                                   (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      Organization, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a)      Organization and Business

                  CarrAmerica   Realty   Corporation   (formerly   Carr   Realty
                  Corporation)   (the  Company)  is  a   self-administered   and
                  self-managed  equity  real  estate  investment  trust  (REIT),
                  organized  under the laws of Maryland,  which owns,  develops,
                  acquires and operates office buildings.

         (b)      Principles of Consolidation

                  The   accounts   of  the   Company   and  its   majority-owned
                  subsidiaries are  consolidated in the  accompanying  financial
                  statements.   All   significant   intercompany   balances  and
                  transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.  As used
                  hereafter,   the   Company   refers  to   CarrAmerica   Realty
                  Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

         (c)      Interim Financial Statements

                  The information  furnished reflects all adjustments which are,
                  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  to reflect a fair
                  presentation  of the results for the interim  periods, and all
                  such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

         (d)      Rental Property

                  Rental   property  is   recorded  at  cost  less   accumulated
                  depreciation  (which is less than the net realizable  value of
                  the property).  Depreciation is computed on the  straight-line
                  basis  over  the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets,  as
                  follows:

                      Base building...............  20 to 50 years
                      Building components.........  7 to 20 years
                      Tenant improvements.........  Terms of the leases or
                                                      useful lives, whichever 
                                                      is shorter
                      Furniture, fixtures and
                         equipment................  5 to 15 years

                  Expenditures  for  maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to
                  operations   as   incurred.    Significant   renovations   are
                  capitalized.

         (e)      Tenant Leasing Costs

                  Fees and  costs  incurred  in the  successful  negotiation  of
                  leases  have  been  deferred  and are being  amortized  on the
                  straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.

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

         (f)      Deferred Financing Costs

                  Deferred  financing  costs include fees and costs  incurred to
                  obtain  long-term  financing and are being  amortized over the
                  terms of the  respective  loans on a basis which  approximates
                  the interest method.

         (g)      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

                  The carrying  amount of the  following  financial  instruments
                  approximates fair value because of their short-term  maturity:
                  cash and cash  equivalents;  accounts  and  notes  receivable;
                  accounts payable and accrued expenses.

         (h)      Real Estate Service Contracts and Other Intangible Assets

                  Real estate  service  contracts and other  intangible  assets,
                  including goodwill, represent the purchase price of net assets
                  of real estate service  operations  acquired and are amortized
                  on the  straight-line  basis  over the  expected  lives of the
                  respective  real estate  service  contracts.  Goodwill,  which
                  represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
                  net assets acquired,  is amortized on the straight-line  basis
                  over the expected periods to be benefited, generally 15 years.
                  The Company  assesses the  recoverability  of these intangible
                  assets by determining  whether the amortization of the balance
                  over its remaining life can be recovered through  undiscounted
                  future  operating  cash flows of the acquired  operation.  The
                  amount of  impairment  loss, if any, is measured as the amount
                  by which the  carrying  amount of the assets  exceeds the fair
                  value of the assets.  The assessment of the  recoverability of
                  these  intangible  assets will be impacted if estimated future
                  operating cash flows are not achieved.

         (i)      Revenue Recognition

                  The  Company   reports  base  rental   revenue  for  financial
                  statement  purposes   straight-line  over  the  terms  of  the
                  respective leases.  Accrued  straight-line rents represent the
                  amount  that   straight-line   rental  revenue  exceeds  rents
                  collected in accordance with the lease agreements. Management,
                  considering  current  information  and  events  regarding  the
                  tenants' ability to fulfill their lease obligations, considers
                  accrued  straight-line  rents to be impaired if it is probable
                  that the  Company  will be  unable  to  collect  all rents due
                  according  to  the   contractual   lease  terms.   If  accrued
                  straight-line rents associated with a tenant are considered to
                  be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on
                  the present  value of expected  future cash flows.  Impairment
                  losses,  if any, are recorded  through a loss on the write-off
                  of assets.  Cash  receipts on impaired  accrued  straight-line
                  rents are applied to reduce the remaining  outstanding balance
                  and as rental revenue, thereafter.

                  The Company receives  monthly  management fees generally equal
                  to 2% to 3% of the gross  monthly  revenue of each property it
                  manages. Management fees are recognized as revenue as they are
                  earned.

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

                  The Company  receives  monthly leasing fees generally equal to
                  1.5%  to  2.0%  of  the  gross  monthly   revenue  of  certain
                  properties it manages.  These  leasing fees are  recognized as
                  revenue  as  they  are  earned.   For  certain  other  managed
                  properties,  leasing  commissions  are  received at the time a
                  lease is executed or at lease commencement.  Such leasing fees
                  are  recognized  as  revenue  upon  lease  execution  or lease
                  commencement, when earned.

         (j)      Income and Other Taxes

                  The Company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860
                  of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  A REIT will
                  generally  not be subject to federal  income  taxation on that
                  portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income to
                  the  extent  that it  distributes  at least 95  percent of its
                  taxable income to its  shareholders  and complies with certain
                  other  requirements.  Accordingly,  no provision has been made
                  for  federal  income  taxes for the Company and certain of its
                  subsidiaries  in  the  accompanying   condensed   consolidated
                  financial statements.

                  Certain  consolidated  subsidiaries of the Company are subject
                  to District  of Columbia  franchise  tax.  These  consolidated
                  subsidiaries  file  separate  tax  returns  and are subject to
                  federal and state income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for
                  using the  asset and  liability  method of  accounting.  These
                  taxes are recorded as general and  administrative  expenses in
                  the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

         (k)      Investments in Unconsolidated Partnerships

                  The  Company  uses the  equity  method of  accounting  for its
                  investments  in  and  earnings   (losses)  of   unconsolidated
                  partnerships.

         (l)      Per Share Data

                  The  computation  of earnings  per share in each year is based
                  upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
                  When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents
                  using the treasury stock method.  The weighted  average number
                  of shares used in computing earnings per share was 38,765,122,
                  including  5,200,940  Units which are considered  common stock
                  equivalents, and  13,361,992 for the three month periods ended
                  September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and 27,723,006, in-
                  cluding  4,832,212  Units which are  considered  common  stock
                  equivalents,  and  13,324,269 for the nine month periods ended
                  September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         (m)      Cash Equivalents

                  For  the  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,   the  Company
                  considers  all highly  liquid  investments  with a maturity of
                  three  months  or less  at the  time  of  purchase  to be cash
                  equivalents.

         (n)      Use of Estimates

                  Management  of the Company has made a number of estimates  and
                  assumptions   relating   to  the   reporting   of  assets  and
                  liabilities  and  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
                  liabilities   to  prepare   these   financial   statements  in
                  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
                  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)      Minority Interest

         In conjunction with the formation of the Company and its majority-owned
         subsidiary,  Carr  Realty,  L.P.,  persons  contributing  interests  in
         properties  to Carr  Realty,  L.P.  had the  right to elect to  receive
         either  common  stock of the Company or Units in Carr  Realty,  L.P. In
         addition,  the Company has acquired  certain assets since its formation
         by issuing dividend paying Units and non-dividend  paying Units of Carr
         Realty, L.P. and CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. The non-dividend paying Units
         are not entitled to any distributions until they automatically  convert
         into  dividend  paying  Units  at  various  dates in the  future.  Each
         dividend paying Unit, subject to certain restrictions,  may be redeemed
         for either one share of common  stock or, at the option of the Company,
         cash equal to the fair market  value of a share of common  stock at the
         time of the  redemption.  When a Unitholder  redeems a dividend  paying
         Unit for a share of common stock or cash,  minority interest is reduced
         and the  Company's  investment  in Carr  Realty,  L.P.  or  CarrAmerica
         Realty,  L.P., as the case may be, is  increased.  During the three and
         nine month  periods  ended  September  30,  1996,  11,310  and  173,695
         dividend  paying Units,  of Carr Realty,  L.P. or  CarrAmerica  Realty,
         L.P., respectively, were redeemed for common stock of the Company.

         The  following  table  sets  forth  the  operating   partnership  Units
         outstanding at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995:

                                                September 30,     December 31,

         Minority interest in the accompanying  condensed consolidated financial
         statements   relates  primarily  to  holders  of  dividend  paying  and
         non-dividend paying Units.


(4)      Lease Agreements

         The Company receives minimum rentals under noncancelable tenant leases.
         Certain leases provide for additional rentals based on increases in the
         Consumer  Price Index (CPI) and  increases in operating  expenses.  The
         increased  rentals from  operating  expenses are  generally  payable in
         equal installments  throughout the year, based on estimated  increases,
         with any differences being adjusted in the succeeding year.

(5)      Transactions With Affiliates

         In May 1996,  the Company  purchased  the  development  business of The
         Oliver Carr Company for $1.75 million. The principal shareholder of The
         Oliver Carr Company is also a director,  officer and shareholder of the
         Company.


 (6)     Subsequent Events

         From  October 1, 1996 to November 1, 1996,  the Company has acquired 12
         operating  office  properties,  consisting  of  39  buildings  totaling
         approximately  1.4 million  square feet, one property  currently  under
         construction  totaling  128,000 square feet and land which will support
         the development of up to 95,000 square feet of additional office space.
         The total purchase price for the properties and land was  approximately
         $130  million.  The  purchase  of the  properties  was  financed by the
         assumption  of $22 million in debt,  the  issuance  of $1.5  million in
         shares of common stock of the Company and payment of $106.5  million in
         cash.

         On October 18,  1996,  the Company  signed an  agreement  to extend its
         borrowing capacity under its unsecured line of credit from $215 million
         to $325 million.

