Item 1.  Changes in Control of Registrant.

                  Not applicable.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  On  June  14,  1996,   CarrAmerica   Realty  Corporation  (the
"Company")  acquired Parkway North Center,  an office park located in Deerfield,
Illinois,  for an aggregate  purchase price of  approximately  $80 million.  The
property was acquired from One Parkway L.L.C., Three Parkway L.L.C, Parkway Land
L.L.C and Parkway  Center L.L.C.  The property was built from 1986 to 1989.  The
property  currently  includes  two  office  buildings  containing  approximately
514,000 square feet of rentable space, and a special use building which contains
approximately  15,000  square feet of common  area space which is not  currently
held out for rent. The Company also acquired  additional land which will support
the  development of at least 900,000 square feet of office space. As part of the
purchase  price,  the  Company  assumed  approximately  $29  million of mortgage
indebtedness  that  bears  interest  at an annual  rate of 7.96% and  matures in
December  2003.  The cash portion of the  purchase  price of  approximately  $51
million was financed  through a draw on the Company's  unsecured  line of credit
with  Morgan  Guaranty  Trust  Company  of New  York  (the  "Line  of  Credit").
Borrowings  under the Line of Credit  currently bear interest at a floating rate
of 175 basis points over LIBOR.

Item 3.  Bankruptcy or Receivership.

                  Not applicable.

Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

                  Not applicable.

Item 5.  Other Events.

                  Parkway North  Center.  As described in Item 2 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K, on June 14, 1996, the Company acquired Parkway North Center.
Because the aggregate book value of the three buildings and additional land that
constitute  Parkway  North  Center are in excess of 10% of the  Company's  total
assets as of June 14,  1996,  additional  information  regarding  Parkway  North
Center is provided below.

                                       2
<PAGE>
                  As of March 31,  1996,  93.7% of the  rentable  square feet of
Parkway North Center was leased.  The Company has no immediate plans to renovate
Parkway  North  Center  and  believes  the  property  is  adequately  covered by
insurance. The average annualized rent per square foot (excluding storage space)
was $15.40 per annum at March 31, 1996.  Since the Company only acquired Parkway
North Center on June 14, 1996,  the percent leased is not available for the past
five years and average annualized rent per square foot (excluding storage space)
for Parkway North Center for the prior five years is not available.

           Three  tenants at Parkway  North  Center  each occupy over 10% of the
rentable square footage. As of March 31, 1996, Fujisawa USA, Inc.  ("Fujisawa"),
a pharmaceutical  company,  occupied approximately 135,000 square feet or 26% of
the  rentable  square  footage  under a lease  which  expires  on May 31,  2000.
Fujisawa's rent per square foot per annum was $22.22 at March 31, 1996. Fujisawa
has one option to renew its lease for five years at 100% of the then  prevailing
market  rental rate.  Fujisawa also has a first right to negotiate for available
space in the building  subordinate to the renewal and expansion  rights of other
tenants in the building. As of March 31, 1996, Alliant Foodservice  ("Alliant"),
a food products distributor,  occupied  approximately 107,000 square feet or 21%
of the rentable  square  footage  under a lease which expires on April 30, 1998.
Alliant's  rent per square foot per annum was $12.50 at March 31, 1996.  Alliant
has one option to extend the term of its lease for a  five-year  term at 100% of
the then  prevailing  market  rental  rate not to exceed  $24 per  square  foot.
Alliant  has an  option to  expand  into  certain  other  space in the  building
subordinate to the renewal and expansion rights of other tenants in the building
at the then  prevailing  market  rental  rate.  As of March  31,  1996,  Clintec
Nutrition  Company  ("Clintec"),  a manufacturer of dietary  products,  occupied
approximately  80,000  square feet or 16% of the rentable  square  footage under
four  leases,  one of  which  expires  on  January  31,  1997  with  respect  to
approximately  40,000 square feet, and three of which expire on November 8, 2000
with respect to an aggregate of approximately 40,000 square feet. Clintec's rent
per square foot per annum was $22.17 at March 31, 1996. Clintec has an option to
extend the term of its two primary  leases each for a five-year  term at 100% of
the then  prevailing  market rental rate.  Clintec has certain  rights to expand
into contiguous space, subject to the right of the existing tenants. Clintec has
the right to  terminate  its lease  with  respect  to 28,531  square  feet after
January 31, 1997 with 12 months  notice and the payment of $21 per square  foot,
the right to terminate its lease with respect to 5,226 square feet after January
31, 1997 with 12 months  notice and the payment of $19.60 per square  foot,  and
the right to terminate its lease with respect to 6,379 square feet after January
31, 1997 with 12 months notice and the payment of $25 per square foot.

                  The current  realty tax rate for Parkway North Center is $7.08
per $100 of assessed  value.  The total annual tax at this rate for 1996 is $1.3
million at an assessed value of $18.8 million.

                  AT&T  Center.  On March 29,  1996,  the Company  acquired  six
office buildings in Pleasanton,  California in San Francisco's East Bay Area, as
reported on a Current  Report on Form 8-K dated March 29, 1996, and amended by a
Form 8-K/A dated May 14, 1996.  The six buildings  also include as part of their
campus two special  purpose  buildings.  The campus,  known as AT&T Center,  was
built in 1988 and contains approximately 1,082,000 square feet of space. Because
the aggregate book value of the six office  buildings and additional  facilities
that  constitute  AT&T Center are in excess of 10% of the Company's total assets
as of June 14, 1996,  additional  information  regarding AT&T Center is provided
below.  The Company has no immediate  plans to renovate AT&T Center and believes
the property is adequately covered by insurance.

                  As of May 31,  1996,  AT&T  Center  was  100%  leased  to AT&T
Resource  Management  Corporation.  AT&T presently subleases 39% of the space to
other users.  The property has been 100% leased to AT&T since the  completion of
each of the buildings in 1988 and 1989. The average  annualized  rent per square
foot was $14.95 per annum at May 31, 1996.  Since the Company only acquired AT&T
Center on March 29, 1996, the average  annualized  rent per square foot for AT&T
Center for the prior five years is not available.

                  AT&T leases  1,082,000  square feet under a lease that expires
in increments  on a  building-by-building  basis  beginning in February 1998 and
ending in April 1999. AT&T's rent per square foot per annum was $14.95 as of May
31, 1996. The lease is a triple net lease with AT&T  responsible  for payment of
all operating expenses except owners' assessment fees, for which AT&T reimburses
the Company. AT&T has one option to extend the term of its lease for 10 years at
90% of the then prevailing market rental rate and two ten-year options to extend
its lease with respect to portions of the basement and parking  facility at 100%
of the  then  prevailing  market  rental  rate.  AT&T's  renewal  rights  can be
exercised on a building-by-building basis.

                    ARTICLE 2: AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL
                    -----------------------------------------


         2.1      Agreement.

         (a)  Purchase  Price.  Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  of this
Agreement, each of the Sellers agrees to sell, grant, assign and convey to Carr,
and Carr,  directly  or through a  designee,  agrees to accept and  assume,  the
Property for a total purchase price (the "Purchase  Price") of $80,000,000.  The
Purchase Price will be paid in part by the assumption of the  obligations of the
borrower  under the Phase I Debt arising from and 

                                       5
<PAGE>
after the Closing Date and, if the KILICO Mortgage cannot be prepaid at Closing,
by the purchase of the KILICO  Mortgage  for an amount equal to the  outstanding
principal amount secured thereby,  and all accrued interest  thereon,  as of the
Closing Date, without premium or prepayment penalty.  The Purchase Price, net of
the principal amount and accrued interest assumed in respect of the Phase I Debt
and the KILICO Mortgage, if applicable, will be paid in cash. The Purchase Price
shall be  delivered at closing to the Joint  Venture,  on behalf of the Sellers.
The Purchase Price shall be applied by the Sellers to retire all debt secured by
liens on any of the Property (except the Phase I Debt and, if the same cannot be
prepaid,  the KILICO Mortgage) and to procure releases for all such liens.  Carr
shall have no responsibility for seeing to the proper allocation of the Purchase
Price among the Sellers, and the Sellers shall have no responsibility for seeing
to the proper allocation of the Purchase Price by Carr among the Parcels.

         (b) Assumption of Phase I Debt.  Carr shall be solely  responsible  for
satisfying  the  conditions set forth in the Phase I Mortgage for the assumption
by Carr or its designee of the Phase I Debt,  including the establishment of any
reserves which are required to be maintained,  any principal  reduction  reserve
and interest  thereon  which may be  required,  any legal  opinions  that may be
required,  and the payment of the servicer's  attorney's fees and any servicer's
fee or charge  which may be  imposed  in  connection  with the  assumption.  Any
reserves or other amounts paid in connection  with the assumption of the Phase I
Debt will not reduce or affect the purchase price.  All conditions to assumption
of the Phase I Debt must be reasonably satisfactory to Carr; provided,  however,
that Carr specifically acknowledges that, if necessary, it will post in cash the
full reserves specified in Section  2.32(b)(vii) of the Phase I Mortgage and any
necessary Principal Reduction Amount and interest thereon required by the second
grammatical  paragraph  of  Section  2.32(b)  of the  Phase  I  Mortgage.  It is
understood,  however, that Carr may wish to post other collateral such as Parcel
III in lieu of such reserves. The Sellers agree to cooperate with Carr in Carr's
efforts to satisfy the  conditions to assumption of the Phase I Debt and to seek
alternatives  to the cash reserve  requirements;  provided,  however,  that such
cooperation  does not require  the  Sellers to incur any  expense or  additional
obligations.

         (c)  Association.  Sellers  will  cooperate  with Carr  during  the Due
Diligence  Period  to take such  actions  as may be  necessary  for Carr to have
voting  control  over the  Association  that is  consistent  with  the  Sellers'
existing control, provided, however, that any inability by the Sellers to obtain
any  necessary  third party  consents to such  actions  shall not  constitute  a
failure of any condition to Carr's obligation to proceed to Closing.


         2.2      Deposit of Earnest Money.

           Within two (2) Business Days after full  execution of this  Agreement
by all parties,  Carr shall  deposit with Chicago Title  Insurance  Company (the
"Title  Company"),  by  delivery of a check or by wire  transfer of  immediately
available  or "next day"  federal  funds,  the amount of  $800,000 as an earnest
money deposit hereunder (such amount, together with any interest earned thereon,
is referred to herein as the "Earnest Money"). The Earnest Money may be invested
by the  Title  Company  in U.S.  government  obligations  or  federally  insured
certificates  of deposit or deposit  accounts at the direction of Carr. All such
investments shall be made using Carr's taxpayer  identification number, and Carr
shall be responsible  for the payment of any investment  fees. The Title Company
shall  hold 

                                       6
<PAGE>

the Earnest  Money  pursuant to a written  earnest money escrow  agreement  (the
"Escrow Agreement"), substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto. The
parties shall execute such  certificates and other written  confirmations as the
Title  Company may  reasonably  require  with regard to the  disposition  of the
Earnest  Money in  accordance  with this  Agreement.  The Title Company shall be
specifically  authorized to disburse the Earnest Money to Carr  immediately upon
receipt of notice from Carr, with a copy to Sellers, on or before April 30, 1996
that  this  Agreement  has been  terminated  in  accordance  with  the  terms of
Paragraph 3.1 hereof and without any consent or  authorization of any Seller and
even despite any objection or potential objection by any Seller, it being agreed
that the Title Company shall be entitled to rely solely upon such notice by Carr
on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence  Period.  After April 30, 1996,
any  disposition  of the Earnest Money shall require the joint  instructions  or
order of the parties,  consistent with this Agreement.  In addition to any other
right or remedy of Carr under this Agreement, the Earnest Money and any earnings
thereon  shall be promptly  refunded  to Carr upon  demand if a Seller  Event of
Default shall have occurred.


