sellers therein and Corporate Office Properties, L.P. and the Issuer, as amended
on July 16, 1998 and  September  28, 1998;  and (ii) the Service  Company  Asset
Contribution Agreement (the "Asset Contribution  Agreement") dated May 14, 1998,
by and among CRE, KMS Oldco, Inc., CREG,  Corporate Office Properties,  L.P. and
the Issuer. On September 28, 1998, BGE (now Constellation  Energy),  through its
subsidiaries,  contributed  real  property,  interests in entities that own real
property  and a mortgage,  and other  assets to the Issuer in exchange for cash,
assumption of $59.6 million of indebtedness, 6,182,634 Common Shares and 865,566
Preferred  Shares of the Issuer.  The Preferred Shares do not entitle the holder
thereof  to any  vote,  except  (i) as  required  by  applicable  law,  (ii)  in
connection  with an amendment to the  Issuer's  Declaration  of Trust that would
amend, alter or repeal any of the rights, preferences or powers of the Preferred
Shares  or (iii)  the  right to  designate  up to two  members  of the  Board of
Trustees as described below. The Preferred Shares are convertible, beginning two
years after the closing of the  transactions  contemplated  by the  Contribution
Agreement and the Asset Contribution Agreement (the "Transaction"),  into Common
Shares on the basis of 1.8748 Common Shares for each Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment upon certain  events,  in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Articles Supplementary of the Issuer relating to such Preferred Shares filed
with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland.

     On October 22, 1998,  pursuant to the Contribution  Agreement and the Asset
Contribution Agreement, BGE, through its subsidiaries,  contributed interests in
an entity that owns real property and other assets to the Issuer in exchange for
approximately  $9.5 million which was used to pay off outstanding debt,  517,923
Common Shares and 72,509 Preferred Shares.

     On December 30, 1998, pursuant to the Contribution  Agreement and the Asset
Contribution Agreement, BGE, through its subsidiaries,  contributed interests in
an entity that owns real property and other assets to the Issuer in exchange for
approximately  $7.2 million  which was used to pay off  outstanding  debt,  $1.2
million compensation  primarily for tenant  improvements,  330,236 Common Shares
and 46,233 Preferred Shares.

     Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     CRE (formerly  Constellation  Properties,  Inc.) acquired the securities of
the Issuer as an investment and in  consideration  of the assets  transferred to
the Issuer as described in Item 3 above. After the September 28, 1998 closing of
the  Transaction,  the Issuer expanded its Board of Trustees from seven to nine,
and the Issuer elected thereto Edward A. Crooke,  then Chairman of Constellation
Enterprises,  Inc. and Vice Chairman of BGE, and Steven D. Kesler,  President of
Constellation Investments,  Inc. and CRE, each of whom were designated by CRE in
accordance  with its rights as the holder of Preferred  Shares.  Mr. Crooke is a
Class III  Trustee  whose  term  expires in 2003,  and Mr.  Kesler is a Class II
Trustee  whose  term  expires in 2000.  If any  member of the Board of  Trustees
designated by CRE withdraws for any reason, CRE will have the right to designate
such  withdrawing  Truste's  replacement.  Thereafter,  CRE will be  entitled to
designate two Trustees as long as it owns any Preferred  Shares and at least 30%
of the Issuer's outstanding Common Shares, and will be entitled to designate one
Trustee as long as it owns any Preferred  Shares and less than 30% but more than
15% of the  outstanding  Common Shares.  The foregoing  calculations  include as
outstanding the Common Shares owned by CRE as well as the Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of Preferred Shares owned by CRE. Moreover,  if the Issuer fails
at any  time or from  time to time to pay  when  due two  consecutive  quarterly
dividend  payments on the  Preferred  Shares,  then the holders of the Preferred
Shares will be entitled to elect two additional members to the Board of Trustees
of the Issuer to serve until all accrued and unpaid  dividends on the  Preferred
Shares have been paid in full.

     The Issuer has granted registration rights with regard to the Common Shares
to CRE in exchange for the consideration  described in Item 3 above, pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement dated September 28, 1998, by the Issuer and

certain  persons named  therein.  Within six months after the September 28, 1998
closing of the Transaction, the Issuer is obligated to file a shelf registration
statement with regard to the Common Shares issued in the Transaction, as well as
the  Common  Shares  issuable  upon  conversion  of the  Preferred  Shares  (the
"Registrable Securities"). The Issuer is also required, at the demand of holders
of  10% or  more  of the  Registrable  Securities,  to  register  such  holders'
Registrable  Securities,  subject  to the  right  to  defer  the  filing  of the
necessary  registration  statement  for a period  not to  exceed  90 days  under
certain limited  circumstances.  In addition, the Issuer has granted the holders
of the Registrable Securities "piggy-back" rights.

     After the closing of the  Transaction,  Jay H. Shidler  remains as Chairman
and Clay W.  Hamlin,  III  remains as Chief  Executive  Officer  of the  Issuer.
Randall M.  Griffin,  formerly  President  of CRE,  became  President  and Chief
Operating  Officer of the Issuer. In addition,  Roger A. Waesche,  Jr., formerly
Senior Vice  President of Finance of  Constellation  Real Estate,  Inc.,  became
Senior  Vice  President  and Chief  Financial  Officer of the Issuer and John H.
Gurley,  formerly  Vice  President  and General  Counsel of  Constellation  Real
Estate, Inc. became Vice President (currently Senior Vice President) and General
Counsel of the Issuer.

     The  Reporting  Persons  do not have as of the  date  hereof  any  plans or
proposals  that relate to or would result in: (i) the  acquisition of additional
securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an
extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as  a  merger,  reorganization  or
liquidation  involving  the Issuer or any of its  subsidiaries;  (iii) a sale or
transfer  of  a  material  amount  of  assets  of  the  Issuer  or  any  of  its
subsidiaries;  (iv) any change in the present Board of Trustees or management of

trustees or to fill any vacancies of the Board;  (v) any material  change in the
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) any changes in the
Issuer's declaration of trust, by-laws or instruments  corresponding  thereto or
other actions which may impede the  acquisition  of control of the Issuer by any
person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national  securities  exchange or to cease to be  authorized  to be quoted in an
inter-dealer  quotation system of a registered national securities  association;
(ix)  causing  a class of  securities  of the  Issuer  to  become  eligible  for
termination  of  registration  pursuant to Section  12(g)(4)  of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934;  or (x) any  action  similar  to any of those  enumerated
above.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Reporting
Persons reserve the right to change their present intentions with respect to the
matters described in this paragraph.

Common  Shares,   and  one  Preferred  Share,  which  constitutes  100%  of  the
outstanding Preferred Shares.

      Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Other than as listed below, there are presently no contracts, arrangements,
