Annual Report 2011

Plain-text annual report

Annual Report 2011 Dear Fellow Shareholders, Letter to Shareholders For Lexington Realty Trust, 2011 was a successful year. We met or exceeded our business plan objectives by raising occupancy, recycling capital through dispositions, retiring debt and funding new growth initiatives. The year was also characterized by extreme volatility in the stock market. Our common share price reached a high for the year of $10.14 in May and a low of $5.72 just five months later. Our total return (including reinvestment of dividends) on our common shares was flat for the year. This was a disappointment that we do not believe fairly reflected the numerous successes we achieved in the following areas: (cid:120) Leasing. Our subsidiaries executed new and renewal leases totaling approximately 4.9 million square feet and increased overall portfolio occupancy from 93.4% to approximately 95.9%. Capital Recycling. We monetized 17 properties for an aggregate price of approximately $160.1 million at a weighted-average capitalization rate of 7.4%. Sale proceeds were primarily used to fund new investments and retire debt. (cid:120) (cid:120) Debt Reduction. We reduced consolidated leverage by approximately $119.3 million. (cid:120) Investments. We (1) acquired seven properties for $128.2 million, (2) engaged in six build-to-suit transactions (including one in a joint venture) for an estimated purchase/completion cost of $125.1 million, and (3) originated $18.8 million in third-party loan investments. (cid:120) Dividend Growth. We increased our quarterly common share dividend rate by 8.7% from $0.115 per share to $0.125 per share, or $0.46 per share to $0.50 per share on an annualized basis. Our two and three year total returns were 38.5% and 98.7%, respectively. We believe that this strong period of outperformance reflects the actions we have taken to strengthen our balance sheet, refine and focus our investment and portfolio strategies and improve our long-term growth prospects. So far, 2012 has been a good year. Through March 26, 2012, our common share price increased by 21.8%. We believe that we have viable strategies and opportunities to continue generating total returns that are attractive relative to other REITs, equity investments and fixed income alternatives. The good news is that there is always more work to be done, and as part of our continuing efforts to create shareholder value in 2012, we expect to: (cid:120) Further reduce leverage and extend debt maturities. We intend to continue to reduce leverage and extend our debt maturities, which we have partially accomplished through the refinancing of our secured revolving credit facility and the procurement of the $215.0 million term loan facility in the first quarter of 2012. The margin over LIBOR on our new secured revolving credit facility is 187.5 basis points compared to 250 basis points on our previous facility. In addition, our new secured revolving credit facility extends the maturity by an additional year past the previous facility. Our $215.0 million secured term loan provides us with seven year debt at rates lower than the debt being paid off with the proceeds. This secured term loan allows us to refinance a substantial portion of our 2012 and 2013 debt maturities. In the current interest rate environment, our finance professionals are well positioned to continue to take advantage of similar refinancing opportunities. (cid:120) Dispose of non-core assets. We expect to continue to dispose of non-core and non-performing assets, including retail, multi-tenant and vacant properties. While we have disposed of a substantial portion of these non-core and non-performing assets since 2007, we are extremely sensitive to price. As a result, our disposition team continues to proceed methodically through this process to maximize value. (cid:120) Increase occupancy and extend our portfolio weighted-average lease term. Through March 26, 2012, we signed new and renewal leases for approximately 3.0 million square feet, which includes substantially all of our expected lease renewals in 2012. Our asset management team continues to have great success with respect to releasing our vacancies, maintaining high levels of occupancy and extending our portfolio weighted-average lease term. (cid:120) Acquire new, long-term single-tenant investments. In addition to acquiring existing product, we have continued to provide construction financing and take-out financing for build-to-suit transactions. In the first quarter of 2012, we acquired a build-to-suit facility in Huntington, West Virginia that we were previously the construction lender for. We believe we are a market leader in the single-tenant area and, as of March 26, 2012, we had approximately $167.6 million of transactions under contract that are expected to be completed in 2012 and the first half of 2013. We anticipate that our acquisition volume will increase over the course of the year. We expect the new acquisitions sourced by our acquisition team to improve the overall quality of our portfolio, extend our portfolio weighted-average lease term and add to the cash flow that supports our dividend. Since 2008, we have undertaken all of these efforts with a goal towards focusing our efforts on core-investments to simplify our structure and strengthening of our balance sheet to improve our valuation. As always, we execute our business plan with the goal of steady and dependable dividend growth for our shareholders. We believe that dividend yield and growth will continue to be meaningful components of total return in what is currently an environment of low investment yields. I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support, our employees for another year of solid effort and our corporate tenants for the opportunity to meet their occupancy needs. Sincerely, T.

When we use the terms “Lexington,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we mean Lexington Realty Trust and all entities owned by us, including non-consolidated entities, except where it is clear that the term means only the parent company. All interests in properties are held through special purpose entities, which we refer to as property owner subsidiaries or lender subsidiaries, which are separate and distinct legal entities, but in some instances are consolidated for financial statement purposes and/or disregarded for income tax purposes. References herein to this Annual Report are to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. When we use the term “REIT” we mean real estate investment trust. All references to 2011, 2010 and 2009 refer to our fiscal years ended, or the dates, as the context requires, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Management of our interests in properties is generally conducted through Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary, which we refer to as LRA, or through a property management joint venture subsidiary.

Our primary business is the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of single-tenanted office, industrial and retail properties. Our core assets consist of general purpose, efficient, single-tenant net-leased office and industrial assets, in well-located and growing markets or critical to the tenant's business. A majority of these properties are subject to triple net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs and/or cost increases for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. In addition, we acquire, originate and hold investments in loan assets and debt securities related to real estate. As of December 31, 2011, we had ownership interests in approximately 185 consolidated real estate properties, located in 39 states and containing an aggregate of approximately 36.0 million square feet of space, approximately 95.6% of which was leased. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, no tenant/guarantor represented greater than 10% of our annual base rental revenue. In addition to our beneficial interests, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock, which we refer to as common shares, we have three outstanding classes of beneficial interests classified as preferred stock, which we refer to as preferred shares: (1) 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series B Preferred Shares, (2) 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series C Preferred Shares, and (3) 7.55% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series D Preferred Shares. Our common shares, Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbols “LXP”, “LXP pb”, “LXP pc” and “LXP pd”, respectively. 3 We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our net taxable income that is currently distributed to our common shareholders. History Our predecessor was organized in Delaware in October 1993 upon the combination of two investment programs, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. and Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., which were formed to acquire net-lease real estate assets providing current income. Our predecessor was merged into Lexington Corporate Properties Trust, a Maryland statutory REIT, on December 31, 1997. On December 31, 2006, Lexington Corporate Properties Trust was the successor in a merger with Newkirk Realty Trust, or Newkirk, which we refer to as the Newkirk Merger. All of Newkirk's operations were conducted, and all of its assets were held, through its master limited partnership, subsequently named The Lexington Master Limited Partnership, which we refer to as the MLP. As of December 31, 2008, the MLP was merged with and into us. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and a portion of our business is conducted through our two operating partnership subsidiaries: (1) Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. and (2) Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. On December 31, 2010, a third operating partnership subsidiary, Net 3 Acquisition L.P., was merged with and into us. We refer to these subsidiaries as our operating partnerships and to limited partner interests in these operating partnerships as OP units. We are party to funding agreements with our operating partnerships under which we may be required to fund distributions made on account of OP units. The UPREIT structure enables us to acquire properties through our operating partnerships by issuing OP units to a seller of property, as a form of consideration in exchange for the property. The outstanding OP units are generally redeemable for our common shares on a one OP unit for approximately 1.13 common shares basis, or, at our election in certain instances, cash. We believe that this structure facilitates our ability to raise capital and to acquire portfolio and individual properties by enabling us to structure transactions which may defer tax gains for a contributor of property. As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately 4.0 million OP units outstanding, other than OP units held directly or indirectly by us, that are currently redeemable for approximately 4.5 million common shares if we satisfy redemptions entirely with common shares. Current Economic Uncertainty and Capital Market Volatility Our business continues to be impacted in a number of ways by the continued uncertainty in the overall economy and volatility in the capital markets. We encourage you to read “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report for a discussion of certain risks we are facing and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report for a detailed discussion of the trends we believe are impacting our business. Objectives and Strategy General. We focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet and improving our long-term growth prospects. Since 2008, we believe we have strengthened our balance sheet primarily by (1) repurchasing and retiring our debt and senior securities or by extending their maturity date, (2) financing our properties with non-recourse mortgage debt or corporate credit facilities and term loans at what we believe are favorable rates and using the proceeds to retire higher rate or shorter term debt, (3) issuing equity and recycling capital by selling non-core properties, in order to create additional liquidity and (4) when opportunities arise, investing in core properties with long-term leases and other real estate assets, which we believe will generate favorable returns. We grow our portfolio primarily by: (1) buying properties and leasing them back to the sellers under net leases, (2) acquiring properties already subject to net leases, (3) making mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by single tenant buildings and (4) engaging in, or providing capital to developers who are engaged in, “build-to-suit” projects for corporate users. As part of our ongoing business efforts, we expect to continue to (1) recycle capital in compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements, (2) refinance or repurchase outstanding indebtedness when advisable, (3) effect strategic transactions, portfolio and individual property acquisitions and dispositions, (4) expand existing properties, (5) execute new leases with tenants, (6) extend lease maturities in advance of or at expiration and (7) explore new business lines and operating platforms. Additionally, we may continue to enter into joint ventures and co-investment programs with third-party investors as a means of creating additional growth and expanding the revenue realized from advisory and asset management activities as situations warrant. 4 Portfolio diversification is central to our investment strategy as we seek to create and maintain an asset base that provides steady, predictable and growing cash flows while being insulated against rising property operating expenses, regional recessions, industry- specific downturns and fluctuations in property values and market rent levels. Regardless of capital market and economic conditions, we intend to stay focused on (1) enhancing operating results, (2) improving portfolio quality, (3) mitigating risks relating to interest rates and the real estate cycle and (4) implementing strategies where our management skills and real estate expertise can add value. We believe that our business strategy will continue to improve our liquidity and strengthen our overall balance sheet while creating meaningful shareholder value. Capital Recycling. We began to dispose of our interests in non-core assets in 2007, subject to regulatory and contractual requirements. During 2011, we used the proceeds from dispositions to primarily make investments and retire debt and preferred securities. During 2010 and 2009, we used the proceeds from dispositions to primarily retire debt. We continue to be focused on the disposition of our interests in non-core assets, including vacant and under-performing assets. Occasionally, we provide seller financing as a means of efficiently disposing of an asset. As a result, if a buyer defaults under the seller financing, we will once again be the owner of the underlying asset. Acquisition Strategies. When market conditions warrant, we seek to enhance our single-tenant property portfolio through acquisitions of interests in core assets, including build-to-suit activities and the investment in loan assets and debt securities directly or indirectly secured by core assets. Prior to effecting any acquisition, our underwriting includes analyzing the (1) property's design, construction quality, efficiency, functionality and location with respect to the immediate sub-market, city and region, (2) lease integrity with respect to term, rental rate increases, corporate guarantees and property maintenance provisions, (3) present and anticipated conditions in the local real estate market and (4) prospects for selling or re-leasing the property on favorable terms in the event of a vacancy. We also evaluate each potential tenant's financial strength, growth prospects, competitive position within its respective industry and a property's strategic location and function within a tenant's operations or distribution systems. We believe that our comprehensive underwriting process is critical to the assessment of long-term profitability of any investment by us. Strategic Transactions with Other Real Estate Investment Companies. We seek to capitalize on the unique investment experience of our management team as well as their network of relationships in the industry to achieve appropriate risk-adjusted yields through strategic transactions. Accordingly, we occasionally pursue the (1) acquisition of portfolios of assets and equity interests in companies with a significant number of single-tenant assets, including through mergers and acquisitions activity and (2) participation in strategic partnerships, co-investment programs and joint ventures. In connection with the Newkirk Merger, we acquired what is now a one-third interest in each of Concord Debt Holding LLC, which we refer to as Concord, and CDH CDO LLC, which we refer to as CDH CDO. The remaining two-thirds interests are held equally by WRT Realty L.P., which we refer to as Winthrop, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., which we refer to as Inland Concord. Each of Concord's and CDH CDO's primary business is the ownership of real estate loan and bond assets. In the second quarter of 2011, we formed an equally-owned joint venture, LW Sofi, LLC, with a subsidiary of Winthrop to acquire the economic interests in a mezzanine loan owned by Concord. In the fourth quarter, the mezzanine loan was satisfied and the joint venture was dissolved. During 2007, we established Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P., which we refer to as NLS, a co-investment program with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., which we refer to as Inland NLS, to invest in specialty net- leased real estate. We believe that entering into co-investment programs and joint ventures with institutional investors and other real estate investment companies may mitigate our risk in certain assets and increase our return on equity to the extent we earn management or other fees. However, investments in co-investment programs and joint ventures limit our ability to make unilateral investment decisions relating to the assets and limit our ability to deploy capital. Acquisitions of Portfolios and Individual Net-lease Properties. We seek to acquire portfolios and individual properties from (1) creditworthy companies in sale/leaseback transactions for properties that are integral to the sellers'/tenants' ongoing operations, (2) developers of newly constructed properties built to suit the needs of a corporate tenant by financing the project during the construction phase and/or agreeing to purchase the property upon completion of construction and occupancy by the tenant, (3) other real estate investment companies through strategic transactions and (4) sellers of properties subject to an existing lease. We believe that our geographical diversification and acquisition experience will allow us to continue to compete effectively for the acquisition of such properties. 5 Competition Through our predecessor entities, certain members of our management have been in the net-lease real estate business since 1973. Over this period, our management established a broad network of contacts, including major corporate tenants, developers, brokers and lenders. In addition, our management is associated with and/or participates in many industry organizations. Notwithstanding these relationships, there are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial or other resources that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in these properties. Our competitors include other REITs, pension funds, banks, private companies and individuals. Co-Investment Programs and Other Equity Method Investment Limited Partnerships Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. NLS's portfolio consists of 42 specialty net-leased assets and a 40% tenant-in-common interest in a property. These specialty net-leased assets, which were either sold or contributed by us to NLS, include data centers, light manufacturing facilities, medical office facilities, car dealerships and a golf course. At December 31, 2011, Inland NLS owned 85%, and we owned 15% of NLS's common equity, and we owned 100% of NLS's preferred equity. LRA is the asset manager for NLS pursuant to a management agreement. The partnership agreement provides each partner with a right of first offer and a buy/sell right after February 20, 2012. Concord Debt Holdings LLC and CDH CDO LLC. On December 31, 2006, in connection with the Newkirk Merger, we acquired a 50% interest in Concord, which owns bonds and loans secured, directly and indirectly, by real estate assets. The other 50% interest in Concord was held by Winthrop. In 2008, we and Winthrop contributed our respective interest in Concord to Lex-Win Concord LLC, which we refer to as Lex-Win Concord. Immediately following the contribution, Inland Concord was admitted to Concord as a preferred member upon making a capital commitment. During the third quarter of 2010, Concord was restructured upon the effectiveness of a settlement agreement with Inland Concord regarding Inland's capital commitment. As a result of the restructuring (i) Lex-Win Concord was dissolved and (ii) Concord and a new entity, CDH CDO, are now owned equally by subsidiaries of us, Winthrop and Inland Concord. The new entity purchased Concord's interest in Concord Real Estate CDO 2006-1 LTD, which we refer to as CDO-1, from Concord with funds contributed by Inland Concord. The Company has made no additional contributions and it has not recognized any income or loss as a direct result of the restructuring, however, we recognize future income on the cash basis. The Company's investment in these ventures is valued at zero. Each of Concord's and CDH CDO's obligations are non-recourse to us, and we have no obligation to fund the operations of Concord or CDH CDO unless we receive management fees, and then, only to the extent of such management fees. Other Equity Method Investment Limited Partnerships. We are a partner in five other partnerships with ownership percentages ranging between 27% and 35%, which own primarily net-leased properties. All profits, losses and cash flows are distributed in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. As of December 31, 2011, the partnerships had $21.6 million in non-recourse mortgage debt (our proportionate share was $6.5 million) with interest rates ranging from 9.4% to 11.5%, a weighted-average interest rate of 9.9% and maturity dates ranging from 2012 to 2016. We have determined that NLS and Lex-Win Concord have met the conditions of significant subsidiaries under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for certain years. The separate financial statements of NLS and Lex-Win Concord, as required pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Annual Report. Internal Growth and Effectively Managing Assets Tenant Relations and Lease Compliance. We endeavor to maintain close contact with the tenants in the properties in which we have an interest in order to understand their financial status and future real estate needs. We monitor the financial, property maintenance and other lease obligations of the tenants in properties in which we have an interest, through a variety of means, including periodic reviews of financial statements that we have access to and physical inspections of the properties. Extending Lease Maturities. Our property owner subsidiaries seek to extend tenant leases in advance of the lease expiration in order for us to maintain a balanced lease rollover schedule and high occupancy levels. Revenue Enhancing Property Expansions. Our property owner subsidiaries undertake expansions of properties based on lease requirements, tenant requirements or marketing opportunities. We believe that selective property expansions can provide attractive rates of return and our property owner subsidiaries actively seek such opportunities. 6 Property Sales. Subject to regulatory requirements, we sell our interests in properties when we believe that the return realized from selling a property will exceed the expected return from continuing to hold such property and/or if there is a better use of capital such as repurchasing our debt and senior securities. Conversion to Multi-Tenant. If one of our property subsidiaries is unable to renew a single-tenant net lease or if it is unable to find a replacement single tenant, we either attempt to sell our interest in the property or have the property owner subsidiary convert the property to multi-tenant use and begin the process of leasing space. When appropriate, we seek to sell our interests in multi- tenant properties. Property Management. From time to time, our property owner subsidiaries use property managers to manage certain properties. In 2010, we formed a property management joint venture with an unaffiliated third party to manage substantially all of these properties. We believe this joint venture provides us with (1) better management of our assets, (2) better tenant relationships, (3) revenue- enhancing opportunities and (4) cost efficiencies. Financing Strategy General. Since becoming a public company, our principal sources of financing have been the public and private equity and debt markets, property specific debt, revolving loans, corporate term loans, issuance of OP units and undistributed cash flows. Property Specific Debt. Our property owners seek to finance certain of their assets with non-recourse secured debt. Corporate Level Borrowings. We also use corporate-level borrowings, such as revolving loans and term loans, as needed, and when other forms of financing are not available or appropriate. In January 2012, we procured a $215.0 million secured term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent. The term loan is secured by ownership interest pledges by certain subsidiaries that collectively own a borrowing base of properties. The secured term loan matures in January 2019. The secured term loan requires regular payments of interest only at an interest rate dependent on our leverage ratio, as defined, as follows: 2.00% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is less than 45%, 2.25% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.45% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 50% and 55%, and 2.85% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio exceeds 55%. Upon the date when we obtain an investment grade debt rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the secured term loan will be dependent on our debt rating. We may not prepay any outstanding borrowings under the secured term loan through January 12, 2013, but may prepay outstanding borrowings anytime thereafter, however at a premium for the next three years. Also in January 2012, we refinanced our $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility procured in January 2011, which was scheduled to expire in January 2014, but could have been extended to January 2015 at our option, with a new $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association, which we refer to as KeyBank, as agent. The new secured revolving credit facility has the same security as the new secured term loan. The new secured revolving credit facility bears interest at 1.625% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio, as defined, is less than 45%, 1.875% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.125% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 50% and 55% and 2.375% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio exceeds 55%. Upon the date when we obtain an investment grade credit rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the secured revolving credit facility will be dependent on our debt rating. The new secured revolving credit facility matures in January 2015 but can be extended until January 2016 at our option. With the consent of the lenders, we can increase the size of the secured revolving credit facility by $225.0 million for a total secured revolving credit facility size of $525.0 million by adding properties to the borrowing base and admitting additional lenders. The borrowing availability of the secured revolving credit facility is based upon the net operating income, as defined, of the properties comprising the borrowing base. We expect to use the new secured term loan to refinance certain indebtedness, the majority of which is maturing in 2012. We borrowed $108.0 million under the secured term loan and $28.0 million under the secured revolving credit facility to repay the term loans in the original principal amounts of $25.0 million and $45.0 million, which were procured from KeyBank in March 2008 and to satisfy $62.2 million outstanding principal amount of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes tendered pursuant to a holder repurchase option in January 2012. In addition, effective February 1, 2012, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement to fix LIBOR at 1.512% for seven years on $108.0 million of secured term loan LIBOR-based debt. Accordingly, the amount outstanding under the secured new term loan bears interest at a rate of 3.76% as of the date of filing this Annual Report. During 2010, we issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require us to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve our REIT status. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the notes have a conversion rate of 142.6917 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of $7.01 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at our election. 7 Deleveraging. Our primary focus for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was to effectively use our capital to deleverage our balance sheet by refinancing, satisfying and repurchasing indebtedness. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we reduced our overall consolidated indebtedness by $119.3 million, $300.3 million and $305.6 million, respectively, including $25.5 million and $123.4 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, original principal amount of our 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes. Common Share Issuances During 2011, we raised approximately $90.5 million by issuing 10.0 million common shares through a public offering. The proceeds from the common share offering were primarily used to fund investments and retire indebtedness. During 2010, we raised approximately $157.8 million by issuing approximately 22.4 million common shares through two public offerings. The proceeds from these common share offerings were primarily used to retire indebtedness. We also maintain a direct share purchase plan with a dividend reinvestment component. During 2011 and 2010, we issued approximately 1.1 million and 1.3 million common shares, respectively, under our direct share purchase plan raising net proceeds of $8.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The net proceeds were primarily used to fund investments and retire indebtedness. Common Share Repurchases During 2008, we entered into a forward equity commitment to purchase 3.5 million common shares at a price of $5.60 per share, or a total of $19.6 million. We made mandatory prepayments totaling $15.6 million in 2008 and 2009. Share dividends in 2009 were held as additional collateral. The commitment was settled in October 2011 for a cash payment of approximately $4.0 million and approximately 4.0 million common shares, constituting all of the underlying common shares, were retired. As of December 31, 2011, 1.1 million common shares/OP units remained eligible for repurchase under our previously announced share repurchase authorization. Preferred Share Repurchases During 2011, we repurchased and retired approximately 0.4 million Series B Preferred Shares and 0.1 million Series C Preferred Shares. The aggregate purchase price of $15.5 million was at a $1.3 million discount to the liquidation preferences of the preferred shares. Advisory Contracts General. Certain members of our management have been in the business of investing in single-tenant net-lease properties since 1973. This experience has enabled us to provide advisory services to various net-lease investors. Third Party Investors. In 2001, LRA entered into an advisory and asset management agreement to invest and manage an equity commitment of up to $50.0 million on behalf of a private third-party investment fund. Under the agreement, LRA earns (1) an acquisition fee (90 basis points of total acquisition costs), (2) an annual asset management fee (30 basis points of gross asset value) and (3) an incentive fee (16% of the return in excess of an internal rate of return of 10% earned by the investment fund). The investment fund made no purchases in 2011, 2010 or 2009 and owned one property as of December 31, 2011. Affiliated Investors. Through LRA, we provide advisory services to NLS. In exchange for providing advisory services to NLS, LRA receives (1) a management fee of 0.375% of the equity capital, as defined, (2) a property management fee of up to 3.0% of actual gross revenues from certain assets where the landlord is obligated to provide property management services (contingent upon the recoverability of such fees from the tenant under the applicable lease) and (3) an acquisition fee of 0.5% of the gross purchase price of each asset acquired by NLS. Environmental Matters Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, an owner of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities may include government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances. Although generally the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental damage and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of a tenant of such premises to satisfy any obligations with respect to such environmental liability, a property owner subsidiary may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, as the owner of such properties, a property owner subsidiary may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease. 8 From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business and generally upon acquisition of a property and prior to surrender by a tenant, the property owner subsidiary authorizes the preparation of a Phase I and, when necessary, a Phase II environmental report with respect to its properties. Based upon such environmental reports and our ongoing review of the properties in which we have an interest, as of the date of this Annual Report, we are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the properties in which we have an interest which we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that (1) the discovery of environmental conditions, the existence or severity of which were previously unknown, (2) changes in law, (3) the conduct of tenants or (4) activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the properties in which we have an interest, will not expose us to material liability in the future. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the tenants of properties in which we have an interest, which would adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations. Impairment Charges During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $117.4 million, $56.9 million and $175.9 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges primarily related to (1) sales and other dispositions, or the possible sale or disposition, of assets at below book value, (2) vacancies of certain assets and (3) during 2009, $74.7 million of non-cash impairment charges related to our investment in Lex-Win Concord and another non-consolidated investment, which are included in equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated entities in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, we may continue to take similar non-cash impairment charges, which could be material in amount, due to (1) the current economic environment and (2) the implementation of our current business strategy, which may include sales of properties acquired in the Newkirk Merger that have a high cost basis because of our common share price at the time of the Newkirk Merger. Summary of 2011 Transactions and Recent Developments The following summarizes certain of our transactions during 2011, including transactions disclosed above and in our other periodic reports. Sales.

