ITEM 5, OTHER EVENTS
 
    During the period May 8, 1997 through September 15, 1997, Cali Realty
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") (i) acquired four office buildings
in a suburban office complex, (ii) acquired two office buildings in a suburban
office complex, (iii) acquired an individual office property, (iv) acquired an
office/ flex property and (v) acquired another individual office property
through five individual transactions with separate, unrelated sellers (to be
collectively referred to as the "Acquisitions"). The Acquisitions, together with
the Company's acquisition of a 76,300 square-foot office/flex property ("1345
Campus Parkway") on January 28, 1997 and of 65 properties from the Robert Martin
Company LLC and affiliates ("RM") on January 31, 1997 in the "RM Transaction",
are to be collectively referred to as the "1997 Events." The following is a
brief description of the Acquisitions:
 
    On May 8, 1997, the Company acquired four buildings in the Westlakes Office
Park ("Westlakes"), a suburban office complex located in Berwyn, Chester County,
Pennsylvania, totaling 444,350 square feet. The properties were acquired for
approximately $74.7 million, which was made available primarily from drawing on
one of the Company's credit facilities.
 
    On July 21, 1997, the Company acquired two office buildings in the
Moorestown Corporate Center ("Moorestown Buildings"), a suburban office complex
located in Moorestown, Burlington County, New Jersey. The properties, each
consisting of 74,000 square feet, were acquired for an aggregate price of
approximately $10.2 million, which was made available from drawing on one of the
Company's credit facilities.
 
    On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired 1000 Bridgeport Avenue ("Shelton
Place"), a 133,000 square-foot office building located in Shelton, Fairfield
County, Connecticut. The property was acquired for approximately $15.5 million,
which was made available from drawing on one of the Company's credit facilities.
 
    On August 15, 1997, the Company acquired 200 Corporate Boulevard South ("200
Corporate"), an 84,000 square-foot office/flex building located in Yonkers,
Westchester County, New York. The property was acquired for approximately $8.0
million through the exercise of a purchase option obtained in connection with
the January 1997 RM Transaction. The acquisition cost, net of the mortgage
prepayment described below, was financed from the Company's cash reserves.
 
    In conjunction with the acquisition of 200 Corporate, the sellers of the
property, certain RM principals, prepaid $4.4 million of the $11.6 million
mortgage note receivable ("RM Mortgage Note Receivable") between the Company and
such RM principals.
 
    On September 3, 1997, the Company acquired Three Independence Way ("Three
Independence"), a 111,300 square foot suburban office property located in
Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, for approximately $13.2 million. The funds
were made available from drawing on one of the Company's credit facilities.
 
    Further information regarding the Acquisitions is attached on SCHEDULE A.
 
    Each of the Acquisitions was 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 for the
properties include 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 takes into consideration
capitalization rates at which it believes other comparable office buildings had
recently sold, but determined the price it is willing to pay primarily on the
factors discussed above relating to the
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
properties themselves and their fit with the Company's operations. No separate
independent appraisals were obtained in connection with the acquisition of
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.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cali Realty Corporation
Cranford, New Jersey
 
    We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
for the property known as Westlakes Office Park for the year ended December 31,
1996. 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
Westlakes Office Park's revenues and expenses.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses for Westlakes Office
Park, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cali Realty Corporation
Cranford, New Jersey
 
    We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
for the property known as First Shelton Place for the year ended April 30, 1997.
The 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 First
Shelton Place revenues and expenses.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses for First Shelton
Place, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended April 30, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cali Realty Corporation
Cranford, New Jersey
 
    We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
for the property known as Three Independence Way, for the year ended December
31, 1996. The 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 Three
Independence Way's revenues and expenses.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses for Three
Independence Way, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended December
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
 
                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION OF PROPERTY
 
    For the purpose of the accompanying statement of revenue and certain
expenses, Three Independence Way (the "Property") is an office building located
in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey which was acquired by a subsidiary of
Cali Realty Corporation, (the "Company").
 
