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

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

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



                                      -9-



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

shall expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) the final day of the

discovered or occurring prior to the Closing.  Purchaser and its counsel shall
have 30 days to object in writing to any material information in any
supplemental schedule; failure by Purchaser to notify Seller 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.

provided hereafter limiting the liability of Seller, Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify and defend, at its sole cost and expense, and hold Purchaser, its

damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character,
known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by
Purchaser at any time and from time to time by reason of or arising out of the
breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 6.1 of
this Agreement.  This obligation of indemnity shall remain in effect only for
one year from the Closing Date; provided that such obligation shall be without
limitation with respect to the violation on or before the



                                     -13-



Closing Date by Seller of any Hazardous Material Law.  The provisions of this
Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement for one year from the Closing Date for the benefit of Purchaser, its
successors and assigns. However, notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser may exercise any right or remedy Purchaser
may have at law or in equity should Seller fail to meet, comply with or perform

                 (d)      Seller shall pay when due all bills and expenses of
the Property. Seller shall not voluntarily enter into or assume any new

institutional lenders without the prior consent of Purchaser.

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

out-of-pocket expense and will 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.

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

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

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

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

        10.1     SELLER'S DEFAULT; PURCHASER'S REMEDIES.

        (a)      Seller's Default.  Seller shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i)
any of Seller's warranties or representations set forth herein shall be untrue
in any material aspect when made or at Closing; or (ii) Seller shall fail in any
material respect to meet, comply with, or perform any covenant, agreement or
obligation on its part required within the time limits and in the manner
required in this Agreement and shall fail to cure such default within ten
Business Days following written notice from Purchaser to Seller.

        (b)      Purchaser's Remedies. In the event Seller shall be deemed to be
in default hereunder Purchaser may, as its sole remedies: (i) terminate this
Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing; or
(ii) in the event that Seller shall willfully refuse to close the sale and only
in such event, enforce specific performance of this Agreement against Seller
including Purchaser's reasonable costs and attorneys fees in connection
therewith.  It is understood and agreed that termination or specific performance
as provided in (i) and (ii) above constitute Purchaser's sole remedy against
Seller, and that Purchaser shall not be entitled to seek monetary damages from
Seller or assert any other remedy against Seller.

        10.2     PURCHASER'S DEFAULT; SELLER'S REMEDIES.

        (a)      Purchaser's Default.  Purchaser shall be deemed to be in
default hereunder upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events: (i) any of Purchaser's warranties or representations set forth herein
shall be untrue in any material respect when made or at Closing; or (ii)
Purchaser shall fail in any material respect to meet, comply with, or perform
any covenant, agreement or obligation on its part within the time limits and in
the manner required in this Agreement and shall fail to cure such default within
ten Business Days following written notice from Seller to Purchaser.

        (b)      Seller's Remedy.  In the event Purchaser shall be deemed to be
in default hereunder, Seller, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such
default, shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and all rights of
Purchaser hereunder and to retain the Independent Consideration and receive from
Purchaser a sum equal to all third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Seller in performing its obligations under this Agreement including any
reasonable, actual attorneys' fees incurred by Seller in connection with the
preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the performance by
Seller of its obligations hereunder, it being agreed between Purchaser and
Seller that such sum shall be liquidated damages for a default of Purchaser
hereunder because of the difficulty, inconvenience, and uncertainty of
ascertaining actual damages for such default.

the Closing only for one year after the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to
merge upon the acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser.

or at such other address, and to the attention of such other person, as the
parties shall give notice as herein provided. All such notices, requests and
other communications shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all
purposes hereof upon receipt at such address, or if mailed, upon deposit of a
copy in a post office of official depository of the United States Postal
Service.

                 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 this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor
any provision hereof may be waived, 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 convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, or
limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

                 11.6     BINDING EFFECT.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, legal and personal representatives,
successors, and assigns.

                 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



                                     -23-




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 returned to Seller, and Seller shall have returned to
Purchaser, two fully-executed copies of this Agreement.

                 11.11    BROKERS.  Purchaser and Seller hereby represent to
each other that neither has discussed this Agreement or the subject matter
thereof with any real estate broker or salesman so as to create any legal
rights in any such broker or salesman to claim a real estate commission or
similar fee with respect to the purchase or sale of the Property.  Purchaser
and Seller each agree to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any
and all claims for any real estate commissions, leasing fees or similar fees
arising out of or in any way relating to the purchase, sale or lease of the
Property based on their respective acts.

                 11.12    RISK OF LOSS.  Until the Closing Date, the risk of
loss of any portion of the Property shall be solely that of Seller.  Risk of
loss shall be that of Purchaser from and after the Closing Date, at which time
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property.

                 11.13    NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.  Purchaser shall not
assume any of the existing liabilities, indebtedness, commitments or
obligations of any nature whatsoever (whether fixed or contingent) of Seller in
respect of the Property or otherwise, except those expressly assumed herein.

                 11.14    COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