Through lender subsidiaries, we: - made a $10.0 million mezzanine loan secured by a 100% pledge of all equity interests in the entities which owned two, to-be-constructed distribution facilities. The loan was scheduled to mature in June 2013 and had an interest rate of 15.0% for the first year and 18.5% for the second year. The loan was fully satisfied in December 2011 for an $11.5 million payment which included accrued interest and yield maintenance; - loaned $3.0 million to the buyer in connection with the sale for $3.7 million of a vacant industrial property. The loan is secured by the property, bears interest at 7.8% and matures in January 2013; - received $9.5 million, plus accrued interest, in full satisfaction of a mezzanine loan made in 2010, which was secured by interests in multiple properties; and - contributed $5.8 million to a newly formed joint venture to invest in a mezzanine loan and received $7.9 million upon the joint venture liquidation. Leasing. Through our property owner subsidiaries, we entered into 62 new leases and lease extensions encompassing an aggregate 4.9 million square feet. Our property owner subsidiaries received $22.4 million from five lease terminations of which $21.3 million is included in deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2011. Financing. With respect to financing activities, in January 2011 we refinanced our $220.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in February 2011 but could have been extended to February 2012, with a $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 2014 but could have been extended at our option to January 2015, which was refinanced subsequent to year end as described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Through our property owner subsidiaries, we: - retired $134.3 million in property non-recourse mortgage debt; and - obtained $15.0 million non-recourse mortgage financing on an industrial property. Capital. With respect to capital activities, we: - issued 10.0 million common shares in a public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $90.5 million; - issued approximately 1.1 million common shares under our direct share purchase plan raising net proceeds of approximately $8.4 million; 10 - settled our common share forward purchase equity commitment for approximately $4.0 million and retired approximately 4.0 million common shares; and - repurchased and retired approximately 0.4 million Series B Preferred Shares and approximately 0.1 million Series C Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.5 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, we: - procured a $215.0 million seven-year secured term loan and refinanced our existing $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility; - satisfied term loans obtained in 2008 that had an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $60.6 million; - satisfied a swap liability of $3.5 million; - repurchased $62.2 million outstanding principal amount of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes tendered pursuant to a holder repurchase option in January 2012; - through a property owner subsidiary, acquired the build-to-suit office property located in Huntington, West Virginia; and - delivered a notice exercising the buy/sell right in the NLS partnership agreement and received notification from our partner exercising the right of first offer in the NLS partnership agreement.

