          2.   INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION; INTERNAL REVENUE CODE REQUIREMENTS. The
               ----------------------------------------------------------
Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

          3.   ACCELERATION AND TERMINATION OF OPTION.
               --------------------------------------

         (a)   Termination of Employment.
               -------------------------

               (i)   Retirement.  In the event that Optionee shall cease to be
                     ----------
          an employee of the Company, the Partnership or any of their
          subsidiaries (such event shall be referred to herein as the
          "Termination" of Optionee's "Employment") by reason of retirement in
          accordance with the Company's then-current retirement practices, then
          the Option shall fully vest with respect to all Option Shares upon the
          date of such Termination of Employment and shall terminate on the
          Expiration Date.

               (ii)  Death or Permanent Disability.  If Optionee's Employment
                     -----------------------------
          is Terminated by reason of the death or Permanent Disability (as
          hereinafter defined) of Optionee, then the Option shall fully vest
          with respect to all Option Shares upon the date of such Termination of
          Employment, shall be exercisable by Optionee or, in the event of
          death, the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under the
          Option shall have passed by will or by the applicable laws of descent
          or distribution, and shall terminate on the first anniversary of the
          date of such Termination of Employment. "Permanent Disability" shall
          mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
          reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
          which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be
          expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12)
          months. The Optionee shall not be deemed to have a Permanent
          Disability until proof of the existence thereof shall have been
          furnished to the Board of the Committee in such form and manner, and
          at such times, as the Committee may require. Any determination by the
          Board of the Committee that Optionee does or does not have a Permanent
          Disability shall be final and binding upon the Company and Optionee.

          Option shall terminate one (1) month from the date of such Termination

                     -----------------
          for any reason other than those enumerated in (i) through (iii) of
          this Section 3(a), then (A) the portion of the Option that has not
          vested on or prior to the date of such Termination of Employment shall
          terminate on such date and (B) the remaining vested portion of the
          Option shall terminate three (3) months from the date of such
          Termination of Employment.

          (b) Death Following Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding
              -----------------------------------------
     anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Optionee shall die at any
     time after the Termination of his or her Employment and prior to the
     Expiration Date, then, unless the Optionee was Terminated for cause, the
     remaining vested but unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate on
     the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the date of
     such death.

          (c) Acceleration of Option.  The Option shall become fully exercisable
              ----------------------
     immediately prior to a Change in Control.  A Change in Control shall mean
     the following:  a reorganization, merger (not including a merger to
     effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
     Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class then
     subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash, property
     and/or securities not issued by the Company.

          (d) Termination of Option.  The Option shall terminate upon the
              ---------------------
     occurrence of a Termination Event.  A Termination Event shall mean either:

              (i)   the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

              (ii)  a reorganization, merger (not including a merger to
          effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
          Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class
          then subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash,
          property and/or securities not issued by the Company, which
          reorganization, merger or consolidation shall have been affirmatively
          recommended to the stockholders of the Company by the Board, unless
          the terms of such reorganization, merger or consolidation shall
          provide otherwise; or

              (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the property and
          assets of the Company, unless the terms of such sale shall provide
          otherwise.

          4.  ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event that the Common Shares are increased,
              -----------                                                     
decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different
number or kind of securities, or if cash, property or securities are distributed
in respect of such outstanding Common Shares, in either case as a result of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring,
reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or
other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, or if
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold, then,
unless such event shall cause the Option to terminate pursuant to this
Agreement, or the terms of such transaction shall 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
provide otherwise, the Board or the Committee shall make appropriate and
proportionate adjustments in the number and type of shares or other securities
or cash or other property that may be acquired upon the exercise in full of the
Option.

          5.  EXERCISE.  The Option shall be exercisable during Optionee's
              --------                                                    
lifetime only by Optionee or by his or her guardian or legal representative, and
after Optionee's death only by the person or entity entitled to do so under
Optionee's last will and testament or applicable intestate law.  The Option may
only be exercised by the delivery to the Company of a written notice of such
exercise pursuant to the notice procedures set forth in Section 7 hereof, which
notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased (the "Purchased
Shares") and the aggregate Exercise Price for such shares (the "Exercise
Price"), together with payment in full of such aggregate Exercise Price in cash.

          6.  PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING TAXES.  If the Company becomes obligated to
              ----------------------------                                      
withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local income tax imposed
as a result of the exercise of an option granted under this Plan (such amount
shall be referred to herein as the "Withholding Liability"), the Optionee shall
pay the Withholding Liability to the Company in full in cash on the first date
upon which the Company becomes obligated to pay such amount withheld to the
appropriate taxing authority, and the Company may delay issuing the Common
Shares pursuant to such exercise until it receives the Withholding Liability
from the Optionee.