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 Property, have been excluded. Revenues
excluded consist of interest and other revenues 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 conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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 those estimates.
 
    C. REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
respective lease.
 
3. LEASES
 
    Leases for the Property have various remaining lease terms of up to five
years with options to certain tenants for renewal. Minimum rental amounts for
certain leases increase as set forth under the terms of each lease. In addition
to base rents, the leases provide for the tenants to pay a portion of real
estate taxes and operating expenses in excess of base year amounts.

         (b)  Contract Vendee shall not modify, terminate, amend, cancel, 
surrender or, with the exception of this Agreement, make any agreement 
affecting the Sale Agreement without first obtaining Assignee's prior written 
consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         (c)  Contract Vendee shall not grant any consents or approvals with 
respect to the Property and shall not enter into or cause to be entered into 
any agreements, leases, tenancies, licenses or contracts with respect to the 
Property without first obtaining Assignee's prior written consent, which will 
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         (d)  Contract Vendee shall use its best efforts to cause Seller (i) 
to operate and maintain the Property in the ordinary course of business and 
use reasonable efforts to reasonably preserve for Assignee the relationships

to the Assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Assignee, 
and cause Seller to prepare and execute all documents, items and instruments 
required to be delivered at Closing under the Sale Agreement in the name and

Property in its own name and immediately thereafter convey title to the 
Property to Assignee upon, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth

Seller's deed and other closing documents by AEW Real Estate Advisors, 
Limited Partnership, on Seller's behalf.

11 hereof], Assignee's sole liability and Contract Vendee's sole recourse 
shall be limited to the amount of Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000) Dollars. 
Contract Vendee agrees that retention of said sum constitutes fixed and 
liquidated damages resulting from Assignee's default, and Contract Vendee 
waives any other claim, at law or in equity, either against Assignee or 
against any person, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed.

         (b)  If, after complying with the terms of this Agreement, Contract

    days after the Effective Date) relating to the upkeep, repair, maintenance
    or operation of the Land, Improvements or Personal Property, to the extent

                                      3

    assignable, except those Operating Agreements which Purchaser notifies
    Seller to terminate by notice given to Seller by not later than 5:00 p.m
    (local time at the Property) on the next business day after the expiration
    of the Inspection Period, which shall be terminated by Seller as of the
    date of the Closing or as soon thereafter as is permitted by the Operating
    Agreement in question; (ii) all assignable existing warranties and
    guaranties (express or implied) issued to Seller in connection with the
    Improvements or the Personal Property; (iii) all assignable existing
    permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations issued by any governmental
    authority in connection with the Property; and (iv) the non-exclusive right
    to the name "224-228 Strawbridge Drive" (the property described in this
    clause (d) being sometimes herein referred to collectively as the
    "Intangibles"). 

    Section 1.2  Property Defined.  The Land and the Improvements are 
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the "Real Property."  The 
Land, the Improvements, the Personal Property and the Intangibles are 
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the "Property."  

    Section 1.3  Purchase Price.  Seller is to sell and Purchaser is to 
purchase the Property for the amount of NINE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY 
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($9,450,000.00) (the "Purchase Price").

    Section 1.4  Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price, as increased 
or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be 
payable in full at the Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately 
available funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to 
Purchaser prior to the Closing.

    Section 1.5  Deposit.  Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of 
this Agreement, Purchaser is depositing with MATZ LAND TRANSFER of 999 West 
Chester Pike, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380 ("Escrow Agent") the sum of 
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) (the "Deposit") in good funds, 
either by certified bank or cashier's check or by federal wire transfer.  
Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account reasonably 
acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, in accordance with the terms and 
conditions of this Agreement.  All interest on such sum 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 Deposit hereunder 
shall be a material default, and shall entitle Seller, at Seller's sole 
option, to terminate this Agreement immediately.