                            ARTICLE 3: DUE DILIGENCE
                            ------------------------


         3.1      Due Diligence Period.

           During  the  period  beginning  upon  the date of  execution  of this
Agreement through 6:00 p.m. Central Time on April 30, 1996, subject to extension
for limited  purposes as provided  in  Paragraphs  3.6 or 3.7 hereof)  (the "Due
Diligence Period"),  Carr shall perform its due diligence review and examination
of the Property and all other  aspects of the  proposed  transactions  described
herein, and shall, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period,  determine
in its sole  discretion  whether it is satisfied in all respects with its review
of the information  delivered  pursuant to Paragraph 3.3, the physical condition
of the Property,  the condition of title to the Property and its suitability for
Carr's  intended  investment  therein.  Carr  shall have the  absolute  right to
terminate this Agreement and all obligations of Carr  hereunder,  for any reason
or for no reason,  subject to the last  sentence of  Paragraph  3.6  hereof,  by
giving notice to the Joint Venture, on behalf of the Sellers,  and to the Escrow
Agent as  provided  herein  at or before  the  expiration  of the Due  Diligence
Period. If Carr does not timely give such notice,  then this Agreement shall not
so terminate, and Carr will be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this
Agreement  except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this  Agreement.  Upon any
such  termination  of this  Agreement,  no party  hereto  shall have any further
rights,  obligations  or  liabilities  hereunder  except to the extent  that any
right,  obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives  termination
of this Agreement.


         3.2      Access to Information; Environmental Audits.

           During the Due Diligence Period,  and at all times before the Closing
Date,  each Seller shall provide Carr and its Affiliates,  and their  respective
agents,   employees,    consultants,   and   representatives   (each   a   "Carr
Representative"),  with reasonable access to all files, books, records and other
materials  relating to the Property  and the right to examine,  inspect and make
copies of any or all of such materials. Each Seller shall also grant or cause to
be  granted  to Carr and  each  Carr  Representative  reasonable  access  to the

                                       7
<PAGE>
Property  upon at least 24 hours'  prior  notice to the  Joint  Venture  for the
purpose of conducting surveys,  architectural,  engineering,  geotechnical,  and
environmental  inspections  and soil  tests  (including  sampling  and  invasive
testing for the presence of Hazardous Materials performed in connection with any
Phase  One  or  Phase  Two  environmental   audits  elected  to  be  performed),
feasibility  studies  and any other  inspections,  studies  or tests  reasonably
required  by them;  provided,  however,  that Carr shall  provide to the Sellers
copies of any work plans for any  invasive  work to be conducted on the Property
at least 24 hours prior to conducting such invasive work. Upon the completion of
any such  inspection  or test,  Carr shall restore the Property to its condition
prior to such  inspection or test.  Carr shall  indemnify,  hold  harmless,  and
defend  the   Sellers  and  the   Sellers'   constituent   entities'   partners,
shareholders,  members, officers, directors, employees and agents from any loss,
cause of action,  claim, lien or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
defense  costs)  arising  out of or  resulting  from Carr's  actions  under this
Paragraph 3.2. Carr's indemnity and restoration obligations under this Paragraph
3.2  shall   survive  the   Closing  or  a   termination   of  this   Agreement,
notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this  Agreement.  Prior to entering
the  Property,  Carr and any  contractor  acting  on its  behalf  shall  provide
evidence of liability insurance satisfactory to the Sellers. If this transaction
does not  close,  Carr  shall  provide  the  Sellers  with  copies  of all tests
performed  on the  Property  by Carr  and/or its  contractors  at no cost to the
Sellers.  With reasonable advance notice to the Joint Venture,  on behalf of the
Sellers,  Carr may conduct a  "walk-through"  of tenant  spaces,  subject to the
rights of tenants. Carr shall not inspect the space of tenant(s) of the Property
more than one time without the express  permission of such tenant(s).  The Joint
Venture shall be responsible for giving all necessary or appropriate  notices to
tenants to permit  such  "walk-throughs."  In the course of its  investigations,
Carr may make such  inquiries  to third  parties as Carr may see fit,  including
without  limitation,  inquiries to contractors,  property  managers,  parties to
Service  Contracts,  lenders of debt being purchased or assumed by Carr, tenants
and municipal,  local and other governmental officials and representatives,  and
each  Seller  consents to such  inquiries;  provided,  however,  that Carr shall
coordinate  any such  contact  with any tenants  with the Joint  Venture,  and a
representative  of the Sellers shall have the right (if available) to be present
for each contact between Carr or any Carr  Representative  and any tenant.  Carr
shall not  cause the  Property  to  become  subject  to any liens as a result of
Carr's  activities,  or  the  activities  of  any  Carr  Representative.  Seller
acknowledges  that  Carr may  also  require  direct  contact  with  governmental
officials,  and Seller  agrees to  cooperate  to  provide  direct  access.  Carr
acknowledges   that  Seller  has  advised  Carr  of  the   sensitivity   of  its
relationships  with local  governments  (including the Villages of Deerfield and
Riverwoods)  concerning  the Property,  which could be  jeopardized by premature
disclosure of this transaction, and Carr acknowledges that Carr's initial access
to  governmental  officials will need to be coordinated  with Seller.  If Seller
requests,  a representative  of Seller shall have the right (if available) to be
present  for the  initial  meeting  or other  contact  between  Carr or any Carr
Representative  and  governmental  officials,  and Carr  shall  make  reasonable
efforts to schedule  such initial  meetings at times which are  satisfactory  to
Carr and  Seller.  After  such  initial  contact,  Carr  may deal  with any such
governmental official directly.

Carr or to make available for copying at Sellers  offices any other documents in
the possession of the Sellers that Carr shall reasonably request with respect to
the  economic,  physical,  environmental  and other  conditions of the Property,
including,  without  limitation,  insurance  policies  affecting  the  Property,

or their investors),  general correspondence files relating to the Property, and
any written notices, reports,  citations,  orders, decisions,  correspondence or

documents described above and to continue to provide same during the pendency of

                                       9
<PAGE>
shall  require the Sellers to furnish  any  information  to Carr in a form other
than the  form in  which  such  Seller  customarily  prepares  or  retains  that
information.


         3.4      Tenant Estoppels

         Each Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Carr, no later than
5 Business  Days before the Closing  Date,  estoppel  certificates  from tenants
under all Leases,  substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto (the

covering  15,000  square  feet or more of leased  area in any  building  and for
Leases in the  aggregate  representing  not less than 85% of the leased  area of
Phase I and Phase  III  collectively,  and (B)  estoppel  certificates  from the

all Leases that are not  covered by Tenant  Estoppels,  in each case  consistent

(ii) all of the Leases shall be in full force and effect and no material default

not more than  15,000  square  feet of the leased area of Phase I and Phase III,
collectively, fail either of such conditions.


         3.5      Service Contracts

         During the Due Diligence Period,  the parties will endeavor to agree as
to which Service  Contracts Carr will assume and which Service Contracts will be
terminated  by the  Sellers at  Closing.  The  Sellers  will not be  required to
terminate any Service  Contracts in breach of such Service Contract or otherwise
prior to the time  termination is permitted  under such Service  Contract.  Carr
will assume the obligations  arising from and after the Closing Date under those
Service  Contracts  that are not in  default  as of the  Closing  Date and which
either are not  terminable  at Closing or which the Sellers and Carr have agreed
will not be terminated. The Sellers shall be responsible for terminating,  as of
a date no later than 30 days after Closing, all Service Contracts which by their
terms can be so terminated and that Carr does not specifically  agree in writing
prior to the end of the Due Diligence  Period to assume.  All Service  Contracts
that  cannot be  terminated  as of a date that is no more than 30 days after the
Closing  Date must be  satisfactory  to Carr.  The Sellers  shall  terminate  at
Closing,  and the  Partnership  shall not assume,  any  property  management  or
leasing  agreements  affecting all or any portion of the  Property.  The Sellers
shall indemnify and hold Carr harmless from any losses, costs, claims,  actions,
liabilities  or expenses  incurred by or asserted  against Carr  relating to the
termination of such contracts.  Carr's  obligation to close this  transaction is
subject to the condition that, as of the Closing Date, any Service  Contracts to
be assigned to Carr which are  material to the  operation  of the  Property  and
cannot be replaced without a material adverse effect on the Property's financial
condition shall be in full force and effect, unmodified, and free from default.

<PAGE>
         3.6      Delivery of Title Commitment, Survey and UCC Searches

         Carr  acknowledges  that the Sellers have  furnished to it the existing
title insurance  policies listed on Exhibit H-1 attached  hereto,  all documents
referred to in the existing  title policies  (other than  documents  relating to
mortgage  loans which will be paid off on the Closing  Date),  and the  existing
surveys listed on Exhibit H-2 (collectively,  the "Existing Title Information").
Within  thirty (30) days after the date  hereof,  the Sellers  shall cause to be
prepared  and  delivered  to  Carr  (i)  a  current,   effective  commitment  or
commitments of the Title Company to issue one or more owner's Title Policies (as
hereinafter  defined),  on the American  Land Title  Association  standard  form
(collectively,  the "Title Commitment"), in the aggregate amount of $80,000,000,
with Carr or its  designee  as the  proposed  insured and  accompanied  by true,
complete,  and  legible  copies  of  all  documents  referred  to in  the  Title
Commitment;  (ii) a current  ALTA-ACSM  as-built  survey or  surveys of the Real
Property meeting the minimum detail requirements of a "Class A" urban survey and
including  the  items  indicated  on Table A  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  H-3
(collectively the "Survey") including a certification  addressed to Carr, in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit H-4; and (iii) copies of Uniform Commercial Code
financing  statement  searches  in the name of each  Seller  and the name of the
Project  issued  by a  company  acceptable  to  Carr  ("UCC  Searches").  If the
foregoing are not delivered to Carr within such thirty (30) day period,  the Due
Diligence  Period shall be extended on a  day-for-day  basis for each day beyond
the end of such thirty (30) day period until all of the foregoing are delivered;
provided,  however,  that Carr may not terminate this Agreement  under Paragraph
3.1 hereof  after  April 30, 1996 for any reason  other than  Carr's  reasonable
dissatisfaction  with the state of title reflected thereon or the failure of any
other condition  precedent to Carr's  obligation to consummate the  transactions
contemplated hereby.


         3.7      Title Review and Cure


         During  the Due  Diligence  Period,  Carr  shall  review  title  to the
Property as disclosed by the Existing Title  Information,  the Title Commitment,
the Survey and the UCC Searches. Carr shall be entitled to object to any matters
shown on the (i) Existing Title Information, or (ii) Title Commitment, Survey or
the UCC  Searches,  in its sole  discretion  (or,  after April 30, 1996,  in its
reasonable  discretion) by a written notice of objections delivered to the Joint
Venture,  on  behalf of the  Sellers,  at or before  the  expiration  of the Due
Diligence  Period, as the same may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 3.6 hereof.
Carr shall deliver to Sellers a  non-binding  preliminary  report  regarding the
acceptability  or  unacceptability  of  matters  shown  in  the  Existing  Title
Information  within  twenty  (20) days after the date  hereof.  Each Seller will
cooperate  with  Carr in  curing  any  objections  Carr may have to title to the
Property or other matters relating to the Property;  provided, however, that the
Sellers  shall have no obligation  to cure any title  objections  other than (A)
liens and  security  interests  created  by,  under or through any Seller or (B)
liens and  security  interests  created by,  under or through any third  parties
which  liens and  security  interests  Sellers  shall cause to be released on or
before the Closing Date;  and provided,  further,  that (1) Sellers shall not be
required to secure a release of the liens  securing  the Phase I Debt or, if the
same cannot be prepaid in full at Closing,  the KILICO  Mortgage and (2) Sellers
shall not be required to expend more than  $50,000 in the  aggregate  to release
liens and security  interests of the kind referred to in clause (B) above.  Each
Seller  further 

                                       11
<PAGE>
agrees to remove all  exceptions or  encumbrances  to title that arise or become
indexed of record on or after the date of this  Agreement  that  result from the
actions or inactions of any Seller and to which Carr reasonably  objects.  As to
any other  exceptions  or objections  raised by Carr,  the Sellers shall have 10
Business  Days from the receipt of Carr's  notice of  objections  either to have
such  exceptions  or  objections  removed or, if  acceptable to Carr, to provide
affirmative title insurance protection for such exceptions satisfactory to Carr,
in Carr's sole  discretion.  If any Seller  fails  within  such 10 Business  Day
period either to provide for the removal of such  exceptions or objections or to
obtain affirmative title insurance  protection for such exceptions or objections
satisfactory  to Carr,  in  Carr's  sole  discretion,  then  Carr  may  elect to
terminate this Agreement by delivering  written notice to the Joint Venture,  on
behalf of the Sellers,  within 10 Business Days  following  such period (and the
Due Diligence Period shall be extended,  as necessary,  to be co-terminous  with
the  expiration  of the second of such 10 Business  Day  periods).  If the Title
Company revises any Title Commitment, or the surveyor revises the Survey, to add
or modify  exceptions,  or to add or modify  the  conditions  to  obtaining  any
Endorsement  (as  defined in  Paragraph  3.8)  requested  by Carr during the Due
Diligence Period,  then Carr may terminate this Agreement if provision for their
removal or modification prior to Closing reasonably  satisfactory to Carr is not
made.  Carr shall be deemed to have  approved any title  exception to which Carr
did not object, as provided above, or to which Carr objected without terminating
this Agreement.


