ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Orchards Shopping Center

In 1983, the Partnership funded a $3,709,772 loan collateralized by a
wrap-around mortgage on the Orchards Office Building (the "Building") and
Shopping Center (the "Center"), Loveland, Colorado (together, the "Property").
In 1987, the Partnership received $100,000 from the borrower as a principal
payment.  Subsequently in 1987, the Partnership obtained title to the
Property through foreclosure subject to two existing mortgage loans.  The
Partnership sold a 1.1-acre outparcel in 1989 and received net proceeds of
approximately $340,000.  In 1991, the Partnership acquired approximately
83,333 square feet of vacant land adjacent to the Property and sold the land
in 1993 receiving net proceeds of approximately $277,000.  In 1991, the
Partnership repaid one of the mortgage loans utilizing $3,292,496 of 
Partnership funds and in 1992 refinanced the other underlying mortgage loan 
with a new $2,853,000 loan (the "Loan") from an unaffiliated lender (the 
"Lender").  The Partnership received approximately $2,044,000 of net proceeds.

In 1994, the Partnership sold the Building to an unaffiliated third party.  
From the sale proceeds, the Partnership paid the Lender a $1,000,000 principal
payment and a $50,000 prepayment premium and the Lender released its first
mortgage lien from the Building.  The Partnership received approximately
$150,000 of net proceeds from the sale of the Building.

On April 14, 1997, the Partnership contracted to sell the Center to an
unaffiliated party, 29th Street Investments, LLC, a Colorado limited liability
company, for a sale price of $7,200,000.  The purchaser has deposited
$150,000 into an escrow account as earnest money.  The remainder of the sale
price will be payable in cash at closing, scheduled for June 3, 1997.  Upon
certain conditions, the purchaser has the right to extend the closing to June
17, 1997 upon written notice to the Partnership on or before May 30, 1997.
From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership will repay the outstanding
principal balance of the first mortgage loan, which is expected to be
approximately $1,603,000 at closing, and will pay a prepayment penalty of
approximately $23,000 and a total of $252,000 as a brokerage commission to
two parties, one of which is an affiliate of the third party providing
property management services for the Center. The Partnership will receive the
remaining proceeds of approximately $5,322,000, less closing costs.
 
Neither the General Partner nor any affiliate will receive a brokerage
commission in connection with the sale of the Center.  The General Partner
will be reimbursed by the Partnership for actual expenses incurred in
connection with the sale.

The closing is subject to the satisfaction of numerous terms and conditions.
There can be no assurance that all of the terms and conditions will be
complied with and, therefore, it is possible the sale of the Center may not
occur. 

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
- ----------------------------------

The Woods Apartments

As previously reported, on March 12, 1997, the Partnership contracted to sell
The Woods Apartments to an unaffiliated party, Mid-America Apartments of
Texas, L.P., a Texas limited partnership.  The sale price is $10,000,000. 
The sale closed on April 15, 1997.  From the proceeds of the sale, the
Partnership paid $200,000 as a brokerage commission to an affiliate of the
third party providing property management services for the property and
$30,158 in closing costs.  The Partnership received the remaining proceeds of
approximately $9,770,000.  Of such proceeds, $200,000 will be retained by the
Partnership and will not be available for use or distribution by the
Partnership until 60 days after the closing.

to as ("Title Insurer") dated February 3, 1997 for the Property (the "Title

(b) general real estate taxes, association assessments, special assessments,
special district taxes and related charges not yet due and payable;

inclusive and 32 through 38 inclusive, to the extent that same affect the
Property.  All other exceptions to title shall be referred to as "Unpermitted
Exceptions".  The Title Commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good title 
as therein shown as to all matters to be insured by the title policy, subject
only to the exceptions therein stated. 

On the Closing Date, Title Insurer shall deliver to Purchaser a standard title

coverage on, the Title Policy.

     3.2.  Purchaser has received a survey of the Property prepared by Don 
Frederick Land Surveying dated September 28, 1992 (the "Existing Survey"). 
Purchaser shall pay for the costs of updating the Existing Survey and Seller

<PAGE>
     
     3.3. The obligation of Purchaser to pay various costs set forth in 
Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.   PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS.  In addition to the costs set forth in 
Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2, Purchaser shall pay for all of the costs of the 
documentary or transfer stamps to be paid with reference to the "Deed" 
(hereinafter defined) and all other stamps, intangible, transfer, documentary,
recording, sales tax and surtax imposed by law with reference to any other 
sale documents delivered in connection with the sale of the Property to 
Purchaser and all other charges of the Title Insurer in connection with this
transaction. 

