ITEM 2 - Disposition of Assets

Charter Oak Apartments, Creve Coeur, Missouri

Disposition Date - July 16, 1998

     On July 16, 1998,  Charter Oak  Associates,  a joint venture in which Paine
Webber Income  Properties Four Limited  Partnership  ("the  Partnership") has an
interest,  sold the property  known as Charter Oak  Apartments  located in Creve
Coeur, Missouri, to an unrelated third party, Realty Ventures I Inc., a Virginia
corporation,  for $21.4  million.  The  Partnership  received  net  proceeds  of
approximately   $8,703,000  after  deducting   closing  costs  of  approximately
$251,000, closing proration adjustments of approximately $370,000, the repayment
of the existing first mortgage loan of approximately $9,898,000, related accrued
interest of approximately  $61,000 and a payment of approximately  $2,117,000 to
the  Partnership's  co-venture  partner  for its share of the sales  proceeds in
accordance  with  the  joint  venture  agreement.  In  addition  to the net sale
proceeds,  the Partnership  will receive its share of the net cash flow from the
operations of Charter Oak through the date of the sale upon the  dissolution  of
the joint venture, which is expected to occur within the next 2- to -3 months.

     As discussed further in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership and its co-venture  partner had
selected a local  brokerage firm with a strong  background in selling  apartment
properties  in the St.  Louis area to market the Charter Oak  property for sale.
Subsequent  to the end of the second  fiscal  quarter a  marketing  package  was
prepared, and comprehensive sale efforts began in May 1998. As a result of those
efforts,  twenty-nine offers were received. The prospective purchasers were then
requested  to submit  best and final  offers.  Eight of the  prospective  buyers
submitted best and final offers.  After completing an evaluation of these offers
and the relative strength of the prospective purchasers, the Partnership and its
co-venture  partner  selected  an  offer.  A  purchase  and sale  agreement  was
negotiated with this  prospective  buyer and the sale  transaction was closed on
July 16,  1998.  Management  believed  that a current  sale of the  Charter  Oak
property  was  in  the  best  interests  of  the  Limited  Partners  due  to the
exceptionally  strong market conditions that exist at the present time and which
resulted in the achievement of a very favorable  selling price.  The Partnership
anticipates  that it will distribute all of the net sales proceeds from the sale
of  Charter  Oak  on  or  before  October  15,  1998  after  it  receives  final
documentation  from  HUD  of  its  formal  approval  of  the  prepayment  of the
HUD-insured  first  mortgage loan which  encumbered  Charter Oak. The receipt of
such approval should be a mere formality. The Partnership expects to receive HUD
approval by mid-September 1998.

     Subsequent to the sale of the Charter Oak property,  the Partnership's only
remaining real estate asset is its joint venture  interest in the Bristol Pointe
Apartments.  As discussed  further in the  Partnership's  most recent  quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, this property is in the process of being actively  marketed
with a goal of completing a sale and a liquidation of the  Partnership  prior to
the end of calendar 1998. There are no assurances, however, that the sale of the
remaining asset and the liquidation of the Partnership  will be completed within
this time frame.

                                    ARTICLE 2

                                PURCHASE AND SALE

      2.1 Seller  hereby  agrees to sell and convey  the  Property  to Buyer and
Buyer hereby agrees to buy the Property  from Seller for the Purchase  Price and
otherwise subject to the covenants,  provisions,  terms and conditions contained
herein.


                                    ARTICLE 3

                      PURCHASE PRICE; DEPOSIT; ADJUSTMENTS

      3.1  Initial  Non-Refundable,   Non-Interest-Bearing  Payment  to  Seller.
Contemporaneously  with the execution and delivery of this  Agreement  (and as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement), Buyer shall deliver
to  Seller a  non-refundable  payment  (the  "Payment")  in the  amount of Fifty
Thousand  Dollars  ($50,000)  which  amount  shall  be  deemed  earned  upon the
execution  and delivery of this  Agreement  by Seller and Buyer.  In all events,
Seller shall retain the Payment, provided,  however, that if the Closing occurs,
the amount of the Payment shall be credited towards the Purchase Price.

      3.2  Deposit.  Provided  that  Buyer  does not  terminate  this  Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.2 herein,  on or prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Diligence Date,
Buyer  shall  deposit  immediately   available  funds  with  the  Title  Company
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Escrow Agent") the sum of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars  ($250,000)  (the "Deposit") to secure Buyer's
obligations  under this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in a
segregated  interest  bearing  money  market  account  with an FDIC insured bank
reasonably  acceptable to Buyer and Seller. The Deposit and all interest accrued
on the Deposit (collectively,  the "Escrowed Amount") shall be maintained by the
Escrow Agent in such  account or accounts  until the Escrow Agent is required to
cause the Escrowed  Amount to be disbursed  pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the Earnest Money Escrow  Instructions  attached hereto as
Exhibit D. The Escrowed  Amount  shall be applied to the  Purchase  Price if the
Closing occurs, as provided in Section 3.2(c) below.

      3.3 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price,  subject to adjustment as provided
herein,  shall be as  specified  in  Article  1 above  and  shall be paid on the
Closing Date (as hereinafter  defined) in United States dollars by wire transfer
of federal funds, less the Escrowed Amount (the "Cash Balance").