         On October 25,  1996,  the Company  sold  1,740,000  shares of Series A
         Cumulative  Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share.
         The proceeds derived from the sale of preferred stock were used to fund
         a portion of  the  acquisition of a portfolio of properties  located in
         suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

         The  following   discussion   is  based   primarily  on  the  Condensed

information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  accompanying  condensed
consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto. These financial statements
include all  adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to
reflect a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, and all such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Real Estate Operating Revenue

         Total real estate operating revenue increased $20.8 million,  or 81.8%,
to $46.1  million for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 as compared to
$25.4  million for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  The increase in
revenue  was  primarily  attributable  to a  $19.8  million  and a $1.0  million
increase in rental revenue and real estate service  revenue,  respectively.  The
Company  experienced  net  growth  in its  rental  revenue  as a  result  of its
acquisitions  since the third  quarter of 1995 which  contributed  approximately
$21.6  million of  additional  rental  revenue in the three month  period  ended
September 30, 1996.  Rental revenue from  properties  that were fully  operating
throughout both periods  decreased by approximately  $1.8 million as a result of
increased vacancies experienced in these properties. Real estate service revenue
increased by $1.0 million,  or 37.7%,  for the three months ended  September 30,
1996 to $3.6  million as compared to $2.6  million  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1995,  primarily as a result of  development  fees earned by Carr
Development & Construction, Inc., which was acquired by the Company in May 1996.

Real Estate Operating Expenses

         Total real estate  operating  expenses  increased $16.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, or 80.5%, to $37.5 million as compared to
$20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The net increase in
operating  expenses  was  attributable  to a $5.9  million  increase in property
operating expenses,  a $2.3 million increase in interest expense, a $1.4 million
increase in general and administrative  expenses, and a $7.1 million increase in
depreciation and amortization.  The increase in property  operating expenses was
primarily attributable to property acquisitions since the third quarter of 1995.
The  increase  in  the  Company's  interest  expense  is  primarily  related  to
borrowings for acquisitions. The increase in general and administrative expenses
is  predominately  a  result  of the  addition  of new  staff to  implement  the
Company's new business  strategy,  the addition of approximately  $.6 million of
expenses  associated with Carr Development & Construction,  Inc., and inflation.
The increase in  depreciation  and  amortization  is  predominately  a result of
additional   depreciation   and   amortization  on  the  Company's  real  estate
acquisitions.

Other Operating Income (Expense)

         Other operating income increased $.3 million for the three months ended
September  30,  1996,  to $.5  million as  compared to $.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, primarily due to an increase in interest income
and the addition of equity in earnings of CC-JM II Associates.  The Company is a
50%  venturer  in this  entity,  which  constructed  the  Booz-Allen  & Hamilton
Building that was placed in service in January 1996.

 Net Income

         Net  income of $7.9  million  was  earned  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1996 as compared to $3.4  million  during the three month  period
ended  September  30,  1995.  The  comparability  of net income  between the two
periods is impacted by the  acquisitions  the Company made and the other changes
described above.


Cash Flows

         Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased $20.6 million, or
320.4%,  to $27.0  million  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 as
compared  to $6.4  million  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1995,
primarily as a result of the acquisitions made by the Company.  Net cash used by
investing  activities  increased $144.0 million, to $162.3 million for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1996 as  compared  to $18.3  million for the three
months ended  September 30, 1995,  primarily as a result of capital  deployed by
the  Company  for  acquisitions  of  office  properties,  land  held for  future
development  and  construction  in  process.  Net  cash  provided  by  financing
activities increased $130.9 million to $136.5 million for the three months ended
September  30, 1996 as compared to $5.6  million  provided  for the three months
ended  September  30, 1995,  primarily as a result of proceeds  from the sale of
common  stock,  partially  offset by net  repayments  on the  Company's  line of
credit.


Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Real Estate Operating Revenue

         Total real estate operating revenue increased $35.5 million,  or 47.7%,
to $109.9  million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 as compared to
$74.4  million for the nine months ended  September  30,  1995.  The increase in
revenue  was  primarily  attributable  to a  $34.0  million  and a $1.5  million
increase in rental revenue and real estate service  revenue,  respectively.  The
Company  experienced  net  growth  in its  rental  revenue  as a  result  of its
acquisitions  since the third  quarter of 1995 which  contributed  approximately
$36.8  million of  additional  rental  revenue in the nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 1996.  Rental revenue from  properties  that were fully  operating
throughout both periods decreased by approximately $2.8 million due to increased
vacancies experienced in those properties. Real estate service revenue increased
by $1.5 million,  or 19.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $9.3
million as compared to $7.7  million for the nine  months  ended  September  30,
1995.  The  increase  was  primarily  as a  result  of an  increase  in  leasing
commissions  earned in the first quarter of 1996 and development  fees earned by
Carr Development & Construction,  Inc., which was acquired by the Company in May
1996.

Real Estate Operating Expenses

         Total real estate  operating  expenses  increased $31.3 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1996, or 52.0%, to $91.6 million as compared to
$60.3 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995. The net increase in
operating  expenses was  attributable  to a $10.5  million  increase in property
operating expenses,  a $5.6 million increase in interest expense, a $2.8 million
increase in general and administrative expenses, and a $12.4 million increase in
depreciation and amortization.  The increase in property  operating expenses was
primarily  attributable  to $9.7 million in operating  expenses  associated with
property  acquisitions since September 30, 1995. Exclusive of operating expenses
attributable to new property acquisitions, property operating expenses increased
by $.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996  predominately  as a
result of higher real estate tax assessments and repairs and maintenance  costs.
The  increase  in  the  Company's  interest  expense  is  primarily  related  to
borrowings for acquisitions. The increase in general and administrative expenses
is  predominately  a  result  of the  addition  of new  staff to  implement  the
Company's new business  strategy,  the addition of approximately $1.1 million of
expenses  associated with Carr Development & Construction,  Inc., and inflation.
The increase in  depreciation  and  amortization

is  predominately a result of additional  depreciation  and  amortization on the
Company's real estate acquisitions.

Other Operating Income (Expense)

         Other operating  income increased $.9 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996,  to $1.6  million as  compared to $.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995; primarily due to an increase in interest income
and the addition of equity in earnings of CC-JM II Associates.  The Company is a
50%  venturer  in this  entity,  which  constructed  the  Booz-Allen  & Hamilton
Building that was placed in service in January 1996.

Net Income

         Net  income of $15.5  million  was  earned  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996 as compared to $10.4  million  during the nine month  period
ended  September  30,  1995.  The  comparability  of net income  between the two
periods is impacted by the  acquisitions  the Company made and the other changes
described above.

Cash Flows

         Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased $23.0 million, or
94.4%, to $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to $24.4 million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  primarily as a
result of the  acquisitions  made by the  Company.  Net cash  used by  investing
activities increased $450.8 million, to $484.6 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996 as compared  to $33.8  million  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995, primarily as a result of capital deployed by the Company for
acquisitions  of  office  properties,  land  held  for  future  development  and
construction  in process.  Net cash provided by financing  activities  increased
$443.4 million to $442.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to $1.1  million  used for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995,
primarily  as a result of  proceeds  from the sale of  common  stock and the net
borrowings necessary for the Company's acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  total  indebtedness  at  September  30, 1996 was $426.1
million, of which $72.0 million,  or 16.9%, had a LIBOR-based  floating interest
rate. The Company's fixed rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate
of 8.3% and had a weighted average term to maturity of 6.2 years. In addition to
the indebtedness outstanding,  the Company can borrow up to an additional $143.0
million under its unsecured  revolving  line of credit which bears a LIBOR-based
floating  interest  rate (see  below).   Based upon the  Company's  total market
capitalization  at September  30, 1996 of $1,450.7  million (the stock price was
$25.00 per share and the total  shares/Units  outstanding were  40,985,556,  the
Company's debt represented 29.4% of its total market capitalization. 

         On October 18, 1996, the Company expanded its unsecured credit facility
from $215 million to $325 million. The Company intends to use the line of credit
to finance acquisitions and development activities, for capital expenditures and
for  working  capital  purposes.  The Company  has drawn  $145.0  million on its
unsecured  line  of  credit  in  conjunction  with  various  acquisitions  since
September 30, 1996.

         The Company's  operating  properties  require  periodic  investments of
capital  for  tenant-related   capital  expenditures  and  for  general  capital
improvement projects. The Company has recently completed large-scale renovations
of  certain of the  Company's  Washington,  D.C.  properties  to  improve  these
properties'  market  position and to bring the properties  into  compliance with
certain new local and  federal  laws.  As a result,  the  Company  expects  that
general capital  expenditures for its Washington,  D.C. properties will be lower
than the  general  capital  expenditures  the  Company  has  incurred  for these
properties over the last three years.  The Company has recently begun renovating
several garages at its Washington, D.C. properties at an estimated total cost of
approximately  $3.5  million,   or  $1.45  per  square  foot  of  the  Company's
Washington,  D.C. properties,  to be spent over the next two years. Exclusive of
the  garage  renovations,   general  capital   expenditures  for  the  Company's
Washington,  D.C.  properties are expected to be  approximately  $1.0 million or
less  annually, or $.40 or less per  square  foot annually.  With respect to the
Company's  recent  acquisitions in select  suburban growth markets,  the Company
expects  that the  annual  capital  expenditures  for these  properties  will be
substantially  less than the  Company  has  incurred  for its  Washington,  D.C.
properties.  Based on  current  market  conditions  in its target  markets,  the
Company  expects  that  tenant-related   capital  expenditures  for  its  recent
acquisitions  will be  approximately  $7.75 to $8.25 per square  foot leased for
leases entered into in the next 12 months.  The Company expects that this amount
should decline if market  conditions in its target markets  continue to improve.
The  Company   believes   that  general   capital   expenditures   will  average
approximately  $.30 per  square  foot  owned on an annual  basis for its  recent
acquisitions.  The Company anticipates  funding the capital  requirements of its
Washington,  D.C.  properties  and of its new  acquisitions  with cash flow from
operations and, if necessary, with proceeds from its line of credit.

         The Company's estimates regarding capital  expenditures set forth above
are forward-looking  information representing the Company's best estimates based
on currently available information.  As with any estimates,  they are based on a
number of assumptions,  any of which, if unrealized,  could adversely affect the
accuracy  of the  estimates.  These  assumptions  include  that (i) the  Company
experiences  tenant retention rates consistent with its  expectations,  (ii) the
supply/demand  characteristics  for office space in the Company's target markets
do  not  vary  materially  from  the  Company's   expectations,   (iii)  leasing
commissions  associated with obtaining new tenants or retaining existing tenants
are consistent  with the Company's past experience and future  expectation,  and
(iv) the Company does not acquire operating office properties in the future that
require substantial renovations.

         Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $27.0  million for the
three months ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $6.4 million for the three
months ended  September 30, 1995. The increase in net cash provided by operating
activities  was  primarily  as a result  of  acquisitions  made by the  Company,
partially offset by decreased net income at certain of its operating properties.
The Company's investing  activities used approximately  $162.3 million and $18.3
million for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
The  Company's  investment   activities  included  the  acquisitions  of  office
buildings, land held for development,  and additions to construction in process,
for approximately  $157.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
as compared  to $18.4  million in  acquisitions  during the same period in 1995.
Additionally,  the Company invested  approximately $3.9 million and $2.7 million
in the existing real estate assets for the three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Exclusive of distributions to the Company's shareholders
and minority interests,  the Company's financing activities provided net cash of
$153.8  million and $13.3 million for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995  respectively.  For the three months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the
Company raised $216.7 million through the sale of common stock which was used to
repay  $62.0  million  of its line of credit and to fund  acquisitions.  For the
three months ended September 30, 1995, the Company borrowed  approximately $14.3
million to provide adequate capital for the Company's investing activities.

         Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $47.4  million for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $24.4  million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1995. The increase in net cash provided by operating
activities  was  primarily  as a result  of  acquisitions  made by the  Company,
partially offset by decreased net income at certain of its operating properties.
The Company's investing  activities used approximately  $484.6 million and $33.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company's  investment  activities included the acquisitions of office buildings,
land held for future  development  and additions to  construction in process for
approximately  $469.6  million  and  the  acquisition  of  real  estate  service
contracts for approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, as compared to acquisition  activity of $18.4 million of office  buildings
and $7.4  million of real  estate  service  contracts  during the same period in
1995.  Additionally,  the Company invested  approximately  $5.8 million and $7.7
million in the existing real estate  assets for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Exclusive of  distributions  to the Company's
shareholders and minority interests, the Company's financing activities provided
net cash of $475.0 million and $22.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995  respectively.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,
the Company  raised $461.3  million  through the sale of common stock,  borrowed
$72.0  million  on the  Company's  line of credit and  repaid  $56.4  million of
indebtedness to provide adequate capital for the Company's investing activities,
as compared to  approximately  borrowing $24.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.

         Rental revenue and real estate service  revenue have been the principal
sources of capital to fund the Company's  operating  expenses,  debt service and
capital expenditures,  excluding nonrecurring capital expenditures.  The Company
believes that rental  revenue and real estate  service  revenue will continue to
provide the  necessary  funds for its operating  expenses and debt service.  The
Company  expects  to fund  capital  expenditures,  including  tenant  concession
packages and building  renovations from (a) available cash flow from operations;
(b)  existing  capital  reserves;  and  (c)  if  necessary,   credit  facilities
established   with  third  party   lenders.   If  these  sources  of  funds  are
insufficient,  the Company's ability to make expected dividends may be adversely
impacted. At September 30, 1996, the Company had cash of $22.9 million, of which
$8.6 million was restricted.

         The Company's  dividends are paid  quarterly.  Amounts  accumulated for
distribution  will  predominately  be  invested  by the  Company  in  short-term
investments  that  are   collateralized  by  securities  of  the  United  States
Government or any of its agencies.

                    and Results of Operations of the Company
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Management  believes  that the Company  will have access to the capital
resources necessary to expand and develop its business. Accordingly, the Company
may seek to obtain funds through  additional equity  offerings,  joint ventures,
asset sales,  or debt  financing in a manner  consistent  with its  intention to
operate with a  conservative  borrowing  policy.  The Company  anticipates  that
adequate  cash  will be  available  to fund  its  operating  and  administrative
expenses,  to continue debt service obligations,  to pay dividends in accordance
with REIT requirements, and to acquire additional rental properties.

         The  Company  believes  that funds from  operations  is an  appropriate
measure of the  performance  of an equity REIT because  industry  analysts  have
accepted it as a  performance  measure of equity REITs.  In accordance  with the
final  NAREIT White Paper on Funds From  Operations  as approved by the Board of
Governors  of NAREIT on March 3, 1995,  funds  from  operations  represents  net
income  (loss)  (computed  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles),  excluding  gains  (losses)  from  debt  restructuring  or sales of
property,  plus depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely  significant to
the real estate industry and after adjustments for  unconsolidated  partnerships
and  joint  ventures.  Adjustments  for  unconsolidated  partnerships  and joint
ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from  operations on the same basis.
The Company's  funds from  operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 have been restated to conform to the new NAREIT definition of
funds from  operations.  Funds from  operations does not represent net income or
cash flows  generated  from  operating  activities in accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  and should not be considered an alternative to
net income as an indication of the Company's  performance  or to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity or the Company's ability to make distributions.

         The following  table provides the  calculation  of the Company's  funds
from  operations  for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995 (in thousands):

Item 5.    Other Information.

           On October 25, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted a
Second  Amendment and Restatement of By-Laws which  incorporated  all previously
approved  amendments  to the By-Laws and two new  amendments:  an  amendment  of
Section 3.01 of the By-Laws to provide that the annual  Meeting of  Stockholders
of the  Corporation  shall be held each year  between  May 1 and May 31; and the
amendment of Section 3.02 of the By-Laws to provide  that,  in  accordance  with
recent  legislation  from the State of Maryland (H.B. 636), a special meeting of
stockholders  called at the request of stockholders must be requested by holders
of 35% or more of the issued  and  outstanding  shares of  capital  stock of the
Corporation  entitled to vote at the meeting. A copy of the Second Amendment and
Restatement of By-Laws is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 10-Q.

           On October  24,  1996,  the  Company  filed with the  Maryland  State
Department  of  Assessments  and  Taxation  Articles Supplementary  of  Series A
Cumulative  Convertible  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock (the  "Series A  Preferred
Stock") in connection with the sale, on October 25, 1996, of 1,740,000 shares of
the Series A Preferred  Stock. A copy of the Articles  Supplementary is attached
as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 10-Q.

           On  November  1, 1996,  the  Company  acquired  38  operating  office
buildings  and one office  building  currently  under  construction  in Atlanta,
Georgia  and one  operating  property  located  in Boca  Raton,  Florida  for an
aggregate  purchase price of approximately  $128 million.  The consideration for
these  acquisitions  was paid through a combination of cash,  issuance of common
stock of the Company and the  assumption  of  approximately  $22 million in debt
that  bears  interest  at an annual  rate of 7.2% and  matures  in 2006.  The 39
operating office  properties (the "Peterson  Portfolio")  contain  approximately
1,437,000  square feet of space.  The building under  construction  will contain
approximately 128,000 square feet when completed.

           The  historical   financial   statements  relating  to  the  Peterson
Portfolio required by Item 7 (a) of Form 8-K were filed with the Commission on a
Current Report on Form 8-K on October 24, 1996. It is impracticable at this time
to file the pro forma financial  information  relating to the Peterson Portfolio
required  by Item 7 (b) of Form 8-K.   The  Company  will  file  such pro  forma
financial statements  with the Commission as soon as they are  available but not
later than January 14, 1997.

                                       OF

having its principal office in Maryland in Baltimore,  Maryland,  and having the

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                  STOCKHOLDERS

     Section 3.01. Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the stockholders shall

entitled to be voted at the meeting.  Such a request  shall state the purpose or
purposes of the proposed meeting.


<PAGE>


     Section 3.03. Place of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders possessing voting
shares shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Maryland,  as
the Board of Directors designates.

     Section 3.04. Notice of Stockholder Meetings.

annual or special  stockholder  meeting  shall be delivered not less than 10 nor
more than 60 days before the date of the meeting,  either personally or by mail,
by or at the  direction  of the  President,  the  Board of  Directors,  or other
persons calling the meeting,  to each  stockholder of record entitled to vote at
such  meeting  and to any other  stockholder  entitled by the  Maryland  General
Corporation  Law or the  Articles  of  Incorporation  to  receive  notice of the
meeting.  Notice  shall be deemed to be  effective  at the  earlier of: (1) when
deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address
as it appears  on the stock  transfer  books of the  corporation,  with  postage
thereon  prepaid;  (2) on the  date  shown  on the  return  receipt  if  sent by
registered  or certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  and the receipt is
signed by or on behalf of the addressee; or (3) when received.

     (b)  Adjourned  Meeting.  If any  stockholder  meeting  is  adjourned  to a
different date, time, or place,  notice need not be given of the new date, time,
and place,  if the new date,  time, and place is announced at the meeting before

fixed,  then notice must be given pursuant to the  requirements of paragraph (a)
of this Section 3.04, to those persons who are stockholders as of the new record
date.

     (c) Waiver of Notice. A stockholder may waive notice of the meeting (or any
notice  required  by  the  Maryland  General   Corporation   Law,   Articles  of
Incorporation,  or  these  By-laws),  by a  writing  signed  by the  stockholder
entitled to the notice,  which is delivered to the Corporation (either before or
after the date and time stated in the notice)  for  inclusion  in the minutes or
filing with the corporate records.

     A stockholder's attendance at a meeting:

     (1) waives  objection to lack of notice or defective  notice of the meeting
         unless the  stockholder  at the  beginning  of the  meeting  objects to
         holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; or

<PAGE>

     (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting
         that is not within the  purpose or  purposes  described  in the meeting
         notice,  unless the stockholder  objects to considering the matter when
         it is presented.

     (d)  Contents of Notice.  The notice of each  special  stockholder  meeting
shall include a description  of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called.  Except as  provided  in this  Section  3.04 (d),  or as provided in the
Corporation's  Articles of  Incorporation,  or otherwise in the Maryland General
Corporation Law, the notice of an annual stockholder  meeting need not include a
description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

     Section 3.05.  Fixing of Record Date;  List of  Stockholders.  The Board of
Directors may fix, in advance,  a record date not less than thirty nor more than
ninety  days  before the date then fixed for the  holding of any  meeting of the
stockholders. The record date shall not be prior to the close of business on the
day the record date is fixed.  All persons who were  holders of record of shares
at such time,  and no others,  shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and any
adjournment thereof. At each meeting of stockholders,  a true, full and complete
list of all  stockholders  entitled to vote at each meeting,  showing the number
and class of shares held by each and  certified by the  transfer  agent for such
class or by the  Secretary,  shall be furnished by the Secretary to the Board of
Directors.

