N.  Purchaser  assumes  full  responsibility  to  expeditiously  and  diligently
initiate  and  pursue  all steps  necessary  to obtain  the funds  required  for

for any  reason,  or no reason,  by giving  written  Notice to Seller and Escrow
Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. EST on the date of  expiration  of the  Feasibility
Period. If Purchaser  exercises such right to terminate,  this Purchase Contract
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to and except for
Purchaser's  liability under Section 5.3, and Escrow Agent shall promptly return
the  Deposit,  and all  interest  and income  earned  thereon to  Purchaser.  If
Purchaser fails to provide Seller with written Notice of  cancellation  prior to
the  end  of the  Feasibility  Period  in  strict  accordance  with  the  Notice
provisions of this Purchase  Contract,  this Purchase  Contract  shall remain in
full force and effect and Purchaser's  obligation to purchase the Property shall
be  non-contingent  and  unconditional  except  only  for  satisfaction  of  the
conditions expressly stated in this Purchase Contract.

U. Purchaser  shall  indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any actions taken by
Purchaser and its Consultants on the Property. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend

without  limitation,   to  disapprove  any  and  all  entries,  surveys,  tests,

liability,  costs, liens or violations of applicable law, or otherwise adversely
affect the Property or Seller's  interest  therein.  No consent by the Seller to
any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption
of liability or risk by Seller.  Purchaser hereby agrees to restore the Property
to the same condition existing  immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its
rights  pursuant  to this  ARTICLE  5 at  Purchaser's  sole  cost  and  expense.
Purchaser shall maintain casualty  insurance and comprehensive  public liability

any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury or death to more than one person and
$500,000.00  with  respect  to  property  damage,  by  water or  otherwise.  The
provisions  of this Section  shall  survive the Closing or  termination  of this
Purchase Contract.

V. Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialmen's liens or any other
liens to attach to the Property by reason of the  performance of any work or the

purchase of the Property by Purchaser,  Purchaser  shall use its best efforts to
prevent its Consultants, agents and employees from divulging such information to
any  unrelated  third parties  except as  reasonably  necessary to third parties
engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such
information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this
Purchase  Contract,   including   Purchaser's   attorneys  and  representatives,
prospective lenders and engineers.

remedy,  elect by written  notice given to Seller within five (5) days after the
Response  Notice is given,  either (a) to accept such title as Seller is able to
convey  without any  reduction or abatement  of the  Purchase  Price,  or (b) to
terminate  this Purchase  Contract in which event the Deposit,  and all interest
and income earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to
give notice of its election to terminate this Agreement within such five (5) day
period,  Purchaser  shall be deemed to have waived said  objections  and to have
elected to  proceed  to close the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Purchase
Contract.

Z. The existence of liens or encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions or
those  which  are  permitted  by this  Purchase  Contract  shall be deemed to be
Permitted Exceptions if the Title Insurer will insure Purchaser's title clear of
the matter or will  insure  against  the  enforcement  of such matter out of the
Property and if such lien or  encumbrance  is approved (or deemed  approved,  as
provided  herein)  by  Purchaser.  Unpaid  liens for real  estate  and  personal
property  taxes for years  prior to the fiscal  year in which the  Closing  Date
occurs and any other matter  which  Seller is obligated to pay and  discharge at
the Closing shall be deemed objections to title, whether Purchaser gives written
notice  of such or not,  and the  amount  thereof  chargeable  to  Seller,  plus
interest and  penalties  thereon,  if any,  shall be deducted  from the Purchase
Price on the Closing Date and paid to the Title  Insurer for the payment of such
matters,  the same being a material  obligation  of Seller  under this  Purchase
Contract.

AA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any deeds of trust and/or mortgages against
the Property  (collectively,  "Liens"),  including any and all  mortgages  which
secure those certain loans on the Property in the original  principal amounts of
$6,255,387.00  and  $193,466.00  made  by  Bank  of  America,  shall  be  deemed
objectionable  exceptions to title,  whether  Purchaser  gives written notice of
such or not, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured by Seller
at or before Closing,  the same being a material obligation of Seller under this
Purchase Contract.

