Cedar Knolls Acquisition

        The Company reached verbal agreement on key terms to purchase a parcel of land in Annapolis Junction, Maryland consisting of 51 developable acres ("Cedar Knolls") for $20,993,000 from an affiliate of Constellation Real Estate, Inc. Management expects that this acquisition will be completed on January 10, 2003. Under the terms of the agreement, the seller is providing financing for the acquisition at a below-market interest rate; accordingly, Management is discounting the value of the acquisition and the financing to reflect the below-market interest rate. The Cedar Knolls acquisition, after adjustment for the discount described above, is valued at approximately $19,688,000 for the purchase price and $17,128,000 for the seller financing.

        This pro forma condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and notes thereto:

    Corporate Office Properties Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries;

    the Airport Square Properties and the Gateway 63 Properties, both of which were included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 5, 2001;

    Washington Technology Park included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 13, 2002; and

    7000 Columbia Gateway Drive, 11800 Tech Road and 15049 and 15059 Conference Center Drive, all of which are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

        In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the 2001 Transactions, 2002 Transactions and probable acquisition of Cedar Knolls have been made. This pro forma condensed consolidating financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's actual financial position would have been at September 30, 2002 or what the results of operations would have been for the year ended December 31, 2001 or the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The pro forma condensed consolidating financial information also does not purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations of the Company.

    $ 12,088   $ 2,190  
   
 
 

      The pro forma adjustments above reflect an aggregate increase to interest expense. The aggregate pro forma increase to interest expense would increase by an additional $233 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $69 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 if interest rates on variable rate debt were 1/8th of a percentage point higher.

      The pro forma adjustments resulting from acquisition activity were computed using the effects of initial debt incurred for such acquisitions; such adjustments do not reflect the effect of subsequent changes to the Company's debt, including activity to refinance initially incurred debt. If the pro forma adjustments reflected subsequent refinancings with debt secured by the properties acquired above, the aggregate pro forma increase to interest expense would increase by an additional $324 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $75 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, if the pro forma adjustments reflected the effects of other changes to the Company's debt, the aggregate increase to interest expense could be higher.

R E C I T A L S:

        A. WHEREAS, Seller is the record or beneficial title holder of a certain parcel of land legally described on Exhibit "A" hereto ("Land"), improved with a single-tenant office building with area of approximately 145,806 square feet ("Building"), commonly known as 7000 Columbia Gateway Drive, County of Howard, State of Maryland.

        B. The Land and Building are leased to Honeywell International, Inc., as successor in interest to Allied-Signal, Inc. ("Tenant") pursuant to that certain Lease, dated December 15, 1997, as amended by letter dated December 15, 1997, and First Amendment dated December 31, 1998, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit "G" ("Lease").

        C. WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase and Seller desires to sell the Premises (as defined herein) on the terms and conditions set forth below.


A G R E E M E N T

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein, the mutual covenants herein contained, Ten Dollars paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

        1.    PREMISES.    The "Premises" consist of and are defined as all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to:

        1.1  The Land, the Building and all structures and other improvements now or hereafter erected thereon, and all easements, tenements, hereditaments, privileges and appurtenances in any way belonging thereto.

        1.2  All fixtures, equipment, and signs located on or about the Land and the Building, including, without limitation, all heating, lighting, plumbing, electrical and air-conditioning fixtures and equipment, all hot water heaters, furnaces, heating controls, motors and boiler pressure systems and equipment, but excluding such fixtures and equipment as are owned by Tenant or parties claiming by, through or under Tenant.

        1.3  All easements, if any, whether or not of record, appurtenant to the Land and the use of all appurtenant and assignable strips, railroad tracks and rights-of-way, if any, abutting, adjacent, contiguous or adjoining the Land.

        1.4  All licenses, permits and franchises issued by any federal, state, county or municipal authority relating to the use, maintenance or operation of the Land or the Building, running to or in favor of Seller to the extent the same are assignable by Seller.

        1.6  All right, title and interest of Seller in and to the use of trade names or trademarks owned by Seller and used in connection with the Premises, if any.

1


        2.    PURCHASE PRICE.

        2.1  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Seller agrees to sell the Premises to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Premises from Seller, subject only to the title conditions and other matters set forth on Exhibit "C" hereto (the "Permitted Exceptions"), for a purchase price of Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000.00) (the "Purchase Price"), subject to prorations and adjustments as provided below. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

        A. Within two business days after the Execution Date (as defined below), Purchaser shall deposit earnest money ("Earnest Money") in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) with Anchor Title Company, as escrowee ("Escrowee"). The escrow agreement shall provide that the Earnest Money and interest thereon shall be payable to Purchaser upon the unilateral written direction of Purchaser given on or before the Due Diligence Date (as defined below). The Earnest Money shall be held in such interest-bearing account as Purchaser may reasonably designate (provided the risk of loss shall remain solely with Purchaser) with interest payable to Purchaser upon Closing or any termination of this Contract for reasons other than a default by Purchaser.

        B. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price (less the Earnest Money, which Purchaser shall cause to be paid to Seller on Closing), plus or minus prorations and adjustments, to Seller, such payment to be made by wire transfer to the account of the Escrowee. The proceeds of sale must be disbursed to Seller by wire transfer and received by Seller in Seller's designated account no later than 2:00 pm (EST) on the date of Closing, and if not received by such time, prorations shall be adjusted to the business day on which such net proceeds are timely received.

        3.    TITLE AND SURVEY.

        3.1  Upon Closing, Seller shall convey good and marketable title to the Premises to Purchaser or Purchaser's nominee by delivery of its special warranty deed, in recordable form, conveying fee simple title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, provided, that Seller shall not be required to convey title to any nominee unless Purchaser has first, in conformity with the provisions of Section 12.7 below, assigned this Contract to such nominee and such nominee has assumed the obligations of Seller under this Contract.

        3.2  As evidence of title, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, within ten (10) days after the Execution Date, a copy of the most recent title insurance title policy in Seller's possession. Purchaser shall obtain, with respect to the Premises, a current commitment for title insurance (the "Title Commitment"), issued by Anchor Title Company, using an ALTA Form B (1970 amended 10/17/90) extended coverage owner's policy of title insurance, or form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, in the face amount of the Purchase Price, dated as of the Closing Date, indicating title to the Premises is vested in Purchaser subject only to Permitted Exceptions (as defined herein). The cost to issue the Title Commitment and the title policy, and any endorsements required by Purchaser, shall be paid by Purchaser.

        3.3  If the Title Commitment or Survey (as hereinafter defined) shows that title to the Premises is encumbered by matters of which Purchaser disapproves, other than Permitted Exceptions ("Unpermitted Exceptions"), Purchaser shall in writing notify Seller no later than the Due Diligence Date, and if such Unpermitted Exceptions are not removed at or before Closing, Purchaser may (i) proceed with the Closing, whereupon Purchaser shall accept Seller's deed subject to the Unpermitted Exceptions without any reduction in Purchase Price, (ii) elect to terminate this Contract, whereupon the Earnest Money together with interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder or (iii) pay over to the title company the amount necessary to cause the applicable Unpermitted Exception to be removed from title, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a like amount, but not to exceed $10,000.00 in the aggregate for any and all such Unpermitted Exceptions. Any matters to which Purchaser does not object as provided above (other than those matters to which it is not required to object as provided

2



above), including any endorsements or supplements to the Title Commitment issued at Purchaser's expense, and those matters affecting title that are reflected on the Survey, will be Permitted Exceptions, as if such matters were set forth on Exhibit "C."

        3.4  Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, within ten (10) days after the Execution Date, a copy of the survey of the Premises obtained by Seller when Seller acquired the same, or any update thereof since obtained by Seller (the "Survey"). As part of its investigations hereunder, Purchaser will have the right, at its expense, to have the Survey updated by the surveyor who prepared the same or by another surveyor selected by Purchaser.

        4.    SELLER DELIVERIES; INSPECTIONS.    No later than five (5) days after the Execution Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of those items listed in Exhibit "D" attached hereto to the extent the same are in Seller's possession (collectively "Seller's Deliveries"). From and after the Execution Date, with reasonable prior notice to Seller and subject to the rights of the Tenant, Purchaser and its agents shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and conduct investigations relating to the physical condition of the Premises, environmental matters, operating expenses, architectural, engineering, zoning, title, survey, tenancy and other matters. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any Phase II environmental assessments or any other invasive tests on the Premises (including, without limitation, borings or samplings) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, costs or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, resulting from or arising with respect to any personal injury or property damage caused by Purchaser's investigations. Purchaser shall hold any information acquired regarding the Premises in strictest confidence. Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, the foregoing covenant regarding confidentiality and the foregoing indemnity by Purchaser shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Contract, as applicable.

PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN SECTION 5.2 BELOW, HAVING BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PREMISES, PURCHASER IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE PREMISES AND NOT ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED BY SELLER. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES WAS OBTAINED FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES AND THAT SELLER MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MADE ANY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OR VERIFICATION OF SUCH INFORMATION AND, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.2 BELOW, MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH INFORMATION. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS C0NTRACT, SELLER IS NOT LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PREMISES, OR THE OPERATION THEREOF, FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.2 BELOW, THE SALE OF THE PREMISES AS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN IS MADE ON AN "AS IS" CONDITION AND BASIS AND "WITH ALL FAULTS". IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE PURCHASE PRICE HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED TO REFLECT THAT ALL OF THE PREMISES IS SOLD BY SELLER AND PURCHASED BY PURCHASER SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING.

        5.2  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that:

        A.    Attached hereto as Exhibit "G" is a complete and accurate copy of the Lease [excluding exhibits].

        B.    Seller has executed no leases, tenancies, licenses, concessions, franchises, options or rights of occupancy affecting the Premises other than the Lease and the Permitted Exceptions.

        C.    Seller has neither issued nor received a notice of default under the Lease that has not heretofore been cured.

        D.    To Seller's knowledge, no condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are currently pending or threatened against the Premises.

        E.    Except as disclosed in Exhibit "B", Seller has received no written notice of any violation (that has not been corrected) of any law, ordinance, order, regulation or requirement having jurisdiction over the Premises;

4



        F.    Seller is not a "foreign person" as defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;

        G.    Seller has full authority and power to execute this Contract and to close the sale of the Premises and that Seller's execution and performance of this Contract does not conflict with any obligation or agreement of Seller;

        H.    Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota;

        I.    To Seller's actual knowledge, except as set forth in any documents delivered to Purchaser (including the Title Commitment), Seller has not received written notice of any action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, governmental investigation or proceeding pending against Seller which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Contract;

        J.    Seller has not granted, other than to Purchaser, any outstanding option, right of first refusal or any other right with respect to the purchase of all or any portion of the Premises; and

        K.    Seller is not a party to any management, employment, maintenance, construction, commission, architectural, parking, supply or service contracts, warranties, guaranties and bonds and other agreements related to the Premises that remain in existence and would be binding against Purchaser after Closing, except those listed in Exhibit "I" attached hereto (collectively, the "Service Contracts").

        L.    Except as may be set forth in any environmental report or study delivered by Seller to Purchaser or otherwise delivered to Purchaser in connection with its due diligence in respect of the Premises, to Seller's actual knowledge and without investigation by Seller, there are no Hazardous Materials or substances present on or under the Land or in the Improvements in any quantity or manner that violates applicable laws governing Hazardous Materials or substances, other than those substances used by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business activities on the Premises. As used in this Section 5.2, "Hazardous Materials" means any substance, material or chemical that is or may be defined as "hazardous substances," "hazardous materials," "hazardous wastes," or words of similar impact under any federal, state or local statute, law, code or ordinance or under the regulations adopted or guidelines promulgated pursuant thereto, including but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environment Response, Compensation and Liability Acts of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 906 et seq., the Hazardous Materials Transformation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. §1801 et seq. and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 69 et seq., excluding any petroleum products or other chemicals used by Seller or the tenants of the Premises in the usual and ordinary course of their everyday business activities on the Premises.

        5.3  The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.2 of this Contract shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date after which all of the representations and warranties of Seller shall become void and of no further force or effect, except for Seller's representations and warranties concerning its authority set forth in subparagraph 5.2 G above, which shall survive Closing without limitation on duration. Seller shall deliver at Closing a certificate confirming its representations and warranties in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "J." Representations and warranties made herein to "Seller's knowledge," "Seller's actual knowledge" or similar references to knowledge shall mean the actual knowledge of Brian Brennan, Director of Real Estate Acquisitions, and Sue Busse, Property Accountant, and shall not be construed to impose a duty on Seller to independently investigate the matters so represented and warranted. If any of Seller's representations or warranties are discovered to be materially untrue on or before Closing, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either waive such matter and proceed to closing or terminate this Contract whereupon the Earnest Money together with interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder.