    Section 1.6  Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the 
Deposit and any accrued interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this 
Agreement.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the duties of Escrow Agent 
hereunder are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to 

                                      4

<PAGE>

the safekeeping and disposition of the Deposit and any accrued interest 
thereon in accordance with this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall incur no 
liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit 
and any accrued interest thereon for any reason other than Escrow Agent's 
willful misconduct or gross negligence.  In the event that Escrow Agent shall 
be in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Deposit and 
any accrued interest thereon, or in the event that Escrow Agent receives 
conflicting instructions from Purchaser and Seller with respect to the 
Deposit and any accrued interest thereon, Escrow Agent shall not be required 
to disburse the Deposit or any accrued interest thereon and may, at its 
option, continue to hold the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon 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 and any accrued 
interest thereon 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 or any accrued interest thereon 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.

                                   TITLE AND SURVEY
                                           
    Section 2.1  Title Inspection Period.  During the period beginning upon 
the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on 
the fifteenth (15th) day thereafter (hereinafter referred to as the "Title 
Inspection Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to review (a) a current 
preliminary title report on the Real Property, accompanied by copies of all 
documents referred to in the report, which shall be obtained by Purchaser 
promptly after the Effective Date; (b) copies of the most recent property tax 
bills for the Property, which shall be provided by Seller within three (3) 
business days after the Effective Date; (c) a survey of the Real Property 
prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer hired by Purchaser (the 
"Survey"); and (d) copies of Seller's existing title insurance policy and 
survey for the Real Property, which shall be provided by Seller within three 
(3) business days after the Effective Date.  Purchaser shall provide Seller 
with copies of the items described in clauses (a) and (c) above promptly upon 
Purchaser's receipt thereof.

    Section 2.2  Title Examination.  Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing 
(the "Title Notice"), by not later than 5:00 p.m. (local time at the 
Property) on the next business day after the expiration of the Title 
Inspection Period, which exceptions to title (including survey matters), if 
any, will not be accepted by Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller 
in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title by the time 

                                      5

<PAGE>

specified in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have 
approved the condition of title to the Real Property.  If Purchaser notifies 
Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title, Seller 
shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Title Notice to notify 
Purchaser (a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions 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 such exceptions to 
be removed.  The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of 
the Title Policy (as defined in Section 2.5 hereof) or an endorsement thereto 
insuring Purchaser against any title exception 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 
three (3) business days in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will 
nevertheless proceed with the purchase and take title to the Property subject 
to such exceptions, or that Purchaser will terminate this Agreement.  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 and any accrued interest 
thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and each party shall bear its own 
costs incurred hereunder.  If Purchaser shall fail to notify Seller of its 
election within said three (3) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed 
to have elected to proceed with the purchase and take title to the Property 
subject to such exceptions.

    Section 2.3  Pre-Closing "Gap" Defects.  Purchaser may, at or prior to 
the Closing, notify Seller in writing (the "Gap Notice") (a) of any 
objections to title that are raised by the Title Company between the 
expiration of the Title Inspection Period and the Closing and that are not 
disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser prior to the 
expiration of the Title Inspection Period, and (b) of any defects in Seller's 
ability to convey title to the Personal Property free and clear of liens and 
encumbrances, as revealed by a UCC search performed by Purchaser prior to the 
Closing; provided in each case that Purchaser must notify Seller of such 
objection to title or of such defect within two (2) business days of being 
made aware of the existence of the same. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to 
Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with 
respect to such notice as apply to a Title Notice under Section 2.2 hereof.

    Section 2.4  Permitted Exceptions.  The Property shall be conveyed 
subject to the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the 
"Permitted Exceptions":

         (a)  those matters which are not objected to in writing within the
    time periods provided in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 hereof or which, if objected
    to in writing by Purchaser, are those which Seller has elected not to
    remove or cure 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;

         (b)  the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not

                                      6

<PAGE>

    yet due and payable as of the date of the Closing, subject to adjustment as
    herein provided;

         (c)  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 

         (d)  items shown on the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser or
    waived or deemed waived by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

    Section 2.5  Conveyance of Title.  At the Closing, Seller shall convey 
and transfer to Purchaser fee simple title to the Land and Improvements, by 
execution and delivery of the Deed (as defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof). 
Evidence of delivery of such title shall be the issuance by First American 
Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company"), or another national title 
company, of an 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.

