as the "Permitted Exceptions").

A.   SECTION OBJECTIONS TO STATUS OF TITLE AND SURVEY. Subject to the terms
hereof, Seller shall be obligated to deliver marketable and insurable title to
Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser objects to any
matter affecting title to the Property within the time set forth in SECTION 4.3,

date of receipt by Purchaser of written notice from Seller stating that Seller
is unable or unwilling to cure such objections, either (a) accept such title as
Seller can deliver, in which case all exceptions to title which Seller has
stated it will not cure shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, or (b)
terminate this Contract by notice in writing to Seller in which event Escrow
Agent shall Return the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Purchaser fails to notify
Seller, within such five (5) day period, that Purchaser has elected to proceed
under either subpart (a) or (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, then
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subpart (b), and this
Contract shall be terminated.

     If Seller notifies Purchaser that it elects to cure any such objections but
after using its best efforts is unable to cure such objections by Closing or if
Seller fails to notify Purchaser of its intentions with respect to such
objections and fails to cure such objections by Closing, then Purchaser may, at
its option, either (x) accept such title as Seller can deliver in which case the
parties shall proceed with Closing and all exceptions to title which are not
removed shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, or (y) terminate this
Contract by notice in writing to Seller at Closing, in which event Escrow Agent
Return the Earnest Money Deposit.

"Return the Earnest Money Deposit" means Escrow Agent shall return the
Earnest Money to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights,
duties or obligations hereunder except as otherwise provided in SECTIONS 5.1.5
and 11.1 hereof.

A.   SECTION OTHER PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS. The Permitted Exceptions shall include
those matters which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to SECTIONS 4.3 and 4.4
above and, in addition, the following: (a) the Tenant Leases; (b) taxes and

contained in this Contract, if the Title Commitment discloses any mortgage, deed
of trust, judgement lien, mechanics lien, or other monetary encumbrance
liquidated in amount, then Seller shall cure or have insured over such
encumbrance shown on the Title Commitment by Closing.

be paid by Seller.  The costs of the Survey, special endorsements to the Policy,

expenses incurred by Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Closing,
including, but not limited to, the attorneys' fees and costs and expenses
incurred in connection with negotiating, preparing and closing the transaction
contemplated by this Contract and not specifically allocated herein, shall be
borne and paid exclusively by the party incurring such expense.

1.   All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation,
collected rents, operating expenses and other expenses and fees, and payments
relating to any agreements affecting the Property which survive the Closing,
shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged and credited for
all of same attributable to the period up to, and including, the day prior to
the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to
the period thereafter) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or
charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period on and
after the Closing Date.

1.   If any concession, rebate, allowance, free rent or any other economic
incentive was granted to a Tenant for any period extending after the Proration
Date, or which entitles a Tenant to recoup or recover an expense reducing the
rent otherwise payable by it under its Lease during any period extending after
the Proration Date, then at the Closing Purchaser shall receive a cash credit
equal to the total amount of all such concessions, rebates, allowances, free
rent and other economic incentives and rental offsets.

1.   Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any
installment of assessments payable in installments which installment
attributable to the year of Closing shall be prorated to the date of Closing,
based upon actual days involved. In connection with the proration of real
property taxes or installments of assessments, such proration shall be based
upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the
Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, if actual figures
(whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the
year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, then the proration shall
be based upon an amount equal to One Hundred Five Percent (105%) of the amount
from the preceding year.  The proration shall be final and unadjustable. If the
Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would
result in "roll back" taxes upon the changes in land usage or ownership of the
Property, then Seller shall pay all such taxes and hereby indemnifies, holds
harmless and agrees to defend Purchaser from and against any and all causes of
action, expenses, fines and liabilities for or relating to such taxes.

1.   Prorations should be governed by the following additional provisions:

(a)  Utilities, if any, payable by Seller, shall be prorated. Seller shall
obtain meter readings on the Closing Date or the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date ("Proration Date"), and if such readings are obtained, there shall
be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay the bills therefor for the
period through the Proration Date, and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor
for the period subsequent to the Proration Date as and when rendered. If Seller
is unable to obtain meter readings as of the Proration Date, utilities shall be
prorated at the Proration Date based upon the most recent utility bills,
adjusted for seasonality (such adjustment being reasonably acceptable to both
parties), and reprorated upon issuance of the actual bills. In addition, if
there are any utility charges submetered to Tenants and payable by them directly
to Seller, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain readings thereof at the
Closing Date, and such items shall be prorated in mode and manner as with
respect to rents.