         3.8      Delivery of Title Policy at Closing

         As a condition to Carr's  obligation to close,  the Title Company shall
deliver to Carr at Closing an owner's  policy or policies of title  insurance on
the  Standard  ALTA Form B-1970  (revised  10-17-70  and  10-17-84)  (the "Title
Policies"), with extended coverage (i.e., with ALTA General Exceptions 1 through
5 deleted), issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording
of the Deed (as  defined  herein),  in the full  amount of the  Purchase  Price,
containing the  Endorsements  (as defined below),  and insuring Carr as owner of
good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, subject
only to the Permitted  Exceptions  (as defined  below).  "Permitted  Exceptions"
means  exceptions  created or  suffered  by Carr,  exceptions  approved  by Carr
pursuant to this Agreement; the liens securing the Phase I Debt; the lien of the
KILICO  Mortgage (if the same cannot be prepaid at  Closing);  real estate taxes
for  1995  and  subsequent  years,  not yet  due and  payable;  and  tenants  in
possession  as tenants  only under the Leases  without any option to purchase or
acquire an interest in the Property.  "Endorsements"  means,  to the extent such
endorsements  are available under the laws of the state in which the Property is
located, the following endorsements: (1) owner's comprehensive;  (2) access; (3)
survey (accuracy of survey) (4) location (survey legal matches title legal); (5)
separate  tax lot; (6) legal lot;  (7)  contiguity;  (8) as to Phase I and Phase
III, zoning 3.1, with parking  (subject to the violations noted in Paragraph 6.3
hereof) and loading docks; and (9) such other endorsements normally available in
similar  transactions  as Carr may  reasonably  require during the Due Diligence
Period  based  on its  review  of the  Existing  Title  Information,  the  Title
Commitment, the Survey and the UCC Searches. Carr will pay any additional charge
required by the Title Company to issue the Endorsements described in clauses (8)
and (9) of the preceding sentence.  Each Seller shall execute at Closing an ALTA
Extended  Coverage  Statement in such form as the Title Company shall reasonably
require for the  issuance of the Title  Policy and the  Endorsements.  The Title
Policy may be

delivered  after  the  Closing  if at the  Closing  the Title  Company  issues a
currently  effective,  duly-executed  "marked-up" Title Commitment in acceptable
form and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of
the "marked-up" Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date.


         3.9      Title and Survey Costs

         The  Sellers  shall  pay for  the  cost of the  Survey,  including  any
revisions  necessary  to make the  Survey  conform to the  requirements  of this
Agreement,  the premium for the Title Policy, including the premium for extended
coverage and the Endorsements (other than the Endorsements for which Carr agrees
to pay in Paragraph 3.8 hereof), and the cost of the UCC Searches.

         4.1      Preservation of Business

         From the date of this  Agreement  until the Closing  Date,  the Sellers
shall cause the Property to be operated only in the ordinary and usual course of
business and consistent with their past  practices,  shall maintain the Property
in  its  condition  as  of  the  date  hereof,   shall   preserve  the  existing
relationships of each Seller with suppliers, independent contractors, employees,
parties under Service Contracts,  and other Persons material to the operation of
the Property,  shall perform their material obligations under the Leases and all
other material agreements affecting the Property, including, without limitation,
the  Annexation  Agreement,  the  Benthaus  Agreement,   the  Declaration,   the
Riverwoods Declaration and the Water Agreement, and shall not take or permit any
action or omission which would cause any of the representations or warranties of
the Sellers contained herein to become inaccurate in any material respect or any
of the covenants of the Sellers contained herein to be breached.


         4.2      Maintenance of Insurance

         Each Seller shall continue to carry its existing  insurance through the
Closing Date.


         4.3      Exclusivity

         Each Seller  agrees that during the  pendency of this  Agreement,  such
Seller shall not,  directly or indirectly,  solicit or provide any  confidential
information  to, or participate in any  discussions  or  negotiations  with, any
Person  other  than  Carr  concerning  any  sale or  other  similar  transaction
involving the Property.

         4.4      New Contracts; Water Agreement Termination

         Without Carr's prior written consent in each instance, the Sellers will
not enter into or amend,  terminate, or grant concessions regarding any contract
or agreement  that will be an  obligation  affecting  the Property or binding on
Carr after the Closing except  contracts  entered into in the ordinary course of
business that are terminable  without cause on 30-days' notice or less (and each
Seller agrees to terminate any such  contracts by the Closing Date if Carr gives
the Joint Venture notice 30 days before the Closing Date).

         It is understood that the Property is presently served by Lake Michigan
water provided by the Village of Deerfield pursuant to the Water Agreement.  The
water serving the Property is furnished from a reservoir located off-site at the
southeast corner of the Property.  The Villages of Deerfield and Riverwoods (the
"Villages") have proposed to construct a second water reservoir located off-site
on  the  west  side  of  Saunders   Road,   which  second   reservoir   will  be
cross-connected  to the  existing  water  system  associated  with the  existing
reservoir.  It is expected  that the second  reservoir  and "loop" formed by the
cross connect between reservoirs will provide additional back-up safety capacity
and will obviate the need for the water gallonage use limits presently set forth
in the Water  Agreement.  The  Villages  have  requested  that the  Property and
several other private owners  participate in the cost of the water  reservoir up
to a maximum cost to the Property of $170,000.  The Villages  have also proposed
that the  Property and the other  private  owners who  participate  in the water
system join in an agreement which would terminate the Water Agreement and remove
the water gallonage use limits set forth therein.  Carr agrees to participate in
the  proposed  cost  sharing  and  agreement  modification,  subject  to  Carr's
approval, acting reasonably, of any agreement evidencing such modification.  The
Sellers will not enter into any agreement  modifying the Water Agreement without
Carr's  approval,  as  aforesaid.  The Sellers will keep Carr informed as to the
status of the Water Agreement modification.  If the Water Agreement modification
is not  finalized  by the  Closing,  then  finalization  of the Water  Agreement
modification  and payment of the Property's  share of the cost sharing (up to an
amount not to exceed $170,000) shall be Carr's responsibility.


         4.5      Leasing Arrangements

         The Sellers will not amend, terminate,  grant concessions regarding, or
enter into any Lease unless Carr has given its prior  written  consent  thereto,
which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld  (and such consent shall be
assumed if Carr fails to object or otherwise reply within five (5) Business Days
of the  applicable  Seller's  notice  and  delivery  to Carr  of (i) a true  and
complete  copy of the proposed  Lease or  amendment,  and (ii) such  information
regarding  the  tenant,   business  terms,  concession  arrangements  and  other
information as Carr may reasonably request.

              ARTICLE 6A: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS
              -----------------------------------------------------

         Each Seller represents and warrants to Carr as follows:


         6.1      Leases and Rent Roll

         The  documents  constituting  the  Leases  that are  delivered  to Carr
pursuant to this Agreement will be true,  correct and complete  copies of all of
the Leases  affecting the  Property,  including all  amendments  and  guarantees
related thereto.  There are and will be no Leases other than Leases reflected on
the Rent Roll or approved by Carr pursuant to Paragraph 4.5 hereof.  To the best
knowledge of the Sellers,  all  information  set forth in the Rent Roll is true,
correct,  and  complete in all material  respects as of its date.  Except as set
forth in the Rent Roll,  there are no leasing or other fees or commissions  due,
nor will  any  become  due,  in  connection  with any  Lease or any  renewal  or
extension or expansion of any Lease,  and no understanding or agreement with any
party exists  which will  survive the Closing and become  binding on Carr or the
Project as to payment of any leasing commissions or fees regarding future leases
or as to the  procuring  of  tenants.  To such  Seller's  knowledge,  except  as
disclosed  in the Rent  Roll,  no tenants  have  asserted,  nor are  there,  any
defenses  or offsets to rent  accruing  after the  Closing  Date and no monetary
default or other material  breach exists on the part of any tenant.  Such Seller
has not received any notice of any default or breach on the part of the landlord
under  any  Lease  which  remains  uncured,  nor,  to the best of such  Seller's
knowledge, does there exist any such default or breach.

         Except as set forth in the Rent Roll,  all of the Sellers'  obligations
to  construct   tenant   improvements   or  reimburse  the  tenants  for  tenant
improvements  under the Leases  have been paid and  performed  in full,  and all
concessions from any Seller, as the landlord under any Lease, have been paid and
performed in full.  All rental  abatements  under any Leases with respect to the
periods prior to Closing will have been fully applied to rent payments  accruing
prior to Closing or paid in cash to the applicable tenants.  Except as disclosed
on the  Rent  Roll,  no  tenants  under  any  Leases  will be  entitled  to rent
abatements for any periods from and after the Closing.  The Rent Roll identifies
all  renewal and  expansion  options of the  tenants  under all Leases.  No such
tenant has an option to  purchase  all or any part of the  Property  (including,
without  limitation,  any rights of first  offer,  rights of first  negotiation,
rights of first refusal or similar rights).


         6.2      Service Contracts and Operating Statements

         The list of  Service  Contracts  attached  hereto as Exhibit N is true,
correct, and complete.  Neither any Seller nor, to each Seller's knowledge,  any
other party is in default in any material respect under any Service Contract. To
each Seller's knowledge,  the operating and financial statements to be delivered
to Carr pursuant to this Agreement will 

                                       15
<PAGE>
fairly  represent  the income and expense  (operating  and capital)  incurred in
connection  with such  Seller's  ownership,  operation,  and  management  of the
Property for the periods  indicated and will be true,  correct,  and complete in
all material  respects.  The operating  budgets prepared for 1996 fairly reflect
each Seller's good faith estimates of real estate taxes,  insurance premiums and
operating expenses for the Property for 1996. The Sellers are collecting monthly
operating expense  pass-through amounts from tenants under Leases based on those
estimates.


         6.3      No Violations

         To each Seller's  knowledge,  neither the Property nor any Seller is in
violation in any material respect of any of its obligations under the Annexation
Agreement, the Benthaus Agreement, the Declaration,  the Riverwoods Declaration,
the Water Agreement or the articles,  bylaws and other operational  documents of
the Association.  The Sellers have disclosed to Carr that the Additional  County
Dedication  and  installation  of a signal light at  Deerfield  Road and Parkway
North  Boulevard  remain to be performed  under the Annexation  Agreement.  Each
Seller  has not  received  any  written  notice  from any  insurance  company or
underwriter  of  any  defect  that  would   materially   adversely   affect  the
insurability  of the Property or cause an increase in insurance  premiums.  Each
Seller has not received any written  notice of violations or alleged  violations
of any laws, rules, regulations or codes with respect to the Property which have
not been corrected to the  satisfaction of the issuer of the notice,  except the
Sellers  have  disclosed  to the Village of  Deerfield  that Phase I may have 18
fewer  than the  required  number  of  parking  spaces  (the  "Phase  I  Parking
Shortage").


