Item 5, Other Events
From November 4, 1996 through  December 30, 1996,  Cali Realty  Corporation  and
subsidiaries (the "Company") acquired through five individual  transactions with
separate,  unrelated sellers two three-building office complexes, a two-building
office complex and two individual office buildings (the "Acquisitions").

The aggregate  initial  acquisition cost of the  Acquisitions was  approximately
$403.9 million.  The Company funded the aggregate initial  acquisition cost with
cash, which was made available  primarily from proceeds of a public common stock
offering  of  17,537,500  shares on  November  22,  1996,  (the  "November  1996
Offering") and with the assumption of mortgage debt.

The following summarizes the Company's Acquisitions:

On November 4, 1996,  the Company  acquired the property known as the Harborside
Financial  Center  ("Harborside"),  a 1.9 million  square  foot  office  complex
located  in  Jersey  City,  New  Jersey  for  an  initial  acquisition  cost  of
approximately  $286.7  million.  The purchase  price  included the assumption of
existing and seller-provided  financing aggregating $150.0 million. The existing
financing of approximately $107.9 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.32
percent for a term of approximately nine years. The seller-provided financing of
approximately  $42.1 million also has a term of nine years and  initially  bears
interest at a rate of 6.99  percent.  The interest  rate on the  seller-provided
financing  will be reset at the end of the third and sixth loan  years  based on
the yield of the three year treasury  obligation  at that time,  with spreads of
110 basis  points in years four  through six and 130 basis points in years seven
through  maturity.  The  balance  of  the  initial  acquisition  cost,  totaling
approximately  $136.7 million,  was paid in cash and was financed  substantially
through  drawings on the  Company's  credit  facilities.  The  borrowings on the
Company's credit  facilities for the acquisition of Harborside were subsequently
repaid from the net proceeds  received from the November 1996 Offering.  As part
of the  purchase,  the Company also  acquired 11.3 acres of land fully zoned and
permitted for an additional 4.1 million square feet of development and the water
rights  associated  with 27.4  acres of land  extending  into the  Hudson  River
immediately  east of Harborside,  including two piers with an area of 5.8 acres.
The terms of the acquisition of the vacant parcels provide for payments (with an
estimated  net present  value of  approximately  $5.3 million) to be made to the
seller for development rights  ("Development  Rights Contingent  Obligation") if
and when the Company commences  construction on the site during the next several
years.  However,  the agreement  provides,  among other things, that even if the
Company does not commence construction,  the seller may nevertheless require the
Company to acquire these rights during the six-month period after the end of the
sixth year. After such period,  the seller's option lapses,  but any development
in years 7 through 30 will require a payment,  on an increasing  scale,  for the
development rights.

On November 7, 1996, the Company acquired Five Sentry Parkway East & West ("Five
Sentry"),  a two-building office complex comprised of approximately  131,000 net
rentable   square  feet  located  in  Plymouth   Meeting,   Montgomery   County,
Pennsylvania for  approximately  $12.4 million in cash, which was drawn from one
of the Company's credit facilities. The borrowing on the credit facility
<PAGE>
for the acquisition of Five Sentry was subsequently repaid from the net proceeds
received from the November 1996 Offering.

On December 10, 1996, the Company acquired 300 Tice Boulevard  ("Whiteweld"),  a
230,000 net rentable  square foot office  building  located in  Woodcliff  Lake,
Bergen  County,  New  Jersey,  for  approximately  $35.0  million in cash,  made
available from the net proceeds received from the November 1996 Offering.

On December 16, 1996, the Company  acquired One Bridge Plaza ("One  Bridge"),  a
200,000 net rentable  square foot office  building  located in Fort Lee,  Bergen
County, New Jersey, for approximately $26.8 million in cash, made available from
the net proceeds received from the November 1996 Offering.

On December 17, 1996, the Company  acquired the  International  Court at Airport
Business Center ("Airport Center"), a three-building office complex comprised of
approximately  370,000  net  rentable  square feet  located in Lester,  Delaware
County,  Pennsylvania  for  approximately  $43.0 million in cash, made available
from the net proceeds received from the November 1996 Offering.

Each of the Acquisitions were pursuant to individual agreements for the sale and
purchase of each  property  between  each selling  entity and the  Company.  The
factors  considered by the Company in determining  the price to be paid included
their  historical  and  expected  cash flow,  nature of the tenants and terms of
leases  in  place,  occupancy  rates,  opportunities  for  alternative  and  new
tenancies,  current  operating costs and real estate taxes on the properties and
anticipated changes therein under Company ownership,  the physical condition and
locations of the properties,  the anticipated effect on the Company's  financial
results  (including  particularly  funds  from  operations)  and the  ability to
sustain and potentially increase its distributions to Company stockholders,  and
other factors. The Company took into consideration capitalization rates at which
it believes other comparable  office buildings had recently sold, but determined
the  price it was  willing  to pay  primarily  on the  factors  discussed  above
relating  to  the  properties  themselves  and  their  fit  with  the  Company's
operations.  No separate independent appraisals were obtained in connection with
the  acquisition  of  the  properties  by  the  Company.   The  Company,   after
investigation  of the properties,  is not aware of any material  factors,  other
than those enumerated above, that would cause the financial information reported
not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Pursuant  to  the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3  (File  No.
333-09081),  on November 22, 1996, the Company completed an underwritten  public
offering  and sale of  17,537,500  shares  of its  common  stock  using  several
different  underwriters to underwrite such public offer and sale (which included
an exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option of 2,287,500 shares). The
Company  received  approximately  $441.0 million in net proceeds (after offering
costs)  from the  November  1996  Offering,  and has used such  funds to acquire
certain of the  Acquisitions,  pay down outstanding  borrowings on its revolving
credit facilities, and invest the excess funds in short-term investments.

HARBORSIDE FINANCIAL CENTER

Notes to Statement of Revenue
and Certain Operating Expenses

1.     Organization and Nature of Business:

       The property known as Harborside  Financial  Center  ("Harborside")  is a
       three building  office complex  (Plazas I, II, and III) located in Jersey
       City,  New  Jersey.   At  September  30,  1996  Harborside   consists  of
       undeveloped   land  and  three  operating   office  buildings  which  are
       approximately 95 percent leased.

       Harborside  was owned by several  partnerships,  which were  directly  or
       indirectly  owned by a  Pension  Trust  which is  managed  by Jones  Lang
       Wootton  Realty  Advisors  under  an  investment  advisory  contract.  On
       November  4, 1996,  Harborside  was sold to  subsidiaries  of Cali Realty
       Corporation.



2.     Basis of Presentation:

       The Statement of Revenue and Certain Operating  Expenses (the "Historical
       Summary")  has  been  prepared  for the  purpose  of  complying  with the
       provisions  of  Article  3.14  of  Regulation  S-X   promulgated  by  the
       Securities and Exchange Commission.  This historical summary includes the
       historical   revenue  and  certain  operating   expenses  of  Harborside,
       exclusive of interest income,  mortgage interest expense and depreciation
       and  amortization,  which  may  not be  comparable  to the  corresponding
       amounts reflected in the future operations of Harborside.

       The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
       accepted accounting principles requires  Harborside's  management to make
       estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and
       liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the
       date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
       expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from
       those estimates.

       Harborside's  operations  consist of rental  income  earned from  tenants
       under leasing  arrangements  which  generally  provide for minimum rents,
       escalations  and  charges  to  tenants  for their pro rata  share of real
       estate taxes and operating  expenses.  All leases have been accounted for
       as operating  leases.  Rental  income is  recognized  by  amortizing  the
       aggregate lease payments on the straight-line basis over the entire terms
       of the leases.

3.     Leases:

       Harborside  is leased to tenants under  various  noncancelable  operating
       leases with  unexpired  terms ranging from 1 to 17 years.  Minimum future
       rentals on  noncancelable  leases  which extend for more than one year at
       September 30, 1996 are as follows:

                                         Thereafter                178,549,000
                                                                   ------------

                                                                  $304,331,000
                                                                  ============
</TABLE>


       Certain leases have  provisions  for  additional  rent based on operating
       expenses  and real  estate  taxes.  Such  amounts  are  reflected  in the
       Historical  Summary as escalation  revenue.  Minimum rentals above do not
       include recovery of operating expenses and real estate taxes.

       Included in minimum future rentals are approximately $91 million from the
       American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, $41 million from Bank
       of Tokyo,  $39 million from Dean Witter Trust  Company,  $32 million from
       Telerate Systems  Incorporated,  and $20 million from BT Harborside Inc.,
       five major tenants who paid  approximately  $4.8  million,  $2.7 million,
       $3.8 million, $7.6 million, and $2.2 million,  respectively,  in base and
       additional rent during 1996 and who occupy  approximately  13 percent,  7
       percent,  10 percent,  20 percent and 21 percent of the  leasable  space,
       respectively.

       Also included in future minimum rentals is approximately $28 million from
       Kinney Parking  Systems,  which operates the parking  facility,  and paid
       approximately  $2.2  million  in base  rent  for the  nine  months  ended
       September 30, 1996.



4.     Related Parties:

       Institutional Realty Management,  LLC ("IRM"),  which replaced Jones Lang
       Wootton USA ("JLW-USA") during April 1996,  provides property  management
       services to  Harborside.  For its  services  IRM and  JLW-USA  received a
       management  fee up to 5% of gross  income  collected,  as  defined in the
       management  agreements.  For the  nine-month  period ended  September 30,
       1996, fees incurred under these agreements amounted to $1,127,799,  which
       is included in other property costs in the Historical Summary.

5.     Tax Abatements:

       On May 12, 1988, tax  abatements  for  Harborside  were obtained from the
       Municipal  Council  of the City of Jersey  City.  The  abatements,  which
       commenced  in 1990,  are for a term of 15 years and have been  granted in
       consideration  for annual service charges in lieu of real estate taxes on
       the  building.  The  service  charges  for the  buildings  are equal to 2
       percent of Total Project Costs,  as defined,  in year one and increase by
       $75,000 per annum through year fifteen.  Total Project Costs, as defined,
       for  Plaza  II and III are  $148,712,000.  The  service  charges  for the
       remaining undeveloped parcels will be equal to 2 percent of Total Project
       Costs  for  each  unit in year  one and  increase  to 3  percent  by year
       fifteen.  In addition,  BT Harborside Inc., a tenant which occupies space
       in Plaza I, obtained its own tax abatement.

       Pursuant  to  Section  7  of  the  Financial   Agreement   Urban  Renewal
       Corporations or Association Annual Service Charge in Lieu of Taxes, dated
       September  28,  1988  between  the owners of  Harborside  and the City of

               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES



   1.    ORGANIZATION AND  OPERATION OF PROPERTY

         For the purpose of the accompanying  statements of revenues and certain
         expenses,  Five Sentry Parkway East and West (the "Properties") are two
         office  buildings  located  in  Plymouth  Meeting,  Montgomery  County,
         Pennsylvania  in an office  park  known as Sentry  Parkway  which  were
         acquired by a subsidiary of Cali Realty  Corporation (the "Company") on
         November 7, 1996.