(a)  Prepaid and unpaid expenses and charges respecting utilities and all other
expenses incurred in the operation of the Property shall be prorated at and as
of the Closing Date.

(a)  In the case of any charges payable by Tenants to Seller applicable to
periods of time ending before the Closing Date but to become payable thereafter
when bills are rendered (such as service charges, supply charges and utility
charges), Seller shall after settlement prepare and promptly deliver to
Purchaser the information necessary to prepare the bills to the tenants. Seller
warrants and represents that to the best of its knowledge such information will
be true, complete and correct. All such charges shall be paid to Purchaser and
adjusted in the same manner as provided herein.

Except as otherwise provided herein, prorations shall be made as of 11:59 p.m..
on the day prior to the Closing Date.

     The provisions of this SECTION 8.4 shall survive the Closing and the
termination of this Contract forever.

     Except for those items for which this Contract specifically provides for
reprorations and for mistakes in prorations made at Closing (if discovered and
corrected within sixty (60) days following Closing), all prorations shall be
considered final and absolute as of Closing. Those items which specifically
require reproration in accordance with the terms hereof, upon the tendering from
the "owing" party to the "owed" party of the amounts due, shall be considered
final and absolute.

A.   SECTION POSSESSION AND CLOSING. Possession of the Property shall be
delivered to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing, subject to the Permitted
Exceptions and the rights of the Tenants. Purchaser shall make its own
arrangements for the provision of public utilities to the Property and Seller
shall terminate its accounts with such utility companies that provide services
to the Property as of the end of business on the Closing Date.

A.   SECTION DELINQUENT RENT.

a) APPLICATION OF DELINQUENT RENT. If on the Closing Date any Tenant is in
arrears in the payment of any rent under any Tenant Lease (the "Delinquent
Rent") payable by it, any Delinquent Rent received by Purchaser and Seller from
such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by
such Tenant during the following periods in the following order of priority: (A)
first, to reimburse the party who made the collection effort for reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs and expenses expended in connection with the
collection thereof, (B) second, to the period of time after to the Closing Date,
and (C) third, to the period of time before the Closing Date.  The provisions
of this SECTION 8.6(A) shall survive the Closing and the termination of this
Contract forever.

a) COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT RENT. Purchaser shall have no obligation to collect
past due rentals and other amounts from Tenants after the Proration Date. Seller
retains its rights in and to such past due rentals, but shall not disturb or
otherwise interfere with any Tenant in its occupancy and use and enjoyment of
its demised premises.

                                    ARTICLE
                            CONDEMNATION OR CASUALTY

A.   SECTION CONDEMNATION.

a)   If all or any Significant Portion (as defined in SECTION 9.1(B)) of the
Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain or conveyed by deed in lieu
thereof, or if any condemnation proceeding is commenced for all or any
Significant Portion of the Property, prior to Closing, then Purchaser may elect
to terminate this Contract by written notice thereof to Seller within fifteen
(15) days after Purchaser receives notice of the condemnation, taking or deed in
lieu or institution of such condemnation proceeding (which notice Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser within seven (7) days of Seller's receipt thereof). If
Purchaser does not terminate this Contract pursuant to this SECTION 9.1(A), then
both parties shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated herein pursuant
to the terms hereof, in which event Seller shall, except as limited in SECTION
9.1(B) hereof, deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any proceeds actually
received by Seller attributable to the Property from such condemnation, eminent
domain proceeding or deed in lieu thereof (except for proceeds previously used
to restore or repair the Property ) and assign its interest in and to any such
proceeds, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

a)   For purposes of SECTION 9.1(A), "Significant Portion" of the Property shall
be deemed to be any portion of the Property with either a fair market value or
replacement cost in an amount equal to or great then $100,000 or which
involves the taking of any rental units at the Property or permanently prohibits
the primary access to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in SECTION 9.1(A), if Purchaser has not timely elected to terminate in
accordance with SECTION 9.1(A), and if the proceeds payable with respect to the
Property as a result of condemnation exceed the Purchase Price for the Property,
then the portion of such proceeds in excess of the Purchase Price shall be paid
to Purchaser at the Closing. The foregoing provision shall survive the Closing
and the termination of this Contract forever.