BB.   Intentionally Deleted.
CC. Seller  covenants that it will not  voluntarily  create or cause any lien or
encumbrance to attach to the Property between the date of this Purchase Contract
and the Closing Date (other than Leases and  Property  Contracts in the ordinary
course of  business);  any such  monetary  lien or  encumbrance  so attaching by
voluntary act of Seller (hereinafter,  a "Voluntary  Intervening Lien") shall be
discharged  by the  Seller at or prior to  Closing  on the  Closing  Date or any
postponed Closing Date. Except as expressly provided above,  Seller shall not be
required to undertake  efforts to remove any other lien,  encumbrance,  security
interest, exception, objection or other matter, to make any expenditure of money
or institute  litigation or any other judicial or administrative  proceeding and
Seller may elect not to discharge the same;  provided,  however,  if any lien or
encumbrance  (other than a Voluntary  Intervening Lien) attaches to the Property
between the date of this Purchase Contract and the Closing Date, Seller shall be
required to satisfy or  discharge  said lien or  encumbrance  at or prior to the
Closing, provided that Seller shall not be required to expend more than $100,000
in connection  with such  satisfaction  or discharge.  If the amount required to
satisfy or discharge such lien or encumbrance exceeds $100,000,  Purchaser shall
have the option of either (a) paying the excess amount over $100,000 required to
satisfy  or  discharge  such  lien,  and  proceeding  to  the  Closing,  or  (b)
terminating this Purchase Contract, in which case, the Deposit shall be returned
and refunded to Purchaser,  Purchaser shall be entitled to  reimbursement of its
actual out-of-pocket due diligence costs, acquisition costs and legal fees up to
but not exceeding  $250,000,  and neither party shall have any further liability
hereunder,  subject to and except for Purchaser's liability under Section 5.3 of
this Purchase  Contract.  Seller shall have no option to terminate this Purchase
Contract  if  Purchaser  has  elected to pay the amount in excess of $100,000 to
satisfy or discharge  such lien or  encumbrance.  DD.  Purchaser,  at the shared
equal cost and  expense of  Purchaser  and  Seller,  may cause to be  prepared a
survey for the Property  ("Survey")  to be  delivered  to  Purchaser  and Seller
within the  Feasibility  Period.  The Survey (i) shall be prepared in accordance
with and shall comply with the minimum  requirements  of the ALTA; (ii) shall be
in a form, and shall be certified as of a date  satisfactory to Title Insurer to
enable  Title  Insurer  to  delete  standard  survey  exceptions  from the title
insurance policy to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitments,  except for any
Permitted Exceptions;  (iii) shall specifically show all improvements,  recorded
easements to the extent locatable,  set back lines, and such other matters shown
as exceptions by the Title  Commitments;  (iv) shall specifically show the right
of way for all adjacent public streets; (v) shall specifically  disclose whether
(and,  if so,  what part of) any of the  Property  is in an area  designated  as
requiring flood insurance under applicable federal laws regulating lenders; (vi)
shall contain a perimeter legal description of the Property which may be used in
the limited  warranty  deed or  equivalent  deed;  (vii) shall be  certified  to
Purchaser,  Purchaser's  lender,  Seller  and Title  Insurer  as being  true and
correct;  and (viii) shall certify that the legal  description set forth therein
describes  the same,  and  comprises  all of,  the real  estate  comprising  the
Property to be  purchased by  Purchaser  pursuant to the terms of this  Purchase
Contract. In the event the perimeter legal description of the Property contained
in the Survey  differs from that  contained in the deed or deeds by which Seller
took title to the Property,  the latter description shall be used in the limited
warranty deed  delivered to Purchaser at Closing,  and the Survey legal shall be
used in a  quitclaim  deed to the  Property  which  also shall be  delivered  to
Purchaser at Closing.  Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, may also
cause to be prepared an  environmental  report for the Property  ("Environmental
Report").