5

        7.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING; SELLER COVENANTS.    7.1 If Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, is not satisfied with the Premises, the Lease, the condition of title, survey or environmental matters, or the results of Purchaser's studies and investigations, or if Purchaser's Investment Committee has not approved this transaction, then Purchaser may, by serving notice on Seller no later than Due Diligence Date (as hereinafter defined) terminate this Contract, in which event all Earnest Money deposited to date together with all interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party shall have any further claims or obligations hereunder. If Purchaser does not give such notice on or before the Due Diligence Date then this condition precedent shall be deemed waived and of no further force and effect. The "Due Diligence Date" shall mean 5:00 P.M Eastern Standard Time on that day that is forty-five (45) days after the Execution Date, provided that if the Due Diligence Date would fall on a weekend or holiday, then the Due Diligence Date shall be the first following business day.

        7.2  Purchaser's obligation to close shall be further conditioned upon the following:

        C.    all of Seller's representations and warranties shall be materially true and correct as of Closing and Seller shall not be in material default of any of its obligations hereunder; and

        If the above conditions are not satisfied as of Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedies, to either (i) extend the Closing Date for a reasonable period of time to allow Seller to satisfy any condition that is reasonably capable of being satisfied by Seller, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the Execution Date, or (ii) to terminate this Contract whereupon all Earnest Money and interest thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder; provided, however, that if a failed condition is a result of a breach by Seller of its covenants hereunder, Purchaser may exercise its rights and remedies under Section 10.2.

        7.3  From the date hereof until Closing or termination of the Contract:

        A. Seller shall not make, enter or grant any new lease, tenancy, license or other agreement for the use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof without Purchaser's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

        B. Seller shall not modify or amend the Lease without Purchaser's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6



        C.

        M. Seller shall not enter any new Service Contacts without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        N. No later than five (5) days after the Execution Date, Seller shall request, and upon receipt deliver to Purchaser, each of (i) a compliance certificate from the Architectural Review Committee under Deed Agreement and Declaration, recorded in the Land Records of Howard County in Liber 463, Folio 158 and (ii) an estoppel letter from Columbia Association, Inc. regarding the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded in the aforesaid Land Records in Liber 1503, Folio 235; in each case in such form as the Association shall determine, but delivery of such certificate and estoppel letter shall not be a condition of Closing.

        8.    CLOSING.    

        8.1  The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereunder ("Closing") shall occur on the date which is fifteen (15) days after the Due Diligence Date ("Closing Date"), provided that if the Closing Date would fall on a weekend or holiday, then the Closing shall occur on the next following business day.

        8.2  The costs of any closing escrows shall be divided equally between the parties. Transfer taxes, recordation taxes, documentation and similar fees or taxes required by State law or city or county ordinance shall be divided equally between the parties. Any mortgage taxes, mortgage recordation taxes or similar fees or taxes, to the extent such taxes or fees are incurred by Purchaser in connection with securing financing to acquire the Premises, shall be paid by Purchaser. Title premiums shall be paid in the manner described in Article 3.

        8.3  At Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrowee or deliver to Purchaser the following:

        A. Duly executed special warranty deed in form attached hereto as Exhibit "H";

        C. All plans and specifications in Seller's control;

        D. A non-foreign affidavit sufficient in form and substance to relieve Purchaser of any and all withholding obligations under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code;

        E. Seller affidavit in customary form;

        F. IRS Form 1099;

        G. Duly executed notice to the Tenant stating that the Premises have been sold and that all future rent should be paid as Purchaser shall direct;

        H. All keys and combinations to locks, if any, in Seller's possession;

        I. All other documents, certificates, forms and agreements required by this Contract or applicable law or reasonably required by the Escrowee to close the transaction; and

        J. Certificate Confirming Representations and Warranties in form attached hereto as Exhibit "J."

        8.4  At the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrowee the balance of the Purchase Price (less the Earnest Money, which Purchaser shall cause to be paid to Seller at Closing by wire transfer), plus or minus prorations and adjustments, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and shall deliver to Seller the Certificate Confirming Representations and Warranties in form attached hereto as Exhibit "J." Purchaser shall further execute and deliver all other documents, certificates, forms and agreements required by this Contract or applicable law or reasonably required by the Escrowee in order to close the transaction.

        8.5  At the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly execute and deposit with the Escrowee the following:

        A. Duly executed settlement statement.

        B. Transfer declarations, if required, for state, county, and municipal real estate transfer taxes.

        C. Assignment and Assumption of the Lease in form attached as Exhibit "F."

        9.    CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS.

        Adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date. The Closing Date shall be a day of income and expense for Purchaser. The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:

        9.1  Prepaid rents and other prepaid charges collected by Seller from Tenant for the month of Closing shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Rents and other charges which relate to periods prior to Closing which have not been collected as of Closing (collectively "Delinquent Rents") shall not be prorated. Seller shall have the right to collect Delinquent Rents from Tenant, which may include legal proceedings against Tenant as Seller deems appropriate, provided no such action shall demand possession or termination of the Lease. Any rents collected after closing shall be applied against the receivable as indicated by Tenant, provided if not specifically identifiable, rents collected after Closing from Tenant shall be applied: (i) first, rents due for the month in which such payment is received, (iii) second, to rents attributable to any period after Closing which are past due on the date of receipt,

8



and (iv) third, to Delinquent Rents. After Closing, Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser any rents received relating to periods after Closing and Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller any Delinquent Rents received. The provision of this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing.

        9.2  Real estate taxes, water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utilities and charges which are paid directly by Tenant under the Lease shall not be prorated.

        9.3  To the extent that errors are discovered in, or additional information becomes available with respect to, the prorations and allocations made at Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to make such post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however, all prorations (except for prorations and allocations of (i) ad valorem taxes, (ii) tenant reimbursables of taxes and operating expenses, as applicable and (iii) prorations or allocations that are then currently in dispute) shall be final no later than six (6) months after Closing.

        10.    DEFAULTS; FAILURE TO CLOSE.

        10.1 If Purchaser shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and such failure is not corrected within five (5) business days after written notice from Seller (except that no such notice shall be required for a failure to close or pay the purchase price), Purchaser shall be in "default" hereunder. Upon a default by Purchaser, Seller may terminate this Contract and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy. Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the amount of actual damages for such breach, and these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach.

        10.2 If prior to Closing, Seller shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and such failure is not corrected within five (5) business days after written notice from Purchaser (except that no such notice shall be required for a failure to close), or if any representations or warranties made by Seller hereunder are or become materially untrue as the result of an act or omission of Seller and such materially untrue representation or warranty is not corrected within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser, then Seller shall be deemed to be in "default" under this Contract. Upon a default by Seller, Purchaser may as its sole and exclusive alternative remedies: (i) terminate this Contract and receive (a) a refund of the Earnest Money together with interest earned thereon and (b) solely in the event of Seller's willful default, payment to Purchaser of all of its actual and reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, not to exceed $25,000.00 in the aggregate, (ii) commence an action for specific performance or (iii) waive all claims on account of such default and proceed to Closing. Election of one or more of the aforesaid remedies shall preclude an election of others.

        11.    CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.    

        11.1 If the Building is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty (an "Occurrence") and not repaired and/or restored before Closing, and the cost of repairing such damage will exceed $250,000.00 or Tenant exercises any right to terminate its Lease as a result thereof, the Closing shall occur on the latter of the Closing date specified above or thirty-five (35) days after the date of such Occurrence. Within thirty (30) days after such an Occurrence, Purchaser shall elect:

        A. to terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money deposited to date and interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have any claim against any other party hereto by virtue of this Contract, or

        B. to close the sale and purchase contemplated hereby, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to settle the loss with the insurance companies and to receive the proceeds of insurance applicable thereto, and thereupon Seller shall be relieved of all obligation to repair. To that end, Seller shall execute all necessary proofs of loss, assignments of claim and similar items as requested by Purchaser.

9



        If the cost of repairing the damage caused by such Occurrence will not exceed $250,000 and Tenant does not exercise its right, if any, to terminate the Lease, Closing shall not be extended and Purchaser shall proceed to Closing in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to settle the loss with the insurance companies and to receive the proceeds of insurance applicable thereto, and thereupon Seller shall be relieved of all obligation to repair. To that end, Seller shall execute all necessary proofs of loss, assignments of claim and similar items as requested by Purchaser.

        11.2 If between the Execution Date and the date of Closing, any portion of the Premises are taken under power of eminent domain, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are filed with respect to any portion of the Premises, or Seller receives written notice of an offer to purchase, in anticipation of condemnation if a negotiated price cannot be reached, from any authority with power of eminent domain with respect to any portion of the Premises, Purchaser may, within thirty (30) days after learning of such proceedings, at its option, elect either to:

        A. terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money deposited to date and interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any claim against any other party hereto by virtue of this Contract, or

        B. close the transaction contemplated hereby, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings; provided, that if Seller has received an award on account thereof, Seller shall credit Purchaser at Closing with an amount equal to such award.

        If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election within said thirty (30) days, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected A. above.

        12.    MISCELLANEOUS.

        12.8 If any provision of this Contract is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this Contract shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Contract; and, the remaining provisions of this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Contract.

        A. 11800 TECH ROAD LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("the Company") is the owner of one or more parcels of land containing approximately 24.98 acres located at 11800 Tech Road, Silver Spring, Maryland, together with appurtenant building improvements consisting of approximately 239,577 net rentable square feet (the "Real Property"). The Real Property is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Real Property includes (i) any and all furniture, fixtures, equipment, tools and machinery located at the Real Property and used in connection with the ownership or operation of the Real Property and owned by the Company (the "Tangible Personal Property"), (ii) except to the extent cancelled as of the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Contract ("Closing") at the written direction of Buyer, service and other contracts relating to the operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property (the "Service Contracts"), (iii) Seller's interest in leases, subleases, licenses, rental agreements and other occupancy agreements with tenants occupying or using all or any portion of the Real Property together with all amendments thereto (collectively, the "Leases"), and any guaranties applicable thereto and all security deposits, advance rental, or like payments (collectively, the "Security Deposits"), if any, held by Seller in connection with the Leases; (iv) except to the extent rendered invalid due to the change in control over the Company, any and all licenses, authorizations, permits and approvals issued by any governmental authority and relating to the Company's ownership and operation of the Real Property (the "Licenses and Permits"), and, except to the extent rendered invalid due to the change in control over the Company, all warranties and guarantees from vendors, if any (the "Warranties"), and (v) all right, title and interest of the Company in and to the use of any trade name or trademark applicable to the Real Property and all local and toll-free telephone numbers and listings for the Real Property operated by the Company, if any (the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) inclusive, but excluding the Excluded Assets, as defined herein, collectively, the "Personal Property") (the Personal Property together with the Real Property, to the extent assignable, is referred to herein as the "Property"). In this Contract, reference to the Property shall be understood (as the context requires) to apply to the Property owned by the Company.

        B. Seller is the owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in the Company (collectively, the "Membership Interests").

        C. Seller has offered to sell and Buyer has offered to purchase the Membership Interests pursuant to this Contract.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.    PURCHASE AND SALE.    Subject to the provisions of this Contract, Seller agrees to sell and convey and Buyer agrees to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests.

The Earnest Money shall be applied to the Purchase Price or otherwise paid to the Seller or Buyer as provided for herein. At Closing, Buyer shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price in full in immediately available funds to Seller, subject to adjustments and prorations set forth herein, and in the manner provided in Section 4(a) below.

              (iv)  All charges payable or prepaid with respect to any and all service or other contracts relating to the operation of the Real Property that are assigned to Buyer at Closing.

              (v)  The rent payable by tenants under the Leases shall be adjusted, and any such rent prepaid to Seller (including a pro rata portion of the rent collected prior to Closing for the month in which the Closing occurs) shall be paid or credited to Buyer at Closing. Any rent collected after the Closing Date from any tenant who owed delinquent rent as of the Closing Date shall be applied first to any rent due and payable by such tenant for the month in which the Closing Date occurred, second to any rent then due and payable for the period after Closing, and third to any arrearage owed by such tenant on the Closing Date in the inverse order of maturity. For a period of six (6) months after Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to collect delinquent rent.

              (vi)  Schedule 5(a)(v) includes a list of amounts due and owing by the Company to tenants under the Leases in connection with tenant improvement work ("TI Costs").