   2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          a.    Basis of Presentation
                The  accompanying  statement of revenue and certain expenses has
                been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

                The accompanying  financial  statement is not  representative of
                the  actual  operations  for the  period  presented,  as certain
                revenues  and  expenses,  which  may  not be  comparable  to the
                revenues and expenses to be earned or incurred by the Company in
                the future  operations  of the  Properties  have been  excluded.
                Revenues   excluded  consist  of  interest  and  other  revenues
                unrelated  to  the  continuing  operations  of  the  Properties.
                Expenses  excluded  consist of  depreciation of the building and
                improvements,   and   amortization  of  organization  and  other
                intangible  costs and other expenses not directly related to the
                future operations of the Properties.

          b.    Use of Estimates
                The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  accordance  with
                generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
                make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts
                of assets and liabilities  and disclosures of contingent  assets
                and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the
                reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the period.
                Actual results could differ from these estimates.

          c.    Revenue Recognition
                Base  rents are  recognized  on a  straight-line  basis over the
                terms of the respective leases.

         percent of revenues  received which totaled $49,807 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996.

   5.    INTERIM STATEMENTS

unaudited;  however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all

presented are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the

               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

   1.    ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION OF PROPERTY

         For the purpose of the  accompanying  statements of revenue and certain
         expenses,  Whiteweld  Centre  (the  "Property")  is an office  building
         located in Woodcliff  Lake, New Jersey acquired by a subsidiary of Cali
         Realty Corporation (the "Company") on December 10, 1996.

   2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         a.    Basis of Presentation
               The accompanying  statements of revenue and certain expenses have
               been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

               The accompanying  financial  statements are not representative of
               the  actual  operations  or  the  period  presented,  as  certain
               revenues  and  expenses,  which  may  not  be  comparable  to the
               revenues  and expenses to be earned or incurred by the Company in
               the  future  operations  of  the  Property  have  been  excluded.
               Revenues excluded consist of interest unrelated to the continuing
               operations  of  the  Property.   Expenses   excluded  consist  of
               depreciation of the building and  improvements,  and amortization
               of organization and other intangible costs and other expenses not
               directly related to the future operations of the Property.

         b.    Use of Estimates
               The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with
               generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to
               make  estimates and  assumptions  that affect the  disclosures of
               contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
               statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses
               during the period.
               Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         c.    Revenue Recognition
               Base  rents are  recognized  on a  straight-lined  basis over the
               terms of the lease.  Certain lease agreements  contain provisions
               which provide for reimbursements by tenants of real estate taxes,
               utility and other  operating  costs,  generally over  established
               base year amounts, as defined in the tenant lease.

   3.    LEASES

         Leases for the  Property  have  various  lease terms up to twelve years
         with options to certain tenants for renewal. Minimum rental amounts for
         certain leases increase as set forth under the terms of each lease.

Cali Realty Corporation
Cranford, New Jersey


     We have audited the accompanying  Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
for the property known as One Bridge Plaza for the year ended December 31, 1995.
This financial statement is the responsibility of management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

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

     The accompanying  statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared as
described in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Cali
Realty  Corporation)  and is not intended to be a complete  presentation  of One
Bridge Plaza revenues and expenses.

     In our opinion the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses for One Bridge Plaza,
on the basis  described  in Note 2, for the year ended  December  31,  1995,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

   1.    Organization and Operation of Property

         For the purpose of the  accompanying  statements of revenue and certain
         expenses,  One Bridge  Plaza  (the  "Property")  is an office  building
         located in Fort Lee, New Jersey acquired by a subsidiary of Cali Realty
         Corporation (the "Company") on December 16, 1996.

   2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         a.    Basis of Presentation
               The accompanying  statements of revenue and certain expenses have
               been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

               The accompanying  financial  statements are not representative of
               the  actual  operation  for the  periods  presented,  as  certain
               revenues  and  expenses,  which  may  not  be  comparable  to the
               revenues  and expenses to be earned or incurred by the Company in
               the  future  operations  of the  Property,  have  been  excluded.
               Revenues excluded consist of interest unrelated to the continuing
               operations  of  the  Property.   Expenses   excluded  consist  of
               depreciation of the building and  improvements,  and amortization
               of organization and other intangible costs and other expenses not
               directly related to the future operations of the Property.

         b.    Use of Estimates
               The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with
               generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to
               make  estimates and  assumptions  that affect the  disclosures of
               contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
               statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses
               during the period.
               Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         c.    Revenue Recognition
               Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms
               of the lease.  Certain lease agreements  contain provisions which
               provide  for  reimbursements  by  tenants of real  estate  taxes,
               utility and other  operating  costs,  generally over  established
               base year amounts, as defined in the tenant lease.

   3.    LEASES

         Leases for the  Property  have  various  lease terms up to twelve years
         with options to certain tenants for renewal. Minimum rental amounts for
         certain leases increase as set forth under the terms of each lease.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The  International  Court at Airport  Business  Center  (the  "Airport  Center")
consists  of three  individual  multi-tenant  office  buildings  in the  Airport
Business Center located in Lester,  Pennsylvania.  The Airport Center properties
have  been  acquired  by a  subsidiary  of Cali  Realty  Corporation,  who  will
subsequently  file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited  interim statement has been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounts of
each of the  properties  comprising  the  Airport  Center  are  combined  in the
statement of revenue and certain expenses.  There are no inter-property accounts
to be eliminated.  The financial  statement is not  representative of the actual
operations  for  the  period  presented  as  certain  expenses  that  may not be
comparable  to the  expenses  expected  to be incurred  in the  proposed  future
operations of the Airport Center have been excluded.  Expenses  excluded consist
of  interest,  amortization,  professional  fees,  and other costs not  directly
related to the future operations of the Airport Center.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  amounts  reported in the financial  statements and  accompanying  notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(a)  Represents the purchase cost of the Acquisitions for $409,135.  Included in
     the  cost  of the  Acquisitions  and as a  corresponding  liability  is the
     Development  Rights  Contingent  Obligation  with a net  present  value  of
     approximately  $5,252.  The  initial  acquisition  cost of  Harborside  was
     financed  with  a  combination  of  assumed   mortgage  debt  of  $107,912,
     seller-provided  mortgage debt of $42,088,  and  approximately  $136,700 in
     cash made available through the Company's  revolving credit facilities.  In
     addition,  adjustments reflect the net proceeds (after offering costs) from
     the November 1996 Offering of $441,000.  The net proceeds from the offering
     are reflected as being used to reduce the outstanding borrowings  under the
     Company's  revolving credit facilities and fund the  Acquisitions,  and the
     balance is held in cash and cash equivalents.

(c)     The pro forma  adjustments  to  interest  expense  reflect  interest  on
        mortgage debt assumed with certain  acquisitions and the use of proceeds
        from the Offerings to pay down  outstanding  borrowings on the Company's
        credit facilities. Pro forma interest expense is computed as follows:

         Interest  expense can be effected by  increases  and  decreases  in the
         variable interest rates under the Company's various floating rate debt.
         For example,  a one-eighth  percent  change in such  variable  interest
         rates will result in a $86 change for the nine months  ended  September
         30, 1996.

         pro forma weighted  average  minority  interest  (Units) in Cali Realty
         L.P. (the Operating Partnership).

(e)      Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding is computed assuming that
         the  Offerings  occurred as of January 1, 1995 and that shares were not
         issued in excess of  amounts  needed to fund the  Acquisitions  and pay
         down the credit facilities.

($27,000,000.00) (the "Purchase Price").

               Section 1.4 Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price (which

               Section 1.5 Deposit.  Purchaser is depositing  with Stewart Title
Guaranty Company (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Escrow Agent" or the
"Title  Company"),   having  an  office  at  Crossroads  Corporate  Center,  One
International Boulevard, Suite 600, Mahwah, New Jersey 07495 Attention:  Jeffrey
C. Louis, (a) simultaneously  with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($500,000.00) (the "Initial
Deposit"),  and (b) in the event that  Purchaser  gives Seller an  Investigation
Notice (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) no later than December 3, 1996 stating
Purchaser's  intention to proceed hereunder,  the sum of TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($2,200,000.00) (the "Additional  Deposit") in good
funds,  either by check or by federal wire transfer (the Initial Deposit and the
Additional Deposit being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Deposit").
The Escrow  Agent shall hold the Initial  Deposit and  Additional  Deposit in an
<PAGE>
interest-bearing  account  reasonably  acceptable  to Seller and  Purchaser,  in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  All interest on the
Deposit shall be deemed income of Purchaser,  and Purchaser shall be responsible
for the  payment  of all costs and fees  imposed  on the  Deposit  account.  The
Deposit and all accrued  interest shall be  distributed  in accordance  with the
terms of this Agreement.  The failure of Purchaser to timely deliver any portion
of the Deposit  hereunder  shall entitle  Seller,  at Seller's  sole option,  to
terminate  this Agreement  immediately  and the Initial  Deposit,  if previously
deposited with Escrow Agent, shall be refunded to Purchaser. Any interest earned
on the Deposit shall be credited to Purchaser at the Closing. If the transaction
contemplated  by  this  Agreement  closes  in  accordance  with  the  terms  and
conditions of this Agreement,  at the Closing, the Deposit shall be delivered by
Escrow Agent to Seller as payment towards the Purchase Price. If the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement fails to close, the Deposit shall be delivered by
Escrow  Agent to the party  entitled  to the same  pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement  and the  accrued  interest  shall be  delivered  by  Escrow  Agent to
Purchaser.

               Section 1.6 Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of
the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser
agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent  hereunder are purely  ministerial  in
nature and shall be expressly  limited to the safekeeping and disposition of the
Deposit in accordance with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall incur no liability
in connection  with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit for any reason
other than Escrow Agent's willful  misconduct or gross  negligence.  If only one
party makes demand for payment of the Deposit,  Escrow Agent shall promptly give
written notice to the other party of such demand. Escrow Agent is authorized and
directed to honor such demand  unless the other party objects to Escrow Agent in
writing  within ten (10) days after  receipt of Escrow  Agent's  notice.  In the
event that Escrow Agent shall be in doubt as to its duties or  obligations  with
regard to the Deposit,  or in the event that Escrow Agent  receives  conflicting
instructions from Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Deposit, Escrow Agent
shall not be required to disburse  the Deposit and may, at its option,  continue
to hold the Deposit until both Purchaser and Seller agree as to its disposition,
or  until a final  judgment  is  entered  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction
directing  its  disposition,  or Escrow  Agent may  interplead  the  Deposit  in
accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

               Escrow  Agent shall not be  responsible  for any  interest on the
Deposit except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest  resulting
from the withdrawal of the Deposit prior to the date interest is posted thereon.

               Escrow Agent shall execute this Agreement  solely for the purpose
of being bound by the provisions of Sections 1.5 and 1.6 hereof.