     Section 3.06.  Quorum.  The holders,  present in person or  represented  by
proxy,  of a  majority  of the issued and  outstanding  shares of capital  stock
entitled to be voted at a meeting shall  constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business at the meeting.  If less than a quorum is present,  the holders of a
majority of such shares  whose  holders are so present or  represented  may from
time to time adjourn the meeting to another  place,  date or hour until a quorum
is present,  whereupon the meeting may be held, as  adjourned,  without  further
notice except as required by law or by Section 3.04.

     Section  3.07.  Voting.  When a  quorum  is  present  at a  meeting  of the
stockholders,  the vote of the  holders of a  majority  of the shares of capital
stock entitled to be voted whose holders are present in person or represented by
proxy shall decide any question brought before the meeting,  unless the question
is  one  upon  which,  by  express  provision  of  law  or of  the  Articles  of
Incorporation  or of  these  By-laws,  a  different  vote  is  required.  Unless
otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder shall at a
meeting of the 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>


stockholders be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of
capital stock  entitled to be voted held by such  stockholders.  At a meeting of
the stockholders,  all questions  relating to the  qualifications of voters, the
validity of proxies,  and the  acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided
by the presiding officer of the meeting.

     Section 3.08.  Presiding Officer of Meetings.  The Chairman of the Board of
Directors,  or in his  absence  the Chief  Executive  Officer,  or in both their

majority of the shares of capital  stock  entitled to be voted whose holders are
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

     Section 3.09. Secretary of Meetings. The Secretary of the Corporation shall
act as  secretary  of all  meetings of the  stockholders.  In the absence of the
Secretary,  the presiding  officer of the meeting shall appoint any other person

or which is executed by his duly authorized  attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy shall
be filed with the Secretary of the  Corporation  or other persons  authorized to
tabulate  votes  before or at the time of the  meeting.  No proxy shall be valid
after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise  provided in the
proxy.

     Section 3.11. Nominations and Stockholder Business.

     (a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

     (1) With  respect to an annual  meeting  of  stockholders,  nominations  of
         persons for  election  to the Board of  Directors  and the  proposal of
         business to be considered by the  stockholders  may be made only (i) by
         or at  the  direction  of  the  Board  of  Directors  or  (ii)  by  any
         stockholder of the  Corporation  who was a stockholder of record at the
         time of giving  notice of such  nomination,  who is entitled to vote at
         the meeting and who complied  with the notice  procedures  set forth in
         this Section 3.11(a).

     (2) For  nominations  or other  business to be properly  brought  before an
         annual  meeting by a  stockholder 

                                      -4-


<PAGE>

         pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph  (a)(1) of this Section 3.11,  the
         stockholder  must have given  timely  notice  thereof in writing to the
         Secretary of the  Corporation.  To be timely,  a  stockholder's  notice
         shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal  executive offices
         of the Corporation not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to
         the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
         however,  that in the  event  that the date of the  annual  meeting  is
         advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such
         anniversary  date,  notice by the  stockholder  to be timely must be so
         delivered  not earlier  than the 90th day prior to such annual  meeting
         and not later than the close of  business  on the later of the 60th day
         prior to such  annual  meeting  or the tenth day  following  the day on
         which  public  announcement  of the date of such meeting is first made.
         Such  stockholder's  notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom
         the  stockholder  proposes to nominate for election or  reelection as a
         director all information relating to such person that is required to be
         disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors,  or is
         otherwise  required,  in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the
         Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended  (including  such person's
         written  consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
         to serving as a director  if  elected);  (ii) as to any other  business
         that the stockholder  proposed to bring before the meeting, the reasons
         for conducting  such business at the meeting and any material  interest
         in such business of such  stockholder  and of the beneficial  owner, if
         any,  on  whose  behalf  the  proposal  is  made;  and  (iii) as to the
         stockholder  giving notice and the beneficial  owner,  if any, on whose
         behalf the nomination or proposal is made, the name and address of such
         stockholder,  as they  appear  on the  Corporation's  books and of such
         beneficial  owner and the class and number of shares of the Corporation
         which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such
         beneficial owner.

     (3) Notwithstanding  anything in the second sentence of Section  3.11(a)(2)
         to the  contrary,  in the  event  that the  number of  directors  to be
         elected to the Board of Directors  is increased  and there is no public
         announcement  naming all of the nominees for

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         director or  specifying  the size of the  increased  Board of Directors
         made by the Corporation at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary
         of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required
         by this Section 3.11(a) shall also be considered  timely, but only with
         respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase,  if
         it shall be  delivered  to the  Secretary  at the  principal  executive
         offices of the  Corporation not later than the close of business on the
         tenth day following the day on which such public  announcement is first
         made by the Corporation.

     (b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted
at a special  meeting  of  stockholders  as shall have been  brought  before the
meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.  Nominations of persons
for  election  to the Board of  Directors  may be made at a special  meeting  of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the  Corporation's
notice of meeting (i) by or at the  direction  of the Board of Directors or (ii)
provided  that the Board of Directors has  determined  that  directors  shall be
elected at such special meeting,  by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a
stockholder  of record at the time of  giving  of  notice  provided  for in this
Section  3.11(b),  who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied  with
the  notice  procedures  set  forth in this  Section  3.11(b).  In the event the
Corporation  calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing

to be exercised or done by the stockholder.

shall not be affected by any decrease in the authorized number of Directors.

the  Directors  of the  Corporation  by the  incorporater  in  the  Articles  of

     (c) Unless by the terms of the action  pursuant to which he was elected any
special  condition  or  conditions  must be  fulfilled  in  order  for him to be
qualified,  a person  elected as a Director  shall be deemed to be qualified (1)
upon his receipt of notice of election and his indication of acceptance  thereof
or (2) upon the  expiration of ten days after notice of election is given to him
without  his  having  given  notice  of  inability  or  unwillingness  to serve.
Directors  do not  need to be  residents  of  Maryland  or  stockholders  of the

which they severally hold office,  into three classes, as nearly equal in number
as possible.  One class shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders  to be held in 1994.  Another class shall serve for a term expiring
at the annual meeting of  stockholders  to be held in 1995.  Another class shall
serve for a term expiring at the annual  meeting of  stockholders  to be held in
1996.  Each  class  will  hold  office  until its  successors  are  elected  and
qualified.  At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the  Corporation,  the
successors of the class of directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be
elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
held in the third year following the year of their election.

stockholders  any vacancy  exists in the Board of  Directors by reason of death,

otherwise,  it may be filled by vote of a majority of the Directors in office. A
director  elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy  shall hold office

shall be  elected  to fill the  remaining  term of the  position  filled by such
director.

registered  or certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  and the receipt is

meeting. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing,
signed by the  Director  entitled to the  notice,  and filed with the minutes or
corporate records.  The attendance of a Director at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting,  except where a Director attends a meeting for
the express  purpose of objecting to the  transaction of any business and at the
beginning of the meeting (or promptly  upon his arrival)  objects to holding the
meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and does not thereafter vote for

Directors,  the  presence of a majority  or more of (i) the number of  Directors
fixed by Section 4.02(a),  less (ii) the number of Directors who have so recused
themselves,  shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of
business at such meeting of the Board of Directors;  provided further,  however,

of Directors.

the proceedings of the Board or committee.

     contract or  transaction  are  disclosed  or are known to the  stockholders
     entitled to vote thereon,  and the contract or transaction is  specifically
     authorized,  approved  or  ratified  by a majority of the votes cast by the
     stockholders  entitled  to

     vote other than the votes of shares owned of record or  beneficially by the
     interested Director, officer, corporation, firm or other entity.

No such contract or transaction shall be entered into by the Corporation  unless
the terms of the  contract or  transaction  have been  approved by action of the
Board of Directors with the interested Director abstaining.

     Section  9.03.  Corporate  Opportunity.  Any  Director  or  officer  of the
Corporation who simultaneously serves as a director,  officer or employee of any
other  corporation,  partnership,  association,  firm or  other  entity  ("Other
Company") shall refrain from communicating to such Other Company, and from using
or otherwise  acting on behalf of such Other Company,  any information  acquired
solely as a result of his  position as a Director or officer of the  Corporation
concerning any business  opportunity under  consideration by the Corporation for
itself, Carr Realty, L.P. or any direct or indirect subsidiary of either. If the
Other Company has independently  learned about a business opportunity also under
consideration  by the  Corporation,  and if such  Director  or  officer  has not
participated in the  consideration of the opportunity by the  Corporation,  then
such  Director  or  officer  may  participate  in  the   consideration  of  that
opportunity  by such  Other  Company  provided  that such  Director  or  officer
abstains from all  participation in the consideration of that opportunity by the
Corporation  unless and until such Other Company has concluded its consideration
of such  opportunity and determined not to pursue such opportunity  further.  If
such  Director  or officer  has  participated  or wishes to  participate  in the
consideration of such an opportunity by the  Corporation,  then such Director or
officer  shall  abstain  from  all  participation  in the  consideration  of the
opportunity by the Other Company unless and until the  Corporation has concluded
its  consideration  of  such  opportunity  and  determined  not  to  pursue  the
opportunity  further.  In connection with the foregoing,  each such Director and
officer shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to make a judgment whether he
will participate with the Corporation in the  consideration of any such business
opportunity,  including  without  limitation,  a  reasonable  time to  determine
whether any Other  Company  which such  Director  or officer  serves has learned
about any such  business  opportunity;  provided,  however,  that in making such
judgment  such Director or officer shall not have taken (or omitted to take) any
action  inconsistent  with the first  sentence  of this  Section  9.03.  No such
Director or officer shall be deemed to have participated in the consideration of
any business  opportunity by the  Corporation  unless and until such Director or


                                      -17-

officer has been  afforded a reasonable  opportunity  to make such  judgment and
decision.  The  provisions  of this  Section  9.03 are in  addition to any other
restrictions imposed by law or otherwise.

notice,  whether  before  or after  the time  stated  therein,  shall be  deemed
equivalent  thereto.  Attendance at a meeting for which notice is required shall
be deemed  waiver of such notice  unless such  attendance  is for the purpose of

the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

     Section 3.Dividends.