Risk Factors Set forth below are material factors that may adversely affect our business and operations. We are subject to risks involved in single-tenant leases. We focus our acquisition activities on real properties that are net leased to single tenants. Therefore, the financial failure of, or other default by, a single tenant under its lease is likely to cause a significant reduction in the operating cash flow generated by the property leased to that tenant and might decrease the value of that property. In addition, our property owner subsidiary will be responsible for 100% of the operating costs following a vacancy at a single-tenant building. We rely on revenues derived from major tenants. Revenues from several tenants and/or their guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our base rental revenues. The default, financial distress or bankruptcy of any of the tenants and/or guarantors of these properties could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease revenues and/or result in vacancies, which would reduce the property owner subsidiary's revenues and increase operating costs until the affected property is re-let, and could decrease the ultimate sale value of that property. Upon the expiration or other termination of the leases that are currently in place with respect to these properties, the property owner subsidiary may not be able to re-lease the vacant property at a comparable lease rate, at all, or without incurring additional expenditures in connection with the re-leasing. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Overview - Leasing Trends” in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report for further discussion. Our assets may be subject to impairment charges. We periodically evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on generally accepted accounting principles, which include a variety of factors such as market conditions, the status of significant leases, the financial condition of major tenants and other factors that could affect the cash flow or value of an investment. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $117.4 million, $56.9 million and $175.9 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges. A substantial portion of these impairments related to assets acquired in the Newkirk Merger that have a high cost basis because of our common share price at the time of the Newkirk Merger. In addition, we may continue to take similar non-cash impairment charges, which could affect the implementation of our current business strategy. These impairments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our interests in loans receivable are subject to delinquency, foreclosure and loss. Our interests in loans receivable are generally non-recourse and secured by real estate properties owned by borrowers that were unable to obtain similar financing from a commercial bank. These loans are subject to risks of delinquency as well as risk associated with the capital markets. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by a real estate property is typically and primarily dependent upon the successful operation of such property rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If a borrower were to default on a loan, it is possible that the lender subsidiary would not recover the full value of the loan and the collateral may be non-performing. In 2011, one of our lender subsidiaries received a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on an office property in Wilsonville, Oregon, which the tenant vacated in 2010. The loan had an outstanding principal balance of $10.6 million, which we believe was above the fair value of the property, and accordingly we incurred an impairment charge in 2010 of $3.8 million relating to this loan. We face uncertainties relating to lease renewals and re-letting of space. Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in properties in which we have an interest, our property owner subsidiary may not be able to re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants and leasing commissions) may be less favorable to our property owner subsidiary than current lease terms or market rates. If our property owner subsidiaries are unable to promptly re-let all or a substantial portion of the space located in their respective properties, or if the rental rates a property owner subsidiary receives upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our earnings and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in rent receipts and increase in our property owner subsidiary's property operating costs. There can be no assurance that our property owner subsidiaries will be able to retain tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of leases. 12 Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties and related assets, including acquisitions of large portfolios and real estate companies and acquisitions through co-investment programs and joint ventures. In the context of our business plan, “development” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property or the financing and/or acquisition of a newly constructed build-to-suit property. We may provide a developer with either a combination of (1) financing for construction of a build-to-suit property, or (2) a commitment to acquire a property upon completion of construction of a build-to- suit property and commencement of rent from the tenant. In addition, we may acquire a property subject to a lease and engage a developer to complete construction of a build-to-suit property as required by the lease. Our plan to grow through the acquisition and development of new properties could be adversely affected by trends in the real estate and financing businesses. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of an extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. Our ability to implement our strategy may be impeded because we may have difficulty finding new properties and investments at attractive prices that meet our investment criteria, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing. If we are unable to carry out our strategy, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment and new project development are subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or force majeure events that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. Some of our acquisitions and developments may be financed using the proceeds of periodic equity or debt offerings, lines of credit or other forms of secured or unsecured financing that may result in a risk that permanent financing for newly acquired projects might not be available or would be available only on disadvantageous terms. If permanent debt or equity financing is not available on acceptable terms to refinance acquisitions undertaken without permanent financing, further acquisitions may be curtailed, or cash available for distribution to shareholders may be adversely affected. Acquisition activities may not produce expected results and may be affected by outside factors. We intend to continue to acquire core properties. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail certain risks, such as (1) occupancy, rental rates and expenses may differ from estimates, (2) the properties may become subject to environmental liabilities that we were unaware of at the time we acquired the property despite any environmental testing, (3) we may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy and (4) projected exit strategies may not come to fruition due to a variety of factors such as market conditions at time of dispositions. We may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our acquisition criteria, or we may fail to complete acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or complete acquisitions could slow our growth, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We face certain risks associated with our build-to-suit activities. From time to time, we engage in, or provide capital to developers who are engaged in, build-to-suit activities. We face uncertainties, associated with a developer's performance and timely completion of a project. If a developer fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to compel performance, remove the developer or rescind the purchase or construction contract. A developer's performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the developer's control. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to developers before completion of construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. We also rely on third-party construction managers and/or engineers to monitor the construction activities. We rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a purchase price at the time we acquire the property, which may be up to two years prior to the estimated date of completion. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay more than the fair value of a property. Our multi-tenant properties expose us to additional risks. Our multi-tenant properties involve risks not typically encountered in real estate properties which are operated by a single tenant. The ownership of multi-tenant properties could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of suitable tenants may not be found to enable the property to operate profitably and provide a return to us. This risk may be compounded by the failure of existing tenants to satisfy their obligations due to various factors, including the current economic crisis. These risks, in turn, could cause a material adverse impact to our results of operations and business. 13 Multi-tenant properties are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuation in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating results. Multi-tenant properties also expose us to the risk of potential "CAM slippage," which may occur when the actual cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance at the property exceeds the operating expenses paid by tenants. We are highly leveraged, which increases risk of default on our obligations and debt service requirements. We are more leveraged than certain of our competitors. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, direct and indirect indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. Neither our amended and restated declaration of trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our Board of Trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we may incur, and accordingly, we could become even more highly leveraged. High levels of leverage may result in an increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay distributions. Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on our borrowing costs, profitability and our share price. We have exposure to market risks relating to increases in interest rates due to our variable-rate debt. An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing on existing variable-rate indebtedness, leading to a reduction in our earnings. As of December 31, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding in consolidated variable-rate indebtedness that were not subject to an interest-rate swap agreement. However, borrowings under our new secured revolving credit facility and new secured term loan are subject to variable rates. Effective February 1, 2012, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement to fix LIBOR at 1.512% on $108.0 million of borrowings under the new secured term loan. The level of our variable-rate indebtedness, along with the interest rate associated with such variable-rate indebtedness, may change in the future and materially affect our interest costs and earnings. In addition, our interest costs on our fixed-rate indebtedness may increase if we are required to refinance our fixed-rate indebtedness upon maturity at higher interest rates. Furthermore, the public valuation of our common shares is related primarily to the earnings that we derive from rental income with respect to the properties in which we have an interest and not from the underlying appraised value of the properties themselves. As a result, interest rate fluctuations and capital market conditions can affect the market value of our common shares. For instance, if interest rates rise, the market price of our common shares may decrease because potential investors seeking a higher dividend yield than they would receive from our common shares may sell our common shares in favor of higher rate interest-bearing securities. Continued disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on us. Since 2008, the United States credit markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have caused the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional debt financing on reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to make acquisitions. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets may cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of capital or difficulties in obtaining capital. These events in the credit markets have also had an adverse effect on other financial markets in the United States, which may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. These disruptions in the financial markets may have other adverse effects on us or the economy in general. In addition to the interest rate swap agreement on $108.0 million of borrowing under our new secured term loan, we have interest rate swap agreements through our investment in CDH CDO. The counterparties of these arrangements are major financial institutions; however, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The trading price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations. Since January 1, 2008, the closing sale price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (composite) has ranged from $17.22 to $2.01 per share. The market price of our common shares may fluctuate in response to company-specific and securities market events and developments including those described in this Annual Report. In addition, the amount of our indebtedness may impact investor demand for our common shares, which could have a material effect on the market price of our common shares. 14 We have engaged and may engage in hedging transactions that may limit gains or result in losses. We have used derivatives to hedge certain of our liabilities. This has certain risks, including losses on a hedge position, which have in the past and may in the future reduce the return on our investments. Such losses may exceed the amount invested in such instruments. In addition, counterparties to a hedging arrangement could default on their obligations. We may have to pay certain costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, related to hedging transactions. We face risks associated with refinancings. A significant number of the properties in which we have an interest, as well as corporate-level borrowings, are subject to mortgage or other secured notes with balloon payments due at maturity. As of December 31, 2011, the consolidated scheduled balloon payments, for the next five calendar years, are as follows: Year 2012 (1) 2013 (2) 2014 2015 2016 Non-Recourse Property-Specific Balloon Payments 147.9 million 234.9 million 229.1 million 268.8 million 121.9 million $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Corporate Recourse Balloon Payments(3) 62.2 million 60.6 million — — — (1) Includes 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes due in January 2027 which were repurchased and retired in January 2012 pursuant to a holder repurchase option. (2) Includes corporate recourse balloon payments satisfied subsequent to December 31, 2011. (3) Balances were retired with borrowings from our secured term loan and secured revolving credit facility obtained in 2012. The ability to make the scheduled balloon payment on a non-recourse mortgage note will depend upon (1) in the event we determine to contribute capital, our cash balances and the amount available under our secured term loan and secured revolving credit facility and (2) the property owner subsidiary's ability either to refinance the related mortgage debt or to sell the related property. If the property owner subsidiary is unable to refinance or sell the related property, the property may be conveyed to the lender through foreclosure or the property owner subsidiary may declare bankruptcy. The failure to pay the balloon payment may strain relationships with lenders. We face risks associated with returning properties to lenders. A significant number of the properties in which we have an interest are subject to non-recourse mortgages, which generally provide that a lender can only look to the property in the event of a default. During January 2012, a lender foreclosed on a vacant property in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which we had an interest and during 2009, lenders foreclosed on vacant properties located in Richmond, Virginia and Plymouth, Michigan, in which we had an interest, because the property owner subsidiaries were unable to pay the required debt service. In 2009, a vacant property in Houston, Texas was disposed of in the bankruptcy of the property owner subsidiary because the property owner subsidiary was unable to pay the required debt service. As a result, we lost all of our interest in these properties and any future opportunities to re-tenant these properties. The loss of a significant number of properties to foreclosure or bankruptcy could adversely affect our (1) financial condition and results of operations, (2) relationships with lenders and (3) ability to obtain additional financing in the future. In addition, in instances not involving us, there are at least two cases in Michigan where a lender has been successful (at the trial court level in one case and at the trial court and appeals court level in the other case) in triggering a carve out to the non-recourse nature of a mortgage loan because the value of the property declined below the balance of the mortgage. While we believe this goes against the express intention of a non-recourse mortgage loan, to the extent these cases are not overturned or superseded by legislation, the ability of our property owner subsidiaries to return properties to lenders may be inhibited and we may be liable for all or a portion of such losses. 15 Certain of our properties are cross-collateralized, and certain of our indebtedness is cross-defaulted. As of December 31, 2011, the mortgages on three sets of two properties, one set of three properties and one set of four properties are cross-collateralized. In addition, (1) our new secured revolving credit facility and our new secured term loan are secured by ownership interest pledges in a borrowing base of properties, (2) our $45.0 million original principal amount secured term loan (of which $35.6 million was outstanding at December 31, 2011 and all of which was satisfied in January 2012) was secured by pledges of interests in a borrowing base of interests in certain properties and (3) our $25.0 million secured term loan (all of which was satisfied in January 2012) was secured by pledges of interests in three properties. To the extent that any of the properties in which we have an interest are cross-collateralized, any default by the property owner subsidiary under the mortgage note relating to one property will result in a default under the financing arrangements relating to any other property that also provides security for that mortgage note or is cross-collateralized with such mortgage note. In addition, our new secured revolving credit facility, new secured term loan, and 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes contain cross-default provisions, which may be triggered if we default on indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds. We face possible liability relating to environmental matters. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, our property owner subsidiaries may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under the properties in which we have an interest as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities may include government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. These laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those substances. This liability may be imposed on our property owner subsidiaries in connection with the activities of an operator of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and our liability therefore could be significant and could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect a property owner subsidiary's ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce our revenues and ability to make distributions. A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, our property owner subsidiary may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease. From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, our property owner subsidiaries authorize the preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to their properties. There can be no assurance that these environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at the properties in which we have an interest or that the following will not expose us to material liability in the future: • • • • the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions; changes in law; activities of tenants; or activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the properties in which we have an interest. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. 16 From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business require time and effort. The outcomes of legal proceedings are subject to significant uncertainty. Certain legal proceedings that we are currently involved in are described in note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report. In the event that we are unsuccessful defending or prosecuting these proceedings, as applicable, we may incur a judgment or fail to realize an award of damages that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial condition. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rent loss insurance on most of the properties in which we have an interest, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are customary for similar properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain rent loss insurance. In addition, certain of our leases require the tenant to maintain all insurance on the property, and the failure of the tenant to maintain the proper insurance could adversely impact our investment in a property in the event of a loss. Furthermore, there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or certain acts of God, that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose capital invested in a property as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Future terrorist attacks, military conflicts and unrest in the Middle East could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions, consumer confidence and market liquidity. The types of terrorist attacks since 2001, on-going and future military conflicts and the continued unrest in the Middle East may affect commodity prices and interest rates, among other things. An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing, leading to a reduction in our earnings. The increase in the price of oil will cause an increase in our operating costs, which may not be reimbursed by our tenants. Also, terrorist acts could also result in significant damages to, or loss of, our properties or the value thereof. We and the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable economic terms for losses resulting from acts of terrorism. Our lenders may require that we carry terrorism insurance even if we do not believe this insurance is necessary or cost effective. We may also be prohibited under the applicable lease from passing all or a portion of the cost of such insurance through to the tenant. Should an act of terrorism result in an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose capital invested in a property as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types could adversely affect our financial condition. Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties. There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial and other resources than we have that compete with us in seeking investments and tenants. Due to our focus on net-lease properties located throughout the United States, and because most competitors are often locally and/or regionally focused, we do not always encounter the same competitors in each market. Our competitors include other REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties and lower returns and impact our ability to grow. Our failure to maintain effective internal control could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and share price. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control, as such standards may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Moreover, effective internal control, particularly related to revenue recognition, is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and to maintain our qualification as a REIT and is important in helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, our REIT qualification could be jeopardized, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and the trading price of our shares could drop significantly. 17 We may have limited control over our co-investment programs and joint venture investments. Our co-investment programs and joint venture investments involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our partner might, at any time, become bankrupt, have different interests or goals than we do, or take action contrary to our expectations, its previous instructions or our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT. Other risks of co-investment program and joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor our partner has full control over the co-investment program or joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in co- investment programs and joint ventures. Two of our co-investment programs, Concord and CDH CDO, are owned equally by our subsidiaries, Winthrop and Inland Concord. Material actions taken by Concord and CDH CDO require the consent of each of co-investment partner. Accordingly, Concord and CDH CDO may not take certain actions or invest in certain assets even if we believe it to be in its best interest. Another co-investment program, NLS, is managed by an Executive Committee comprised of three persons appointed by us and two persons appointed by our partner. With few exceptions, the affirmative vote of four members of the Executive Committee is required to conduct business. Accordingly, we do not control the business decisions of this co-investment program. Certain of our trustees and officers may face conflicts of interest with respect to sales and refinancings. E. Robert Roskind, our Chairman, beneficially owns a significant number of OP units, and as a result, may face different and more adverse tax consequences than our other shareholders will if we sell our interests in certain properties or reduce mortgage indebtedness on certain properties. Our Chairman may, therefore, have different objectives than our other shareholders regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of any sale of such properties or reduction of mortgage debt. Accordingly, there may be instances in which we may not sell a property or pay down the debt on a property even though doing so would be advantageous to our other shareholders. In the event of an appearance of a conflict of interest, the conflicted trustee or officer is required to recuse himself or herself from any decision making or seek a waiver of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid. Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions is limited. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number or type of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. There can be no assurance that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REITs are more complex than those applicable to corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. If we do not qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. We also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be significantly reduced or suspended for each year in which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make distributions. Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us, without the consent of the shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification. 18 We may be subject to the REIT prohibited transactions tax, which could result in significant U.S. federal income tax liability to us. In 2007 we announced a restructuring of our investment strategy, focusing on core assets. A REIT will incur a 100% tax on the net income from a prohibited transaction. Generally, a prohibited transaction includes a sale or disposition of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. While we believe that the dispositions of our assets pursuant to the restructuring of our investment strategy should not be treated as prohibited transactions, whether a particular sale will be treated as a prohibited transaction depends on the underlying facts and circumstances. We have not sought and do not intend to seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding any dispositions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our dispositions of such assets will not be subject to the prohibited transactions tax. If all or a significant portion of those dispositions were treated as prohibited transactions, we would incur a significant U.S. federal income tax liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our flexibility. To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income for that calendar year. Our taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and (iii) 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code and to reduce exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining our taxable income and the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis in order to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. Certain limitations limit a third party's ability to acquire us or effectuate a change in our control. Limitations imposed to protect our REIT status. In order to protect us against the loss of our REIT status, among other restrictions, our declaration of trust limits any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding equity shares, defined as common shares or preferred shares, subject to certain exceptions. These ownership limits may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of us. Our Board of Trustees has granted limited waivers of the ownership limits to Vornado Realty, L.P., BlackRock, Inc. and Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. Severance payments under employment agreements. Substantial termination payments may be required to be paid under the provisions of employment agreements with certain of our executives upon a change of control. We have entered into employment agreements with four of our executive officers which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us (including a change in ownership of more than 50% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding securities, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, dissolution, the acquisition, except from us, of 20% or more of our voting shares or a change in the majority of our Board of Trustees), if those executive officers are terminated without cause, as defined, those executive officers may be entitled to severance benefits based on their current annual base salaries and trailing average of recent annual cash bonuses as defined in the employment agreements. Accordingly, these payments may discourage a third party from acquiring us. Our ability to issue additional shares. Our amended and restated declaration of trust (1) authorizes 400,000,000 common shares, 100,000,000 preferred shares and 500,000,000 excess shares and (2) authorizes our Board of Trustees to cause us to issue these shares without shareholder approval. Our Board of Trustees is able to establish the preferences and rights of any such class or series of additional shares, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in shareholders' best interests. At December 31, 2011, in addition to common shares, we had outstanding 2,740,874 Series B Preferred Shares, 1,970,200 Series C Preferred Shares, and 6,200,000 Series D Preferred Shares. Our Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Shares include provisions, such as increases in dividend rates or adjustments to conversion rates, that may deter a change of control. The establishment and issuance of shares of our existing series of preferred shares or a future class or series of shares could make a change of control of us more difficult. 19 Maryland Business Combination Act. The Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, establishes special restrictions against “business combinations” between a Maryland REIT and “interested shareholders” or their affiliates unless an exemption is applicable. An interested shareholder includes a person who beneficially owns, and an affiliate or associate of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our then-outstanding voting shares, but a person is not an interested shareholder if the Board of Trustees approved in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested shareholder, which approval may be conditioned by the Board of Trustees. Among other things, Maryland law prohibits (for a period of five years) a merger and certain other transactions between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder, or an affiliate of an interested shareholder. The five-year period runs from the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the Board of Trustees and approved by two super-majority shareholder votes unless, among other conditions, the common shareholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares. The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the Board of Trustees prior to the time that the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. The business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if such acquisition would be in shareholders' best interests. In connection with the Newkirk Merger, Vornado Realty Trust, which we refer to as Vornado, was granted a limited exemption from the definition of “interested shareholder.” Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Maryland law provides that “control shares” of a Maryland REIT acquired in a “control share acquisition” shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares owned by the acquirer, by our officers or by employees who are our trustees are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. “Control Shares” means shares that, if aggregated with all other shares previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions. If voting rights of control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a shareholders' meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required under the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a shareholders' meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under our by-laws will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Our amended and restated by-laws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. We cannot assure you that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. Limits on ownership of our capital shares may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us. For us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of our outstanding capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined for federal income tax purposes to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year, and these capital shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year for which a REIT election is made). Our amended and restated declaration of trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of our capital shares and ownership limits. Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in violation of the restrictions or in excess of the share ownership limits contained in our amended and restated declaration of trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be void or cause the shares to be transferred to a charitable trust and then sold to a person or entity who can own the shares without violating these limits. As a result, if a violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex, and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits. However, these restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases to prevent the transfer of our capital shares in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limits discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us, even though a change of control could involve a premium price for the common shares or otherwise be in shareholders' best interests. 20 Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or you as a shareholder. REIT dividends generally are not eligible for the reduced rates currently applicable to certain corporate dividends (unless attributable to dividends from taxable REIT subsidiaries and otherwise eligible for such rates). As a result, investment in non-REIT corporations may be relatively more attractive than investment in REITs. This could adversely affect the market price of our shares. Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles applicable to us and the tenants of properties in which we have an interest. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which we refer to as GAAP, are subject to interpretation by various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we refer to as the FASB. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change and could affect the business practices and decisions of the tenants of properties in which we have an interest. We may change the dividend policy for our common shares in the future. We currently expect to pay an aggregate annual dividend of $0.50 per common share with respect to the 2012 taxable year. However, the decision to declare and pay dividends on our common shares in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors. The actual dividend payable will be determined by our Board of Trustees based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and the actual dividend payable may vary from such expected amount. Any change in our dividend policy could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares. Our Board of Trustees may change our investment policy without shareholders' approval. Subject to our fundamental investment policy to maintain our qualification as a REIT, our Board of Trustees will determine our investment and financing policies, growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. Our Board of Trustees may revise or amend these strategies and policies at any time without a vote by shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders' control over changes in our strategies and policies is limited to the election of trustees and changes made by our Board of Trustees may not serve the interests of shareholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT. The concentration of ownership by certain investors may limit other shareholders from influencing significant corporate decisions. At December 31, 2011, Vornado beneficially owned approximately 18.5 million common shares, and E. Robert Roskind, our Chairman, beneficially owned approximately 1.1 million of our common shares and approximately 1.5 million OP units, which are currently redeemable for approximately 1.7 million common shares, or with respect to a portion of the OP units, at our election, cash. Mr. Roskind and an employee of Vornado sit on our Board of Trustees as of the date of filing this Annual Report. Each of Vornado and Mr. Roskind may have substantial influence over us and on the outcome of any matters submitted to our shareholders for approval. In addition, certain decisions concerning our operations or financial structure may present conflicts of interest between each of Vornado and Mr. Roskind and our other equity or debt holders. In addition, Vornado engages in a wide variety of activities in the real estate business and may engage in activities that result in conflicts of interest with respect to matters affecting us, such as competition for properties and tenants. Securities eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on our share price. We have an unallocated universal shelf registration statement and a direct share purchase plan, pursuant to which we may issue additional common shares. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, an aggregate of approximately 8.4 million of our common shares are issuable upon the exercise of employee share options and upon the exchange of OP units. There are also 16.4 million common shares underlying our 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes as of December 31, 2011, which is subject to increase upon certain events, including if we pay a quarterly common share dividend in excess of $0.10 per common share. Depending upon the number of such securities issued, exercised or exchanged at one time, an issuance, exercise or exchange of such securities could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares. 21  We are dependent upon our key personnel. We are dependent upon key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed. We are dependent on certain of our executive officers for business direction. In January 2012, we entered into three-year employment agreements with each of T. Wilson Eglin, our Chief Executive Officer and President, E. Robert Roskind, our Chairman, Richard J. Rouse, our Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, and Patrick Carroll, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. However, an employment agreement does not itself prevent an employee from resigning. Our inability to retain the services of any of our key personnel or our loss of any of their services could adversely impact our operations. We do not have key man life insurance coverage on our executive officers. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments There are no unresolved written comments that were received from the SEC staff 180 days or more before the end of our fiscal year relating to our periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 22 Item 2. Properties Real Estate Portfolio General. As of December 31, 2011, we had ownership interests in approximately 36.0 million square feet of rentable space in approximately 185 consolidated office, industrial and retail properties and these properties were approximately 95.6% leased based upon net rentable square feet. All properties in which we have an interest are held through at least one property owner subsidiary. The properties in which we have an interest are generally subject to net leases; however, in certain leases the property owner subsidiaries are responsible for roof, structural and other repairs. In addition, certain of the properties in which we have an interest (including those held through non-consolidated entities) are subject to leases in which the landlord is responsible for a portion of the real estate taxes, utilities and general maintenance. Furthermore, the property owner subsidiaries are responsible for all operating expenses of any vacant properties, and the property owner subsidiaries may be responsible for a significant amount of operating expenses of multi-tenant properties. Ground Leases. Certain of the properties in which we have an interest are subject to long-term ground leases where either the tenant of the building on the property or a third party owns and leases the underlying land to the property owner subsidiary. Certain of these properties are economically owned through the holding of industrial revenue bonds primarily for real estate tax abatement purposes and as such, neither ground lease payments nor bond interest payments are made or received, respectively. For certain of the properties held under a ground lease, the ground lessee has a purchase option. At the end of these long-term ground leases, unless extended or the purchase option exercised, the land together with all improvements thereon reverts to the landowner. In addition, we have an interest in one property in which a portion of the land, on which a portion of the parking lot is located, is subject to a ground lease. At expiration of the ground lease, only that portion of the parking lot reverts to the landowner. Leverage. As of December 31, 2011, we had interests in properties subject to outstanding mortgages and notes payable and corporate level debt of approximately $1.7 billion with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.8%. 23 LEXINGTON CONSOLIDATED PORTFOLIO PROPERTY CHART OFFICE As of December 31, 2011 Property Location City State Primary Tenant (Guarantor) Entergy Arkansas, Inc.