5.   CONDITION OF TITLE.

     5.1.  If, prior to "Closing" (as hereinafter defined), a date-down to 
the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey discloses any new Unpermitted 
Exception, Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the date-down
to the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey, as applicable, at Seller's 
expense, to (i) bond over (in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), 
cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate, do not 
exceed $25,000.00, removed from the Title Commitment or to have the Title 
Insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by 
such Unpermitted Exceptions, or (ii) have the right, but not the obligation,
to bond over (in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), cure and/or 
have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate, equal or exceed
$25,000.00, removed from the Title Commitment or to have the Title Insurer 
commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such 
Unpermitted Exceptions. In such event, the time of Closing shall be delayed,
if necessary, to give effect to said aforementioned time periods.  If Seller
fails to cure or have said Unpermitted Exception removed or have the Title 
Insurer commit to insure as specified above within said thirty (30) day 
period or if Seller elects not to exercise its rights under  (ii)  in the 
preceding sentence, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon notice to 
Seller within five (5) business days after the expiration of said thirty
(30) day period.  Absent notice from Purchaser to Seller in accordance with the
preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title 
subject to said Unpermitted Exception.  If Purchaser terminates this 
Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.1, this Agreement
shall become null and void without further action of the parties and all 
Earnest Money theretofore deposited into the escrow by Purchaser together 
with any interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and 
neither party shall have any further liability to the other, except for 
Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more
fully set forth in Paragraph 7.

     5.2.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property to 
Purchaser by special warranty deed (the "Deed") in recordable form subject 
only to the Permitted Exceptions and any Unpermitted Exceptions waived in 
writing by Purchaser.

6.   CONDEMNATION, EMINENT DOMAIN, DAMAGE AND CASUALTY.

     6.1.  Except as provided in the indemnity provisions contained in 
Paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with 
respect to the Property up to the earlier of the dates upon which either 
possession or title is transferred to Purchaser in accordance with this 
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the 
Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which 
would cost less than or equal to $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good 
faith) Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall have the right to elect to
either repair and restore the Property (in which case the Closing Date shall
be extended until completion of such restoration) or to assign and transfer to
Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and 
to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or
casualty.  
<PAGE>
Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any such fire or other 
casualty and Seller's determination of the cost to repair the damage caused 
thereby.  In the event of damage to the Property by fire or other casualty 
prior to the Closing Date, repair of which would cost in excess of 
$100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good faith), then this Agreement may
be terminated at the option of Purchaser, which option shall be exercised, if
at all, by Purchaser's written notice thereof to Seller within five (5) 
business days after Purchaser receives written notice of such fire or other 
casualty and Seller's determination of the amount of such damages, and
upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser this Agreement shall become 
null and void, the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser shall be returned to
Purchaser together with interest thereon, and neither party shall have any 
further liability or obligations hereunder.  In the event that Purchaser does
not exercise the option set forth in the preceding sentence, the Closing 
shall take place on the Closing Date and Seller shall assign and transfer to
Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in 
and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of the 
fire or casualty.

     6.2.  If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which might result 
in the taking of any part of the Property or the taking or closing of any right
of access to the Property, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such
occurrence.  In the event that the taking of any part of the Property shall:
(i) materially impair access to the Property; (ii) cause any material 
non-compliance with any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any
federal, state or local authority or governmental agencies having 
jurisdiction over the Property or any portion thereof; (iii) result in a 
taking of greater than ten percent (10%) of rentable square footage of the 
Property; or (iv) materially and adversely impair the use of the Property as
it is currently being operated (hereinafter collectively referred to as
a "Material Event"), Purchaser may:

          6.2.1.  terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in 
which event the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest 
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the 
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease; 
or

          6.2.2.  proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign 
to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award 
made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

     6.3. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days 
after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to 
exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2.  Closing shall
be delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election.  If Purchaser
fails to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser 
shall be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2.
If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation
or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a 
Material Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in 
which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or 
eminent domain proceedings.