                                  REVIEW OF PROPERTY
                                           
    Section 3.1  Right of Inspection.  During the period beginning upon the 
Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the 
fifteenth (15th) day thereafter (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection 
Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to make an inspection of the 
environmental condition of the Property, pursuant to the terms and conditions 
of this Agreement.

    Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site environmental 
inspections of the Property shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by 
Seller and Purchaser after reasonable prior written notice to Seller and 
shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the 
Property by Seller. Seller reserves the right to have a representative 
present during any such inspections.  If Purchaser desires to do any invasive 
environmental tests at the Property, Purchaser shall do so only after 
notifying Seller and obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, which 
consent may be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by Seller in its 
sole discretion, including without limitation the prompt restoration of the 
Property to its condition prior to any such tests, at Purchaser's sole cost 
and expense.  At Seller's option, Purchaser will furnish to Seller copies of 
any reports received by Purchaser relating to any environmental inspections 
performed by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and 
hold Seller harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, 
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages or injuries 
arising out of or resulting from any such inspections by Purchaser or its 
agents or consultants, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 
Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall 

                                       7

survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.  

    Section 3.2  Environmental Reports.  SELLER SHALL PROVIDE PURCHASER WITH 
COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT D ATTACHED HERETO 
WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE.  IF SELLER ELECTS TO 
SECURE ANY UPDATED OR ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, 
SELLER SHALL PROVIDE PURCHASER WITH COPIES OF ALL SUCH REPORTS PROMPTLY UPON 
SELLER'S RECEIPT THEREOF.  PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY ENVIRONMENTAL 
REPORTS DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS 
TO PURCHASER ARE 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 HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE 
INSPECTION PERIOD, ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF 
THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT PURCHASER DEEMS SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE 
NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.  

    Section 3.3  Right of Termination.  If Purchaser determines that the 
Property or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Purchaser's acquisition 
solely for reasons disclosed by Purchaser's environmental inspection of the 
Real Property pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, Purchaser shall have the right 
to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior 
to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and if Purchaser gives such 
notice of termination by not later than 5:00 p.m. (local time at the 
Property) on the next business day after expiration of the Inspection Period, 
this Agreement shall terminate.  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 and any accrued interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and 
each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder.  If Purchaser fails 
to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the 
Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all aspects of 
the Property (except title and survey, which shall be governed by Article II 
hereof) and to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property 
pursuant to the terms hereof.  

                                      ARTICLE IV
                                        CLOSING

     Section 4.1  Time and Place.  The consummation of the transaction 
contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices 

                                       8

<PAGE>

of Escrow Agent on June 13, 1997.  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.  The Closing 
shall be consummated through an escrow administered by Escrow Agent and the 
Purchase Price and all documents shall be deposited with Escrow Agent as 
escrowee.

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

         (a)  deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Bargain and Sale Deed (the
    "Deed") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, conveying the Land and
    Improvements, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; the warranty of
    title in the Deed will be only as to claims made by, through or under
    Seller and not otherwise;

         (b)  deliver to Purchaser a duly executed bill of sale (the "Bill of
    Sale") conveying the Personal Property, with warranty of title as to claims
    made by, through or under Seller and not otherwise, but without warranty,
    express or implied, as to use, merchantability or fitness for any purpose,
    in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F;

         (c)  to the extent assignable, assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser
    shall assume, Seller's interest in the Operating Agreements, other than
    those to be terminated pursuant to Section 1.1(d), and the other
    Intangibles by duly executed assignment and assumption agreement (the
    "Assignment and Assumption of Intangibles") in the form attached hereto as
    Exhibit G pursuant to which (i) Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and hold
    Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims pertaining thereto
    arising prior to the 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;

         (d)  in the event that any representation or warranty of Seller set
    forth herein needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date,
    deliver to Purchaser a certificate, dated as of the date of the 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 date of the Closing and (ii) is expressly permitted
    under the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control of
    Seller to prevent; provided, however, that the occurrence of a change which
    is not permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to
    prevent shall, if adverse to Purchaser, constitute the non-fulfillment of