          7.  NOTICES.  Any notice given to the Company shall be addressed to
              -------

Attention: Secretary, or at such other address as the Company may hereinafter
designate in writing to Optionee.  Any notice given to Optionee shall be sent to
the address set forth below Optionee's signature hereto, or at such other
address as Optionee may hereafter designate in writing to the Company.  Any such
notice shall be deemed duly given when sent by prepaid certified or registered
mail and deposited in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained
by the United States Government.

          8.  STOCK EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS; APPLICABLE LAWS.  Notwithstanding
              --------------------------------------------                   
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no shares of stock purchased upon
exercise of the Option, and no certificate representing all or any part of such
shares, shall be issued or delivered if (a) such shares have not been admitted
to listing upon official notice of issuance on each stock exchange upon which
shares of that class are then listed or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of
or to incur liability under any federal, state or other securities law, or any
requirement of any stock exchange listing agreement to which the Company is a
party, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Company.

          9.  NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Neither the Option nor any interest therein
              ------------------                                              
may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

              ---------                                        
IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF GRANT, AND IS SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF THE 1993 PLAN, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT NO SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL DEPRIVE OPTIONEE, WITHOUT HIS OR HER
CONSENT, OF THE OPTION OR OF ANY OF OPTIONEE'S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION BY THE BOARD OR THE COMMITTEE OF THE 1993 PLAN,
THIS AGREEMENT, THE OPTION AND SUCH RULES AND REGULATIONS AS MAY BE ADOPTED BY
THE BOARD OR THE COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADMINISTERING THE 1993 PLAN SHALL
BE FINAL AND BINDING UPON OPTIONEE. UNTIL THE OPTION SHALL EXPIRE, TERMINATE OR
BE EXERCISED IN FULL, THE COMPANY SHALL, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR, SEND A

fraction of a Common Share in connection with the exercise of the Option.  In
any case where the Optionee would be entitled to receive a fraction of a Common
Share upon the exercise of the Option, the Company shall instead, upon the
exercise of the Option, issue the largest whole number of Common Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Option, and pay to the Optionee in cash the
Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board or the Committee) of such fraction
of a Common Share at the time of exercise of the Option.

          12.  STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.  No person or entity shall be entitled to
               ------------------

Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

          13.  EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.  No provision of this Agreement or of the
               -----------------                                           
Option granted hereunder shall (a) confer upon Optionee any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) affect the right of
the Company and each of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of
Optionee, with or without cause, or (c) confer upon Optionee any right to
participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the 1993 Plan.  The Optionee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that his or her right of employment may be
terminated by the Company for any reason, with or without cause, unless the
Optionee and the Company are parties to a written agreement which expressly
provides otherwise.

          14.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement and the Option granted hereunder
               -------------                                                  
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Maryland.

          15.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
               ----------------                                        
agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and
supersedes all prior written or

Company has not made any representation to the Optionee regarding future or
additional Option grants, or any other option related matters. The grant of any
options must be in writing.

          16.  REPRESENTATION OF OPTIONEE.  Optionee represents to the Company
               --------------------------                                     
as follows:

               (i)   The Option will be taken and received for my own account
          and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
          thereof; and

               (ii)  I have a preexisting personal or business relationship
          with the Company or its officers, directors or controlling persons,
          or, by reason of my business or financial experience, I can protect my

          Option.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Optionee have duly executed this
Agreement as of the Date of Grant.

     This Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered

<PAGE>
 
                                       ---------------------------- 

     2.   NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION.  The Option is not intended to qualify as
          --------------------------                                           
an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").

     3.   ACCELERATION AND TERMINATION OF OPTION.
          -------------------------------------- 

          (a)  Termination of Employment.
               --------------------------

               (i) Retirement. In the event that Optionee shall cease to be an
                   ----------
          employee of or a consultant to the Company, the Partnership or any of
          their subsidiaries (such event shall be referred to herein as the
          "Termination" of Optionee's "Employment") by reason of retirement in
          accordance with the Company's then-current retirement practices, then
          the Option shall fully vest with respect to all Option Shares upon the
          date of such Termination of Employment and shall terminate on the
          Expiration Date.
         
               (ii) Death or Permanent Disability. If Optionee's Employment is
                    -----------------------------
          Terminated by reason of the death or Permanent Disability (as
          hereinafter defined) of Optionee, then the Option shall fully vest
          with respect to all Option Shares upon the date of such Termination of
          Employment, shall be exercisable by Optionee or, in the event of
          death, the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under the
          Option shall have passed by will or by the applicable laws of descent
          or distribution, and shall terminate on the first anniversary of the
          date of such Termination of Employment. "Permanent Disability" shall
          mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
          reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
          which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be
          expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12)
          months. The Optionee shall not be deemed to have a Permanent
          Disability until proof of the existence thereof shall have been
          furnished to the Board or the Committee in such form and manner, and
          at such times, as the Board or the Committee may require. Any
          determination by the Board or the Committee that Optionee does or does
          not have a Permanent Disability shall be final and binding upon the
          Company and Optionee.
         