      3.4 Tax Proration.  All due and payable real estate taxes, all general and
special  assessments on the Land and ad valorem  taxes,  if any, on the Personal
Property  (based on the most recent  ascertainable  taxes)  attributable  to the
Property  through the  Closing  Date shall be  prorated  and  adjusted as of the
Closing Date. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any
increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or
from any improvements  made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.
If the tax  statements  for the fiscal year during which the Closing Date occurs
are not  finally  determined,  then the tax figures  for the  immediately  prior
fiscal  year shall be used for the  purposes of  prorating  taxes on the Closing
Date,  provided  that there shall be no further  adjustment to be made after the
Closing  Date.  Neither  Seller  nor Buyer  shall  settle  any tax  protests  or
proceedings  in which  taxes for the tax  period  for  which the other  party is
responsible  are being  adjudicated  without the  consent of such  party,  which
consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned or delayed.  After the
Closing,  Buyer  shall  be  responsible  for and  control  any tax  protests  or
proceedings  for any period for which  taxes are  adjusted  between  the parties
under this Agreement and for any later period.  Buyer and Seller shall cooperate
in pursuit of any such  proceedings and in responding to reasonable  requests of
the other for  information  concerning  the status of and otherwise  relating to
such proceedings;  provided,  however,  that neither party shall be obligated to
incur any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses in responding to the requests of
the other.

      3.5  Contract  Proration.   To  the  extent  Property  Contracts  are  not
terminated  pursuant  to  Section  4.3,  prepaid or past due  amounts  under any
Property  Contracts which are assigned to Buyer at Closing shall be prorated and
adjusted as of the Closing Date.

      3.6 Utility Proration. To the extent reasonably feasible, the Seller shall
request  that  the  property  manager  at the  Property  cause  all  meters  for
electricity,  gas, water, sewer or other public utility usage at the Property to
be read as of the day  immediately  preceding the Closing  Date,  and the Seller
shall pay all charges for such  utilities  which have accrued on or prior to the
Closing Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent such charges are paid
directly  by  tenants,  no such  reading or payment  shall be  required.  If the
utility  companies  are unable or refuse to read meters for which payment by the
Seller is required, all charges for such utilities to the extent unpaid shall be
prorated  and  adjusted  as of the Closing  Date based on the most recent  bills
therefor  and no further  adjustment  shall be made.  The Seller  shall  provide
notice to the Buyer within five (5) days of the Closing  Date setting  forth (i)
whether  utility  meters will be read as of the Closing  Date and (ii) a copy of
the most  recent  bill for any  utility  charges  which are to be  prorated  and
adjusted as of the Closing  Date.  Buyer shall  forward to Seller a check in the
amount of all past due rents  collected  by Buyer and  attributable  to Seller's
period of ownership,  if any, net of Buyer's costs of collection thereof, within
thirty (30) days of the Closing Date.

      3.7 Income and Expense Proration. Collected rents for the then current and
any future period,  security deposits which have not been previously  applied by
Seller,  prepaid rentals,  and all expenses and other charges in connection with
the  operation  of the  Property  shall be  apportioned  and full value shall be
adjusted  as of the Closing  Date,  and the net amount  thereof,  if in favor of
Seller,  shall be added to the Purchase Price, or if in favor of Buyer, shall be
deducted from the Purchase Price.  From and after Closing all security  deposits
credited  to Buyer shall  thereafter  be deemed  transferred  to Buyer and Buyer
shall assume and be solely  responsible for the payments of security deposits to
tenants in  accordance  with the  Leases and  applicable  law.  Seller  shall be
entitled to retain or if  transferred  to Buyer receive a credit for any utility
deposits and any deposits for third parties under any of the Property Contracts.
In addition to the  foregoing,  at Closing the Purchase Price shall be increased
by the  amount of  uncollected  or past due  rent;  provided,  however,  that no
adjustment  shall be made for rent  which is more than one (1)  month  past due.
Seller shall be entitled to attempt to collect all rents and other charges which
are more  than one (1)  month  past due but  shall  not be  entitled  to  pursue
eviction proceedings in connection with such collection efforts.

      3.8 Prorations Generally.  A statement of prorations and other adjustments
shall be prepared by Seller in conformity  with the provisions of this Article 3
and  submitted  to Buyer for review and  approval not less than two (2) business
days prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of making prorations,  Seller shall
be deemed to be in title to the  Property  and  entitled  to the income from and
responsible for the expenses thereof, on the closing Date.

      3.9   Closing Costs.

            (a) Seller shall pay: (i) its legal fees and expenses related to the
      negotiation and  preparation of this Agreement and all documents  required
      to close the transaction  contemplated  hereby, and (ii) 50% of the escrow
      fees of the Escrow Agent.

            (b) Buyer shall pay: (i) 50% of the escrow fees of the Escrow Agent,
      if any, (ii) charges to record the deed, and evidence of Buyer's existence
      or  authority,  (iii)  Buyer's  legal  fees and  expenses  related  to the
      negotiation  of this  Agreement  and all  documents  required to close the
      transaction  contemplated  hereby,  (iv) all costs  related to the Buyer's
      inspection and due diligence,  including,  without limitation, the cost of
      appraisals, architectural,  engineering, credit and environmental reports,
      (v) all costs associated with title examination and preparation of a title
      commitment  as well as all  charges  and  premiums  for an  owner's  title
      policy,   (vi)  all  costs   allocable  to   preparation   of  the  survey
      (approximately  $6,000),  and  (vii)  all  state,  county  or other  taxes
      associated with the transfer of the property.

