          ----------------------------------

          (i)    Prorations.  The following shall be apportioned with respect to
                 ----------
     the Property, based on the number of days Seller and Purchaser each own the
     Property in the month, tax year or other applicable period in which the
     Closing occurs, as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, as if Purchaser were
     vested with title to the Property during the entire day which is the
     Closing Date; provided, however, in the event that Seller receives the net
     proceeds from the closing escrowee after 1:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time)
     on the Closing Date and, as a result of Seller receiving such funds after
     such time Seller is unable to invest the net proceeds from the transaction
     with Seller's bank on the Closing Date, then, for purposes of
     apportionments, Purchaser shall be deemed vested with title to the Property
     beginning on the next business day following the Closing Date (it being
     intended that, in the event that the day following the Closing Date is not
     a business day, Seller shall be deemed vested with title during the Closing
     Date and on all consecutive days, if any, subsequent to the Closing Date
     that are not business days):

                 (a) all collected rents and other sums received under Leases
          other than Security Deposits ("Rents");

                 (b) all unapplied cash Security Deposits;

                 (c) taxes and assessments (including, without limitation,

          Property;

                 (d) pre-payments and accrued amounts due under any Service
          Contracts;

                 (e) water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone and other
          utility and fuel charges for which Seller is liable, if any; such
          charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent
          meter reading occurring prior to Closing (which Seller shall request
          to be read not more than three (3) days prior to Closing) or, if
          unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility;

                 (f) fees paid for assignable licenses or permits, if any;
          and

<PAGE>

          (ii)      Method of Prorations.  Notwithstanding anything contained in
                    --------------------
     the foregoing provisions:

                    (a) At Closing, (1) Seller shall credit to the account of
          Purchaser the amount of all unapplied cash Security Deposits (together
          with any interest required to be paid thereon under the Leases) held
          by Seller under Leases, (2) Seller shall credit to the account of
          Purchaser the amount of any Rents that Seller has received as of
          Closing and that are attributable to the month(s) subsequent to the
          month in which the Closing occurs, and (3) Purchaser shall credit to
          the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted
          with utility companies serving the Property which the utility
          companies permit to be assigned and which are assigned to Purchaser at
          Closing pursuant to the Service Contract Assignment.

                    (b) Purchaser and Seller agree to prorate real estate taxes
          and assessments for the period for which such taxes are assessed,
          regardless of when payable, it being acknowledged that the real estate
          taxes for the Property, which are due and payable during the fourth
          quarter of each year, are comprised of several components payable to
          several different taxing bodies and which are attributable to
          different fiscal periods.  Any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall
          be prorated as aforesaid based upon the amounts actually paid, with
          Purchaser being charged and Seller being credited at Closing with that
          portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period on
          or after the Closing Date.  If taxes and assessments for the fiscal
          year in which Closing occurs have been determined but have not been
          paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged and Purchaser credited at
          Closing with an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and
          assessments which relates to the period before the Closing Date and
          Purchaser shall pay such taxes and assessments after Closing prior to
          their becoming delinquent.  If the actual taxes and assessments are
          not known at Closing, the proration shall be based upon the most
          recent assessed values and tax rates.  To the extent that the actual
          taxes and assessments paid differ from the amount apportioned at
          Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by
          appropriate payments between themselves within 30 days of the issuance
          of final tax bills.

                    (c) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (1)
          all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing
          commissions which are set forth on EXHIBIT S attached hereto, (2) all
                                             ---------
          Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which are set forth in
          a Lease existing as of the date hereof and pursuant to the applicable
          Lease are not due and payable prior to the Closing Date and are not
          payable in connection with the existing (or any prior) term or tenancy
          of the applicable premises covered by such Lease (it being understood
          that the amounts for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to this
          sub-clause (2) include any amounts payable at the time of a tenant's
          exercise of any rights after Closing which occurs during the existing
          term or any future term of the Lease, including an election to expand
          into additional space not occupied as of Closing for the remainder of
          the existing term of such tenant's Lease), and (3) all New Lease Costs
          (as defined in Section 11.L. below).  Seller shall be responsible for
          the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions
          payable prior to the Closing Date which are not described in clause
          (1), (2) or (3) of the preceding sentence and, in the event that any
          such amounts are payable after Closing, then Seller shall be charged
          and Purchaser shall be credited at Closing with such amounts and
          Purchaser shall thereafter be responsible for the payment of such

                                       9
<PAGE>

          amounts.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary in
          no event shall Purchaser be responsible for the payment of leasing
          commissions payable to Equity Office Properties Management Corp.
          ("EOPMC") or any other affiliate thereof or of Seller (in any case, an
          "EOP Entity") unless such amount is included in the New Lease Costs.
          In the event that the New Lease Costs include a leasing commission
          payable to EOPMC and the total leasing commission payable in
          connection with such New Lease to EOPMC and any third party exceeds
          six percent (6%) of the base rental to be paid over the term of the
          New Lease (excluding renewal options or any period which may be
          omitted from the lease term through a right of cancellation granted to
          the tenant), then EOPMC's leasing commission shall be reduced so that
          the total leasing commission payable to EOPMC and any third party
          shall equal six percent (6%) of the base rental to be paid over the
          term of the New Lease (excluding renewal options or any period which
          may be omitted from the lease term through a right of cancellation
          granted to the tenant).  If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have
          paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions or New Lease
          Costs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the forgoing
          provisions, Purchaser shall be charged, and Seller shall be credited,
          for such amounts at Closing.  For purposes hereof, the term "Tenant
          Inducement Costs" shall mean any payments required under a Lease to be
          paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant
          thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including
          specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs or
          allowances, lease buyout costs, moving, design, refurbishment and club
          membership allowances.  The term "Tenant Inducement Costs" shall not
          include legal fees or loss of income resulting from any free rental
          period; it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting from
          any free rental period until the date of Closing and that Purchaser
          shall bear such loss from and after the Closing Date.

                 (d) Set forth on EXHIBIT Q attached hereto is a list of
                                  ---------
          capital projects (the "Capital Projects") that are presently occurring
          at the Property.  All costs attributable to such Capital Projects are
          called "Capital Project Costs".  The contracts that have been entered
          into for the Capital Projects as of the date of this Agreement are
          those Service Contracts that are listed under the heading
          "Construction Contracts" on attached EXHIBIT C (the "Existing Capital
                                               ---------
          Service Contracts").  Such Existing Capital Service Contracts comprise
          a portion of the contracts necessary to complete the Capital Projects.
          Any contracts necessary to complete the Capital Projects that have not
          yet been entered into as of the date of this Agreement shall be
          subject to the applicable provisions of Section 11.V. below with
          respect to approval by Purchaser.  As the work is ongoing, all amounts
          in the columns in EXHIBIT Q entitled "Paid To Date" and "Incurred-Not
                            ---------
          Paid" are only approximations as of July 28, 1999, it being understood
          that such amounts may fluctuate depending upon the amount of work that
          has occurred since such date and amounts paid under contracts since
          such date.  Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all
          Capital Project Costs.  In the event that any such Capital Project
          Costs have been paid by Seller as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall
          be charged and Seller shall be credited with any amounts previously
          paid by Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of all
          remaining Capital Project Costs after Closing.

                 (e) Non-Delinquent Rent (as hereinafter defined) collected
          by Seller after Closing attributable to periods from and after Closing
          shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser.  Delinquent Rent (as
          hereinafter defined) collected by Seller and/or Purchaser after the
          date of Closing shall be delivered by the recipient as follows:
          within fifteen

                                       10
<PAGE>

          (15) days after the receipt thereof, Seller and Purchaser agree that
          all Delinquent Rent received by Seller or Purchaser shall be applied
          first to then current Rents, and then to Rents that are delinquent and
          past due, in inverse order of maturity (that is, in the order of the
          most recently past due Rent first, then the next most recent past due
          Rent, etc.). At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule
          of all past due but uncollected Rent and other sums owed by tenants
          ("Closing Delinquency Schedule"), and Purchaser shall include the
          amount of such Rent and other sums in the first bills thereafter
          submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall
          continue to do so for six (6) months thereafter. Purchaser shall
          promptly deliver to Seller a copy of each such bill submitted to
          tenants. Seller retains the right to pursue those tenants identified
          on EXHIBIT T attached hereto and such other tenants who become
             ---------
          delinquent between the date of this Agreement and Closing and are also
          set forth on the Closing Delinquency Schedule for payment of
          delinquent Rent at any time after the six (6) month period after
          Closing, except that Seller shall not be permitted to file suit to
          evict the tenant or otherwise disturb its tenancy. As used herein, the
          term "Non-Delinquent Rent" shall mean Rent paid by a tenant after
          Closing who was current on all of its obligations to pay Rent as of
          the Closing Date. As used herein, "Delinquent Rent" shall mean Rent
          paid by a tenant after Closing who was listed on the Closing
          Delinquency Schedule.

                 (f) Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently
          collecting from tenants additional rent to cover taxes, insurance,
          utilities, maintenance and/or other operating costs and expenses
          incurred by the owner of the Property in connection with the
          ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property (such
          expenses, collectively "Expenses" and such collections, collectively
          "Collections").  Collections received from tenants prior to the True
          Up (as hereinafter defined) for the month in which Closing occurs
          shall initially be prorated in the same manner as other Rents.  After
          Closing, Seller shall be entitled to retain Collections it has
          received as of Closing, subject to the remaining provisions of this
          Section 4.C.(ii)(f).  Subsequent to Closing, but no later than May 1,
          2000 (the "Reproration Date"), Purchaser shall calculate adjustments
          for Expenses incurred and Collections received for the year of Closing
          and shall prepare and present to Seller a calculation of the
          Collections received and Expenses incurred by each of Seller and
          Purchaser attributable to each party's period of ownership.  The
          parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them
          within 30 days after presentment to Seller of Purchaser's calculation
          (the "True Up").  Either party may inspect the other's books and
          records related to the Property to confirm the calculation.