         6.4      Environmental

         To each Seller's  knowledge,  except as disclosed in the reports listed
on  Exhibit  R, (as to which  Sellers  make no  representation  or  warranty  of
accuracy) (i) such Seller has not received any written notice  pertaining to any
violation of  Environmental  Laws (as defined  below) related to the Property or
the presence or release of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on or from the
Property,  (ii)  such  Seller  has not  manufactured,  introduced,  released  or
discharged  from or onto the  Property  any  Hazardous  Materials  or any  toxic
wastes, substances or materials (including,  without limitation,  asbestos, PCBs
or urea  formaldehyde  insulation),  and  (iii)  such  Seller  has not  used the
Property for the  generation,  treatment,  storage,  handling or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Laws;  provided,  however,
that the foregoing clauses (i) (as it relates to Hazardous Materials),  (ii) and
(iii) are subject to an  exception  for (a) de minimis  uses in  operations  and
maintenance as are customary at office properties  similar to the Property,  and
(b)  Hazardous  Materials  in  test  laboratories  operated  by  tenants  of the
Property.  The Sellers make no  representation  regarding the  compliance of any
tenant with applicable  Environmental  Laws,  except that the Sellers  represent
that they have no knowledge of any violation by any tenant of any  Environmental
Laws. The term  "Environmental  Laws" includes  without  limitation the Resource
Conservation  and  Recovery  Act and the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response
Compensation  and Liability Act and other federal laws governing the environment
as in effect on the date of this  Agreement  together  with  their  implementing
regulations  and  guidelines  as of the date of this  Agreement,  and all 

                                       16
<PAGE>

state,  regional,  county,  municipal  and other  local  laws,  regulations  and
ordinances  that are  equivalent or similar to the federal laws recited above or
that purport to regulate  Hazardous  Materials.  The term "Hazardous  Materials"
includes  petroleum,  including  crude oil or any  fraction  thereof,  petroleum
byproducts,  natural  gas,  natural  gas  liquids,  liquefied  natural  gas,  or
synthetic  gas usable for fuel (or  mixtures  of natural  gas or such  synthetic
gas),  and any substance,  material  waste,  pollutant or contaminant  listed or
defined as hazardous or toxic under any Environmental Law. Except for claims for
breaches of the  representations  set forth  above that are  brought  within the
period prescribed by Paragraph 14.1 hereof,  Carr waives the right to assert any
private  right of action it may have  against  Sellers or any of their  members,
partners, officers,  directors,  employees or Affiliates, in their capacities as
such, under any applicable Environmental Law.


         6.5      Disclosure

         To each Seller's  knowledge,  other than this Agreement,  the documents
delivered at Closing pursuant hereto, the Permitted  Exceptions,  the Leases and
Service  Contracts  disclosed  pursuant  to  Paragraph  3.3  hereof,  the  Water
Agreement,  the Annexation Agreement,  the Benthaus Agreement,  the Declaration,
the Riverwoods  Declaration,  conditions,  covenants and  restrictions  that are
recorded  against the  Property,  and any other items  disclosed  to Carr by the
Sellers in writing  during the Due  Diligence  Period,  there are, and as of the
Closing Date there will be, no contracts or  agreements  of any kind relating to
the  Property  to which any Seller or its  agents is a party and which  would be
binding on Carr or the Property after Closing,  including,  without  limitation,
brokerage,  management  or leasing  agreements,  except  contracts or agreements
which are  terminable  by either  party  thereto on 30 days'  notice or less and
which,  singly or in the aggregate,  would not have a material adverse effect on
Carr, on all or any part of the Property, or on the use, occupancy, operation or
condition (financial or otherwise) thereof. No consent of any party,  including,
without limitation,  the lender of the Phase I Debt, is necessary as a condition
to the valid  termination,  effective  as of the  Closing  Date,  of any Service
Contracts,  leasing,  brokerage or management  agreements,  or other  agreements
affecting  the  Property,  except  that the Phase I Lender may have the right to
approve a change in the party managing the Property.


         6.6      ERISA

         No Seller  is,  nor is any  Seller  acting on behalf  of, an  "employee
benefit  plan"  within the meaning of Section  3(3) of the  Employee  Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended  ("ERISA"),  which is subject to Title I
of ERISA,  a "plan"  within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended,  or an entity deemed to hold "plan assets"  within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 of any such employee benefit plan or plans.

         6.7      Zoning; Development Rights.

         The  Property  is  zoned in the I-1  Office,  Research  and  Restricted
Industrial  PUD zoning  district in  Deerfield,  Illinois,  which allows for the
operation of the Improvements as currently conducted.  Except for an application
to amend the I-1  designation  to allow senior  citizen  housing and health care
facilities  as a permitted  or special use, the Sellers have no knowledge of any
pending or threatened zoning change. In 1989, the Village of Deerfield  approved
a final site plan for the  development  of the vacant land west of Three Parkway
North with an office  building  ("Phase IV")  comprising  approximately  216,973
square feet of Gross Leasable Area. Such Phase IV site plan approval  expired by
its terms and is not presently in effect. The Sellers have not pledged, assigned
or otherwise  transferred  any of the  development  rights  associated  with the
Property,   except  for  (i)  collateral  assignments  to  mortgage  lenders  in
connection  with loans  which will be paid in full,  assigned  and  assumed,  or
purchased  in  connection  with  this  Agreement,  or (ii) the  transfer  to the
Marriott Lot of (a) not more than 171,090  square feet of Gross Leasable Area in
development  rights  (subject to the  requirement  that not less than 32% of the
land area of the Marriott Lot be at all times maintained as landscaped area) and
(b) rights to 50,000  gallons of water  allocated to the Project under the Water
Agreement.  All existing development has received all necessary approvals of the
Association.


         6.8      Condemnation.

         Other than a request by the Authority for the donation of an additional
1.3 acres of the  Common  Area  abutting  Parcel  I, as  depicted  on  Exhibit I
attached hereto (the "Toll Road Expansion  Parcel"),  there are not pending nor,
to the Sellers'  knowledge have there been  threatened,  any proceedings for the
condemnation  or taking of any portion of the  Property by any  governmental  or
quasi-governmental  authority,  by  exercise  of  rights  of  eminent  domain as
otherwise  (each a "Taking").  The Sellers have provided  copies of all material
written  notices  and   communications,   including  any  notices  alleging  any
violations of any agreements or undertakings of Sellers,  regarding such request
by the Authority.  The Sellers hereby disclose to Carr that it remains obligated
to dedicate a 10-foot  strip of land along  Saunders Road fronting the Clubhouse
Parcel  pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8 of the Annexation  Agreement
(the "Additional County Dedication").


         6.9      Sellers.

         Each of the  Sellers  is a  Delaware  limited  liability  company,  the
managing member of which is the Joint Venture, as to a 99% member interest,  and
the other member of which is K/Parkway Limited Partnership,  an Illinois limited
partnership,  as to a 1% member  interest.  The signature of the partners of the
Joint  Venture set forth on the  signature  pages hereof are  sufficient to bind
each of the Sellers.

<PAGE>
         6.10     Authority, Enforceability, Etc.

         This  Agreement  has been duly  executed  and  delivered by each of the
Sellers  and by each of the  general  partners  of the  members  of each  Seller
pursuant to authority  legally  adequate  therefor,  and each of the Sellers has
been and is authorized  and empowered by all necessary  persons having the power
of direction  over it to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the
transactions  contemplated herein and therein. The Agreement is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each of the Sellers,  enforceable  against each of the
Sellers in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium, or similar laws
affecting  the  enforcement  of  creditors'  rights  generally  and  by  general
principles  of  equity  (regardless  of  whether  enforcement  is  sought  in  a
proceeding in equity or at law).


         6.11     No Litigation.

         There are not  pending,  and the Sellers  have not received any written
notice of any threatened, actions, suits, claims, or proceedings in any court or
by or before any  governmental  agency (a) affecting or challenging any Seller's
ability to enter into and perform its  obligations  under this  Agreement or (b)
related to or arising out of the ownership,  management, leasing or operation of
the Property  which would have a material and adverse  effect on the  ownership,
management,  leasing or operation of the  Property by Carr,  or (c)  asserting a
right of a tenant under any of the Leases to terminate its lease or to offset or
reduce the rent it is obligated to pay under its Lease, and the Sellers have not
received written notice of any intention by any  governmental  authority to take
any  action  by  reason  of  non-compliance  with  any  applicable  governmental
requirement. The Sellers have informed Carr that Vincent R. Vecchione, a limited
partner  in ESP  Limited  Partnership  ("ESP"),  a general  partner of the Joint
Venture,  has filed a lawsuit (the "Vecchione  Action")  alleging that Vecchione
was not given  proper  notice and  opportunity  to  exercise  certain  rights to
purchase a  partnership  interest in ESP. The Sellers  agree that the  Vecchione
Action is not a limitation of the foregoing warranty.


         6.12     Mechanics' Liens.

         Sellers represent and warrant that there are no construction  contracts
relating  to the  performance  of any  tenant  improvement  or other work at the
Property currently being performed by Seller (i.e., not by tenants).  Except for
the Service Contracts,  no contracts exist which were entered into by Seller or,
to Seller's knowledge,  any tenants, that are or would become binding on Carr or
the Property at or subsequent to Closing.  All  contractors  and materialmen who
are or were contracted by the Sellers or its authorized  agents to furnish labor
and/or  materials to the Sellers to improve the Property  prior to Closing shall
be paid by the Sellers on a current  basis for all amounts  properly  payable to
them for work performed or services rendered prior to Closing.

         6.13     No Assessments

         Except as shown on the  assessment  notices (if any)  delivered to Carr
pursuant  to  Section  3.3(xi),  the  Existing  Title  Policies  and  the  Title
Commitments,  the Sellers have not received any notice of, and have no knowledge
of, any pending or threatened liens,  special  assessments (except to the extent
described in Paragraph  4.4 hereof) or  increases in assessed  valuations  to be
made against the Property by any governmental authority.


         6.14     Title to Property

         The Sellers represent and warrant to Carr that, to their knowledge they
are,  collectively  the holders of good and  marketable  fee simple title to the
Land  and  Improvements  and the  holders  of  good  title  to all of the  other
Property,  in each case subject to no claims,  liens interests,  restrictions or
other rights not disclosed in the Existing Title  Information  and the Rent Roll
delivered to Carr pursuant to Paragraph 3.3 hereof; provided,  however, that the
Sellers'  liability for any breach of this Section 6.16 shall be limited to such
amount  as it is able  in good  faith  to  recover  under  its  title  insurance
policies.

         6.15     Limitation.

         The Sellers have not made any  representations  or  warranties  to Carr
concerning this  transaction or the Property other than any  representations  or
warranties expressly set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement;  AND THE PROPERTY
WILL BE SOLD AND DELIVERED TO CARR IN AN "AS IS" CONDITION, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY
AS TO FITNESS FOR A  PARTICULAR  USE OR  MERCHANTIBILITY,  AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER
WARRANTY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

         As used in this Agreement, the phrases "to Sellers' knowledge," "to the
best of  Sellers'  knowledge,"  "known by  Seller"  or other  phrases of similar
import shall mean only matters actually known by Betsy Henschel, Steve Adamczyk,
Harlan  Stanley or Mike  Watts.  It is further  understood  that Carr waives any
right of action it may otherwise have against such individuals,  but not against
the Sellers,  should any  representations  or  warranties  be incorrect  for any
reason.


               ARTICLE 6B: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CARR
               --------------------------------------------------


         6.16     ERISA

         Carr is not,  nor is Carr  acting on behalf  of, an  "employee  benefit
plan"  within the  meaning of Section  3(3) of the  Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of 1974,  as  amended  ("ERISA"),  which is  subject to Title I of
ERISA, a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code
of 1986,  as  amended,  or an entity  deemed to hold  "plan  assets"  within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 of any such employee benefit plan or plans.

<PAGE>
         6.17     Authority, Enforceability, Etc.

