INC., a New Jersey corporation ("FLIP"); MBP/BRE, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited
liability company ("MBP"); OIP/BRE, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability

individually referred to as "Seller"), and FAWN REALTY L.L.C., a New Jersey
limited liability company ("Fawn")and CK BERGEN ASSOCIATES, L.L.C. ("CK") (Fawn
and CK shall collectively be referred to as "Buyer").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

         WHEREAS, on the date hereof, NJA has entered into a separate agreement
with Fawn to sell and convey to Fawn, INTER ALIA, certain property ("Little Pool
Properties") as more fully described in Exhibit A attached thereto (the "Little
Pool Agreement") (the Little Pool Agreement is incorporated herein and attached
hereto as Exhibit 1); and

         WHEREAS, on the date hereof, FLIP, MBP, OIP and NJA/BRE have entered
into a separate agreement to sell and convey to CK, INTER ALIA, certain property
("Big Pool Properties") as more fully described in Exhibit A attached thereto
(the "Big Pool Agreement") (the Big Pool Agreement is incorporated herein and
attached hereto as Exhibit 2).

         NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

         1. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated into this Agreement
and made a part hereof as if set forth at length herein.

         2. The parties agree and understand that the sale and conveyance from
Seller to Buyer of the Little Pool Properties pursuant to the Little Pool
Agreement shall occur simultaneously with the sale and conveyance from Seller to
Buyer of the Big Pool Properties pursuant to the Big Pool Agreement.

         3. The parties agree and understand that Seller shall not be obligated
to convey to Buyer and Buyer shall not be entitled to purchase the Big Pool
Properties until such time as Seller has conveyed and Buyer has purchased the
Little Pool Properties and that Seller shall not

be obligated to convey to Buyer and Buyer shall not be entitled to purchase the
Little Pool Properties until such time as Seller has conveyed and Buyer has
purchased the Big Pool Properties.

         4. Buyer and Seller agree that a default under the Little Pool
Agreement shall constitute a default under the Big Pool Agreement and that a
default under the Big Pool Agreement shall constitute a default under the Little
Pool Agreement.

         5. In the event of default under either the Little Pool Agreement or
the Big Pool Agreement, the Escrowee (as such term is defined in either the Big
Pool Agreement or the Little Pool Agreement, as the case may be), upon notice
from Seller, shall immediately deliver to Seller the respective Deposits (as
respectively defined in the Little Pool Agreement and the Big Pool Agreement) as
provided in Paragraph 21 of each of the respective agreements.

         6. In the event any of the Seller's or Buyer's rights to extend the
Closing Date are exercised in accordance with Paragraph 3 of the Big Pool
Agreement, such extensions shall also apply to the Closing Date set forth in
Paragraph 3 of the Little Pool Agreement. In addition, in the event that the Big
Pool Agreement Lender does not approve the Big Pool Agreement's Buyer's
assumption of the Existing Loan (as defined in the Big Pool Agreement) or agree
to release Seller pursuant to Paragraph 10(b)(iii) of the Big Pool Agreement,
then either party may terminate both Agreements and the Deposits shall be paid
to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender under the Big
Pool Agreement requires, as a condition of its approval of the assumption of the
Loan, that Buyer assume or replace the existing McBride guaranty to Lender, then
Buyer can terminate both Agreements and in such case the Deposits shall be paid
to Buyer

         7. Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 10(a)(iii) of the Big Pool
Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall deliver Tenant Estoppel Certificates
signed by all tenants occupying at least fifteen (15%) percent of their
respective building in the event the Buyer's additional lender/equity
participant requires such certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event Seller is unable to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates from any of the
tenants at 1701 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and any two of the
following four tenants: (a) Road-Con Systems, (b) New Jersey Bell, (c) Greentree
Learning Centers and (d) Stratton Travel, then Seller may deliver Tenant
Estoppel Certificates signed by the Seller for such tenants.

         8. Buyer and Seller agree that for purposes of Section 14(c) of both
the Little Pool Agreement and the Big Pool Agreement, the $6,000,000.00
threshold shall apply to fire or other casualty to the collective Premises,
which includes all twelve properties which are the subject of both agreements.

         9. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties, their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted
assigns.

         10. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New Jersey.

                                      -2-

         11. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall together
constitute both one and the same.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending legally to be bound, have
executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

termination, (ii) participation in the life, accident and health insurance plans
of the Company for such period except to the extent such benefits are provided
by a subsequent employer and (iii) in certain circumstances, legal costs and
expenses associated with such termination.
