such fact. Upon the expiration of said Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have accepted all exceptions to title referenced in the Title Commitment and
all matters shown on the Survey except for matters which are the subject of a
notification made under the preceding sentence, and such accepted exceptions
shall be included in the term 'Permitted


                                      9

Exceptions' as used herein; provided that in no event shall any of the items
listed on Schedule B-1 or C of the Title Commitment constitute Permitted
Exceptions for purposes hereof.  In the event that Purchaser objects to any
such matters within the Review Period, Seller shall have 30 days from receipt
of such notice within which to in its sole discretion elect to (but shall have
no obligation whatsoever to do so) eliminate or modify any such unacceptable
exceptions or items. In the event that Seller is unable or unwilling to
eliminate or modify such unacceptable items to the satisfaction of Purchaser on
or before the expiration of said 30-day period, Purchaser may either (a) waive
such objections and accept title to the Property subject to such unacceptable
items (which items shall then be deemed to constitute part of the 'Permitted
Exceptions'), or (b) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller,
whereupon this Agreement shall automatically be rendered null and void, all
moneys which have been delivered by Purchaser to Seller or the Title Company
(other than the Independent Consideration) shall be immediately returned to
Purchaser, and thereafter neither Party shall have any further obligations or
liabilities to the other hereunder, except for Purchaser's obligation to pay
one-half of Seller's expenses as set forth in Section 4.2.

        5.3      ADDITIONAL EXCEPTIONS.  In the event that at any time the Title
Commitment, Exception Documents, Survey or Search Reports are modified in any
material respect that is adverse to Purchaser (other than the deletion or
elimination of any item as to which Purchaser has made an objection or any
addition or modification which is made at the request of Purchaser), Purchaser
shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such modification
and to terminate this Agreement in the event that Seller is unable or unwilling
to eliminate any such matters to the satisfaction of Purchaser in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.2 above, except that Purchaser's Review Period
as to such additional items shall be for a period expiring on the date that is
the earlier to occur of (a) 15 days following the date of Purchaser's receipt of
such modification, and (b) the Closing Date, and all other time periods referred
to in Section 5.2 shall expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) the final

substantially the amounts as are maintained by Seller on the date of this
Agreement.

        (c)      Seller shall pay when due all bills and expenses of the

        (f)      Seller will: (i) give to Purchaser, its attorneys, accountants
and other representatives, during normal business hours and as often as may be
requested, full access to the Property and to all books, records and files (but
excluding information which may be protected by the attorney-client privilege)
relating to the Property; (ii) furnish to Purchaser all information concerning
the Property which the Purchaser, its attorneys, accountants or other
representatives will reasonably request; and (iii) cooperate with Purchaser in
the conducting of such audit to the extent that it does not materially interfere

deliver to the accountants conducting such audit such information known to
Seller as may be reasonably required addressing, among other things, any
irregularities or undisclosed claims or liabilities that could have a material
effect on the results of the audit. Any information furnished to Purchaser
hereunder shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in
Section 4.2.

Agreement, and has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to consummate the actions provided for herein, and the joinder of no person
or entity will be necessary to purchase the Property from Seller at Closing, and
to lease the Property to Seller following Closing.


                                      15

        (b)      The execution by Purchaser of this Agreement and the
consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated herein do not, and at
the Closing will not, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of
or constitute a default or a condition which upon notice or lapse of time or
both would ripen into a default under any indenture, agreement, instrument or
obligation to which Purchaser is a party; and does not constitute a violation of
any order, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser or any portion of the
Property of any court or of any federal or state or municipal regulatory body or
administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over
Purchaser.

        (c)      Purchaser shall have made its own investigation regarding the
physical condition of the Property and all other relevant matters concerning the
condition or status of the Property, including, without limitation, anticipated
future Property performance, revenues, profits and expenses and shall not rely
on any performance, revenue, profit or expense projections, forecasts or
predictions relating to the Property or any statements or representations
concerning the Property made by Seller (except for the representations and
warranties expressly set forth in Section 6.1 above) provided by or on behalf of
Seller; provided that the foregoing provision shall in no way lessen or diminish
the obligation of Seller to furnish true and correct copies of the Due Diligence
Materials to Purchaser as provided under Article IV hereof.

        (d)      Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and
against any claims for any brokerage fee or commission, finder's fee or

acted as agent or a representative of Purchaser.

        (e)      All documents and information delivered by Purchaser to Seller
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement are true, correct and complete as

to time after the execution of this Agreement until the Closing, Purchaser shall
deliver to Seller one or more supplemental schedules setting forth all changes
in the schedules, and in previously delivered supplemental schedules, if any,
and in any of the representations and warranties made herein whether or not
previously modified by a schedule, arising out of matters discovered or
occurring prior to the Closing.  Seller and its counsel shall have 30 days to
object in writing to any material information in any supplemental schedule;
failure by Seller to notify Purchaser within such 30-day period of any objection
to information provided in the supplemental schedule prior to the Closing shall
be deemed to be approval thereof.

        11.3     ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS.  This Agreement embodies and
constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated herein, and all prior or contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, representations and statements (oral or written) are merged into

modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing
signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification,
amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set
forth in such instrument.

        11.4     APPLICABLE LAW.  This Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the state in which the Property is located.

        11.5     CAPTIONS.  The captions in this Agreement are inserted for

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal and personal representatives, successors, and
assigns.


                                      24

        11.7     EXTENSION OF DATES.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if Seller shall fail to deliver any document or
item required pursuant to any of the terms and provisions of Article IV and/or
Article V within the applicable time period required, Purchaser, at its option,
shall have the right to extend the date of expiration of the Review Period, and
correspondingly the date of Closing, by the number of days elapsing from the
date such items were required to be delivered and the date such items were
actually delivered to Purchaser; provided that Purchaser shall have given Seller
written notice of the missing items within 15 days of the Effective Date (as
provided in Section 5.2) and provided Purchaser shall give Seller notice of its
intent to extend such dates within five Business Days following Seller's receipt
of the last of the items set forth on Purchaser's notice letter.  Nothing herein
shall diminish Seller's obligation to timely furnish such items.

        11.8     TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  With respect to all provisions of this
Agreement, time is of the essence. However, if the first date of any period
which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a day which is not
a Business Day, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended
to the next day which is a Business Day.

        11.9     WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.  Any Party may at any time or times, at
its election, waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder, but any
such waiver shall be effective only if contained in a writing signed by such
Party. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement or of any warranty
or representation hereunder by the other Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of
any other breach by such other Party (whether preceding or succeeding and
whether or not of the same or similar nature), and no acceptance of payment or
performance by a Party after any breach by the other Party shall be deemed to be
a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty
hereunder by such other Party, whether or not the first Party knows of such
breach at the time it accepts such payment or performance. No failure or delay
by a Party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of the
other Party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this
Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first Party while
the other Party continues to be so in default.

        11.10    OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE.  This Agreement shall automatically
terminate at 5:00 pm. on June 1, 1994, unless, prior to such time, Purchaser has