            (c) All  other  closing  costs  shall be paid by  Seller or Buyer in
      accordance  with the  custom in the  jurisdiction  where the  Property  is
      located.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                              PRECLOSING OPERATION

      4.1  Leases.  A rent  roll  (the  "Rent  Roll")  containing  a list of all
occupants  of the  Property  pursuant  to the  Leases  as of the date  hereof is
attached hereto as Exhibit E. During the pendency of this Agreement,  Seller may
enter into  Leases  with new tenants or  modifications  of Leases with  existing
tenants  substantially in accordance with Seller's  existing leasing  practices,
provided  that in all events any new or modified  Leases shall (i) be at or near
market rent,  (ii) be for a term of not more than one (1) year (with  respect to
residential  Leases only),  and (iii) on the Seller's  current  standard form of
lease.

      4.2  Conduct of  Business.  At all times prior to  Closing,  Seller  shall
continue (a) to conduct business with respect to the Property in the same manner
in which said business has been heretofore conducted, (b) to insure the Property
substantially as currently insured, and (c) maintain the Property in its current
condition,  reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted,  including
ordinary  preparation  for  occupancy  of  residential  units  vacated  prior to
Closing.

      4.3  Property  Contracts.  On or before  the  Diligence  Date (as  defined
below),  unless Buyer has provided  written notice to Seller of Buyer's election
to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of the
Property  Contracts that Buyer desires to have terminated by Seller,  and Seller
will  terminate  the Property  Contracts  so  identified  at or before  Closing,
provided  that  such  Property  Contracts  may be  terminated  without  cost  or
liability to Seller and if there is cost or liability to Seller,  Buyer shall be
responsible  for any such liability.  At Closing,  Seller shall assign and Buyer
shall  assume the Property  Contracts,  except those  Property  Contracts  which
Seller has agreed to  terminate.  Buyer and Seller shall  indemnify,  defend and
hold the other  harmless  from and against any and all claims under the Property
Contracts  which relate to its respective  period of ownership.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  Seller's existing  management  contract and exclusive  brokerage
contract  for the Property  shall be  terminated  by Seller  effective as of the
Closing Date.

                          ACCESS, INSPECTION, DILIGENCE

      5.1 Access/Purchaser's Responsibilities/Purchaser's Indemnity.

            (a)  Buyer  acknowledges  receipt  of the  Documents.  From the date
      hereof through the Diligence  Date  (hereinafter  defined),  Seller agrees
      that Buyer and its authorized agents or representatives  shall be entitled
      to enter upon the Real Property  during normal business hours upon advance
      written  notice  to  Seller  and  make  such  reasonable,   nondestructive
      investigations,  studies and tests including, without limitation,  surveys
      and engineering  studies as Buyer deems necessary or advisable,  provided,
      however,  that Buyer shall not be  permitted to conduct  physical  testing
      without  Seller's  prior  written  consent,  which  consent  shall  not be
      unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned  or delayed.  Seller's  prior written
      consent  for  physical  inspections  or testing  may be  conditioned  upon
      receipt of a detailed  description of the proposed physical  inspection or
      testing,  a list of  contractors  who  will  be  performing  the  physical
      inspection or testing,  evidence of insurance  satisfactory to Seller, and
      such other  information as Seller  reasonably  requires in connection with
      such  proposed  inspection  or  testing.  Seller  also  agrees to make all
      Documents  available to Buyer or Buyer's  agents  during  normal  business
      hours for review  and  copying at Buyer's  expense  upon  advance  written
      notice to Seller from the date hereof through the Diligence Date.

            (b) Buyer agrees that in conducting any inspections,  investigations
      or tests of the Property  and/or the  Documents,  Buyer and its agents and
      representatives  shall (i) not  unreasonably  interfere with the operation
      and maintenance of the Property, (ii) not unreasonably disturb the tenants
      under the Leases or unreasonably  interfere with their use of the Property
      pursuant  to their  respective  Leases,  (iii) not  damage any part of the
      Property  or any  personal  property  owned or held by any tenant or third
      party,  (iv) not injure or  otherwise  cause  bodily  harm to Seller,  the
      property  manager,   or  their  respective   guests,   agents,   invitees,
      contractors  and employees or any tenant or their guests or invitees,  (v)
      maintain  comprehensive  general liability  insurance in terms and amounts
      reasonably   acceptable  to  Seller  covering  any  accident   arising  in
      connection with the presence of Buyer, its agents and  representatives  on
      the  Property,  and deliver a  certificate  of  insurance  verifying  such
      coverage to Seller  prior to entry upon the  Property;  (vi)  promptly pay
      when due the costs of all tests, investigations and examinations done with
      regard to the  Property;  (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real
      Property by reason of the  exercise of Buyer's  rights  hereunder,  (viii)
      fully  restore the  Property to the  condition in which the same was found
      before any such inspection or tests were  undertaken;  and (ix) not reveal
      or disclose  any  information  obtained  during the due  diligence  period
      concerning  the  Property  and the  Documents  to anyone  outside  Buyer's
      organization,  except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set
      forth in Section 5.5 herein.