     (a)The  holders of Series A  Preferred  Stock shall be entitled to receive,
when,  as and if  declared  by the  Board  of  Directors  out of  funds  legally
available  for that  purpose,  dividends  payable in cash in an amount per share
equal  to the  greater  of (i)  $1.75  per  annum  or (ii)  the  cash  dividends
(determined  on each Dividend  Payment Date) paid on the shares of Common Stock,
or  portion  thereof,  into  which  a share  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  is
convertible.  The  dividends  referred  to in  clause  (ii)  of the  immediately
preceding  sentence shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock, or portion
thereof,  into  which a share  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  is  convertible,
multiplied  by the most  current  quarterly  dividend  paid on a share of Common
Stock on or before the applicable  Dividend  Payment Date.  Such dividends shall
begin to accrue and shall be fully  cumulative  from the Issue Date,  whether or
not in any Dividend  Period or Periods  there shall be funds of the  Corporation
legally  available  for the  payment  of such  dividends,  and shall be  payable
quarterly,  when,  as and if declared by the Board of  Directors,  in arrears on
Dividend Payment Dates,  commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the

of  Series A  Preferred  Stock,  as they  appear  on the  stock  records  of the
Corporation at the close of business on the record date, not more than 50 days


                                      -4-
<PAGE>


preceding the relevant  Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the Board of
Directors.  Accrued and unpaid  dividends for any past  Dividend  Periods may be
declared and paid at any time and for such interim periods, without reference to
any  regular  Dividend  Payment  Date,  to holders  of record on such date,  not
exceeding 50 days  preceding  the payment date  thereof,  as may be fixed by the
Board of Directors.  Any dividend  payment made on the Series A Preferred  Stock
shall first be credited  against the  earliest  accrued but unpaid  dividend due
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock which remains payable.

     (b)  The amount of dividends  referred  to in clause  (i) of  Section  3(a)
payable for each full Dividend  Period for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
computed by dividing  the annual  dividend  rate by four.  The initial  Dividend
Period will include a partial  dividend for the period from the Issue Date until
November 30,  1996.  The amount of  dividends  payable for the initial  Dividend
Period,  or any other period shorter or longer than a full Dividend  Period,  on
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days in such Dividend  Period.  Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to any  dividends,  whether  payable in cash,  property or shares of
stock, in excess of cumulative  dividends,  as herein provided,  on the Series A
Preferred  Stock.  No interest,  or sum of money in lieu of  interest,  shall be
payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred
Stock that may be in arrears.

     (c)  So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are  outstanding, no
dividends,  except as described in the immediately following sentence,  shall be
declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of Parity Stock
for any period unless full cumulative  dividends have been or  contemporaneously
are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient  for the payment  thereof
set apart for such  payment on the  Series A  Preferred  Stock for all  Dividend
Periods  terminating on or prior to the dividend  payment date for such class or
series of Parity Stock.  When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient
for such payment is not set apart,  as aforesaid,  all  dividends  declared upon
Series A  Preferred  Stock and all  dividends  declared  upon any other class or
series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective
amounts of dividends  accumulated and unpaid on the Series A Preferred Stock and
accumulated and unpaid on such Parity Stock.

     (d)  So long as any shares of Series A Preferred  Stock are outstanding, no
dividends  (other than dividends or  distributions  paid solely in shares of, or
options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Fully Junior
Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other  distribution
declared or made upon Junior Stock or Fully Junior  Stock,  nor shall any Junior
Stock or Fully Junior Stock be redeemed,  purchased or otherwise acquired (other
than a redemption,  purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made
for purposes of any employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any
subsidiary)  for any  consideration  (or any moneys be paid to or made available
for a sinking fund for the  redemption  of any such shares) by the  Corporation,
directly or  indirectly  (except by  conversion  into or exchange  for shares of
Fully Junior Stock),  unless in each case (i) the full  cumulative  dividends on
all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock of
the

                                      -5-

<PAGE>



Corporation  shall  have  been or  contemporaneously  are  declared  and paid or
declared and set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to
the Series A Preferred Stock and all past dividend  periods with respect to such
Parity Stock and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been or contemporaneously  are
declared  and paid or declared and set apart for the payment of the dividend for
the current Dividend Period with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the
current dividend period with respect to such Parity Stock.

     (e)  No distributions on Series A Preferred  Stock shall be declared by the
Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the  Corporation  at such
time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation,  including
any agreement relating to its indebtedness,  prohibits such declaration, payment
or setting  apart for  payment or  provides  that such  declaration,  payment or
setting  apart  for  payment  would  constitute  a breach  thereof  or a default
thereunder,  or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited
by law.

     Section 4.Liquidation Preference.

     (a)  In the event of any  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding  up of the
Corporation,   whether   voluntary  or   involuntary,   before  any  payment  or
distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall
be made to or set apart for the  holders  of Junior  Stock,  the  holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $25.00 per share of Series
A Preferred  Stock plus an amount equal to all dividends  (whether or not earned
or declared)  accrued and unpaid  thereon to the date of final  distribution  to
such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If,
upon any liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,  the assets
of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof,  distributable among the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be  insufficient to pay in full the  preferential
amount  aforesaid and  liquidating  payments on any other shares of any class or
series of Parity  Stock,  then such assets,  or the proceeds  thereof,  shall be
distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any such other
Parity Stock ratably in  accordance  with the  respective  amounts that would be
payable on such Series A Preferred  Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all
amounts  payable  thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4,
(i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more  corporations,
real estate investment trusts, or other entities, (ii) a sale, lease or transfer
of all or substantially  all of the  Corporation's  assets, or (iii) a statutory
share exchange  shall not be deemed to be a liquidation,  dissolution or winding
up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

     (b)  Subject to the rights of the  holders of shares of any series or class
or classes of capital  stock  ranking on a parity  with or prior to the Series A
Preferred  Stock  upon   liquidation,   dissolution  or  winding  up,  upon  any
liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,  after payment shall
have  been made in full to the  holders  of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock,  as
provided in this Section 4,

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

any other  series or class or  classes  of Junior  Stock or Fully  Junior  Stock
shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto,
be entitled to receive any and all assets  remaining to be paid or  distributed,
and the holders of the Series A  Preferred  Stock shall not be entitled to share
therein.

     Section  5.Conversion.  Holders of Series A Preferred  Stock shall have the
right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock, as
follows:

     (a) The Series A Preferred  Stock shall not be  convertible  by the holders
thereof  prior to the date that is six (6) months  following  the Issue Date. On
and after the date that is six (6) months  following  the Issue Date and subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, a holder of Series
A  Preferred  Stock shall have the right,  at his or her option,  at any time to
convert such shares into the number of fully paid and non- assessable  shares of
Common Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate  liquidation  preference of such
shares  by the  Conversion  Price  (as in  effect  at the  time  and on the date
provided for in the last paragraph of Section 5(b)) by surrendering  such shares
to be  converted,  such  surrender to be made in the manner  provided in Section
5(b); provided,  however, that the right to convert shares called for redemption
pursuant  to Section 6 shall  terminate  at the close of  business  on the fifth
Business  Day  prior to the Call  Date  fixed for such  redemption,  unless  the
Corporation  shall  default  in making  payment  of the cash  payable  upon such
redemption  under Section 6.

     (b) In order to exercise the conversion  right, the holder of each share of
Series A  Preferred  Stock  to be  converted  shall  surrender  the  certificate
representing  such share,  duly  endorsed or assigned to the  Corporation  or in
blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice to the
Corporation  that the holder  thereof  elects to convert such shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock.  Unless the shares  issuable on conversion are to be issued in
the same name as the name in which such  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock is
registered,  each share  surrendered  for  conversion  shall be  accompanied  by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation,  duly executed
by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient
to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence  reasonably  satisfactory to the
Corporation  demonstrating t hat such taxes have been paid).

     Holders of Series A Preferred  Stock at the close of business on a dividend
payment  record date shall be entitled to receive the  dividend  payable on such
shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion
thereof  following such dividend  payment record date and prior to such Dividend
Payment Date.  However,  Series A Preferred  Stock  surrendered  for  conversion
during the period  between the close of business on any dividend  payment record
date and the opening of  business on the  corresponding  Dividend  Payment  Date
(except shares converted after the issuance of notice of redemption 


                                      -7-
<PAGE>


with  respect  to a Call  Date  during  such  period,  such  shares  of Series A
Preferred  Stock being  entitled to such dividend on the Dividend  Payment Date)
must be  accompanied  by payment of an amount equal to the  dividend  payable on
such  shares  on such  Dividend  Payment  Date.  A holder  of shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock on a dividend  payment  record  date who (or whose  transferee)
tenders  any such  shares  for  conversion  into  shares of Common  Stock on the
corresponding  Dividend  Payment Date will  receive the dividend  payable by the
Corporation  on such  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock on such date,  and the
converting  holder need not include  payment of the amount of such dividend upon
surrender of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for  conversion.  Except as
provided above,  the  Corporation  shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid
dividends,  whether or not in arrears,  on converted  shares or for dividends on
the  shares  of Common  Stock  issued  upon  such  conversion.  

     As promptly as practicable  after the surrender of certificates  for shares
of Series A Preferred Stock as aforesaid,  the Corporation shall issue and shall
deliver  at such  office  to such  holder,  or on his or her  written  order,  a
certificate  or  certificates  for the  number of full  shares  of Common  Stock
issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with the provisions of
this  Section  5, and any  fractional  interest  in respect of a share of Common
Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 5(c).

     Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected  immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Series
A  Preferred  Stock  shall  have  been  surrendered  and  such  notice  (and  if
applicable,  payment of an amount equal to the dividend  payable on such shares)
received by the  Corporation  as  aforesaid,  and the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificate or  certificates  for shares of Common Stock shall
be issuable  upon such  conversion  shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares  represented  thereby at such time on such date,
and such conversion  shall be at the Conversion  Price in effect at such time on
such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation  shall be closed on
that date,  in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become
such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding
day on which such share transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at
the Conversion  Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been
surrendered  and such notice  received  by the  Corporation

     (c) No  fractional  shares  or scrip  representing  fractions  of shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon  conversion  of the Series A Preferred  Stock.
Instead  of any  fractional  interest  in a share of  Common  Stock  that  would
otherwise be  deliverable  upon the  conversion of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock,  the Corporation  shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash
based  upon  the  Current  Market  Price of  Common  Stock  on the  Trading  Day
immediately  preceding the date of  conversion.  If more than one share shall be
surrendered  for  conversion


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

at one time by the same  holder,  the  number of full  shares  of  Common  Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. 