EE. Should such Survey  disclose  conditions that give rise to a title exception
other than a Permitted  Exception  or other  matters that  adversely  affect the
Property,   Purchaser  shall  have  the  right  to  object  thereto  within  the
Feasibility  Period in accordance  with the  procedures set forth in Section 6.1
above.  FF.  Purchaser  and Seller agree to make payment in full of all costs of
obtaining the Survey as required by this Purchase  Contract on or before Closing
or termination of this Purchase Contract.

                                     CLOSING

GG. Dates, Places Of Closing, Prorations, Delinquent Rent and Closing Costs. HH.
The  Closing  shall  occur no later than  thirty  (30)  calendar  days after the
expiration  of the  Feasibility  Period,  through an escrow with  Escrow  Agent,
whereby the Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present
at the Closing  and may  deliver  documents  by  overnight  air courier or other
means.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  (a) Purchaser  shall have the right to
close prior to the  originally  scheduled  Closing  Date on the  condition  that
Purchaser pay Seller's  additional  interest costs  incurred in connection  with
prepaying  Seller's  first  mortgage  on the  Property  prior to the  originally
scheduled  Closing Date,  and (b)  Purchaser  shall have the right to extend the
Closing Date for up to thirty (30) calendar days on the condition that (i) on or
before  5 P.M.  Eastern  Time on the  fifth  (5th)  calendar  day  prior  to the
originally  scheduled  Closing Date,  Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an
additional  non-refundable  deposit in the amount of $50,000.00  (the "Extension
Deposit"),  which  deposit  shall be applied  toward the  Purchase  Price,  (ii)
Purchaser  notifies  Seller on or before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time on the fifth (5th)
calendar day prior to the  originally  scheduled  Closing Date that Purchaser is
exercising this extension option,  and (iii) Purchaser pays Seller's  additional
interest costs incurred in connection with prepaying  Seller's first mortgage on
the Property after the originally  scheduled  Closing Date. II. The Closing Date
may be extended without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later than
fourteen  (14) days  following  the Closing  Date  specified  above to satisfy a
condition  to be  satisfied  by  Seller,  or  such  later  date  as is  mutually
acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.

JJ. All normal and customarily proratable items, including,  without limitation,
Rents  (as  defined  below)  actually  received,  operating  expenses,  personal
property taxes,  other operating  expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate,  for all of same
attributable  to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts
paid by Seller  attributable  to the  period on or after the  Closing  Date,  if
assumed by  Purchaser)  and  Purchaser  being  responsible  for, and credited or
charged,  as the case may be, for all of same  attributable to the period on and
after the Closing Date.  All unapplied  deposits  under Tenant  leases,  if any,
shall be  transferred  by Seller to Purchaser at the  Closing.  Purchaser  shall
assume at  Closing  the  obligations  under the  Property  Contracts  assumed by
Purchaser,  provided that any payments  under the Property  Contracts  have been
prorated.  Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property,  or any
installment of assessments  payable in installments which installment is payable
in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based
upon actual days involved.  The proration of real property taxes or installments
of assessments  shall be based upon the assessed  valuation and tax rate figures
for the year in which the Closing  occurs to the extent the same are  available;
provided,  that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value
of the  Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not  available
at the  Closing  Date,  the  proration  shall  be made  using  figures  from the
preceding  year.  The  provisions  of this Section  7.1.3 shall apply during the
Proration  Period (as defined  below).  Rents and all related  charges  shall be
prorated  based on actual  collections as of the Closing Date. KK. If any of the
items subject to proration  hereunder  cannot be prorated at the Closing because
the information  necessary to compute such proration is  unavailable,  or if any
errors or  omissions  in  computing  prorations  at the Closing  are  discovered
subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors
and omissions  corrected as soon as  practicable  after the Closing Date and the
proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period
(the  "Proration  Period")  from the  Closing  Date until one (1) year after the
Closing  Date.   Neither  party  hereto  shall  have  the  right  to  require  a
recomputation of a Closing  proration or a correction of an error or omission in
a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one of the parties hereto
(i) has obtained the  previously  unavailable  information or has discovered the
error or omission, and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the other party together
with a copy of its good faith  recomputation  of the proration and copies of all
substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a party to
obtain any previously  unavailable  information or discover an error or omission
with  respect  to an item  subject to  proration  hereunder  and to give  Notice
thereof as provided  above within the Proration  Period shall be deemed a waiver
of its right to cause a  recomputation  or a correction  of an error or omission
with respect to such item after the Closing Date.