                    1.  Seller's allocable share of Collections for Leases in
               effect as of the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying
               the total payments due from tenants for the 1999 calendar year
               (that is, the sum of Collections paid or payable by tenants
               during the 1999 calendar year, plus or minus year-end
               adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
               Expenses paid by Seller (whether by direct payment by Seller or
               by proration as provided in this Section 4.C.), and the
               denominator of which is the total Expenses for calendar year
               1999.  In the event that, after such determination and as part of
               the True Up:  (1) the amount of Collections retained by Seller
               for calendar year 1999 as provided above in this Section
               4.C.(ii)(f) is less than the amount of Expenses paid by Seller
               (whether by direct payment by Seller or by proration as provided
               in this Section 4.C. above) with respect to 1999 and the landlord
               under the Leases is entitled to recover such difference under the
               terms of Leases, then

                                       11
<PAGE>

               (y) to the extent that the Collections collected by Purchaser for
               1999 exceeds the Expenses incurred by Purchaser for 1999,
               Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller its excess Collections
               to the extent that the Collections retained by Seller are less
               than the Expenses paid by Seller, and (z) Purchaser shall bill
               such tenants for any remaining amounts owed to Seller after any
               payment provided for in subclause (y) of this sentence, provide
               Seller with copies of such bills upon issuance, and collect such
               amounts on behalf of Seller and, upon receipt, remit such
               collected amounts to Seller; and (2) the amount of Collections
               collected by Seller for 1999 and retained by Seller as provided
               above in this Section 4.C.(ii)(f) exceeds the amount of Expenses
               paid by Seller (whether by direct payment by Seller or by
               proration as provided in this Section 4.C.) with respect to 1999
               then, to the extent Purchaser incurred Expenses for 1999 in
               excess of Collections collected by Purchaser for 1999, Seller
               shall promptly remit to Purchaser a portion of its excess
               Collections to the extent that the Collections retained by
               Purchaser are less than the Expenses paid by Purchaser and
               thereafter, to the extent required under the terms of the Leases,
               Seller shall promptly remit any remaining excess Collections to
               the applicable tenants, provided that, if any such excess amounts
               are otherwise payable to tenants owing Rent set forth on the
               Closing Delinquency Schedule, prior to remitting any remaining
               amounts to such tenants, Seller may offset the amounts due to
               such tenants against Rents owing as of Closing to Seller, and
               remitting any remaining amounts to Purchaser to be applied
               against past due rents owed Purchaser with any remaining amounts
               to be remitted by Purchaser to such tenants.

               (g)  Not later than the Reproration Date, either party shall be
          entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or
          adjustment provided written notice thereof is given to the other party
          on or before the Reproration Date.

               (h)  Seller reserves the right to meet with governmental
          officials and to contest any assessment or reassessment governing or
          affecting Seller's obligations under this Section 4.C., and to attempt
          to obtain a refund for any taxes previously paid. Seller shall retain
          all rights with respect to any refund of taxes applicable to any
          period prior to the Closing Date.

               (i)  In the event that Purchaser sells or otherwise conveys the
          Property prior to the Reproration Date, Purchaser and any subsequent
          owner shall continue to be obligated under this Section 4.C.  Upon and
          after such conveyance, Seller shall continue to be obligated only to
          Purchaser under this Section 4.C.

               (j)  The provisions of this Section 4.C. shall survive Closing
          for a period of one year after the Reproration Date.

     D.   Transaction Costs.  Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the
          -----------------
     base premium for the Title Policy to be issued to Purchaser at Closing, any
     search fees, the cost of an "extended coverage" endorsement and such other
     endorsements that Purchaser may reasonably require up to a maximum of
     $2,500 for all such endorsements.  Purchaser shall be responsible and pay
     for (1) the cost to prepare Survey (subject to Section 3.B.(i) above), (2)
     any State, County or local transfer taxes or documentary stamps (the
     "Transfer Taxes") owed in connection with the Deed

                                       12
<PAGE>

     (and Seller and Purchaser shall timely execute and deliver such forms and
     returns as are necessary in connection therewith), (3) any mortgage taxes
     or stamps, (4) all costs of any and all endorsements to the Title Policy in
     excess of the $2,500 to be paid by Seller as provided in the first sentence
     of this Section 4.D., and (5) all recording charges for recording the Deed.
     Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all escrow fees for
     an escrow Closing at Escrowee's Chicago, Illinois office, not to exceed
     $750. In addition, Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for the
     fees of their respective attorneys, advisors, consultants and accountants.

     E.   Possession. Upon Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser possession
          ----------
     of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

5.   CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION
     ------------------------------

     If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be taken by
eminent domain or condemned, or destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty,
Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser.  In the event that either:  (i) the
reasonable cost to restore the Property due to such damage or destruction is
greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (a "Material Casualty"), or (ii)
any material portion of the Real Property or the Office Buildings is taken or
condemned (a "Material Condemnation"), then Purchaser shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement by delivery of its written termination notice to Seller
within fifteen (15) days of Seller's written notice thereof.  If (a) the
aforementioned casualty is not a Material Casualty, (b) the aforementioned
taking or condemnation is not a Material Condemnation, or (c) Purchaser does not
elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the preceding
sentence (time being of the essence with respect to any such election), then
Seller and Purchaser shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement without abatement of the Purchase Price and Purchaser shall be
entitled during the period following the Inspection Period and prior to Closing
to approve the terms of any property insurance settlement or the terms of any
settlement of any taking or condemnation case, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and to receive at Closing the taking,
condemnation or property insurance proceeds (less any amounts applied against
costs incurred as a result of such occurrence) (it being understood that, in the
event that such property insurance proceeds have not yet been received as of
Closing, Purchaser may elect to receive an assignment of the right to such
proceeds or a credit for the amount of such proceeds with Seller pursuing
payment of such amounts from its insurer after Closing; provided, however, that
Purchaser may only elect to receive a credit for such amounts if the amounts
have been agreed upon with the insurer prior to Closing, the insurance policy
permits payment of a claim to a party that no longer owns the Property and,
after Closing, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and its insurers to
facilitate the processing of claims related to the casualty) plus a credit
against the Purchase Price in the amount of any uninsured loss (as to property
only) and any deductible payable by Seller under applicable property insurance,
and Seller shall, at Closing, execute and deliver to Purchaser all customary
proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items.  If Purchaser
elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.
and Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be
returned to Purchaser by the Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall,
without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those
rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement as
provided herein.

6.   BROKERAGE
     ---------

     Seller, pursuant to a separate written agreement (the "Broker Agreement"),
is obligated to pay upon the Closing of a sale to Purchaser (but not otherwise)
certain amounts to Jones Lang LaSalle Financial & Corporate Services, Inc.
("Broker"). Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against
any and all claims of Broker related to any failure by Seller to pay Broker such
amounts in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property to Purchaser,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
by Purchaser in connection with such claim. Purchaser represents and warrants to
Seller that Purchaser does not have any agreement with any broker or finder in
connection with the Property. Seller and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all brokers and
finders (other than a claim by Broker against Seller of the type described in
the first sentence of this Section 6, which claim Seller shall be obligated to
indemnify Purchaser against as provided above in this Section 6) claiming by,
through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and
purchase of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified
party in connection with such claim. The provisions of this Section 6 shall
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this
Agreement.

7.   CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR; DEFAULT AND REMEDIES; TERMINATION NOTICES; SELLER'S
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT
     --------------------------------

     A.   No Default by Seller or Purchaser. In the event that the Closing fails
          ---------------------------------
     to occur and such failure is not the result of a material default or
     material breach by Seller or Purchaser of their respective obligations
     hereunder (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure
     period(s)), then this Agreement shall terminate, in which event the Earnest
     Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party hereto shall have
     any rights, remedies or obligations hereunder except those that expressly
     survive the termination of this Agreement.

     B.   Seller Default.
          --------------

          (i)  Purchaser to Elect to Either Terminate or Seek Specific
               -------------------------------------------------------
     Performance.  If (1) Seller is in material default or material breach of
     -----------
     its obligations under this Agreement after the expiration of any applicable
     notice and cure period(s), (2) Purchaser is not otherwise in material
     default or material breach hereunder, and (3) the Closing does not occur,
     then, at Purchaser's option, either (x) the Earnest Money shall be returned
     to Purchaser, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void, and
     neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or
     (y) upon notice to Seller not more than ten (10) days after the designated
     Closing Date, and provided an action is filed within thirty (30) days
     thereafter, Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Agreement, but
     not damages (except for any damages permitted under Sections 7.B.(ii),
     (iii) and (iv) below).  Purchaser's failure to seek specific performance as
     aforesaid shall constitute its election to proceed under clause (x) above.
     In the event that Purchaser files an action to obtain specific performance
     in accordance with this Section 7.B.(i) with an alternate request for
     damages in accordance with Sections 7.B.(iii) or 7.B.(iv) below, as
     applicable, and Purchaser is the prevailing party in such a specific
     performance action and/or such a damages action after issuance of a final,
     non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser shall
     be entitled to recover from Seller the reasonable costs and expenses
     incurred by Purchaser to file such suit.  In the event that Purchaser files
     such an action and Purchaser is not the prevailing party in such a specific
     performance and/or damages action after issuance of a final, non-appealable
     order of a court of competent

                                       14
<PAGE>

     jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser the
     reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller to defend such suit. It is
     understood that in the event that Purchaser obtains specific performance,
     that Purchaser shall no longer have the right to seek alternate claims for
     damage under Sections 7.B.(iii) and 7.B.(iv) below.

