to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited
for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time.
Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a
preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Purchaser and submitted to
Seller for Seller's approval prior to the Closing Date (the "CLOSING
STATEMENT"). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by
Purchaser

                                       10

and Seller. The proration herein contemplated shall be paid at Closing by
Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to
Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net
credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by
Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts
of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will
be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter,
when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the
actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and
Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and
Seller's insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.

      SECTION 10.6 ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE. In addition to the Prorated
Items, in the event the total amount of financing obtained by Seller for the
construction of the Improvements (the "CONSTRUCTION FINANCING") is greater than
the Purchase Price, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to
the difference between the Construction Financing and the Purchase Price.
Conversely, if the Construction Financing is less than the Purchase Price, the
Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the
Construction Financing and the Purchase Price.

      SECTION 10.7 DELIVERY OF PROPERTY. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller
will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property and the Land, subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions.

      SECTION 10.8 CLOSING COSTS. Closing costs incurred in connection with the
Closing will be allocated as follows:

                  (a) Seller shall pay all New York real estate transfer tax
fees due in connection with the Closing.

                  (b) Purchaser shall pay Seller's attorney's fees.

                  (c) Purchaser shall pay the costs of recording any instruments
required in connection with the Closing and Purchaser's attorney's fees.

                  (d) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for

accordance with the custom of Westchester County, New York.

                  (e) If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing
Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of
termination will be borne by the party incurring same.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 14.1 WAIVERS. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or
provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained
herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be
deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.

      SECTION 14.2 RECOVERY OF CERTAIN FEES. In the event a party hereto files
any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any
of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in

clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing
services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred
in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any

judgment.

agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term,
condition, obligation and provision hereof.

      SECTION 14.4 CONSTRUCTION. Headings at the beginning of each article and
section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this
Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will
include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa.
This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the
parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits and
schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this
reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not
defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such
term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which Purchaser or
Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a
Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.

      SECTION 14.5 COUNTERPARTS. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when
assembled to include an original signature for each party contemplated to sign
this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such
fully executed original counterparts will collectively constitute a single
agreement.

      SECTION 14.6 SEVERABILITY. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law
or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
adverse manner to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties
hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable
manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the
extent possible.

      SECTION 14.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is the final expression of,
and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings with respect
thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or
terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written
instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in
writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

      SECTION 14.9 NO RECORDING. The parties hereto agree that neither this
Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded and any recording of

instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry
out the provisions of this Agreement.

      SECTION 14.11 NO OTHER INDUCEMENTS. The making, execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the parties hereto has been induced by no representations,
statements, or warranties except as set forth herein.

      SECTION 14.12 EXHIBITS. Exhibits A through C attached hereto are
incorporated herein by reference.

      SECTION 14.13 NO PARTNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the
parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the
parties to merely create the relationship of seller and purchaser with respect
to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.

      SECTION 14.14 LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS. It is the explicit intention of
Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller
and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any
action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties
hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this
Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by,
Purchaser and Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted
hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances
whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party
a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or
document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject
any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

                      AGREEMENT OF SALE AND ACQUISITION OF
                       BENEFICIAL AND EQUITABLE OWNERSHIP
                           INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY

standing under the laws of the State of New York ("PURCHASER") having an address

      WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase and Seller desires to sell,
transfer and convey all of Seller's beneficial and equitable rights and interest
in and to approximately 4.239 acres of vacant land (the "Land") being a part of
certain real property known as 75 Clearbrook Road, Elmsford, New York (the "75
Clearbrook Property") in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement;

      WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that pursuant to that certain
Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") dated January

Realty Corporation), Seller agreed among other things to convey to MCRLP in
exchange for the consideration specified in the Contribution Agreement, all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to a portion of the 75 Clearbrook
Property which had been developed and both was and remains adjacent to the Land
(the "Developed Property"), and due to the lack of any legally effective
subdivision or plan of subdivision of the 75 Clearbrook Property separating the
Land from the Developed Property, Seller was compelled to transfer legal title
to the entire 75 Clearbrook Property, including the portion thereof constituting
the Land, in order to convey all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Developed Property to MCRLP;

      WHEREAS, the parties to the Contribution Agreement did not intend MCRLP to
acquire ownership of or, any beneficial or equitable interest or rights in or
to, the Land, and in accordance with such intention Seller and MCRLP agreed and
provided in the Contribution Agreement, that Seller retained all of the
beneficial interests rights in and to the Land and remained the beneficial owner
thereof and that MCRLP had no beneficial, equitable or other interests or rights
in the Land whatsoever other than mere legal title thereto, which was acquired
and was to be held by MCRLP solely in its capacity as agent and nominee of
Seller, for the sole and absolute benefit of Seller (which for all periods from
the date of execution of the Contribution Agreement until the date and time
hereof has been and continues to be the sole and absolute beneficial owner of
the Land);

<Page>

      WHEREAS, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, MCRLP, for all periods
from the time of execution of such agreement until the date and time hereof, has
adhered to the terms to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, and has served
and acted as Seller's agent and nominee for the sole and limited purpose of
acquiring and holding bare legal title to the Land for the sole and absolute
benefit of Seller and has taken only such actions with respect to such Land
during such periods as Seller has directed;

      WHEREAS, MCRLP is required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement and
has acknowledged and renewed its obligation to continue to act as Seller's agent
and nominee for the foregoing such limited purpose for all periods following the
date hereof up and to the moment of closing of the sale and conveyance of
Seller's beneficial interests and rights in and to the Land pursuant to this
Agreement and to act only in accordance with Seller's directions during such
period.