LL. If on the Closing  Date any Tenant is in arrears in any Rent  payment  under
any Tenant  lease (the  "Delinquent  Rent"),  any  Delinquent  Rent  received by
Purchaser  and Seller  from such Tenant  after the  Closing  shall be applied to
amounts  due and  payable by such  Tenant  during the  following  periods in the
following order of priority:  (i) first, to the period of time after the Closing
Date,  and (ii)  second,  to the period of time  before  the  Closing  Date.  If
Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by Seller or Purchaser after the
Closing are due and payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the
appropriate  sum, less a proportionate  share of any reasonable  attorneys' fees
and costs and expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, shall
be promptly paid to the other party. Any monies received by Seller after closing
shall be forwarded to Purchaser for disbursement in accordance with the order of
payment provided herein above. After the Closing,  Seller shall continue to have
the right, but not the obligation,  in its own name, to demand payment of and to
collect Delinquent Rent owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include,
without  limitation,  the  right  to  continue  or  commence  legal  actions  or
proceedings  against any Tenant  (provided,  that Seller  shall not commence any
legal actions or proceedings  against any Tenant which  continues as a Tenant at
the Property  after Closing  without the prior consent of Purchaser,  which will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),  and the delivery of the Assignment as
defined  in  Section  7.2.1.3  shall not  constitute  a waiver by Seller of such
right.  Purchaser  agrees to  cooperate  with Seller at no cost or  liability to
Purchaser in  connection  with all efforts by Seller to collect such  Delinquent
Rent and to take all steps,  whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be
necessary  to carry  out the  intention  of the  foregoing,  including,  without
limitation,  the  delivery  to  Seller,  within  seven (7) days  after a written
request, of any relevant books and records (including,  without limitation, rent
statements,  receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such
rent),  the  execution  of any and all  consents  or  other  documents,  and the
undertaking  of  any  act  reasonably  necessary  for  the  collection  of  such
Delinquent Rent by Seller;  provided,  however,  that Purchaser's  obligation to
cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate  Purchaser to
terminate any Tenant lease with an existing  Tenant or evict any existing Tenant
from the Property.  The  provisions of this Section 7.1.5 shall apply during the
Proration Period.

MM. Seller shall pay the cost of all transfer taxes (e.g.,  excise stamp taxes).
Purchaser shall pay the cost of all recording costs with respect to the Closing,
the cost of the  Title  Policy,  and the cost of any  lender's  policy  of title
insurance.  Seller and Purchaser  shall share equally in the costs of the Escrow
Agent for escrow fees.

NN.   Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing.
OO. Seller.  At Closing,  Seller shall deliver to the Escrow Agent,  each of the
following  items, as applicable:  PP. Limited Warranty Deed in the form attached
as Exhibit  7.2.1.1 and, if applicable a quitclaim  deed as set forth in Section
6.7 hereof,  to  Purchaser.  The  acceptance  of such deed at Closing,  shall be
deemed  to be full  performance  of,  and  discharge  of,  every  agreement  and
obligation on Seller's part to be performed under this Purchase Contract, except
for those  that this  Purchase  Contract  specifically  provides  shall  survive
Closing.

