                               ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     On November 30, 1999, the boards of directors of Carey Diversified and W.P.

Co. and certain affiliates, including Carey Property Advisors, will contribute
certain assets, including the Carey Property Advisor's advisory agreement with
CPA(R):14, into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carey Diversified. A consent
solicitation with respect to such shareholder approval has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The combined company will be renamed W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and will assume
all of Carey Property Advisors' rights and obligations under the advisory
agreement. W.P. Carey & Co. LLC will be managed by the same directors and
employees as W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. W.P. Carey & Co. expects to be listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange under the symbol "WPC." The
completion of the merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Carey
Diversified.

     The advisory agreement between CPA(R):14 and Carey Property Advisors
requires that any assignment of the agreement be approved by the majority of the
directors of CPA(R):14. On November 30, 1999, the directors of CPA(R):14,

                UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     At the end of 1999, a law was enacted that revised several provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code relating to REITs such as CPA(R):14. In relevant part,
these changes include:

          1. For CPA(R):14's tax year beginning January 1, 2001:

        - in order to maintain its status as a REIT, CPA(R):14 is required to
          distribute 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (in contrast to 95
          percent before the change);

        - CPA(R):14 can own stock in a taxable subsidiary corporation. Stock of
          one or more of these subsidiaries can represent up to 20 percent of a
          REIT's total assets. These subsidiaries can provide services,
          including services to its parent REIT's tenants. However, a subsidiary
          cannot directly or indirectly operate or manage lodging or health care
          facilities; and

        - a REIT generally cannot own securities (with some exceptions) having a
          value of more than 10 percent of the total value of the outstanding
          securities of any one issuer.

          2. Effective for all transactions occurring on or after December 17,
     1999, an accrual basis taxpayer, such as CPA(R):14, cannot report gain
     using the installment method of accounting.