                                   ARTICLE II

                                TITLE AND SURVEY


               Section  2.1  Existing  Title  and  Survey   Matters.   Purchaser
acknowledges  and agrees that: (a) Purchaser has obtained prior to the Effective
Date: (i) a title  insurance  policy (the "Owner's Title Policy") dated November
8, 1996 and issued by Stewart Title Guaranty  Company (Case Number US 2126); and
(ii) a copy of the land  title  survey  prepared  by Boswell  Engineering  dated
September  20,  1996,  for the Land and the  Improvements  (the  "Survey");  (b)
<PAGE>
Purchaser  has had an  opportunity,  prior to the  Effective  Date, to order and
receive its own title report from the Title  Company and survey for the Land and
the Improvements;  and (C) the matters (the "Existing Title And Survey Matters")
set forth on Exhibit R attached hereto and made a part hereof,  have been agreed
to and  accepted by  Purchaser.  Seller  agrees that title to the Real  Property
shall be delivered to Purchaser  subject only to the title  exceptions  shown on
Exhibit R and Purchaser has agreed to and accepted the same.

               Section 2.2 Pre-Closing "Gap" Title Defects. Purchaser may, at or
prior to Closing,  notify Seller in writing (the "Gap Notice") of any objections
to title that are not  Permitted  Exceptions  (as  defined  in Section  2.3) (a)
raised by the Title Company  between the Effective  Date and the Closing and (b)
not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise  known to Purchaser prior to the
Effective Date  (collectively,  "Defects");  provided that Purchaser must notify
Seller of any such Defect  within a reasonable  time (but not more than five (5)
business days) of being made aware of the existence of such Defect. If Purchaser
sends a Gap Notice to Seller,  Seller  shall have ten (10)  business  days after
receipt of the Gap Notice to notify  Purchaser  (a) that  Seller will remove any
Defect  described  therein  from title on or before the Closing;  provided  that
Seller may extend the  Closing  for such  period as shall be  required to effect
such cure,  but not beyond  thirty (30) days;  or (b) that Seller  elects not to
cause any such Defect to be removed. The procurement by Seller of an endorsement
to the Title  Policy (as  defined  in Section  2.4  hereof)  insuring  Purchaser
against any Defect which was  disapproved  pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be
deemed a cure by Seller of such  disapproval.  If Seller gives Purchaser  notice
under clause (b) above,  Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days in which to
notify Seller that  Purchaser  will  nevertheless  proceed with the purchase and
take title to the  Property  subject to such  Defects,  or that  Purchaser  will
terminate this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that if Purchaser shall
fail to notify Seller of its election within said ten-day period, then Purchaser
shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement).  If this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to the foregoing  provisions of this paragraph,  then (1)
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for
any indemnity  obligations of either party  pursuant to the other  provisions of
this  Agreement),  (2) Seller shall direct Escrow Agent to refund the Deposit to
Purchaser,  and (3) Seller shall  refund to  Purchaser  all charges made for (i)
examining the title; (ii) any appropriate  additional municipal searches made in
accordance with this Agreement;  and (iii) survey and survey inspection charges.
Notwithstanding  anything  hereinbefore provided to the contrary, in all events,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have objected to, and Seller, shall be obligated to
discharge and remove,  the following title exceptions:  (i) any title exceptions
which are  mortgages or similar  encumbrances  entered into by Seller;  (ii) any
title  exceptions  created  by  Seller  after the date  hereof  and prior to the
Closing;  (iii) any title exceptions which can be removed or cured solely by the
payment  of money,  provided  the  aggregate  cost  thereof  does not exceed ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY  THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($150,000.00);  and (iv) those title
exceptions shown in the Owner's Title Policy that are not shown on Exhibit R.

               Section 2.3 Permitted Exceptions.  The Property shall be conveyed
subject to the  following  matters,  which are  hereinafter  referred  to as the
"Permitted Exceptions":

               (a) those  matters  that either are not objected to in writing as
provided in Section 2.2 hereof,  or if objected to in writing by Purchaser,  are
those which  Seller has elected not to remove or cure (to the extent that Seller
may make such election  under this  Agreement),  or has been unable to remove or
cure, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have elected to
accept the conveyance of the Property;
<PAGE>
               (b) the rights of tenants under the Leases;

               (c) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and  assessments
not yet due and  payable as of the date of  Closing,  subject to  adjustment  as
herein provided;

               (d) local,  state and federal laws,  ordinances  or  governmental
regulations,  including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances
and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; and

               (e) the Existing Title And Survey Matters.

               Section 2.4 Conveyance of Title.

               (a) At Closing,  Seller  shall  convey and  transfer to Purchaser
insurable  title  (as  that  term  is  hereinafter  defined)  to  the  Land  and
Improvements  (i.e., that portion which constitutes real property) in recordable
form,  subject  to no liens,  claims,  encumbrances,  rights-of-way,  easements,
restrictions, reservations, covenants, conditions, claims, liabilities, charges,
reversions or other agreements or any other matter  affecting title,  except for
the  Permitted  Exceptions,  and such other facts any  updated  survey or survey
inspections thereof would show, provided such other state of facts do not affect
insurable title or materially restrict or prohibit the maintenance or use of the
Improvements  for their  present  purposes.  The  words  "insurable  title"  and
"insurable"  as used in this Agreement are hereby defined to mean title which is
insurable at standard  rates (without  special  premium) by the Title Company or
another  national  title  company  without  exception  other than the  Permitted
Exceptions,  and  standard  printed  policy and survey  exceptions.  Evidence of
delivery of such title shall be the  issuance by the Title  Company,  or another
national title company,  of an ALTA (10-17-92) Owner's Policy of Title Insurance
(the  "Title  Policy")  covering  the Real  Property,  in the full amount of the
Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

               (b) Seller shall  comply with all notes or notices of  violations
of law or municipal ordinances, orders or requirements noted in or issued by any
governmental  department having authority as to lands,  buildings,  fire, health
and labor conditions affecting the Property  (hereinafter  collectively referred
to as "Laws") as of the  Effective  Date.  Seller shall comply with all notes or
notices of violations of Law arising  between the Effective Date and the Closing
provided that the aggregate cost of removing such  violations and performing any
related repairs does not exceed FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($50,000.00).
The Property  shall be  transferred  free of them at the  Closing.  Seller shall
furnish  Purchaser with any  authorizations  necessary to make the searches that
could disclose these matters.  Notwithstanding the forgoing,  to the extent that
any of the Leases  requires the tenants  thereunder to comply with Laws,  Seller
shall have no  obligation  to cure any  violations  of Laws prior to the Closing
which are the  obligations  of such tenants to cure pursuant to the terms of the
Leases;  provided,  however,  that Seller shall notify any tenant of a violation
caused by such tenant and shall take all actions  reasonably  necessary to cause
the  tenant  to cure the same in the  manner  required  under  the terms of such
tenant's Lease.  Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore provided to the contrary,
in the event that either (1) the  aggregate  cost of removing  violations of Law
arising  between the date of this  Agreement and the Closing  (which are not the
obligation of any tenant to cure) and  performing  any related  repairs  exceeds
<PAGE>
FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00), or (2) after November 27, 1996 a
tenant causes a violation of Law [or, after November 27, 1996, Purchaser becomes
aware of a violation of Law caused by a tenant which Purchaser could not, in the
exercise of due diligence,  have been made aware of during the Inspection Period
(as  defined  in  Section  3.3)]  which  is not  cured by the  Closing  and such
violation  is capable of being  cured by an  expenditure  of money whose cost is
estimated  to exceed  FIFTY  THOUSAND  AND  00/100  DOLLARS  ($50,000.00),  then
Purchaser may, at its option,  (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller,  in  which  event  neither  party  shall  have  any  further  rights  or
obligations  hereunder  (except for any  indemnity  obligations  of either party
pursuant to the other  provisions of this  Agreement)  and the sole liability of
Seller shall be as provided in the fifth  sentence of Section 2.2 above,  or (b)
subject to the terms of this Section 2.4(b), Purchaser may purchase the Property
with such violations.

               Section  3.1  Right of  Inspection.  Purchaser  acknowledges  and
agrees that it has had an opportunity,  prior to the Effective Date, to make any
and all physical and other  inspections  of the Property as Purchaser has deemed
necessary and/or appropriate in connection with the transaction  contemplated by
this Agreement,  and that Purchaser has agreed, subject to the next sentence and
the  provisions of Article VII hereof,  to accept the Property at the Closing in
the  condition  that  exists on the  Effective  Date,  reasonable  wear and tear
excepted.  Seller  acknowledges  and agrees that Purchaser has not completed its
review  of,  and has not,  as of the  Effective  Date  approved  of,  any of the
component  systems that may be related to the perimeter  leaking,  including the
building skin, roof, cover, flashing details, parapet - shroud and exterior wall
systems,  or the terms and  conditions of that certain  Electric  Energy Savings
Purchase  Agreement  dated August 31, 1994 (the  "Electric  Agreement").  Seller
acknowledges  and agrees that Purchaser  shall have the right to make additional
physical and other  inspections  of the  Property  after the  Effective  Date in
accordance  with the terms of that certain  access  agreement  dated November 8,
1996 between Seller and  Purchaser.  Seller agrees to extend the right of access
to the Property under the foregoing  access  agreement from November 15, 1996 to
the date of the Closing.

               Section 3.2 Environmental  Reports.  PURCHASER  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
(1) PURCHASER HAS RECEIVED COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT
D ATTACHED HERETO, (2) IF SELLER DELIVERS ANY ADDITIONAL  ENVIRONMENTAL  REPORTS
TO PURCHASER,  PURCHASER  WILL  ACKNOWLEDGE IN WRITING THAT IT HAS RECEIVED SUCH
REPORTS  PROMPTLY  UPON  RECEIPT  THEREOF,  AND  (3) ANY  ENVIRONMENTAL  REPORTS
DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS TO PURCHASER
ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE  SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO PURCHASER AND MAY NOT BE
RELIED UPON BY  PURCHASER  IN  CONNECTION  WITH THE  PURCHASE  OF THE  PROPERTY.
PURCHASER  AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR  OBLIGATION  WHATSOEVER
FOR ANY  INACCURACY  IN OR OMISSION  FROM ANY  ENVIRONMENTAL  REPORT.  PURCHASER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS CONDUCTED,  PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, ITS
OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE  ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT
PURCHASER  DEEMED SUCH AN  INVESTIGATION  TO BE  NECESSARY OR  APPROPRIATE,  AND
PURCHASER HAS APPROVED OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.
<PAGE>
               Section  3.3 Right of  Termination.  During the period  beginning
upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m.  (local time at the Property) on
December 3, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Period"), Purchaser
shall have the right to  examine  at the  Property  (or the  property  manager's
office,  as the case may be)  documents and files located at the Property or the
property  manager's office concerning the leasing,  maintenance and operation of
the Property, but excluding Seller's partnership or corporate records,  internal
memoranda,  financial  projections,  budgets,  appraisals,  accounting  and  tax
records  and  similar  proprietary,   confidential  or  privileged   information
(collectively,  the "Confidential Documents").  If based upon its examination of
the Confidential Documents, Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that the
Property  or any  aspect  thereof is  unsuitable  for  Purchaser's  acquisition,
Purchaser  shall  have the right to  terminate  this  Agreement  as  hereinafter
provided in the first  paragraph of this Section 3.3.  Purchaser  shall elect to
either  proceed with the purchase of the Property or terminate this Agreement by
giving  written  notice  of its  intention  to  Seller  and  Escrow  Agent  (the
"Investigation  Notice") no later than  December 3, 1996.  In the event that the
Investigation  Notice is not  received by Seller by December 3, 1996 (time being
of the  essence),  Purchaser  shall be deemed  to have  elected  not to  proceed
hereunder.  If (i) Seller shall not have  received the  Investigation  Notice by
December 3, 1996, or (ii) Seller shall have received the Investigation Notice by
December 3, 1996 stating  Purchaser's  intention not to proceed  hereunder (time
being of the  essence),  then  neither  party shall have any  further  rights or
obligations  hereunder  (except for any  indemnity  obligations  of either party
pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), and Seller shall direct and
authorize  Escrow Agent to promptly  return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser and
each party  shall bear its own costs  incurred  hereunder.  If  Purchaser  gives
Seller,  no later  than  December  3,  1996,  an  Investigation  Notice  stating
Purchaser's  intention  to  proceed  hereunder  accompanied  by  the  Additional
Deposit,  then  Purchaser  shall be deemed to have  elected to proceed  with the
purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof.