         Carr is duly  organized,  validly  existing  and in good  standing as a
corporation  under  the laws of the State of  Delaware  and is  qualified  to do
business in all  jurisdictions  in which the conduct of its business  makes such
qualification necessary.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
Carr pursuant to authority legally adequate  therefor,  and Carr has been and is
authorized and empowered by all necessary  persons having the power of direction
over it to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the  transactions
contemplated  herein and therein.  The Agreement is the legal, valid and binding
obligation  of Carr,  enforceable  against  Carr in  accordance  with its terms,
except as enforceability  may be limited by applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization,  moratorium,  or  similar  laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of
creditors' rights generally and by general  principles of equity  (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).



             ARTICLE 7: CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF CARR
             ------------------------------------------------------

         The  obligation  of Carr to  consummate  the  Closing is subject to the
fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing of each of the following conditions, and
failure to satisfy any such condition shall excuse and discharge all obligations
of Carr to carry out the  provisions of this Agreement and shall entitle Carr to
a full return of the Earnest Money,  unless such failure is waived in writing by
Carr:


         7.1      Representations and Warranties

         The  representations  and  warranties  made  by  the  Sellers  in  this
Agreement  shall be true and complete in all material  respects when made and on
and as of the Closing Date, with the same effect as though such  representations
and warranties were made on and as of the Closing Date. In the event at any time
prior to the Closing any of the Sellers learn or have reason to believe that any
of the aforesaid representations and warranties made by the Sellers is no longer
true or valid,  such party  shall  promptly  notify  Carr in writing and therein
specify  the  factors  rendering  or likely to render  such  representations  or
warranties untrue or invalid. The Sellers shall not have liability or obligation
by reason of any  representation  being  untrue or invalid when made or becoming
untrue or invalid after the date of this Agreement, unless the Sellers knew such
representation  to be untrue or invalid when made or caused such  representation
to become untrue or invalid through their fraud or intentional  acts;  provided,
however, that Carr retains the right to terminate this Agreement for the failure
of any such  representation to be true and, if such  representation  shall be or
become untrue due to the knowing misrepresentation, fraud or intentional acts of
any Seller,  to be reimbursed  by the Sellers for the costs  incurred by Carr in
performing its due diligence.

         7.2      Legal Proceedings

         No action or proceeding by or before any  governmental  authority shall
have been instituted or threatened (and not subsequently  dismissed,  settled or
otherwise  terminated)  which is  reasonably  expected to restrain,  prohibit or
invalidate  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or  to  impose
liability  on Carr or its  designee or a lien on the  Property  not insured over
under the  Title  Policy,  other  than an action  or  proceeding  instituted  or
threatened by Carr or any action to acquire the Toll Road Expansion Parcel.


         7.3      No Material Adverse Changes or Developments

         There shall not have been any material adverse change or development in
or  affecting  the  condition,  financial or  otherwise,  of the Property or the
business affairs of any Seller.  Without limiting what may be a material adverse
change,  a change having a financial  impact of greater than a five percent (5%)
reduction in net operating  income shall be regarded as material  adverse change
for these purposes.


         7.4      Phase I Debt; Other Debt

         At Closing,  Carr shall have obtained the unconditional written consent
of the CMBS  Lender  under  the Phase I Debt to the  assumption  by Carr of such
Phase I Debt as set forth in  Paragraph  2.1(b)  above,  together  with  written
confirmation  from such CMBS  Lender,  that no  default  in  payment  or, to the
knowledge of the CMBS Lender,  any other  default has occurred and is continuing
thereunder  and  confirming  the  absence  of any  amendments  to the  documents
evidencing the Phase I Debt, except amendments disclosed to Carr in writing. All
documentation necessary for the assignment and assumption to Carr of the Phase I
Debt and, if applicable,  the KILICO  Mortgage shall have been received by Carr,
fully  executed  and in form  and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to Carr,
subject to Paragraph 2.1(b) above.


         7.5      Rent Roll, Leases and Other Agreements.

         Carr shall have  received a true and complete  update of the Rent Roll,
current as of the Closing Date,  and  identical in all material  respects to the
Rent Roll  attached  hereto as Exhibit G,  except for  matters  approved by Carr
pursuant to Paragraph 4.5 hereof, and showing no material defaults by the tenant
or the landlord  under any such Lease.  Carr shall have  received the  estoppels
required by Paragraph 3.4 hereof.


         7.6      Personal Property.

         The Sellers  shall have  delivered to Carr,  within ten (10) days after
the date of this Agreement,  a complete  inventory of the Personal Property that
is excluded from the sale contemplated hereby. The Personal Property included in
the sale shall be in its  present  order and  repair,  reasonable  wear and tear
excepted.

shall have been satisfied as of the dates required.

         Carr shall not be required  to  consummate  the  purchase of any of the
Property  unless all of the Sellers are able  simultaneously  to consummate  the
sale of all of the Property.


            ARTICLE 8: CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF SELLERS
            ---------------------------------------------------------

         The  obligation of each Seller to consummate  the Closing is subject to
the  fulfillment,  at or  prior  to  the  Closing,  of  each  of  the  following
conditions, and failure to satisfy any such condition shall excuse and discharge
all  obligations  of the Sellers to carry out the  provisions of this  Agreement
unless such failure is waived in writing by the Sellers:


         8.1      Legal Proceedings

         No action or proceeding by or before any  governmental  authority shall
have been instituted or threatened (and not subsequently  dismissed,  settled or
otherwise  terminated)  which is  reasonably  expected to restrain,  prohibit or
invalidate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than an action
or proceeding instituted or threatened by any Seller.


         8.2      Phase I Debt

         The consent described in Paragraph 7.4 hereof shall have been obtained.


         8.3      Other Conditions.

         8.4      No Conflicts

         There is no  agreement  to which  Carr is party or to Carr's  knowledge
binding on Carr which is in conflict with this Agreement.


         8.5      Representations and Warranties

         The  representations  and warranties made by the Carr in this Agreement
shall be true and complete in all material  respects  when made and on and as of

                               ------------------


         9.1      Closing

         The   consummation  of  the  transactions   contemplated   herein  (the
"Closing") shall take place at the law offices of Mayer Brown & Platt, 190 South
LaSalle  Street,  Chicago,  Illinois  60603, or at such other place to which the
parties  may  agree,  on the date  which is ten (10)  Business  Days  after  the
expiration  of the Due  Diligence  Period  described  in  Paragraph  3.1 or such
earlier  time as Carr may  designate  upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior
written  notice to the Sellers (such date being the "Closing  Date");  provided,
however, that the Closing Date may be extended for an additional period of up to
30 days, at Carr's  election,  if necessary to obtain the approval of the lender
under  the  Phase I Debt to the  assumption  by Carr of the  Phase I  Debts,  as
contemplated by Paragraphs 2.1 and 7.4 hereof;  and provided,  further,  if such
extension is necessary  because the  lender's  approval is sought in  connection
with an amendment or waiver of the  conditions  presently  contained in the loan
documents evidencing the Phase I Debt (including without limitation substituting
the Phase III collateral  for the case deposits  required by Section 2.32 of the
Phase I  Mortgage),  then upon such  extension  the Earnest  Money shall  become
non-refundable  except if the  Closing  does not  occur  because  of a  Seller's
breach.  If, through no fault of Carr, the Closing shall not have taken place by
close of business on July 1, 1996,  Carr shall have the right to terminate  this
Agreement,  and the Earnest  Money shall  thereupon  be  disbursed  as otherwise
described  herein.  If,  through no fault of the Sellers,  the Closing shall not
have taken place by close of business  on July 1, 1996,  the Sellers  shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement,  and the Earnest Money shall thereupon be
disbursed as otherwise  described  herein.  Upon  completion  of the  deliveries
hereunder and  satisfaction of the other conditions to Closing herein set forth,
the parties shall deliver to the Title Company the items  described in Paragraph
9.2 and shall direct the Title Company to make such deliveries and disbursements
thereof as are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

claims by,  through or under the  applicable  Seller,  but not otherwise) in the

property described therein free of any claims,  except for Permitted Exceptions,
provided,  however, that all Intangible Property will be conveyed on a quitclaim
basis;

herein  except as may be  specifically  described in the  information  delivered
pursuant to Paragraph 3.3;

                                       25
<PAGE>

each Seller and of each entity signing on behalf of the Sellers, as named in the

unpaid bills (for which Carr shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price);
all advertising materials,  booklets,  keys and other items, if any, used in the
operation  of  the  Property  (provided  that  Carr  shall  not  distribute  any
advertising  materials,  booklets  or other  items  identifying  or bearing  any
trademark or logo of Sellers or their property manager without taking actions to
mask, omit or otherwise delete such identification,  trademark or logo); and, if
in any  Seller's  possession  or  control,  the  original  "as-built"  plans and

<PAGE>
         (d) Authority. Evidence of the existence, organization and authority of
Carr or its designee and of the authority of the persons executing  documents on
behalf of Carr or its designee reasonably  satisfactory to the Title Company and
the Sellers;

        ARTICLE 10: PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS/BUSINESS/MANAGEMENT 
        -----------------------------------------------------------
                                     REVIEW
                                     ------


         10.1     Prorations

         Before Closing,  the Sellers shall provide to Carr such information and
verification  as may be  reasonably  necessary  to support  the  prorations  and
adjustments under this Article 10. The items in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of
this Paragraph 10.1, and other customary items of income and expense,  except as
expressly  provided  below,  shall  be  prorated  as of the  close  of  the  day
immediately  preceding the Closing Date,  the Closing Date being a day of income
and expense to Carr:

         (a) Collected  Rent. Carr shall receive a credit for any rent and other
income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under Leases collected by
any Seller before  Closing and  applicable to any period of time on or after the
Closing Date.  Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated.  If Carr
collects  delinquent  rent  after  Closing,  Carr  shall  apply such rent to the
obligations  currently  owing Carr for its period of  ownership  and to costs of
collection,  remitting the balance, if any, to the Sellers.  Carr shall bill and
attempt to collect such delinquent rent in the ordinary course of business,  but
shall not be  obligated  to engage a  collection  agency or take legal action to
collect any  delinquencies.  Carr shall have no  liability to any Seller for its
failure or inability to collect such 

                                       27
<PAGE>
delinquent  rent,  and  Seller  shall have the right to seek  collection  of any
delinquent  rents for any  period  before  the  Closing.  Any  rental  abatement
accruing  for any period under any Lease,  including,  without  limitation,  the
Clintec  Lease,  shall be the  responsibility  of the party in  ownership of the
Property during the applicable portion of such period. The Sellers are currently
engaged in a dispute with the Lake County  Assessor (the  "Assessor")  regarding
1991-1992  real  estate  taxes.  If any  amount  is owing to the  Assessor  upon
resolution of such dispute, such amount shall be paid by the Sellers. Carr shall
receive at Closing  affirmative  title  insurance  against  any tax liens on the
Property that may arise out of such dispute.  If the Sellers are required to pay
additional tax to the Assessor upon resolution of such dispute, Carr agrees that
such amount  shall be treated as  delinquent  rent under the Leases that existed
during  the years for which such taxes are due,  which the  Sellers  may seek to
recover from the Tenants under such Leases; provided,  however, that the Sellers
shall have no right to terminate any Lease for  non-payment of delinquent  rent.
Carr will  cooperate  with the Sellers,  at the Sellers'  cost,  in the Sellers'
efforts to collect such delinquent  rent;  provided,  however,  that the Sellers
shall  take no actions  that might  reasonably  be  expected  to delay or impair
Carr's  ability  to  collect  current  rent from  tenants  under  any  Leases or
otherwise  impair Carr's  relationship  with such tenants.  The Sellers agree to
indemnify  Carr from and against any  liability,  claim,  loss,  cost or expense
incurred  by Carr in seeking  collection  of sums  respecting  such real  estate
taxes.