            (c) Buyer will indemnify,  defend,  and hold Seller and its property
      manager harmless from all losses,  costs, liens, claims, causes of action,
      liability,   damages  and  out-of  pocket  expenses,   including,  without
      limitation,  reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred by Seller as a result of
      the entry upon or  inspections,  tests or  investigations  of the Property
      conducted by or on behalf of Buyer.  This  indemnity  obligation  of Buyer
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

            (d) Buyer  acknowledges  and  agrees  that the  Documents  and other
      information  or  materials  relating to the Property are provided to Buyer
      for informational  purposes only and do not constitute  representations or
      warranties of Seller or its agents,  employees or  representatives  of any
      kind as to the truth,  accuracy or  completeness  of the  Documents or the
      source(s) thereof. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation
      as to  the  truth,  accuracy  or  completeness  of the  Documents,  and is
      providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Buyer.

      5.2   Diligence.

      Buyer shall complete its due diligence on or before the date which is five
(5) days from the date hereof (the "Diligence Date").  Notwithstanding any other
term or  provision  herein  to the  contrary,  in the  event  that  Buyer's  due
diligence shall reveal any matters which are not acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer's
sole  discretion,  Buyer may elect,  by written  notice to Seller,  received  by
Seller on or before the Diligence  Date, not to proceed with this  purchase,  in
which event this Agreement  shall  terminate,  the Escrow Agent shall return the
Escrowed  Amount to the Buyer and this Agreement  shall be null and void without
recourse to either party hereto  (except to the extent such  recourse  arises in
connection  with a  provision  of this  Agreement  which is  intended to survive
termination).  BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
BUYER SHALL BE AFFORDED A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY,  OBSERVE ITS
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CONDUCT SUCH INVESTIGATIONS
AND STUDIES ON AND OF SAID PROPERTY AS IT DEEMS NECESSARY AND THAT, UNLESS BUYER
TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT  PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 5.3 BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO
HAVE  WAIVED  ON THE  DILIGENCE  DATE ANY AND ALL  OBJECTIONS  TO OR  COMPLAINTS
REGARDING  (INCLUDING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  FEDERAL,  STATE OR COMMON LAW BASED
ACTIONS AND ANY PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW TO WHICH THE
PROPERTY IS OR MAY BE SUBJECT,  INCLUDING  BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  CERCLA AND RCRA)
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EXISTING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
STRUCTURAL AND GEOLOGIC  CONDITIONS,  SUBSURFACE  SOIL AND WATER  CONDITIONS AND
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS  WASTE AND HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  ON, UNDER,  ADJACENT TO OR
OTHERWISE  AFFECTING THE  PROPERTY.  BUYER  FURTHER  HEREBY  ASSUMES THE RISK OF
CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS  RELATING TO PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITIONS  ON THE PROPERTY  AND THE RISK THAT  ADVERSE  PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND CONDITIONS,  INCLUDING,  WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRESENCE OF
HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES OR OTHER  CONTAMINANTS,  MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY ITS
INVESTIGATION.

      5.3   Copies of Reports/Return of Documents.

            (a) Buyer has  delivered to Seller a copy of the Phase I (as defined
      in Exhibit  G). If such Phase I  indicates  the  existence  or  reasonable
      potential  existence  of  any  Hazardous  Substance  contamination  of any
      portion of the  Property,  Seller may terminate  this  Agreement by giving
      written notice to Buyer within five (5) business days after Buyer provides
      Seller  with  copies  of  such  reports,   tests  or  studies.  Upon  such
      termination, in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the Escrowed
      Amount  shall be promptly  returned to Buyer and neither  Buyer nor Seller
      shall have any further  obligation  or liability  to the other  hereunder,
      except those obligations  arising under provisions of this Agreement which
      are expressly intended to survive termination.

            (b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Buyer
      shall  promptly  deliver to Seller  all  Documents  delivered  to Buyer or
      Buyer's agents, representatives or designees by Seller or Seller's agents,
      representatives or employees pursuant to this Agreement.

            (c) The return of the Escrowed  Amount to Buyer under this Agreement
      shall be contingent  upon Buyer's  fulfillment  of its  obligations  under
      Section 5.4(a) and (b).

      5.4 Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any and all of the
Documents are  proprietary  and  confidential in nature and will be delivered to
Buyer solely to assist Buyer in  determining  the  feasibility of purchasing the
Property.  Further, each party hereto agrees to maintain in confidence,  and not
to  discuss  with or to  disclose  to any person or entity who is not a party to
this  Agreement,  any  material  term of this  Agreement  or any  aspect  of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except as provided in this Section. Seller may
publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement  provided that the identity of
Buyer is not  disclosed.  Buyer  shall not  disclose  to anyone  other  than its
partners and financiers the Documents and/or any information disclosed by Seller
to  Buyer  which  is not  generally  known  by  the  public  regarding  Seller's
operations and/or the Property.  Each party hereto may discuss with and disclose
to its  accountants,  attorneys,  existing or  prospective  lenders,  investment
bankers, underwriters, rating agencies, partners, consultants and other advisors
to the extent such  parties  reasonably  need to know such  information  and are
bound by a confidentiality  obligation identical in all material respects to the
one created by this Section.  Additionally,  each party may discuss and disclose
such  matters to the extent  necessary  to comply with any  requirements  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  or in  order  to  comply  with any law or
interpretation  thereof or court order. This provision shall survive termination
of this Agreement but shall terminate upon the Closing.  Any press release to be
made regarding any matter which is the subject of the confidentiality obligation
created in this Section shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Buyer and
the Seller, respectively both as to timing and content.