All such security deposits and prepaid amounts (including interest as aforesaid) required to be held by the Company and not applied in accordance with the applicable leases shall continue to be held by the Company and not deemed Excluded Assets, as defined below, or transferred as assets of the Company.

4



              (vii) Seller shall be entitled to (i) arrange for direct payment by the applicable mortgagee to Seller of the balance of all deposits and escrowed amounts held by any mortgage holder which otherwise constitute the property of the Company (or to apply same to the loan payoff amount at Closing), and (ii) cause the Company to distribute to Seller on or before the Closing Date all cash balances of the Company as of the Closing Date, it being agreed that Buyer is not purchasing any cash currently on account for the credit of the Company as part of its purchase of the Membership Interests.

              (viii)  Other expenses of operating or owning the Real Property not specifically addressed above, with those paid or accruing through the Closing Date being Seller's responsibility and those accruing on and after the Closing Date being the Company's (and Buyer's) responsibility.

    If any of the items described in this Section 4 cannot be apportioned at Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error or additional information is discovered, as applicable. This Section 4(e) shall survive the Closing Date for six (6) months.

            (f)    Excluded Assets.    

            All items listed below shall constitute "Excluded Assets" hereunder, and shall not be transferred as assets of the Company at Closing, but rather, shall be transferred or distributed by the Company to Seller at or prior to Closing (or otherwise handled as provided below):

              (i)    Any and all cash, certificates of deposit, cash equivalents, bank accounts, accounts receivable, utility or other deposits and similar items belonging to the Company prior to or as of the Closing Date, and which are not expressly provided by this Contract to be transferred to Buyer or to be subject to proration in accordance with the preceding terms of this Contract, shall become, as of the Closing Date, the sole property of the Seller, and not that of the Company.

              (ii)  All proceeds payable under any insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to occurrences or losses prior to Closing shall be the sole property of Seller, all such insurance policies to be terminated by Seller effective as of the Closing, and Buyer shall cause the Company to obtain new insurance of every kind and nature that Buyer deems appropriate as of and after the Closing Date.

              (iii)    The management agreement between the Company and Seller's Agent pertaining to the Property (the "Goldstar Management Agreement") which shall be deemed terminated as of Closing.

              (iv)  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller, upon the request of Seller, on behalf of the Company or separately, to execute such documentation as may be required to vest the title to any of the foregoing Excluded Assets in the name of Seller. Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to cause the Company to take such actions and execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary to transfer such Excluded Assets from the Company to the Seller. In the event that any items cannot be refunded to Seller, Buyer shall reimburse Seller therefor by a credit on the Closing Statement.

              (ii)  Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not be subject to any liability in acting in reliance upon, any joint writing furnished to Escrow Agent by Buyer and Seller and shall be entitled to treat as genuine the document that such joint writing purports to be, including any letter, paper, or other document furnished to Escrow Agent in connection with this Contract.

              (iii)    In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or against the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with the claims and demands of either party until such disagreement is finally resolved, either by Buyer and Seller, as evidenced by a joint writing reflecting such resolution and delivered to Escrow Agent pursuant to subparagraph (b), above, or by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding which Escrow Agent or any other party may initiate, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that Escrow Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to initiate any such proceedings.

              (iv)  Subject to the provisions of this Contract relating to a default by either of the parties hereto, in the event of a termination of this Contract by either Seller or Buyer as permitted by the terms hereof, Escrow Agent is authorized and directed by Seller and Buyer to deliver the Earnest Money to the party entitled thereto pursuant to the terms hereof not less than six (6) nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Escrow Agent and the non-terminating party of written notice of termination delivered by the terminating party in accordance with this Contract and receipt of evidence satisfactory to Escrow Agent that the non-terminating party has, in fact, received written notice of such termination in accordance herewith unless, within five (5) Business Days after Escrow Agent's receipt of such termination notice, the non-terminating party notifies Escrow Agent that it disputes the right of the terminating party to receive the Earnest Money (which notice shall state on its face a factual and/or legal basis for such dispute with reasonable specificity). For purposes of the immediately preceding parenthetical, Escrow Agent shall not be required to inquire as to the merits of any claimed dispute, but may accept a mere statement of its existence as a grounds to act in accordance with this Section.

All attorneys' fees and costs of Escrow Agent incurred in connection with any such dispute or interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Earnest Money, or if the Earnest Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution.

              (v)  If this escrow shall be involved in any litigation or controversy, the parties shall hold the Escrow Agent free and harmless against any cost or expense that may be suffered by it by reason of such litigation or controversy, other than due to its negligence or malfeasance. In addition, the party who prevails in any such litigation shall be indemnified by the non-prevailing party from and against any cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees (both at trial and on appeal) associated with such litigation, as well as the replacement of any depletion in the escrow funds, if such funds are ultimately to be paid to the prevailing party.

              (vi)  Prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Contract in accordance with its terms, neither party shall have the right to withdraw any instruments or monies deposited by them with the Escrow Agent, except as herein specifically provided.

Buyer shall rely solely on its own investigation with respect to the Real Property, including the Real Property's physical, environmental and economic conditions and the compliance or lack thereof with any ordinance, order, permit or resolution.

            (b)    Buyer's Independent Investigations.    Buyer acknowledges that it is being given the full opportunity to inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Real Property during the Feasibility Period (as defined in Section 6(d)), either independently or through agents, representatives or experts of Buyer's choosing, as Buyer considers necessary or appropriate, and its failure to give the Termination Notice (as defined in Section 6(d)) shall conclusively evidence Buyer's complete satisfaction with such independent investigation.

            (c)    Guaranty of Goldstar.    As a condition precedent to entering into this Contract, The Goldstar Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Goldstar"), has agreed to assume liability for any breach of Seller's representations and warranties as set forth in this Section 5.

            (d)    Release.    Without limiting the provisions of this Section 5, Buyer waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, and covenants not to sue, (i) Seller, (ii) Seller's affiliates, asset manager, Seller's Agent, Goldstar, lenders, partners, members, manager(s), trustees, shareholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, advisors, successors and assigns and (iii) the affiliates, partners, members, managers, trustees, shareholders,

    controlling persons, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, advisors, heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns of each party listed in clause (ii) immediately above (the parties described in clause (i)—(iii) of this Section 5(c) are individually referred to as a "Seller Party" and collectively as the "Seller Parties") with respect to any and all claims, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Real Property or the business of the Company, including, without limitation, the physical, environmental and structural condition of the Real Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including, without limitation, any claim or matter relating to the use, presence, discharge or release of Hazardous Materials on, under, in, above or about the Real Property; provided, however, that Buyer does not waive its rights, if any, to recover from, and does not release or discharge or covenant not to sue the Seller or Goldstar for (i) any act that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute intentional fraud, (ii) any breach of Seller's representations or warranties set forth in this Section 5, subject to the limitations and conditions on any such suit as provided in this Contract or (iii) any breach of Seller's obligations set forth in this Contract that expressly survive Closing.

            (d)    Intentionally Deleted.    

            (e)    Buyer's Representations.    Buyer represents to Seller that:

              (i)    Organization and Authorization.    Buyer is an entity duly organized and in good standing in the state of its organization. The individual executing this Contract on behalf of Buyer is duly authorized to execute this Contract on behalf of Buyer. The execution and delivery of this Contract and the performance of all obligations of Buyer hereunder have been duly authorized.

              (ii)    No Conflicting Agreements.    The purchase of the Membership Interests by Buyer as provided hereunder and the performance by Buyer of its obligations under this Contract will not conflict with or result in the breach of any of the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party.

        6.    BUYER'S INSPECTIONS AND FEASIBILITY PERIOD.    

            (a)  Within three (3) Business Days after the date of full execution of this Contract, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of all Leases, test borings, surveys, title materials, environmental studies, plans, engineering and architectural data, and other tests, studies, and reports listed on Exhibit D hereto (collectively, the "Reports") now in the possession or control of Seller or Seller's Agent relating to the Real Property, at no cost to Buyer. Seller shall give the Buyer and its partners, members of its partners, managers of members of its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, prospective mortgagees, consultants and representatives (each, a "Buyer Party" and collectively, the "Buyer Parties"), reasonable access to the Property during normal business hours and after reasonable prior notice, for the purpose of performing any reasonable tests, studies and investigations, including, without limitation, environmental inspections, property condition reports and an updated survey of the Real Property. Buyer shall repair or, at Seller's election, pay Seller on demand the reasonable cost of repairing, any damage to any Property caused by any of the Buyer Parties during the course of any such entries on the Real Property.

            (b)  By Buyer's execution of this Contract, Buyer agrees (i) to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, the Company, and the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, damages and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or resulting from the entry and/or the conduct of activities upon the Real Property by the Buyer Parties and their respective employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors or attorneys, and (ii) that, in the event Closing of the transaction

10



    contemplated by this Contract does not occur, upon request, Buyer will deliver promptly to Seller copies of all third-party reports and surveys commissioned by or on behalf of Buyer with respect to the Real Property. The preceding sentence shall survive Closing.

            (c)  In conducting any inspections of the Property, no Buyer Party shall (i) contact or have any discussions from and after the Effective Date with any tenant of the Real Property or any agent, representative or contractor of Seller or the Company, unless in each case Buyer obtains the prior consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being agreed that all such requests for consent shall be directed to Michael Brodsky of the Seller's Agent, (ii) interfere with day-to-day operations of the Company and/or tenants of the Real Property, or (iii) damage the Real Property or any portion thereof. Buyer shall schedule and coordinate all on-site inspections with Seller's Agent and shall attempt to give Seller's Agent at least two (2) Business Days' prior written notice thereof. Seller shall be entitled to have a representative present at all times during each such on-site inspection. All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees and other costs and expenses of any kind incurred by any Buyer Party relating to such inspection of the Property and its other due diligence activities shall be at the sole expense of Buyer. The Buyer Parties shall not be permitted to conduct any intrusive or invasive environmental tests or inspections, including, without limitation, borings or drilling in or on the Real Property, without the prior consent of Seller's Agent (and, if such consent is given, Buyer shall repair and restore, or at Seller's election, pay to Seller on demand the reasonable cost of repairing and restoring, any damage caused directly or indirectly by the aforesaid intrusive or invasive testing). Buyer shall not itself file or record, and shall prevent any other Buyer Party from filing or recording, any lien, judgment or encumbrance against any Property for fees or expenses payable in connection with any inspection conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer Parties; without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly discharge of record any such liens, judgments or other encumbrances that are filed or recorded against the Real Property as a result of Buyer's inspection conducted pursuant to this Contract (including, without limitation, liens for services, labor or materials furnished).

            (d)  If, during the period ending thirty (30) days after the first to occur of June 1, 2002 or the date of this Contract (the "Feasibility Period"), Buyer gives Seller written notification (the "Termination Notice") that Buyer elects not to consummate the purchase of the Membership Interests, this Contract shall terminate, the Earnest Money and the interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further liability to the other under this Contract except with respect to obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof. Buyer shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to give the Termination Notice. If Buyer elects not to give (or otherwise fails to give) the Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with, and subject to, its terms, the Earnest Money shall become non-refundable except in case of a default by Seller or the failure of a condition precedent to Closing existing in favor of Buyer, and Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Contract.

            (e)  The obligations of Buyer under this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Contract.

11


        7.    INTERIM OPERATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY.    

            (a)  Except as otherwise contemplated or permitted by this Contract or approved by Buyer in writing, from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will, or will cause the Company to, operate, maintain and repair the Real Property in the ordinary course, consistent with the Company's past practices and will not dispose of or encumber the Real Property, except for dispositions of personal property in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by this Contract. This covenant shall not include any obligation on the part of Seller or the Company to make capital expenditures or any other expenditures not incurred in the normal course of business of the Company or Seller.

            (b)  Seller shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, enter into any new lease or agreement to create a lien or encumbrance on any of the Property without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to any utility or similar easement necessary for the operation of a Real Property, and which consent shall be deemed granted if Buyer does not respond in writing to Seller's request for consent within three (3) Business Days. Seller will provide Buyer with a fully executed copy of any new leases entered into pursuant to this Section 7(b) not more than five (5) Business Days after execution and delivery thereof by the Company and such new tenant.