          (ii)   Specific Performance Not Available to Purchaser Because Seller
                 --------------------------------------------------------------
     has Sold Property Prior to Contract Termination.  In the event that
     -----------------------------------------------
     specific performance is not available to Purchaser in accordance with
     Section 7.B.(i) above because Seller has, prior to the date designated
     hereunder for Closing, sold or conveyed the Property in violation of this
     Agreement and this Agreement has not theretofore been terminated in
     accordance with any provision of this Agreement and Purchaser is not
     otherwise in material default hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to
     pursue a claim against Seller due to such sale or conveyance in an amount
     equal to Seller's Profit (as hereinafter defined).  As used herein, the
     term "Seller's Profit" shall mean the amount determined by subtracting the
     Purchase Price from the amount of net proceeds received by Seller from such
     sale and conveyance.  In addition, in the event that Purchaser files suit
     to pursue such claim and Purchaser is the prevailing party after issuance
     of a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction,
     Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller the reasonable costs and
     expenses incurred by Purchaser to file such suit.  In the event that
     Purchaser files such an action and Purchaser is not the prevailing party in
     such a suit after issuance of a final, non-appealable order of a court of
     competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser
     the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller to defend such suit.

          (iii)  Specific Performance Not Available to Purchaser Because of a
                 ------------------------------------------------------------
     Bad-Faith Material Breach by Seller.  In the event that specific
     -----------------------------------
     performance is not available to Purchaser in accordance with Section
     7.B.(i) above because Seller has, in bad faith, materially breached its
     obligations under this Agreement and such breach has not been cured within
     the applicable notice and cure period(s) hereunder, Purchaser is not
     otherwise in material default hereunder and the Closing has not occurred,
     Purchaser shall be entitled to, in the same suit to seek specific
     performance as provided in Section 7.B.(i) above, pursue an alternate claim
     against Seller due to Seller's failure to perform in accordance with the
     terms of this Agreement as a result of such bad faith, material breach,
     such claim for damages to be for reimbursement of an amount equal to the
     lesser of (1) Purchaser's actual damages, and (2) Five Hundred Thousand
     Dollars ($500,000).

          (iv)   Specific Performance Not Available to Purchaser Because of a
                 ------------------------------------------------------------
     Material Breach by Seller not done in Bad Faith.  In the event that
     -----------------------------------------------
     specific performance is not available to Purchaser in accordance with
     Section 7.B.(i) above because Seller has materially breached its
     obligations under this Agreement and (1) such material breach has not been
     cured within the applicable notice and cure period(s) hereunder, and (2)
     such material breach is not as a result of the bad faith of Seller,
     Purchaser is not otherwise in material default hereunder and the Closing
     has not occurred, Purchaser shall be entitled to, in the same suit to seek
     specific performance as provided in Section 7.B.(i) above, pursue an
     alternate claim against Seller due to Seller's failure to perform in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement as a result of such material
     breach, such claim for damages to be for reimbursement of an amount equal
     to the lesser of (1) Purchaser's actual damages, and (2) Three Hundred
     Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

          (v)    Closing Occurs; Seller Has No Liability for Pre-Closing
                 -------------------------------------------------------
     Breaches or Defaults. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
     --------------------
     contrary, in the event that Seller is in breach or default under its
     obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser is aware of such breach or
     default and/or such breach or default is set forth in a Pre-Closing
     Disclosure or an Inspection

                                       15
<PAGE>

     Period Disclosure and the Closing occurs, then Seller shall have no
     liability or obligation to Purchaser with respect to such breach or
     default.

     C.  Purchaser Default.  If (1) Purchaser is in material default or material
         -----------------
     breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (2) Seller is not otherwise
     in material default or material breach hereunder, and (3) the Closing does
     not occur, the Earnest Money may be retained by Seller as liquidated and
     agreed upon damages and as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy with respect
     thereto other than those rights that survive a termination of this
     Agreement as provided herein. If Purchaser is required to but does not
     deposit with the Escrowee the Earnest Money as provided in Section 2(A)(i)
     above, the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) shall
     nonetheless be recoverable by Seller from Purchaser as Earnest Money and
     without prejudice to Seller's other rights and remedies. PURCHASER AND
     SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (1) THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IS A
     REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES
     THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF HAVING
     WITHDRAWN THE PROPERTY FROM SALE AND THE FAILURE OF CLOSING TO OCCUR DUE TO
     A MATERIAL DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; (2) THE ACTUAL
     DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF SUCH
     WITHDRAWAL AND FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A MATERIAL DEFAULT OF PURCHASER
     UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO
     DETERMINE; (3) PURCHASER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
     TO THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS
     TERMINATED AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT
     CLOSE DUE TO A MATERIAL DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; AND (4)
     THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED
     DAMAGES.

     IN ADDITION, IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER FILES SUIT TO PURSUE PAYMENT OF SUCH
     EARNEST MONEY AMOUNT AND SELLER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY AFTER ISSUANCE OF A
     FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE ORDER OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, SELLER
     SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM PURCHASER THE REASONABLE COSTS AND
     EXPENSES INCURRED BY SELLER TO FILE SUCH SUIT. IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER
     FILES SUIT TO PURSUE SUCH CLAIM AND SELLER IS NOT THE PREVAILING PARTY
     AFTER ISSUANCE OF A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE ORDER OF A COURT OF COMPETENT
     JURISDICTION, PURCHASER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM SELLER THE
     REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY PURCHASER TO DEFEND SUCH SUIT.

     D.  Cure Rights.  Should either party be in breach of or default under this
         -----------
     Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the party in
     breach or default shall have five (5) business days after written notice
     from the other party to cure such breach. The Closing Date

                                       16
<PAGE>

     shall be extended to the extent necessary to afford the party in breach or
     default the full five (5) business day period within which to cure such
     default or breach; provided, however, that in the event that the Purchaser
     is in breach of its obligation to pay all or any portion of the Purchase
     Price at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed in material default hereunder
     without the requirement that Seller provide written notice of same and, in
     such event, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any period of time to cure
     such breach.

     E.  Post-Closing Remedies.  After Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall,
         ---------------------
     subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without
     limitation, Section 11.Q. below), have such rights and remedies as are
     available at law or in equity, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser
     shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential or special
     damages. The provisions of this Section 7. shall survive the Closing and
     delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.

     F.  Seller's Right to Terminate the Agreement for Any Reason; Payment of
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Cancellation Fee.  At any time prior to Closing, Seller shall have the
     ----------------
     right, for any reason and exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion,
     to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser of
     such election to so terminate and paying Purchaser the Cancellation Fee (as
     hereinafter defined). Purchaser, upon receipt of the Cancellation Fee,
     shall execute an acknowledgement letter confirming its receipt of the
     Cancellation Fee and that the Agreement is terminated and execution of same
     shall be a condition precedent to Seller's disbursement of such
     Cancellation Fee (a "Purchaser Acknowledgement"). In the event of a
     termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.F., neither
     party hereto shall have any rights, remedies or obligations hereunder
     except those that survive the termination of this Agreement. As used
     herein, the term "Cancellation Fee" shall mean (1) $450,000, if Seller
     elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.F.
     prior to the date upon which the Inspection Period expires, (2) $550,000,
     if Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this
     Section 7.F. at any time during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon
     the date upon which the Inspection Period expires, (2) $650,000, if Seller
     elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.F. at
     any time during the thirty (30) day period after the expiration of the
     period described in subclause (1) of this sentence, and (3) $700,000, if
     Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section
     7.F. at any time after the expiration of the period described in subclause
     (2) of this sentence through the Closing Date.

     PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (1) THE AMOUNT OF THE
     CANCELLATION FEE MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE
     RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY
     PURCHASER AS A RESULT OF SELLER ELECTING TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN
     ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 7.F. PRIOR TO CLOSING; (2) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES
     SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY PURCHASER AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION
     WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (3) SELLER SEEKS
     TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE
     CANCELLATION FEE IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE
     WITH THIS SECTION 7.F. PRIOR TO CLOSING; AND (4) THE AMOUNT OF THE
     CANCELLATION FEE SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

     G.   Termination of Agreement; Termination Notices; Arbitration.
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          (i)  Termination; Termination Notice; Objection Notice; Arbitration
               --------------------------------------------------------------
     Notice.  In the event that, prior to Closing, the Agreement shall have
     ------
     terminated or been terminated in accordance with any provision hereof (any
     such occurrence being referred to herein as a "Termination") and a party
     hereto (the "Notifying Party") shall desire to notify the other party (the
     "Receiving Party") of the occurrence of such Termination, the Notifying
     Party shall provide a written notice of such Termination to the Receiving
     Party setting forth the reason or reasons why the Notifying Party believes
     that a Termination has occurred (any such notice being referred to herein
     as a "Termination Notice"). A Termination Notice shall include, without
     limitation: (i) a notice from Purchaser prior to the expiration of the
     Inspection Period that it is electing to terminate the Agreement in
     accordance with Section 8.A. below, (ii) a notice from Purchaser prior to
     Closing in accordance with Section 8.B.(ii) below, (iii) a notice from
     Purchaser prior to Closing in accordance with Section 8.C. below, and (iv)
     a notice from Seller in accordance with Section 8.F. below. Purchaser shall
     not be permitted to send an Objection Notice (as hereinafter defined) in
     response to a Termination Notice from Seller in accordance with Section
     7.F. above so long as Purchaser receives the Cancellation Fee and the
     execution of a Purchaser Acknowledgement shall be conclusive evidence of
     Purchaser's agreement that the Agreement is terminated. If the Receiving
     Party does not agree that the Agreement has been terminated, it shall
     provide a written notice to the Notifying Party within five (5) days of the
     Receiving Party's receipt of the Termination Notice, setting forth the
     reason or reasons why the Receiving Party believes that a Termination has
     not occurred (any such notice being referred to herein as an "Objection
     Notice"). The Receiving Party shall be deemed to have agreed that a
     Termination has occurred if it does not send an Objection Notice to the
     Notifying Party within such five (5) day period and, in such event, both
     the Notifying Party and the Receiving Party shall be forever barred from
     asserting any rights under the Agreement that do not expressly survive a
     termination of this Agreement. Upon receipt of an Objection Notice, the
     Notifying Party shall, within five (5) days of receipt of same, either: (1)
     send a notice to the Receiving Party confirming its agreement that the
     Agreement has not been terminated, in which event the Termination Notice
     shall be null and void and the Agreement shall continue in accordance with
     its terms, or (2) send a notice to the Receiving Party of the Notifying
     Party's desire to arbitrate the question of whether a Termination has
     occurred (an "Arbitration Notice") and the Designated Arbitrator (as
     hereinafter defined) that the Notifying Party desires to use to Designated
     Arbitrator and decide the Arbitration (as hereinafter defined). A copy of
     the Arbitration Notice shall be sent to the Designated Arbitrator when sent
     to the Receiving Party.