      5.5 Buyer's  Acknowledgment.  BUYER  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AS OF THE DILIGENCE
DATE IT HAS HAD AN  OPPORTUNITY  TO CONDUCT  DILIGENCE  ON THE  PROPERTY  AND IS
ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY IN ITS CURRENT  CONDITION  BASED ON ITS DILIGENCE.  BUYER
FURTHER   ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT  NEITHER  SELLER  NOR  ITS  EMPLOYEES,   AGENTS  OR
REPRESENTATIVES  HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE CONDITION OF
THE PROPERTY OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON, IN, UNDER

CONDITION.  THE BUYER FURTHER  ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
CONTAINED HEREIN IN SECTION 11.2, NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY AGENT,  EMPLOYEE OR
OTHER  REPRESENTATIVE  OF THE  SELLER (OR  PURPORTED  AGENT,  EMPLOYEE  OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE  OF  THE  SELLER)  HAS  MADE  ANY  GUARANTEE,  REPRESENTATION  OR
WARRANTY,  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED  (AND THE  SELLER  SHALL NOT HAVE ANY  LIABILITY
WHATSOEVER) AS TO THE VALUE, USES, HABITABILITY,  CONDITION,  DESIGN, OPERATION,
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PROSPECTS,  OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OR USE OF THE PROPERTY
(OR ANY  PART  THEREOF)  OR ANY  OTHER  GUARANTEE,  REPRESENTATION  OR  WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER,  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,  WITH  RESPECT TO THE  PROPERTY  (OR ANY PART
THEREOF) OR INFORMATION  SUPPLIED TO BUYER WITH RESPECT  THERETO.  FURTHER,  THE
SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY  FOR ANY LATENT,  HIDDEN,  OR PATENT DEFECT AS TO
THE PROPERTY OR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH
ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.  IN PARTICULAR,  THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT ANY  INFORMATION  PROVIDED  TO BUYER BY SELLER  WITH  RESPECT TO THE
PROPERTY  UNDER THIS  AGREEMENT  (AND ANY OTHER  INFORMATION  THE BUYER MAY HAVE
OBTAINED REGARDING IN ANY WAY ANY OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ITS  OPERATIONS  OR ITS  FINANCIAL  HISTORY OR PROSPECTS  FROM THE SELLER OR ITS
AGENTS,  EMPLOYEES  OR OTHER  REPRESENTATIVES)  IS  DELIVERED  TO THE BUYER AS A
COURTESY, WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO ITS ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS,
AND NOT AS AN INDUCEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY; THAT NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUCH
DELIVERIES  SHALL CONSTITUTE OR BE DEEMED TO BE A GUARANTEE,  REPRESENTATION  OR
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN ANY REGARD AS TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY (EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY  PROVIDED  HEREIN);  AND  THAT  THE  BUYER IS  RELYING  ONLY  UPON THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS OWN INDEPENDENT  ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTY
AND ITS PROSPECTS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY. THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING.


      5.6 Buyer's Release of Seller.  SELLER AND ITS PROPERTY MANAGER ARE HEREBY
RELEASED  FROM  ALL  RESPONSIBILITY   AND  LIABILITY   REGARDING  THE  CONDITION

DETERMINED TO BE TOXIC, HAZARDOUS, UNDESIRABLE OR SUBJECT TO REGULATION AND THAT
MAY NEED TO BE SPECIALLY TREATED, HANDLED AND/OR REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY UNDER

VALUATION,  SALABILITY OR UTILITY OF THE PROPERTY,  OR ITS  SUITABILITY  FOR ANY
PURPOSE  WHATSOEVER.  BUYER  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY INFORMATION OF ANY TYPE WHICH
BUYER HAS  RECEIVED OR MAY RECEIVE FROM  SELLER,  ITS PROPERTY  MANAGER OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE AGENTS, INCLUDING,  WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS AND
SURVEYS,  IS  FURNISHED  ON THE  EXPRESS  CONDITION  THAT  BUYER  SHALL  MAKE AN

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                TITLE AND SURVEY

      6.1 Title and Survey.  Promptly following the execution of this Agreement,
Buyer shall obtain:

            (a) A current ALTA as-built survey of the Real Property or an update
      of Seller's survey (the "Survey"); and

            (b) A commitment for an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title  Insurance from
      the Escrow Agent (the "Title Commitment"). Buyer shall cause a copy of the
      completed Title Commitment to be forwarded to Seller.