            (c)  Schedule 5(a)(vi) reflects, and Seller has included in the Evaluation Materials, copies of all contracts entered into by Seller and/or the Company prior to Effective Date, excluding the Goldstar Management Agreement. The Company shall not enter into any further such contracts after the Effective Date without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall be deemed granted if Buyer does not respond in writing to Seller's request for consent within three (3) Business Days. All such contracts shall be negotiated at arm's length, with unrelated third parties, and at market terms, in order to replace existing service contracts that Seller determines, in Seller's good faith judgment, are reasonably required to be replaced for the prudent operation of the Real Property. Seller will provide Buyer with a fully executed copy of any new contract entered into pursuant to this Section 7(c) not more than five (5) Business Days after execution and delivery thereof by the Company and such new service provider.

            (d)  Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Company to continue to maintain its existing insurance coverage relating to the Real Property.

            (e)  Seller shall not create or voluntarily permit to be created any liens, easements or other conditions affecting any portion of the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, and shall convey title to the Property to Buyer at Closing free and clear of all options, rights, covenants, easements, liens and other rights in favor of third parties except the Permitted Exceptions and the Leases.

            (f)    From and after the end of the Feasibility Period, Seller shall not market the Real Property for sale to any other party.

            (g)  Seller shall terminate, effective as of the Closing Date, all Service Contracts which are rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by Buyer to Seller no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Seller is hereby notified to terminate all employment agreements and the property management agreement(s) with respect to the Property. Further, Seller is hereby notified and hereby acknowledges that Buyer will not assume at Closing any leasing, brokerage and commission agreements in effect with respect to the Property and/or the Leases, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Contract.

        8.    TITLE.    To Seller's knowledge, the Company has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of any liens, deeds of trust, pledges, security interests, leases, charges, encumbrances or restrictions of any kind, except the Permitted Exceptions and Seller Obligations. After

12


the Effective Date, Seller shall not execute, and shall ensure that the Company does not execute, any deed, easement, restriction or covenant affecting title to the Real Property unless permitted under Section 7(b), above, or Buyer has received a copy thereof and has expressly approved the same in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All mortgages, deeds of trust and liens or encumbrances that secure the payment of money created by Seller and/or the Company against the Real Property shall be paid at or before Closing (the items in this clause (ii) collectively, "Seller Obligations"), it being understood and agreed that Seller shall have the right to have the Escrow Agent apply a corresponding portion of the Purchase Price proceeds at Closing for such purpose.

        9.    COSTS.    Buyer shall pay the cost of (i) all premiums and charges in connection with any Title Commitment (as defined in Section 10) or Title Policy (hereinafter defined) (including endorsements) issued to Buyer, (ii) the cost of preparing a survey, (iii) all recording and filing charges, if any, in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Membership Interests, (iv) all escrow or closing charges, (v) all costs of Buyer's due diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, (vi) all brokers' fees and commissions for any broker retained by Buyer, (vii) all lenders' fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer, and (viii) all costs, fees and charges for the reissuance of any Licenses and Permits to Buyer or the Company, or any new Licenses and Permits (or other filings) required to reflect the change in control over the Company, in connection with the transfer of the Membership Interests (and the resulting transfer of control over the Company) to Buyer. With regard to sales taxes, transfer taxes, recordation taxes and similar charges, if any, that are applicable to the transfer of the Membership Interests to Buyer, the parties believe that no such taxes are applicable, but, if they are, the parties agree to divide them equally. Each party shall pay the fees and costs of its own counsel.

        10.    TITLE MATTERS.    Buyer has ordered, or will order, within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, a title insurance commitment (the "Title Commitment") from Anchor Title Company (the "Title Company") and shall arrange for the Title Company to simultaneously deliver a copy thereof (as well as any updates or supplements thereto) to Seller and Seller's counsel (as set forth in Section 18). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (the "Buyer's Title Objection Letter") of any title matters listed in the Title Commitment or matters depicted on the updated survey of which Buyer disapproves (the "Title Objections") prior to the end of the Feasibility Period, except that Buyer shall not object to any Seller Obligations, it being understood and agreed by the parties that Seller shall be obligated to satisfy all Seller Obligations by the Closing Date. Any matters to which Buyer does not object as provided above (other than those matters to which it is not required to object as provided above) shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, as defined herein. At or before the Closing Date, Seller shall satisfy all matters customarily included on Schedule B-l of the Title Commitment (other than matters that are the Buyer's responsibility). Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) Business Days of Seller's receipt of Buyer's Title Objection Letter whether Seller is willing to satisfy the Title Objections (the "Seller Notice"). If Seller fails to deliver the Seller Notice within the time period required hereunder, Seller shall be deemed to have given Buyer notice that Seller shall not cure or satisfy any Title Objection. If Seller is unwilling (or deemed unwilling) to satisfy the Title Objections, Buyer shall have the option, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the time period required for the delivery by Seller of the Seller's Notice, to either (i) terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, this Contract shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder (except for any obligations which expressly survive termination), or (ii) waive the Title Objections, in which event the parties shall proceed to Closing hereunder. If Seller is not able, fails or refuses to satisfy any Seller Obligations or other Title Objections which Seller had expressly agreed to satisfy or cure at or before the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect either (i) to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller and Title Company, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, this Contract shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities

13



hereunder (except for any obligations which expressly survive termination), (ii) to pay over to the Title Company the amount necessary to cause the applicable liens and Title Objection(s) to be removed from title, or (iii) to waive the unsatisfied Title Objections and proceed to Closing, in which event the unsatisfied Title Objections will become Permitted Exceptions. Any easements, covenants, restrictions, exceptions of record (other than Seller Obligations) that are shown on the Title Commitment to which Buyer has not objected as set forth above, together with (a) all laws, ordinances, statutes, orders, requirements and regulations to which the Real Property is subject, and (b) all terms, conditions and provisions of all written leases of space for all or any portion of the Real Property shown on Schedule 5(a)(v), Schedule 5(a)(vi) or entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with this Contract, and (c) any exception from an updated survey, and all matters described above as Permitted Exceptions are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Permitted Exceptions." If Buyer does not deliver the Termination Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any title defect or satisfy any other title matters other than as specifically provided for above. If the Title Company notifies the parties of any additional exceptions to title after the Expiration of the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall have three (3) Business Days from the date of delivery of any such title supplement within which to object to the same by written notice to Seller. If Buyer does not timely deliver such objection notice to Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved all such additional exceptions, each of which shall be deemed a Permitted Exception. With respect to any supplemental title matter to which Buyer has timely objected, Seller shall notify Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of Buyer's objection notice whether Seller intends to endeavor to cure such title matter, failing which Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the matter. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure a title defect, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller given within five (5) Business Days after Seller's notice or deemed election not to cure, failing which, any such defect shall be deemed a Permitted Exception and Buyer shall proceed to Closing without any reduction or abatement in the Purchase Price. If Buyer elects to terminate this Contract, then upon giving the requisite written notice of termination to Seller, this Contract shall terminate, the Earnest Money and the interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further liability to the other under this Contract except with respect to obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to object to (a) any Title Commitment requirements which are Buyer's responsibility to fulfill (such as providing the Title Company with organizational and authorization documentation), (b) any matter over which the Title Company is willing to insure, (c) any matter against which the Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance, (e) any matter arising as a result of an act or omission of any Buyer Party, or (f) standard ALTA exceptions and other matters which are customarily removed at Closing.

        11.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING.    

            (a)    Conditions to Buyer's Obligations.    The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Membership Interests from Seller and to perform the other covenants and obligations to be performed by Buyer on the Closing Date shall be subject to the following conditions (all or any of which may be waived in writing, in whole or in part, by Buyer:

              (i)    Representations and Warranties True.    The representations and warranties made by Seller under this Contract shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of this Contract and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date.

              (ii)    Seller's Performance.    Seller shall not be in default of its obligation to perform all covenants, agreements and delivered all documents required by this Contract to be performed or delivered by it on or before the Closing Date.

14



              (iii)    Company Obligations Current.    Subject to the prorations provided for herein for items not yet due and payable, Seller shall have caused the Company to pay all vendors and suppliers under existing service contracts for amounts invoiced which are due and payable as of the Closing Date.

              (iv)    Estoppel Certificates.    Seller shall have delivered the estoppel certificates to Buyer in accordance with Section 4(d).

              (v)    Seller Obligations.    Seller shall have paid or have arranged for payment as of the Closing Date of all Seller Obligations.

            (b)    Conditions to Seller's Obligations.    The obligations of Seller to sell the Membership Interests to Buyer and to perform the other covenants and obligations to be performed by Seller on the Closing Date shall be subject to the following conditions (all or any of which may be waived in writing, in whole or in part, by Seller:

              (i)    Representations and Warranties True.    The representations and warranties made by Buyer under this Contract shall be true and correct in all respects on the date of this Contract and shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date.

              (ii)    Buyer's Performance.    Buyer shall not be in default of its obligation to perform all covenants, agreements and delivered all documents and funds required by this Contract to be performed or delivered by it on or before the Closing Date.

        12.    RISK OF LOSS.    If, prior to the Closing Date, all or part of the Real Property is damaged by fire or by any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of such damage. If the cost of repairing such damage, in the aggregate, is not in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (as determined by Seller's independent insurer, or, if requested by Buyer, by an independent contractor licensed in Montgomery County, Maryland reasonably acceptable to Seller, the cost of which shall be borne by Buyer), then (i) Buyer shall have the right at the Closing to receive, to the extent such sums have not been expended on repair work, the amount of the deductible plus an assignment of all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such loss, (ii) this Contract shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price and (iii) Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage. If the cost of repairing damage from such casualty is greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (as determined by Seller's independent insurer), then Buyer shall have the right, for a period of ten (10) days from the date of notice of the amount of damage caused by the casualty, but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice of termination to Seller within such period. Upon such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall be released of any further liability hereunder except as otherwise provided herein. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such period of Buyer's exercise of its right to terminate this Contract, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing and, to the extent such sums have not been expended on repair work, all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such casualty loss plus the amount of the deductible shall be paid to Buyer at Closing. If such proceeds have not yet been received by Seller, then Seller's rights to such proceeds shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing upon payment of the full Purchase Price to Seller by Buyer less the amount of Seller's deductible and Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage.

        13.    SELLER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM.    Upon a default by Seller, Purchaser may as its sole and exclusive alternative remedies: (i) terminate this Contract and receive (a) a refund of the Earnest Money together with interest earned thereon and (b) solely in the event of Seller's willful default after notice and a five (5) day opportunity to cure, payment to Purchaser of all of its actual third party costs

15



and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction up to a maximum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), provided that a failure to obtain estoppel certificates as required in Section 4(d) hereof shall not constitute a willful default by Seller under this Contract, (ii) commence an action for specific performance or (iii) waive all claims on account of such default and proceed to Closing. Election of one or more of the aforesaid remedies shall preclude an election of others. If Buyer terminates this Contract and receives the Earnest Money, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this Contract (except as otherwise provided in this Contract) at law and in equity. Other than as set forth above, Buyer shall not have any claim for damages against any Seller Party as a result of any default or failure to perform by Seller or Seller's Agent prior to Closing which results in Closing not being consummated. Other than the failure to tender settlement on the Closing Date, which shall not require notice and an opportunity to cure, Seller shall be in default of this Contract only if Buyer has provided Seller with a written notice of the breach or failure which Buyer asserts constitutes a default of this Contract, describing same with reasonable specificity, and Seller fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Buyer.

        14.    BUYER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM.    If Buyer fails to perform this Contract when obligated to do so, the Earnest Money shall be paid to and retained by Seller as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages and as Seller's exclusive remedy for such failure to perform (it being agreed that the damages by reason of Buyer's default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain), and thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall be relieved from all liabilities and obligations under this Contract (except those which expressly survive termination of this Contract, or as otherwise provided in this Contract) at law and in equity. Other than the failure to tender settlement on the Closing Date, which shall not require notice and an opportunity to cure, Buyer shall be in default of this Contract only if Seller has provided Buyer with a written notice of the breach or failure which Seller asserts constitutes a default of this Contract, describing same with reasonable specificity, and Buyer fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Seller. The foregoing provision limiting Seller's remedy to the stated amount of liquidated damages shall not be construed to limit Seller's right to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant to Section 16, below, in the event it prevails in any legal action under this Contract, including a legal action to enforce the terms of this Section 14.