          (ii) Arbitration.  Any arbitration (an "Arbitration") pursuant to an
               -----------
     Arbitration Notice shall occur as provided in this Section 7.G.(ii). The
     designated arbitrators for the Arbitration shall be either Ing Selden or
     Bruce Rogers (each, a "Designated Arbitrator" and collectively, the
     "Designated Arbitrators"). The Designated Arbitrator that actually
     administers and decides the Arbitration is referred to herein as the
     "Arbitrator". In the event that the Designated Arbitrator set forth in the
     Arbitration Notice is unable to serve as an arbitrator under this Section
     7.G.(ii), the other Designated Arbitrator shall administer and decide the
     Arbitration and the Notifying Party shall send a duplicate copy of the
     Arbitration Notice to such other Designated Arbitrator within a reasonable
     time after its receipt of notice that the Designated Arbitrator initially
     selected is unable to serve. The sole job of the Arbitrator shall be to
     determine whether or not a Termination shall have occurred as set forth in
     the Termination Notice in controversy. The decision of the Arbitrator as to
     the occurrence of a Termination shall be binding upon the parties hereto
     and shall not be appealable to a court or any other body but

                                       18
<PAGE>

     shall be enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event
     that the Arbitrator determines that a Termination has occurred, then (1)
     the Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the date set forth in the
     Termination Notice and, in such event, both the Notifying Party and the
     Receiving Party shall be forever barred from asserting any rights under the
     Agreement that do not expressly survive a termination of this Agreement,
     and (2) the Objecting Party shall be obligated to pay the Arbitrator all of
     its fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration. In the event that
     the Arbitrator determines that a Termination has not occurred, then (y) the
     Notifying Party shall be obligated to pay the Arbitrator all of its fees
     and expenses in connection with the Arbitration and (z) the Agreement shall
     continue in accordance with its terms.

               (a.) Rules of Arbitration.  Prior to agreeing to serve as an
                    --------------------
     Arbitrator, a Designated Arbitrator shall be required to confirm in writing
     that no social or business relationship or conflict exists between the
     Designated Arbitrator and the Purchaser or Seller, or with counsel for
     Seller or Purchaser. If neither of the Designated Arbitrators are able to
     serve as a result of the foregoing or any other reason and the parties are
     otherwise unable to agree on the selection of an alternate arbitrator, an
     arbitrator shall be appointed by unanimous agreement of both Designated
     Arbitrators. The purpose of this Section 7.G.(ii) is to obtain the
     speediest resolution of whether or not a Termination has occurred in the
     event of an Objection Notice and, accordingly, all parties shall cooperate
     in good faith to obtain an arbitration determination within thirty (30)
     days after delivery of an Arbitration Notice. The Arbitration shall be
     conducted in accordance with the expedited commercial arbitration rules of
     the American Arbitration Association, modified as follows: (i) the parties
     shall have the right to not more than two (2) depositions each which shall
     not exceed four (4) hours in length per deposition and one (1) reasonable
     set of document requests each; (ii) the arbitration shall be fully and
     finally concluded within twenty-three (23) days after delivery of an
     Arbitration Notice; (iii) the Arbitrator shall render his or her decision
     within seven (7) days of the Arbitration, which decision need not set forth
     the Arbitrator's reasoning for his or decision, but simply whether or not
     the Agreement has or has not been terminated in accordance with its terms
     as set forth in the Termination Notice; (iv) the parties shall cooperate
     with each other in order that discovery shall not delay the commencement
     and conclusion of the Arbitration within the twenty-three (23) day period;
     and (v) the Arbitration shall not exceed eight (8) hours in length and
     shall be conducted in one (1) day.

8.   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
     --------------------

     A.  Inspection Period.  Subject to Sections 11.G. and 11.K.(i) below,
         -----------------
     Purchaser and its agents, employees and/or contractors shall have until
     5:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the thirtieth (30/th/) day following
     the date of the receipt by Purchaser of all of the last of the items set
     forth in Section 8.A.(i) below (such period of time being referred to
     herein as the "Inspection Period") within which to enter the Real Property
     and the Office Buildings to inspect the Property and conduct such tests,
     surveys and inspections of the Property ("Inspections") and review the
     title commitment, the Survey and the items described in Section 8.A.(i) and
     (ii) below and such other matters and data as Purchaser deems reasonably
     necessary or appropriate. If Purchaser determines that the Property is not
     suitable for its purposes (as determined in its sole and absolute
     discretion) and notifies Seller in writing of such decision within the
     Inspection Period, then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser,
     this Agreement shall be null and void, Purchaser shall have no further
     rights with respect to the Property and neither party shall have any
     further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those rights or
     obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement as
     provided herein. Purchaser's failure to

                                       19
<PAGE>

     object in writing to Seller within the Inspection Period as provided in the
     preceding sentence shall be a deemed waiver by Purchaser of the condition
     contained in this Section 8.A. In the event of such a deemed waiver,
     Purchaser shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that it had an
     opportunity to inspect the Property and all Disclosures (as defined in
     Section 11.H. below) and make such other inquiries and investigations and
     obtain such reports and analyses it deemed adequate in connection with its
     decision to purchase the Property, and, as a result thereof, Purchaser
     shall be deemed to have agreed that, except as specifically set forth in
     this Agreement, it shall purchase the Property in its "AS IS, WHERE IS"
     condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear and as more particularly
     provided in Section 11.H. below. In the event that Purchaser does not
     terminate the Agreement as aforesaid, it may continue to perform non-
     invasive, non-intrusive Inspections through Closing, subject to the
     provisions of Sections 11.G. and 11.K. below.

     of text or an immaterial exhibit or schedule), provided that Seller
     provides Purchaser with the missing items, if in Seller's possession,
     reasonably promptly after written request for same from Purchaser. Also, in
     the event a material portion of any document is illegible due to Seller's
     copy of the document also being illegible, Seller shall not be in default
     hereunder as a result of such illegible copy and Purchaser's sole and
     exclusive remedy for such failure to provide legible copies of all such
     documents shall be to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller

     In the event of such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to
     Purchaser and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, remedies
     or obligations

          The items set forth above shall be provided to Purchaser to the extent
     they are in Seller's possession at the on-site management office for the
     Property. Seller believes that, to the Actual Knowledge of Seller, to the
     extent same are in Seller's possession, the items set forth in Sections
     8.B.(ii)a. through h. above are located at the on-site management office
     for the Property. Such items shall be available at the Property upon notice
     to Seller in accordance with, and subject to, the provision of Section

     are not available at such management office, Purchaser shall provide Seller
     with a written request setting forth the items that Purchaser reasonably
     believes to exist that are not located at such office. Upon such receipt,

     presently used by Seller and/or EOPMC to operate the Property) pertaining
     to the Property located at EOPMC's Chicago, Illinois office in order to
     locate such items or, in the alternative, provide Purchaser with a notice
     stating that Seller is not going to review such files but that Seller
     shall, upon reasonable prior notice from

                                       21
<PAGE>

     Purchaser, make such files available to Purchaser in EOPMC's Chicago,
     Illinois office so that Purchaser may review such files to determine if
     such items are available. If Seller locates same, it shall provide
     Purchaser with a copy of same. In the event that Seller is unable to locate
     same or Purchaser is unable to locate same after its review of the files or
     Purchaser does not elect to review such files after written notice from
     Seller, Seller shall have no further obligation with respect thereto and
     Purchaser shall have no rights hereunder related to the fact that Seller
     was unable to locate such items.

     B.   Estoppel Certificates.
          ---------------------

          (i)  It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to
     close the purchase and sale transaction contemplated in this Agreement that
     Purchaser shall have received, at Closing, estoppel certificates
     (individually, an "Estoppel Certificate" and collectively, the "Estoppel
     Certificates") dated as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior
     to Closing, from tenants occupying not less than eighty percent (80%) of
     the net rentable square footage of space at the Property actually leased as
     of the Closing Date, specifically including within such 80% Estoppel
     Certificates from all such tenants occupying Leases demising 3,000 or more
     rentable square footage of space at the Property as of the end of the
     Inspection Period pursuant to valid and existing Leases and in form and
     content as set forth herein.  The Estoppel Certificates executed by tenants
     shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT G attached hereto (the "Form
                                           ---------
     Tenant Estoppel Certificate"), except that an Estoppel Certificate shall be
     deemed an acceptable Estoppel Certificate for purposes of this Section
     8.B.(i) if: (1) it contains the qualification by the tenant of any
     statement as being to the best of its knowledge or as being subject to any
     similar qualification, and/or (2) it contains any tenant objection to
     addressing or certifying the Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser's mortgage
     lender, if any, or is not addressed or certified to such mortgage lender
     (it being acknowledged that Seller shall provide Estoppel Certificates to
     tenants addressed to any such mortgage lender), and/or (3) it is in a form
     required by the applicable Tenant's Lease, and/or (4) it contains
     immaterial modifications to, or omissions of information, in the Form
     Tenant Estoppel Certificate (the aforesaid acceptable Estoppel Certificates
     to be delivered are collectively referred to as the "Required Estoppel
     Certificates").

               a.   If (1) information disclosed in an Estoppel Certificate is
          in material conflict with the corresponding information set forth is
          such tenant's Lease, or (2) such tenant alleges a material default by
          Seller, or (3) such tenant alleges a material right of offset against
          payment of rent other than as disclosed in any Inspection Period
          Disclosures (as hereinafter defined) (with "material" meaning for
          purposes of this sub-clause (3) the lesser of Rent payable under the
          Lease for the 12 months after the month of Closing and $5,000), then
          such Estoppel Certificate shall not be acceptable under this Section
          8.B.(i), subject, however, to Section 8.B.(iii) below.

               b.   Seller shall be obligated to exercise reasonable efforts to
          obtain Estoppel Certificates from the applicable tenants. As used in
          the preceding sentence, "reasonable efforts" shall mean delivery of an
          Estoppel Certificate to a tenant and two (2) follow-up requests either
          in person, by telephone or in writing with the tenant for the
          execution and return of the Estoppel Certificate in a timely fashion.