         (b) Operating Expense  Pass-throughs.  The Sellers,  as landlords under
the Leases,  are currently  collecting from tenants under the Leases  additional
rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs
and  expenses  (collectively,  "Operating  Expense  Pass-throughs")  incurred in
connection with the ownership, operation, use, maintenance and management of the
Property.  At Closing,  Carr shall  receive a credit  equal to the amount of all
accounts  payable  relating to the  Property as of the Closing Date and shall be
responsible for the payment thereof.

         (c) Service  Contracts.  The Sellers or Carr, as the case may be, shall
receive a credit for regular charges under the Service Contracts assumed by Carr
pursuant to this Agreement to the extent paid and applicable to Carr's period of
ownership or payable and applicable to any Seller's period of ownership.

         (d)  Utilities.  The  Sellers  shall  cause  the  meters,  if any,  for
utilities  to be read on the day on which the Closing Date occurs and to pay the
bills rendered on the basis of such readings, except for utilities paid directly
by tenants.  If any such meter  reading for any utility is not  available,  then
adjustment therefor shall be made on the basis of the most recently issued bills
therefor  which are based on meter  readings no earlier  than 30 days before the
Closing Date,  and such  adjustment  shall be  reprorated  when the next utility
bills are received.

         (e) Obligations  Not Subject to Proration.  Carr agrees that it will be
responsible  for the  payment of, and except as set forth below there will be no
proration  at  closing in respect  of, (i) all 1995  (payable  in 1996) and 1996
(payable in 1997) real estate taxes  applicable  to the  Property  (subject to a
credit for any amounts  thereof  received by Sellers from  tenants  under Leases
attributable to the period after May 30, 1996),  and (ii) a contribution  not to
exceed $170,000 in the aggregate to the Villages of Riverwoods and Deerfield for
improvements   to  the  public  water  system  serving  the  Project  and  other
properties,  described in Paragraph  4.4 hereof.  If any Seller pays any part of
either of 

                                       28
<PAGE>

such items prior to  Closing,  then the amount so paid shall be credited to such
Seller at  Closing.  Any  refunds of taxes for 1994  (payable  in 1995) or prior
years shall be the property of the Sellers.  It is understood  that Fujisawa and
Clintec  pay taxes under their  Leases as tax bills are  rendered,  and that any
1995  (payable in 1996)  payments  made by them (i) after Closing will be Carr's
property to apply as required by the applicable  Lease,  and (ii) before Closing
will be credited to Carr.


         10.2     Tenant Reconciliations and Post-Closing Adjustments

         No later than April 30,  1997,  Carr shall  prepare  and present to the
Sellers a calculation of the  re-proration of Operating  Expense  Pass-throughs,
taxes (only to the extent of the over-collection or under-collection of taxes by
Sellers from tenants; provided however, that adjustments for incorrect estimates
of such  taxes will not  exceed  10% (plus or minus) of the  Sellers  reasonable
estimate used in  collecting  such taxes from tenants) and other items under the
Leases, based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or received by the
parties for calendar year 1996. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting
payment  between them within 30 days after  presentment to the Sellers of Carr's
calculation based on that portion of the year during which the Sellers owned the
Property.  The  Sellers  may inspect  Carr's  books and  records  related to the
Property to confirm the  calculations  made  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  10.2.
Either party shall be entitled to post-Closing  reconciliations  and adjustments
for any  incorrect  proration  or  adjustment.  Except  as  otherwise  expressly
provided herein, all post-Closing  reconciliations  and adjustments  between the
parties shall be paid in cash on demand.


         10.3     Obligations Not Assumed

         No  expense,  liability  or  obligation  related  to the  ownership  or
operation of the Property and  allocable to any period  before the Closing shall
be charged to or paid or assumed by Carr, other than those obligations for which
a proration  is given or any  obligations  otherwise  expressly  assumed by Carr
under this Agreement or in writing.


         10.4     Leasing Commissions

         It is understood that there are no leasing commissions which are due or
will  become  due  for  any of the  Leases  in  effect  as of the  date  of this
Agreement,  except  that a  commission  would be payable to Cushman &  Wakefield
("C&W") if C&W is retained by Alliant Foodservice  ("Alliant") as its authorized
leasing  agent or broker in  connection  with an  extension  or expansion of its
existing lease. Alliant is currently negotiating a renewal of its lease. Sellers
understand  that  Alliant is  currently  using  Grubb & Ellis as its  authorized
leasing agent,  not C&W. Seller shall remain liable for any leasing  commissions
claimed under  contracts with Seller  relating to all Leases in effect as of the
date of this Agreement  other than (1) the Alliant  renewal,  which shall be the
obligation  of Carr if Alliant  retains  C&W as its leasing  agent,  and (2) any
matters  disclosed on Exhibit O attached hereto.  If any Leases are entered into
after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing  pursuant to Paragraph
4.5 above (an "Agreement Period Lease"),  Carr shall assume and be liable to pay
all leasing  commissions  which may be earned in connection  with such Agreement
Period  Leases (as long as such Leases are entered  into in a manner  consistent

                                       29
<PAGE>
with Paragraph 4.5). Carr  acknowledges  that LaSalle  Partners Asset Management
would earn a commission as set forth on Exhibit O in such event as leasing agent
for the Property.  In addition, if after the date of this Agreement but prior to
the Closing a tenant  agrees to a letter of intent or termsheet or other similar
document  indicating major business terms (which may be a nonbinding  expression
of intent)  for a Lease at the  Property,  and if Carr  enters into a Lease with
such tenant  within 120 days after the Closing,  then,  in addition to any other
commissions  which may be owing in  connection  with such  Lease,  Carr will pay
LaSalle Partners Asset Management a commission as set forth on Exhibit O.


         10.5     Tenant Deposits

         All tenant security  deposits (and interest  thereon if required by law
or contract to be earned  thereon)  shall be  transferred or credited to Carr at
Closing. As of the Closing,  Carr shall assume the Sellers'  obligations related
to tenant security  deposits,  but only to the extent they are properly credited
and transferred to Carr.


         10.6     Tenant Improvements and Allowances

Carr  shall be  responsible  for  completing  only  those  tenant  improvements,
including any punchlist items, which the landlord is obligated to complete under
the Leases after  Closing that are  disclosed on the Rent Roll and for which any
existing   applicable   construction  and   architecture   contracts  have  been
specifically  assigned to Carr at the  Closing.  The Rent Roll  discloses  which
Leases have unperformed tenant improvements.  At Closing,  Sellers shall provide
to Carr  (i) the  Title  Policies,  which  shall  be free of any  exception  for
possible  liens  relating to work  performed at the  Property  prior to Closing,
whether filed before or after the Closing,  and (ii)  acknowledgements  from the
respective  construction  companies that are parties to  construction  contracts
with any Seller  relating to the  performance of any ongoing work  consenting to
the assignment of such contracts to Carr and certifying  that such contracts are
unmodified  and in full  force  and  effect,  that no  change  orders  or  other
modifications  have been  executed in  connection  therewith  (other than change
orders (i) approved by Carr,  or (ii) which relate solely to work which a tenant
is  obligated  to  perform,  or (iii)  which would not  increase  the  aggregate
contract  price  by more  than 5% and  that  true  and  correct  copies  of such
contracts and any such modifications are attached to such certificates.


         10.7     Wages

         Carr shall not be liable for any wages, fringe benefits, payroll taxes,
unemployment  insurance  contributions,  accrued  vacation pay,  accrued pay for
unused sick leave, accrued severance pay or other compensation accruing prior to
Closing for employees of the Property.  Carr agrees that,  for a period of three
(3) years after the Closing (or termination of this Agreement without a Closing)
Carr shall not hire any of  employees  of  LaSalle  Partners  Assets  Management
presently  or  formerly  employed  at the  Property  at or  above  the  grade of
Assistant Manager unless they shall first have been employed by another property
management company for a period of at least 30 days.

         10.8     Deposits

         The Sellers shall receive a credit for the amount of deposits,  if any,
with  lenders  (including  the Phase I lender)  or  utility  companies  that are
transferable  and that are  assigned to Carr at the Closing.  The Sellers  shall
also  receive a credit for  prepaid  insurance  premiums  paid on  environmental
insurance  policies  insuring  Phase I and  attributable  to the period from and
after the Closing Date.  Carr agrees that the Sellers may request to be added as
additional insureds on such environmental insurance policies, provided that Carr
shall incur no cost in  connection  thereof and that the  addition of Sellers as
additional insureds shall not impair Carr's rights thereunder.


         10.9     Sales Commissions

         The Sellers and Carr  represent and warrant each to the other that they
have not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection
with this transaction  other than LaSalle Partners Limited  ("Broker").  If this
transaction  is closed,  the Sellers shall pay Broker in  accordance  with their
separate  agreement.   Broker  is  not  authorized  to  make  any  agreement  or
representation  on behalf of either party.  Except as expressly set forth above,
in the  event of any claim for  broker's  or  finder's  fees or  commissions  in
connection with the negotiation,  execution or consummation of this Agreement or
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,  each party  shall  indemnify  and hold
harmless  the  other  party  from and  against  any such  claim  based  upon any
statement,  representation or agreement, or alleged statement, representation or
agreement, of the indemnifying party.


                ARTICLE 11: RISK OF LOSS; DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
                ------------------------------------------------

         11.1     Risk of Loss.

         Until the Closing,  subject to  Paragraphs  11.2 and 11.3  hereof,  the
Sellers assume all risk of loss and liabilities for damage or casualty to all or
any part of the  Property  or damage or injury to any  Person or other  property
arising out of any fire, storm, accident, or other casualty,  occurrence, event,
or condition on or relating to the Property.


         11.2     Damage

         The Sellers shall  promptly  give Carr written  notice of any damage to
the  Property,  describing  such  damage,  whether  such  damage is  covered  by
insurance,  and the estimated cost of repairing  such damage.  If such damage is
not material,  (1) the applicable  Seller shall, to the extent  possible,  begin
repairs  prior to the Closing  out of any  insurance  proceeds  received by such
Seller for such damage,  pursuant to contracts  that are assignable to Carr, (2)
Carr shall receive all insurance  proceeds not applied to the repair of any such
Property prior to the Closing  (including rent loss insurance  applicable to any
period from and after the Closing  Date) due to such Seller for the damage,  (3)
any uninsured  damage as  reasonably  estimated by a  third-party  adjustor,  or
deductible, as reasonably estimated by a third-party adjustor, shall be credited
to Carr at Closing,  and (4) Carr shall assume the responsibility for the repair
after the Closing.  If such damage is 

                                       31
<PAGE>

material,  Carr may elect by notice to the Sellers given within 10 Business Days
after Carr is notified of such damage  (and the Closing  shall be  extended,  if
necessary,  to give Carr such 10 Business  Day period to respond to such notice)
(a) to proceed in the same manner as in the case of damage that is not  material
or (b) to terminate  this  Agreement,  in which event the Earnest Money shall be
immediately returned to Carr. Damage as to any one or multiple occurrences shall
be deemed to be  material if the cost of  repairing  the damage (and the cost of
rent abatement after Closing  resulting from the damage) exceeds  $500,000 or if
the damage entitles  tenants whose Leases cover, in the aggregate,  in excess of
10,000 rentable square feet to terminate their Leases.


         11.3     Condemnation

         The Sellers shall promptly give Carr written notice of any  proceedings
in eminent domain or for any form of Taking that are contemplated, threatened or
instituted  by any body having the power of eminent  domain with  respect to the
Property by notice to the  Sellers,  given  within 10  Business  Days after Carr
receives such notice from Sellers,  Carr may elect (and if necessary the Closing
Date shall be extended to give Carr the full 10 Business Day period to make such
election)  (a)  to  terminate  this  Agreement  or  (b) to  proceed  under  this
Agreement, in which event the applicable Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to
Carr its entire  right,  title and  interest in and to any  condemnation  award.
Unless and until the Closing  shall have occurred or this  Agreement  shall have
been  terminated,  the  applicable  Seller and Carr shall jointly  negotiate and
otherwise  deal with the condemning  authority in respect of such matter.  After
the Closing, Carr shall have the sole right to negotiate and otherwise deal with
the condemning authority. If this Agreement is terminated, the applicable Seller
shall have the sole right to negotiate  and otherwise  deal with the  condemning
authority.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Carr shall not have
any right to terminate this Agreement by reason of (i) the  condemnation  of the
Toll Road Expansion Parcel or (ii) the Additional County Dedication.  Sellers at
the Closing will assign to Carr on a quit claim basis (as  Intangible  Property)
any and all claims or rights of action they may have against the  Illinois  Toll
Highway Authority  respecting the Sellers' 1994 donation of approximately 1.2317
acres  from the  Common  Area  east of the  Phase I  Parcel,  provided  that any
recovery on any such claims or right of action shall remain the sole property of
the Sellers.