      If the Survey or matters listed as exceptions in the Title  Commitment are
not satisfactory to Buyer, Buyer shall, within two (2) business days of the date
hereof,  provide  Seller  with  written  notice of such  objections  (the "Title
Objections"). Seller, at its sole cost and expense shall have the right, but not
the  obligation,  to cure or remove  any Title  Objections  and shall give Buyer
written  notice  on or prior to the  Diligence  Date,  identifying  those  Title
Objections,  if any,  that  Seller  agrees to use  reasonable  efforts  to cure;
provided,  however, unless Seller specifically agrees to cure a Title Objection,
Seller  shall  not be  obligated  to incur any  costs or  expenses  in excess of
$10,000 in  connection  with any such cure  undertaken  by Seller.  If there are
Title  Objections  which Seller is unable or unwilling to cure by the  Diligence

set forth in such written notice from Seller. If Buyer's conditions as set forth

extended  as  aforesaid)  then  Buyer  shall  have the right to  terminate  this

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

      8.1 Casualty.  If the Improvements  are materially  damaged by fire or any
other casualty and are not substantially  restored to the condition  immediately
prior to such casualty  before the Closing Date,  Buyer shall have the following
elections:

            (a) to  purchase  the  Property  in its then  condition  and pay the
      Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer as
      the case may be, on the Closing Date,  amounts recovered or recoverable by
      Seller on account of any  insurance as a result of such casualty up to the
      amount of the  Purchase  Price,  less any amounts  reasonably  expended by
      Seller for partial restoration; or

            (b) if any portion of the  Improvements  suffers damage in excess of
      $1,000,000  from  fire or any other  casualty  which  Seller,  in its sole
      option, elects not to repair, to terminate this Agreement by giving notice
      of  termination to Seller on or before that date which is thirty (30) days
      after the occurrence of the fire or other casualty or on the Closing Date,
      whichever  occurs first,  in which event the Escrow Agent shall return the
      Escrowed  Amount to Buyer,  this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and neither
      Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse  against the other (except to the

this  Agreement  by  providing  notice to Seller to such effect on or before the
date which is ten (10) days from Seller's notice to Buyer of such Eminent Domain
Taking or on the Closing Date, whichever occurs first, in which event the Escrow
Agent shall return the Escrowed Amount to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate,
and neither  Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse  against the other (except
to the extent  such  recourse  arises in  connection  with a  provision  of this
Agreement  which is intended to survive  termination).  If Buyer does not timely
notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement,  Buyer shall purchase
the Property and pay the Purchase Price,  and Seller shall pay over or assign to
Buyer on delivery  of the deed  awards  recovered  or  recoverable  by Seller on
account of such Eminent  Domain  Taking up to the amount of the Purchase  Price,
less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in obtaining such award.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                              BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

      Seller and Buyer each  mutually  represent  and  warrant to the other that
they have not dealt with,  and are not obligated to pay, any fees or commissions
to any broker in connection with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement
other than Ken Aston of Apartment  Investment  Advisors,  Ltd.  (the  "Broker").
Seller agrees to pay all commissions, payments and fees due to the Broker at the
Closing.  Buyer agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold Seller  harmless from and
against all loss, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys'  fees)  arising  from any  claims for  brokerage  or  finder's  fees,
commissions or other similar fees in connection with the transaction  covered by
this Agreement  insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged  arrangements
or  agreements  made by Buyer or on  Buyer's  behalf.  Seller  hereby  agrees to
indemnify,   defend  and  hold  Buyer   harmless  from  and  against  all  loss,
liabilities,  costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising from any claims for  brokerage or finders'  fees,  commissions  or other
similar  fees,  including any claim made by the Broker,  in connection  with the
transaction covered by this Agreement as such claims shall be based upon alleged
arrangements or agreements made by Seller or on Seller's  behalf.  The covenants
and agreements  contained in this Article shall survive the  termination of this
Agreement or the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereunder.


                                   ARTICLE 10

                        DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

      10.1 Seller's  Default.  In the event that Seller shall have failed in any
material  respect  adverse to Buyer as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed  by Seller on or before the  Closing  Date or Seller  defaults  in its
obligation  to close  hereunder,  Buyer shall have the right to  terminate  this
Agreement  and receive the  Escrowed  Amount plus Buyer's  actual  out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the transaction  contemplated  herein up to
the maximum amount of Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00), whereupon
this Agreement shall terminate without further recourse. Buyer hereby waives and
relinquishes any right to sue Seller for any reason whatsoever,  and agrees that
Seller  shall  not be liable to Buyer  for any  actual,  punitive,  speculative,
consequential or other damages for breach by Seller prior to the Closing, except
for payment of the  Escrowed  Amount.  IN NO EVENT SHALL  SELLER,  ITS DIRECT OR
INDIRECT PARTNERS,  SHAREHOLDERS,  OWNERS OR AFFILIATES,  ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR,
EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE  FOREGOING,  OR ANY  AFFILIATE  OR  CONTROLLING  PERSON
THEREOF,  HAVE ANY LIABILITY  BEYOND ITS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR ANY CLAIM,
CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY  ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE  PROPERTY,  WHETHER  BASED ON COMMON LAW,  CONTRACT,  STATUTE,  EQUITY OR
OTHERWISE.

      10.2  Buyer's  Default.  In the event that Buyer  shall have failed in any
material  respect adverse to Seller as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed by Buyer on or before the Closing  Date,  or if Buyer  defaults in its
obligation to close hereunder,  Seller shall be entitled to receive the Escrowed
Amount as liquidated  damages, in lieu of all other remedies available to Seller
at law or in equity for such default, and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to
release the Escrowed  Amount to Seller.  Seller and Buyer agree that the damages
resulting  to Seller as a result of such default by Buyer as of the date of this
Agreement are difficult or  impossible to ascertain and the  liquidated  damages
set forth in the preceding sentence  constitute Buyer's and Seller's  reasonable
estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Buyer's
default or a  termination  of this  Agreement,  Seller  shall have all  remedies
available  at law or in  equity in the event  Buyer or any party  related  to or
affiliated  with Buyer  asserts any claims or rights to the Property  that would
otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable
title to the Property.