QQ. A Bill of Sale in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.2 covering all Property
Contracts,  Leases,  Permits  (other than  Excluded  Permits)  and  Fixtures and
Tangible  Personal Property required to be transferred to Purchaser with respect
to such  Property.  Purchaser  shall  countersign  the same so as to  effect  an
assumption by Purchaser of, among other things, Seller's obligations thereunder.
RR. An Assignment (to the extent assignable and in force and effect) in the form
attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.3 of all of Seller's right,  title and interest in and
to  the  Miscellaneous  Property  Assets,  subject  to  any  required  consents.
Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser,
including, without limitation, of Seller's obligations thereunder.

SS.   A closing statement executed by Seller.
TT. A title affidavit or at Seller's option an indemnity, as applicable,  in the
customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller to enable Title Insurer to delete
the standard exceptions to the title insurance policy set forth in this Purchase
Contract (other than matters  constituting any Permitted  Exceptions and matters
which are to be completed or performed  post-Closing)  to be issued  pursuant to
the Title  Commitment;  provided that such  affidavit does not subject Seller to
any greater liability, or impose any additional  obligations,  other than as set
forth in this Purchase Contract; and UU. A certification of Seller's non-foreign
status  pursuant  to  Section  1445 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended.

VV.  Except for the items  expressly  listed  above to be  delivered at Closing,
delivery  of any  other  required  items  shall  be  deemed  made by  Seller  to
Purchaser,  if Seller leaves such  documents at the Property in their  customary
place of storage or in the custody of Purchaser's representatives.

WW.   Intentionally Deleted

XX. A list certified to the best of Seller's  knowledge,  disclosing any current
pending and/or threatened litigation affecting the Property.

knowledge,  listing the monthly base rent  payable,  lease  expiration  date and
unapplied security deposit as of the Closing Date.

AAA. Resolutions,  certificates of good standing,  and such other organizational
documents  as  Title  Insurer  shall  reasonably  require  evidencing   Seller's
authority to consummate this transaction.

BBB. To the extent in Seller's possession or control, originals or copies of the
Leases and Property Contracts,  permits,  lease files,  warranties,  guaranties,
plans and  specifications,  operating  manuals,  keys to the property,  Seller's

disbursement to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with respect to the
Property being conveyed at such Closing:

DDD. The full  Purchase  Price as required by ARTICLE 3 hereof plus or minus the
adjustments  or  prorations  required by this Purchase  Contract.  If at Closing
there are any liens or  encumbrances on the Property that Seller is obligated or
elects to pay and  discharge,  Seller may use any portion of the Purchase  Price
for the  Property(s)  to  satisfy  the same,  provided  that  Seller  shall have
delivered to Title  Company,  on such Closing  instruments  in  recordable  form
sufficient  to satisfy  such liens and  encumbrances  of record  (or,  as to any
mortgages or deeds of trust, appropriate payoff letters, acceptable to the Title
Insurer), together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments.

EEE.  A closing statement executed by Purchaser.

Seller and prior to the Closing will have taken as  applicable,  all  corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions required for

the transactions  contemplated by this Purchase Contract. The compliance with or
fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result
in a breach of, the terms,  conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under,  any  purchase  contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is
otherwise  bound.  Seller has not made any other purchase  contract for the sale
of, or given any other person the right to  purchase,  all or any part of any of
the Property; LLL. Seller owns insurable,  fee title to the Property,  including
all real property  contained  therein required to be sold to Purchaser,  subject
only to the Permitted Exceptions (provided, however, that if this representation
is or becomes untrue,  Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the remedies set
forth in Section 6.2 hereof and Seller shall have no other liability as a result
thereof,  either before or after  Closing);  MMM.  There are no adverse or other
parties in possession of the Property, except for occupants,  guests and tenants
under the Leases (provided,  however,  that if this representation is or becomes
untrue,  Purchaser's  remedies  shall be  limited to the  remedies  set forth in
Section 6.2  hereof).  NNN. The joinder of no person or entity other than Seller
is  necessary  to convey the  Property,  fully and  completely,  to Purchaser at
Closing,  or to fulfill Seller's  obligations and Seller has all necessary right
and  authority  to convey  and  assign to  Purchaser  all  contract  rights  and
warranties  required to be conveyed and assigned to  Purchaser  hereunder;  OOO.