                                       9

<PAGE>

    the condition set forth in Section 4.6(b) hereof; 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;

         (e)  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;

         (f)  deliver to Purchaser a certificate in the form attached hereto as
    Exhibit H 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;

         (g)  deliver to Purchaser the Operating Agreements assigned to
    Purchaser, together with the property files and records located at the
    Property or the property manager's office relating to the continued
    operation and maintenance 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 except budgets and
    accounting records relating solely to the operation and maintenance of the
    Property.  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; 

         (h)  deliver such affidavits as may be customarily and reasonably
    required by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller,
    to the effect that there are no parties in possession and that no work has
    been performed or materials or services provided that have not been fully
    paid for and that could give rise to the filing of a mechanics' lien;

         (i)  deliver to Purchaser a letter (the "Non-Applicability Letter")
    from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy or
    its successor, stating that the provisions of the Industrial Site Recovery
    Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq., the regulations promulgated thereunder, and
    any successor legislation and regulations, are inapplicable to the
    Property.  Seller shall apply for the Non-Applicability Letter promptly
    after the Effective Date and diligently pursue the same.  In the event
    Seller is unable to deliver the Non-Applicability Letter at the Closing,
    Seller may extend the Closing for such period as shall be required to
    secure the same, but not beyond thirty (30) days.  In no event shall Seller
    be liable to Purchaser for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by
    reason of, Seller's failure to secure the Non-Applicability Letter if such
    failure is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to prevent; provided,

                                     10

<PAGE>

    however, that such failure shall constitute the non-fulfillment of the
    condition set forth in Section 4.6(b) hereof;

         (j)  deliver to Purchaser possession and occupancy of the Property,
    subject to the Permitted Exceptions; 

         (k)  execute a closing statement acceptable to Seller; and

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

    Section 4.3  Purchaser's Obligations at the Closing.  At the Closing,
Purchaser shall:

         (a)  pay to Seller the full amount of the Purchase Price (which shall
    be adjusted to credit Purchaser with the amount of the Deposit and any
    accrued interest thereon), 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 and Assumption of
    Intangibles;

         (c)  in the event that any representation or warranty of Purchaser set
    forth herein needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date,
    deliver to Seller a certificate, dated as of the date of the 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 which results from any change that (i) occurs
    between the Effective Date and the date of the 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 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

                                     11

<PAGE>

    documents on behalf of Purchaser; 

         (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

         (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 the Closing as if Purchaser were vested with
    title to the Property during the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. 
    Such prorated items shall include without limitation the following:

         (i)   taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the
               Personal Property) levied against the Property;

         (ii)  utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges
               to be apportioned at the Closing on the basis of the most recent
               meter reading occurring prior to the Closing (dated not more than
               fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing) or, if unmetered, on the
               basis of a current bill for each such utility; 

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

         (iv) 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 the Closing Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain all
              refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies
              serving the Property;

         (ii) Any taxes paid at or prior to the Closing shall be prorated based
              upon the amounts actually paid.  If taxes and assessments due and
              payable during the year of the Closing have not been paid before
              the Closing, Seller shall be charged at the Closing an amount

                                     12

<PAGE>

               equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates
               to the period before the Closing and Purchaser shall pay the
               taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent.  Any
               such apportionment made with respect 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 the
               Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by
               appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days
               after such amounts are determined following the Closing, subject
               to the provisions of Section 4.4(d) hereof;

         (iii) As to utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(ii) hereof,  
               Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of

               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;

         (c)  Seller may continue to prosecute any appeal of the real property
    tax assessment for prior tax periods pending as of the Effective Date, and
    may take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection
    therewith.  Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with such
    appeal and collection of a refund of real property taxes paid.  Seller owns
    and holds all right, title and interest in and to such appeal and refund,
    and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall be paid directly to
    Seller by the applicable authorities.  If such refund or any part thereof
    is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount to
    Seller.  Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows: 
    first, to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the
    appeal and second, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period
    prior to the Closing, and to Purchaser to the extent such appeal covers the
    period as of the Closing and thereafter.  If and to the extent any such
    appeal covers the period after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right
    to participate in such appeal.