          (ii) In the event that Seller is unable to provide to Purchaser the
     Required Estoppel Certificates at Closing as provided above, Purchaser may
     either: (x) elect not to purchase the

                                       22
<PAGE>

     Property, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void, the
     Escrowee shall promptly return the Earnest Money to Purchaser and
     thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or
     obligations under this Agreement, other than those rights and obligations
     which expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or (y) elect to
     purchase the Property notwithstanding Seller's inability to provide the
     Required Estoppel Certificates, in which event Seller shall not be
     obligated to provide any additional Estoppel Certificates to Purchaser
     after Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the extent Seller is unable
     to obtain all of the required Estoppel Certificates from tenants, Seller
     shall be entitled, at its option, to substitute "Landlord Certificates"
     therefor substantially in the form of EXHIBIT G attached hereto. Seller's
                                           ---------
     liability under any Landlord Certificate shall terminate upon the sooner
     of: (i) two hundred seventy (270) days from the Closing Date, (ii) when
     Purchaser subsequently receives an Estoppel Certificate for the applicable
     tenant, or (iii) when Purchaser receives the Required Estoppel
     Certificates. If Purchaser receives an estoppel certificate which contains
     some, but not all of the matters set forth in the Form Tenant Estoppel
     Certificate after taking into account the provisions of the last sentence
     of Section 8.B.(i) above (a "Partial Certificate"), and Seller provides a
     Landlord Certificate for such tenant, then (i) if the Partial Certificate
     is received prior to Closing, the Landlord Certificate may omit matters
     contained in the Partial Certificate and (ii) if the Partial Certificate is
     received after Closing, the Landlord Certificate shall cease to survive as
     to the matters contained in the Partial Certificate. The provisions of this
     Section 8.B.(ii) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

          (iii)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if
     any Estoppel Certificates contain any of the items set forth in Section
     8.B.(i)a. above and (1) the existence or the substance of such items were
     contained in any Inspection Period Disclosures (as defined in Section 9.B.
     below), or (2) Purchaser elects that Closing occur notwithstanding the
     existence of such items, then such Estoppel Certificates shall be deemed
     acceptable for purposes of this Section 8.B., notwithstanding the existence
     of such items and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser hereunder
     with respect to the existence of such items. The provisions of this Section
     8.B.(iii) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

     C.   Accuracy of Seller's Representations. It shall be a condition
          ------------------------------------
     precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase and sale
     transaction contemplated in this Agreement that each of Seller's
     representations set forth in Section 9.A. below shall be true and correct
     in all material respects as of Closing, as modified by any Inspection
     Period Disclosures (as defined in Section 9.B. below). In the event that
     Seller makes any Pre-Closing Disclosures (as defined in Section 9.B. below)
     to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
     and receive a refund of the Earnest Money by delivering written notice
     thereof to Seller on or before the earlier of Closing or the fifth (5th)
     business day after Purchaser receives written notice of such Pre-Closing
     Disclosure. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to its
     rights under this Section 8.C., then such representations shall be deemed
     modified to conform them to the Inspection Period Disclosures and the
     Pre-Closing Disclosures. The provisions of this Section 8.C. shall survive
     the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this
     Agreement.

     D.   Seller Performance.  It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's
          ------------------
     obligation to close the purchase and sale transaction contemplated in this
     Agreement that Seller shall have materially performed in a timely fashion
     all of its obligations under this Agreement to be performed prior to
     Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.D. shall survive the Closing and
     delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.

                                       23
<PAGE>

     E.   Owner's Title Insurance Policy.  It shall be a condition precedent to
          ------------------------------
     Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase and sale transaction
     contemplated in this Agreement that the Title Insurer deliver an owner's
     policy of title insurance (or marked-up commitment for same) in the amount
     of the Purchase Price and subject to the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title
     Policy") at Closing.

     F.   Accuracy of Purchaser's Representations; Purchaser Performance.  It
          --------------------------------------------------------------
     shall be a condition precedent to Seller's obligation to close the purchase
     and sale transaction contemplated in this Agreement that (1) each of
     Purchaser's representations set forth in Sections 10.A. and 10.B. below
     shall be true and correct in all material respects as of Closing, and (2)
     Purchaser shall have materially performed all of its obligations under this
     Agreement to be performed prior to Closing. In the event that any of
     Purchaser's representations set forth in Sections 10.A. and 10.B. below are
     not true and correct as aforesaid, Seller shall have the right to terminate
     this Agreement by delivering written notice to Purchaser on or before the
     Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.F. shall survive the Closing and
     delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.

     G.   Waiver(s) of Conditions Precedent.  Any condition precedent to the
          ---------------------------------
     Closing hereunder may be waived by the party for whose benefit such
     condition exists (such election being at the sole and absolute discretion
     of such party), with any such condition being deemed waived in the event
     that the Closing occurs and provided further that, in such event, the other
     party shall have no liability to the waiving party related to the matter(s)
     so waived.

     delivered to Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.A.(i)b. above shall be
     true and correct copies of such Leases.

          When used in this Agreement, the term "Actual Knowledge of Seller"
     shall mean and be limited to the actual (and not imputed, implied or
     constructive) current actual knowledge of Norman Field, Vice President -

<PAGE>

     representations of this Section 9.A. that are qualified as to the Actual
     Knowledge of Seller are accurate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
     contrary, neither Norman Field nor David Richmond shall (whether prior to
     or after Closing) have any personal liability or obligation whatsoever with

     B.   Representations Remade.  At Closing, Seller shall be deemed to remake
          ----------------------
     and restate the representations set forth in Section 9.A. and as set forth
     in the Updated Rent Roll except that the representations shall be updated:
     (i) by Seller delivering written notice to Purchaser to reflect any fact,

     become aware of that would make any of Seller's representations contained
     in Section 9.A. untrue or incorrect in any material respect, (ii) to
     reflect any Disclosures prior to the Inspection Period, (iii) to reflect
     any statements or allegations in Estoppel Certificates that a default or
     potential default exists on the part of Seller under the respective Leases

     any of Seller's representations in Section 9.A. or the Updated Rent Roll
     untrue in any material respect or to reflect any of the other matters
     described in Section 8.B.(i)a. above, and (iv) to reflect Purchaser's
     actual knowledge, prior to the end of the Inspection Period, of facts
     inconsistent with or different from the representations set forth herein
     (items (i) and (iii) being collectively referred to herein as the "Pre-
     Closing Disclosures" and items (ii) and (iv) being collectively referred to
     herein as the "Inspection Period Disclosures").

     C.   Survival.  The representations of Seller set forth in Section 9.A.,
          --------
     subject to modifications thereto as provided in Section 9.B. and Section
     9.C.(i) below, shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed for a
     period of two hundred seventy (270) days from the Closing Date.  In
     addition, the certification of Seller set forth in the Updated Rent Roll
     and the certification of the Leases by Seller in accordance with Section
     4.B.(i)(q) above shall, subject to Section 8.B. above, Section 9.E. below
     and Section 9.C.(i) below, survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed for
     a period of two hundred seventy (270) days from the Closing Date.  Notice
     of any claim as to a breach of any such representations must be made to
     Seller prior to the expiration of such two hundred seventy (270) day period
     or it shall be deemed a waiver of the right to assert such claim.

          (i)  Representations Personal to Purchaser; Sale of Property.  Any
               -------------------------------------------------------
     rights to pursue Seller for a breach of any of Seller's representations
     under this Section 9. are personal to the Purchaser hereunder and may not
     be assigned to, or relied upon, by any other party.  In the event that
     Purchaser sells or otherwise conveys the Property prior to the expiration
     of the two hundred seventy (270) day period described in this Section 9.C.,
     Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for any damages that Purchaser
     may incur under its agreement(s) with the party purchasing or otherwise
     receiving a conveyance of the Property from Purchaser.

     D.   Defaults by tenants under Leases and vendors under Service Contracts.
          --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Seller does not represent that any particular Service Contract will be in
     force or effect as of the Closing or that tenants under Leases or the
     parties to the Service Contracts will not be in default under their
     respective Leases or Service Contracts, and neither the existence of any
     default by any tenant under its Lease nor the default of any party under
     any Service Contract shall affect the obligations of Purchaser hereunder;
     provided, however, the foregoing shall not affect the
     --------  -------

                                       26
<PAGE>

     conditions contained in Sections 8.B., 8.C. or 8.D. above. The provisions
     of this Section 9.D. shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

     E.   Estoppel Certificates Supersede Representations.  In the event that an
          -----------------------------------------------
     Estoppel Certificate is received from a tenant (before or after Closing)
     which confirms the accuracy of the representations made in Section 9.A. (as
     modified as provided in Section 9.B.) or the certification set forth in the
     Updated Rent Roll, then the representations in Section 9.A. and the
     certification in the Updated Rent Roll with respect to the corresponding
     Lease (as modified as provided in Section 9.B.) shall be deemed to be
     superseded by such Estoppel Certificate (and, in such event, Seller shall
     no longer have any liability hereunder with respect to the portion of the
     representation superseded). The provisions of this Section 9.E. shall
     survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

     F.   Operation of Property.  Seller hereby covenants and agrees with
          ---------------------
     Purchaser that:

               1.   Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of

          permitted under Sections 11.V. and 11.X. below, Seller shall not enter
          into any new Service Contracts, or cancel, materially modify or renew
          any existing Service Contracts, without the prior written consent of
          Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
          delayed, unless such new Service Contracts are cancelable by Seller
          prior to Closing without any penalty or other obligations imposed upon
          Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to respond to such a request for consent
          within five (5) business days after receipt of the request, such
          consent shall be deemed given and, in such event, such contract shall
          be a "Service Contract" hereunder and Purchaser shall be obligated to
          assume such Service Contract at Closing in accordance with Section
          11.M. below.