     (d) The  Conversion  Price shall be adjusted  from time to time as follows:

          (i) If the  Corporation  shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend
     or make a distribution on its shares of stock, in either case, in shares of
     Common Stock,  (B) subdivide its outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a
     greater  number of shares,  (C)  combine its  outstanding  shares of Common
     Stock  into  a  smaller  number  of  shares  or  (D)  issue  any  stock  by
     reclassification  of its shares of Common Stock,  the  Conversion  Price in
     effect at the opening of business on the day  following  the date fixed for
     the  determination  of  shareholders  entitled to receive such  dividend or
     distribution  or at the  opening  of  business  on the  Business  Day  next
     following   the   day   on   which   such   subdivision,   combination   or
     reclassification  becomes effective,  as the case may be, shall be adjusted
     so that the holder of any  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock  thereafter
     surrendered  for  conversion  shall be  entitled  to receive  the number of
     shares of Common  Stock  that such  holder  would  have  owned or have been
     entitled  to receive  after the  happening  of any of the events  described
     above as if such  shares of  Series A  Preferred  Stock had been  converted
     immediately  prior  to  the  record  date  in the  case  of a  dividend  or
     distribution   or  the  effective  date  in  the  case  of  a  subdivision,
     combination  or  reclassification.  An  adjustment  made  pursuant  to this
     subparagraph  (i) shall become effective  immediately  after the opening of
     business on the  Business  Day next  following  the record date  (except as
     provided  in Section  5(h)) in the case of a dividend or  distribution  and
     shall  become  effective  immediately  after the opening of business on the
     Business  Day  next   following  the  effective  date  in  the  case  of  a
     subdivision, combination or reclass ification.

          (ii) If the  Corporation  shall  issue  after the Issue  Date  rights,
     options or warrants to all holders of Common  Stock  entitling  them (for a
     period  expiring  within 45 days after the record date mentioned  below) to
     subscribe  for or purchase  Common Stock at a price per share less than 94%
     (100% if a stand-by  underwriter  is used and  charges  the  Corporation  a
     commission)  of the Fair  Market  Value per  share of  Common  Stock on the
     record date for the determination of shareholders  entitled to receive such
     rights,  options or warrants,  then the  Conversion  Price in effect at the
     opening of business on the  Business  Day next  following  such record date
     shall be  adjusted to equal the price  determined  by  multiplying  (I) the
     Conversion Price in effect  immediately prior to the opening of business on
     the Business Day next  following the date fixed for such  determination  by
     (II) a fraction,  the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number
     of shares of Common 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>


     Stock  outstanding  on the  close of  business  on the date  fixed for such
     determination  and (B) the number of shares that the aggregate  proceeds to
     the Corporation  from the exercise of such rights,  options or warrants for
     shares of Common Stock would  purchase at 94% of such Fair Market Value (or
     100% in the case of a stand-by underwriting),  and the denominator of which
     shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
     the close of business on the date fixed for such  determination and (B) the
     number of  additional  shares of Common Stock offered for  subscription  or
     purchase  pursuant to such  rights,  options or warrants.  Such  adjustment
     shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
     next following  such record date (except as provided in Section  5(h)).  In
     determining whether any rights,  options or warrants entitle the holders of
     Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase  Common Stock at less than 94% of
     such Fair  Market  Value (or 100% in the case of a stand-by  underwriting),
     there  shall  be taken  into  account  any  consideration  received  by the
     Corporation  upon  issuance and upon  exercise of such  rights,  options or
     warrants,  the  value of such  consideration,  if other  than  cash,  to be
     determined by the Board of Directors.

          (iii) If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of its Common
     Stock any stock of the Corporation (other than Common Stock) or evidence of
     its  indebtedness  or  assets  (excluding   cumulative  cash  dividends  or
     distributions paid with respect to the Common Stock after December 31, 1995
     which are not in excess of the following:  the sum of (A) the Corporation's
     cumulative  undistributed  funds from operations at December 31, 1995, plus
     (B) the cumulative  amount of funds from  operations,  as determined by the
     Board of  Directors,  after  December  31, 1995,  minus (C) the  cumulative
     amount of  dividends  accrued or paid in respect of the Series A  Preferred
     Stock or any other class or series of  Preferred  Stock of the  Corporation
     after the Issue Date) or rights,  options or warrants to  subscribe  for or
     purchase  any  of its  securities  (excluding  those  rights,  options  and
     warrants  issued to all holders of Common Stock entitling them for a period
     expiring  within 45 days after the record date referred to in  subparagraph
     (ii) above to  subscribe  for or  purchase  shares of Common  Stock,  which
     rights,  options  and  warrants  are  referred  to  in  and  treated  under
     subparagraph  (ii) above) (any of the foregoing  being  hereinafter in this
     subparagraph (iii) collectively  called the "Securities" and individually a
     "Security"),  then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
     so  that it  shall  equal  the  price  determined  by  multiplying  (I) the
     Conversion  Price in effect  immediately  prior to the close of business on
     the date fixed for the  determination  of shareholders  entitled to receive
     such  distribution by (II) a fraction,  the numerator of which shall be the
     Fair Market  Value per share of Common  Stock on the record date  mentioned
     below  less the then  fair  market  value  (as  determined  by the Board of
     Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive),  of the portion of the
     stock or assets or  evidences of  indebtedness  so  distributed  or of such
     rights,  

                                      -10-
<PAGE>


     options  or  warrants  applicable  to one  share of Common  Stock,  and the
     denominator  of which  shall be the Fair  Market  Value per share of Common
     Stock on the record date  mentioned  below.  Such  adjustment  shall become
     effective  immediately  at the opening of business on the Business Day next
     following  (except as provided in paragraph  (h) below) the record date for
     the  determination of shareholders  entitled to receive such  distribution.
     For the  purposes of this clause  (iii),  the  distribution  of a Security,
     which is  distributed  not only to the  holders of the Common  Stock on the
     date  fixed  for  the  determination  of  shareholders   entitled  to  such
     distribution of such Security,  but also is distributed  with each share of
     Common Stock delivered to a Person converting a share of Series A Preferred
     Stock after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment of the
     Conversion Price pursuant to this clause (iii); provided, that on the date,
     if any, on which a Person  converting  a share of Series A Preferred  Stock
     would no longer be entitled to receive such Security with a share of Common
     Stock (other than as a result of the termination of all such Securities), a
     distribution  of such  Securities  shall be deemed to have occurred and the
     Conversion  Price shall be  adjusted as provided in this clause  (iii) (and
     such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of the
     shareholders  entitled to receive such  distribution" and "the record date"
     within the meaning of th e two preceding sentences).

          (iv) No adjustment in the  Conversion  Price shall be required  unless
     such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least
     1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of
     this subparagraph (iv) are not required to be made shall be carried forward
     and taken  into  account  in any  subsequent  adjustment  until  made;  and
     provided,  further,  that  any  adjustment  shall be  required  and made in
     accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Section  5  (other  than  this
     subparagraph  (iv)) not later than such time as may be required in order to
     preserve the  tax-free  nature of a  distribution  to the holders of Common
     Stock.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of  this  Section  5,  the
     Corporation  shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion
     Price for the issuance of any shares of Common  Stock  pursuant to any plan
     providing  for  the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or  interest  payable  on
     securities of the  Corporation  and the  investment of additional  optional
     amounts  in Common  Stock  under  such plan.  All  calculations  under this
     Section 5 shall be made to the  nearest  cent  (with  $.005  being  rounded
     upward) or to the nearest  one-tenth  of a share (with .05 of a share being
     rounded  upward),  as the case may be. Anything in this Section 5(d) to the
     contrary notwithstanding,  the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent
     permitted  by law, to make such  reductions  in the  Conversion  Price,  in
     addition to those  required by this Section 5(d),  as it in its  discretion
     shall  determine  to be  advisable  in  order  that  any  share  dividends,
     subdivision   of  shares,   reclassification   or  combination  of  shares,
     distribution  of rights or warrants to purchase stock or  

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     securities,  or a distribution  of other assets (other than cash dividends)
     hereafter made by the Corporation to its shareholders shall not be taxable.

     (e) If the  Corporation  shall  be a party  to any  transaction  (including
without  limitation a merger,  consolidation,  statutory  share  exchange,  self
tender offer for all or substantially all shares of Common Stock, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's  assets or recapitalization of the Common
Stock and excluding any transaction as to which Section  5(d)(i)  applies) (each
of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case as a
result of which all or  substantially  all shares of Common Stock are  converted
into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or
any  combination  thereof),  each share of Series A Preferred Stock which is not
redeemed  or  converted  into the right to receive  stock,  securities  or other
property prior to such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind
and amount of shares of stock,  securities and other property (including cash or
any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by
a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series
A  Preferred  Stock  was  convertible  immediately  prior  to such  Transaction,
assuming  such  holder of shares of Common  Stock (i) is not a Person with which
the  Corporation  consolidated  or into  which the  Corporation  merged or which
merged into the  Corporation  or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the
case may be ("Constituent  Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person and
(ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount
of stock,  securities and other property  (including  cash) receivable upon such
Transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of stock,  securities and other
property  (including  cash) receivable upon such Transaction is not the same for
each share of Common Stock held  immediately  prior to such Transaction by other
than a Constituent  Person or an affiliate  thereof and in respect of which such
rights of election shall not have been exercised  ("Non-Electing  Share"),  then
for the purpose of this  Section  5(e) the kind and amount of stock,  securities
and other property  (including  cash)  receivable upon such  Transaction by each
Non-Electing  Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable  per
share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). The Corporation shall not be a
party to any  Transaction  unless the terms of such  Transaction  are consistent
with the  provisions of this Section 5(e),  and it shall not consent or agree to
the  occurrence of any  Transaction  until the  Corporation  has entered into an
agreement with the successor or purchasing  entity,  as the case may be, for the
benefit  of the  holders  of the  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock that will
contain  provisions  enabling  the  holders of the shares of Series A  Preferred
Stock that  remain  outstanding  after  such  Transaction  to  convert  into the
consideration  received by holders of Common  Stock at the  Conversion  Price in
effect  immediately  prior to such  Transaction.  The provisions of this Section
5(e) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