         (d)  Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense
    amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing shall
    be prorated on the basis of the parties' reasonable estimates of such
    amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration sixty (60) days after
    the 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

                                     13

    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.

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 the Closing. Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for a breach of 
any representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all such

shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of said 
one hundred eighty (180) day period and an action shall have been commenced 
by Purchaser against Seller within two hundred forty (240) days of the

policies and service contracts prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and 
Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if Purchaser's claim is satisfied 
from such insurance policies or service contracts.  As used herein, the term 
"Cap" shall mean the total aggregate amount of Four Hundred Seventy-Two 
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($472,500.00), being five percent (5%) of the 
Purchase Price.

         (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 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.

              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.

    not on account of or for the benefit of any Plan.

                                     18

representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 5.5 hereof

claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser 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 Seller prior to 
the Closing. Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for a breach of any 
representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all such breaches 
collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), in 
which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, up to 
the 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 Seller to Purchaser prior to the expiration of said one hundred 
eighty (180) day period and an action shall have been commenced by Seller 
against Purchaser within two hundred forty (240) days of the Closing.  Seller 
agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance policies and service 
contracts prior to seeking recovery from Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not

policies or service contracts.  As used herein, the term "Cap" shall mean the

as contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated due to Purchaser's 
default hereunder, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate 
this Agreement and receive the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon 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 and any 
accrued interest thereon is a reasonable estimate thereof.

    Section 6.2  Default by Seller.  In the event the sale of the Property as 
contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated due to Seller's default 
hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to 
receive the return of the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon, in which 
event Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the costs, not to exceed Fifty 
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) of legal, title, survey, environmental 
engineering and architectural services actually incurred by Purchaser in

<PAGE>


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 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 any accrued interest thereon 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 thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have 
occurred.

    Section 6.3  Recoverable Damages.  Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2

                                     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 the 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.  In addition to the foregoing, if Seller elects to assign a 
casualty claim to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to enter upon the 
Property to make such repairs as may be necessary to stabilize the 
Improvements against further damage and to secure the Improvements against 
vandalism and the like, provided that in such event Purchaser hereby agrees 
to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any 
claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable 
attorneys' fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from any 
repairs performed by Purchaser or its agents, and notwithstanding anything to 
the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold 
harmless Seller shall survive the Closing or any termination of this 
Agreement.  Upon the Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property 
shall pass to Purchaser.  

    Section 7.2  Major Damage.  In the event of a "Major" loss or damage,

                                     20

<PAGE>


Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which
event the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon shall be returned to
Purchaser.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement 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), then
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the 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
the 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.  In addition to the
foregoing, if Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, Purchaser
shall have the right to enter upon the Property to make such repairs as may be
necessary to stabilize the Improvements against further damage and to secure the
Improvements against vandalism and the like, provided that in such event
Purchaser hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless
from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting
from any repairs performed by Purchaser or its agents, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and
hold harmless Seller shall survive the Closing or any termination of this
Agreement.  Upon the Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property
shall pass to Purchaser. 

    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 Four Hundred Seventy-two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($472,500.00), 
being five percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, 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.

Cushman & Wakefield ("Broker"), and Purchaser represents that it has not 
engaged any broker.  Each party hereto agrees that if any person or entity 
other than 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 the Closing or any 
termination of this Agreement.