               2.   Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the
          Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall maintain

          Property in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

          Section 4.C.(ii)(d) above. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding
          sentence to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to make
          any capital improvements to the Property other than those set forth in
          Section 4.C.(ii)(d) above or expend, in the aggregate, in excess of
          $25,000 for repairs (the extent and scope of which shall be determined
          by Seller in its reasonable discretion) other than those set forth in
          Section 4.C.(ii)(d) above or in connection with any work required
          under Leases.

               4.   Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the
          Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not send
          bills to tenants invoicing tenants for Rent payable more than one
          month in advance.

               5.   Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the
          Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, neither Seller nor any
          representatives or agents of

                                       27

     Agreement.

     G.  Inspections.  Purchaser's Inspections pursuant to Section 8.A. above
         -----------
     shall be subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and other
     occupants and users of the Property.  No Inspections shall be undertaken
     without reasonable prior notice to Seller (which, in any event, shall be
     not less than two (2) business days prior to the date of such inspection).
     Seller shall have the right to be present at any or all Inspections.
     Purchaser may not contact tenants directly,

                                       30
<PAGE>

     rather, Purchaser shall notify Seller within a reasonable time (but in any
     event not less than two (2) business days) prior to the date that Purchaser
     desires to contact any tenant so that Seller may have a representative
     present during such contact. Seller may also waive, in writing, the
     requirement that it be present during any or all such tenant contacts.
     Except as provided in Section 11.K.(i) below, no Inspections shall involve
     the taking of samples or other physically invasive or intrusive procedures
     without the prior consent of Seller which may be withheld by Seller in its
     sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and
     its employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against any
     and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without
     limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith)
     arising out of or resulting from Purchaser's exercise of its rights under
     Section 8.A. above, this Section 11.G., Section 11.K.(i) and Section 11.J.
     below, it being understood that Purchaser shall not be obligated to
     indemnify Seller against matters arising solely out of Seller's or its
     agents', employees', tenants' or contractors' negligence or willful
     misconduct. Except upon the written request of Seller pursuant to Section
     11.K. below, Purchaser shall not deliver to Seller copies of any of the
     studies, reports, surveys or other information, data and/or documents
     relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by or at the request
     of Purchaser, its employees, agents, representatives or contractors. The
     provisions of this Section 11.G. shall survive the Closing and delivery of
     the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.

     NOT TO MAKE ANY CLAIM OR BRING ANY COST RECOVERY ACTION OR CLAIM OR
     CONTRIBUTION, INDEMNITY OR OTHER ACTION OR CLAIM AGAINST SELLER OR ITS

          THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.H. SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND

     I.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  In any lawsuit or other proceeding under or with
         --------------------
     respect to this Agreement, Purchaser waives any rights it may have to trial
     by jury. In addition, Purchaser waives any right to seek recission of the
     transaction provided for in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section
     11.I. shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner
     termination of this Agreement.

     J.  Confidentiality.  Purchaser acknowledges that all information with
         ---------------
     respect to the Property obtained or developed by Purchaser, or furnished or
     to be furnished to Purchaser is, has been and will be so furnished on the
     condition that Purchaser maintain the confidentiality thereof. Accordingly,
     Purchaser shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and other
     personnel and representatives to, hold in strict confidence, and not
     disclose to any other party without the prior written consent of Seller:
     (i) any of the information with respect to the Property delivered to

     (ii) the existence of this Agreement or any term or condition hereof except
     for this Section 11.J. as required in this Section 11.J. below, or (iii)
     the results of any inspections or studies undertaken in connection herewith
     or any other information obtained or developed by Purchaser. In addition,
     neither Purchaser nor Purchaser's directors, officers and other personnel
     and representatives shall solicit offers to purchase the Property to any
     other party without the prior written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding
     the above, Purchaser may disclose such information to individuals or

<PAGE>

     necessary for Purchaser to consummate the transaction contemplated herein
     (such as investors, lenders, engineers, attorneys, prospective management
     companies, environmental consultants, accountants and tax advisors) and as
     required by law. Purchaser shall, with respect to any parties to whom the
     existence of this Agreement or any information with respect to the Property
     is disclosed, notify such parties of the existence of this Section 11.J.
     and its applicability to any such information provided to any such parties
     and this Agreement and Purchaser shall be responsible for the breach of any
     provision of this Section 11.J. by any such parties. In the event the
     Closing does not occur and this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall,
     upon written request by Seller, promptly return to Seller all copies of all
     such information without retaining any copy thereof or extract therefrom.
     Without limitation to any of the foregoing, Purchaser shall not use any
     such information in any manner detrimental to the Property, Seller or its
     agents. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless
     against all claims, losses and/or damages resulting from the Purchaser's
     breach of this Section 11.J., as well as any breach thereof by any party to
     whom such information is provided. Purchaser's obligations under this
     Section 11.J. shall survive the Closing or any termination of this
     Agreement.

     K.   Reports.  If for any reason Purchaser does not consummate the Closing,
          -------
     then Purchaser shall, only upon Seller's written request, provide to Seller
     copies of any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information, data
     and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by
     or at the request of Purchaser, its employees and agents.  The provisions
     of this Section 11.K. shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          (i)       Purchaser's limited right to conduct invasive or intrusive
                    ----------------------------------------------------------
     testing. In the event that Purchaser's Inspections will include a Phase I
     -------
     environmental report or other general evaluation of the environmental
     condition of the Property, Purchaser shall be entitled to have such report
     or evaluation prepared and completed, provided that (a) such preparation
     and completion occurs prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and
     (b) such report or evaluation is prepared by Law Environmental and
     Engineering Services, Inc. or its affiliate ("LAW") at the sole expense of
     Purchaser. In the event (1) that Purchaser, prior to the expiration of the
     Inspection Period, obtains a Phase I environmental report or general
     evaluation report from LAW prepared in compliance with the provisions of
     this Agreement and such Phase I environmental report or general evaluation
     report recommends that invasive o r intrusive testing occur at the Property
     to investigate the presence of any conditions or substances or the
     locations thereof that are not disclosed or discussed in the reports set
     forth on EXHIBIT P or the reports set forth on EXHIBIT P recommend that
              ---------                             ---------
     invasive or intrusive testing be performed, and (2) Purchaser, prior to the
     expiration of the Inspection Period, requests in writing that it be
     permitted to have LAW perform and complete such testing prior to the
     expiration of the Inspection Period (such request to include a copy of the
     report or reports that recommend such invasive or intrusive testing, a
     description of the testing requested, including the proposed location,
     scope and timing of the testing), then Purchaser shall be entitled to have
     LAW perform and complete, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
     such reasonable invasive or intrusive testing which reasonably addresses
     the conditions described by LAW in support of LAW's recommendation(s) in
     the applicable reports, as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree upon
     in writing in the exercise of their reasonable discretion. After such
     testing, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall be obligated to
     restore the portions of the Property affected by such testing to their
     condition prior to such testing.

     L.   New Leases.  Seller and Purchaser further agree as follows:
          ----------

               1.   From and after the date of this Agreement through the
          Closing, Seller shall deliver, to Purchaser for review (a "New Lease
          Notice") a copy of any proposed new lease, or any modification,
          amendment, restatement or renewal of an existing lease (each a "New
          Lease", and collectively, "New Leases"). During the period between two
          (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period and
          Closing, Purchaser shall have the right (exercisable in its reasonable
          discretion) to approve or disapprove of any New Lease by responding in
          writing to Seller's New Lease Notice within five (5) business days
          after Purchaser's receipt of the New Lease Notice. If Purchaser fails
          to approve or disapprove of such New Lease within such five (5)
          business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have conclusively
          approved of such New Lease. In the event that Purchaser reasonably
          disapproves of such New Lease within such five (5) business day
          period, Seller shall not enter into such New Lease. If Seller enters
          into such a New Lease after Purchaser reasonably disapproves of such
          New Lease as provided in the preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall
          have the right, within five (5) business days after Purchaser's
          receipt of written notice of Seller's entering into such New Lease, to
          terminate this Agreement and Seller shall be obligated to pay to
          Purchaser the lesser of Purchaser's actual, third party out-of-pocket
          expenses and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), notwithstanding
          any provision of Section 7. to the contrary, as Purchaser's sole and
          exclusive remedy. If Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement,
          Purchaser shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of such New
          Lease. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the
          provisions of this Section 11.L.1 and Purchaser is not otherwise in
          default hereunder, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser by
          the Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall, without further
          action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall
          have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except
          those rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of
          this Agreement as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          Seller may enter into a New Lease, and Purchaser shall be deemed to
          have consented to execution of same, to the extent such action is
          mandatory (for example, a lease renewal pursuant to the exercise of an
          existing option right) without the need to seek Purchaser's consent;
          provided, however, that to the extent any of the economic terms of
          such mandatory agreements are discretionary and not explicit, such
          terms shall be subject to Purchaser's prior written consent, which
          will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any New Lease which
          Seller is permitted to enter into hereunder and does enter into shall
          be deemed a "Lease" for purposes of this Agreement.

               2.   All Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions ("New
          Lease Costs") relating to New Leases entered into by Seller (y)
          between the date of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the
          Inspection Period, and (z) between the expiration of the Inspection
          Period and prior to Closing which Purchaser approves (or is deemed to
          approve) in accordance with Section 11.L.1 above, shall be paid by
          Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.C.(ii)(c) above.