Legal Proceedings From time to time we are directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but might be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. See note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 for information on certain legal proceedings. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 36 PART II. Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters And Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information. Our common shares are listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “LXP”. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices as reported by the NYSE for our common shares for each of the periods indicated below: For the Quarters Ended: December 31, 2011 September 30, 2011 June 30, 2011 March 31, 2011 December 31, 2010 September 30, 2010 June 30, 2010 March 31, 2010 High Low $ $ 8.18 9.70 10.14 9.65 8.96 7.47 7.76 7.22 5.72 6.17 8.31 7.80 7.15 5.39 5.30 5.17 The per common share closing price on the NYSE was $8.49 on February 23, 2012. Holders. As of February 23, 2012, we had approximately 3,833 common shareholders of record. Dividends. Since our predecessor's formation in 1993, we have made quarterly distributions without interruption. The common share dividends paid in each quarter for the last five years are as follows: Quarters Ended March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31, 2011 2010 $ $ $ $ 0.115 0.115 0.115 0.115 $ $ $ $ 0.10 0.10 0.10 0.10 $ $ $ $ 2009 0.18 0.18 0.18 0.18 $ $ $ $ (1) (1) (1) 2008 2007 2.475 0.330 0.330 0.330 $ $ $ $ 0.5975 0.3750 0.3750 0.3750 _________________________ (1) Aggregate dividend paid 90% in our common shares and 10% in cash. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we declared a special dividend of $2.10 per common share which was paid in January 2008. During the fourth quarter 2006, we declared a special dividend of $0.2325 per common share which was paid in January 2007. During 2009, we issued an aggregate 13,304,198 common shares in lieu of cash payments of common share dividends during the quarters ended June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2009 in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2008-68. On November 1, 2011 the quarterly dividend per common share was increased to $0.125, which was paid in January 2012 to common shareholders of record as of December 30, 2011. While we intend to continue paying regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common shares, the authorization of future dividend declarations will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends will be affected by a number of factors, including, among others, the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report. We do not believe that the financial covenants contained in our loan agreements will have any adverse impact on our ability to pay dividends in the normal course of business to our common and preferred shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT. 37 We maintain a direct share purchase plan, which has two components, (i) a dividend reinvestment component and (ii) a direct share purchase component. Under the dividend reinvestment component, common shareholders and holders of OP units may elect to automatically reinvest their dividends and distributions to purchase our common shares free of commissions and other charges. We currently offer a 5.0% discount on the common shares purchased under the plan. We may, from time to time, either repurchase common shares in the open market, or issue new common shares, for the purpose of fulfilling our obligations under the dividend reinvestment program. Currently all of the common shares issued under this program are new common shares issued by us. Under the direct share purchase component, our current investors and new investors can make optional cash purchases of our common shares directly from us. In 2011 and 2010, we issued approximately 1.1 million and 1.3 million common shares, respectively, under the plan, raising net proceeds of $8.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Equity Compensation Plan Information. The following table sets forth certain information, as of December 31, 2011, with respect to our 2011 Equity-Based Award Plan under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance as compensation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations In this discussion, we have included statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our control. These statements may relate to our future plans and objectives, among other things. By identifying these statements for you in this manner, we are alerting you to the possibility that our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those discussed above in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report and “Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward Looking Statements” in Part I, of this Annual Report. Table of Contents Overview Liquidity Capital Resources Results of Operations Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Contractual Obligations Overview Page 40 45 49 50 51 53 General. We are a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust formed under the laws of the State of Maryland. We operate primarily in one segment, net-leased real estate assets, and our primary business is the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of single-tenanted office, industrial and retail properties, including build-to-suit transactions. As of December 31, 2011, we had ownership interests in approximately 185 consolidated real estate properties, located in 39 states and encompassing approximately 36.0 million square feet. A majority of these properties are subject to triple net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs and/or cost increases for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. Our revenues and cash flows are generated predominantly from property rent receipts. As a result, growth in revenues and cash flows is directly correlated to our ability to (1) acquire income producing real estate assets, (2) re-lease properties that are vacant, or may become vacant, at favorable rental rates and (3) earn fee income. Although there have been signs of recovery in the overall economy, our business continues to be impacted in a number of ways by the uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets, including (1) a need to preserve capital, generate additional liquidity and improve our overall financial flexibility, (2) our ability to find attractive financing, (3) challenges in acquiring suitable property investments and (4) tenant uncertainty with respect to future space needs. Since 2010, we have seen an increase in acquisition opportunities. In 2011 and 2010, we acquired and/or engaged in build-to-suit projects encompassing an aggregate 3.3 million square feet. Since 2010, we have seen a slight strengthening in the availability of capital; however, it is difficult for us to predict when the economy will fully recover. In an effort to diversify, we invest across the United States in properties leased to tenants in various industries, including finance/ insurance, automotive, energy, technology and consumer products. However, industry declines, to the extent we have concentration, and general economic declines could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. In addition to corporate level borrowings, none of which matures in 2012 or 2013 as of the date of filing this Annual Report, we have consolidated property specific non-recourse mortgage debt with an aggregate of $147.9 million and $234.9 million in balloon payments that are to be paid in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Business Strategy. Our current business strategy is focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet and improving our long-term growth prospectus. See “Business” in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report for a detailed description of our current business strategy. We believe a positive impact is resulting from our business strategy. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we reduced our overall consolidated indebtedness by $119.3 million, $300.3 million and $305.6 million, respectively, primarily (1) by repurchasing our 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes and (2) through the sale, transfer or other disposition of properties to third parties and lenders. We expect our business strategy will enable us to continue to improve our liquidity and strengthen our overall balance sheet. We believe liquidity and a strong balance sheet will allow us to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise, which will create meaningful shareholder value. 40 Investment Trends. Making investments in income producing single-tenant real estate assets is one of our primary focuses. The challenge we face is finding investments that will provide an attractive return without compromising our real estate underwriting criteria. We believe we have access to acquisition opportunities due to our relationships with developers, brokers, corporate users and sellers. When we acquire real estate assets, we look for general purpose office and industrial real estate assets subject to a long- term net lease which have one or more of the following characteristics (1) a credit-worthy tenant, (2) adaptability to a variety of users, including multi-tenant use and (3) an attractive geographic location. During 2009 and 2008, acquisition activity decreased as we focused on retiring senior debt and preferred securities. In response to the compression in capitalization rates, we refocused our efforts into (1) repurchasing our senior debt at what we believe were attractive and secure yields to maturity and (2) disposing of real estate assets in compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, we began to see an increase in our acquisition activity as evidenced by the acquisition of an office property in Greenville, South Carolina. Our acquisition volume for 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of build-to-suit transactions whereby we (1) engage in build-to- suit transactions, or (2) provide capital to developers who are engaged in, build-to-suit transactions and/or (3) commit to purchase the property from developers upon completion. We believe these arrangements offer developers and/or tenants access to capital while simultaneously providing us with attractive risk-adjusted projected yields. We generally mitigate our cost exposure by requiring purchase agreements, development agreements and/or loan agreements to specify a maximum price and/or loan commitment amount prior to execution of the agreement. Cost overruns are generally the responsibility of the developer, or in some cases the prospective tenant. We believe we perform stringent underwriting procedures to ensure that our investments are not subject to compromise such as, among other items, (1) requiring payment and performance bonds and/or completion guarantees from developers and/or contractors; (2) engaging third-party construction managers and/or engineers to monitor construction progress and quality; (3) only hiring developers with a proven history of performance; (4) requiring developers to provide financial statements and in some cases personal guarantees from principals; (5) acquiring detailed plans and constructions budgets; (6) requiring a long-term tenant lease to be executed prior to funding; and (7) leveling liens on the property to the extent of construction funding.