                     ARTICLE 12: EVENT OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
                     --------------------------------------


         12.1     Events of Default

         It shall be an  "Event  of  Default"  hereunder  if any party (a) shall
default  in its  obligation  to  close  the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement,  and such default  continues  for seven (7) days after notice of such
default is furnished by the party asserting such default to the defaulting party
or  (b)  shall  make  any  knowing  misrepresentation  or  make  any  fraudulent
representation or warranty.

                                       32
<PAGE>
         12.2     Seller Default

         Carr shall have all rights and  remedies to which it may be entitled at
law or in equity  (including the remedy of specific  performance)  if any Seller
Event of Default occurs Notwithstanding the foregoing, Carr may seek and recover
money   damages  only  for  a  Seller  Event  of  Default  that  was   committed
intentionally  and in bad faith, and in no event shall the Sellers be liable for
any indirect, consequential or punitive damages.


         12.3     Carr Default; Liquidated Damages

         The Sellers'  sole remedy if Carr  defaults in its  obligation to close
the  transaction  contemplated  by this Agreement is to terminate this Agreement
and to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated  damages,  the Sellers each hereby
waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such  default by Carr.  The
parties  acknowledge that the Sellers' actual damages for an Event of Default by
Carr  under  this  Agreement  will be  difficult  to  ascertain,  and that  such
liquidated damages represent the parties' best estimate of such damages.


                           ARTICLE 13: INDEMNIFICATION
                           ---------------------------


         13.1     Sellers' Indemnity

         Subject to  Paragraph  13.5  below,  the  Sellers  hereby  jointly  and
severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold Carr harmless of, from and against
any liability,  claim,  demand,  loss,  cost,  expense or damage  (collectively,
"loss") suffered by Carr (1) arising from any act or omission of any Seller,  or
its agents,  employees or contractors,  occurring  during the Sellers' period of
ownership before the Closing or (2) arising from any breach or inaccuracy of the
Sellers' representations and warranties in Article 6 (subject to the limitations
contained in Paragraphs 6.15 and 14.1 hereof).  As to claims asserted in respect
of matters  addressed in clause (1) above,  Carr agrees that Sellers'  liability
shall be  limited  to any  proceeds  that it may  recover  under  the  policy of
insurance  referred to in Paragraph  13.6.  The Joint Venture agrees to maintain
reserves on behalf of the Sellers of not less than $100,000, until the date that
is one year after the Closing,  to provide for the  satisfaction of the Sellers'
indemnity obligations under clause (2) above and its financial obligations under
Section 10 hereof.


         13.2     Carr's Indemnity

         Carr agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Sellers harmless of, from
and  against  any loss  suffered  by the  Sellers  (1)  arising  from any act or
omission of Carr,  as its agents,  employees or  contractors,  occurring  during
Carr's  period of ownership  after the  Closing,  (2) arising as a result of any
entry or  inspection  of the  Property  pursuant to  Paragraph  3.2 hereof,  (3)
arising from any breach by Carr of any obligation  related to the Property which
by this Agreement, or any closing delivery,  specifically becomes the obligation
of Carr or (4) costs or expenses or other liabilities or obligations incurred by
Sellers,  and  disclosed  to Carr on a  timely  basis as such  costs,  expenses,
liabilities or other  obligations 

                                       33
<PAGE>
are incurred,  in connection  with claims under clause (1) of Paragraph 13.1, to
the extent  such  costs,  expenses,  liabilities  or other  obligations  are not
covered by Sellers' insurance policy and do not arise out of the Sellers' fraud,
bad faith or intentional misconduct.


         13.3     Environmental Excluded

         The   indemnities   set  forth  in  this   Article   13  do  not  cover
indemnification relating to environmental conditions or claims.


         13.4     Procedure

         The following  provisions  govern all actions for indemnity  under this
Article 13. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such
indemnitee  will,  if a  claim  in  respect  thereof  is to be made  against  an
indemnitor  (or, as contemplated  by Paragraph  13.6,  against the  indemnitor's
insurer,  if the  indemnitor  is a Seller),  deliver to the  indemnitor  written
notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if
the  indemnitor  agrees in writing  that it will be  responsible  for any costs,
expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect
to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory
to the parties;  provided,  however,  that an indemnitee shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor,
if the indemnitee  reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by
the counsel retained by the indemnitor  would be inappropriate  due to actual or
potential  differing  interests  between  such  indemnitee  and any other  party
represented  by such counsel in such  proceeding.  The failure of  indemnitee to
deliver  written  notice  to the  indemnitor  within  a  reasonable  time  after
indemnitee  receives  notice of any such claim shall relieve such  indemnitor of
any liability to the  indemnitee  under this indemnity only if and to the extent
that such failure is prejudicial  to its ability to defend such action,  and the
omission so to deliver  written notice to the indemnitor  will not relieve it of
any  liability  that  it may  have  to any  indemnitee  other  than  under  this
indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of
the  indemnitor,  then the  indemnitor  shall be released  from  liability  with
respect to such claim  unless the  indemnitor  has  unreasonably  withheld  such
consent.


         13.5     Limitation of Liability

                  Carr shall not assert  claims  under  clause (1) of  Paragraph
13.1 hereof directly against Sellers by subrogation or otherwise,  except as may
be necessary to make a claim under the policy of insurance described in the next
sentence.  Sellers  agree to maintain  their  existing  comprehensive  liability
insurance,  including an appropriate  contractual liability endorsement thereto,
in effect for a period of not less than one (1) year after the Closing.  If Carr
shall  assert a claim  under said  clause  (1) it shall  have the right,  to the
extent  permitted  by law  and the  terms  of  such  insurance,  to file a claim
directly with the applicable Seller's insurance and to file such claims,  suits,
complaints, actions or other documents or proceedings against Seller as shall be
necessary to prosecute such claim against such insurer.

                            -------------------------


         14.1     Survival

         The representations and warranties  contained in this Agreement and the
provisions of this  Agreement  that  contemplate  performance  after the Closing
shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by
the instruments of such Closing, provided,  however, that (i) if Carr desires to
make a claim based upon a failure of any  representation or warranty to be true,
it must  give the  Sellers  notice  of such  claim  within  twelve  (12)  months
following the Closing  (failing which such claim shall be deemed  waived),  (ii)
Carr may not make a claim for breach of a representation  or warranty unless the
aggregate damages claimed by Carr by reason of the breach of representations and
warranties  (including,  without  limitation,  the present value,  discounted at
8.0%,  of any  damages  expected to be  incurred  on a periodic  basis)  exceeds
$25,000.00 in the aggregate, and (iii) Carr may not make a claim for breach of a
representation  or  warranty  if  prior to the  Closing,  Carr  obtained  actual
knowledge of the  existence  and extent of such breach and failed to assert such
claim prior to the Closing.


         14.2     Expenses

         Except as otherwise  expressly provided herein, each party hereto shall
pay  its  own  expenses   incident  to  this  Agreement  and  the   transactions
contemplated   hereunder,   including   all  legal  and   accounting   fees  and
disbursements.  If any  litigation  arises between the parties by reason of this
transaction,  the  prevailing  party in such  litigation  shall be  entitled  to
recover  its  reasonable  legal  fees  and  expenses  in  connection  with  such
litigation from the non-prevailing party.


         14.3     Additional Actions and Documents

         Each of the parties  hereto  hereby agrees to take or cause to be taken
such further  actions,  to execute,  deliver and file,  or cause to be executed,
delivered and filed,  such further  documents,  releases,  assignments and other
instruments,  and to obtain  such  consents,  as may be  necessary  or as may be
reasonably  requested  in order to fully  effectuate  the  purposes,  terms  and
conditions of this  Agreement,  including,  without  limitation the transfer and
assignment  to Carr of,  and the full  vestment  in Carr of title to, all of the
Property.


         14.4     Entire Agreement; Amendment

herein or furnished  pursuant hereto,  constitute the entire agreement among the
parties  hereto  with  respect  to  the  transactions  contemplated  herein  and
supersede all prior oral or written  agreements,  commitments or  understandings

in this Paragraph 14.4 shall have any effect on any other agreements between the
parties  entered  into  contemporaneously  herewith  or  subsequent  hereto.  No
amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement shall be 

                                       35

                          Independent Auditor's Report


The Board of Directors
Carr Realty Corporation:

We have audited the  accompanying  historical  summary of operating  revenue and
expenses,  as defined in note 1, of AT&T Center for the year ended  December 31,
1995. This historical summary is the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical  summary based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the historical summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the historical  summary. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall  presentation  of the historical  summary.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  historical  summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission and is
not intended to be a complete  presentation  of the revenue and expenses of AT&T
Center.

In our opinion, the historical summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects,  the operating revenue and expenses, as defined in note 1, of
AT&T Center for the year ended  December 31, 1995, in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Historical Summary of Operating Revenue and Expenses

Year ended December 31, 1995

(Dollars in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         (1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                  Description of the Property

                  AT&T Center is an  eight-building  office  complex  located in
                  Pleasanton,  California,  containing  approximately  1,082,000
                  square feet of office space. At December 31, 1995, 100 percent
                  of the  office  space was  leased to AT&T  under a lease  that
                  provides  for  expiration  of  various  amounts  of space from
                  February 1998 through April 1999. Under the terms of the lease
                  AT&T is  responsible  for  payment of all  operating  expenses
                  except owners' association fees, for which AT&T reimburses the
                  owner of the buildings.

                  Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying  historical  summary of operating revenue and
                  expenses is not  representative  of the actual  operations for
                  the periods presented, as certain revenues and expenses, which
                  may not be  comparable  to those  expected  to be  incurred by
                  CarrAmerica   Realty   Corporation  in  the  proposed   future
                  operations  of the  building,  have  been  excluded.  Interest
                  income  has  been  excluded   from   revenue,   and  interest,
                  depreciation  and  amortization,  and other costs not directly
                  related  to the future  operations  of AT&T  Center  have been
                  excluded  from  expenses.  Management  is  not  aware  of  any
                  material  factors relating to AT&T Center that would cause the
                  historical summary of operating revenue and expenses to not be
                  indicative of future operating results of the building.

                  Revenue Recognition

                  Revenue from rental  operations  is  recognized  straight-line
                  over the terms of the respective leases.

         (2)      Acquisition Transaction

                  CarrAmerica Realty  Corporation  acquired AT&T Center on March
                  29, 1996.

         (3)      Proforma Taxable Operating Results and Cash Available
                  from Operations (Unaudited)

                  The unaudited  proforma table  reflects the taxable  operating
                  results and cash available from  operations of AT&T Center for
                  the year ended  December  31,  1995,  as adjusted  for certain
                  items  which  can be  factually  supported.  For  purposes  of
                  presenting  proforma net taxable operating income,  revenue is
                  recognized when it is either collectible under the lease terms
                  or collected. Tax depreciation for the building is computed on
                  the modified  accelerated  cost recovery  system method over a
                  39-year  life.  This  statement  does not  purport to forecast
                  actual operating results for any period in the future.