               Purchaser shall also have the following  rights to terminate this
Agreement: (i) at any time during the period from the Effective Date to December
3, 1996, in the event that the  condition of any of the  component  systems that
may be related to the  perimeter  leaking,  including the building  skin,  roof,
cover,   flashing  details,   parapet-shroud  and  exterior  wall  systems,   is
unacceptable  to  Purchaser,  or if the terms  and  conditions  of the  Electric
Agreement are satisfactory to Purchaser,  and (ii) at any time during the period
from the  Effective  Date up to and  including  the date of the Closing,  in the
event that any of the  representations  and  warranties of Seller in Section 5.1
hereof,  without taking into account the knowledge  standard,  is incorrect.  If
this  Agreement is terminated by Purchaser in  accordance  with the  immediately
preceding  sentence,  Seller shall direct and authorize Escrow Agent to promptly
return the Deposit,  or portion thereof previously  deposited with Escrow Agent,
to Purchaser, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder.

               Section 3.4 Review of Tenant  Estoppels.  Seller shall deliver to
each tenant of the Property an estoppel certificate in substantially the form of
Exhibit E attached hereto (the "Tenant  Estoppels"),  and shall request that the
tenants complete and sign the Tenant Estoppels and return them to Seller. Seller
shall deliver  copies of the completed  Tenant  Estoppels to Purchaser as Seller
receives them by means of  transmittal  letters that indicate that Purchaser has
five (5)  business  days to  object  to the  Tenant  Estoppels  sent  therewith.
Purchaser  shall notify  Seller  within five (5) business days of receipt of any
<PAGE>
Tenant  Estoppel in the event  Purchaser  determines such Tenant Estoppel is not
acceptable to Purchaser  along with the reasons for such  determination.  In the
event that Seller's  transmittal  letter  indicates  that Purchaser has five (5)
business  days  to  object  to the  Tenant  Estoppels  delivered  therewith  and
Purchaser  fails to give such notice  within such five (5)  business day period,
then any such Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser.  In
the event that Seller fails to obtain the Tenant  Estoppels (or in lieu thereof,
at  Seller's  option,  Seller  estoppels  therefor)  that  are  satisfactory  to
Purchaser with respect to tenants of the Property that meet the tenant  estoppel
standards  described  on  Exhibit F attached  hereto on or before  five (5) days
prior to Closing,  Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written  notice to Seller.  If this  Agreement  is  terminated  pursuant  to the
foregoing  provisions  of this  paragraph,  then  neither  party  shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of
either party pursuant to the other  provisions of this  Agreement),  the Deposit
shall be returned to  Purchaser,  and the sole  liability  of Seller shall be as
provided in the fifth sentence of Section 2.2 above.  If Purchaser fails to give
Seller a notice of termination as set forth above,  Purchaser shall be deemed to
have approved the Tenant Estoppels (and Seller estoppels,  if applicable) and to
have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property  pursuant to the terms
hereof.  Any  Tenant  Estoppel  which is  received  from a tenant  after  Seller
provides its own estoppel may be  substituted  for Seller's  estoppel and Seller
shall have no further liability  thereunder,  provided that such Tenant Estoppel
contains  no changes or, if  changed,  is  otherwise  reasonably  acceptable  to
Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                                     CLOSING

               Section 4.1 Time and Place.  The  consummation of the transaction
contemplated  hereby (the  "Closing")  shall be held at Seller's  offices at 200
Park  Avenue,  12th  floor,  New York,  NY, and at  Seller's  option,  on either
December 16, 1996 or January 15, 1997.  Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing
no  later  than  December  9,  1996 as to which  of the  foregoing  dates it has
selected for the Closing. At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the
obligations set forth in, respectively,  Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 hereof, the
performance of which obligations shall be concurrent  conditions;  provided that
the Deed shall not be recorded until Seller  receives  confirmation  that Seller
has received the full amount of the Purchase  Price,  adjusted by  prorations as
set forth herein.

               Section 4.2 Seller's  Obligations at Closing. At Closing,  Seller
shall:

               (a) deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and acknowledged bargain
and sale deed (the "Deed") in the form attached  hereto as Exhibit G,  conveying
the Land and Improvements, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. At Seller's
option, and for convenience, Seller may omit from the Deed the recital of any or
all of the "subject to" clauses  concerning  the Permitted  Exceptions,  but the
same shall nevertheless  survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed. The terms
of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and the delivery
of the Deed;

               (b) deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and acknowledged bill of
sale (the "Bill of Sale")  conveying the Personal  Property  without warranty of
title or use and without warranty, express or implied, as to merchantability and
fitness for any purpose and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H;
<PAGE>
               (c)  assign  to  Purchaser,   and  Purchaser  shall  assume,  the
landlord/lessor  interest in and to the Leases, Rents and Security Deposits, and
any and all  obligations  to pay  leasing  commissions  and  finder's  fees with
respect to the Leases and amendments,  renewals and expansions  thereof,  to the
extent provided in Section 4.4(b)(v) hereof, by a duly executed and acknowledged
assignment  and assumption  agreement  (the  "Assignment of Leases") in the form
attached  hereto as  Exhibit I  pursuant  to which (i)  Seller  shall  indemnify
Purchaser  and hold  Purchaser  harmless  from and  against  any and all  claims
pertaining  thereto  arising prior to Closing and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify
Seller and hold Seller  harmless from and against any and all claims  pertaining
thereto arising from and after the Closing, including without limitation, claims
made by tenants with respect to tenants'  Security  Deposits to the extent paid,
credited or assigned to Purchaser;

               (d) to the extent assignable,  assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser
shall  assume,  Seller's  interest  in the  Operating  Agreements  and the other
Intangibles  by a duly  executed  and  acknowledged  assignment  and  assumption
agreement (the "Assignment of Contracts") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
J pursuant to which (i) Seller  shall  indemnify  Purchaser  and hold  Purchaser
harmless from and against any and all claims pertaining thereto arising prior to
Closing and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify  Seller and hold Seller harmless from
and against any and all claims  pertaining  thereto  arising  from and after the
Closing;

               (e) join with Purchaser to execute a notice (the "Tenant Notice")
in the form  attached  hereto as Exhibit K, which  Purchaser  shall send to each
tenant  under each of the Leases  promptly  after the  Closing,  informing  such
tenant  of the  sale of the  Property  and of the  assignment  to  Purchaser  of
Seller's  interest  in,  and  obligations  under,  the  Leases  (including,   if
applicable,  any Security Deposits),  and directing that all Rent and other sums
payable  after the  Closing  under  each such  Lease be paid as set forth in the
notice;

               (f) In the event that any  representation  or  warranty of Seller
needs to be modified,  deliver to Purchaser a certificate,  dated as of the date
of  Closing  and  executed  on behalf of  Seller  by a duly  authorized  officer
thereof,  identifying any  representation or warranty which is not, or no longer
is,  true and  correct  and  explaining  the state of facts  giving  rise to the
change.  In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for, or be deemed to be
in default  hereunder  by reason of, any breach of  representation  or  warranty
which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the
Closing, and (ii) is expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement or is beyond
the  reasonable  control  of  Seller to  prevent;  provided,  however,  that the
occurrence of a change shall constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set
forth in Section 4.6(b) hereof and shall entitle Purchaser to receive the return
of the Deposit plus  reimbursement by Seller to Purchaser of Purchaser's  actual
out-of-pocket  expenses in connection with any such default or breach (but in no
event shall such reimbursement  exceed the sum of $25,000.00),  which return and
reimbursement  shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from
any and all liability hereunder.  If, despite changes or other matters described
in such certificate, the Closing occurs, Seller's representations and warranties
set  forth in this  Agreement  shall be  deemed  to have  been  modified  by all
statements made in such certificate;

               (g) deliver to Purchaser  such  evidence as the Title Company may
reasonably  require  as to the  authority  of the  person or  persons  executing
documents on behalf of Seller;
<PAGE>
               (h)  deliver to  Purchaser  a  certificate  in the form  attached
hereto  as  Exhibit  L duly  executed  by Seller  stating  that  Seller is not a
"foreign  person" as defined in the Federal Foreign  Investment in Real Property
Tax Act of 1980;

               (i) deliver to  Purchaser  an original  (or a  photocopy,  to the
extent an original is not in the  possession of Seller or its managing agent for
the  Property)  executed  counterpart  of each of the Leases  and the  Operating
Agreements, together with such leasing and property files and records located at
the Property or the property  manager's  office which are material in connection
with the continued  operation,  leasing and  maintenance  of the  Property,  but
excluding any Confidential Documents.  For a period of three (3) years after the
Closing,  Purchaser shall allow Seller and its agents and representatives access
without charge to all files, records and documents delivered to Purchaser at the
Closing,  upon reasonable advance notice and at all reasonable times, to examine
and make copies of any and all such files,  records and  documents,  which right
shall survive the Closing. Seller shall upon request of Purchaser after Closing,
assist Purchaser in its preparation of audited financial statements,  statements
of income and expense and such other  documentation  as Purchaser may reasonably
request covering the period of Seller's ownership of the Property;

               (j) deliver such  affidavits,  including  without  limitation  an
affidavit of title, as may be customarily  and reasonably  required by the Title
Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller;

               (k)  deliver  to  Purchaser   possession  and  occupancy  of  the

the State of New Jersey  Department of Environmental  Protection and Energy with
respect to the  Property,  which letter  confirms the  non-applicability  of the
Industrial  Site  Recovery Act (formerly  known as the New Jersey  Environmental
Cleanup  Responsibility  Act) and the  regulations  promulgated  thereunder with
respect to the Property;

               (m) execute and  acknowledge  a closing  statement  acceptable to
Seller and Purchaser;

               (n)  deliver all such  transfer  and other tax  declarations  and
returns and information returns,  duly executed and sworn to by Seller as may be
required of Seller by law in connection  with the  conveyance of the Property to
Purchaser,  including but not limited to, Internal  Revenue Service forms 1099-S
and 1096;