     (f) If:

          (i)  the   Corporation   shall   declare  a  dividend  (or  any  other
     distribution)   on  the  Common  Stock   (other  than  cash   dividends  or
     distributions paid with respect to the Common Stock after December 31, 1995
     not in  excess  of the sum of the  Corporation's  cumulative  undistributed
     funds from operations at December 31, 1995,  plus the cumulative  amount of
     funds from  operations,  as  determined  by the Board of  Directors,  after
     December 31, 1995, minus the cumulative amount of dividends accrued or paid
     in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock or any other class or
     series of Prefer red Stock of the Corporation after the Issue Date); or

          (ii) the  Corporation  shall  authorize the granting to the holders of
     shares of Common Stock of rights,  options or warrants to subscribe  for or
     purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other  rights,  options or
     warrants,  which granting  requires an adjustment of the  Conversion  Price
     pursuan t to Section 5(d)(ii) above; or

          (iii) there shall be any  reclassification  of the Common Stock (other
     than an event to which Section  5(d)(i)  applies) or any  consolidation  or
     merger to which the  Corporation  is a party and for which  approval of any
     shareholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange,
     or a self tender offer by the Corporation for all or  substantially  all of
     its   outstanding   Common  Stock  or  the  sale  or  transfer  of  all  or
     substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or

          (iv) there  shall  occur the  voluntary  or  involuntary  liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the  Corporation, 

then the  Corporation  shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall
cause to be mailed to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at their
addresses  as shown on the stock  records of the  Corporation,  as  promptly  as
possible,  but at  least  10  days  prior  to the  applicable  date  hereinafter
specified,  a notice  stating  (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such  dividend,  distribution  or granting of rights,  options or
warrants,  or, if a record is not to be taken,  the date as of which the holders
of  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  record  to  be  entitled  to  such  dividend,
distribution or rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date
on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange,
sale,  transfer,  liquidation  dissolution  or winding up is  expected to become
effective,  and the date as of which it is  expected  that  holders of shares of
Common  Stock of record  shall be entitled to  exchange  their  shares of Common
Stock  for  securities  or  other  property,   if  any,  deliverable  upon  such
reclassification,   consolidation,   merger,  statutory  share  exchange,  sale,
transfer,  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up.  Failure to give or receive
such notice or any 

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

defect  therein  shall not affect the  legality or  validity of the  proceedings
described in this Section 5.

     (g)  Whenever  the  Conversion  Price is adjusted as herein  provided,  the
Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate
setting forth the  Conversion  Price after such  adjustment  and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment,  which certificate shall
be conclusive  evidence of the  correctness of such  adjustment  absent manifest
error.  Promptly  after  delivery of such  certificate,  the  Corporation  shall
prepare a notice of such  adjustment of the  Conversion  Price setting forth the
adjusted  Conversion  Price and the effective date of such  adjustment and shall
mail such notice of such  adjustment  of the  Conversion  Price to the holder of
each share of Series A Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on
the share records of the Corporation.

     (h) In any case in which Section 5(d)  provides  that an  adjustment  shall
become  effective on the day next  following  the record date for an event,  the
Corporation  may defer  until the  occurrence  of such event (A)  issuing to the
holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock converted after such record date
and before the  occurrence of such event the  additional  shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event
over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such  conversion  before
giving  effect to such  adjustment  and (B) paying t o such holder any amount of
cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 5(c).

     (i) There shall be no  adjustment  of the  Conversion  Price in case of the
issuance of any stock or other security of the Corporation in a  reorganization,
acquisition or other similar  transaction  except as  specifically  set forth in
this Section 5. If any action or  transaction  would  require  adjustment of the
Conversion Price pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section 5, only one
adjustment  shall be made and such adjustment  shall be the amount of adjustment
that has the highest absolute value.

     (j) If the  Corporation  shall take any action  affecting the Common Stock,
other than action  described in this Section 5, that in the opinion of the Board
of Directors would materially and adversely affect the conversion  rights of the
holders of the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock, the Conversion Price for the
Series A Preferred  Stock may be  adjusted,  to the extent  permitted by law, in
such manner,  if any, and at such time, as the Board of  Directors,  in its sole
discretion, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

     (k) The  Corporation  covenants  that it will at all times reserve and keep
available,  free from preemptive  rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting  conversion of
the  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock,  the full  number of shares of Common
Stock

                                      -14-
<PAGE>


deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred
Stock not theretofore  converted.  For purposes of this Section 5(k), the number
of shares of Common Stock that shall be  deliverable  upon the conversion of all
outstanding  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock shall be computed as if at the
time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.

     The  Corporation  covenants  that any shares of Common  Stock  issued  upon
conversion  of the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock shall be validly  issued,
fully paid and  non-assessable.  Before  taking any action  that would  cause an
adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then- par value of the shares
of Common Stock  deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock,  the Corporation  will take any corporate  action that, in the opinion of
its  counsel,  may be necessary  in order that the  Corporation  may validly and
legally  issue  fully paid and non-  assessable  shares of Common  Stock at such
adjusted Conversion Price.

     The Corporation  shall endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required
to be delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred  Stock,  prior to such
delivery,  upon  each  national  securities  exchange,  if any,  upon  which the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery.

     Prior to the  delivery  of any  securities  that the  Corporation  shall be
obligated to deliver upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock,
the  Corporation  shall  endeavor  to comply with all federal and state laws and
regulations  thereunder  requiring the  registration of such securities with, or
any  approval  of or  consent  to the  delivery  thereof  by,  any  governmental
authority.

     (l) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue
or  transfer  taxes  payable in respect  of the issue or  delivery  of shares of
Common  Stock or other  securities  or property on  conversion  of the shares of
Series  A  Preferred  Stock  pursuant  hereto;   provided,   however,  that  the
Corporation  shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any  transfer  involved  in the issue or  delivery  of Common  Stock or other
securities  or property in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the person  requesting  such issue or delivery has paid to
the  Corporation  the amount of any such tax or  established,  to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

     Section 6. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.

     (a) The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation
prior to the third (3rd)  anniversary  of the Issue Date. On and after the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation,  at its option, may redeem
the Series A  Preferred  Stock,  in whole or in part at any time or from time to


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

time at a redemption price of Twenty Five Dollars ($25.00) per share of Series A
Preferred Stock, plus the amounts indicated in Section 6(b).

     (b) Upon any  redemption of the Series A Preferred  Stock  pursuant to this
Section 6, the Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid  dividends,  if any,
thereon  ending on or prior to the date of such  redemption  (the "Call  Date"),
without  interest.  If the Call Date falls after a dividend  payment record date
and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, then each holder of Series
A Preferred Stock at the close of business on such dividend  payment record date
shall be entitled to the  dividend  payable on such shares on the  corresponding
Dividend Payment Date  notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such
Dividend Payment Date.  Except as provided above, the Corporation  shall make no
payment or allowance for unpaid dividends,  whether or not in arrears, on shares
of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption.

     (c) If full  cumulative  dividends on the Series A Preferred  Stock and any
other class or series of Parity Stock of the Corporation  have not been declared
and paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Series A Preferred Stock may
not be  redeemed  under  this  Section  6 in part  and the  Corporation  may not
purchase or acquire the Series A Preferred  Stock,  otherwise than pursuant to a
purchase  or  exchange  offer made on the same terms to all  holders of Series A
Preferred Stock.

     (d) Notice of the  redemption  of any Series A  Preferred  Stock under this
Section 6 shall be mailed by first-class mail to each holder of record of Series
A Preferred  Stock to be redeemed at the address of each such holder as shown on
the Corporation's  records,  not less than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to the
Call Date. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this Section 6(d),
nor any defect  therein or in the mailing  thereof,  to any  particular  holder,
shall affect the  sufficiency  of the notice or the validity of the  proceedings
for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in
the manner  herein  provided  shall be  conclusively  presumed to have been duly
given on the date mailed  whether or not the holder  receives  the notice.  Each
such mailed  notice  shall state,  as  appropriate:  (1) the Call Date;  (2) the
number of shares of Series A Preferred  Stock to be redeemed  and, if fewer than
all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares
to be redeemed from such holder;  (3) the place or places at which  certificates
for such shares are to be surrendered;  (4) the then-current  Conversion  Price;
and (5) that  dividends  on the shares to be  redeemed  shall cease to accrue on
such Call Date except as otherwise provided herein. Notice having been mailed as
aforesaid,  from and after the Call Date (unless the  Corporation  shall fail to
make  available  an amount of cash  necessary  to effect such  redemption),  (i)
except as otherwise  provided herein,  dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
so  called  for  redemption  shall  cease to  accrue,  (ii)  shares  of Series A
Preferred  Stock  shall no longer be  deemed  to be  outstanding,  and (iii) all
rights of the  holders  thereof as holders  of Series A  Preferred  Stock of the
Corporation  shall cease  (except the right to receive  cash  payable  upon such
redemption,  without

                                      -16-
<PAGE>


interest  thereon,  upon surrender and  endorsement of their  certificates if so
required  and to receive  any  dividends  payable  thereon).  The  Corporation's
obligation to provide cash in accordance  with the preceding  sentence  shall be
deemed  fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation  shall deposit
with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that
has an office in Washington, D.C., and that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or
trust company that has, capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,  the amount
of cash necessary for such redemption,  in trust, with irrevocable  instructions
that such cash be applied to the  redemption of the Series A Preferred  Stock so
called for  redemption.  No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders
of  Series A  Preferred  Stock to be  redeemed  on any cash so set  aside by the
Corporation.  Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the
end of two years from the Call Date  shall  revert to the  general  funds of the
Corporation,  after  which  reversion  the  holders of such shares so called for
redemption  shall  look only to the  general  funds of the  Corporation  for the
payment  of such  cash. 