                  Proforma net operating income (exclusive of
                   depreciation and amortization expense)               $ 15,598
                  Less - estimated depreciation and amortization expense   1,960
                  --------------------------------------------------------------

                  Proforma taxable operating income                     $ 13,638
                  --------------------------------------------------------------

                  Proforma cash available from operations               $ 15,598

(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        (a)     Description of the Properties

                Harlequin Plaza North, Harlequin Plaza South, Quebec Court I and
                Quebec Court II (the Properties) are office buildings located in
                Englewood,  Colorado.  At March 31, 1996, occupancy  percentages
                were as follows:

                                   Harlequin Plaza North - 89%
                                   Harlequin Plaza South - 98%
                                   Quebec Court I - 100%
                                   Quebec Court II - 100%

        (b)     Basis of Presentation

                The  accounts  of  the  Properties  have  been  included  in the
                combined historical summaries of operating revenue and expenses.

                The  accompanying  combined  historical  summaries  of operating
                revenue  and  expenses  are  not  representative  of the  actual
                operations  for the periods  presented  as certain  revenues and
                expenses,  which may not be comparable  to those  expected to be
                incurred  by  CarrAmerica  Realty  Corporation  in the  proposed
                future operations of the buildings, have been excluded. Interest
                income  has  been   excluded   from   revenue,   and   interest,
                depreciation  and  amortization,  and other  costs not  directly
                related to the future  operations  of the  Properties  have been
                excluded from expenses.  Management is not aware of any material
                factors   relating  to  the  Properties  that  would  cause  the
                historical summaries of operating revenue and expenses to not be
                indicative of future operating results of the Properties.

        (c)     Revenue Recognition
               
                Revenue from rental operations is recognized  straight-line over
                the terms of the respective leases.

        (d)     Interim Unaudited Financial Information

                The  accompanying   unaudited  financial  information  has  been
                prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
                and  Exchange  Commission.   Certain  information  and  footnote
                disclosures normally included in financial statements

                principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
                and   regulations,   although   management   believes  that  the
                disclosures are adequate to make the  information  presented not
                misleading.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments
                consisting  only of  normal  recurring  accruals,  necessary  to
                present fairly the historical summaries of operating revenue and
                expenses for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996,  have been
                included.  The results of operations for the three-month  period
                ended  March  31,  1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
                results for the full year. (continued)

        ended  March 31,  1996,  as  adjusted  for  certain  items  which can be
        factually  supported.  For purposes of  presenting  proforma net taxable
        operating  income,  revenue is recognized when it is either  collectible
        under the lease terms or collected. Tax depreciation for the building is
        computed on the modified  accelerated cost recovery system method over a
        39-year  life.  This  statement  does  not purport  to  forecast  actual
        operating results for any period in the future.

Notes to Historical Summaries of Operating
Revenue and Expenses

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
and the Year Ended December 31, 1995

(Dollars in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      Description of the Property

         Warner Center Business Park (the Property) consists of twelve buildings
         within a business  park located in Woodland  Hills,  California.  These
         buildings contain approximately 343,00 square feet of office and retail
         space  available  for lease.  The buildings  were  completed in 1981 to
         1985. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, 77 percent
         and 74 percent of the buildings' space was under lease.

(2)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a)      Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying historical summaries of operating revenue and
                  expenses are not  representative  of the actual operations for
                  the periods presented as certain revenues and expenses,  which
                  may not be  comparable  to those  expected  to be  incurred by
                  CarrAmerica   Realty   Corporation  in  the  proposed   future
                  operations  of the  building,  have  been  excluded.  Interest
                  income and certain  recovered  expenses related to the January
                  1994 earthquake  have been excluded from revenue.  Real estate
                  taxes,  interest,  depreciation,  and amortization and certain
                  expenses  related to the  January  1994  earthquake  have been
                  excluded from expenses.


                  In  accordance  with current  California  tax law,  management
                  expects  that  real  estate  taxes  will  be  reassessed  upon
                  transfer of ownership based on the Property's  purchase price.
                  Therefore,   historical  real  estate  tax  expenses  are  not
                  comparable to those  expected to be incurred by the Property's
                  new owner.  Real estate taxes for the three months ended March
                  31, 1996 and  December 31, 1995 were  $117,000  and  $432,000,
                  respectively. Upon reassessment,  annual real estate taxes are
                  expected to increase by approximately $250,000.



<PAGE>
         (b)      Revenue Recognition

                  Revenue  from  rental   operations   is   recognized   on  the
                  straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.

                                                                     (continued)

         (c)      Interim Unaudited Financial Information


                  The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  information  has been
                  prepared   pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the
                  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information and
                  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
                  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
                  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to such
                  rules and regulations,  although  management believes that the
                  disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
                  misleading.

                  In the opinion of management, adjustments necessary to present
                  fairly the  historical  summaries  of  operating  revenue  and
                  expenses  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 have been
                  included. The results of operations for the three months ended
                  March 31, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
                  for the full year.

(3)      Pro forma Taxable  Operating Results and Cash Available from Operations
         (Unaudited)

         The  unaudited  pro  forma   information  below  reflects  the  taxable
         operating  results and cash available  from  operations of the Property
         for the twelve  months  ended March 31,  1996,  as adjusted for certain
         items which can be factually supported.  For purposes of presenting pro
         forma net taxable operating  income,  revenue is recognized the earlier
         of when it is  collectible  under the  lease  terms or  collected.  Tax
         depreciation  for the building is computed on the modified  accelerated
         cost  recovery   system  method  over  a  39-year  life  based  on  the
         anticipated total purchase cost. Real estate taxes included reflect the
         anticipated  reassessment  described in note 2(a).  This statement does
         not purport to forecast actual operating  results for any period in the
         future.

               Pro forma net operating income (exclusive of
                    depreciation and amortization expense)            $3,604
               Less estimated depreciation and amortization
                    expense                                              880

                         Pro forma taxable operating income           $2,724
                                                                      ------
                         Pro forma cash available from operations     $3,604
                                                                      ======

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a)      Description of the Property

                  Parkway  North Center is an office park located in  Deerfield,
                  Illinois  containing  approximately  500,000  square  feet  of
                  office space available for lease, 23,000 square feet of retail
                  space  available  for  lease,  and  undeveloped  land with the
                  potential for additional square feet of leasable office space.
                  The office space is comprised of 2 office buildings  completed
                  in 1986  and  1989  which  are 90%  leased  and  100%  leased,
                  respectively,  as of March  31,  1996.  The  retail  space was
                  completed in 1993 and is 100% leased as of March 31, 1996. The
                  property is managed by an affiliate of the existing  owner for
                  3.5% of its Gross Income, as defined.

         (b)      Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying historical summaries of operating revenue and
                  expenses is not  representative  of the actual  operations for
                  the periods presented as certain revenues and expenses,  which
                  may not be  comparable  to those  expected  to be  incurred by
                  CarrAmerica   Realty   Corporation  in  the  proposed   future
                  operations  of the  property,  have  been  excluded.  Interest
                  income  has  been  excluded   from   revenue,   and  interest,
                  depreciation  and  amortization,  and other costs not directly
                  related to the future  operations of Parkway North Center have
                  been  excluded from  expenses.  Management is not aware of any
                  material  factors  relating to Parkway North Center that would
                  cause  the  historical  summaries  of  operating  revenue  and
                  expenses to not be indicative of future  operating  results of
                  the buildings.

         (c)      Revenue Recognition

                  Revenue from rental  operations  is  recognized  straight-line
                  over the terms of the respective leases.

         (d)      Interim Unaudited Financial Information

                  The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  information  has been
                  prepared   pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the
                  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information and
                  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
                  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
                  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to such
                  rules and regulations,  although  management believes that the
                  disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
                  misleading.  In the  opinion of  management,  all  adjustments
                  consisting  only of normal  recurring  accruals,  necessary to
                  present fairly the historical summary of operating revenue and
                  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996,  have been
                  included. The results of operations for the three month period
                  ended March 31,  1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
                  results for the full year.

(2)      Acquisition Transaction

         CarrAmerica  Realty  Corporation  acquired Parkway North Center on June
         14, 1996.

(3)      Proforma Taxable  Operating  Results and Cash Available from Operations
         (Unaudited)

         The unaudited proforma table reflects the taxable operating results and
         cash available  from  operations of Parkway North Center for the twelve
         months ended March 31, 1996, as adjusted for certain items which can be
         factually  supported.  For purposes of presenting  proforma net taxable
         operating income,  revenue is recognized when it is either  collectible
         under the lease terms or collected.  Tax  depreciation for the building
         is computed on the modified  accelerated  cost  recovery  system method
         over a 39-year life. This statement does not purport to forecast actual
         operating results for any period in the future.

             Proforma net operating income (exclusive of

         The Board of Directors
         CarrAmerica Realty Corporation

         We have  audited  the  accompanying  historical  summary  of  operating
         revenue and expenses,  as defined in note 1, of Reston  Quadrangle  for
         the year  ended  December  31,  1995.  This  historical  summary is the
         responsibility   of  the   management   of   Reston   Quadrangle.   Our
         responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical summary based
         on our audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
         standards.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit
         to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the historical summary is
         free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test
         basis,   evidence   supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the
         historical  summary.  An audit also includes  assessing the  accounting
         principles used and significant  estimates made by management,  as well
         as evaluating the overall  presentation of the historical  summary.  We
         believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         The  accompanying  historical  summary was  prepared for the purpose of
         complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission  and is not  intended to be a complete  presentation  of the
         revenue and expenses of Reston Quadrangle.

         In our  opinion,  the  historical  summary  referred to above  presents
         fairly,  in all material  respects,  the operating revenue and expenses
         described in note 1 of Reston  Quadrangle  for the year ended  December
         31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
and the Year Ended December 31, 1995

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a)      Description of the Property

                  Reston Quadrangle  comprises three office buildings located in
                  Reston, Virginia containing  approximately 261,000 square feet
                  of office  space  available  for  lease.  The  buildings  were
                  completed  in 1990.  At March 31,  1996,  100  percent  of the
                  office space was under lease.

         (b)      Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying historical summaries of operating revenue and
                  expenses are not  representative  of the actual operations for
                  the periods presented as certain revenues and expenses,  which
                  may not be  comparable  to those  expected  to be  incurred by
                  CarrAmerica  Realty   Corporation,   in  the  proposed  future
                  operations  of the  building,  have  been  excluded.  Interest
                  income  has  been  excluded   from   revenue,   and  interest,
                  depreciation  and  amortization,  and other costs not directly
                  related to the future  operations  of Reston  Quadrangle  have
                  been  excluded from  expenses.  Management is not aware of any
                  material  factors  relating  to Reston  Quadrangle  that would
                  cause  the  historical  summaries  of  operating  revenue  and
                  expenses to not be indicative of future  operating  results of
                  the building.

         (c)      Revenue Recognition

                  Revenue from rental  operations  is  recognized  straight-line
                  over the terms of the respective leases.

         (d)      Interim Unaudited Financial Information

                  The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  information  has been
                  prepared   pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the
                  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information and
                  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
                  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
                  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to such
                  rules and regulations,  although  management believes that the
                  disclosures are adequate to make the information

                                       3

                  presented not  misleading.  In the opinion of management,  all
                  adjustments  consisting  only of  normal  recurring  accruals,
                  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  historical  summaries  of
                  operating  revenue and  expenses  for the three  months  ended
                  March 31, 1996, have been included.  The results of operations
                  for the  three  month  period  ended  March  31,  1996 are not
                  necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

                                                                     (continued)

         CarrAmerica Realty Corporation  acquired Reston Quadrangle on March 28,
         1996.

(3)      Proforma Taxable  Operating  Results and Cash Available from Operations
         (Unaudited)

         The unaudited proforma table reflects the taxable operating results and
         cash  available  from  operations of Reston  Quadrangle  for the twelve
         months ended March 31, 1996, as adjusted for certain items which can be
         factually  supported.  For purposes of presenting  proforma net taxable
         operating income,  revenue is recognized when it is either  collectible
         under the lease terms or collected.  Tax  depreciation for the building
         is computed on the modified  accelerated  cost  recovery  system method
         over a 39-year life. This statement does not purport to forecast actual
         operating results for any period in the future.

              Proforma net operating income (exclusive of
                   depreciation and amortization expense)               $  4,900
              Less - estimated depreciation and amortization

                         Proforma taxable operating income              $  4,014
                                                                           =====