7.   INSPECTION AND AS-IS CONDITION.

     7.1.  During the period commencing on March 31, 1997 and ending at 5:00 
p.m. Chicago time on May 1, 1997 (said period being herein referred to as the 
"Inspection Period"), Purchaser and the agents, engineers, employees, 
contractors and surveyors retained by Purchaser may enter upon the Property,
at any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, to inspect 
the Property, including a review of leases located at the Property, and to 
conduct and prepare such studies, tests and surveys as Purchaser may deem 
reasonably necessary and appropriate.  
<PAGE>
In connection with Purchaser's review of the Property, Seller agrees to 
deliver to Purchaser copies of the current rent roll for the Property, copies 
of leases affecting the Property, the most recent tax and insurance bills, 
utility account numbers, service contracts, building plans for the Property 
(to the extent available to Seller) and unaudited year end 1994 (if available),
1995, 1996 and 1997 year-to-date operating statements.   

     All of the foregoing tests, investigations and studies to be conducted 
under this Paragraph 7.1 by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser's sole cost and 
expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing 
prior to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of 
Purchaser.  Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any 
affiliate, parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers and 
directors of Seller or Seller's affiliate or parent (hereinafter collectively 
referred to as "Affiliate of Seller") harmless from any and all liability, 
cost and expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, 
court costs and costs of appeal) suffered or incurred by Seller or Affiliates 
of Seller for injury to persons or property caused by Purchaser's 
investigations and inspection of the Property.  Purchaser shall undertake its 
obligation to defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys 
selected by Seller, in Seller's sole discretion.  

     Prior to commencing any such tests, studies and investigations, Purchaser 
shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing comprehensive 
general public liability insurance insuring the person, firm or entity 
performing such tests, studies and investigations and listing Seller and 
Purchaser as additional insureds thereunder.

     If Purchaser is dissatisfied with the results of the tests, studies or
investigations performed or information received pursuant to this Paragraph 
7.1, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving 
written notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the 
expiration of the Inspection Period.  If written notice is not received by 
Seller pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, then the right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to 
this Paragraph 7.1 shall be waived.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement by 
written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period: (i) 
Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of all studies, reports and 
other investigations obtained by Purchaser from unaffiliated third parties in 
connection with its due diligence during the Inspection Period; and (ii) the
Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser shall be immediately paid to Purchaser,
together with any interest earned thereon, and neither Purchaser nor Seller 
shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement, except 
for Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as 
more fully set forth in this Paragraph 7.1.  Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the terms of this Paragraph 7.1, shall survive the 
Closing and the delivery of the Deed and  termination of this Agreement.
     7.2.  Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 16, Seller makes no
representations or warranties relating to the condition of the Property or the
Personal Property.  Subject to Seller's representations and warranties set 
forth in Paragraph 16, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be 
purchasing the Property and the Personal Property based solely upon its 
inspections and investigations of the Property and the Personal Property, and 
that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property and the Personal Property "AS
IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS", based upon the condition of the Property and the 
Personal Property as of the end of the Inspection Period, wear and tear and 
loss by fire or other casualty or condemnation excepted.  Without limiting the 
foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that, except as may otherwise be 
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Seller nor its 
consultants, brokers or agents have made any representations or warranties of 
any kind upon which Purchaser is relying as to any matters

the Affiliates of Seller from any and all liability in connection with any 
claims which Purchaser may have against Seller or the Affiliates of Seller, 
and Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims for contribution, cost 
recovery or otherwise, against Seller or the Affiliates of Seller, relating

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of this

10.  PURCHASER'S DEFAULT.  ALL EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW IS TO 
SECURE THE TIMELY PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS 
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT OF THE PURCHASER UNDER THE 
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL OF THE EARNEST MONEY 
AND THE INTEREST THEREON AS SELLER'S SOLE RIGHT TO DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER REMEDY,
EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AND RESTORE THE PROPERTY
AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 7.1 HEREOF.  THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S 
ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY 
DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS 
BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, 
AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES.

11.  SELLER'S DEFAULT.  IF THIS SALE IS NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE OF SELLER'S 
DEFAULT, PURCHASER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE THE RETURN OF ALL EARNEST MONEY 
TOGETHER WITH ANY INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL THEN 
BECOME NULL AND VOID AND OF NO EFFECT AND THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER 
LIABILITY TO EACH OTHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS
TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AND RESTORE THE PROPERTY AS SET FORTH MORE FULLY IN 
PARAGRAPH 7 AND THE RIGHT OF PURCHASER TO RECEIVE FROM SELLER ITS ACTUAL, 
DOCUMENTED THIRD PARTY EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS DUE 
DILIGENCE HEREUNDER AND THE PREPARATION OF THE AGREEMENT, NOT TO EXCEED $50,000
IN THE AGGREGATE.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, 
IF SELLER'S DEFAULT IS ITS WILLFUL REFUSAL TO DELIVER ANY OF THE CONVEYANCE 
DOCUMENTS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPHS 9.2.1 THROUGH 9.2.11, INCLUSIVE, THEN
PURCHASER WILL BE ENTITLED TO SUE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

