6 o JOSEPH E. MURRAY, of full age, in lieu of affidavit hereby certifies as follows: 1. I am an attorney at law of the State of New Jersey and a member of the firm of McDonough, Murray & Korn, P. A., attorney for the plaintiffs, AMG Realty Company and Skytop Land Corp. 2. This certification is being submitted in support of a motion to terminate the "builder's remedy" status of the plaintiff, Timber Properties, Inc. 3. Attached hereto is a copy of the written opinion of William M. D'Annunzio, J.S.C., in the matter of Henry W. Evans and the Estate of Waldo F. Reis v. Timber Properties, Inc., dated March 18, One of the rulings in that opinion is that the contract of purchase, by Timber Properties from Reis and Evans, of 68 acres of lands known and designated as Block 111, Lots 13 and 19, has been terminated. Also attached is a copy of Mr. Trombadore's letter to the Court confirming the adverse decision as to his client. 4. The aforesaid Lots 13 and 19 constitute the major portion of the Timber Properties site, referred to as Tract G in the exhibits submitted at the trial of this matter and contained in the written report of Richard Thomas Coppola previously filed with the Court. Attached hereto is a copy of "Tract G." 5. As a contract purchaser Timber Properties claimed standing to sue in this matter and its status as such was previously upheld by this Court. At present, however, Timber does not have the contract purchaser status by virtue of the judgment entered by Judge D'Annunzio. Page 2

7 o 6. As a plaintiff in the consolidated case of Timber Properties v^warren Township, (Docket No. L-67820), Timber claimed that it was entitled to a builder's remedy because it proposed to-- construct a substantial amount of lower-income housing on its site. This element of entitlement to a builder's remedy no longer exists. 7. The Court appointed Master in this case has received substantial information with respect to the proposed rezoning of the Township of Warren and the suitability of the properties of each "builder's remedy" plaintiff. One of the major objections, from a planning viewpoint, that has been expressed by the Township of Warren is the proximity of each of the "builder's remedy" sites to each other and the impact of a concentration of housing in a single geographic area. In order to presently assess this position the Court, as well as the Township and the Master, should be able to consider whether Timber Properties is still in the case, and if so, for what purpose or objective. I certify that the within statements made by me are true. I am aware that if the within statements are wilfully false, I am subject to punishment. / Dated: April 11, 1985 JOSEPH'E. MUR Page 3