               (o)   deliver  all   non-proprietary   books,   records,   plans,
specifications, drawings, permits, business licenses, certificates of occupancy,
keys (with appropriate identification), and other documents or items, if any, in
Seller's  possession  or control and relating to the  operation of the Property;
and

               (p) deliver  such  additional  documents  as shall be  reasonably
required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
<PAGE>
               Section  4.3  Purchaser's  Obligations  at  Closing.  At Closing,
Purchaser shall:

               (a) pay to Seller the full amount of the Purchase Price (it being
understood  that  a  portion  of  the  Purchase  Price  may  be  payable  by the
disbursement  by  Escrow  Agent of the  Deposit  to  Seller  at the  Closing  in
immediately  available  wire  transferred  funds),  as increased or decreased by
prorations and  adjustments as herein  provided,  in immediately  available wire
transferred funds pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof;

               (b)  join  Seller  in  execution  of the  Assignment  of  Leases,
Assignment of Contracts and Tenant Notices;

               (c) In the event that any representation or warranty of Purchaser
set forth in Sections  5.5(a) or (b) hereof  needs to be modified due to changes
since the Effective Date, deliver to Seller a certificate,  dated as of the date
of  Closing  and  executed  on  behalf  of   Purchaser  by  a  duly   authorized
representative thereof, identifying any such representation or warranty which is
not, or no longer is, true and correct and  explaining the state of facts giving
rise to the change.  In no event shall  Purchaser be liable to Seller for, or be
deemed to be in default  hereunder by reason of, any breach of representation or
warranty  set forth in  Sections  5.5(a) or (b) hereof  which  results  from any
change that (i) occurs  between the  Effective  Date and the date of Closing and
(ii) is expressly  permitted  under the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the
reasonable  control  of  Purchaser  to  prevent;  provided,  however,  that  the
occurrence  of a change  which  is not  permitted  hereunder  or is  beyond  the
reasonable  control of  Purchaser to prevent  shall,  if  materially  adverse to
Seller,  constitute  the  non-fulfillment  of the condition set forth in Section
4.7(C)  hereof;   if,  despite  changes  or  other  matters  described  in  such
certificate,  the Closing occurs, Purchaser's representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement  shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements
made in such certificate;

               (d)  deliver to Seller  such  evidence  as the Title  Company may
reasonably  require  as to the  authority  of the  person or  persons  executing

               (e) deliver such  affidavits as may be customarily and reasonably
required by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser;

               (f)  execute a closing  statement  acceptable  to  Purchaser  and
Seller; and

               (g) deliver  such  additional  documents  as shall be  reasonably
required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

               Section 4.4 Credits and Prorations.

               (a) All income and expenses of the Property  shall be apportioned
as of 12:01 a.m., on the day of Closing,  as if Purchaser were vested with title
to the Property during the entire day upon which Closing  occurs.  Such prorated
items shall include without limitation the following:

                   (i)all Rents, if any;
<PAGE>
                   (ii)taxes, sewer rents, street vault charges and assessments,
                   if any,  on the basis of the fiscal  year or period for which
                   assessed,  except that if the Closing  shall occur before the
                   tax rate,  sewer rent,  street vault charges or assessment is
                   fixed, then the apportionment of taxes,  sewer rents,  street
                   vault charges or  assessments  shall be upon the basis of the
                   tax rate,  sewer rent,  street vault charge or assessment for
                   the  next  preceding  year  applied  to the  latest  assessed
                   valuation available at the time of Closing;

                   (iii)  utility  charges for which  Seller is liable,  if any,
                   such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the
                   most recent meter reading  occurring  prior to Closing (dated
                   not more than fifteen  (15) days prior to  Closing),  subject
                   however to  readjustment,  as  hereinafter  provided,  or, if
                   unmetered,  on the  basis of a  current  bill  for each  such
                   utility.  The  reading  taken  subsequent  to, and as soon as
                   possible following, the Closing will then be apportioned on a
                   per diem  basis  from the  date of such  reading  immediately
                   prior thereto and Seller shall either pay the  undercharge to
                   Purchaser, or be reimbursed the overcharge by Purchaser based
                   upon a comparison of the readings  taken prior and subsequent
                   to the Closing;

                   (iv)all  amounts  payable  under  brokerage   agreements  and
                   Operating   Agreements,   pursuant   to  the  terms  of  this
                   Agreement; and

                   (v)any other operating  expenses or other items pertaining to
                   the  Property  which  are  customarily   prorated  between  a
                   purchaser and a seller in the county in which the Property is
                   located.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.4(a) hereof:

                   (i)At Closing,  (A) Seller shall, at Seller's option,  either
                   deliver to Purchaser any Security  Deposits  actually held by
                   Seller  pursuant  to the  Leases or credit to the  account of
                   Purchaser the amount of such Security Deposits (to the extent
                   such  Security   Deposits  have  not  been  applied   against
                   delinquent Rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and
                   (B)  Purchaser  shall  credit to the  account  of Seller  all
                   refundable   cash  or  other  deposits  posted  with  utility
                   companies  serving the Property  which Seller has assigned to
                   Purchaser,  or, at Seller's option,  Seller shall be entitled
                   to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits;

                   (ii)Any  taxes paid at or prior to Closing  shall be prorated
                   based  upon  the  amounts   actually   paid.   If  taxes  and
                   assessments  due and payable  during the year of Closing have
                   not been paid  before  Closing,  Seller  shall be  charged at
                   Closing  an amount  equal to that  portion  of such taxes and
                   assessments  which relates to the period  before  Closing and
                   Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments  prior to their
                   becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect
<PAGE>
                   to a tax year for which the tax rate or  assessed  valuation,
                   or both,  have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax
                   rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that
                   the actual taxes and  assessments for the current year differ
                   from the amount  apportioned  at Closing,  the parties  shall
                   make  all  necessary   adjustments  by  appropriate  payments
                   between themselves within thirty (30) days after such amounts
                   are determined  following Closing,  subject to the provisions
                   of Section 4.4(d) hereof;

                   (iii)Charges  referred to in Section  4.4(a) hereof which are
                   payable  by  any  tenant  to  a  third  party  shall  not  be
                   apportioned  hereunder,  and  Purchaser  shall  accept  title
                   subject to any of such  charges  unpaid and  Purchaser  shall
                   look  solely  to the  tenant  responsible  therefor  for  the
                   payment of the same;

                   (iv)As to utility charges referred to in Section  4.4(a)(iii)
                   hereof, Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or
                   more of all of said  items  accrued  to the date  hereinabove
                   fixed  for  apportionment  directly  to the  person or entity
                   entitled  thereto,  and to the extent Seller so elects,  such
                   item  shall  not  be  apportioned  hereunder,   and  Seller's
                   obligation  to pay such  item  directly  in such  case  shall
                   survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement;

                   (v)Purchaser  shall be responsible for the payment of (A) all
                   Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter  defined) and leasing
                   commissions  which become due and payable  (whether before or
                   after  Closing)  as a  result  of  any  new  Leases,  or  any
                   renewals, amendments or expansions of existing Leases, signed
                   during the Lease  Approval  Period (as  hereinafter  defined)
                   and, if required,  approved or deemed  approved in accordance
                   with Section 5.4 hereof;  and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs
                   and  leasing  commissions  with  respect  to new  Leases,  or
                   renewals, amendments or expansions of existing Leases, signed
                   or entered  into from and after the date of Closing;  and (C)
                   all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions listed on
                   Exhibit M attached hereto; and (D) building capital costs for
                   the  projects  listed on  Exhibit M for work to be  performed
                   during the period from and after the date of Closing.  If, as
                   of the date of  Closing,  Seller  shall  have paid any Tenant
                   Inducement  Costs,  leasing  commissions or building  capital
                   costs for which  Purchaser  is  responsible  pursuant  to the
                   foregoing   provisions,   Purchaser  shall  reimburse  Seller
                   therefor at Closing.  For purposes  hereof,  the term "Tenant
                   Inducement  Costs"  shall  mean  any  out-of-pocket  payments
                   required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord  thereunder
                   to or for the  benefit of the tenant  thereunder  which is in
                   the nature of a tenant  inducement,  including  specifically,
<PAGE>
                   without  limitation,  tenant  improvement costs, lease buyout
                   costs, and moving, design,  refurbishment and club membership
                   allowances.  The term  "Tenant  Inducement  Costs"  shall not
                   include loss of income resulting from any free rental period,
                   it being  agreed  that Seller  shall bear the loss  resulting
                   from any free  rental  period  until the date of Closing  and
                   that  Purchaser  shall bear such loss from and after the date
                   of Closing.  For purposes  hereof,  the term "Lease  Approval
                   Period" shall mean the period from the  Effective  Date until
                   the date of Closing;

                   (vi)  Unpaid  and  delinquent  Rent  collected  by Seller and
                   Purchaser  after the date of Closing  shall be  delivered  as
                   follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent
                   for the  Property,  Seller  shall,  within  fifteen (15) days
                   after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such Rent
                   which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date
                   of Closing and any period  thereafter,  and (b) if  Purchaser
                   collects  any unpaid or  delinquent  Rent from the  Property,
                   Purchaser  shall,  within fifteen (15) days after the receipt
                   thereof,  deliver  to Seller  any such Rent  which  Seller is
                   entitled to  hereunder  relating  to the period  prior to the
                   date of  Closing.  Seller  and  Purchaser  agree that (i) all
                   delinquent  Rent  received by Seller or Purchaser  within the
                   first ninety (90) day period after the date of Closing  shall
                   be applied (1) first to one month's  delinquent Rent, if any,
                   in the order of  maturity,  (2) then to one  month's  current
                   Rent, and (3) then to one month's  delinquent  Rent, and (ii)
                   all Rent  received  by  Seller or  Purchaser  after the first
                   ninety  (90) day period  after the date of  Closing  shall be
                   applied first to current Rent and then to delinquent Rent, if
                   any, in the inverse order of maturity.  Purchaser will make a
                   good faith effort  after  Closing to collect all Rents in the
                   usual course of  Purchaser's  operation of the Property,  but
                   Purchaser  will not be obligated to institute  any lawsuit or
                   other  collection  procedures  to collect  delinquent  Rents.
                   Seller  may  attempt  to collect  any  delinquent  Rents owed
                   Seller  and  may   institute   any   lawsuit  or   collection
                   procedures,  but may not evict any  tenant or  terminate  any
                   Lease.  In the event that  there  shall be any Rents or other
                   charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period
                   prior to Closing,  do not become due and payable  until after
                   Closing  or are paid  prior to  Closing  but are  subject  to
                   adjustment  after  Closing  (such  as year  end  common  area
                   expense  reimbursements  and the  like),  then  any  Rents or
                   charges of such type  received by  Purchaser or its agents or
                   Seller or its  agents  subsequent  to Closing  shall,  to the
                   extent  applicable to a period extending through the Closing,
                   be prorated  between  Seller and  Purchaser as of Closing and
                   Seller's portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to
<PAGE>
Seller by Purchaser.