During the first quarter of 2011, through a lender subsidiary, we loaned $3.0 million to the buyer in connection with the sale of a vacant industrial property for $3.7 million. The loan is secured by the property, bears interest at 7.8% and matures in January 2013. In 2011, we, through a lender subsidiary, made a $10.0 million mezzanine loan secured by a 100% pledge of all equity interests in the entities which own two, to-be-constructed distribution facilities. The loan was scheduled to mature in June 2013 and had an interest rate of 15.0% for the first year and 18.5% for the second year. The loan was fully satisfied in November 2011 for a payment of $11.5 million which included accrued interest and yield maintenance. During 2011 and 2010, through a lender subsidiary, we made a 15% mortgage loan on an office building in Schaumburg, Illinois, which matured in January 2012 but could have been extended one additional year by the borrower for a 50 basis point fee. The mortgage loan had an outstanding balance of $21.5 million at December 31, 2011. The property is leased through December 31, 2022 for an average annual rent of $4.0 million. Our lender subsidiary may be obligated to fund an additional $12.2 million for tenant improvement costs. The borrower is currently in default. We believe the office building has an estimated fair value in excess of our investment and we have initiated foreclosure proceedings. One of our lender subsidiaries also made a $17.0 million loan secured by a combination of limited partner interests in entities that owned, and second mortgage liens or mortgage liens against, five medical facilities. This loan was guaranteed by a parent entity and principal and initially matured in December 2011 and required payments of interest only at a rate of 14% through February 2011 and 16% thereafter. The borrower prepaid an aggregate $7.5 million in December 2010 and February 2011 in connection with the sale of certain collateral, and repaid the remaining $9.5 million in December 2011. Despite the current economic uncertainty, we have seen an increase in our acquisition pipeline, mostly consisting of build-to- suit transactions. We have several commitments and letters of intent for future acquisitions as of the first quarter of 2012, and we anticipate continued acquisition activity for 2012. However, we can provide no assurances that any of these transactions will be consummated. Leasing Trends. Re-leasing properties that are currently vacant or as leases expire at favorable effective rates is one of our primary asset management focuses. The primary risks associated with re-tenanting properties are (1) the period of time required to find a new tenant, (2) whether rental rates will be lower than previously received, (3) the significance of leasing costs such as commissions and tenant improvement allowances and (4) the payment of capital expenditures and operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance with no offsetting revenue. Our property owner subsidiaries try to mitigate these risks by (1) staying in close contact with our tenants during the lease term in order to assess their current and future occupancy needs, (2) maintaining relationships with local brokers to determine the depth of the rental market and (3) retaining local expertise to assist in the re-tenanting of a property. However, no assurance can be given that once a property becomes vacant it will subsequently be re-let. Generally, a tenant in a single-tenant office property commences lease extension discussions well in advance of lease expiration. If the lease has a year or less remaining until expiration, there is a high likelihood that the tenant will not extend the lease. If a property cannot be re-let to a single user and the property can be adapted to multi-tenant use, our property owner subsidiary determines whether the costs of adapting the property to multi-tenant use outweigh the benefit of funding operating costs while searching for a single-tenant. Certain of the long-term leases on properties in which we have an ownership interest contain provisions that may mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our operating results. Such provisions include clauses entitling our property owner subsidiaries to receive (1) scheduled fixed base rent increases and (2) base rent increases based upon the consumer price index. In addition, a majority of the leases on the single-tenant properties in which we have an ownership interest require tenants to pay operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses. In addition, the leases on single-tenant properties in which we have an ownership interest are generally structured in a way that minimizes responsibility for capital improvements. Since 2008, tenants have been more aggressive in lease and lease renewal negotiations with respect to rental rate, tenant improvement allowances and landlord responsibilities. As a result, the obligations of our property owner subsidiaries on new leases and newly renewed or extended leases have generally increased. 42 We continue to monitor the credit of tenants of properties in which we have an interest. Under current bankruptcy law, a tenant can generally assume or reject a lease within a certain number of days of filing its bankruptcy petition. If a tenant rejects the lease, a landlord's damages are generally limited to the greater of (1) one year's rent and (2) the rent for 15%, of the remaining term of the lease not to exceed three years rent. During 2009, due to economic conditions, three of our property owner subsidiaries each conveyed a property to its lender and/ or to a bankruptcy estate as a result of the single-tenant vacating its property and there being no viable leasing prospects. Although there were no such conveyances during 2011 and 2010, one of our property owner subsidiaries conveyed a vacant property in Tulsa, Oklahoma to its lender in January 2012. Our property owner subsidiaries may convey properties to lenders or the property owner subsidiary may declare bankruptcy in the future if a property owner subsidiary is unable to refinance, re-let or sell its vacated property or if a tenant renews at a lower rent or a new tenant pays a lower rent. Impairment charges. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we incurred impairment charges on our assets, of $117.4 million, $56.9 million and $175.9 million, respectively, due primarily to a deterioration in economic conditions since the acquisition of such assets. Impairments on real estate assets in discontinued operations were $48.9 million, $50.1 million and $99.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as the assets were ultimately sold or foreclosed upon below their carrying value. The assets that were sold were generally non-core or non-performing assets. We used the net proceeds from these sales to primarily deleverage our balance sheet. In addition, we incurred $68.6 million and $3.0 million of impairment charges on real estate assets classified in continuing operations in 2011 and 2010, respectively. These real estate assets were primarily non-core assets including retail properties, under performing and multi-tenant properties acquired in the Newkirk Merger. In 2011, we recognized a $1.6 million other-than-temporary impairment charge on a non-consolidated investment acquired in the Newkirk Merger due to a change in our estimate of net proceeds upon liquidation of the joint venture. We recognized other-than- temporary impairments on two of our investments in non-consolidated entities in 2009 of $74.7 million, consisting of Lex-Win Concord and another joint venture. Concord experienced declines in the fair value of its loan securities consistent with liquidity concerns impacting the commercial bond and real estate markets and the overall economy beginning in 2008. Concord recorded significant other-than-temporary impairment charges during 2009 and 2008. As a result of these charges and other factors, we recorded other-than-temporary impairments of $68.2 million on our investment in Lex-Win Concord during 2009, reducing the carrying value of our investment to zero. In addition, during 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $6.5 million on our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture acquired in the Newkirk Merger due to the expiration of the net-lease on the hotel asset owned by the joint venture. We subsequently sold our interest in this joint venture for a nominal amount to another partner in the joint venture. We incurred loan losses on our loans receivable during 2010 and 2009. During 2010, we recorded a $3.8 million loan loss on a loan receivable as the tenant supporting the collateral declared bankruptcy and announced liquidation proceedings. During the first quarter of 2009, we agreed to the discounted payoffs of two loans receivable with an aggregate carrying value of $5.0 million. During 2009, we wrote the loans receivable down to the aggregate agreed upon discounted payoff amount of $3.9 million, which approximated fair value, and recognized a loan loss reserve of $1.1 million. In addition, investments in debt securities were sold for $9.5 million during 2009 and we realized a loss of $0.5 million. The proceeds from these transactions were used to reduce corporate level debt. Given the continued uncertainty in general economic conditions, we cannot estimate if we will incur, or the amount of, future impairment charges on our assets. See Part I, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report. Critical Accounting Policies. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require our management to make estimates that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities reported. A summary of our significant accounting policies which are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations is set forth in note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 65 of this Annual Report and incorporated herein. The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies, which require some of management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries. We consolidate our wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which we control through (1) voting rights or similar rights or (2) by means other than voting rights if we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which we refer to as a VIE. Entities which we do not control and entities which are VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary are generally accounted for by the equity method. Significant judgments and assumptions are made by us to determine whether an entity is a VIE such as those regarding an entity's equity at risk, the entity's equity holders' obligations to absorb anticipated losses and other factors. In addition, the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires judgment to determine the party that has (1) power over the significant activities of the VIE and (2) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. 43 Judgments and Estimates. Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on our management's best estimates and judgment. Our management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Our management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and entities that should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, valuation and impairment of assets held by equity method investees, valuation of derivative financial instruments and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Purchase Accounting and Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments for assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below- market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building and improvements based on our management's determination of relative fair values of these assets. Factors considered by our management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, our management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Our management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below- market lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and management's estimate of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the non-cancelable periods and bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases. The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationship values, is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods and any bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationships is amortized to expense over the applicable lease term plus expected renewal periods. Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. We evaluate loans receivable where we participate in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether we have the same risks and rewards as an owner or joint venture partner. This evaluation takes significant judgment. Where we conclude that such arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, we record such loans receivable as an equity investment in real estate under construction. Revenue Recognition. We recognize lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Renewal options in leases with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight line rent if the renewals are not reasonably assured. In those instances in which we fund tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by us, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. When we determine that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, we commence revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Determining if a tenant allowance is a lease incentive requires significant judgment. We recognize lease termination payments as a component of rental revenue in the period received, provided that there are no further obligations under the lease; otherwise the lease termination payment is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period. All above-market lease assets, below- market lease liabilities and deferred rent assets or liabilities for terminated leases are charged against or credited to rental revenue in the period the lease is terminated. All other capitalized lease costs and lease intangibles are accelerated via amortization expense to the date of termination. 44 Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based on the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent we sell a property and retain a partial ownership interest in the property, we recognize gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest. Accounts Receivable. We continuously monitor collections from our tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that we have identified. Impairment of Real Estate. We evaluate the carrying value of all tangible and intangible real estate assets for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates its carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset. If such cash flows are less than the asset's carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset's carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. Impairment of Equity Method Investments. We assess whether there are indicators that the value of our equity method investments may be impaired. An investment's value is impaired if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is highly subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about our intent and ability to recover our investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment, including the level of our involvement therein, among other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated value of the investment. Loans Receivable. We evaluate the collectability of both interest and principal of each of our loans, if circumstances warrant, to determine whether the loan is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired, when based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Significant judgments are required in determining whether impairment has occurred. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable current market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. Fair Value Measurements. We follow the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which we refer to as ASC, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which we refer to as Topic 820, to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial investments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk, where applicable, in our assessment of fair value. The accounting for these critical accounting policies and implementation of accounting guidance issued in the future involves the making of estimates based on current facts, circumstances and assumptions which could change in a manner that would materially affect management's future estimates with respect to such matters. Accordingly, future reported financial conditions and results could differ materially from financial conditions and results reported based on management's current estimates. Liquidity General. Since becoming a public company, our principal sources of liquidity have been (1) undistributed cash flows generated from our investments, (2) the public and private equity and debt markets, including issuances of OP units, (3) property specific debt, (4) corporate level borrowings, (5) commitments from co-investment partners and (6) proceeds from the sales of our investments. Our ability to incur additional debt to fund acquisitions is dependent upon our existing leverage, the value of the assets we are attempting to leverage and general economic and credit market conditions, which may be outside of management's control or influence. 45 Cash Flows. We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, we anticipate that cash on hand, borrowings under our secured term loan and secured revolving credit facility, and our other principal sources of liquidity, will be available to provide the necessary capital required to fund our operations and allow us to grow. Cash flows from operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows totaled $180.1 million for 2011, $164.8 million for 2010 and $159.3 million for 2009. The underlying drivers that impact working capital and therefore cash flows from operations are the timing of (1) the collection of rents and tenant reimbursements, loan interest payments from borrowers, and advisory fees, and (2) the payment of interest on mortgage debt and operating and general and administrative costs. We believe the net-lease structure of the leases encumbering a majority of the properties in which we have an interest enhances cash flows from operations since the payment and timing of operating costs related to the properties are generally borne directly by the tenant. Collection and timing of tenant rents is closely monitored by management as part of our cash management program. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled $(24.8) million in 2011, $(24.8) million in 2010 and $112.0 million in 2009. Cash provided by investing activities related primarily to proceeds from the sale of properties, collection of loans receivable, distributions from non-consolidated entities in excess of accumulated earnings, proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities and changes in escrow deposits and restricted cash. Cash used in investing activities related primarily to investments in real estate properties, co-investment programs, loans receivable, an increase in deferred leasing costs, deposits and restricted cash. Therefore, the fluctuation in investing activities relates primarily to the timing of investments and dispositions. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $144.3 million in 2011, $141.2 million in 2010 and $285.2 million in 2009. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds from the issuance of common shares, net, exercise of employee common share options, contributions from noncontrolling interests, non-recourse mortgages and corporate borrowings, offset by dividend and distribution payments, net, repurchases of equity interests, forward equity commitment payments, net, an increase in deferred financing costs and debt payments and repurchases. Public and Private Equity and Debt Markets. We access the public and private equity and debt markets when we (1) believe conditions are favorable and (2) have a compelling use of proceeds. During 2011 and 2010, we issued approximately 10.0 million and 22.4 million common shares, respectively, raising net proceeds of approximately $90.5 million and $157.8 million, respectively, in public common share offerings. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we issued approximately 1.1 million, 1.3 million and 4.3 million common shares under our direct share purchase plan raising net proceeds of approximately $8.4 million, $8.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. We primarily used these proceeds to retire indebtedness. During 2007, we issued an aggregate $450.0 million of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes due in 2027. Since 2008, we repurchased and retired $387.9 million original principal amount of the notes for $296.0 million in cash and 1.6 million common shares having a value at issuance of $23.5 million (or $14.50 per share). The remaining notes were repurchased by us and retired in January 2012 pursuant to a holder repurchase option. During 2010, we issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require us to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve our REIT status. Thereafter, we may redeem the notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal of the notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the notes have a conversion rate of 142.6917 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $7.01 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at our election. During 2011, we repurchased and retired approximately 0.4 million Series B Preferred Shares and approximately 0.1 million Series C Preferred Shares at a discount to the respective liquidation preferences. During 2009, we converted approximately 0.5 million shares of our Series C Preferred Shares by issuing 3.0 million common shares. During 2008, we entered into a forward equity commitment to purchase 3.5 million of our common shares at a price of $5.60 per share. We prepaid $15.6 million of the $19.6 million purchase price during 2008 and 2009, agreed to make floating payments during the term of the forward purchase at LIBOR plus 250 basis points per annum and we retained all cash dividend payments. We settled the commitment in October 2011 for a cash payment of approximately $4.0 million and retired approximately 4.0 million common shares. 46 We may access these markets in the future to implement our business strategy including capital to fund future growth. However, the continued general economic uncertainty and the volatility in these markets makes accessing these market challenging. UPREIT Structure. Our UPREIT structure permits us to effect acquisitions by issuing OP units to a property owner as a form of consideration in exchange for the property. Substantially all outstanding OP units are redeemable by the holder at certain times on a one OP unit for approximately 1.13 common shares or, at our election, with respect to certain OP units, cash. Substantially all outstanding OP units require us to pay quarterly distributions to the holders of such OP units equal to the dividends paid to our common shareholders on an as redeemed basis and the remaining OP units have stated distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreement. To the extent that our dividend per share is less than a stated distribution per unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the stated distributions per unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in our dividend. We are party to a funding agreements with our operating partnerships under which we may be required to fund distributions made on account of OP units. No OP units have a liquidation preference. The number of common shares that will be outstanding in the future should be expected to increase, and income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests should be expected to decrease (increase), as such OP units are redeemed for our common shares. As of December 31, 2011, there was a total of approximately 4.0 million OP units outstanding other than OP units held by us. Of this total, approximately 1.5 million are held by related parties. As a result of the general deterioration in real estate values since 2008, few sellers of real estate are seeking OP units as a form of consideration. Property Specific Debt. As of December 31, 2011, our property owner subsidiaries have related balloon payments of $147.9 million and $234.9 million to be paid during 2012 and 2013, respectively. With respect to mortgages encumbering properties where the expected lease rental revenues are sufficient to provide an estimated property value in excess of the mortgage balance, we believe our property owner subsidiaries have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet these obligations through future cash flow from operations, the credit markets and, if determined appropriate by us, a capital contribution from us from either cash on hand ($63.7 million at December 31, 2011), borrowing capacity on our new secured term loan (currently $107.0 million) and our new secured revolving credit facility (currently $205.8 million). In the event that the estimated property value is less than the mortgage balance, the mortgages encumbering the properties in which we have an interest are generally non-recourse to us and the property owner subsidiaries, such that a property owner subsidiary may, if appropriate, satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the property to the lender or permitting a lender to foreclose. We expect to continue to use property specific, non-recourse mortgages as we believe that by properly matching a debt obligation, including the balloon maturity risk, with the terms of a lease, our cash-on-cash returns increase and the exposure to residual valuation risk is reduced. However, the current economic environment has impacted the ability of our property owner subsidiaries to obtain property specific debt on favorable terms. In 2008, property specific mortgage lending nearly ceased. Since then, the number of lenders and available loan proceeds have diminished significantly. In addition, the required loan to value ratios have decreased and the covenants, including required reserve amounts, have increased. In 2011, a property owner subsidiary, obtained a five-year, $15.0 million, 4.71% interest-only, non-recourse mortgage loan on an industrial property in Byhalia, Mississippi. During 2010, (1) one of our property owner subsidiaries obtained an $11.3 million, 3.56% fully amortizing, approximate nine-year, non-recourse mortgage loan on its North Berwick, Maine property and (2) another one of our property owner subsidiaries obtained a $9.0 million, 5.5% interest only, non-recourse mortgage loan on its Greenville South Carolina property, which matures in January 2015. In addition, one of our property owner subsidiaries obtained a $37.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan on its Salt Lake City, Utah property. The property was subsequently sold, and the loan was assumed by the buyer. In August 2009, one of our property owner subsidiaries refinanced a $13.2 million, 8.19% non-recourse mortgage loan on a property in Fishers, Indiana which was scheduled to mature in April 2010, with an $11.5 million, 6.375% non-recourse mortgage loan which matures in August 2014. During 2011, a property owner subsidiary, suspended debt service payments on a vacant office property in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The property was conveyed to the lender in January 2012. 47 During 2009, one of our property owner subsidiaries suspended debt service payments on the mortgage encumbering its property leased to Circuit City Stores, Inc. in Richmond, Virginia following the lease being rejected in the tenant's bankruptcy and subsequent vacancy. The non-recourse loan had a balance of $15.5 million at that time. The property was conveyed to the lender in a foreclosure sale during the third quarter of 2009. During 2009, one of our property owner subsidiaries suspended debt service payments on a vacant property in Plymouth, Michigan which had an outstanding mortgage balance of $4.3 million. The property was conveyed through a foreclosure sale to the lender in December 2009. In addition, one of our property owner subsidiaries did not make an $18.2 million balloon payment on a property in Houston, Texas which was due in October 2009. The property owner subsidiary declared bankruptcy in December 2009 and the property and related debt were assumed by the bankruptcy estate. There are significant risks associated with conveying properties to lenders through foreclosure which are described in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report. Corporate Borrowings. In January 2012, we procured a $215.0 million secured term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent. The secured term loan matures in January 2019. The secured term loan requires regular payments of interest only at an interest rate dependent on our leverage ratio, as defined, as follows: 2.00% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is less than 45%, 2.25% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.45% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 50% and 55%, and 2.85% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio exceeds 55%. Upon the date when we obtain an investment grade debt rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the secured term loan will be dependent on our debt rating. We may not prepay any outstanding borrowings under the secured term loan facility through January 12, 2013, but may prepay outstanding borrowings anytime thereafter, however at a premium for the next three years. Effective February 1, 2012, we entered into an interest-rate swap agreement to fix LIBOR at 1.512% on $108.0 million of borrowings under the secured term loan for seven years. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, $108.0 million was outstanding and we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the secured term loan agreement. In addition, in January 2012, we refinanced our secured $300.0 million revolving credit facility procured in January 2011 with KeyBank, as agent, with a $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The new secured revolving facility bears interest at 1.625% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio, as defined, is less than 45%, 1.875% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.125% plus LIBOR if our leverage ratio is between 50% and 55% and 2.375% plus LIBOR if the leverage ratio exceeds 55%. The new secured revolving credit facility matures in January 2015, but can be extended to January 2016 at our option. With the consent of the lenders, we can increase the size of the secured revolving credit facility by $225.0 million, for a total facility size of $525.0 million by adding properties to the borrowing base and admitting additional lenders. The new revolving credit facility and new term loan are secured by ownership interest pledges and guarantees by certain of our subsidiaries that own interests in a borrowing base of properties. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, $28.0 million was outstanding on the new secured revolving credit facility and we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the secured revolving credit facility agreement. In March 2008, we obtained $25.0 million and $45.0 million original principal amount secured term loans from KeyBank. The loans were scheduled to mature in 2013 and required payments of interest only at LIBOR plus 60 basis points; however, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which fixed the interest rate at 5.52%. As of December 31, 2011, $25.0 million and $35.6 million were respectively outstanding on this secured term loan and we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in each loan document. The loans and interest rate swap were fully satisfied in January 2012 with proceeds from the new secured term loan and the new secured revolving credit facility discussed above. During 2007, we issued $200.0 million in Trust Preferred Securities, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.804% through April 2017 and thereafter at a variable rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points through maturity. These securities are (1) classified as debt, (2) due in 2037 and (3) redeemable by us commencing April 2012. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there are $129.1 million outstanding. While property specific mortgages have become harder to obtain, corporate level borrowings have generally been available and we expect this to continue to be the case in the near future. Co-investment Programs. We believe that entering into co-investment programs and joint ventures with institutional investors and other real estate companies is a good way to access private capital while mitigating our risk in certain assets and increasing our return on equity to the extent we earn management or other fees. However, investments in co-investment programs and joint ventures limit our ability to make investment decisions unilaterally relating to the assets and limit our ability to deploy capital. If we continue to grow, we expect to enter into co-investment programs and joint ventures primarily with respect to assets that we ordinarily would not have invested in. 48 Capital Recycling. Part of our strategy to effectively manage our balance sheet involves pursuing and executing well on property dispositions and recycling of capital. During 2011, we monetized 17 properties for a gross price of $160.1 million. These proceeds were used to retire indebtedness encumbering properties in which we have an interest and make investments. Liquidity Needs. Our principal liquidity needs are the contractual obligations set forth under the heading “Contractual Obligations,” below, and the payment of dividends to our shareholders and distributions to the holders of OP units. As of December 31, 2011, we and our property owner subsidiaries, in the aggregate, had approximately $1.7 billion of indebtedness, consisting of mortgages and notes payable outstanding, 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes, 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes (repurchased subsequent to year end pursuant to a holder option) and Trust Preferred Securities, with a weighted- average interest rate of approximately 5.8%. The ability of a property owner subsidiary to make debt service payments depends upon the rental revenues of its property and its ability to refinance the mortgage related thereto, sell the related property, or access capital from us or other sources. A property owner subsidiary's ability to accomplish such goals will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the real estate industry, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt at the time, its equity in the mortgaged property, the financial condition and the operating history of the mortgaged property, the then current tax laws and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. If we are unable to satisfy our contractual obligations and other operating costs with our cash flow from operations, we intend to use borrowings under our new secured term loan and secured revolving credit facility and proceeds from issuances of equity or debt securities. If a property owner subsidiary is unable to satisfy its contractual obligations and other operating costs, it may default on its obligations and lose its assets in foreclosure or through bankruptcy proceedings. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our net taxable income that is currently distributed to shareholders. In connection with our intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we expect to continue paying regular dividends to our shareholders. These dividends are expected to be paid from operating cash flows and/or from other sources. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investments, we generally intend to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio or we may issue common shares in lieu of cash dividends if permitted under the Code, reserving such amounts as we consider necessary for the maintenance or expansion of properties in our portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees considers appropriate. We paid approximately $94.9 million in cash dividends to our common and preferred shareholders in 2011. Although our property owner subsidiaries receive the majority of our base rental payments on a monthly basis, we intend to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution are invested by us in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. Capital Resources General. Due to the net-lease structure, our property owner subsidiaries historically have not incurred significant expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties in which we have an interest. However, particularly since 2008, as leases have expired, our property owner subsidiaries have incurred costs in extending the existing tenant leases, re-tenanting the properties with a single-tenant, or converting the property to multi-tenant use. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly depending on tenant negotiations, market conditions and rental rates. Single-Tenant Properties. We do not anticipate significant capital expenditures at the properties in which we have an interest that are subject to net leases since the tenants at these properties generally bear all or substantially all of the cost of property operations, maintenance and repairs. However, at certain properties subject to net leases, our property owner subsidiaries are responsible for replacement and/or repair of certain capital items. At certain single-tenant properties that are not subject to a net lease, our property owner subsidiaries have a level of property operating expense responsibility. Multi-Tenant Properties. Primarily as a result of non-renewals at single-tenant net-lease properties, we have interests in multi- tenant properties in our consolidated portfolio. While tenants are generally responsible for increases over base year expenses, our property owner subsidiaries are responsible for the base-year expenses and capital expenditures at these properties. 49 Vacant Properties. To the extent there is a vacancy in a property, our property owner subsidiary would be obligated for all operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. If a property is vacant for an extended period of time, our property owner subsidiary may incur substantial capital expenditure costs to re-tenant the property. Property Expansions. Under certain leases, tenants have the right to expand the facility located on a property in which we have an interest. In the past our property owner subsidiary has generally funded, and in the future our property owner subsidiary intends to generally fund, these property expansions with additional secured borrowings, the repayment of which was, and will be, funded out of rental increases under the leases covering the expanded properties. Ground Leases. The tenants of properties in which we have an interest generally pay the rental obligations on ground leases either directly to the fee holder or to our property owner subsidiary as increased rent. However, our property owner subsidiaries are responsible for these payments under certain leases and at vacant properties. Environmental Matters. Based upon management's ongoing review of the properties in which we have an interest, management is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of these properties, which would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that (1) the discovery of environmental conditions, which were previously unknown, (2) changes in law, (3) the conduct of tenants or (4) activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the properties in which we have an interest, will not expose us to material liability in the future. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the tenants of properties in which we have an interest. Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2011 compared with December 31, 2010. The increase in total gross revenues in 2011 of $6.9 million is attributable to a $5.8 million increase in rental revenue and a $0.2 million increase in tenant reimbursements due to an increase in acquisitions and leasing activity and an increase of $0.9 million in advisory and incentive fees relating to third-party managed account return hurdles being met. The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $11.4 million is primarily due to a decrease in indebtedness. Depreciation and amortization increased $7.9 million primarily due to the acquisition of real estate properties and the acceleration of amortization on certain lease intangible assets due to tenant lease terminations. Non-operating income increased $1.3 million primarily due to interest earned on investments made during 2011 and 2010. The change in value of our forward equity commitment of $6.9 million was primarily due to the period change in the per share price of our common shares. The increase in impairment charges and loan losses was $61.7 million. In 2011, we recognized $68.6 million of impairment charges on non-core properties, including certain retail, underperforming and multi-tenant properties. We explored the possible disposition of these properties and determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were below the properties carrying value. During 2010, we recognized a loan loss of $3.8 million on a loan receivable as the tenant supporting the collateral declared bankruptcy and announced liquidation proceedings. In addition, we recognized a $3.0 million impairment charge in 2010 on a property due to operational considerations with respect to the property and a $0.1 million other-than-temporary impairment on a bond investment. The change in the benefit (provision) for income taxes of $2.4 million was primarily the result of the write-off of a deferred tax liability relating to the transfer of certain assets from our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary to the REIT itself in 2011. The increase in equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated entities of $8.6 million is primarily due to $2.2 million earned from our investment in LW Sofi LLC, $1.3 million earned on a new non-consolidated entity, Pemlex LLC, prior to consolidation and cash distributions of $4.0 million received from our investments in Concord related entities. Discontinued operations represents properties sold or held for sale. The total loss from discontinued operations increased $7.2 million due to a decrease in gains on sale of properties of $8.1 million and an increase in debt satisfaction charges, net of $3.5 million, offset by a decrease in impairment charges of $1.2 million and an increase in income from discontinued operations of $3.3 million. 50 Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $5.7 million primarily due to an increase in impairment charges incurred on noncontrolling interest properties. Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased $45.6 million primarily due to the items discussed above. The increase in net income or decrease in net loss in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by us. Without acquisitions, the sources of growth in net income are limited to index adjusted rents (such as the consumer price index), reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and variable rate indebtedness and by controlling other variable overhead costs. However, there are many factors beyond management's control that could offset these items including, without limitation, increased interest rates and tenant monetary defaults and the other risks described in this Annual Report. Year ended December 31, 2010 compared with December 31, 2009. Of the decrease in total gross revenues in 2010 of $10.6 million, $7.9 million is attributable to a decrease in rental revenue and a $1.9 million decrease in tenant reimbursements due to an increase in vacancy in certain properties during the year ended December 31, 2010 and a decrease in advisory and incentive fees of $0.7 million. The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $3.8 million is due to the decrease in indebtedness. The decrease in property operating expense of $2.9 million is primarily due to a decrease in the operating expenses at certain multi-tenant properties which had an increase in vacancy resulting in lower costs, and certain tenants taking direct responsibility for payments of operating costs in which our property owner subsidiaries have an interest. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.9 million is due primarily to a reduction in professional and service fees, reduced spending on technology and reduced corporate depreciation, offset by higher personnel costs primarily due to accelerated amortization of common share option costs. Non-operating income increased $3.9 million which is primarily due to investments made in 2010. Debt satisfaction gains, net decreased $16.8 million due to the volume, timing and pricing of the repurchase of our 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes. The increase in the change in value of our forward equity commitment of $1.7 million was primarily due to the period change in the per share price of our common shares. The increase in impairment charges and loan losses of $5.3 million is primarily due to an increase of $2.3 million in loan losses recognized by lender subsidiaries and a $3.0 million impairment charge on a retail property. The increase in income of non-consolidated entities of $144.9 million is primarily due to impairment losses recognized on our investment in Lex-Win Concord in 2009. Discontinued operations represents properties sold or held for sale. The total discontinued operations loss decreased $48.3 million due to a decrease in impairment charges of $49.5 million, an increase in gains on sales of properties of $5.5 million and a decrease in the loss from discontinued operations of $1.8 million, offset by a decrease in debt satisfaction gains, net of $8.5 million. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $3.3 million primarily due to an increase in impairment charges incurred on noncontrolling interest properties. Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased $184.8 million primarily due to the items discussed above and an increase in preferred dividends of $7.0 million primarily due to the conversion of certain of our Series C Preferred Shares in 2009. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements General. As of December 31, 2011, we had investments in various real estate entities with varying structures. The real estate investments owned by these entities are generally financed with non-recourse debt. Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders' sole recourse with respect to borrower defaults is limited to the value of the assets collateralized by the debt. The lender generally does not have recourse against any other assets owned by the borrower or any of the members or partners of the borrower, except for certain specified exceptions listed in the particular loan documents. These exceptions generally relate to "bad boy" acts, including breaches of material representations. 51 Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. NLS is a co-investment program with Inland NLS. NLS was established to acquire single- tenant net-lease specialty real estate in the United States. Other than the acquisition of the initial 43 properties and a 40% tenant-in- common interest in a property from us in 2007 and 2008, NLS has not acquired any additional properties. The partners in NLS are currently entitled to a return on/of each of their respective capital contributions from operations as follows: (1) Inland NLS, 9% on its common equity ($220.6 million in common equity), (2) us, 10.5% return on our unpaid preferred equity allocated to properties that were previously sold or refinanced ($115.6 million in unpaid preferred equity) and 6.5% on our remaining preferred equity ($46.8 million in preferred equity), (3) us, 9% on our common equity ($38.9 million in common equity), (4) return of our preferred equity ($162.4 million in preferred equity), (5) return of Inland NLS common equity ($220.6 million in common equity), (6) return of our common equity ($38.9 million in common equity) and (7) any remaining cash flow is allocated 65% to Inland NLS and 35% to us as long as we are the general partners; if not, allocations are 85% to Inland NLS and 15% to us. In addition, the partners in NLS are currently entitled to a return on/of each of their respective capital contributions from capital events as follows: (1) return of our unpaid preferred equity allocated to properties that were previously sold or refinanced, (2) Inland NLS, to the extent of any unpaid 9% return on its common equity, (3) us, to the extent of any unpaid 10.5% and 6.5% return on our remaining preferred equity, as applicable, (4) return of our preferred equity allocation with respect to the asset(s) involved in the capital event, (5) us, to the extent of any unpaid 9% return on our common equity, (6) return of Inland NLS common equity, (7) return of our remaining preferred equity, (8) return of our common equity and (9) any remaining amount is allocated 65% to Inland NLS and 35% to us as long as we are the general partner; if not, allocations are 85% to Inland NLS and 15% to us. The NLS partnership agreement provides that (1) either limited partner can exercise the buy/sell right or the right of first offer after February 20, 2012 and (2) upon one limited partner's exercise of either right, the responding partner may not again trigger the buy/sell or the right of first offer until the termination of all procedures and timeframes pursuant to the exercising partner's chosen right. On February 20, 2012 and February 21, 2012, we delivered notices to Inland NLS exercising the buy/sell right and specifying a price of $213.0 million, at which we would purchase the assets of NLS, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement included with the notice providing for a sale of Inland NLS's interest in NLS to us. The specified price would be distributed in accordance with the capital events distribution priority set forth in the paragraph describing distributions upon capital events above. Inland NLS must then elect to either sell its interest in NLS to us or buy our interest in NLS. On February 21, 2012, Inland NLS delivered a notice to us exercising the right of first offer, which offered to sell 41 of the 43 properties in which NLS has an interest for a price of $548.7 million, including the assumption of any related debt, with closing to occur prior to August 21, 2012 and on other specified terms. If we do not elect to purchase the offered properties, Inland NLS has six months from the exercise notice to sell the properties to a bona fide third party. Upon the sale, the specified price would be distributed in accordance with the capital events distribution priority set forth in the paragraph describing distributions upon capital events above. Under both the buy/sell right and the right of first offer, the responding partner has 45 days to respond. LRA entered into a management agreement with NLS whereby LRA performs asset management services and receives (1) a management fee of 0.375% of the equity capital, as defined, (2) a property management fee of up to 3.0% of actual gross revenues from certain assets for which the landlord is obligated to provide property management services (contingent upon the recoverability of such fees from the tenant under the applicable lease), and (3) an acquisition fee of 0.5% of the gross purchase price of each acquired asset by NLS. Concord Debt Holdings LLC and CDH CDO LLC. Concord and CDH CDO are two co-investment programs with Inland Concord and Winthrop, to acquire and originate loans secured, directly and indirectly, by real estate assets. Concord initially sought to produce a stable income stream from its investments in loan assets and loan securities by managing credit risk and interest rate risk. However, the disruption in the capital and credit markets increased margin calls on Concord's repurchase agreements. Furthermore, the ability to issue CDOs and the availability of new financing has effectively been eliminated, making the execution of Concord's strategy unfeasible at this time. Concord began experiencing declines in the fair value of its loan securities in the fourth quarter of 2007 consistent with liquidity concerns impacting the commercial bond and real estate markets and the overall economy. As a result Concord has recorded significant other-than-temporary impairment charges. 52 Primarily due to (1) the continued deterioration in the value of Concord's loan and bond portfolio, (2) a margin call received by Concord and potential additional margin calls, (3) the preferred member's failure to fund a requested Concord capital call, (4) an increase in Concord borrower defaults, (5) Concord's debt covenant violations and (6) the distressed sale of assets and potential sale of assets at distressed levels to satisfy margin calls and amendments to lender agreements, we determined during the first half of 2009 that our investment in Concord had suffered a significant decrease in value and that ultimately our investment should be valued at zero. As a result, we recorded an aggregate of $68.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges during 2009. We have made no additional contributions and we recognize future income from Concord and CDH CDO on the cash basis. Our investment in these ventures is valued at zero. We are only obligated to fund capital calls for new investments to the extent of management fees we receive from Concord and CDH CDO. Contractual Obligations The following summarizes our principal contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011 ($000's): Notes payable1 Interest payable - fixed rate Operating lease obligations2 2012 $ 238,500 89,260 3,573 $ 331,333 2013 $ 320,873 72,461 3,662 $ 396,996 2014 $ 252,699 61,293 3,183 $ 317,175 2015 $ 283,767 42,264 2,982 $ 329,013 2016 $ 131,406 32,264 1,501 $ 165,171 2017 and Thereafter 446,225 $ 28,838 13,130 488,193 $ Total $ 1,673,470 326,380 28,031 $ 2,027,881 1. Includes balloon payments. Amounts shown exclude debt discounts of $48 (2012), $1,196 (2013) and $9,851 (thereafter) and exclude $5.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. 2. Includes ground lease payments and office rents. Amounts disclosed do not include rents that adjust to fair market value. In addition certain ground lease payments due under bond leases allow for a right of offset between the lease obligation and the debt service and accordingly are not included. In addition, we guarantee certain tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of certain property owner subsidiaries when required by the related tenant or lender. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our variable rate debt and fixed rate debt. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no consolidated variable rate indebtedness not subject to an interest rate swap agreement. During 2011 and 2010, our variable rate indebtedness had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Had the weighted-average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, our interest expense for 2011 and 2010 would have been increased by approximately $17 thousand and $0.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, our consolidated fixed rate debt, including discontinued operations, was approximately $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, which represented 100.0% of total long-term indebtedness. For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges between willing parties. Accordingly, we derive or estimate fair values using various valuation techniques, such as computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. However, the determination of estimated cash flows may be subjective and imprecise. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. The following fair values were determined using the interest rates that we believe our outstanding fixed rate debt would warrant as of December 31, 2011 and are indicative of the interest rate environment as of December 31, 2011, and do not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate fluctuations. Accordingly, we estimate that the fair value of our fixed rate debt is $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2011. Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, we have one interest rate swap agreement in our consolidated portfolio. 53 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES INDEX Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Statement Schedule Schedule III - Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation Page 55 56 58 59 60 61 64 65 93 54 MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Our system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and the members of our Board of Trustees; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used as guidance the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon the assessment performed, management believes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2011. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, independently assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. KPMG LLP has issued a report which is included on page 57 of this Annual Report. 55 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Trustees and Shareholders Lexington Realty Trust: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lexington Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the accompanying financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lexington Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. New York, New York February 28, 2012 (signed) KPMG LLP 56 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Trustees and Shareholders Lexington Realty Trust: We have audited Lexington Realty Trust's (the “Company's”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011 and the related financial statement schedule, and our report dated February 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule.