               (iii) Termination for Cause. If Optionee's Employment is
                     ---------------------
          Terminated for cause, then (A) the portion of the Option that has not
          vested on or prior to the date of such Termination of Employment shall
          terminate on such date and (B) the remaining vested portion of the
          Option shall terminate one (1) month from the date of such Termination
          of Employment.
         
               (iv) Other Termination. If Optionee's Employment is Terminated
          for any reason other than those enumerated in (i) through (iii) of
          this Section 3(a), then (A) the portion of the Option that has not
          vested on or prior to the date of 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
          such Termination of Employment shall terminate on such date and (B)
          the remaining vested portion of the Option shall terminate three (3)
          months from the date of such Termination of Employment.
         
          (b) Death Following Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding
              -----------------------------------------
     anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Optionee shall die at any
     time after the Termination of his or her Employment and prior to the
     Expiration Date, then, unless the Optionee was Terminated for cause, the
     remaining vested but unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate on
     the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the date of
     such death.
    
          (c) Acceleration of Option. The Option shall become fully exercisable
              ----------------------
     immediately prior to a Change in Control. A Change in Control shall mean
     the following: a reorganization, merger (not including a merger to
     effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
     Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class then
     subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash, property
     and/or securities not issued by the Company.
    
          (d) Termination of Option. The Option shall terminate upon the
              ---------------------
     occurrence of a Termination Event. A Termination Event shall mean either:
    
              (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

              (ii) a reorganization, merger (not including a merger to
          effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
          Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class
          then subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash,
          property and/or securities not issued by the Company, which
          reorganization, merger or consolidation shall have been affirmatively
          recommended to the stockholders of the Company by the Board, unless
          the terms of such reorganization, merger or consolidation shall
          provide otherwise; or

              (iii)  a sale of all or substantially all of the property and
          assets of the Company, unless the terms of such sale shall provide
          otherwise.

     4.   ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event that the Common Shares are increased,
          -----------                                                     
deceased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different number
or kind of securities, or if cash, property or securities are distributed in
respect of such outstanding Common Shares, in either case as a result of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring,
reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or
other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, or if
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold, then,
unless such event shall cause the Option to terminate pursuant to this
Agreement, or the terms of such transaction shall provide otherwise, the Board
or the Committee shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments in the
number and type of shares or other securities or cash or other property that may
be acquired upon the exercise in full of the Option.

     5.   EXERCISE.  The Option shall be exercizable during Optionee's lifetime
          --------

Optionee's death only by the person or entity entitled to do so under Optionee's

withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local income tax imposed

shall be referred to herein as the "Withholding Liability"), then Optionee shall
pay the Withholding Liability to the Company in full in cash on the first date

appropriate taxing authority, and the Company may delay issuing the Common
Shares pursuant to such exercise until it receives the Withholding Liability

exercise of the Option, and no certificate representing all or any part of such
shares, shall be issued or delivered if (a) such shares have not been admitted
to listing upon official notice of issuance on each stock exchange upon which
shares of that class are then listed or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of
or to incur liability under any federal, state or other securities law, or any
requirement of any stock exchange listing agreement to which the Company is a
party, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Company.

Agreement, or the terms of such transaction shall provide otherwise, the Board
or a committee thereof administering the 1993 Plan (the "Committee") shall make
appropriate and proportionate adjustments in the number and type of shares or
other securities or cash or other property that may be acquired upon the
exercise in full of the Option.

shall be referred to herein as the "Withholding Liability"), the Optionee shall

              -------

or to incur liability under any federal, state or other securities law, or any

party, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Company.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special Maryland counsel to G & L Realty Corp., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on 
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed by the Company under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The Registration 
Statement registers an additional 120,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), for issuance 
pursuant to and under the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated 1993 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

     In this capacity, we have examined originals or copies, certified or 
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, 
certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed 
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.  In addition, this opinion 
is based upon the assumption that the Registration Statement relating thereto 
has become effective under the Securities Act.  In such examination, we have 
assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, 
the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the aforesaid 
documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and 
the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     Based upon the foregoing, and assuming that up to an additional 120,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock to be offered pursuant to the Plan have
been duly and validly authorized for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
we are of the opinion and advise you that, upon payment of the consideration
specified in the Plan and any applicable authorizing resolutions, and delivery
of the Shares in accordance with the terms therefor and the countersigning of
the certificate or certificates representing the Shares by a duly authorized
officer of the registrar for the

Company's Common Stock, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and 
nonassessable.

     The opinions expressed herein are also subject to the qualification that we
express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the
State of Maryland, exclusive of the securities or "blue sky" laws of the State 
of Maryland.  In addition, the opinion expressed herein concerns only the effect
of the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) of the State of 
Maryland as currently in effect.  We assume no obligation to supplement this 
opinion if any applicable laws change after the date hereof or if we become 
aware of any facts that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date
hereof.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm and to our opinion in the
Registration Statement.

                                       Very Truly Yours,

                                       /s/ Piper & Marbury