     M.   Option to Assume Service Contracts.  At Closing, Purchaser shall be
          ----------------------------------
     obligated to assume (1) the Existing Capital Service Contracts, (2) any
     Service Contracts consented to (or deemed to be consented to) by Purchaser
     in accordance with Section 9.F.1. above or Section 11.V. below, and (3)
     those Terminable Service Contracts (as hereinafter defined) that Purchaser
     elects to assume in accordance with the remaining provisions of this
     Section 11.M. At Closing, Purchaser

                                       34
<PAGE>

     shall not be permitted to assume, and Seller shall cancel, the Service
     Contracts with Carrier, Nalco and Unitog/Cintas. On or before the end of
     the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller
     which of the Terminable Service Contracts it desires to assume at Closing.
     Any Terminable Service Contracts set forth in such notice shall be assumed
     by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the Service Contract Assignment. Any
     Terminable Service Contracts not set forth in such notice shall be
     terminated by Seller as of Closing. As used herein, the term "Terminable
     Service Contracts" shall mean the Service Contracts, other than the
     "Construction Contracts", any Service Contracts consented to (or deemed to
     be consented to) by Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.F.1. above or
     Section11.V. below, and the Service Contracts with Carrier, Nalco and
     Unitog/Cintas.

     N.  Reporting Person.  Seller and Purchaser hereby designate Escrowee to
         ----------------
     act as and perform the duties and obligations of the "reporting person"
     with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes
     of 26 C.F.R. Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for
     information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January
     1, 1991. In this regard, Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute at
     Closing, and to cause the Escrowee to execute at Closing, a Designation
     Agreement, designating Escrowee as the reporting person with respect to the
     transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

     O.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         ------------
     identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain signatures of fewer
     than all of the parties but all of which taken together shall constitute a
     single instrument.

     P.  No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be
         ------------
     recorded against the Property.

     Q.  Limitation of Liability.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any
         -----------------------
     recovery against Seller that Purchaser may be entitled to after Closing as
     a result of any claim, demand or cause of action that Purchaser may have
     against Seller with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
     contemplated herein shall only be recoverable against Seller in an amount
     not in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).  The provisions
     of this Section 11.Q. shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the
     Deed.

     R.  Construction.  The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel
         ------------
     have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
     construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
     the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this
     Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.  The captions preceding the
     text of each Section are included for convenience of reference only and
     shall be disregarded in the construction and interpretation of this
     Agreement.

     S.  No Survival unless Specifically Provided.  Except as specifically
         ----------------------------------------
     provided for in this Agreement, the rights, obligations, representations,
     warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this

     or hire any employee or representative of Seller or its affiliates involved

     V.  Potential Mechanic's Liens related to Tenant Buildout.  Should the
         -----------------------------------------------------
     timing and/or scope of work to be performed by the lessor under Leases
     and/or New Leases or in connection with the Capital Projects require Seller
     to enter into contracts with contractors or other parties during the period
     between expiration of the Inspection Period and Closing in order to comply
     with the lessor's obligations under such Leases and/or New Leases or to
     complete the Capital Projects and the work performed under such contracts
     will not be completed prior to Closing, Seller shall submit the proposed
     contract (along with the plans, specifications and other information
     referenced in or attached to such proposed contract) with such contractor
     or other parties to Purchaser for its approval. Purchaser shall have the
     right (exercisable in its reasonable discretion) to approve or disapprove
     of such contract. If Purchaser fails to approve or disapprove of such
     contract within five (5) business days after its receipt of same, Purchaser
     shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of such contract. In the
     event Purchaser reasonably disapproves of such contract within such five
     (5) business day period, Seller shall not enter into such contract. If such
     contract was to be for the completion of work required under a New Lease
     (whether or not included with the Capital Projects), then Purchaser shall,
     within five (5) business days after its disapproval, be obligated to
     present to Seller a construction contract from another reputable contractor
     substantially on the same terms and conditions (which terms and conditions
     shall include the same scope of work, materials of the same or better
     quality and identical periods for completion of all stages of the work) and
     for the same price as the contract rejected by Purchaser and, if Purchaser
     fails to do so, Seller may enter into the original contract and such
     contract shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser under this Section
     11.V. If Seller enters into such contract after Purchaser reasonably
     disapproves of such contract and Purchaser has provided a construction
     contract as provided in the preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall have
     the right, within five (5) business days after Purchaser's receipt of
     written notice of Seller's entering into such contract, to notify Seller in
     writing as to whether or not it will elect to terminate the Agreement due
     to Seller entering into such contract. Upon Seller's receipt of written
     notice from Purchaser of Purchaser's intent to terminate the Agreement as
     permitted under the preceding sentence, Seller shall have five (5) business
     days to terminate such contract so as to result in no liability to
     Purchaser after Closing under such contract and, in the event that Seller
     so terminates such contract within such five (5) business day period,
     Purchaser shall not be permitted to terminate the Agreement due to Seller
     entering into such contract. If Seller elects to proceed and the price from
     the other reputable contractor submitted by Purchaser is less than the
     price of the contractor selected by Seller and presented to Purchaser, then
     Purchaser shall only be obligated to credit Seller at Closing for the price
     quoted by the reputable contractor presented by Purchaser as provided
     above. If Seller does not terminate the contract as provided above within
     the five (5) business day period, then, if Purchaser is otherwise entitled
     hereunder to return of the Earnest Money, the Earnest Money shall be
     returned to Purchaser by the Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall,
     without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither
     party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement
     except those rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of
     this Agreement as provided herein except that Purchaser shall be entitled
     to receive its actual, out of pocket third party expenses incurred in
     connection with its negotiation of this Agreement and its Inspections, such
     amount not to exceed $100,000. If a contract approved under this Section
     11.V. requires that Seller pay any amounts under such contract prior to
     Closing, Seller shall pay such amounts and such amounts shall be prorated
     between Purchaser and Seller as provided in Sections 4.C.(i)

                                       36
<PAGE>

     and 4.C.(ii) above. All contracts approved (or deemed approved) under this
     Section 11.V. shall be included in the "Service Contracts" to be assumed by
     Purchaser pursuant to the Service Contract Assignment. Purchaser's
     assumption of all Service Contracts at Closing with respect to construction
     shall be deemed to include the obligation for payment of all amounts owed
     under such Service Contracts after Closing, even if incurred prior to
     Closing. If any such Service Contracts and/or the Harbert Agreement
     (hereinafter defined) result in work for which the provider or
     subcontractor thereunder may obtain a lien against the Property if such
     work is not paid for and Purchaser is obligated to pay for such work as
     provided in the preceding sentence, then the "Permitted Exceptions" shall
     be deemed to include any potential liens and related notices of
     commencement as a result thereof. The provisions of this Section 11.V.
     shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

     W.  Settlement Agreement.  Simultaneously with the full execution of this
         --------------------
     Agreement and as condition precedent to the effectiveness of this
     Agreement, Purchaser, Seller and Metropolitan Properties, Inc. entered into
     the Settlement Agreement in order to confirm that the 1983 Agreement no
     longer exists and to address such other matters as contained therein.

     X.  Construction Management Agreement.  Seller has engaged Harbert Realty
         ---------------------------------
     Services ("Harbert") to monitor and manage certain ongoing general and
     tenant construction work in progress at the Property and/or to occur in the
     future. Seller and Harbert are in the process of setting forth the terms of
     such engagement in a written document but have not entered into a
     definitive written agreement as of the date of this Agreement. Such a
     written agreement with Harbert ("Harbert Agreement") will provide that it
     is terminable by Seller upon a sale or other transfer of the Property.
     Since Seller intends to terminate the Harbert Agreement at Closing, the
     engagement of Harbert and the Harbert Agreement are expressly excluded from
     the definition of "Service Contracts" hereunder and Purchaser shall not
     have any approval rights with respect to the Harbert Agreement. However,
     upon written notice to Seller at least ten (10) days prior to Closing,
     Purchaser may elect to take an assignment of any right, title and interest
     of Seller in and to the Harbert Agreement at Closing, provided that,
     Purchaser assumes all obligations and liabilities under the Harbert
     Agreement as of the Closing Date (including, without limitation, payment of
     amounts which are not due and payable to Harbert as of the Closing Date).
     Except in the event of the assumption by Purchaser pursuant to the
     preceding sentence and Seller has paid any amounts under the Harbert
     Agreement prior to Closing that are attributable to the obligations assumed
     by Purchaser, the amounts to be paid at Closing by Purchaser shall not
     include any amounts payable under the Harbert Agreement.

     Y.  Metrogate Agreement.  As used herein, "Metrogate Agreement" shall mean
         -------------------
     that certain Metrogate Agreement dated August 31, 1983 between Seller and
     Brookwood V., Ltd.

     Z.  Pre and Post Closing Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of this
         --------------------------------
     Agreement and any documents executed pursuant hereto, as between Seller and
     Purchaser, Seller shall be obligated for any obligations or liabilities
     related to the Property and attributable to the period prior to Closing and
     Purchaser shall be obligated for any obligations or liabilities related to
     the Property and attributable to the period from and after Closing.

TO:  LandAmerica National Commercial Services
     10 South LaSalle Street
     Suite 2500
     Chicago, IL 60603
     Attention: Lawrence Vaughan


The amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the "Escrow Deposit")
is deposited with the Chicago Office of Land America National Commercial
Services, in escrow by BOARDWALK MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, an Alabama corporation,
the "Purchaser" under that certain Purchase And Sale Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated July _____, 1999, with FIRST CAPITAL INCOME PROPERTIES,
LTD.- SERIES VIII, a Florida limited partnership, as the "Seller".