        15.    INDEMNITIES.    

            (a)  If and only if the Closing occurs, Goldstar shall, without any right of subrogation, contribution or any claim for reimbursement or similar right or claim against the Company (other than the right to require the Company to file and process claims under liability and/or other insurance policies in favor of the Company covering any of the following matters), indemnify and hold Buyer and the Company harmless from and against judgments, fines, penalties, settlement amounts, payments of amounts demanded, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs) and claims (collectively "Losses") which Buyer, or the Company, pay(s), or become(s) legally obligated to pay to third parties in connection with any proceeding arising out of or resulting from any or all of the following: (i) amounts due under or pursuant to the Service Contracts (and under any service contracts not reflected in Schedule 5(a)(vi)) accruing or attributable to any period prior to Closing, but excluding any termination fees or payments due to the service provider because of Buyer's direction to cancel a Service Contract as of Closing with respect to which a termination fee or payment applies; (ii) claims due to or arising out death or injury to persons, or damage to the property of third parties, which were sustained prior to the Closing as a result of, or alleged to have been sustained prior to the Closing as a result of, the operation, use, condition and/or upkeep of the Real Property prior to the Closing; (iii) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Contract; and (iv) any other liabilities of the Company attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, liability of the Company for federal, state or local income taxes, and property taxes attributable to such period(s), but excluding any liabilities for which Buyer receives a credit on the

16


    Closing Statement or which Buyer expressly assumes at Closing. The Goldstar's indemnity obligations under this Section 15(a) is referred to herein as "Goldstar's Indemnity."

            (b)  If and only if the Closing occurs, the Buyer and the Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold the Seller Parties harmless from and against any Losses which Seller pays, or becomes legally obligated to pay, to third parties in connection with any proceeding for which Goldstar is not obligated to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 15(a), and which arises out of, or results from any or all of the following: (i) amounts accruing under the Service Contracts; (ii) claims due to or arising out death or injury to persons, or damage to the property of third parties, which were sustained on or after the Closing as a result of, or alleged to have been sustained on or after the Closing as a result of, the operation, use, condition and/or upkeep of the Real Property on and after the Closing; (iii) the actions, conduct and/or omissions of the employees or agents of Buyer and/or the Company on and after Closing, (iv) any liabilities for which Buyer receives a credit on the Closing Statement or which Buyer expressly assumes at Closing; and (v) any other liabilities of the Company attributable to periods on and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, liability for federal, state or local income taxes, and property taxes attributable to such period(s).

            (c)  Regardless of whether the Closing occurs, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and the Company harmless from all Losses arising out of Buyer's inspections or examinations of the Real Property prior to Closing.

            (d)  Promptly after receipt by a party who is indemnified under this Section 15 (the "Indemnitee"), of notice of any proceeding, the Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made under this Section 15, notify the party who indemnified the Indemnitee under this Section 15 (the "Indemnitor") in writing, but the failure to so notify the Indemnitor will not relieve it from any liability which the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnitee unless the failure to notify materially impairs the ability of the Indemnitor to defend such proceeding. The Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense of any proceeding as to which it has indemnified an Indemnitee, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless the selection of counsel is determined under an applicable insurance policy, in which event such selection shall be made in accordance with such insurance policy). Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Indemnitor of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee, unless employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Indemnitor or its insurance carrier, or the Indemnitor has not in fact employed counsel who has assumed the defense of such action, in which case the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. Each Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the defense of any claims or actions as to which indemnification is given under this Section 15.

            (e)  In light of the fact that Losses being indemnified by Goldstar in Section 15(a) may arise from claims asserted against the Company for matters insured under insurance policies that insured the Company in effect prior to the Closing Date (and as to which only the Company may properly file a claim), the Company, as Indemnitee under Section 15(a), shall take all steps directed by Seller and/or Goldstar and necessary to ensure that claims are properly filed and prosecuted under the applicable insurance policy, including without limitation the execution and delivery of any filings or submissions directed by Seller and/or Goldstar and required pursuant to the terms of the applicable insurance policies, compliance with the requirements of such policies as they relate to the conduct or activities of the Company in relation to such claims, cooperation in discovery and the like.

17

        3.3.    Concerning the Mortgage Loan.    Purchaser acknowledges that the loans currently affecting and encumbering the Greens I Property are two separate loans secured by a single deed of trust (collectively, the "Existing Loan") made by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Lender") jointly to TRC I and TRC Pinnacle Towers, L.L.C. (an affiliate of TRC I) ["Pinnacle"], which loans also encumber certain property owned by Pinnacle (the "Pinnacle Towers Property"). The Pinnacle Towers Property is not a part of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement. The documents evidencing and/or securing the Existing Loan, as it relates to the Greens I Property (the "Existing Loan Documents"), are described on Exhibit F attached hereto, and Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers have delivered to Purchaser copies of the Existing Loan Documents. Seller agrees that in connection with its sale of all of TRC I's right, title and interest in and to the Greens I Property, it will cause the Existing Loan to be modified (and the Existing Loan Documents will be amended) [the "Existing Loan Modification"] to separate the Existing Loan into two separate loans secured by two separate deeds of trust, one of which applies to and is secured by the Pinnacle Towers Property and under which Pinnacle is the borrower, and the other of which applies to and is secured solely by the Greens I Property (the resultant loan affecting and encumbering solely the Greens I Property shall be referred to herein as the "Mortgage Loan"). Purchaser intends to create a single purpose Virginia limited liability company, the sole member of which shall be Corporate Office Properties Limited Partnership ("COPLP"), to take title to the Greens I Property and assume the Mortgage Loan ("Purchaser's Greens I Entity"). The Mortgage Loan shall have an initial outstanding principal balance of $16,000,000 as of the Closing Date, a fixed interest rate of not more than seven and ninety-five one hundredths percent (7.95%), an amortization period (for monthly payment purposes) of not less than twenty (20) years, and a maturity date not earlier than February 1, 2010 (the "Mortgage Loan Terms"). Purchaser agrees that the Existing Loan Documents shall be modified to conform to the Mortgage Loan Terms and to reflect other terms and conditions agreed upon by Lender and Purchaser. In connection with the Closing and Purchaser's Greens I Entity's assumption of the Mortgage Loan, (i) TRC I and Purchaser's Greens I Entity shall execute an assignment and assumption of the Mortgage Loan on a form reasonably acceptable to Lender and Purchaser, which shall contain Lender's consent to Purchaser's Greens I Entity's assumption of the Mortgage Loan and such customary estoppel statements by Lender as are

9


reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the "Loan Assignment, Assumption and Consent"); (ii) Purchaser's Greens I Entity shall execute the Loan Documents modified as set forth above; (iii) TRC I shall be released from all of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan, except for any liabilities and obligations of TRC I that expressly survive assignment, transfer or repayment of the Existing Loan (e.g., environmental indemnities); and (iv) Purchaser's Greens I Entity shall execute and deliver such other documents, instruments, certificates and/or legal opinions as may be reasonably required by the Lender in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Lender. As further set forth in Sections 11.6, the parties hereby agree that (A) Sellers shall pay (x) any and all fees and charges of Lender associated with the Existing Loan Modification and the Lender Approval, and (y) any and all loan transfer fees and debt assumption fees due to Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption (collectively, the "Debt Assumption Fee"); (B) Purchaser shall pay any and all fees charged by Lender in connection with the drafting and negotiating of the Loan Assignment, Assumption and Consent and the Loan Documents; and (C) each of Purchaser and Sellers shall pay their respective attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Section 3.3. The term "Purchaser" as used in this Agreement shall include the Purchaser's Greens I Entity and Purchaser's Designees.

            3.3.1.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in addition to Purchaser's termination rights set forth in Section 8.4.3, after receipt by Purchaser of the final drafts of the Loan Assignment, Assumption and Consent and the Loan Documents, Purchaser shall have a three (3) Business Day period to review the terms, conditions and provisions thereof (the "Loan Review Period"). If Purchaser determines within the Loan Review Period that it is not satisfied with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Assignment, Assumption and Consent and the Loan Documents, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Sellers within such three (3) Business Day period, in which event, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and no longer be of any force or effect, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except under written obligations set forth in this Agreement that expressly survive termination of this Agreement (collectively, the "Surviving Obligations").

        3.4.    Allocation.    The parties agree that the aggregate Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Greens I Property, the Greens II Property and the Greens III Property as follows:

            (1) The Greens I Property—$26,535,000

            (2) The Greens II Property—$20,033,033

            (3) The Greens III Property—$463,854

        Each respective Seller may allocate its allocable portion of the aggregate Purchase Price among its various components of the Property as such Seller may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser be obligated to confirm and/or administer the application of the Purchase Price among the Sellers, which allocation shall be the sole responsibility of the Sellers.

        4.    Escrow of Deposit.    

        4.1.    Escrow Agent.    The Initial Deposit shall be deposited with Escrow Agent as provided in Section 3.2.1 and shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent and disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.

            4.2.2.    If Closing is not held by reason of Purchaser's default, the Deposit shall be paid over to Sellers as provided in Section 19.2 below.

            4.2.3.    If Closing is not held by reason of Sellers' default, the Deposit shall be paid over to Purchaser as provided in Section 19.1 below.

            4.2.4.    If Closing is not held by reason of a failure of condition and not by reason of a default by Sellers or Purchaser hereunder, the Deposit shall be paid over to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and no longer shall be of any force or effect, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations.

        4.3.    Manner of Holding.    The Deposit shall be held in an interest bearing money-market account with a federally insured national or state-chartered bank, savings bank, or savings and loan association acceptable to and first approved by Sellers and Purchaser. Purchaser shall provide a completed and executed W-2 form to Escrow Agent.

        4.4.    Limitation of Liability.    Escrow Agent and its officers and employees are acting as agents only, and will in no case be held liable either jointly or severally to any party for the performance of any term or covenant of this Agreement or for damages for the non-performance hereof unless the same results from the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be required or obligated to determine any questions of fact or law. Escrow Agent's only responsibility hereunder shall be for the safekeeping of the Deposit and the full and faithful performance by Escrow Agent of the duties imposed by this Section 4.

        4.5.    Conflicting Demands.    Upon receipt of a written demand for the Deposit (a "Deposit Demand") by Sellers or Purchaser (the "Demanding Party"), Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy of such Deposit Demand to the other party (the "Non-Demanding Party"). Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit for five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery by Escrow Agent of the Deposit Demand to the Non-Demanding Party (the "Objection Period") or until Escrow Agent receives a confirming instruction from the Non-Demanding Party. In the event the Non-Demanding Party delivers to Escrow Agent written objection to the release of the Deposit to the Demanding Party (an "Objection Notice") within the Objection Period (which Objection Notice shall set forth the basis under this Agreement for objecting to the release of the Deposit), Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy of the Objection Notice to the Demanding Party. In the event no Objection Notice is received by Escrow Agent within the Objection Period, Escrow Agent shall promptly release the Deposit to the Demanding Party in accordance with the Deposit Demand. In the event of any dispute between the parties regarding the release of the Deposit, Escrow Agent, in its good faith business judgment, may disregard all inconsistent instructions received from either party and may either (1) hold the Deposit until the dispute is mutually resolved and Escrow Agent is advised of such mutual resolution in writing by both Sellers and Purchaser, or Escrow Agent is otherwise instructed by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (2) deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction by an action of interpleader (whereupon Escrow Agent shall be released and relieved of any further liability or obligations hereunder from and after the date of such deposit). In the event Escrow Agent shall in good faith be uncertain as to its duties or obligations hereunder or shall receive conflicting instructions, claims or demands from the parties hereto, Escrow Agent shall promptly notify both parties in writing and thereafter Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to refrain from taking any action other than (1) to perform its duties under Section 4.3 above, and (2) to keep safely the Deposit until Escrow Agent shall receive a joint written instruction from both parties clarifying Escrow Agent's uncertainty or resolving such conflicting instructions, claims or demands, or until a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction instructs Escrow Agent to act.

Sellers shall have the right at any time (either before or after the Closing) to substitute a Tenant Estoppel Certificate obtained from a Tenant with respect to any Lease for the corresponding Seller's Estoppel previously delivered by Sellers to Purchaser with respect to such Lease, so long as the Tenant Estoppel Certificate obtained confirms in all material respects the provisions of the corresponding Seller's Estoppel and does not materially vary from the information included in the Current Rent Rolls attached hereto as Exhibits C-1, C-2 and C-3, and the copies of the Leases delivered to Purchaser for its review as a part of the Seller Property Materials, or indicate defaults under the Lease to which such Tenant Estoppel Certificate relates.