    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 in 
writing to treat such data and information confidentially.  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 other written information obtained from Seller in connection with 
this Agreement or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  It is 
understood and agreed that, with respect to any provision of this Agreement 
which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return of the 
Deposit and any accrued interest thereon to Purchaser, such Deposit and 
accrued interest shall 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 the 
Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

    Section 10.2  Public Disclosure.  Prior to the Closing, any release to 
the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated by this 
Agreement 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.  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, (a) Purchaser
shall send Seller written notice of its request at least ten (10) business days
prior to the 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 (b) Purchaser and the proposed assignee shall execute an
assignment and assumption of this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to Seller, and (c) in no event shall any assignment of this Agreement release or
discharge Purchaser from any liability or obligation hereunder.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Seller's prior written approval shall not be required in
connection with any assignment by Purchaser of its rights under this Agreement

to any entity in which J. Brian O'Neill or a Trust created for members of his
immediate family is an investor, provided that (i) such assignment shall not
take effect until the date of the Closing, (ii) Purchaser shall give Seller
written notice of any such assignment at least five (5) business days prior to
the Closing, and (iii) the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above shall apply
to any such assignment.  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.  Any
transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other
ownership interest in Purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this
Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.

given in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable overnight delivery

including termination of or any action adversely affecting the particular
Lease), for its own account, as it may deem advisable.  If within ten (10) days

insured account(s).  The account(s) to which the funds are deposited shall be an
escrow or trust account(s) of the Escrow Agent and the Earnest Money shall at
all times be fully covered by the federal insurance so that no portion of the
Earnest Money shall ever be at risk.  Such deposit, together with any interest
earned thereon, shall constitute the Earnest Money hereunder and shall be held,
invested and disbursed pursuant to the respective terms and provisions hereof
and of the Escrow Agreement. The Earnest Money shall be delivered by the Escrow

other than Purchaser's right to terminate this Contract as provided herein, 
Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract and receive the 
Earnest Money from the Escrow Agent, such funds being agreed upon as 
liquidated damages (and not as a penalty, Seller and Purchaser hereby 
acknowledging that the amount of damages resulting from a breach of this 
Contract by Purchaser would be difficult or impossible to accurately 
ascertain) for the failure of Purchaser to perform the duties, liabilities, 
and obligations imposed upon it by the terms and provisions of this Contract, 
and Seller agrees to accept and take the Earnest Money as its total damages 
and relief and as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure by the 
Purchaser to consummate such purchase, subject to Purchaser's indemnification 
and confidentiality obligations under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of this 
Contract.  Purchaser hereby authorizes Escrow Agent to release the Earnest 
Money to Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Contract upon the 
delivery by Seller to the Escrow Agent of a certification that Purchaser 
breached this Contact, failed to cure such breach as may be expressly 
permitted hereby, and that the conditions precedent set forth in the Escrow 
Agreement with respect to the release of the Earnest Money to the Seller have 
been met.

    Seller has agreed to pay the Commission to Broker as real estate broker

                                      ARTICLE X

                                    MISCELLANEOUS

    10.01     Assignment.  This Contract may not be assigned by Purchaser 
except to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, or to a partnership in 
which any such wholly-owned subsidiary owns 75% of the profits, losses and 
cash flow thereof and controls the management of the affairs of such 
partnership (any such entity, a "Permitted Assignee"), and any other 
assignment or attempted assignment by Purchaser shall constitute a default by 
Purchaser hereunder and shall be deemed null and void and of no force and 
effect.  No assignment shall relieve Purchaser from Purchaser's obligations 
under this Contract.  Purchaser shall have right to designate in writing, 
prior to Closing, a Permitted Assignee to whom the Deed shall be directed.

    10.02     Seller's Representations and Covenants.  Seller makes no 
express or implied representations or warranties regarding the Property or 
any other matter other than the following:

         (a)  Seller is a duly organized, validly existing mutual
              insurance company in the State of New York and authorized to
              transact business in the State of New Jersey.  Seller has
              the right, power and authority to enter into this Contract
              and all other documents to be executed in connection
              herewith, perform its obligations hereunder, and to cause
              its right, title and interest in and to the Property to be
              sold and conveyed in accordance with the terms and
              conditions hereof, and the person(s) executing this Contract
              on behalf of Seller is duly authorized and empowered to act
              for and to bind the Seller.