As escrowee, you are hereby directed to hold, deal with and dispose of the
Escrow Deposit in accordance with the following terms and conditions (this
"Escrow Agreement"):

1.   You are to hold the Escrow Deposit until: (a) you are in receipt of a joint
     order by the undersigned Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition of the
     Escrow Deposit; or (b) you are in receipt of a written demand (the
     "Demand") from either Seller or Purchaser for the payment of the Escrow
     Deposit or any portion thereof. Upon receipt of any Demand, you are
     directed to so notify the other party, enclosing a copy of the Demand. If
     within five (5) days after the non-demanding party has received or is
     deemed to have received your notice of your receipt of the Demand, you have
     not received from the non-demanding party its notice of objection to the
     Demand, then you are to disburse the Escrow Deposit as requested by the
     Demand. If within said five-day period you receive from the non-demanding
     party its notice of objection to the Demand, then you are to continue to
     hold the Escrow Deposit until you are in receipt of a joint order as
     aforesaid, but after sixty (60) days you may deposit the Escrow Deposit
     with a Court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
     provisions of this Section 1, in the event that you receive a Demand from
     the Purchaser on or before the thirtieth (30/th/) day after the Delivery
     Date (as hereinafter defined) and such Demand states that Purchaser is
     terminating the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period
     in accordance with Section 8.A. thereof, you shall disburse the Escrow
     Deposit pursuant to such Demand immediately. As used herein, the term
     "Delivery Date" shall mean the date upon which Seller provides the last of
     the items required to be delivered to
<PAGE>

     Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.A.(i) of the Contract, as such date
     is set forth in a written document from Seller to Purchaser delivering such
     items.

2.   Notwithstanding any provision of this instrument to the contrary, as
     escrowee, you are hereby expressly authorized to regard and to comply with
     and obey any and all orders, judgments or decrees entered or issued by any
     Court, and in case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or
     decree of any Court, you shall not be liable to either of the parties
     hereto or any other person or entity by reason of such compliance,
     notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree be entered without
     jurisdiction or be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or
     vacated. In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this Escrow Agreement,
     to which you are or may at any time be a party, the undersigned Seller and
     Purchaser agree that the non-prevailing party shall pay to you upon demand
     all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by you in connection herewith.

3.   Any escrow fee to be charged by you is to be borne equally by the
     undersigned Seller and Purchaser.

4.   As escrowee, you shall invest the Escrow Deposit in an interest-bearing
     savings or money market account or short term U.S. Treasury Bills or
     similar cash equivalent securities, as the undersigned Purchaser may
     direct. Any interest earned on the Escrow Deposit, after you deduct your
     customary investment charges, if any, shall become and be deemed to be a
     part of the Escrow Deposit.

5.   All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
     be personally delivered or sent by overnight courier (such as Federal
     Express), by facsimile transmission or by first class United States Mail,
     postage prepaid, registered or certified (return receipt requested) to the
     respective addresses for the Seller, Purchaser and escrowee as herein
     provided. A notice is given on the date it is personally delivered, sent by
     overnight courier or facsimile transmission, or deposited with the United
     States Mail for delivery as aforesaid. A notice is received on the date it
     is personally delivered, the day after sent if sent by overnight courier or
     facsimile transmission or, if sent by mail as aforesaid, on the date noted
     on the return receipt.

provide information regarding the presence, location and quantity of asbestos
containing material ("ACM") and presumed ACM ("PACM") to various building
occupants, including employers of employees who lease space within the owner's
building.  In addition, the OSHA Regulations, specifically 29 C.F.R.
(S)1910.1001(j)(2)(ii) and 29 C.F.R. (S)1926.1101(n)(6), require building owners
to keep records of all information required to be maintained by the OSHA
Regulations and to transmit such records to subsequent owners at or before the
time of closing.

     [Name of Seller] ("Seller"), has, prior to the date of this letter,
provided [name of Purchaser] ("Purchaser") with copies of information required
to be maintained and transmitted as described above regarding ACM and PACM at
the property located at Brookwood Metroplex, Birmingham, Alabama, including

to herein collectively as the "Reports"). A list of such Reports is set forth on

compliance with the OSHA Regulations, or Seller's compliance with the OSHA
Regulations.

                        TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
                        ------------------------------

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is

PROPERTIES, LTD. - SERIES VIII, a Florida limited partnership ("Seller"),
METROPLEX, L.L.C., an Alabama limited liability company ("Metroplex"), and

and Parcel II are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Purchaser").

                                   RECITALS
                                   --------

A.   Seller and Boardwalk Management Corporation, an Alabama Corporation
("Boardwalk") entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of
July 30, 1999 (the "Initial Agreement") with respect to the purchase and sale of
that certain real property and the two (2) office buildings located thereon
located in Birmingham, Alabama and commonly known as Brookwood Metroplex.

B.   Boardwalk assigned all of its rights and obligations under the Initial
Agreement to Purchaser pursuant to that certain Assignment of Contract dated
November 18, 1999 by and among Boardwalk, Metroplex and Parcel II and consented
to by Seller (the "Contract Assignment"; the Initial Agreement and the Contract
Assignment and collectively referred to herein as the "Original Agreement").

C.   Seller and Purchaser desire to modify the Original Agreement as herein set
forth.

     THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals, the mutual covenants and
agreements herein set forth and the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

1.   Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have
     -------------
the meaning ascribed to it in the Original Agreement.
<PAGE>

2.   Initial Proration of Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes at Closing.
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4.C.(ii)(b) of the Initial Agreement presently provides that if the
actual taxes and assessments are not known as of Closing, the proration of real
estate and personal property taxes at Closing shall be based upon the most
recent assessed values and tax rates.  Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that,
unless the actual tax bills payable on or before December 31, 1999 have been
issued as of Closing (and reflect the reduction in the 1999 Valuation defined
and described in Paragraph 3 below), that the proration of real estate and
personal property taxes at Closing shall be made by applying the rates and
formulas used to calculate the tax bills payable on December 31, 1998 to a 1999
valuation of $10,721,600.  Reproration of such taxes shall be handled as
provided in the Initial Agreement, as modified as provided in Paragraph 3 below.

3.   Appeal of Assessed Valuation; Extension of True Up and Reproration Date.
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the date hereof, Seller initiated an appeal of, and Seller is presently
appealing, the 1999 valuation (the "1999 Valuation") of the Real Property with
the Jefferson County Board of Equalization (the "Appeal").  Such Appeal is being
prosecuted pursuant to Section 4.C.(ii)(h) of the Initial Agreement.  Subsequent
to Closing, Seller shall continue to prosecute such Appeal (and any further
appeals of any revised valuations issued after or in connection with such
Appeal).  Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that:  (1) Seller shall be
responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the costs incurred by Seller to
prosecute such Appeal and, if successful, obtain any reduction of the 1999
Valuation (including, without limitation, the costs for AVTAX [not to exceed
$4,000] and Equity Property Tax Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equity
Office Properties Trust), and Purchaser shall be responsible for seventy-five
percent (75%) of such costs incurred by Seller; (2) in the event that the total
amount of such costs are not known at Closing, then, at Closing, Seller and
Purchaser shall pay twenty-five percent (25%) and seventy-five (75%),
respectively, of the estimated amount of such costs as of Closing (with Seller
receiving a credit and Purchaser being charged for Purchaser's proportionate
share of such costs, as Seller has incurred such costs as of Closing), and,
subsequent to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall reprorate such costs upon
determination of the actual amount thereof, based on the percentages set forth
in subclause (1) of this sentence; (3) such reproration shall occur as part of
the True Up and the reprorations under Sections 4.C.(ii)(b) and 4.C.(ii)(f) of
the Initial Agreement shall take into account the costs incurred and savings
realized as a result of such reduction in the 1999 Valuation; and (4) since the
final real estate and personal property tax bills for the period through Closing
(which shall be payable on or before December 31, 2000) will be issued
subsequent to May 1, 2000, the True Up and the Reproration Date with respect to
real estate taxes and personal property taxes shall be postponed to a date as
soon as practicable after the date such costs are determined, but in any event
prior to December 31, 2000.

4.   Service Contracts.  Section 11.M. of the Initial Agreement provided that
     -----------------
Purchaser is obligated to assume the Existing Capital Service Contracts, any
Service Contracts consented to (or deemed to be consented to) by Purchaser in
accordance with Section 9.F.1. or Section 11.V. of the Initial Agreement, and
those Terminable Service Contracts that Purchaser elects to assume on or before
the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Notwithstanding that Purchaser did not
provide such notice prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller and
Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be obligated to
assume the Terminable Service Contracts set forth on SCHEDULE I attached hereto
                                                     ----------
and made a part hereof.

<PAGE>

5.   Utility Deposits-Letter of Credit with Water Company and Electric Company.
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seller presently has a $6,000 letter of credit (the "Water L/C") posted with the
Water Works Board of Birmingham (the "Water Board") and a $86,000 letter of
credit (the "Power L/C"; the Water L/C and the Power L/C are collectively
referred to herein as the "L/C") with the Alabama Power Company ("Alabama
Power") as a utility deposit.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that, once
Closing occurs, the L/C is to be returned to the Seller upon Closing and
Purchaser shall be obligated promptly after Closing to post any deposits that
the Water Board and/or Alabama Power may require to be posted to provide service
to the Property.  Subsequent to Closing, Purchaser shall provide its reasonable
cooperation to Seller to facilitate the return of the L/C to Seller.  In the
event that the Water Board and/or Alabama Power shall draw upon the Water L/C or
the Power L/C, as applicable, after Closing with respect to any amounts payable
by Purchaser after Closing, Purchaser shall be obligated to promptly reimburse
Seller for any such amounts.

6.   Obtaining Lien Waivers Post-Closing. Certain of the Service Contracts to be
     -----------------------------------
assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the Service Contract Assignment are
ongoing construction contracts. In the event that Seller has not obtained
unconditional lien waivers as of Closing from parties to such construction
contracts for amounts paid by Seller as of Closing, Purchaser shall provide its
reasonable cooperation to Seller after Closing to assist Seller in obtaining