statements. 64 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (1) The Company Lexington Realty Trust (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except when the context only applies to the parent entity, the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered Maryland statutory real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of predominately net-leased office, industrial and retail properties. The Company also provides investment advisory and asset management services to investors in the net-lease area. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had interests in approximately 185 consolidated properties located in 39 states. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had ownership interests in approximately 195 consolidated properties in 39 states. A majority of the real properties in which the Company had an interest are generally subject to net leases or similar leases where the tenant pays all or substantially all of the cost and/or cost increases for real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and ordinary maintenance of the property. However, certain leases provide that the landlord is responsible for certain operating expenses. The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities. The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owner subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, (2) operating partnerships in which the Company is the sole unit holder of the general partner and the sole unit holder of the limited partner that holds a majority of the limited partner interests (“OP units”) or (3) Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. (“LRA”), a wholly-owned TRS. On December 31, 2010, Net 3 Acquisition L.P. (“Net 3”), a former operating partnership, merged into the Company and Net 3 ceased to exist for financial reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company controlled two operating partnerships: (1) Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”) and (2) Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. (“LCIF II”). Property owner subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an interest and lender subsidiaries are lenders under loan agreements where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases are separate and distinct legal entities. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP. If an investment is determined to be a VIE, the Company performs an analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in an entity. In order for a party to have a controlling financial interest in an entity, it must have (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of an entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities. The Company's consolidated VIEs were determined to be VIEs primarily because each entity's equity holders' obligation to absorb losses is protected or its equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entities to finance activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because it has a controlling financial interest in the entities. 65 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) The Company determined that a wholly-owned entity which owns an office building in Greenville, South Carolina is a VIE and is consolidated by the Company as the entity's obligation to absorb losses is protected. The tenant has an option to purchase the property on December 31, 2014 at fair market value, but not for less than $10,710 and not for greater than $11,550. If the tenant does not exercise the purchase option, the Company has the right to require the tenant to purchase the property for $10,710. Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held variable interests in certain non-consolidated VIEs; however, the Company was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the entities. The Company determined that Concord Debt Holdings LLC and related entities are VIEs. The Company's carrying value of these investments is zero and the Company has no obligation to fund future operations (see note 9). The Company has certain acquisition commitments and/ or acquisition, development and construction arrangements with VIEs. The Company is obligated to fund certain amounts as discussed in note 4. Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) reduced by preferred dividends and amounts allocated to non-vested share-based payment awards, if applicable, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are similarly computed but include the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options, OP units and put options of certain convertible securities. Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, valuation of derivative financial instruments and the useful lives of long- lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("Topic 820"), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Renewal options in leases with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight-line rent if the renewals are not reasonably assured. If the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. If the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company recognizes lease termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and writes off unamortized lease-related intangible and other lease- related account balances, provided there are no further Company obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and balances are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period with the termination payments being recorded as a component of rent receivable-deferred or deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 66 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based upon the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent the Company sells a property and retains a partial ownership interest in the property, the Company recognizes gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest. Accounts Receivable. The Company continuously monitors collections from tenants and makes a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Company has identified. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was not significant. Purchase Accounting and Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments for assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are included in property operating expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. Also, noncontrolling interests acquired are recorded at estimated fair market value. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building and improvements based on management's determination of relative fair values of these assets. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease- up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below- market lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and management's estimate of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the non-cancelable periods and bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases. The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationship values, is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods and any bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationships are amortized to expense over the applicable lease term plus expected renewal periods. Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic useful lives of the properties. The Company generally depreciates buildings and building improvements over periods ranging from 8 to 40 years, land improvements from 15 to 20 years, and fixtures and equipment from 2 to 16 years. Impairment of Real Estate. The Company evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible real estate assets held for investment for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates its carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset. If such cash flows are less than the asset's carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset's carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, which may be below the balance of any non-recourse financing. Estimating future cash flows and fair values is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. 67 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities. The Company accounts for its investments in 50% or less owned entities under the equity method, unless consolidation is required. If the Company's investment in the entity is insignificant and the Company has no influence over the control of the entity then the entity is accounted for under the cost method. Impairment of Equity Method Investments. The Company assesses whether there are indicators that the value of its equity method investments may be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only if the Company determines that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is highly subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about the Company's intent and ability to recover its investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment, including the level of the Company's involvement therein, among other factors. To the extent an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. Loans Receivable. Loans held for investment are intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees, loan purchase discounts, and net of an allowance for loan losses when such loan is deemed to be impaired. Loan origination costs and fees and loan purchase discounts are amortized over the term of the loan. The Company considers a loan impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Significant judgments are required in determining whether impairment has occurred. The Company performs an impairment analysis by comparing either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable current market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral to the net carrying value of the loan, which may result in an allowance and corresponding loan loss charge. Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. The Company evaluates loans receivable where the Company participates in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether the Company has the same risks and rewards as an owner or a joint venture partner. Where the Company concludes that such arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, the Company reflects such loan receivable as an equity investment in real estate under construction in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In these cases, no interest income is recorded on the loan receivable and the Company records capitalized interest during the construction period. In arrangements where the Company engages a developer to construct a property, the Company will capitalize interest and real estate taxes during the construction period. Properties Held For Sale. Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with assets and liabilities being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties. Deferred Expenses. Deferred expenses consist primarily of debt and leasing costs. Debt costs are amortized using the straight- line method, which approximates the interest method, over the terms of the debt instruments and leasing costs are amortized over the term of the related lease. Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("Topic 815"). In accordance with Topic 815, these agreements are carried on the balance sheet at their respective fair values, as an asset if fair value is positive, or as a liability if fair value is negative. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge whereby the effective portion of the interest rate swap's change in fair value is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss); the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in earnings as an increase or decrease to interest expense. 68 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Upon entering into hedging transactions, the Company documents the relationship between the interest rate swap agreement and the hedged item. The Company also documents its risk-management policies, including objectives and strategies, as they relate to its hedging activities. The Company assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an on-going basis, whether or not the hedge is highly effective. The Company will discontinue hedge accounting on a prospective basis with changes in the estimated fair value reflected in earnings when (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions), (2) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur or (3) it is determined that designating the derivative as an interest rate swap is no longer appropriate. The Company may utilize interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage interest rate risk and does not anticipate entering into derivative transactions for speculative trading purposes. Stock Compensation. The Company maintains an equity participation plan. Non-vested share grants generally vest either based upon (1) time, (2) performance and/or (3) market conditions. Options granted under the plan in 2010 vest over a five- year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan in 2008 vest upon attainment of certain market performance measures and expire ten years from the date of grant. All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values. Tax Status. The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities. Income taxes, primarily related to the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries, are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash. Restricted cash is comprised primarily of cash balances held in escrow with lenders. Foreign Currency. The Company determined that the functional currency of its former foreign operation, which was sold in 2010, was the respective local currency. As such, assets and liabilities of the Company's former foreign operation was translated using the period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses were translated using the exchange rate as determined throughout the period. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and as a separate component of the Company's shareholders' equity. Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, an owner of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities may include government fines, penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances. Although most of the tenants of properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental damage and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of the tenant of such premises to satisfy any obligations with respect to such environmental liability, or if the tenant is not responsible, the Company's property owner subsidiary may be required to satisfy any such obligations, should they exist. In addition, the property owner subsidiary, as the owner of such a property, may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was not aware of any environmental matter relating to any of its investments that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 69 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Segment Reporting. The Company operates generally in one industry segment, net-leased real estate assets. Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including certain statement of operations captions including activities for properties sold during 2011, which are presented as discontinued operations. (3) Earnings Per Share The Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011: BASIC AND DILUTED Loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders Loss from discontinued operations attributable to common shareholders Net loss attributable to common shareholders Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding Loss per common share: Loss from continuing operations Loss from discontinued operations Net loss attributable to common shareholders 2011 2010 2009 $ $ (64,099) $ (34,098) $ (164,615) (39,622) (103,721) $ (23,998) (58,096) $ (78,261) (242,876) 152,473,336 130,985,809 109,280,955 $ $ (0.42) (0.26) (0.68) $ $ (0.26) (0.18) (0.44) $ $ (1.51) (0.71) (2.22) For per common share amounts, all incremental shares are considered anti-dilutive for periods that have a loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders. In addition, other common share equivalents may be anti-dilutive in certain periods. During 2011, the Company repurchased and retired an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred") at a $833 discount to the historical cost basis. This discount constitutes a deemed negative dividend, offsetting other dividends, and is accretive to common shareholders. In addition, the Company repurchased and retired an aggregate of 419,126 shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred") at a $95 premium to historical cost. This premium is treated as a deemed dividend. Accordingly, net loss was adjusted for these dividends to arrive at net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2011. During 2009, 503,100 shares of Series C Preferred were converted into 2,955,368 common shares. The difference between the fair value of the securities transferred in excess of the fair value of the securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms of $6,994 constitutes a deemed dividend, even though the conversion was for equivalent fair values, and is dilutive to common shareholders. Accordingly, net loss was adjusted to arrive at net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2009. 70 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (4) Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Under Construction The Company, through property owner subsidiaries, acquired the following operating properties in separate transactions during 2011: Property Type Location Acquisition/ Consolidation Date Initial Cost Basis Lease Expiration Land Building and Improvements Lease Intangibles Above Market Lease Value Lease in- place Value Tenant Relationships Value Industrial Byhalia, MS May 2011 Office Office (1) Industrial (2) Rock Hill, SC May 2011 Allen, TX May 2011 Shelby, NC June 2011 Office Columbus, OH July 2011 Industrial Office (3) Chillicothe, OH October 2011 Aurora, IL October 2011 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 27,492 03/2026 7,395 08/2021 36,304 03/2018 23,470 05/2031 6,137 07/2027 12,110 06/2026 15,300 09/2017 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 1,005 551 5,591 1,421 433 736 3,063 $ 128,208 $ 12,800 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 21,483 4,313 21,607 18,917 2,773 9,021 5,943 84,057 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ — — — — — — 1,272 1,272 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 4,097 1,853 5,127 2,712 2,205 1,859 3,616 21,469 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 907 678 3,979 420 726 494 1,406 8,610 Weighted-average life of intangible assets (years) 6.0 11.8 9.7 (1) The Company acquired the property from Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. pursuant to a purchase option. (2) The Company funded the construction of the property commencing in 2010. (3) Obtained control of joint venture investment (see note 9). In addition, during 2011, the Company deposited $1,700 and posted a $1,600 letter of credit toward the purchase of a $17,558 to-be-built 80,000 square foot office property in Eugene, Oregon. Substantial completion of the property is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2013 although there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. During 2010, the Company, through a property owner subsidiary, acquired an office property for $16,650. The property is located in Columbus, Ohio and is net-leased for 16 years. In addition in 2010, the Company, through a property owner subsidiary, purchased a parcel and parking lot adjacent to a property in which the Company has an interest in a sale/leaseback transaction with an existing tenant, Nevada Power Company, for $3,275. One of the Company's property owner subsidiaries financed the purchase of the parking lot with a $2,450 non-recourse mortgage note that matures in September 2014 and bears interest at 7.5%. In connection with the transaction, the Nevada Power Company's lease on the existing property was extended from January 2014 to January 2029. The Company recognized aggregate acquisition expenses of $432 and $164 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in property operating expenses within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the components of intangible assets, are as follows: In-place lease values Tenant relationship values Above-market leases 2011 2010 $ $ 327,589 $ 152,390 66,939 546,918 $ 335,152 156,495 85,987 577,634 The estimated amortization of the above intangibles for the next five years is $37,925 in 2012, $27,862 in 2013, $22,406 in 2014, $16,819 in 2015 and $14,468 in 2016. Below-market leases, net of accretion, which are included in deferred revenue, are $78,806 and $94,677, respectively as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The estimated accretion for the next five years is $7,134 in 2012, $6,696 in 2013, $5,734 in 2014, $4,671 in 2015 and $3,693 in 2016. 71 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) During 2011, the Company, through lender subsidiaries and property owner subsidiaries, entered into three acquisition, development and construction arrangements whereby the lender subsidiaries agreed to lend funds to construct build-to-suit properties and the property owner subsidiaries agreed to purchase the properties upon completion of construction and commencement of a tenant lease. When the Company anticipates that it will indirectly participate in residual profits through the loan provisions and other contracts, the Company records the loan as an investment in real estate under construction. In addition, the Company hired developers to construct two office buildings and formed a joint venture with a developer to construct an industrial facility, which will be leased to single-tenants upon completion. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following development arrangements outstanding: Location Saint Joseph, MO(1) Huntington, WV(1)(3) Shreveport, LA(1) Property Type Office Office Square Feet 99,000 70,000 Industrial 257,000 Florence, SC Long Island City, NY(2) Jessup, PA Office Industrial Office 32,000 143,000 150,000 751,000 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Expected Maximum Commitment/ Contribution Estimated Purchase Price/ Completion Cost Lease Term (Years) Estimated Completion Date 17,991 11,826 2,520 5,128 46,728 20,780 104,973 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 17,991 12,600 13,064 5,128 55,524 20,780 125,087 15 15 10 12 15 15 2Q 12 1Q 12 2Q 12 1Q 12 1Q 13 2Q 12 (1) Acquisition, development and construction arrangement. (2) Joint venture investment. The Company has guaranteed completion to the ground owner. The guarantee obligation was valued at $1,500 and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company may loan a maximum of $4,398 to the joint venture under certain circumstances. The difference between the Company's expected contribution and the estimated completion cost represents the joint venture partner's equity. (3) Property acquired in January 2012. The Company has variable interests in certain developer entities constructing the facilities but is not the primary beneficiary of the entities as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's aggregate investment in development arrangements is $32,829, which includes $619 of interest capitalized during 2011, and is presented as investments in real estate under construction in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. (5) Sales of Real Estate and Discontinued Operations The Company sold its interests in 17 properties in 2011, 13 properties in 2010 and 18 properties in 2009, three of which were transferred to lenders or disposed of through bankruptcy. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, these sales generated aggregate net proceeds of $124,039, $80,224 and $108,475, respectively, which resulted in gains on sales of $6,557, $14,613 and $9,134, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized net debt satisfaction gains (charges) relating to these properties of $(606), $2,924 and $11,471, respectively. These gains (charges) are included in discontinued operations. At December 31, 2011, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale and two properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2010. The following presents the operating results for the properties sold and held for sale during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009: Total gross revenues Pre-tax net loss, including gains on sales 72 Year Ending December 31, 2011 2010 2009 $ $ 9,630 (40,050) $ $ 31,874 (32,932) $ $ 58,687 (81,187) LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) In 2009, the Company, through a property owner subsidiary, received gross proceeds of $4,750 in a sale-leaseback transaction of land in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The Company is leasing back the land for 30 years and has an option to purchase the land in June 2014 and June 2015. The Company has not recognized a gain on the transaction as the Company is considered to have continued involvement in the property due to the purchase option. During 2009, the Company conveyed its interest in three properties to lenders in full satisfaction of the related aggregate $38,022 non-recourse mortgage notes payable. (6) Impairment of Real Estate Investments The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value. During 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $68,560 and $2,955, respectively, on real estate assets classified in continuing operations. Of the $68,560 in impairment charges recognized in 2011, $29,022 relates to properties in which there are noncontrolling ownership interests. Accordingly, the noncontrolling partners' share of these impairments is $12,495 and is reflected in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has explored the possible disposition of some non-core properties, including retail, underperforming and multi-tenant properties and determined that the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon revised estimated holding periods of certain of these properties were below the current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of these properties to their estimated fair values. Three of these properties have outstanding non- recourse mortgage debt, net of lender escrows, of $27,273. The properties were written down to the estimated aggregate fair value of $19,558, which is $7,715 less than the corresponding non-recourse mortgages encumbering the properties. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $48,883, $50,061 and $99,590, respectively, of impairment charges in discontinued operations, relating to real estate assets that were ultimately disposed of below their carrying value. During 2010, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of $168 on a bond investment secured by real estate assets. The Company sold investments in debt securities in 2009 for $9,451 and realized a loss $491. (7) Loans Receivable As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's loans receivable, including accrued interest and net of origination fees and loan losses, are comprised primarily of first and second mortgage loans and mezzanine loans on real estate aggregating $66,619 and $88,937, respectively. The loans bear interest, including imputed interest, at rates ranging from 4.6% to 16.0% and mature at various dates between 2012 and 2022. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company, through a lender subsidiary, made a $10,000 mezzanine loan secured by a 100% pledge of all equity interests in the entities which own two, to-be-constructed distribution facilities. The loan was scheduled to mature in June 2013 and had an interest rate of 15.0% for the first year and 18.5% for the second year. The loan, along with all accrued interest and yield maintenance premium, was fully satisfied in November 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company, through a lender subsidiary, loaned $3,003 to the buyer in connection with the sale for $3,650 of a vacant industrial property. The loan is secured by the property, bears interest at 7.8% and matures in January 2013. During 2011 and 2010, the Company, through a lender subsidiary, made a mortgage loan to an entity which owns an office building in Schaumburg, Illinois, which had an outstanding balance of $21,515 at December 31, 2011 and bore interest at 15%. This mortgage loan had a maturity date of January 15, 2012 but could have been extended one additional year by the borrower for a 50 basis point fee. The property is net-leased from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2022 for an average annual rent of $3,968. The lender subsidiary may be obligated to lend an additional $12,199 for tenant improvement costs. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the borrower defaulted on the loan. The Company believes the office building has an estimated fair value in excess of the Company's investment and the Company has initiated foreclosure proceedings. 73 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) During 2010, the Company, through a lender subsidiary, made a $17,000 loan to entities which, collectively, owned five medical facilities. The loan (i) was guaranteed by a parent entity and principal, (ii) was principally secured by either ownership pledges for, second mortgage liens or mortgage liens against the medical facilities, (iii) matured in December 2011 and (iv) requires payments of interest only at a rate of 14.0% through February 2011 and 16.0% thereafter. The lender subsidiary received aggregate prepayments of $7,500 in December 2010 and February 2011, and the remaining $9,500 in December 2011. The Company has two types of financing receivables: loans receivable and a capitalized financing lease. The Company determined that its financing receivables operate within one portfolio segment as they are both within the same industry and use the same impairment methodology. The Company's loans receivable are secured by commercial real estate assets and the capitalized financing lease is for a commercial office property located in Greenville, South Carolina. In addition, the Company assesses all financing receivables for impairment, when warranted, based on an individual analysis of each receivable. The Company's financing receivables operate within one class of financing receivables as these assets are collateralized by commercial real estate and similar metrics are used to monitor the risk and performance of these assets. The Company's management uses credit quality indicators to monitor financing receivables such as quality of collateral, the underlying tenant's credit rating and collection experience. As of December 31, 2011, the financing receivables were performing as anticipated and there were no significant delinquent amounts outstanding. During 2010, the Company recorded a loan loss of $3,756 on a loan receivable secured by the property in Wilsonville, Oregon. In October 2010, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement with the borrower. In accordance with the terms of the modification agreement, in addition to other provisions, monthly payments were adjusted to interest only through maturity, the maturity was accelerated from July 2015 to December 2012 and the Company agreed to a discounted payoff prior to maturity. During 2011, the borrower defaulted on the loan and the Company completed a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; accordingly the property is now included in real estate in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011. During 2009, the Company agreed to the discounted payoff of two loans receivable with an aggregate carrying value of $4,950. The Company wrote the loans receivable down to the aggregate agreed-upon discounted payoff amount of $3,865, which approximated fair value and recognized a loan loss reserve of $1,085 during 2009. (8) Fair Value Measurements The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities from continuing operations measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and non-recurring basis during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall: Description 2011 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Interest rate swap liability Impaired real estate assets* $ $ (3,236) 133,220 $ $ — — $ $ (3,236) — $ $ — 133,220 Fair Value Measurements Using *Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement. Description 2010 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Fair Value Measurements Using Forward purchase equity asset Interest rate swap liability Impaired real estate assets* Impaired loan receivable* $ $ $ $ 27,574 (5,280) 235 6,860 $ $ $ $ — — — — $ $ $ $ 27,574 (5,280) — — $ $ $ $ — — 235 6,860 *Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement. 74 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) The table below sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010: Assets Loans Receivable Liabilities Debt As of December 31, 2011 As of December 31, 2010 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value $ 66,619 $ 54,179 $ 88,937 $ 75,868 $ 1,662,375 $ 1,533,205 $ 1,774,985 $ 1,614,626 The Company has determined that the forward purchase equity asset should fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as its value is based not only on the value of the Company's common share price but also on other observable inputs. The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swap liability fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swap liability utilizes Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative to the overall interest rate swap liability is not significant. As a result, the entire interest rate swap liability has been classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as broker opinions of value, recent sales data for similar assets or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under estimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated. The Company estimates the fair values of its loans receivable by using an estimated discounted cash flow analysis consisting of scheduled cash flows and discount rate estimates to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use and/or the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by using a discounted cash flow analysis, based upon estimates of market interest rates. Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts. Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments. 75 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (9) Investment in and Advances to Non-Consolidated Entities Pemlex LLC. In April 2011, the Company made a $14,180 noncontrolling, preferred equity investment in a joint venture, Pemlex LLC, formed to acquire a 210,000 square foot office property in Aurora, Illinois. The property was purchased by a consolidated subsidiary of the joint venture for a gross purchase price of $15,900. The property is net-leased to a single tenant through September 2017. The Company is entitled to a 15.0% internal rate of return, including a 9.6% current annual preferred return, on its investment, subject to available cash proceeds. At acquisition, the Company determined that Pemlex LLC was not a VIE. The Company recorded its investment under the equity method of accounting as it was not the controlling managing member of the entity. During 2011, the Company recognized $1,344 equity in income from non-consolidated entities relating to its share of income from Pemlex LLC based upon the hypothetical liquidation of book value method. The Company commenced consolidation of Pemlex LLC in October 2011, as the Company became the managing member of Pemlex LLC. Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. (“NLS”). NLS is a co-investment program with a subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland”). NLS was established to acquire single-tenant net-lease specialty real estate in the United States. Inland and the Company own 85% and 15%, respectively, of NLS's common equity, and the Company owns 100% of NLS's preferred equity. Inland and the Company are currently entitled to a return on/of their respective capital contributions from operations in the following priority: (1) Inland, 9% on its common equity ($220,590 in common equity), (2) the Company, 10.5% on its unpaid preferred equity allocated to properties that were previously sold or refinanced ($115,579 in unpaid preferred equity) and 6.5% on its remaining preferred equity ($46,786 in remaining preferred equity), (3) the Company, 9% on its common equity ($38,928 in common equity), (4) return of the Company preferred equity ($162,365 in preferred equity), (5) return of Inland common equity ($220,590 in common equity), (6) return of the Company common equity ($38,928 in common equity) and (7) any remaining cash flow is allocated 65% to Inland and 35% to the Company as long as the Company is the general partner; and if not, allocations are 85% to Inland and 15% to the Company. In addition, the partners in NLS are currently entitled to a return on/of each of their respective capital contributions from capital events as follows: (1) return of the Company's unpaid preferred equity allocated to properties that were previously sold or refinanced, (2) Inland to the extent of any unpaid 9% return on its common equity, (3) the Company, to the extent of any unpaid 10.5% and 6.5% return on its remaining preferred equity, as applicable, (4) return of the Company's preferred equity allocation with respect to the asset(s) involved in the capital event, (5) the Company, to the extent of any unpaid 9% return on its common equity, (6) return of Inland common equity, (7) return of the Company's remaining preferred equity, (8) return of the Company's common equity and (9) any remaining amount is allocated 65% to Inland and 35% to the Company as long as the Company is the general partner; and if not, allocations are 85% to Inland and 15% to the Company. LRA has entered into a management agreement with NLS, whereby LRA will receive (1) a management fee of 0.375% of the equity capital, (2) a property management fee of up to 3.0% of actual gross revenues from certain assets for which the landlord is obligated to provide property management services (contingent upon the recoverability of such fees from the tenant under the applicable lease) and (3) an acquisition fee of 0.5% of the gross purchase price of each acquired asset by NLS. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $21,572, $19,468 and $12,364, respectively, of equity in income relating to NLS based upon the hypothetical liquidation of book value method. The initial difference between the assets contributed to NLS and the fair value of the Company's initial equity investment in NLS is $94,723 and is accreted into income over the estimated useful lives of NLS's assets. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded earnings of $3,599, $3,636 and $3,636, respectively, related to this difference, which is included in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The NLS partnership agreement provides that (1) either limited partner can exercise the buy/sell right or the right of first offer after February 20, 2012 and (2) upon one limited partner's exercise of either right, the responding partner may not again trigger the buy/sell right or the right of first offer until the termination of all procedures and timeframes pursuant to the exercising partner's chosen right. 76 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) On February 20, 2012 and February 21, 2012, the Company delivered notices to Inland exercising the buy/sell right and specifying a price of $213,014, at which the Company would purchase the assets of NLS, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement included with the notice providing for a sale of Inland's interest in NLS to the Company. The specified price would be distributed in accordance with the capital events distribution priority set forth in the paragraph describing distributions upon capital events above. Inland must elect to either sell its interest in NLS to the Company or buy the Company's interest in NLS. On February 21, 2012, Inland delivered a notice to the Company exercising the right of first offer, which offered to sell 41 of the 43 properties in which NLS has an interest for a price of $548,706, including the assumption of any related debt, with closing to occur prior to August 21, 2012 and on other specified terms. If the Company does not elect to purchase the offered properties, Inland has six months from the exercise notice to sell the properties to a bona fide third party. Upon the sale, the specified price would be distributed in accordance with the capital events distribution priority set forth in the paragraph describing distributions upon capital events above. Under both the buy/sell right and the right of first offer, the responding partner has 45 days to respond. On May 5, 2011, the Company made a $6,875 non-recourse mezzanine loan to NLS that bore interest at 15% per annum, matured in March 2018 and was secured by NLS's interest in Lexington Allen Manager LLC and Lexington Allen L.P. (the entities that own the Allen, Texas property). On May 31, 2011, the Company exercised a related purchase option and acquired the Allen, Texas property through the assumption of the $30,582 first mortgage and $6,875 mezzanine loan secured by the property. The $30,582 first mortgage was subsequently satisfied. In May 2011, the Company loaned, at a 7.4% interest rate, a NLS entity $13,202 to satisfy a non-recourse mortgage balloon payment. The Company loaned a NLS entity $7,614 during 2010 to satisfy a non-recourse mortgage balloon payment. The loan bore interest at 6.9%. Both of these loans were repaid in full in July 2011. Concord Debt Holdings LLC (“Concord”), Lex-Win Concord LLC (“Lex-Win Concord”), CDH CDO LLC and LW Sofi LLC. On December 31, 2006 in connection with the Company's merger with Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. (“Newkirk”), the Company acquired a 50% interest in a co-investment program, Concord, which owns bonds and loans secured, directly and indirectly, by real estate assets. The other 50% interest in Concord was held by WRT Realty L.P. (“Winthrop”). The Company and Winthrop each contributed its interest in Concord to Lex-Win Concord. During 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland America Real Estate Trust (“Inland Concord”) was admitted to Concord as a preferred member. During 2009, the Company reduced its investment in Lex-Win Concord to zero through impairment charges. During 2010, Concord was restructured upon the effectiveness of a settlement agreement with Inland Concord. As a result of the restructuring (i) Lex-Win Concord was dissolved, (ii) Concord is now owned equally by subsidiaries of the Company, Winthrop and Inland Concord and (iii) a new entity, CDH CDO LLC (“CDH CDO”), was created. The new entity purchased Concord Real Estate CDO 2006-1 LTD from Concord with funds contributed by Inland Concord. CDH CDO is also owned equally by subsidiaries of the Company, Winthrop and Inland Concord. The Company made no additional contributions and did not recognize any income or loss as a result of the restructuring. The Company's investment in these ventures was initially valued at zero and the Company recognizes future income on the cash basis. During 2011, the Company received distributions of $258 from Lex-Win Concord, $3,596 from Concord and $100 from CDH CDO, which were recorded as equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities. In June 2011, the Company formed an equally owned joint venture with Winthrop, LW Sofi LLC, to acquire the economic interest in a mezzanine loan owned by Concord. The Company recorded the $5,760 contribution to the joint venture in investments in and advances to non-consolidated entities. In November 2011, the Company received $7,937 upon full satisfaction of the mezzanine loan and dissolution of the joint venture. The Company determined that Concord, CDH CDO and LW Sofi LLC are VIEs as the equity at risk is not sufficient to finance the entity's activities; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have a controlling financial interest in these entities. 77 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Other. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge on a non- consolidated joint venture acquired in the merger with Newkirk due to a change in the Company's estimate of net proceeds to be received upon liquidation of the joint venture. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $1,559 impairment charge in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities and reduced the carrying value of the investment to $719. During 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $2,000 on the sale of an office building in Columbia, South Carolina, in which the Company held a 40% limited partnership interest. The Company's share of net proceeds from the sale was $12,513. In addition, the Company sold its interest in a hotel joint venture for $60 and incurred an impairment charge of $6,480 during 2009. The Company's remaining equity method investments consist of interests in five partnerships with ownership percentages ranging between 27% and 35%, which own primarily net-leased properties. All profits, losses and cash flows are distributed in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. The partnerships are encumbered by $21,563 in mortgage debt (the Company's proportionate share is $6,468 with interest rates ranging from 9.4% to 11.5% with a weighted- average rate of 9.9% and maturity dates ranging from 2012 to 2016. LRA earns advisory fees from certain of these non-consolidated entities, including NLS, for services related to acquisitions, asset management and debt placement. Advisory fees earned from these non-consolidated investments were $804, $967 and $1,140 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. (10) Mortgages and Notes Payable The Company had outstanding mortgages and notes payable of $1,366,004 and $1,481,216 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, excluding discontinued operations. Interest rates, including imputed rates on mortgages and notes payable, ranged from 3.6% to 7.8% at December 31, 2011 and the mortgages and notes payable mature between 2012 and 2021. Interest rates, including imputed rates, ranged from 3.6% to 7.8% at December 31, 2010. The weighted-average interest rate at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 5.7% and 5.8%, respectively. On January 28, 2011, the Company refinanced its secured revolving credit facility with a $300,000 secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank N.A. (“KeyBank”), as agent. The $300,000 secured revolving credit facility bore interest at 2.50% plus LIBOR if the Company's leverage ratio, as defined, was less than 50%, 2.85% plus LIBOR if the Company's leverage ratio was between 50% and 60%, and 3.10% plus LIBOR if the Company's leverage ratio exceeded 60%. The new secured revolving credit facility matured in January 2014 but could be extended to January 2015, at the Company's option subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The secured revolving credit facility was secured by ownership interest pledges and guarantees by certain of the Company's subsidiaries that in the aggregate own interests in a borrowing base of properties. With the consent of the lenders, the Company could increase the size of the secured revolving credit facility by $225,000 (for a total facility size of $525,000). The borrowing availability of the secured revolving credit facility was based upon the net operating income of the properties comprising the borrowing base as defined in the secured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2011, no amounts were outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility and the available borrowing under the secured revolving credit facility was $300,000 less outstanding letters of credit of $5,682. In connection with the refinancing, the Company incurred aggregate financing costs of $3,941 as of December 31, 2011. The secured revolving credit facility was subject to financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with at December 31, 2011. The secured revolving credit facility was refinanced in January 2012 (see note 22). The Company had $25,000 and $35,551 secured term loans with KeyBank. The loans were interest only at LIBOR plus 60 basis points and matured in 2013. These secured term loans contained financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the secured term loan agreements, the Company simultaneously entered into an interest-rate swap agreement with KeyBank to swap the LIBOR rate on the loans for a fixed rate of 4.92% through March 18, 2013, and the Company assumed a liability for the fair value of the swap at inception of approximately $5,696 ($3,236 and $5,280 at 2011 and 2010, respectively). The fair value of the swap at inception was accounted for as a discount on the debt and was being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the loans. The remaining unamortized discount was $1,196 and $2,183 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company satisfied the secured term loans and interest-rate swap in January 2012 (see note 22). Included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company recognized debt satisfaction gains (charges), net, excluding discontinued operations, of $45, $972 and $(332) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, due to the satisfaction of mortgages and notes payable other than those disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements. 78 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Mortgages payable and secured loans are generally collateralized by real estate and the related leases.