12.  PRORATIONS.

prepaid associations dues, refundable security deposits (which will be assigned
to and assumed by Purchaser and credited to Purchaser at Closing); water and 
other utility charges; fuels; prepaid operating expenses; real and personal 
property taxes prorated on a "net" basis (i.e. adjusted for all tenants' 
liability, if any, for such items); operating expenses which are reimbursable 
by the tenants for the period prior to the Closing Date less any amount 
previously paid by the Tenants shall be credited to Seller; and other similar 
items shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date, and 
credited against the balance of the cash due at Closing.  Assessments payable 
in installments which are due subsequent to the Closing Date shall be paid by 
Purchaser. If the amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then 
ascertainable, the adjustments thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent
ascertainable data. All prorations will be final except as to delinquent rent 
referred to in Paragraph 12.2 below. 

     12.2.  All basic rent paid following the Closing Date by any tenant of the
Property who is indebted under a lease for basic rent for any period prior to 
and including the Closing Date after the payment to Purchaser of all current 
rent and any past due rent owed to Purchaser shall be deemed a "Post-Closing 
Receipt" until such time as all such indebtedness is paid in full.  Within ten 
(10) days following each receipt by Purchaser of a Post-Closing Receipt, 
Purchaser shall pay such Post-Closing Receipt to Seller.  During the first 90 
days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable 
efforts to collect all amounts which, upon collection, would constitute 
Post-Closing Receipts hereunder but shall have no obligation to bring legal 
action or incur legal fees.  Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser
<PAGE>
shall deliver to Seller a reconciliation statement of Post-Closing Receipts 
through the first 90 days after the Closing Date.  Upon the delivery of the 
Post-Closing Receipts reconciliation, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any 
Post-Closing Receipts owing to Seller and not previously delivered to Seller
in accordance with the terms hereof.  Seller retains the right to conduct an
audit, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice and at Seller's cost,
of Purchaser's books and records to verify the accuracy of the Post-Closing 
Receipts reconciliation statement and, in the event that additionalfunds are
determined by the audit to be owing to Seller, Purchaser shall pay to Seller
said additional Post-Closing Receipts and reimburse Seller for the cost 
of performing Seller's audit.  Paragraph 12.2 of this Agreement shall survive 
the Closing and the delivery and recording of the deed.

13.  RECORDING.  Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be 
recorded and the act of recording by Purchaser shall be an act of default 
hereunder by Purchaser and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.

14.  ASSIGNMENT.  The Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its interest
in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller, except that 
no consent shall be required with respect to an assignment to an entity in 
which Paul D. Menzies and Marvin T. Levin have a direct or indirect 25% 
ownership interest. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, any 
assignment or transfer of, or attempt to assign or transfer, Purchaser's 
interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser 
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.

15.  BROKER.  The parties hereto represent and warrant that no broker 
commission or finder fee is due and payable in connection with this 
transaction other than to Insignia Mortgage & Investment Company ("Insignia")

Insignia).  Seller's commission to Insignia and the commission owed to Fuller 
shall only be payable out of the proceeds of the sale of the Property in the 
event the transaction set forth herein closes. Purchaser and Seller shall 
indemnify, defend and hold the other party hereto harmless from any claim 
whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court 
costs and costs of appeal) from anyone claiming by or through the 
indemnifying party any fee, commission or compensation on account of this 
Agreement, its negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated other than to 
Insignia and Fuller.  The indemnifying party shall undertake its obligations
set forth in this Paragraph 15 using attorneys selected by the indemnifying 
party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.  The provisions of
this Paragraph 15 will survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

respect, said party shall promptly disclose said information to the other party

any deliberate actions to cause the representation or warranty in question to 
become untrue in any material respect, said party shall not be in default under
this Agreement and the sole remedy of the other party shall be to terminate 
this Agreement, except for Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and

incurred by Seller prior to Closing.

(together with an estimation of the New Lease Costs).  If approved by 
Purchaser, a complete copy of any such new lease or existing lease 
modification or renewal shall be delivered to Purchaser within ten (10) days
of the full execution thereof.  All New Lease Costs shall be paid by 
Purchaser and Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any New Lease 
Costs incurred by Seller prior to Closing.