               (c) Except as otherwise  provided herein,  any revenue or expense
amount  which  cannot be  ascertained  with  certainty  as of  Closing  shall be
prorated on the basis of the parties'  reasonable  estimates of such amount, and
shall be the subject of a final proration ninety (90) days after Closing,  or as
soon  thereafter  as the precise  amounts can be  ascertained.  Purchaser  shall
promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated  amount has
been  ascertained.  Once all revenue and expense amounts have been  ascertained,
Purchaser shall prepare,  and certify as correct,  a final  proration  statement
which  shall be subject to  Seller's  approval.  Upon  Seller's  acceptance  and
approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement
shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.

               (d) Subject to the final sentence of Section  4.4(C) hereof,  the
provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.

               Section 5.1  Representations  and  Warranties  of Seller.  Seller
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchaser as of the
Effective Date,  which  representations  and warranties  shall be deemed to have
been made again as of the Closing, subject to Section 4.2(f) hereof:

               (a) Organization and Authority. Seller is duly organized, validly
existing and qualified  and  empowered to conduct its  business.  Seller has the
full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to transfer all of the
Property  and  to  consummate  or  cause  to  be  consummated   the  transaction
contemplated by this  Agreement.  The person signing this Agreement on behalf of
Seller is  authorized  to do so.  Neither  the  execution  and  delivery of this
Agreement  nor its  performance  by Seller will  conflict  with or result in the
breach of any contract,  agreement, law, rule or regulation to which Seller is a
party or by which  Seller  is bound.  This  Agreement  is valid and  enforceable
against Seller in accordance  with its terms and each  instrument to be executed
by Seller  pursuant to this  Agreement  or in  connection  herewith  will,  when
executed and delivered,  be valid and  enforceable  against Seller in accordance
with its terms;

               (b)  Pending  Actions.  To  Seller's  knowledge,  Seller  has not
received written notice of any pending action,  suit,  arbitration,  unsatisfied
order  or  judgment,   government  investigation  or  proceeding  affecting  the
Property;

               (c) Operating  Agreements.  To Seller's knowledge,  the Operating
Agreements  listed  on  Exhibit  C are  all of  the  agreements  concerning  the
operation and  maintenance of the Property  entered into by Seller and affecting
the Property,  except those operating  agreements that are not assignable or are
to be terminated by Seller within thirty (30) days after the Closing, and except
any  agreement  with  Seller's  property  manager,  which shall be terminated by
Seller.  The  copies of the  Operating  Agreements  which will be  assigned  and
delivered to Purchaser by Seller will be true and complete  copies.  To Seller's
knowledge,  neither  party is in material  default under the terms of any of the
Operating Agreements;

               (d)  Lease  Brokerage.  To  Seller's  knowledge,   there  are  no
agreements with brokers  providing for the payment from and after the Closing by
Seller or  Seller's  successor-in-interest  of leasing  commissions  or fees for
procuring tenants with respect to the Property, except as disclosed in Exhibit N
hereto;

               (e)  Condemnation.  To  Seller's  knowledge,  neither  Seller nor
Seller's  property  manager has  received  any written  notice of any pending or
proposed condemnation proceedings relating to the Property;

               (f)  Litigation.  To Seller's  knowledge,  except as set forth on
Exhibit  O  attached  hereto,  and  except  proceedings  for the  collection  of
delinquent  rentals from tenants and proceedings  related to claims for personal
injury or damage to property due to events occurring at the Property, Seller has
not  received  written  notice of any  pending  litigation  which has been filed
against Seller that arises out of the ownership of the Property;
<PAGE>
               (g)  Violations.  To Seller's  knowledge,  except as set forth on
Exhibit P attached  hereto,  neither  Seller nor Seller's  property  manager has
received written notice of any uncured violation of any federal,  state or local
law (including without limitation  environmental  laws) from any governmental or
quasi-governmental  agency or  authority  relating to the  construction,  use or
operation of the Property;

               (h) Leases. To Seller's knowledge,  the rent roll attached hereto
as Exhibit Q is accurate in all material  respects,  and lists all of the leases
currently  affecting  the  Property.  The  copies of the  Leases  which  will be
assigned and delivered to Purchaser by Seller will be true and complete  copies.
To Seller's knowledge,  except as set forth on Exhibit Q, neither Seller nor any
tenant  under  its  Lease  is in  default  under  such  Lease,  and to  Seller's
knowledge, no event or condition exists which with the giving of notice, passage
of time or both will  constitute  such a default.  Seller has not  assigned  the
Leases to any other party. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a true and complete
copy of each Lease set forth on Exhibit Q. To Seller's knowledge,  except as set
forth on Exhibit Q, there are no other  agreements with any tenant regarding its
occupancy of any space in the Property.  The list of Security Deposits set forth
on Exhibit Q is a correct and complete list of all of the security deposits from
any tenant regarding its occupancy of any space in the Property;

               (i) Union Contracts;  Employees. To Seller's knowledge, there are
no union contracts or collective  bargaining  agreements  affecting the Property
which will be binding upon Purchaser subsequent to the Closing. There will be no
employees of Seller or its property  manager at the Property  after the Closing;
and

               (j) Environmental  Reports. To Seller's knowledge,  the copies of
the  environmental  reports listed on Exhibit D and which have been delivered to

               Section 5.2 Knowledge  Defined.  References to the "knowledge" of
Seller  shall  refer only to the  current  actual  knowledge  of the  Designated
Employees (as  hereinafter  defined) of Seller,  and shall not be construed,  by
imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Seller or any affiliate of
Seller,  to any  property  manager,  or to any other  officer,  agent,  manager,
representative  or employee of Seller or any affiliate thereof or to impose upon
such  Designated  Employees  any duty to  investigate  the  matter to which such
actual knowledge,  or the absence thereof,  pertains [except with respect to the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1(c),  5.1(e), 5.1(g) and
5.1(i) as to which such Designated Employees shall undertake due inquiry,  which
shall be deemed to mean only due inquiry of Seller's property manager].  As used
herein, the term "Designated Employees" shall refer to W. Mark Keeney and Robert
LoCascio.

               Section 5.3 Survival of Seller's  Representations and Warranties.
The  representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.1 hereof as
updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,  shall
survive  Closing for a period of two hundred  seventy (270) days. No claim for a
breach of any  representation  or  warranty  of Seller  shall be  actionable  or
payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state
of facts or other matter which was known to Purchaser  prior to Closing.  Seller
shall have no  liability  to  Purchaser  for a breach of any  representation  or
warranty  (a)  unless  the  valid  claims  for all  such  breaches  collectively
aggregate more than TWO HUNDRED  THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($200,000.00),  in
which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable,  up to the
<PAGE>
Cap (as defined in this Section),  and (b) unless  written  notice  containing a
description  of the  specific  nature of such  breach  shall  have been given by
Purchaser to Seller prior to the  expiration  of said two hundred  seventy (270)
day period and an action shall have been  commenced by Purchaser  against Seller
within three hundred sixty (360) days of Closing. Purchaser agrees to first seek
recovery  under any insurance  policies,  service  contracts and Leases prior to
seeking  recovery  from  Seller,  and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if
Purchaser's claim is satisfied from such insurance  policies,  service contracts
or Leases. As used herein,  the term "Cap" shall mean the total aggregate amount
of TWO MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00).

               Section 5.4  Covenants of Seller.  Seller hereby  covenants  with
Purchaser as follows:

               (a) From the  Effective  Date hereof until the Closing or earlier
termination of this  Agreement,  Seller shall maintain (or cause the maintenance
of) the Property in its present  condition,  ordinary wear and tear and casualty
excepted, and continue normal operations on the Property;

               (b)  Except as  provided  hereinbelow,  a copy of any  amendment,
renewal or  expansion  of an  existing  Lease or of any new Lease  which  Seller
wishes to execute  between the  Effective  Date and the date of Closing  will be
submitted to Purchaser prior to execution by Seller.  Purchaser agrees to notify
Seller in writing  within five (5)  business  days after its receipt  thereof of
either its approval or  disapproval  thereof,  including  all Tenant  Inducement
Costs and leasing  commissions  to be incurred in connection  therewith.  In the
event  Purchaser's  notice,  as  aforesaid,  is given on or prior to December 3,
1996,  and in such  notice  Purchaser  indicates  that it does not  approve  the
amendment,  renewal or expansion of the existing  Lease or the new Lease,  which
approval shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  Seller shall  nonetheless,  with
regard to the lease  transactions set forth on Exhibit M only, have the right to
execute such new Lease, amendment, renewal or expansion, as the case may be, and
Purchaser  shall  be  deemed  to have  approved  such  agreement.  In the  event
Purchaser's notice, as aforesaid, either (i) does not relate to any of the lease
transactions  set  forth on  Exhibit M and is given on or prior to  December  3,
1996,  or (ii) is given  after  December 3, 1996,  and in such notice  Purchaser
indicates  that it does not approve the  amendment,  renewal or expansion of the
existing  Lease or the new  Lease,  which  approval  shall  not be  unreasonably
withheld,  Seller shall may not execute such amendment,  renewal or expansion of
an existing Lease or such new Lease,  as the case may be. In the event Purchaser
fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval within the five
(5)  business  day period  set forth  above,  Purchaser  shall be deemed to have
approved such new Lease, amendment,  renewal or expansion. At Closing, Purchaser
shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant Inducement Costs,  leasing  commissions or
other  expenses,  including  legal  fees,  incurred  by  Seller  pursuant  to an
amendment,  a renewal, an expansion or a new Lease approved (or deemed approved)
by Purchaser;

               (c) Not cause or permit the Property, or any interest therein, to
be alienated,  encumbered  (other than by mechanic's or  materialman's  liens or
claims  which are  removed or bonded  against  prior to  Closing)  or  otherwise
transferred, mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated;

               (d)  Except  for  those  Operating   Agreements  which  Purchaser
notifies  Seller at the end of the  Inspection  Period should not be terminated,
Seller  will cause to be  terminated  or  cancelled  at or prior to Closing  any
Operating  Agreements  relating to the operation or maintenance of the Property,
including, without limitation, the management agreement for the Property;
<PAGE>
               (e) Not enter into any union  contracts or collective  bargaining
agreements  which will be binding upon  Purchaser or the Property  subsequent to
the Closing;

               (f)  Maintain  (or  cause  the   maintenance  of)  all  casualty,
liability and hazard insurance currently in force with respect to the Property;

               (g) From the  Effective  Date hereof until the Closing or earlier
termination  of this  Agreement,  Seller shall cause the work under the projects
listed on Exhibit M to be performed  and paid for. In the event that any of such
projects is not  completed  by the Closing,  Purchaser  shall assume the owner's
interest  under the agreement for any such project for the period from and after
the  date of  Closing.  Seller  shall  not  make  any  further  payments  to any
contractor  performing  the work  described  on  Exhibit M  without  Purchaser's
consent,  which  consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  Purchaser  shall
receive a credit  against the Purchase  Price at Closing equal to that listed on
page 2 of Exhibit M (Balance to Complete),  to the extent such payments have not
been made by Seller prior to Closing; and

               (h) From the  Effective  Date hereof until the Closing,  use good
faith efforts to complete a 5 year elevator  inspection for the elevators in the
Improvements.