knowledge,  there  are  no  actions,  proceedings,  litigation  or  governmental
investigations or condemnation  actions either pending or threatened against the
Property,  as applicable;  QQQ.  Seller has no knowledge of any claims for labor
performed,   materials   furnished  or  services  rendered  in  connection  with
constructing,  improving or repairing any of the Property, as applicable, caused
by Seller and which remain  unpaid beyond the date for which payment was due and
in respect of which liens may or could be filed against any of the Property,  as
applicable;  RRR. To Seller's  knowledge,  Seller has not  received  any written
notice of any proposed taking,  condemnation or special  assessment with respect

Seller under any of the Property  Contracts  that will not be  terminated on the
Closing Date;  UUU.  Seller agrees to maintain its existing  insurance  policies
covering  the  Property in full force and effect  through the Closing  Date,  to
continue to maintain  the  Property as Seller has been  operating  the  Property
immediately  prior to the Effective  Date,  and to cause any of the units on the
Property  that are vacant as of two (2) days prior to the Closing  Date to be in
"rent ready" condition on the Closing Date; and VVV. To Seller's knowledge,  all
documents relating to the Property that were delivered by Seller to Purchaser in
connection with this Purchase  Contract,  are true,  correct and complete in all
material  respects,  and none contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to  state  a  material  fact.  WWW.  Except  for  the  representations  and
warranties  expressly  set forth  above in  Subsection  8.1.1,  the  Property is
expressly  purchased  and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL  FAULTS."  The
Purchase  Price and the terms and  conditions set forth herein are the result of
arm's-length  bargaining  between  entities  familiar with  transactions of this
kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall
have the benefit of, and is not relying upon any information  provided by Seller
or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made
by  or  enforceable  directly  against  Seller  or  Broker,  including,  without
limitation,  any  relating  to  the  value  of the  Property,  the  physical  or
environmental  condition of the Property,  any state,  federal,  county or local
law,  ordinance,  order or permit;  or the  suitability,  compliance  or lack of
compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter
of or relating to the Property  (other than any covenants of title  contained in
the deeds  conveying  the Property  and the  representations  set forth  above).
Purchaser  represents  and  warrants  that as of the date  hereof  and as of the
Closing  Date, it has and shall have  reviewed and  conducted  such  independent
analyses,   studies,  reports,   investigations  and  inspections  as  it  deems
appropriate in connection with the Property.  If Seller provides or has provided
any documents,  summaries,  opinions or work product of consultants,  surveyors,
architects,  engineers,  title companies,  governmental authorities or any other
person or entity with respect to the Property,  including,  without  limitation,
the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done
so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties,  Purchaser shall not
rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such  documents,  summaries,
opinions or work  product  shall not create or give rise to any  liability of or
against  Seller,  Seller's  partners or  affiliates  or any of their  respective
partners, officers, directors, participants,  employees, contractors, attorneys,
consultants,     representatives,     agents,     successors,     assigns     or
predecessors-in-interest.  Purchaser  shall  rely only upon any title  insurance
obtained  by  Purchaser  with  respect  to  title  to  the  Property.  Purchaser
acknowledges   and  agrees  that  no   representation   has  been  made  and  no
responsibility  is  assumed  by  Seller  with  respect  to  current  and  future
applicable  zoning  or  building  code  requirements  or the  compliance  of the
Property with any other laws,  rules,  ordinances or regulations,  the financial
earning  capacity  or  expense  history of the  Property,  the  continuation  of
contracts,  continued occupancy levels of the Property,  or any part thereof, or
the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the
foregoing,  occupancy at Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right,
but not the  obligation,  to enforce  its rights  against  any and all  Property