The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve its REIT status. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the notes have a conversion rate of 142.6917 common shares per one thousand principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $7.01 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including increases in the Company's dividend rate above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at the Company's election. The notes are convertible prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning in January 2029 and also upon the occurrence of specified events. During 2007, the Company issued an aggregate $450,000 of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes due in 2027. These notes could be put to the Company commencing in 2012 and every five years thereafter through maturity. The notes were exchangeable by the holders into common shares at $19.49 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events, including increases in the Company's rate of dividends above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. Upon exchange, the holders of the notes would receive (1) cash equal to the principal amount of the note and (2) to the extent the conversion value exceeded the principal amount of the note, either cash or common shares at the Company's option. During 2010 and 2009, the Company repurchased and retired $25,500 and $123,350, respectively, original principal amount of the notes for cash payments of $25,493 and $101,006, respectively. This resulted in debt satisfaction gains (charges), net of ($760) and $17,355, respectively, including write-offs of $768 and $4,989, respectively, of the debt discount and deferred financing costs (see note 22). 79 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Below is a summary of additional disclosures related to the 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes and the 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes.

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings. Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company designated the interest-rate swap agreement with KeyBank as a cash flow hedge of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate on $35,551 and $25,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate secured term loans. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings as interest becomes receivable or payable. Because the fair value of the swap at inception of the hedge was not zero, the Company cannot assume that there will be no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. However, the Company expects the hedging relationship to be highly effective and will measure and report any ineffectiveness in earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on these secured term loans. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,695 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense if the swap remains outstanding. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk: Interest Rate Derivative Interest Rate Swap Number of Instruments 1 Notional $60,551 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During 2008, the Company entered into a forward purchase equity commitment with a financial institution to finance the purchase of 3,500,000 common shares of the Company at $5.60 per share as specifically approved by the Company's Board of Trustees. The Company prepaid $15,576. The remainder was to be paid through (i) physical settlement or (ii) net cash settlement, net share settlement or a combination of both, at the Company's option. The Company agreed to make floating payments during the term of the forward purchase at LIBOR plus 250 basis points per annum, and the Company retained the cash dividends paid on the common shares; however, the counterparty retained any stock dividends as additional collateral. The Company's third-party consultant determined the fair value of the equity commitment to be $27,574 at December 31, 2010, and the Company recognized earnings during 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $2,030, $8,906 and $7,182, respectively, primarily relating to the increase in the fair value of the common shares held as collateral. The Company settled this commitment in October 2011 through a cash payment of $4,024 and retired 3,974,645 common shares. 81 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not posted any collateral related to the agreement. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 2011, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement at the termination value of $3,400, which includes accrued interest. 82 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (13) Leases Lessor: Minimum future rental receipts under the non-cancelable portion of tenant leases, assuming no new or re-negotiated leases, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: Year ending December 31, 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Thereafter $ Total 285,462 267,912 234,097 196,446 167,297 752,745 $ 1,903,959 The above minimum lease payments do not include reimbursements to be received from tenants for certain operating expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases. Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease if the property is deemed obsolete, as defined, and upon payment of a termination fee to the landlord, as stipulated in the lease. In addition, certain leases provide the tenant with the right to purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price. Lessee: The Company holds, through property owner subsidiaries, leasehold interests in various properties. Generally, the ground rents on these properties are either paid directly by the tenants to the fee holder or reimbursed to the Company as additional rent. Certain properties are economically owned through the holding of industrial revenue bonds and as such neither ground lease payments nor bond debt service payments are made or received, respectively. For certain of these properties, the Company has an option to purchase the fee interest. Minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable leasehold interests, excluding leases held through industrial revenue bonds and lease payments in the future that are based upon fair market value, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: Year ending December 31, 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Thereafter Total 2,624 2,426 1,985 1,793 1,465 13,121 23,414 $ $ Rent expense for the leasehold interests, including discontinued operations, was $776, $955 and $1,039 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company leases its corporate headquarters. The lease expires December 2015, with rent fixed at $1,299 per annum through December 2011, $865 in 2012 and $1,153 per annum, thereafter. The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of operating expenses and real estate taxes above a base year. As an incentive to enter the lease, the Company received a payment of $845 which it is amortizing as a reduction of rent expense. In addition, the Company leases office space for its regional offices. The minimum lease payments for the Company's regional offices are $84 for 2012, $83 for 2013, $45 for 2014, $36 for 2015 and 2016 and $9 thereafter. Rent expense for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1,392, $1,332 and $1,299, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. 83 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (14) Concentration of Risk The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues. Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. (15) Equity Shareholders' Equity: During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 11,109,760, 23,712,980 and 4,338,915 common shares, respectively, through public offerings and under its direct share purchase plan, raising proceeds of approximately $98,953, $166,427 and $20,947 respectively. The proceeds were used for general working capital, to fund investments and retire indebtedness. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $13,134 in additional paid-in-capital, representing the conversion feature of the 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 represented $1,938 and $(106), respectively, of unrealized gain (loss) on an interest rate swap. During 2009, the Company declared that three of its quarterly common share dividends would be paid in a combination of cash (10% in the aggregate) and common shares. The following details the declared 2009 quarterly common share dividends: Dividend First quarter 2009 Second quarter 2009 Third quarter 2009 Fourth quarter 2009 Per Common Share Amount $ $ $ $ 0.18 0.18 0.18 0.10 Dividend April 24, 2009 July 30, 2009 October 16, 2009 January 15, 2010 Common Shares Issued 5,097,229 4,333,183 3,873,786 — $ $ $ $ Cash Paid 1,819 1,970 2,110 12,194 The Company had 1,970,200 shares of Series C Preferred, outstanding at December 31, 2011. The shares have a dividend of $3.25 per share per annum, have a liquidation preference of $98,510, and the Company, if certain common share prices are achieved, can force conversion into common shares of the Company. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the shares are currently convertible into 2.4339 common shares. This conversion ratio may increase over time if the Company's common share dividend exceeds certain quarterly thresholds. If certain fundamental changes occur, holders may require the Company, in certain circumstances, to repurchase all or part of their shares of Series C Preferred. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the shares of Series C Preferred becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring or surviving company. The Company may, at the Company's option, cause shares of Series C Preferred to be automatically converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company's common shares equals or exceeds 125% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C Preferred. Investors in shares of Series C Preferred generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters and under certain other circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to investors in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares. 84 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 609,182, 361,320 and 466,935 of its common shares, respectively, to certain employees and trustees. Typically, trustee share grants vest immediately. Employee share grants generally vest ratably, on anniversaries of the grant date, however, in certain situations vesting is cliff-based after a specific number of years and/or subject to meeting certain performance criteria. See note 16. Noncontrolling Interests: In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, 398,927, 457,351 and 572,213 common shares, respectively, were issued by the Company, in connection with OP unit redemptions, for an aggregate value of $2,187, $2,685 and $3,580, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately 4,026,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreements. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference. The following discloses the effects of changes in the Company's ownership interests in its noncontrolling interests: Net loss attributable to Lexington Realty Trust shareholders Transfers from noncontrolling interests: Increase in additional paid-in-capital for redemption of noncontrolling OP units Net Loss Attributable to Shareholders and Transfers from Noncontrolling Interests 2011 (79,584) $ 2010 (32,960) $ 2009 (210,152) $ 2,187 2,685 3,580 Change from net loss attributable to shareholders and transfers from noncontrolling interests $ (77,397) $ (30,275) $ (206,572) (16) Benefit Plans The Company maintains an equity award plan pursuant to which qualified and non-qualified options may be issued. The Company granted 1,248,501, 1,265,500 and 2,000,000 common share options on December 31, 2010 (“2010 options”), January 8, 2010 (“2009 options”) and December 31, 2008 (“2008 options”), respectively, at an exercise price of $7.95, $6.39 and $5.60, respectively. The 2010 options (1) vest 20% annually on each December 31, 2011 through 2015 and (2) terminate on the earlier of (x) six months of termination of service with the Company and (y) December 31, 2020. The 2009 options (1) vest 20% annually on each December 31, 2010 through 2014 and (2) terminate on the earlier of (x) six months of termination of service with the Company and (y) December 31, 2019. The 2008 options (1) vested 50% following a 20- day trading period where the average closing price of a common share of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is $8.00 or higher and vest 50% following a 20-day trading period where the average closing price of a common share of the Company on the NYSE is $10.00 or higher, and (2) terminate on the earlier of (x) termination of service with the Company or (y) December 31, 2018. As a result of the share dividends paid in 2009, each of the 2008 options is exchangeable for approximately 1.13 common shares at an exercise price of $4.97 per common share. 85 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) The Company engaged third parties to value the options as of each option's respective grant date. The third parties determined the value to be $2,422 and $2,771 for the 2010 options and 2009 options, respectively, using the Black-Scholes model and $2,480 for the 2008 options using the Monte Carlo model. The options are considered equity awards as they are settled through the issuance of common shares. As such, the options were valued as of the grant date and do not require subsequent remeasurement. There were several assumptions used to fair value the options including the expected volatility in the Company's common share price based upon the fluctuation in the Company's historical common share price. The more significant assumptions underlying the determination of fair value for options granted were as follows: Weighted-average fair value of options granted Weighted-average risk-free interest rate Weighted-average expected option lives (in years) Weighted-average expected volatility Weighted-average expected dividend yield $ 2010 Options 2009 Options 2008 Options $ 1.94 2.54% 6.50 49.00% 7.40% $ 2.19 3.29% 6.70 59.08% 6.26% 1.24 1.33% 3.60 59.94% 14.40% The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to these options over an average of 5.0 years for the 2010 options and 2009 options and 3.6 years for the 2008 options. The Company recognized $1,384, $1,824 and $688 in compensation expense in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to options, $629 of the 2010 amount reflects the accelerated vesting of certain 2008 options, due to performance criteria being met. The Company has unrecognized compensation costs of $3,755 relating to the outstanding options as of December 31, 2011. Share option activity during the years indicated is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2008 (1) Granted Balance at December 31, 2009 Granted Exercised Forfeited Balance at December 31, 2010 Exercised Balance at December 31, 2011 Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share 2,252,000 — 2,252,000 2,514,001 (352,628) (23,768) 4,389,605 (501,324) 3,888,281 $ $ 4.97 — 4.97 7.16 4.97 5.18 6.23 5.16 6.36 (1) As adjusted as a result of share dividends paid in 2009.

At December 31, 2011, there are 4,672,085 awards available for grant. The Company has $6,459 in unrecognized compensation costs relating to the non-vested shares that will be charged to compensation expense over an average of approximately 2.7 years. The Company has established a trust for certain officers in which vested common shares granted for the benefit of the officers are deposited. The officers exert no control over the common shares in the trust and the common shares are available to the general creditors of the Company. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 427,531 common shares in the trust. The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan covering all eligible employees.

In addition, based on its profitability, the Company may make a discretionary contribution at each fiscal year end to all eligible employees. The matching and discretionary contributions are subject to vesting under a schedule providing for 25% annual vesting starting with the first year of employment and 100% vesting after four years of employment. Approximately $308, $311 and $321 of contributions are applicable to 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $2,062, $3,232 and $3,369, respectively, in compensation expense relating to scheduled vesting and issuance of common share grants. (17) Related Party Transactions In addition to related party transactions discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, the Company has an indemnity obligation to Vornado Realty Trust, one of its significant shareholders, with respect to actions by the Company that affect Vornado Realty Trust's status as a REIT. All related party acquisitions, sales and loans were approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of Trustees or the Audit Committee. During 2011 and 2010, the Company advanced an aggregate $20,077 and $7,614, respectively, to NLS entities in the form of interest bearing, non-recourse mortgage notes to satisfy maturing non-recourse mortgages. These advances were satisfied in full in 2011.

(18) Income Taxes The benefit (provision) for income taxes relates primarily to the taxable income of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries. The earnings, other than in taxable REIT subsidiaries, of the Company are not generally subject to federal income taxes at the Company level due to the REIT election made by the Company. Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. 87 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) The Company's benefit (provision) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is summarized as follows: Current: Federal State and local NOL utilized Deferred: Federal State and local 2011 2010 2009 $ $ (440) (1,102) 566 1,399 400 823 $ $ — (1,079) — (418) (53) (1,550) $ $ (401) (2,098) 343 (187) (26) (2,369) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) of $672 and $(1,127) are included in other assets (liabilities) on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These net deferred tax assets (liabilities) relate primarily to differences in the timing of the recognition of income/(loss) between GAAP and tax and net operating loss carry forwards. The income tax benefit (provision) differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax operating income as follows: Federal provision at statutory tax rate (34%) State and local taxes, net of federal benefit Other 2011 2010 2009 (580) (100) 1,503 823 $ $ (388) (31) (1,131) (1,550) $ $ (376) (33) (1,960) (2,369) $ $ For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the “other” amount is comprised primarily of state taxes of $976, $1,078 and $2,042, respectively, and the write-off of deferred tax liabilities of $3,535, $0 and $0, respectively, relating to the transfer of certain assets of the Company's taxable subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has estimated net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of $2,735 and $4,156, respectively, which would begin to expire in tax year 2026. A valuation allowance of $712 has been recorded against deferred tax assets in 2011 based upon projected future taxable income.

(19) Commitments and Contingencies In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere, the Company has the following commitments and contingencies. Certain of the Company's property owner subsidiaries are obligated under certain tenant leases, including leases for non- consolidated entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries. From time to time, the Company is involved directly or indirectly in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on currently available information, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, but could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. In addition, the following two legal proceedings are pending: 89 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and SPCP Group LLC v. Lexington Drake, L.P., et al. (Supreme Court of the State of New York-Index No. 603051/08). On June 30, 2006, one of the Company's property owner subsidiaries and a property owner subsidiary of a then co-investment program respectively sold to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”), (1) a $7,680 bankruptcy damage claim against Dana Corporation for $5,376 (“Farmington Hills claim”) and (2) a $7,727 bankruptcy damage claim against Dana Corporation for $5,680 (“Antioch claim”). Under the terms of the agreements covering the sale of the claims, which were guaranteed by the Company, the property owner subsidiaries are obligated to reimburse Deutsche Bank should the claim ever be disallowed, subordinated or otherwise impaired, to the extent of such disallowance, subordination or impairment, plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date of payment of the purchase price by Deutsche Bank. On October 12, 2007, Dana Corporation filed an objection to both claims. The Company assisted Deutsche Bank and the then holders of the claims in the preparation and filing of a response to the objection. Despite a belief by the Company that the objections were without merit, the holders of the claims, without the Company's consent, settled the allowed amount of the claims at $6,500 for the Farmington Hills claim and $7,200 for the Antioch claim in order to participate in a special settlement pool for allowed intangible unsecured claims and a preferred share rights offering having a value thought to be equal to, or greater than, the reduction of the claims. Deutsche Bank made a formal demand with respect to the Farmington Hills claim in the amount of $826 plus interest, but did not make a formal demand with respect to the Antioch claim. Following a rejection of the demand by the Company, on December 11, 2009, Deutsche Bank and the then holders of the claims filed a summons and complaint with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York for the Farmington Hills and Antioch claims, and claimed damages of $1,200 plus interest from the date of assignment at the rate of 10% per year and expenses, which the Company believes would be its maximum exposure. Together with the property owner subsidiaries, the Company answered the complaint on November 26, 2008 and served numerous discovery requests. After almost a year of inactivity, on March 18, 2010, the defendants and the plaintiffs filed motions for summary judgment and related opposing and supporting motions. On November 22, 2010, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on their motion for summary judgment. The court referred the issue of damages to a special referee to determine the value of plaintiffs' participation in the preferred share rights offering and a settlement pool for allowed intangible unsecured claims so as to be taken into consideration with respect to computation of damages, if any. The Company filed a notice of appeal but withdrew such notice without prejudice to renew after final determination of the damages. The Company intends to appeal the court's ruling if the special referee determines there are damages. The special referee, upon the Company's request, issued a discovery order requiring the plaintiffs to provide requested discovery materials regarding the damages. On March 28, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a motion to vacate the discovery order issued by the special referee. On May 17, 2011, the motion to vacate was denied and discovery on the damage issue continues. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the claims for a variety of reasons, including that (1) after requiring and supporting the defense of the objections to the claims, the holders of the claims arbitrarily settled the claims for reasons based on factors other than the merits, (2) the holders of the claims voluntarily reduced the claims to participate in the preferred share rights offering and certain settlement pools, (3) the contract language that supports the plaintiff's position was specifically negotiated out of the agreement covering the sale of the claims and (4) the plaintiffs have no damages. Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas v. United States General Services Administration (United States District Court for the District of Kansas-Case Number 11-2400-JTM-KMH). On April 4, 2011, one of the Company's property owner subsidiaries entered into a lease termination with Applebee's Services, Inc., pursuant to which Applebee's Services, Inc. made a lease termination payment of $19,910 in October 2011 and vacated the Lenexa, Kansas facility in November 2011. Also on April 4, 2011, the Company's property owner subsidiary entered into a ten year lease with the United States General Services Administration ("GSA") for the same facility. On April 15, 2011, an unsuccessful bidder for the GSA lease filed a protest with the United States Government Accountability Office ("GAO") protesting the award of the lease to the Company's property owner subsidiary. On July 22, 2011, after a full briefing of the protest, the GAO denied the protest. However, prior to the GAO ruling on July 19, 2011, the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, Kansas City filed a claim against the GSA requesting, among other things, an injunction against the award of the ten year lease. The Company has intervened and is monitoring this claim; however, the Company does not anticipate any impact to its financial position or results of operations from this claim. Other. Four of our executive officers have employment contracts and are entitled to severance benefits upon termination by the Company without cause, as defined in the employment contract. 90 LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($000, except share/unit data) (20) Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information In addition to disclosures discussed elsewhere, during 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid $103,427, $114,031 and $132,376, respectively, for interest and $1,289, $1,019 and $2,483, respectively, for income taxes.

The term loan is secured by ownership interest pledges by certain subsidiaries that collectively own a borrowing base of properties. The secured term loan matures in January 2019. The secured term loan requires regular payments of interest only at an interest rate dependent on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined as follows: 2.00% plus LIBOR if its leverage ratio is less than 45%, 2.25% plus LIBOR if its leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.45% plus LIBOR if its leverage ratio is between 50% and 55%, and 2.85% plus LIBOR if its leverage ratio exceeds 55%. Upon the date when the Company obtains an investment grade debt rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the secured term loan is dependent on its debt rating. The Company may not prepay any outstanding borrowings under the secured term loan facility through January 12, 2013, but may prepay outstanding borrowings anytime thereafter, however at premium for the next three years; refinanced its $300,000 secured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in January 2014, but could have been extended to January 2015 at the Company's option, with a new $300,000 secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank, as agent. The new revolving credit facility has the same security as the new secured term loan. The new secured revolving credit facility bears interest at 1.625% plus LIBOR if the Company's leverage ratio, as defined, is less than 45%, 1.875% plus LIBOR if the leverage ratio is between 45% and 50%, 2.125% plus LIBOR if the leverage ratio is between 50% and 55% and 2.375% plus LIBOR if the leverage ratio exceeds 55%. The new secured revolving credit facility matures in January 2015 but can be extended until January 2016 at the Company's option. With the consent of the lenders, the Company can increase the size of the secured revolving credit facility by $225,000 for a total secured revolving credit facility size of $525,000 by adding properties to the borrowing base or admitting additional lenders.