        9.    Satisfaction or Failure of Conditions.    

        9.1.    Lender Approval.    

            9.1.1.    Sellers and Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to apply for and secure the Lender Approval. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser shall at its sole cost and expense

20


    promptly provide to Lender such financial and other information and assurances, and shall join in and execute such applications, assumptions and other documentation, as is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request or require in order fully to (a) secure the Lender Approval and (b) effect and evidence, including of record, the Loan Assumption, including, without limitation, providing to Lender Corporate Office Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("COPT") and/or COPLP, as a guarantor under the Mortgage Loan. Each party shall keep the other promptly and reasonably informed of its progress in applying for and securing such Lender Approval as aforesaid. In the event Purchaser is not deemed to be a creditworthy party by, or is otherwise not acceptable to, Lender, Purchaser shall cause an affiliate of Purchaser acceptable to Lender to guaranty all obligations under the Loan and otherwise assume the obligations of each guarantor under the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that no principal of Purchaser or any affiliate of purchaser shall be required to provide a personal guaranty of or in connection with the Mortgage Loan. If after the Termination Notice Date TRC I determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Lender will not grant the Lender Approval prior to the Outside Closing Date, Sellers may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement shall terminate and no longer shall be of any force or effect, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations. Purchaser and Sellers hereby acknowledge that Purchaser will present to Lender Purchaser's Greens I Entity as borrower under, and COPT as guarantor of, the Mortgage Loan.

        9.2.    Ground Lessor Approval.    Sellers shall use all reasonable efforts to apply for and secure the Ground Lessor Approvals, and upon Sellers' request, Purchaser shall reasonably and promptly cooperate, at no out of pocket cost to Purchaser, with Sellers' efforts to obtain such Ground Lessor Approvals. Such cooperation may include Purchaser providing to each Ground Lessor such financial and other information and assurances as may be reasonably requested by such Ground Lessor and joining in and executing such applications, assumptions and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, as each Ground Lessor may from time to time reasonably request or require in order fully to (a) secure the respective Ground Lessor Approval, and (b) effect and evidence, including of record, the respective Ground Lease Assignment to Purchaser or Purchaser's Designees (as defined below), including, without limitation, providing to each Ground Lessor either COPT and/or COPLP to assume all guaranteed obligations under the Greens III Ground Lease. If Sellers, in their reasonable discretion, that a Ground Lessor will not grant the Ground Lessor Approval, Sellers may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement shall terminate and no longer shall be of any force or effect, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations. Purchaser and Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Purchaser will create two (2) single purpose Virginia limited liability companies, the sole member of both of which shall be COPLP (each a "Purchaser's Designee," and collectively, "Purchaser's Designees"), to serve as lessees under the Ground Leases, and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure each respective Ground Lessor's approval of such Purchaser's Designees and of all the documentation necessary to effect the respective Ground Lease Assignment on or before the Termination Notice Date.

            9.2.1.    Except as set forth in Section 11.6, at the Closing, Sellers shall pay any and all costs, fees and charges associated with effecting the transactions contemplated under this Section 9.2, including, without limitation, the Ground Lease Assignments (collectively, the "Ground Lease Charges").

        9.3.    Failure by Reason of a Default.    If any condition required herein shall have failed by reason of a default or breach by a party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, then the aggrieved party shall be permitted and entitled to pursue the remedies available to it in the event of a default as set forth in Section 19 hereof.

        9.4.    Failure Without a Default.    If any condition required herein shall have failed not by reason of a default or breach by a party hereunder, then, unless such failure of condition is waived: (1) all Seller Property Materials delivered by Sellers to Purchaser shall be returned to Sellers, and if requested by Sellers, all Purchaser Property Materials in which Purchaser has a right and which Purchaser can reasonably obtain from the preparer thereof shall be delivered to Sellers (at no out of pocket cost to Purchaser) without any representation or warranty from Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no right or obligation to obtain any third party consents or approvals for Sellers to rely on such Purchaser Property Material; (2) upon satisfaction by Purchaser of the delivery requirements in clause (1) above, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; and (3) this Agreement shall terminate and no longer shall be of any force or effect, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations.

        9.5.    No Other Conditions.    It is expressly understood and agreed that the only conditions to the respective obligations of each Seller and Purchaser to consummate Closing hereunder are as set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, respectively. In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (1) each Seller is taking its component of the Property "off the market" during the executory period of this Agreement, and (2) in consideration of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to notify Sellers if the Due Diligence Condition will fail or is expected to fail, such notice to be given as promptly as possible after Purchaser determines in its absolute discretion that such condition will fail or is expected to fail (and Purchaser agrees not to delay giving such notice until the Termination Notice Date as above set forth). If Purchaser shall have given a notice contemplated by the foregoing clause (2) (and such notice is properly and timely given as required by Section 8.4.3), then the provisions in Section 9.4 above shall be fully applicable and this Agreement shall terminate as provided therein.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Closing does not occur by the Outside Closing Date through no fault of a party, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, and in the event of any such termination, this Agreement shall terminate and shall be canceled with no further liability of any party to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations. The Closing will take place at 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the Scheduled Closing Date, at the offices of Purchaser's counsel, Shaw Pittman LLP, 2300 N Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037, or at such other place as Sellers and Purchaser may mutually agree in writing, and in such a manner and at such time so that Sellers shall receive the full Purchase Price on the Closing Date by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) so that Sellers are able to deposit the Cash Component of the Purchase Price and receive interest on such deposit for the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Purchaser's indemnity obligations hereunder will not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Seller, and (ii) in no event shall such indemnification cover any indirect or consequential damages of any Seller, including, without limitation, lost profits.

            10.4.2.    Sellers' Indemnity.    Sellers hereby agree to indemnify Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity and Purchaser's Designees, as each of their respective interests may appear, against, and to hold Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity and Purchaser's Designees harmless from, all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) asserted against or incurred by Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees in connection with or arising out of (i) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any Insured Claim or Landlord Claim.

            10.4.3.    Assigned Contracts.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, by written agreement (the "Blanket Conveyances, Bills of Sale and Assignments"), the respective Sellers shall assign to Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, at Closing all of their right, title and interest in and to the Contracts Purchaser elects to assume pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof (the "Assigned Contracts"), and Purchaser's Greens I Entity or

25



    Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, shall assume and agree to perform each respective Seller's duties and obligations under all such Assigned Contracts accruing on and after the Closing Date. If the Assigned Contracts do not permit assignment to Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the parties to the Assigned Contracts to consent to such assignment to Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, at Closing, and failing such consent, those Assigned Contracts which are not assignable shall not be assigned to Purchaser and shall remain the responsibility of the respective Sellers.

        10.5.    Closing Statement.    At Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall execute and deliver one or more closing statements prepared by the Title Insurer and reasonably satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser (each a "Closing Statement"), which shall, among other items, set forth the Purchase Price, all credits against the Purchase Price, the amounts of all prorations and other adjustments to the Purchase Price and all disbursements made at Closing on behalf of Purchaser and Sellers.

        11.    Apportionments; Expenses.    

        11.1.    Apportionments Generally.    Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all expenses, charges and other obligations relating to the operation of the Property (including, without limitation, real estate taxes and expenses, charges and other obligations under the Leases, the Assigned Contracts, and the Ground Leases, specifically excluding, however, the Mortgage Loan, the Debt Assumption Fee and the Ground Lease Charges) shall be pro rated between Purchaser and the Sellers on a per diem basis as of 11:59 P.M. on the Pro Ration Date. For purposes of the pro rations contained in this Section 11, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property for the entire Closing Date. Whether amounts are allocable for the above purposes for the period before or after Closing shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles using the accrual method. In furtherance of the foregoing: (i) any bills, invoices or other payments that are apportionable hereunder and that are received by Sellers or Purchaser following Closing or otherwise become due following Closing, shall in the first instance be paid by Purchaser, and upon evidence of the payment thereof, the respective Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser its apportioned share thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, and (ii) any bills, invoices or other payments that relate to periods prior to Closing and are received by Sellers or Purchaser following Closing or otherwise become due following Closing, shall be sent to Sellers and shall be paid for promptly by the respective Seller when due.

        11.2.    Taxes.    All ad valorem real estate taxes, charges and assessments shall be prorated and apportioned between the respective Sellers and Purchaser at Closing on a per diem basis as of 11:59 P.M. on the Pro Ration Date, apportioned on the basis of the fiscal year of the authority or other person levying the same. If any of the same have not been finally assessed, as of the Closing Date, for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority or other person assessing or charging the same, then the same shall be adjusted appropriately at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills or assessments therefor, and shall be readjusted immediately when and if final bills are issued. To the extent there are any interest or penalties associated with the payment of any taxes, such interest and penalties shall be allocated to the party who is responsible for the payment of the tax generating such interest or penalty.

        11.3.    Utilities.    Charges for water, electricity, sewer rental, gas, telephone and all other utilities shall be pro rated on a per diem basis as of 11:59 P.M. on the Pro Ration Date, disregarding any discount or penalty and on the basis of the billing period of the authority, utility or other person

26



levying or charging for the same. If the consumption of any of the foregoing is measured by meters, then if possible and as an attempt to effectively allocate and apportion charges for such service, the respective Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a reading of each such meter on the Closing Date and determine the usage of such service as of 11:59 P.M. on the Pro Ration Date, and the respective Seller shall pay all charges thereunder through the date of the meter readings. If there is no such meter or if a reading is not taken as of the Pro Ration Date, or if the bills for any of the foregoing have not been issued prior to the date of the Closing, the charges therefor shall be adjusted at the Closing on the basis of charges for the prior period for which bills were issued and shall be further adjusted when the bills for the current period are issued. The respective Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate to cause the transfer of the Property's utility accounts from each respective Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, including the return to the applicable Seller of any deposits to utility companies previously made by such Seller (all of which deposits shall remain the property of such applicable Seller).

        11.4.    Rents.    All base rent, additional rent and other sums actually paid under the Leases (including, without limitation, amounts owed by Tenants at the Property as periodic estimates of the costs of utilities, insurance, maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses), shall be prorated and apportioned between the respective Sellers and Purchaser at Closing on a per diem basis as of 11:59 P.M. on the Pro Ration Date, provided that delinquent amounts shall not be considered in such calculation. After the Closing Date, payments of monthly base rent and other amounts due under the Leases received by Purchaser shall be applied, first, to current amounts due and owing, second, to past-due amounts owing and starting with the most recent delinquency, and third (if and to the extend not paid as a result of the foregoing), to past-due amounts unpaid for the period prior to the Closing Date, which amounts shall be payable to Sellers after deducting therefrom any of Purchaser's reasonable, out of pocket costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (provided that Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect such amounts using its in-house legal and other personnel). Purchaser will have no obligation to incur any cost or expense or institute any litigation to collect delinquent rents, percentage rents, or other costs or charges owed to Sellers, and Sellers will not exercise any right to collect such amounts unless Purchaser fails to use reasonable efforts to do so. If Purchaser fails to use reasonable efforts to collect such delinquent amounts, Sellers shall have the right to pursue all rights and remedies against the Tenants to recover any such delinquencies, except that Sellers shall not be entitled to threaten to dispossess such Tenants but may otherwise institute suit against any Tenant under the Leases. The provisions of this Section 11.4 shall survive Closing.

            (1)  Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all rents and other charges actually collected prior to Closing to the extent relating to any period after Closing.

            (2)  [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.]

            (3)  With respect to rents and other charges uncollected at Closing and owed by non-occupants of the Improvements at Closing for any period before Closing, Sellers shall retain all rights relating thereto (including the right to collect all such rents and charges), and Sellers shall receive no proration credits from Purchaser. All amounts collected by any Seller relating thereto shall be retained by Sellers, and all such amounts received by Purchaser with respect thereto shall be forthwith paid over to Sellers.

        11.5.    Security Deposits.    Each respective Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, at Closing, by adjustment entry on the Closing Statement delivered at Closing, the full amounts of all Security Deposits paid by the Tenants under the Leases and all advance rentals which may have been received from Tenants under the Leases, together with all accrued or required interest thereon which is or may become due to any Tenant under the provisions of any Lease or applicable law. In connection with the foregoing, each respective Seller shall

27


provide Purchaser with a certified schedule of such Security Deposits and advance rentals, which schedule shall set forth the name of each Tenant and the amount of its respective Security Deposit and advance rentals, and any interest on any thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Security Deposit held in the form of a letter of credit shall be replaced and reissued to Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, and delivered at Closing (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) to Purchaser, Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable, and there shall be no adjustment or credit on the Closing Statement in connection therewith.