     As promptly as  practicable  after the  surrender in  accordance  with said
notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or
assigned for  transfer,  if the  Corporation  shall so require and if the notice
shall so state),  such shares shall be exchanged for any cash (without  interest
thereon)  for which  such  shares  have  been  redeemed.  If fewer  than all the
outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock are to  redeemed,  shares to be
redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding  shares of Series
A Preferred  Stock not  previously  called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as
nearly as may be) or by any other method  determined by the  Corporation  in its
sole  discretion  to be  equitable.  If fewer  than all the  shares  of Series A
Preferred  Stock   represented  by  any  certificate  are  redeemed,   then  new
certificates  representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to
the holder thereof.

     Section 7. Shares of Stock To Be Retired.  All shares of Series A Preferred
Stock  which  shall  have  been  issued  and  reacquired  in any  manner  by the
Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of
capital stock of the Corporation, without designation as to class or series.

     Section 8.  Ranking.  Any class or series of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

     (a) prior to the Series A Preferred  Stock,  as to the payment of dividends
and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if
the  holders  of such  class or  series  shall be  entitled  to the  receipt  of
dividends or of amounts  distributable upon liquidation,  dissolution or winding
up, as the case may be, in  preference  or  priority  to the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock;

     (b) on a parity  with the Series A  Preferred  Stock,  as to the payment of
dividends and as to  distribution  of assets upon  liquidation,  dissolution  or
winding 

                                      -17-
<PAGE>


up, whether or not the dividend rates,  dividend  payment dates or redemption or
liquidation  prices per share  thereof be  different  from those of the Series A
Preferred  Stock,  if the holders of such class or series of shares of stock and
the Series A Preferred  Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends  and
of  amounts  distributable  upon  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding  up  in
proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share
or liquidation  preferences,  without  preference or priority one over the other
("Parity Stock");

     (c) junior to the Series A Preferred  Stock, as to the payment of dividends
or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
if such shares of stock shall be Junior Stock; and

     (d) junior to the Series A Preferred  Stock, as to the payment of dividends
and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation dissolution or winding up,
if such shares of stock shall be Fully Junior Stock.

     Section 9.  Voting.  If and whenever six  consecutive  quarterly  dividends
payable on the Series A Preferred  Stock or any series or class of Parity  Stock
shall be in arrears (which shall,  with respect to any such quarterly  dividend,
mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not declared,
the  number of  directors  then  constituting  the Board of  Directors  shall be
increased by two, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, together with the
holders  of shares of every  other  series of Parity  Stock,  voting as a single
class  regardless  of  series,  shall be  entitled  to elect the two  additional
directors  to  serve  on the  Board  of  Directors  at  any  annual  meeting  of
shareholders or special  meeting held in place thereof,  or at a special meeting
of the holders of the Series A Preferred  Stock and the Parity  Stock  called as
hereinafter  provided.  Whenever  all  arrears  in  dividends  on the  Series  A
Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock then  outstanding  shall have been paid and
dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid
or  declared  and set apart for  payment,  then the right of the  holders of the
Series A  Preferred  Stock and the  Parity  Stock to elect such  additional  two
directors shall  immediately cease (but subject always to the same provision for
the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar  future  arrearages
in six consecutive quarterly dividends),  and the terms of office of all persons
elected as  directors  by the  holders of the Series A  Preferred  Stock and the
Parity  Stock  shall  immediately  terminate  and the  number  of the  Board  of
Directors  shall be reduced  accordingly.  At any time after such voting  rights
shall  have been so vested in the  holders of Series A  Preferred  Stock and the
Parity Stock, the secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request
of any holder of Series A Preferred  Stock  (addressed  to the  secretary at the
principal  office  of the  Corporation)  shall,  call a special  meeting  of the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and of the Parity Stock for the election
of the two directors to be elected by them as herein  provided,  such call to be
made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws of the  Corporation  for a
special  meeting of the  shareholders or as required by law. If any such special
meeting  required  to be  called  as above  provided  shall not be called 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

by the  secretary  within 20 days after  receipt of any such  request,  then any
holder of Series A Preferred Stock may call such meeting,  upon the notice above
provided,  and for that  purpose  shall have access to the stock  records of the
Corporation. The directors elected at any such special meeting shall hold office
until the next annual  meeting of the  shareholders  or special  meeting held in
lieu  thereof  if such  office  shall not have  previously  terminated  as above
provided.  If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders
of the Series A  Preferred  Stock and the Parity  Stock,  a  successor  shall be
elected by the Board of Directors,  upon the  nomination  of the  then-remaining
director  elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred  Stock and the Parity
Stock or the  successor  of such  remaining  director,  to serve  until the next
annual meeting of the  shareholders  or special meeting held in place thereof if
such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above.

     So long as any  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock  are  outstanding,  in
addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders  required by law or by the
Charter of the  Corporation,  the  affirmative  vote of at least  66-2/3% of the
votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Parity Stock, at the time  outstanding,  acting as a single class  regardless of
series,  given in person or by proxy,  either in writing without a meeting or by
vote at any meeting called for the purpose,  shall be necessary for effecting or
validating:

     (a) Any  amendment,  alteration  or repeal of any of the  provisions of the
Charter  of  the  Corporation  (including  these  Articles  Supplementary)  that
materially and adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Parity Stock; provided,  however,
that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter of the  Corporation so as to
authorize  or create or to increase  the  authorized  amount of any Fully Junior
Stock or  Junior  Stock  that are not  senior  in any  respect  to the  Series A
Preferred  Stock, or any shares of any class ranking on a parity with the Series
A  Preferred  Stock or the  Parity  Stock,  shall not be  deemed  to  materially
adversely  affect the voting  powers,  rights or  preferences  of the holders of
Series A Preferred  Stock;  and provided  further,  that if any such  amendment,
alteration or repeal would  materially  and adversely  affect any voting powers,
rights or  preferences  of the Series A  Preferred  Stock or  another  series of
Parity Stock that are not enjoyed by some or all of the other  series  otherwise
entitled  to vote in  accordance  herewith,  the  affirmative  vote of at  least
66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all series  similarly
affected,  similarly given, shall be required in lieu of the affirmative vote of
at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A
Preferred  Stock and the Parity Stock  otherwise  entitled to vote in accordance
herewith; or

     (b) A  share  exchange  that  affects  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock,  a
consolidation  with or merger  of the  Corporation  into  another  entity,  or a
consolidation  with or merger of another entity into the Corporation,  unless in
each  such  case  each  share of  Series A  Preferred  Stock  (i)  shall  remain
outstanding

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

without a material  and adverse  change to its terms and rights or (ii) shall be
converted  into or exchanged for  convertible  preferred  stock of the surviving
entity  having   preferences,   conversion  or  other  rights,   voting  powers,
restrictions,   limitations  as  to  dividends,   qualifications  and  terms  or
conditions  of  redemption  thereof  identical  to that of a share  of  Series A
Preferred Stock (except for changes that do not materially and adversely  affect
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock); or

     (c) The  authorization  or creation of, or the  increase in the  authorized
amount of, any shares of any class or any  security  convertible  into shares of
any class ranking prior to the Series A Preferred  Stock in the  distribution of
assets on any  liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the Corporati on or in
the payment of dividends; 

provided,  however, that no such vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or
repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such shares or convertible
securities  is to be  made,  as the  case  may be,  provision  is  made  for the
redemption of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

     For purposes of the  foregoing  provisions of this Section 9, each share of
Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall have one (1) vote per share,  except that when
shares of any other series of Preferred  Stock shall have the right to vote with
the Series A Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter,  then the Series A
Preferred  Stock and such other  series  shall have with respect to such matters
one (1) vote per $25.00 of stated  liquidation  preference.  Except as otherwise
required by applicable law or as set forth herein,  the Series A Preferred Stock
shall not have any relative,  participating,  optional or other  special  voting
rights and powers,  and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required
for the taking of any corporate action.

     Section 10. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem
and treat the  record  holder of any  Series A  Preferred  Stock as the true and
lawful  owner  thereof for all  purposes,  and neither the  Corporation  nor the
Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice  to the contrary.

     Section  11.  Sinking  Fund.  The  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall not be
entitled to the benefits of any retirement or sinking fund.

     Section 12. Ownership Limitation.  Pursuant to the authority granted to the
Board of Directors under Section 5.10 of the Charter,  any Person (as defined in
the Charter) who is not an individual within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of
the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the  "Code"),  as modified by
Section  856(h)(3)  of the Code  (referred  to as an  "Exempted  Person"),  that
Acquires (as defined in the  Charter)  Beneficial  Ownership  (as defined in the
Charter) of shares of Series A Preferred  Stock is exempted  from clause (ii) of
the  Ownership  Limit (as defined in the  Charter)  with respect to the Series A
Preferred  Stock,  subject to the

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

condition that no Person (as defined in the Charter) who is an individual within
the meaning of Section  542(a)(2) of the Code, as modified by Section  856(h)(3)
of the Code and who  Beneficially  Owns (as defined in the  Charter)  any of the
shares of Series A Preferred  Stock owned directly by the Exempted Person at any
time  Beneficially  Owns an amount of Series A Preferred  Stock in excess of the
Ownership Limit.  Each Exempted Person who acquires shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in reliance  upon the  conditional  exemption  set forth in the  preceding
sentence  represents  and  warrants to the  Corporation  as a condition  of such
reliance  that the  condition  set forth  therein is  satisfied at the time such
Exempted  Person  Acquired  the shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock and will be
satisfied  throughout the period during which such Exempted Person  Beneficially
Owns the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock.  Each Exempted Person who acquires
shares of Series A Preferred  Stock in reliance upon the  conditional  exemption
set forth in the second preceding  sentence further agrees that in the event the
condition  set  forth  in the  second  preceding  sentence  is at any  time  not
satisfied,  the exemption granted under this Section 12 no longer shall apply to
such  Exempted  Person  and  all of the  shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock
Beneficially  Owned  by such  Exempted  Person  shall be  subject  to all of the
restrictions  and  remedies  set forth in Article V of the  Charter  (including,
without limitation, the remedies set forth in Section 5.3 of the Charter).
