                  (b) those restrictions, covenants, agreements, easements, and
other matters affecting title to the Property as set forth in the Title
Commitment (as defined in Section 3.2), provided same do not impair the use of

                  (c) any and all laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules,
regulations, requirements, or executive mandates affecting the Property as of
the date hereof, except for engineering or institutional controls (including,

the Property; and

                  (d) the state of facts shown by that certain survey dated
January 13, 1999, prepared by Ward Carpenter Engineers Inc., together with any
state of facts disclosed by an update of such survey (said update to be ordered

         3.2      Mack-Cali shall cause any title company licensed to do
business in the State of New York (the "TITLE COMPANY") to prepare a title
search and commitment for a leasehold insurance policy (the "TITLE COMMITMENT")
and shall cause a copy of the same to be delivered to counsel for RM Eastview.
If any defects, objections or exceptions in the title to the Property appear in
the Title Commitment (other than the Permitted Encumbrances) which Mack-Cali is
not required to accept under the terms of this Agreement, RM Eastview agrees to
use good faith efforts to cure the same prior to the Closing, and in any event
to cure, at its expense, the following: (a) judgments against RM Eastview, (b)
leasehold mortgages and other liens which can be satisfied by the payment of a
liquidated amount, and (c) defects, objections or exceptions which can be
removed by payments not to exceed, in the aggregate, three (3%) percent of the
Consideration. RM Eastview, in its discretion, may adjourn the Closing for up to
sixty (60) days in order to eliminate unacceptable defects, objections or
exceptions. If, after complying with the foregoing requirements, RM Eastview is
unable to eliminate all unacceptable defects, objections or exceptions in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before such adjourned date for

notice given to the RM Eastview, in which event the provisions of Section 3.5

objections or exceptions with no credit against or reduction in the
Consideration. RM Eastview agrees and covenants that it shall not voluntarily
place any defects, objections or exceptions to title to the Property from and
after the date of the first issuance of the Title Commitment for the Lease.

         3.3      (a) It shall be a condition to Closing that RM Eastview

delivery of the Assignment as defined in Section 8.2(a), by a standard leasehold
fee insurance policy, with endorsements as may be available and are required by
Mack-Cali, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other matters, other
than the Permitted Encumbrances (the "TITLE POLICY"). The Title Company shall
provide affirmative insurance that (i) none of the Permitted Encumbrances have
been violated, and that any future violation thereof will not result in a
forfeiture or reversion of leasehold title, (ii) Mack-Cali's contemplated use of
the Property will not violate the Permitted Encumbrances; and (iii) the
exception for taxes shall apply only to the current taxes not yet due and
payable as of the Closing Date.

                  (b) RM Eastview shall provide such affidavits (including title

Company may require. In addition, if the Title Commitment discloses judgments,
bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having names the same as or
similar to that of RM Eastview, RM Eastview shall, upon request, deliver to the
Title Company affidavits showing that such judgments, bankruptcies or other
returns are not against RM Eastview or any of its affiliates. Upon request by
Mack-Cali, RM Eastview shall deliver any affidavits and documentary evidence as
reasonably required by the Title Company to eliminate the standard or general
exceptions in the Title Policy.

                  (c) The words "insurable title" and "insurable" as used in
this Agreement are hereby defined to mean title, which is insurable at standard
rates (without special premium) by the Title Company without exception other
than the Permitted Encumbrances and the standard printed policy and survey
exceptions.

         3.4      Any unpaid taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments,
  together with the interest and penalties thereon, to a date not less than
  seven (7) business days following the Closing Date (in each case subject to
  any applicable apportionment), together with the cost of recording or filing
  of any instruments necessary to discharge such liens and such judgments, shall
  be paid at the Closing by RM Eastview. On the Closing Date, RM Eastview shall
  deliver to Mack-Cali instruments in recordable form sufficient to discharge
  any liens which RM Eastview is obligated to pay and discharge pursuant to the
  terms of this Agreement.

         3.5      If RM Eastview is unable to assign the Lease in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, then Mack-Cali shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement. In such event, neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations hereunder other than those which are expressly stated
herein to survive any such termination, and RM Eastview shall reimburse
Mack-Cali for all charges incurred by reason of (a) examining the title to the
Property, (b) any appropriate additional municipal searches made in accordance
with this Agreement, and (c) the survey and survey inspection charges, which
reimbursement obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  (b) This Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, will be
the legal, valid and binding obligation of Mack-Cali, enforceable in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The performance by Mack-Cali of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the documents and instruments to be

breach of, or default under, any provision of any of the organizational
documents of Mack-Cali or any agreements, instruments, decrees, judgments,
injunctions, orders, writs, laws, rules or regulations, or any determination or
award of any court or arbitrator, to which Mack-Cali is a party or by which its
assets are or may be bound.

         5.2      All representations and warranties made by Mack-Cali in this
Agreement shall not be merged in the delivery of the Assignment and shall
survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year. From and after the
Closing, Mack-Cali agrees to indemnify and defend RM Eastview, and to hold RM
Eastview harmless, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses,
deficiencies and damages as well as reasonable expenses (including attorney's,
consulting and engineering and other professional and expert fees), and interest
and penalties related thereto, incurred by RM Eastview, by reason of or
resulting from any breach, inaccuracy, incompleteness or nonfulfillment of the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Mack-Cali contained in
this Agreement.

         5.3      RM Eastview acknowledges that it is not in a significantly
disparate bargaining position with respect to Mack-Cali in connection with the

                  (a) RM Eastview shall not defer taking any actions or spending
any of its funds or otherwise manage the Property differently (other than in the
ordinary course of business) on account of the pending assignment of its
leasehold interest to Mack-Cali.

                  (b) RM Eastview shall, at its sole cost and expense and in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Mack-Cali, take such action as may be
necessary (including but not limited to subdivision of the Land) to cause the

surveyor to update the survey as of the Closing Date, and (iii) have the general
survey exception removed from the Title Policy and the survey affirmatively

nature whatsoever with respect to the Property or further modify any terms in
the Ground Lease or the Lease without Mack-Cali's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  (d) RM Eastview shall not cause or permit its leasehold
interest in the Property to be alienated, mortgaged, licensed, encumbered or
otherwise transferred.

                  (e) RM Eastview shall make all required payments under any

                  (f) Up to and including the Closing Date, RM Eastview shall
maintain and keep such hazard, liability and casualty insurance policies in full
force and effect in such amounts and covering such risks sufficiently to protect
the Property and to protect, to a reasonable and prudent extent, the owner of
the Property, in such amounts as are required so as not to be deemed a
co-insurer, and for actual replacement cost, against any loss, damage, claim or
liability.

                  (g) All violations of statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders, codes, directives or requirements affecting the Property,
whether or not such violations are now noted in the records of or have been
issued by any Governmental Authorities (other than those caused by the actions
of Mack-Cali or its employees, affiliates or agents or the employees or agents
of its affiliates) shall be complied with by RM Eastview (if RM Eastview shall
be the party responsible for such compliance under the Ground Lease or
otherwise) prior to the Closing, and RM Eastview's leasehold interest in the

cooperate with Mack-Cali in all reasonable respects in connection with the
