On March 26, 2010, we entered into Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2010, between Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Underwriter”), on the one hand, and Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., Net 3 Acquisition L.P. and us, on the other.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, we agreed to sell to the Underwriter 9,500,000 of our shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock (the “Common Shares”), and we granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,425,000 Common Shares to cover over-allotments.  On March 26, 2010, the Underwriter exercised the full over-allotment option.  The offering closed on March 31, 2010.

The purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by us.  It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Underwriter and us for certain losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Common Shares.

The offering is being made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-157858) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and effective as of September 4, 2009, a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Common Shares dated March 25, 2010, and a final prospectus supplement relating to the Common Shares dated March 26, 2010.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement.