               Section  5.5   Representations   and   Warranties  of  Purchaser.
Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Seller as
of the Effective Date, which  representations  and warranties shall be deemed to
have been made again as of the Closing, subject to Section 4.3(C) hereof:

               (a)  Organization  and  Authority.  Purchaser is duly  organized,
validly  existing and qualified  and empowered to conduct its business,  and has
full power and  authority  to enter into and fully  perform  and comply with the
terms of this Agreement.
Neither the execution  and delivery of this  Agreement  nor its  performance  by
Purchaser will conflict with or result in the breach of any contract, agreement,
law, rule or regulation to which  Purchaser is a party or by which  Purchaser is
bound.  This Agreement is valid and enforceable  against Purchaser in accordance
with its terms and each instrument to be executed by Purchaser  pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection herewith will, when executed and delivered,  be valid
and  enforceable  against  Purchaser in  accordance  with its terms.  The person
signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser is authorized to do so;

               (b)  Pending  Actions.  To  Purchaser's  knowledge,  there  is no
action,   suit,   arbitration,   unsatisfied   order  or  judgment,   government
investigation  or  proceeding  pending  against  Purchaser  which,  if adversely
determined, could individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

               (c)  ERISA.  As of the  Closing,  (1)  Purchaser  will  not be an
employee  benefit  plan as defined in Section  3(3) of the  Employee  Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended  ("ERISA"),  which is subject to Title I
of ERISA,  nor a plan as defined in Section  4975(e)(1) of the Internal  Revenue
Code of  1986,  as  amended  (each  of the  foregoing  hereinafter  referred  to
collectively as "Plan"), and (2) the assets of the Purchaser will not constitute
"plan  assets" of one or more such Plans  within the  meaning of  Department  of
Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3- 101.
<PAGE>
               As of the  Closing,  if  Purchaser  is a  "governmental  plan" as
defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA,  the closing of the sale of the Property will
not  constitute or result in a violation of state or local  statutes  regulating
investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans.

               As of the Closing, Purchaser will be acting on its own behalf and
not on account of or for the benefit of any Plan.

               Purchaser  has no present  intent to transfer the Property to any
entity, person or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA.

               Purchaser  shall not assign its interest  under this  contract of
sale to any entity, person, or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA.

               (d)  Source  of  Funds.  No  portion  of the  funds to be used to
purchase the Property  shall be derived from any source which might subject said
funds to civil or criminal forfeiture.

               Section  5.6   Survival  of   Purchaser's   Representations   and
Warranties. The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section
5.5  hereof as updated as of the  Closing in  accordance  with the terms of this
Agreement, shall survive Closing for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days.
Purchaser  shall have no liability to Seller for a breach of any  representation
or warranty  unless  written  notice  containing a  description  of the specific
nature of such breach shall have been given by Seller to Purchaser  prior to the
expiration of said two hundred seventy (270) day period and an action shall have
been commenced by Seller against Purchaser within three hundred sixty (360) days
of Closing.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                     DEFAULT

               Section  6.1 Default by  Purchaser.  In the event the sale of the
Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Purchaser's default
hereunder,  Seller  shall be  entitled,  as its sole and  exclusive  remedy,  to
terminate this  Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated  damages for the
breach of this  Agreement,  it being agreed  between the parties hereto that the
actual  damages  to  Seller  in the  event of such  breach  are  impractical  to
ascertain and the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof.

               Section  6.2  Default  by  Seller.  In the  event the sale of the
Property as contemplated  hereunder is not  consummated due to Seller's  default
hereunder,  or if Seller  shall breach any of its  representations,  warranties,
covenants or obligations under this Agreement,  Purchaser shall be entitled,  as
its  sole  remedy,  either  (a)  to  receive  the  return  of the  Deposit  plus
reimbursement  by  Seller  to  Purchaser  of  Purchaser's  actual  out-of-pocket
expenses in connection with any such default or breach, provided,  however, that
such  reimbursement  shall not in any event exceed the sum of $25,000.00,  which
return and  reimbursement  shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release
Seller  from  any  and  all  liability  hereunder,  or (b) to  enforce  specific
performance  of  Seller's  obligation  to convey the  Property to  Purchaser  in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that
the remedy of specific  performance  shall not be available to enforce any other
obligation of Seller  hereunder.  Purchaser  expressly waives its rights to seek
<PAGE>
damages in the event of Seller's default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected to terminate  this  Agreement  and receive back the Deposit and the
foregoing  expenses if  Purchaser  fails to file suit for  specific  performance
against Seller in a court having  jurisdiction  in the county and state in which
the Property is located,  on or before sixty (60) days  following  the date upon
which Closing was to have occurred.

               Section 6.3 Recoverable Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and
6.2 hereof,  in no event shall the  provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit the
damages  recoverable  by either  party  against the other party due to the other
party's obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with this Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  RISK OF LOSS

               Section 7.1 Minor  Damage.  In the event of loss or damage to the
Property or any portion thereof which is not "Major" (as  hereinafter  defined),
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided that Seller shall,
at Seller's option,  either (a) perform any necessary repairs,  or (b) assign to
Purchaser  all of Seller's  right,  title and  interest in and to any claims and
proceeds  Seller may have with  respect to any  casualty  insurance  policies or
condemnation  awards  relating to the  premises in  question.  In the event that
Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property,  Seller shall use reasonable
efforts to  complete  such  repairs  promptly  and the date of Closing  shall be
extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.
If Seller  elects to assign a casualty  claim to Purchaser,  the Purchase  Price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under
Seller's  insurance  policy  or the  cost  of  such  repairs  as  determined  in
accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect
to the Property  shall pass to Purchaser.  The risk of loss until the Closing is
retained by Seller,  but without any obligation or liability by Seller to repair
or restore the Property.

               Section  7.2 Major  Damage.  In the  event of a  "Major"  loss or
damage,  either  Seller or Purchaser  may  terminate  this  Agreement by written
notice to the other  party,  in which  event the  Deposit  shall be  returned to
Purchaser.  Seller may elect to terminate  this  Agreement by written  notice to
Purchaser given within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice
of the  occurrence  of such Major loss or damage  (which  notice shall state the
cost of repair or  restoration  thereof as opined by an architect in  accordance
with Section 7.3 hereof). Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement either
by (a) written notice to Seller of such  termination  given within ten (10) days
after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of such Major loss
or damage, or (b) failing to give Seller written notice during such ten (10) day
period.  In the event neither  Seller nor Purchaser so elects to terminate  this
Agreement,  then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed
with  Closing,  in which event  Seller  shall,  at Seller's  option,  either (a)
perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right,
title and  interest  in and to any  claims  and  proceeds  Seller  may have with
respect to any casualty  insurance  policies or condemnation  awards relating to
the premises in  question.  In the event that Seller  elects to perform  repairs
upon the Property,  Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs
promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to
<PAGE>
allow for the completion of such repairs.  If Seller elects to assign a casualty
claim to Purchaser,  (i) the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by an amount equal
to the lesser of the deductible  amount under Seller's  insurance  policy or the
cost of such repairs as determined in  accordance  with Section 7.3 hereof,  and
(ii) Seller shall execute,  acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing,
in  counterparts,  an  assignment,  expressly  made  without  representation  or
warranty by Seller and without recourse to Seller,  of Seller's  interest in any
insurance or condemnation proceeds which may be payable to Seller as a result of
such  casualty  or  taking,  subject,  however,  to  Seller's  right to  receive
reimbursement therefrom of any reasonable amounts paid or incurred by Seller for
or on  account  of  repairs  and/or  restoration  to the  Property  prior to the
Closing. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass
to Purchaser.

               Notwithstanding  anything  hereinbefore provided to the contrary,
in the case of a casualty, Seller shall, on or prior to the Closing, endeavor to
obtain a  written  acknowledgement  from its  insurance  carrier  in which  such
carrier agrees as to the amount of the insurance  proceeds and its obligation to
pay such  proceeds to Seller.  If, at the  Closing,  Seller is unable to provide
Purchaser  with such  acknowledgement,  Seller shall be  entitled,  upon written
notice  delivered  to  Purchaser  at or  prior  to the  Closing,  to  reasonable
adjournments  of the date of Closing one or more times,  for a period or periods
not to exceed,  in the aggregate,  fifteen (15) days, to enable Seller to obtain
such acknowledgement.  If Seller does not so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if
at the  adjourned  date Seller is still unable to provide such  acknowledgement,
then (a)  Purchaser  may, at its option,  terminate  this  Agreement  by written
notice to Seller, in which event the sole liability of Seller shall be to direct
Escrow Agent to refund the Deposit to Purchaser,  and to refund to Purchaser the
title  examination,  search and survey charges referred to in Section 2.2 above;
or (b) Purchaser may purchase the Property  without such  acknowledgement.  Upon
such  refund  being  made to  Purchaser  in  accordance  with  clause (a) of the
immediately  preceding sentence,  then this Agreement shall automatically become
void and of no  further  force or  effect,  and  neither  party  shall  have any
obligations  of any nature to the other  hereunder or by reason  hereof,  except
obligations which,  pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,  are expressly
stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. If Seller elects to adjourn
the Closing as provided  above,  this  Agreement  shall remain in effect for the
period or periods of adjournments, in accordance with its terms.

               Section 7.3 Definition of "Major" Loss or Damage. For purposes of
Sections 7.1 and 7.2,  "Major" loss or damage refers to the following:  (a) loss
or damage to the  Property  hereof such that the cost of  repairing or restoring
the premises in question to substantially the same condition which existed prior
to the event of damage  would be, in the  opinion of an  architect  selected  by
Seller and  reasonably  approved  by  Purchaser,  equal to or  greater  than ONE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED  THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS  ($1,500,000.00),  and (b) any
loss due to a condemnation  which permanently and materially impairs the current
use of the  Property.  If Purchaser  does not give  written  notice to Seller of
Purchaser's  reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days
after receipt of notice of the proposed architect,  Purchaser shall be deemed to
have approved the architect selected by Seller.

                                   COMMISSIONS

               Section  8.1   Brokerage   Commissions.   With   respect  to  the
transaction  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  Seller  represents that its sole
broker is Bender & Company,  Inc. ("Seller's Broker"),  and Purchaser represents
that it has no broker.  Each party  hereto  agrees that if any person or entity,
other than the  Seller's  Broker,  makes a claim for  brokerage  commissions  or
finder's  fees related to the sale of the Property by Seller to  Purchaser,  and
such claim is made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of said
party or its  representatives,  said party will protect,  indemnify,  defend and
hold the  other  party  free and  harmless  from and  against  any and all loss,
liability,  cost, damage and expense (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) in
connection therewith.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing or
any termination of this Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                             DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS

               Section 9.1 No Reliance on Documents.  Except as expressly stated
herein,  Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or
completeness  of any materials,  data or information  delivered by Seller or its
brokers or agents to Purchaser in connection with the  transaction  contemplated
hereby.  Purchaser  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  all  materials,   data  and
information  delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction
contemplated hereby are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and that any
reliance on or use of such materials,  data or information by Purchaser shall be
at the sole risk of  Purchaser,  except as otherwise  expressly  stated  herein.
Neither  Seller,  nor any  affiliate  of Seller,  nor the person or entity which
prepared any report or reports  delivered by Seller to Purchaser  shall have any
liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such reports.