         (b)  This Contract, when duly executed and delivered, will be the
              legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable
              in accordance with the terms of this 

                                       14

<PAGE>

              Contract.  The execution and delivery of this Contract, and the 
              performance of the transactions contemplated hereby, does not 
              require the consent of any governmental or private party or 
              body and does not conflict with or constitute a breach by the 
              Seller of any other agreement, instrument, law, judgment, rule, 
              order, injunction, writ or decree to which the Seller is a 
              party or by which the Seller or any of its assets may be bound 
              or subject, and will not result in a violation of any 
              applicable law, order, rule or regulation of any Federal, or 
              State agency, body or corporation, or require the approval of 
              any such agency, body or corporation.

         (c)  To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, Seller has not
              received notice from any governmental entity having
              jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any municipal,
              federal, county or state governmental unit, or any
              subdivision, agency, board, bureau, department, office or
              body thereof, that the Property fails to comply in all
              respects with all applicable federal, state and local
              environmental, health, safety and zoning statutes and
              regulations, nor does Seller have actual knowledge of any
              violations or conditions that may give rise thereto.

         (d)  Seller is not a party to any contract or agreement to sell
              or otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest in the
              Property other than this Contract.

         (e)  Seller is not a "Foreign Person" within the meaning of
              Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
              amended.

         (f)  To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, Seller has not
              received any notices from appropriate governmental
              authorities of any condemnation or special assessment
              applicable to the Property not reflected in the Permitted
              Exceptions.

         (g)  Seller will continue to operate the Property in the ordinary
              course of business during the pendency of this Contract.

         (h)  To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, Seller has not
              received any notice that any default or breach presently
              exists under any covenant, condition, restriction,
              right-of-way or easement affecting the Property or any
              portion thereof which is to be performed or complied with by
              Seller and which would have a material and adverse effect on
              the Property, and Seller has no knowledge of any fact or
              condition which would constitute such a default or breach
              (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, could
              constitute such a default) under any such covenant,
              condition, restriction, right-of-way or easement.

         (i)  To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, there are no legal
              actions, suits, labor disputes, litigation or proceedings
              pending or threatened against the Property, or with respect
              to the environmental condition thereof, or any violations of
              any building codes or other statutes affecting the use,
              occupancy and enjoyment of the Property, except for pending

                                       15

              Seller has no knowledge that any tenant under the Leases has
              asserted any claim for any reduction, abatement, concession,
              offset, or allowance against the rent described in the
              Leases.

              agreements affecting the Property, nor shall Seller cause

              Date.

         (q)  Seller will not accept the surrender of any Service Contract
              or Lease, or grant any concession, rebate, allowance or free
              rent, without the consent of Purchaser.

regardless of Seller's election above, if the cost to repair such damage 
should, in Seller's estimation, exceed $100,000, then Purchaser, as its sole 
and exclusive remedies, may either (i) terminate this Contract, in which 
event Seller shall refund the Earnest Money to Purchaser or (ii) proceed with 
Closing with no adjustment to the Total Purchase Price, but Seller will (x) 
assign to Purchaser all insurance proceeds recoverable by Seller with respect 
to such casualty, (y) assign its rights to all unpaid claims and rights with 
respect thereto, and (z) execute such instruments of assignment as Purchaser 
shall reasonably require.

    10.14     Condemnation.  In the event the Property or any part thereof is 
condemned prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate 
this Contract upon written Notice to Seller given within ten (10) days of 
receipt of written notice from Seller or the condemning authority of such 
condemnation. Upon such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to 
Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations under this 
Contract.  If this Contract is not so terminated, there shall be no reduction 
in the Total Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller will (i) assign the 
entire condemnation award to Purchaser, (ii) assign its rights to all unpaid 
claims and rights with respect thereto, and (iii) execute such instruments of 
assignment as Purchaser shall reasonably require.

    10.15     Drafting.  This Contract shall not be construed more strictly 
against one party than the other because it may have been drafted by one of 
the parties or its counsel, each having contributed substantially and 
materially to the negotiation and drafting thereof.

                                      ARTICLE XI

Closing Date, Seller shall terminate all contracts related to the management 
and leasing of the Property (other than the Service Contracts).

deemed to be an original for all purposes.
