On January 8, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of Lexington Realty Trust, or the Trust, granted the following annual cash incentive awards to the named executive officers of the Trust.



Name and Title	Award Amount
T. Wilson Eglin, Chief Executive Officer and President	$	720,000
Patrick Carroll, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	$	410,000
E. Robert Roskind, Chairman	$	520,000
Richard J. Rouse, Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer	$	520,000
Joseph S. Bonventre, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary	$	305,000

A portion of the annual cash incentive award equal to one twenty-fourth of the executive's annual base salary was paid in cash on December 15, 2014 pursuant to existing company practice. The remainder of the annual cash incentive award will be paid in January 2015.

Pursuant to the 2011 Equity-Based Award Plan, the Compensation Committee granted annual long-term incentive awards to the named executive officers of the Trust consisting of performance-based non-vested shares and service-based non-vested shares. Vesting for performance-based non-vested shares is tied to the Trust’s total shareholder return relative to other REITs for the three-year period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, and is subject to the named executive officer's continued employment and, as applicable, any employment agreement or written severance policy that is in effect. Performance comparisons for performance-based non-vested shares are made relative to all REITs in the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index and the Trust's competitor peer group (initially consisting of American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.; Chambers Street Properties; EPR Properties; Getty Realty Corp.; Gramercy Property Trust, Inc.; Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation; National Retail Properties, Inc.; Realty Income Corporation; Select Income REIT; Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.; Stag Industrial, Inc.; and W.P. Carey Inc.) on an equal weighted-basis. Threshold performance is set at the 33rd percentile, target performance at the 50th percentile, and maximum performance at the 75th percentile versus the respective group. No performance-based shares are earned for results below the threshold level. Straight-line interpolation is used to determine awards for results between performance levels. A pro-rata portion of the service-based non-vested shares vest annually over three years, and is subject to the named executive officer's continued employment and, as applicable, any employment agreement or written severance policy that is in effect. The annual long-term non-vested shares incentive award is as follows:



	Performance-Based Opportunity			Service-Based Award	Split Performance/ Service ⁽¹⁾
Name	Threshold	Target	Maximum	Service-Based Award	Split Performance/ Service ⁽¹⁾
T. Wilson Eglin	$530,250	$1,060,500	$2,121,000	$454,500	70/30
Patrick Carroll	$238,000	$476,000	$952,000	$204,000	70/30

_________________________________________________

(1) At Target.

The number of performance-based non-vested shares (maximum) and service-based non-vested shares granted was based on the closing price of our common shares on January 8, 2015, which was $11.23 per share; with the number of performance-based non-vested shares rounded to the nearest share and the number of service-based non-vested shares rounded up to the nearest 10 shares. The named executive officers are entitled to receive dividends on service-based non-vested common shares. Dividends payable on performance-based non-vested common shares accrue and are only payable to the named executive officers if and to the extent the shares vest.

The non-vested common share awards granted to each executive are governed by a Nonvested Share Agreement. The foregoing description of the Nonvested Share Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to form of Nonvested Share Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which we refer to as this Current Report.

2. Vesting of Company Shares . Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below:

(a) the Performance Company Shares shall vest and become fully vested after December 31, 20___ (the “End Date”), only if and to the extent (i) the Participant remains in Continuous Service from the Effective Date through the End Date (the “ Performance Period ”), and (ii) the Company attains during the Performance Period the applicable performance goals, as set forth on Appendix A hereto (the “ Performance Goals ”) as determined by the Compensation Committee within thirty (30) days following the End Date.

(b) One-third of the Restricted Shares shall vest and become fully vested on January 1st of e ach of 201__, 201__ and 201__, so long as the Participant remains in Continuous Service from the Effective Date through the applicable vesting date.

Appendix A

The percentage of the Index Shares that will become vested at the end of the Performance Period will be based on the Percentile Rank of the Company’s Total Return relative to the Total Return of each of the companies in the Index for the Performance Period as set forth below:

At least the 75 ^th percentile and including the 100 ^th percentile	100%	Maximum

At least 33 ^rd percentile but less than 50 ^th percentile	25%	Threshold
Less than 33 ^rd percentile	0%

The percentage of the Peer Group Shares that will become vested at the end of the Performance Period will be based on the Percentile Rank of the Company’s Total Return relative to the Total Return of each of the companies in the Peer Group for the Performance Period as set forth below:



Percentile Rank	Number of Peer Group Shares Vested
At least the 75 ^th percentile and including the 100 ^th percentile	100%	Maximum
At least 50 ^th percentile but less than 75 ^th percentile	50%	Target
At least 33 ^rd percentile but less than 50 ^th percentile	25%	Threshold
Less than 33 ^rd percentile	0%

The number of Performance Company Shares that will become vested shall be interpolated on a straight line basis between the Threshold and Target and Target and Maximum set forth in the applicable chart above.

“Index” means the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index (or a successor index selected by the Compensation Committee if such index ceases to exist), except any company that (1) ceases to be publicly traded at any point during the Performance Period or (2) was added to the Index during the Performance Period, shall be excluded from the Index. In lieu of excluding any company from the Index altogether, if the Participant’s compensation is not subject to the limitations of Code Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee may adjust the calculation of Index Total Return to the extent determined by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable discretion.

“Percentile Rank” shall be calculated using the following formula:

Percentile Rank = (N-R)/(N-1)

Where:

N = the number of companies in the Index Group or Peer Group, as applicable, including the Company.

R = the numeric rank of the Company’s Total Return relative to the Index Group or Peer Group, as applicable, where the highest return in the group is ranked the 100 ^th Percentile Rank and the lowest return in the group is ranked the 0 ^th Percentile Rank.

The Percentile Rank shall be rounded to the nearest whole percentage.

“Peer Group” means the competitor peer group consisting of: ___________________________________________. Any such company shall be removed from the Peer Group if it ceases to be publicly traded at any point during the Performance Period. At any time and from time to time, the Compensation Committee may make equitable adjustments to the composition of the Peer Group to manage any extenuating circumstances that may develop during the Performance Period; provided that such modification shall not increase the amount otherwise payable under any Award that is designated as being intended to be exempt from Code Section 162(m).

“Share” means a share of common equity of the Company or a company in the Index or the Peer Group, as applicable.

“Share Price” means, (i) with respect to a purchase, the average closing price on the stock exchange a Share is then listed for the twenty consecutive trading days with the first day of such period on the date of purchase, or (ii) with respect to a sale, the average closing price on the stock exchange a Share is then listed for the twenty consecutive trading days with the last day of such period on the date of sale.

“Total Return” means, with respect to the Performance Period, the compounded total annual return that would have been realized by a shareholder who (1) bought one Share on the first day of the Performance Period at the Share Price, (2) reinvested each dividend or other distribution declared during the Performance Period with respect to such Share (including any other Shares previously received upon reinvestment of dividends or other distribution) in additional Shares at the Share Price on the applicable dividend payment date and (3) sold such Shares on the last day of the Performance Period at the Share Price on such date. As set forth in, and pursuant to, Section 9(d)(ii) of the Plan, appropriate adjustments to the Total Return shall be made to take into account all events contemplated therein that occur during the Performance Period. In calculating Total Return, it is the current intention of the Compensation Committee to use total return to stockholders data available from one or more third party sources, although the Compensation Committee reserves the right to retain the services of a consultant to

analyze relevant data or perform calculations in its reasonable discretion for any calculations required hereunder.