               SECTION  9.2 AS-IS SALE;  DISCLAIMERS.  EXCEPT AS  EXPRESSLY  SET
FORTH IN THIS  AGREEMENT,  IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING
AND HAS NOT AT ANY TIME MADE ANY  WARRANTIES OR  REPRESENTATIONS  OF ANY KIND OR
CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY,  INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED   TO,   ANY   WARRANTIES   OR   REPRESENTATIONS   AS  TO   HABITABILITY,
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

               PURCHASER  ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT UPON CLOSING SELLER SHALL
SELL AND CONVEY TO  PURCHASER  AND  PURCHASER  SHALL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY "AS IS,
WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS", EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN
THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND SELLER IS NOT
LIABLE  FOR  OR  BOUND  BY,  ANY  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED  WARRANTIES,  GUARANTIES,
STATEMENTS,  REPRESENTATIONS  OR  INFORMATION  PERTAINING  TO  THE  PROPERTY  OR
RELATING THERETO (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY,  WITHOUT LIMITATION, OFFERING PACKAGES
DISTRIBUTED  WITH RESPECT TO THE  PROPERTY)  MADE OR  FURNISHED  BY SELLER,  THE
MANAGERS OF THE  PROPERTY,  OR ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR AGENT  REPRESENTING  OR
PURPORTING  TO  REPRESENT  SELLER,  TO  WHOMEVER  MADE  OR  GIVEN,  DIRECTLY  OR
INDIRECTLY,  ORALLY  OR IN  WRITING,  UNLESS  SPECIFICALLY  SET  FORTH  IN  THIS
AGREEMENT.  PURCHASER  ALSO  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT THE PURCHASE  PRICE REFLECTS AND
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD "AS-IS."
<PAGE>
               PURCHASER  REPRESENTS TO SELLER THAT PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED,  OR
WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING,  SUCH  INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY,  INCLUDING
BUT NOT  LIMITED TO, THE  PHYSICAL  AND  ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITIONS  THEREOF,  AS
PURCHASER  DEEMS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE CONDITION OF
THE PROPERTY AND THE EXISTENCE OR  NONEXISTENCE  OR CURATIVE  ACTION TO BE TAKEN
WITH RESPECT TO ANY  HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC  SUBSTANCES  ON OR  DISCHARGED  FROM THE
PROPERTY,  AND WILL RELY SOLELY UPON SAME AND NOT UPON ANY INFORMATION  PROVIDED
BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO, OTHER
THAN SUCH  REPRESENTATIONS,  WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AS ARE EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. UPON CLOSING,  PURCHASER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT
ADVERSE MATTERS,  INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND ADVERSE
PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY PURCHASER'S
INVESTIGATIONS,  AND  PURCHASER,  UPON CLOSING,  SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED,
RELINQUISHED   AND   RELEASED   SELLER  (AND   SELLER'S   OFFICERS,   DIRECTORS,
SHAREHOLDERS,  EMPLOYEES  AND  AGENTS)  FROM  AND  AGAINST  ANY AND ALL  CLAIMS,
DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT), LOSSES, DAMAGES,
LIABILITIES,  COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING  REASONABLE  ATTORNEYS' FEES) OF ANY

ASSERTED  OR  ALLEGED   AGAINST  SELLER  (AND  SELLER'S   OFFICERS,   DIRECTORS,
SHAREHOLDERS,  EMPLOYEES  AND AGENTS) AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF
ANY LATENT OR PATENT CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS,  VIOLATIONS OF
ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ACTS, OMISSIONS, EVENTS, CIRCUMSTANCES
OR MATTERS REGARDING THE PROPERTY.

               Section  9.3  Survival of  Disclaimers.  The  provisions  of this
Article IX shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

               Section 10.1  Confidentiality.  Purchaser and its representatives
shall  hold in  strictest  confidence  all data and  information  obtained  with
respect  to  Seller  or its  business,  whether  obtained  before  or after  the
execution  and  delivery of this  Agreement,  and shall not disclose the same to
others;  provided,  however, that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may
disclose  such data and  information  to the  employees,  lenders,  consultants,
accountants and attorneys of Purchaser provided that such persons agree to treat
such data and information  confidentially in accordance with that certain access
agreement dated November 8, 1996 between Seller and Purchaser. In the event this
Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall
promptly  return to Seller any  statements,  documents,  schedules,  exhibits or

or the transaction  contemplated  herein. It is understood and agreed that, with
respect to any provision of this  Agreement  which refers to the  termination of

not be  returned to  Purchaser  unless and until  Purchaser  has  fulfilled  its
obligation  to  return  to  Seller  the  materials  described  in the  preceding
sentence.  In the event of a breach or  threatened  breach by  Purchaser  or its
agents or  representatives  of this Section 10.1, Seller shall be entitled to an
injunction   restraining   Purchaser  or  its  agents  or  representatives  from
disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential  information.  Nothing herein
shall be  construed as  prohibiting  Seller from  pursuing  any other  available
remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened  breach. The provisions
of this Section 10.1 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
               Section 10.2 Public  Disclosure.  Prior to and after the Closing,
any release to the public of information  with respect to the sale  contemplated
herein or any matters set forth in this  Agreement will be made only in the form
approved by  Purchaser  and Seller.  The  provisions  of this Section 10.2 shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

               Section 10.3 Assignment.

               (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3, the terms and
provisions of this  Agreement are to apply to and bind the permitted  successors
and assigns of the parties  hereto.  Purchaser  may not assign its rights  under
this Agreement without first obtaining Seller's written approval, which approval
may be given or withheld in Seller's  sole  discretion.  In the event  Purchaser
intends to assign its rights hereunder,  (i) Purchaser shall send Seller written
notice of its request at least five (5)  business  days prior to Closing,  which
request shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee,  as
well as any other  information  that  Seller may  reasonably  request,  and (ii)
Purchaser and the proposed  assignee  shall execute an assignment and assumption
of this Agreement in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to Seller, and
(iii) in no event shall any  assignment of this  Agreement  release or discharge
Purchaser  from any  liability  or  obligation  hereunder.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this
Agreement to any person or entity  owned or  controlled  by an employee  benefit
plan if Seller's  sale of the  Property to such person or entity  would,  in the
reasonable  opinion of  Seller's  ERISA  advisor,  create or  otherwise  cause a
"prohibited transaction" under ERISA. The sale or other transfer of any interest
in  Purchaser,  including,  but not limited to (i) in the event  Purchaser  is a
corporation,  a sale or transfer of the capital stock of Purchaser  which is not
publicly  traded or the  issuance  by  Purchaser  of  additional  shares of such
capital stock, except to shareholders of record of capital stock of Purchaser on
the Effective Date, or (ii) in the event Purchaser is a partnership, the sale or
transfer of any general  partnership  interest in Purchaser,  shall be deemed an
assignment or a transfer of Purchaser's interest, or a part thereof,  under this
Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.

               (b)  Notwithstanding   anything  to  the  contrary   hereinbefore
contained in this Agreement,  Purchaser shall have the right,  without  Seller's
prior  written  consent,  to  assign  or  transfer  any of  Purchaser's  rights,
obligations  and  interests  under  this  Agreement  prior to the  Closing to an
Affiliate (as hereinafter defined),  but no such assignment or transfer shall be
deemed a release of Purchaser from its  liabilities  or  obligations  under this
Agreement  and such  assignment  or transfer  shall not be permitted if it shall
cause a violation of ERISA.  For the purposes of this Section 10.3, an Affiliate
shall  mean any  corporation  which,  directly  or  indirectly,  controls  or is
controlled  by, or is under common  control with  Purchaser,  Cali Realty,  L.P.
and/or Cali Realty Corporation.  For the purposes of this definition,  "control"
(including  "controlling",  "controlled  by" and "under common control with") as
used  with  respect  to  any  corporation  means  the  possession,  directly  or
indirectly,  of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of such corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities
or by contract or otherwise.  Purchaser shall, in connection with any assignment
or transfer permitted under this Section 10.3(b),  provide Seller with a copy of
any  documentation  evidencing  such  assignment  or  transfer at least five (5)
business days prior to the Closing.
<PAGE>
               (c)  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary set forth in this
Agreement,  Purchaser  shall be liable to pay,  and  agrees to pay in full at or
prior to Closing,  the  transfer  tax (if any) and any other  applicable  tax or
assessment,  which is or may be due on (i) any transfer of Purchaser's  interest
in this  Agreement  with  respect to which Seller has  provided  Seller's  prior
written consent  (however,  Seller has no obligation to provide Seller's written
consent with respect to any such transfer), (ii) any sale or transfer of capital
stock of Purchaser which is publicly traded, or any issuance of capital stock of
Purchaser,  regardless  of whether  such sale,  transfer  or issuance is made to
shareholders of record of capital stock of Purchaser on the Contract Date, (iii)
any sale or transfer of any  partnership  interests in  Purchaser,  and (iv) any
transfer  of  Purchaser's  interest  in  this  Agreement  to an  Affiliate,  and
Purchaser  and any such  assignee  and  transferee  (if any) shall  jointly  and
severally  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Seller  and  Seller's  successors  and
assigns, from and against any and all claims,  damages,  losses, costs, expenses
and   liabilities,   including,   without   limitation,   attorneys'   fees  and
disbursements, arising out of Purchaser's failure to comply with its obligations
under this Section 10(c).

               Section 10.4 Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall
be given in writing by (a) personal delivery,  (b) reputable  overnight delivery
service  with  proof of  delivery,  (c) United  States  Mail,  postage  prepaid,
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile
transmission,  sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or
to such other  address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee

provided  that an  original  of such  facsimile  is  also  sent to the  intended
addressee by means described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above. Unless changed in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notices given pursuant

               Section  10.5  Modifications.  This  Agreement  cannot be changed
orally, and no executory agreement shall be effective to waive,  change,  modify

change, modification or discharge is sought.

               Section 10.6 Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement,  including  the
exhibits and schedules hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties
hereto  pertaining to the subject  matter hereof and fully  supersedes all prior

Purchaser in connection with the Property.

               Section 10.7 Further  Assurances.  Each party agrees that it will
execute and deliver such other  documents  and take such other  action,  whether

               Section  10.9  Facsimile  Signatures.  In order to  expedite  the

of  Directors  of  Purchaser  shall have  approved  the sale of the  Property to
Purchaser,  pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  on or prior

time at the  Property)  on  December  3, 1996 that its  Board of  Directors  has
approved  the sale of the Property to  Purchaser  pursuant to the terms  hereof,
then this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations  hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either
party  pursuant to the other  provisions  of this  Agreement),  the Deposit,  or
portion  thereof  previously  deposited with Escrow Agent,  shall be returned to