Each respective Seller, in addition to such Seller's other expenses, shall be responsible for and shall pay: (i) costs incurred to repay any Monetary Liens encumbering its component of the Property (except liens securing the Mortgage Loan and which are intended to be assumed by Purchaser as provided for elsewhere herein) and to cure all other Mandatory Cure Items affecting its component of the Property; (ii) one half of all State and local recordation, transfer taxes and any sales taxes or fees imposed upon or payable based on the purchase and sale of the Property, including, without limitation, any recording charges incident to the recording of the Special Warranty Deed and the Ground Lease Assignments (or a memoranda thereof); (iii) any and all charges associated with the Existing Loan Modification and Loan Assumption allocated to Sellers pursuant to Section 3.3; (iv) the Ground Lease Charges; and (v) the Debt Assumption Fee.

        11.7.    Leasing Costs.    At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions shown on the Updated Exhibits G and Schedule 5.19, and Purchaser shall be responsible to timely pay and perform all such Tenant Inducement Costs and to pay such leasing commissions (including those items noted on the Updated Exhibits G and Schedule 5.19 as Purchaser's obligations), and shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless for any failure of Purchaser to so pay and perform such Tenant Inducement Costs and to pay such leasing commissions. In addition, subject to the limitations and provisions of Section 16.5 below, Purchaser shall be responsible for, and, if applicable, shall reimburse Sellers for all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions not shown on Updated Exhibits G and Schedule 5.19 which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) (a) as a result of any renewals or expansions of existing Leases approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 16.5 hereof and entered into between the date hereof and the Closing Date, (b) under any new Leases approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 16.5 hereof and entered into between the date hereof and the Closing Date, and (c) any and all renewals, extensions and/or expansions of any Leases after the Closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Sellers and Sellers' insurer(s), from time to time following Closing, at no out of cost to Purchaser, with respect to the defense of such Claims by Sellers.

        11.10.    Survival; Reconciliation. The obligations under this Section 11 shall survive Closing. To the extent that errors are discovered in, or additional information becomes available with respect to, the prorations and allocations made at Closing, Sellers and Purchaser agree to make such post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however, all prorations shall be final no later than ninety (90) days after Closing (except for prorations and allocations of (i) ad valorem taxes, which shall be finalized within thirty (30) days after receipt of the tax bill for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, (ii) tenant reimbursables, which shall be finalized within ninety (90) days after the reconciliations for calendar year 2002 have been completed (as described below), and (iii) prorations or allocations that are then currently in dispute, which shall be finalized when any such dispute is resolved).

29



be responsible for the commission due to Insignia/ESG, Inc as a result of the initial term of the Titan Corporation lease.

        12.    Damage or Destruction; Condemnation.    

        12.1.    Damage or Destruction.    If at any time prior to the Closing Date all or any material portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty and the cost of restoring such damage exceeds or is reasonably anticipated to exceed $2,000,000, or any Tenant under a Material Lease has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty and such Tenant has not waived such right in writing, or access to any Property is materially and adversely impaired, then, at the option of Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and shall be canceled with no further liability of any party to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. Sellers shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any casualty. The election to terminate provided for hereby must be exercised by Purchaser (or such right to terminate will be deemed to have been waived) by written notice to Sellers to that effect, which notice is received by Sellers on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day following Purchaser's receipt of written notice of a casualty permitting termination hereunder. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement or is deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement as provided above, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, provided the Closing occurs, Purchaser will be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds of any such casualty, and at Closing, the applicable Seller(s) will take all action necessary to assign its interest in any such proceeds to Purchaser, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible under such policy of insurance.

        12.2.    Condemnation.    Any Material Taking of all or any part of the Property between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date will, at the election of Purchaser, cause a termination of this Agreement. The election to terminate provided for hereby must be exercised by Purchaser (or such right to terminate will be deemed to have been waived) by written notice to Sellers to that effect, which notice is received by Sellers on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day following Purchaser's receipt of written notice of the Material Taking, and in the event of any such termination, this Agreement shall terminate and shall be canceled with no further liability of any party to any other, except for any Surviving Obligations, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement or is deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement as provided above, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, each Seller will be relieved of its duty to convey title to the portion so taken or condemned, and, provided the Closing occurs, Purchaser will be entitled to receive all proceeds of any such taking or condemnation, and in that event, at Closing, the applicable Seller will take all action necessary to assign its interest in any such award to Purchaser. Each Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any taking that is threatened in writing.

        12.3.    No Termination.    If there is partial or total damage or destruction or condemnation or taking, as above set forth, and if Purchaser elects not to terminate (or if Purchaser is deemed to have elected not to terminate) this Agreement as therein provided, then (1) this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Closing hereunder shall take place in accordance with such terms and without abatement to or other adjustment of the Purchase Price payable hereunder (except that the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible under any applicable policy of insurance); (2) all insurance and all condemnation proceeds paid or payable to the applicable Seller(s) shall be paid over and assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and the applicable Seller(s) shall further execute all assignments and any other documents or other instruments as Purchaser may reasonably request or as may be necessary to transfer all interest in all such proceeds to Purchaser or to whomever Purchaser shall direct; and (3) Purchaser shall take title to and possession of the Property at Closing in its condition at that time.

30



        13.    Title; Failure of Title; Examination of Title.    

        13.1.    Title.    The Property will be conveyed free and clear of all Liens, tenancies, leases, restrictions, encumbrances, charges, security interests, covenants and easements of every kind, except only Permitted Exceptions. Except for Permitted Exceptions, title to the Property will be good and marketable and such as will be insured by Title Insurer at the regular rates.

        13.2.    [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.]    

        13.3.    Examination of Title.    Purchaser shall obtain with respect to each Property a current commitment for title insurance (collectively, the "Commitment"), issued by the Title Insurer, agreeing to issue an ALTA-Form B (1992) owner's title insurance policy or equivalent form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser with respect to each Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property, dated as of the Closing Date, indicating title to the Property is vested in Purchaser (or Purchaser's Greens I Entity or Purchaser's Designees, as applicable) subject only to Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the "Title Policy"). Purchaser shall also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a new survey of each Property, or at Purchaser's election, Purchaser may obtain a recertification of the survey delivered to Purchaser by Sellers (in either case, collectively, the "Survey"). Purchaser will have until 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the Termination Notice Date to examine title to the Property and notify Sellers in writing of any objections to title which may be revealed by Purchaser's examination, including any objections to any of the Permitted Exceptions listed on Exhibit E (called herein the "Notice of Title Objections"). Purchaser will deliver to Sellers, promptly after its receipt by Purchaser, a copy of the Commitment, together with copies of all title exceptions shown or disclosed thereon, and a copy of the Survey. The Notice of Title Objections, if and when delivered by Purchaser to Sellers, shall enumerate with specificity all title exceptions or objections which are unacceptable to Purchaser (and all such title exceptions and objections which are not so enumerated as unacceptable to Purchaser shall be deemed to be acceptable, shall supplement the items listed on Exhibit E, and shall become Permitted Exceptions for all purposes of this Agreement). In the event that Purchaser fails to give a Notice of Title Objections on or before the Termination Notice Date, then such failure to timely notify Sellers will constitute a waiver of such right to object to any title defects, and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the purchase and sale contemplated hereby will be closed as herein provided, with Exhibit E, as well as all exceptions shown on Purchaser's Commitment, being deemed acceptable to Purchaser.

        13.4.    Cure of Title Objections.    If Purchaser has timely given a Notice of Title Objections as set forth above, Sellers will have the right, but not the obligation (unless otherwise expressly set forth below in this subsection), until on or before ten (10) calendar days after the date on which Purchaser delivered its Notice of Title Objections (the "Title Objection Date"), within which to cure any such objections. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, whether or not Purchaser objects to the same, the applicable Seller shall have an obligation (i) to pay (at or prior to Closing) any amount due in order to satisfy or remove from record title by bonding off or otherwise any Monetary Lien(s) voluntarily placed upon the Property by a Seller, and Sellers hereby irrevocably authorize Escrow Agent to deduct from the Purchase Price at Closing the amount necessary to pay off or discharge all such Monetary Liens, and (ii) other than for Permitted Exceptions, to cure and remove from record title (at or prior to Closing) all Liens and other title exceptions voluntarily created or filed against the Property by a Seller after the date of this Agreement and not consented to in writing by Purchaser (collectively, the "Mandatory Cure Items").

        13.5.    Purchaser's Right To Terminate.    If any such objection to title of which Sellers have been so notified on a timely basis is not so cured within the ten-day period set forth in Section 13.4 above, then Purchaser may, by written notice to Sellers within five (5) days after the expiration of such ten-day period, terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto will have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for any Surviving Obligations. With respect to Section 13.4 above and to the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.5, Sellers will be deemed to have cured a title defect within the ten-day Seller cure period as aforesaid if the applicable Seller shall have timely notified Purchaser in writing that the title objection of which it has notice will be cured at or prior to Closing (and the actual cure thereof will be a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to consummate Closing). Nothing set forth in this Section shall be deemed to limit Purchaser's remedies provided for in Section 19.1 for Sellers' breach of any of their obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, Sellers' obligation to cure all Mandatory Cure Items as provided in Section 13.4.

31

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein, neither any respective Seller nor any agent or representative of any such Seller has made, and Sellers are not liable for or bound in any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, promises, statements, inducements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or to any document referred to herein or in any Exhibit attached hereto (including, without limitation, any information contained in the informational brochure, package and related materials about the Property), or to any other matter or thing with respect to any of the foregoing, whether express or implied, or arising by operation of law; nor, except as expressly set forth herein, shall any adverse change in the Condition of the Property before the Closing Date give rise to any obligation on the part of Sellers or remedy on the part of Purchaser.

        16.    Undertakings by Seller and Purchaser.    

        16.1.    Property Management and Operations.    Subject to the provisions of Section 12 above, between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each respective Seller shall continue to operate and manage its component of the Property in a normal businesslike manner, consistent with prior practices, making all necessary and ordinary maintenance repairs resulting from the breakdown or improper functioning of a particular item or system which is required to keep the Property in substantially the same condition as of the date hereof, including ordering and maintaining on hand sufficient materials, supplies, fuel and other personal property necessary for the efficient operation and management of the Property through the Closing Date; provided that no Seller shall be obligated to perform any capital improvements. Each respective Seller shall maintain its existing hazard and liability insurance on the Property until the Closing Date. After the date hereof, no Seller shall extend, modify, renew, cancel, alter or otherwise enter into any Contracts affecting the Property which are not terminable upon thirty (30) days notice (or less) without Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Sellers shall not execute any other documents, agreements or instruments affecting title to the Property, or (to the extent within Sellers' control) otherwise allow or permit the imposition of any Liens or other encumbrances which affect title to the Property, without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval may be withheld in Purchaser's sole discretion (understanding that no response from Purchaser is a denial of its consent to such Lien or other encumbrance). Any request for Purchaser's consent pursuant to this Section 16.1 shall be in writing.

        16.2.    Contracts.    Before the expiration of the Termination Notice Date, Purchaser shall designate in writing to Sellers any Contracts Purchaser elects to assume. If no notice is sent, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all of the Contracts. Prior to or at Closing, Sellers shall take such necessary steps to terminate such Contracts Purchaser does not elect to assume effective as of the Closing Date in accordance with their respective terms (with the understanding that to the extent that any such Contracts can not be terminated by Closing, Purchaser shall remain liable under such Contracts until the first date on which the termination may become effective). Sellers shall be responsible for, and shall pay as of Closing, any cancellation charges or fees for termination of Contracts which Purchaser does not elect to assume. Those Contracts which Purchaser elects to assume shall be assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Blanket Conveyance, Bill of Sale and Assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Contracts which are not assignable shall not be assigned to Purchaser and shall remain the responsibility of the respective Sellers.

        16.3.    Estoppel Certificates.    Sellers shall request in writing and deliver to Purchaser not later than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, (A) from each Tenant at the Property, a "Tenant Estoppel Certificate" (herein so called) addressed to Purchaser substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q or such other form that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, (B) from the Association, a certificate executed by the Association stating whether the assessments and charges against the Property required to be paid under the Declaration have been paid, an "Association Estoppel" (herein so called), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R or such other form that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the Association, and (C) from each Ground Lessor, an "Ground Lessor Estoppel" (herein so called; collectively "Ground Lessor Estoppels") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S or such other form that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and each Ground Lessor. Prior to delivering the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to any Tenant, the Association Estoppel to the Association, or the Ground Lessor Estoppel to any Ground Lessor, Sellers shall provide Purchaser three (3) Business Days to review the content of such Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Association Estoppel and Ground Lessor Estoppels and to respond to Sellers with noted discrepancies between (i) the Current Rent Rolls attached hereto as Exhibits C-1, C-2 and C-3 and the documents provided to Purchaser as a part of the Seller Property Materials pursuant to Section 8.4.1 and (ii) the Tenant Estoppel Certificates, the Association Estoppel and Ground Lessor Estoppels. Any

35



comments Purchaser may have to any of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates, the Association Estoppel and/or Ground Lessor Estoppels shall be specific, shall be in writing and shall be delivered to Sellers (if at all) prior to the expiration of such three (3) Business Day period; any Tenant Estoppel Certificate, the Association Estoppel and/or any Ground Lessor Estoppel on which Purchaser shall fail to so deliver to Sellers written specific comments within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed to have been approved by Purchaser.