      10.3 Indemnity. Buyer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller
from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  causes  of  action,  loss,
liabilities,  damages,  costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and court  costs) of every kind and  character  asserted  against or incurred by
Seller at any time and from time to time by reason of or  arising as a result of
the ownership,  occupancy, operation, use, and/or maintenance of the Property by
Buyer  for the  period  from and  after  the  Closing  Date.  Seller  agrees  to
indemnify,  hold  harmless and defend Buyer from and against any and all claims,
demands,  causes of  action,  loss,  liabilities,  damages,  costs and  expenses
(including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  court  costs)  of  every  kind and
character  asserted  against or  incurred  by Buyer at any time and from time to
time by reason of or arising as a result of the ownership, occupancy, operation,
use,  and/or  maintenance  of the Property by Seller for the period prior to the
Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing.

            (a) Buyer is a  Missouri  corporation,  duly  organized  and in good
      standing  under  the laws of the State of  Missouri,  is  qualified  to do
      business in the State of Missouri and has the power and authority to enter
      into this  Agreement  and to execute and  deliver  this  Agreement  and to

      the consummation of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereby,
      nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement  conflict with or will result in the breach of any of the terms,
      conditions  or provisions of any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is
      a party or by which Buyer or any of Buyer's assets is bound;

            (c)   Buyer is not in any way affiliated with Seller;

            (d) No approval, consent, order or authorization of, or designation,
      registration or declaration  with, any of the United States,  the State of

      subdivisions  thereof,  or any  official  thereof  or any  third  party is
      required in  connection  with the valid  execution  and  delivery  of, and
      performance of the covenants of, this Agreement by Buyer.

            (e) There are no actions,  suits or  proceedings  pending or, to the
      knowledge  of Buyer,  threatened,  against or affecting  Buyer  which,  if
      determined  adversely  to Buyer,  would  adversely  affect its  ability to
      perform its obligations hereunder.

      As a condition  precedent to Seller's obligation to close the purchase and
sale transaction  contemplated in this Agreement,  Buyer's  representations  and
warranties  contained  herein  must  remain  and be true and  correct  as of the
Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of
any facts,  conditions or circumstances  which render any of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 11.1 in any way inaccurate, incomplete,
incorrect or misleading.

      11.2  Seller's  Representations  and  Warranties.   Seller  is  a  general
partnership existing under the laws of the State of Missouri.

            (a)  Seller  has  full  right,  power  and  authority  and  is  duly
      authorized to enter into this  Agreement  and on the Closing Date,  Seller
      shall have the full right,  power and  authority,  to perform  each of the
      covenants  on its  part  to be  performed  hereunder  and to  execute  and
      deliver, and to perform its obligations under all documents required to be

      shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable in
      accordance with its terms.

            (b) Seller has directed its manager to deliver or to make  available
      to Buyer (i) complete copies of all Leases and (ii) the Rent Roll.

      proceedings  against or affecting  the Seller or the Property  that either
      (i)  are not  covered  by  applicable  insurance  or  (ii)  if  determined
      adversely to Seller would materially  affect the ownership or operation of
      the  Property or Seller's  ability to perform its  obligations  under this
      Agreement.

      Seller  reserves the right to update the  representations  and  warranties
made by it herein.  All of  Seller's  representations  and  warranties  shall be
deemed to be updated by  information  disclosed  to or obtained by  Purchaser in
connection with its due diligence investigations.

      11.3 Seller;  Seller's  Knowledge.  Whenever a  representation  is made to
"Seller's  knowledge",  or a term  of  similar  import,  the  accuracy  of  such
representation  shall be based solely on the actual knowledge of Peter Sullivan,
without independent investigation or inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if,
prior to the Closing,  Buyer obtains actual knowledge that any representation or
warranty  of  Seller  is  inaccurate  and Buyer  nonetheless  proceeds  with the
Closing,  Seller shall have no  liability  for any such matter  regarding  which
Buyer had actual knowledge prior to Closing.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      12.1 Successors and Assigns.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,
Buyer shall not,  directly or  indirectly,  assign this  Agreement or any of its
rights  hereunder.  Any attempted  assignment in violation  hereof shall, at the
election  of Seller in its sole  discretion,  be of no force or effect and shall
constitute a default by Buyer.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing and so long as it
will not affect the Lender's  consent to or the timing of the Closing  Buyer may
elect to have a nominee entity accept title to the Property at Closing, provided
that any such nominee must be an affiliated entity controlled by or under common
control  with Buyer,  and Buyer  shall give  written  notice of such  nominee to
Seller,  together  with any  reasonable  evidence of  affiliation  requested  by
Seller,  a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to Closing.  No  designation  of a
nominee to receive  title shall release  Buyer from its  obligations  under this
Agreement.