26.  TENANT CERTIFICATE CONDITION TO CLOSING.  

     26.1.     The following terms have been defined as follows for convenience
of reference:

          (i)  "Tenant Certificate" means a certificate addressed to Purchaser,
     in the form set forth on Exhibit L hereto.

          (ii) "Qualification" means any assertion in a Tenant Certificate 
     that, in Purchaser's good faith judgment, is of (a) a material and adverse
     claim, counterclaim, offset or defense against the landlord, (b) 
     information which is
<PAGE>
     contrary to the information contained in the rent roll attached hereto as 
     Exhibit M or to the leases delivered to Purchaser by Seller, (c) a 
     material obligation of the landlord not contained in this Agreement or any
     written material (including any lease) delivered by Seller to Purchaser or
     (d) a default on the part of the landlord giving rise to a termination 
     right of tenant;

          (iv) "Unacceptable Qualification" means any Qualification other than 
     the following:

               (a)  a Qualification which is expressly disclosed on the rent 
          roll attached hereto as Exhibit M, provided the same is not as a 
          result of a default by Seller; or

               (b)  a Qualification expressly disclosed in this Agreement or 
          the Exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof.

     26.2.     If a Qualification is not an Unacceptable Qualification, it 
shall not affect Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder or give rise to any
liability from Seller to Purchaser.

     26.3.     Seller shall promptly request a Tenant Certificate in the form 
of Exhibit L from all tenants, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
pursue the collection of the same.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, upon 
Seller's receipt thereof, all Tenant Certificates signed by tenants (whether in
the form of Exhibit L or otherwise).  

     26.4.     It shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligations hereunder 
(the "Estoppel Condition") that Seller deliver to Purchaser, at or prior to 
May 27, 1997 (i) a Tenant Certificate from (i) each tenant of the Property 
occupying or leasing at least 10,000 square feet of gross leasable area of 
the Property ("Major Tenant"), and (ii) a Tenant Certificate from tenants 
leasing in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage 
remaining of the Property after the deduction of the square footage rented by 
the Major Tenants. A Tenant Certificate shall not be counted toward 
satisfaction of the Estoppel Condition if such certificate discloses 
Unacceptable Qualifications; provided that Unacceptable Qualifications with 
an aggregate "Estoppel Qualification Sum" (hereinafter defined) of less than
$100,000 shall be permitted as provided herein.  The "Estoppel Qualification
Sum" shall mean the following:

          (i)  if the claim asserted arises out of a defect which can be cured,
     with the expenditure of money on a one time basis, such as a physical 
     defect, then such sum shall be calculated by a reasonable estimate of the 
     cost to repair or remediate said defect; and

          (ii) if the claim asserted affects a continuing obligation of a 
     tenant under the lease, such as the payment of rent, then the claim shall 
     be calculated by (i) determining the amount of the claim on a per annum 
     basis, (ii) multiplying said amount by the number of years or partial 
     years said claim would affect the monetary obligations under the lease 
     and (iii) discounting said product on a present value basis using a 
     discount rate of 10% per annum.

     If the Unacceptable Qualifications have an Estoppel Qualification Sum of 
less than $100,000 in the aggregate for all of the Leases, then Seller shall 
either (i) grant Purchaser a credit at Closing for an amount equal to the 
Estoppel Qualification Sum, or (ii) cure all conditions giving rise to an 
Unacceptable Qualification on or before the Closing.  The determination to 
perform the covenant contained in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) in the preceding 
sentence shall be made by Seller in its sole discretion.  Provided Seller 
performs its covenant in this Paragraph 26.4, the disclosure of Unacceptable 
Qualifications having an Estoppel
<PAGE>
Qualification Sum of less than $100,000 in the
aggregate shall not affect Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder or give 
rise to any additional liability from Seller to Purchaser.

     26.5.     If Seller has not satisfied the Estoppel Condition on or before 
May 27, 1997, then Purchaser shall have the right either (i) to terminate this
Agreement, or (ii) extend the Closing Date until June 17, 1997, by delivering
written notice to Seller on or before May 30, 1997.  If Purchaser exercises its
rights to terminate in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 26.5, this
Agreement shall be null and void without further action of the parties and all
Earnest Money theretofore deposited by Purchaser together with any interest 
accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have 
any further liability to the other, except for those obligations which 
specifically survive the terms hereof.  If Purchaser does not terminate this