a)   If less than a Significant Portion of the Property is condemned, taken by
eminent domain, conveyed by deed in lieu thereof or is the subject of a
condemnation proceeding, then neither party shall have the right to terminate
this Contract pursuant to this SECTION 9.1, but Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser at Closing any proceeds actually received by Seller attributable to
the Property from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or deed in lieu
thereof, and assign its interest in and to such proceeds to Purchaser, and there
shall be no reduction of the Purchase Price.

a)   If all or any Substantial Portion (as defined in SECTION 9.2(B)) of the
Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to
Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by written notice thereof to
Seller within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser receives notice of the casualty
(which notice Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within seven (7) days of
Seller's receipt thereof). If Purchaser does not terminate this Contract as
aforesaid, then both parties shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated
herein pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event Seller shall, except as
limited in SECTION 9.2(B) hereof, deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any
insurance proceeds actually received by Seller attributable to the Property from
such casualty (except for proceeds previously used to repair the Property) and
assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any
claims which Seller may have under the insurance policies covering the Property,
and Purchaser shall receive a proration credit at Closing in the aggregate
amount of any deductible or self-insurance and there shall be no reduction in
the Purchase Price. If less than a Substantial Portion of the Property shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, then the
parties shall proceed in accordance with the second sentence in this SECTION
9.2(A).

a)   For the purposes of SECTION 9.2(A), a "Substantial Portion" of the Property
shall be deemed to be any portion of the Property with either a fair market
value or replacement cost in an amount equal to or greater than $125,000.
Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 9.2(A) to the contrary, if Purchaser has not
timely elected to terminate in accordance with SECTION 9.2(A), and if the
proceeds payable with respect to the Property as a result of casualty exceed the
Purchase Price for the Property, then the portion of such proceeds in excess of
the Purchase Price shall be paid to Purchaser at the Closing. The foregoing
provision shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Contract
forever.

reasons other than as expressly permitted herein or set forth in SECTION 4.4,

terminate this Contract in which event neither party shall have any further
rights, duties, or obligations hereunder except as provided in SECTIONS 5.1.5
and 11.1 hereof, and, as its sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure
to close, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the Earnest Money
Deposit as liquidated damages (Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledging that
the amount of damages in the event of Purchaser's default is difficult or
impossible to ascertain but that such amount is a fair estimate of such damage).

A.   SECTION DEFAULT BY SELLER. If Purchaser is not in default hereunder and
Seller refuses or fails to consummate the Closing under this Contract other than
due to a termination by Seller permitted hereunder or a failure of a condition
precedent to Seller's obligation to close as set forth in ARTICLE VII, then
Purchaser may, at Purchaser's sole option, as its sole and exclusive remedy,
either (a) terminate this Contract whereupon Escrow Agent shall Return the
Earnest Money Deposit; or (b) enforce specific performance of this Contract
against Seller. Provided, if specific performance is unavailable as a remedy to
Purchaser, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its out of pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, not to exceed $100,000.
In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or
consequential damages or damages for loss of opportunity or lost profit.

A.   SECTION COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT If it shall be necessary for either Purchaser
or Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this Contract,
the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for the prevailing
party's reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the prevailing party in pursuit of such enforcement.

other that each has no agreement with any broker, finder or other party

and Purchaser may pay a fee to Carmel Realty Services.  Seller agrees to
indemnify and defend Purchaser and its officers, directors, trustees,
shareholders, representatives and agents and hold each of them harmless from any
loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or paid or incurred by
Purchaser by reason of any claim to any broker's, finder's or other fee in
connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through or under
Seller. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and defend Seller and its general partner
and their respective affiliates and their and their affiliates' officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless
from any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cause of action, fine, fee,
lien, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses ) arising out of or paid or incurred by any of them by reason of
any claim to any broker's, finder's or other fee in connection with this
transaction by any party claiming by, through or under Purchaser or its
affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnities set forth in this ARTICLE XI shall survive the Closing and the
termination of this Contract forever.