      12.2 Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
required or permitted to be delivered  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and shall be deemed  given (i) when  delivered or refused if sent by hand during
regular  business  hours,  (ii) three (3) days after being sent by United States
Postal Service,  registered or certified mail,  postage prepaid,  return receipt
requested,  or (iii) on the next business day when sent by a reputable overnight
express mail service  that  provides  tracing and proof of receipt or refusal of
items mailed,  addressed to Seller or Buyer,  as the case may be, at the address
or  addresses  set  forth  below or such  other  addresses  as the  parties  may
designate  in a notice  similarly  sent.  Any notice  given by a party to Escrow
Agent shall be  simultaneously  given to the other party.  Any notice given by a
party to the other party  relating to its  entitlement  to the  Escrowed  Amount
shall be simultaneously given to the Escrow Agent.

held and construed to include any other gender,  and words of a singular  number
shall be held to include the plural and vice versa,  unless the context requires

      12.4 Captions.  The captions used in connection  with the Articles of this
Agreement are for convenience  only and shall not be deemed to extend,  limit or
otherwise define or construe the meaning of the language of this Agreement.

      12.5 No Other Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement,  express or implied, is
intended  to confer upon any  person,  other than the  parties  hereto and their
respective  successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Agreement.

      12.6  Amendments.  This  Agreement  may  be  amended  only  by  a  written
instrument executed by Seller and Buyer (or Buyer's assignee or transferee).

      12.7  Severability.  If any provision of this  Agreement or application to
any  party  or  circumstance  shall be  determined  by any  court  of  competent

this  Agreement  or  the  application  of  such  provision  to  such  person  or
circumstances,  other  than  those as to which it is so  determined  invalid  or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be
valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      12.8  Applicable  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  construed  under and in
accordance with the laws of state in which the Property is located.

      12.9  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in two (2) or more
counterparts,  each of which shall be an original but such counterparts together
shall constitute one and the same instrument notwithstanding that both Buyer and

      12.10 Time of the Essence. Time is expressly declared to be of the essence
of this Agreement,  provided, however that in the event any date hereunder falls
on a Saturday,  Sunday or legal holiday,  the date applicable  shall be the next
business day.

      12.11 No Personal Liability.  The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be
binding only on the Property and neither Buyer nor anyone  claiming by,  through

Seller or Seller's partners or any of their successors.

      12.12 No Recordation.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,  there
shall be no recordation of either this  Agreement or any memorandum  hereof,  or
any affidavit  pertaining  hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or
memorandum hereto by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall

      12.13 Waiver.  The excuse or waiver of the  performance  by a party of any
obligation  of the other party under this  Agreement  shall only be effective if
evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.  No
delay in exercising any right or remedy shall  constitute a waiver thereof,  and
no waiver by Seller or Buyer of the  breach of any  covenant  of this  Agreement
shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same
or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

      12.14 Binding On Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement  shall be binding
upon and  inure to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective

the  parties.  All  Exhibits and  Schedules  attached  hereto are a part of this
Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

      12.16  Construction  of Agreement.  This Agreement  shall not be construed
more  strictly  against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the
fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties,
it being  recognized that both Buyer and Seller have  contributed  substantially
and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

      12.17 Further  Instruments.  Each party,  promptly upon the request of the
other,  shall  execute and have  acknowledged  and  delivered to the other or to
Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate,  any and all further instruments reasonably
requested or  appropriate  to evidence or give effect to the  provisions of this
Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

to Seller that (i) Buyer is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position
in relation to Seller,  (ii) Buyer is represented by legal counsel in connection
with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement,  and (iii) Buyer is buying
the Property for business,  commercial,  investment or other similar purpose and
not for use as Buyer's residence.

Closing shall be in the form prepared to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller's
and Buyer's  counsel and  delivered to Buyer within two (2) business days of the
date hereof,  provided that the failure to timely deliver such  documents  shall
not constitute a default by Seller hereunder.

is a general partner of the Partnership;

      WHEREAS, Paragon/Charter Oak Associates, Ltd. ("Paragon") is a general

      RESOLVED, that each of PWIP and Paragon hereby: (i) authorizes the sale of
the Complex to the Buyer in  accordance  with and  pursuant to the terms of that
certain  Purchase  and Sale  Agreement,  dated as of July 16,  1998  between the
Partnership  and the Buyer (the "Purchase  Agreement"),  and (ii) authorizes the

      RESOLVED, that PWIP is hereby authorized,  empowered and directed, for and
on  behalf  and in the name of the  Partnership,  as a general  partner,  to act
singly on behalf of the  Partnership  to  execute,  acknowledge  and deliver all

and execute,  deliver  and, as  appropriate,  file any and all such  agreements,
instruments,  documents  and  certificates  as required or  contemplated  by the
Purchase  Agreement  or the  Transaction  Documents,  or  which  PWIP  otherwise
determines to be reasonably related to the purposes of the Purchase Agreement or
the Transaction  Documents or the consummation of the transactions  contemplated
thereby in each case in the name and on behalf of the Partnership as its general
partner,  provided  that (i) each  such  agreement,  instrument,  document,  and
certificate  contain such terms and conditions,  changes therein,  additions and
amendments thereto, and deletions therefrom,  if any, as shall be determined and
approved by both PWIP and Paragon to be  necessary,  appropriate,  or desirable,
and (ii) Paragon reviews and approves the proposed settlement  statement for the