        16.4.    [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]    

        16.5.    Leases.    Between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date,, Sellers shall not (and shall have no obligation to) enter into any new Leases, or extend or renew any existing Leases (other than pursuant to an option contained in a Lease that shall have been exercised by the Tenant), at the Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). During the same period, Sellers (i) shall perform all obligations of landlord or lessor under the Leases, including any condition for a Tenant's or lessee's occupancy of the Property, and (ii) shall not (A) apply any Security Deposits to amounts due under the Leases (except as may be permitted by a Lease), (B) dispossess or threaten to dispossess any Tenant, or (C) institute suit against any Tenant. In addition, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser copies of any notice of default delivered to or received from Tenants in connection with the Leases between the date of this Agreement and the Closing.

        16.6.    Access.    Each Seller shall permit Purchaser and Purchaser's agents and other representatives to enter upon its component of the Property from time to time, during normal business hours, after reasonable prior oral notice to Sellers (i.e., not less than twenty-four (24) hours) and at Purchaser's own risk and expense, for the purpose of making such examinations, tests and inspections as are necessary or desirable, including the Inspections. In no event shall any such access interfere with the occupancy or rights of any Tenant (with respect to which Purchaser acknowledges that there may exist certain Tenant "restricted areas" to which Purchaser will not be permitted access) or cause any damage to the Property or any portion thereof. Purchaser, at its own cost and expense (1) shall repair any damage caused thereby and restore the Property to its condition prior to such access, (2) shall provide Sellers with evidence of insurance, with limits of coverage and from an insurer reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, naming Sellers as additional insureds for any loss, damage, claims or liability suffered by any Seller or by or to any portion of the Property resulting from any of the activities permitted in this Section 16.6 (such evidence of insurance to be provided to Sellers prior to the commencement of any such activities and to be maintained by Purchaser until Closing hereunder or earlier termination of this Agreement), and (3) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller and each Seller's respective officers, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates, from any and all damages, losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by such Seller by reason of any of the activities permitted under this Section 16.6, including, without limitation, damage to property or injury to Persons caused by Purchaser or Purchaser's agents in exercising its rights under this Section 16.6. For access to the Property permitted hereby, Purchaser shall be permitted to notify John M. Adderly, Jr. (by telephone at 215-563-3558) of its desire to enter the Property. Purchaser's right of access as aforesaid shall be further subject to the following: (i) each such access shall be subject to the prior approval of Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and at Sellers' election, Purchaser and any of Purchaser's representatives shall be accompanied by a representative of Seller; and (ii) all exanimations, tests and inspections of the Property shall be conducted at such times and in such a manner as to minimize interference with, and to reasonably avoid disturbance to, the ongoing operation, management and leasing operations of the Property and the full use, benefit and enjoyment of the Property by any Tenant. The right of access granted in this Section 16.6 shall extend from the date hereof until Closing hereunder or earlier termination of this Agreement. Purchaser's restoration and indemnification obligations under this Section 16.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement,

36



and Purchaser's indemnification obligations under this Section 16.6 shall survive Closing and shall be considered "Surviving Obligations".

        16.7.    Further Assurances.    In addition to the obligations required to be performed hereunder by Purchaser and the respective Sellers at Closing, Purchaser and Sellers agree to perform such other acts, and execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments, documents and other materials as Purchaser or a Seller may reasonably request of each other and a shall be necessary in order to effect consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        16.8.    Good Faith Efforts.    Sellers and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to consummate the Closing and fulfill each of the conditions thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser shall each employ commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to secure (i) the Lender Approval; and (ii) the Ground Lessor Approvals.

        16.9.    Existing Loan.    Between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, TRC I shall make all payments of principal and interest required by the Existing Loan to be made prior to Closing and perform all of the obligations, terms and provisions thereof on the part of the TRC I to be performed. Further, TRC I shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Pinnacle performs and does not default in its obligations under the Existing Loan Documents (including, without limitation, ensuring that Pinnacle makes all payments of principal and interest required by the Existing Loan to be made by Pinnacle prior to the Excising Loan Modification).

        16.10.    Ground Leases.    Between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, TRC II and TRC III shall perform all of their respective obligations under the Ground Leases, including making any and all payments required thereunder.

        17.    Assignability.    

        17.1.    Purchaser shall not assign or transfer any portion or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other individual, entity or other person without the express written consent thereto in writing by Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right, without Sellers' prior written consent, to assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to (i) COPT, (ii) COPLP or (iii) Affiliates of Purchaser, COPT or COPLP in which either COPT or COPLP shall have at least a ten percent (10%) equity ownership interest; provided in all cases that (a) Lender and each Ground Lessor approves such assignment, in writing, and (b) Sellers first receive written notice of the assignment(s) and that the assignee(s) thereunder have thereupon agreed to and assumed all of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement.

        17.2.    Upon any assignment permitted as aforesaid or any other assignment expressly consented to in writing by Sellers, such assignees shall be deemed to be Purchaser hereunder with respect to the component of the Property to be acquired by each such assignee for all purposes hereof and shall have all the rights and obligations of Purchaser hereunder with respect to such component of the Property, provided that, and notwithstanding any such assignment, the presently identified and named Purchaser hereunder shall in any case remain fully and primarily responsible and obligated for all obligations, responsibilities and other undertakings of any such successor "Purchaser," under this Agreement.

        18.    Brokers.    The parties acknowledge that Purchaser has engaged CB Richard Ellis ("CB") to assist Purchaser in connection with a purchase of the Property. Pursuant to a separate written agreement with CB, Sellers agree to pay the commission due to CB as a result of a sale of the Property to Purchaser. Each party represents and warrants to the other that, other than with respect to CB, it has not made any agreement or taken any action which may cause any person to become entitled to a commission or other compensation as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser shall each indemnify and defend the other from any and all Claims, actual or threatened, for any such fee, commission or other compensation by any third person other than CB

37



with whom such party has had dealings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

        19.    Defaults Prior to Closing.    

        19.1.    Default by Seller.    Should Sellers violate or fail (in breach of its obligations hereunder) to fulfill or perform any of the terms, conditions or undertakings set forth in this Agreement applicable to them at or prior to Closing, then in such case Purchaser shall, as its sole remedy therefor, have the option of (1) specifically enforcing this Agreement, or (2) terminating this Agreement; and in the latter event, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser's documented, third-party, out of pocket due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such expenses not to exceed $75,000), and this Agreement shall terminate, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for the Surviving Obligations. Purchaser further agrees, as part of the consideration for Sellers entering into this Agreement, that Purchaser will not, under any circumstances except Sellers' willful refusal to convey the Real Estate at Closing, place or attempt to place a lis pendens on the Real Estate or any part thereof; and any violation of this covenant by Purchaser shall constitute a default hereunder. The provisions of this Section 19.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

        19.2.    Default by Purchaser.    The parties agree that if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to purchase the Property, it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of the actual damage to the Sellers resulting from such default. Thus the parties hereby agree that should Purchaser violate or fail (in breach of its obligations hereunder) to fulfill or perform any of the terms, conditions or undertakings set forth in this Agreement applicable to it at or prior to Closing, then in such case (1) Sellers shall, as their sole remedy therefor, be paid and delivered the Deposit as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) for such breach as full, complete and final damages in respect thereof, (2) all Seller Property Materials, if any, delivered by any Seller to Purchaser shall be returned to Sellers, and all Purchaser Property Materials in which Purchaser has a right and which Purchaser can reasonably obtain from the preparer thereof shall be delivered to Sellers (at no out of pocket cost to Purchaser) without any representation or warranty from Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no rights or obligations to obtain any third party consent or approvals for Sellers to rely on such Purchaser Property Materials, and (3) upon satisfaction by Purchaser of the delivery requirements in clause 19.2.(2) above, this Agreement shall terminate, and no party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other, except for the Surviving Obligations. The provisions of this Section 19.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

        20.    Section 1031 Exchange of Property.    Purchaser acknowledges that one or more of the Sellers may enter into one or more separate exchange agreements with a qualified "Intermediary" in order to effect the transfer of its respective component of the Property and the acquisition by such Seller(s) of certain "Replacement Property" as a like-kind exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing: (1) each Seller shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to the selected Intermediary (but such Seller will remain obligated for all of its agreements and other undertakings hereunder), and (2) at the request of one or more Sellers from time to time, Purchaser will reasonably cooperate with such Seller(s) and with the selected Intermediary in order to effect the intended like-kind exchange contemplated by the foregoing; provided that: (a) in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser incur any additional out of pocket expense or liability as a result of such like-kind exchange (Sellers being in all events responsible for all additional out of pocket costs and expenses related to the like-kind exchange), and Sellers shall fully indemnify Purchaser for all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with effectuating such like-kind exchange (the costs and expenses so to be indemnified are not intended to extend to Purchaser's "overhead" expenses or routine and customary costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in

38



cooperating with Sellers to effectuate the same, nor are they intended to extend to Purchaser's incidental counsel fees incurred in connection with such cooperation), (b) Purchaser shall not (i) be obligated to take title to any other property (including any so-called "Replacement Property"), or (ii) be required to execute any note or other instrument providing for personal or other liability, or to assume any indebtedness encumbering any real property, (c) in no event shall the foregoing affect in any manner any Seller's or Purchaser's obligations or Purchaser's rights and benefits under this Agreement, (d) it is expressly understood that the consummation by a Seller or ability by a Seller to consummate a like-kind exchange as aforesaid is not a condition precedent to any Seller's obligation to consummate Closing under this Agreement, and (e) in no event whatsoever shall the Closing be delayed because of any delay in the closing of the like-kind exchange.

        21.    Miscellaneous.    

        21.1.    Computation of Time.    In computing any period of time pursuant to this Agreement, the date of the act, default or other event from which the designated period of time begins to run (for example, the "execution date of this Agreement") will not be included. The last day of the period so computed will be included unless it is not a Business Day, in which event the period runs until the end of the next following day which is a Business Day.

        21.2.    Time of the Essence.    All times, wherever specified herein, are of the essence of this Agreement.

        21.3.    Knowledge of the Sellers.    Whenever this Agreement refers to the "knowledge" or the "actual knowledge" of a Seller or Sellers, it shall mean and be limited to the actual knowledge, without the requirement of any inquiry or investigation, of David B. Rubenstein, John M. Adderly, Jr. and Marc Bing-Zaremba (the property manager for the Property).

        21.4.    Recording.    This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the real estate records of Fairfax County, Virginia or any other office or place of public record, except as may be necessary in connection with an action by a party to enforce its rights hereunder. If Purchaser shall record this Agreement or cause or permit the same to be recorded in violation of the foregoing restriction, Sellers, at Sellers' option, may declare Purchaser in default hereunder and in addition to Sellers' other rights and remedies, shall have the right forthwith to institute appropriate legal proceedings to have the same removed of record at Purchaser's expense.

        21.5.    Governing Laws; Parties at Interest.    This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to Section 17 hereof, their respective heirs, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

        21.8.    Waiver.    Failure of either Purchaser or any Seller to exercise any right given hereunder, or to insist upon strict compliance with regard to any term, condition or covenant specified herein, shall not constitute a waiver of Purchaser's or any Seller's right to exercise such right or to demand strict compliance with any other term, condition or covenant under this Agreement.

        21.9.    Exhibits.    All Exhibits which are referred to herein and which are attached hereto or bound separately and initialed by the parties are expressly made and constitute a part of this Agreement.

        21.10.    Entire Agreement; Amendments.    This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained herein and except for that certain Confidentiality Letter Agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement") between TRCLP and Corporate Office Properties, and except for that certain Indemnity Agreement, dated May 28, 2002, between Sellers and Purchaser.

        21.12.    Dispute.    In the event of any dispute between the parties hereto regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such dispute, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such dispute.

        21.16.    Severability.    No determination by any court, governmental body or otherwise that any provision of this Agreement or any amendment hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other such provision or such provision in any circumstance not controlled by such determination.

The provisions in this Section 22 are supplemental to (and do not diminish or supersede) the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