occupants,  guests or  tenants.  Except as  otherwise  set forth  herein,  or if
arising from a breach by Seller of any of its  obligations  hereunder  including
those set forth in Section  8.1.5 and  Section  9.1,  Purchaser  agrees that the
departure  or removal,  prior to Closing,  of any of such  guests,  occupants or
tenants  shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the
part of Purchaser,  nor shall it affect the  obligations of Purchaser under this
Purchase Contract in any manner whatsoever;  and Purchaser shall close title and
accept  delivery  of the deed with or without  such  tenants in  possession  and
without any  allowance or reduction  in the Purchase  Price under this  Purchase
Contract.  Purchaser  hereby  releases  Seller  from  any  and  all  claims  and
liabilities  relating to the  foregoing  matters,  except as provided in Section
8.1.3 below.  XXX. Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the
foregoing  representations  and  warranties  made  by  Seller  herein  and  that
Purchaser has so relied.  Seller and Purchaser agree that those  representations
and  warranties  contained in Section 8.1 shall survive  Closing for a period of
one (1) year from the Closing Date (the "Survival Period"). Seller shall have no
liability  after the  Survival  Period with respect to the  representations  and
warranties  contained  herein except to the extent that  Purchaser has delivered
written  notice  ("Notice  of  Breach")  to Seller  specifying  a breach of such
representations  and  warranties  on or before the  expiration  of the  Survival
Period.  Seller  shall have no liability  for a matter  specified in a Notice of
Breach  for  longer  than  three (3) months  after the  Survival  Period  unless
Purchaser   has  filed  a  lawsuit   against   Seller  for  the  breach  of  any
representation or warranty  specified in such Notice of Breach within that three
(3) month period. In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained
in Section 8.1 and  Purchaser  had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller
shall not have any liability in connection therewith.  YYY.  Representations and
warranties  above made to the  knowledge  of Seller shall not be deemed to imply
any duty of inquiry other than an inquiry by such Designated  Representatives as
they deem  reasonable  under the  circumstances.  For purposes of this  Purchase
Contract,  the term  Seller's  "knowledge"  shall mean and refer to only  actual
knowledge  of the  Designated  Representative  (as  hereinafter  defined) of the
Seller  and  shall  not be  construed  to refer to the  knowledge  of any  other
partner, officer,  director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or
any affiliate of the Seller,  or to impose upon such  Designated  Representative
any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence
thereof  pertains,  or  to  impose  upon  such  Designated   Representative  any
individual   personal   liability.   As  used   herein,   the  term   Designated
Representative  shall refer to H. Smith of  Apartment  Investment  &  Management
Company ("AIMCO"), as the on-site property manager (the "Property Manager"), Ms.
Cindy Ducharme,  the Regional  Property  Manager handling this Property at AIMCO
(the  "Regional  Property  Manager")  and Mr. Harry  Alcock,  as Executive  Vice
President of the  managing  general  partner of Seller.  ZZZ. For the purpose of
inducing  Purchaser to enter into this Purchase  Contract and to consummate  the
sale  and  purchase  of the  Property  in  accordance  herewith,  Seller  hereby
covenants  that,  so long as this  Purchase  Contract  remains in full force and
effect:  AAAA. Seller will not assign,  transfer,  grant or in any way convey or
allow  the  conveyance  of all or any  part  of the  Property,  or any  interest
therein,  or enter  into any  purchase  and sale  contract  with  respect to the
Property or any part thereof.  BBBB.  Seller will not, without the prior written
consent of Purchaser,  enter into any new Lease,  or renew,  extend or amend any
existing Lease ("Lease  Transaction").  Purchaser  shall have three (3) business
days after receipt from Seller of a request for consent to a Lease  Transaction,
in which to issue or refuse such consent,  and if Purchaser  fails or refuses to
act within such three (3) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have
issued such consent.  If during the Feasibility  Period  Purchaser  unreasonably
disapproves  of a Lease  Transaction,  Seller shall have the option to terminate
this  Purchase  Contract upon five (5) days written  notice to  Purchaser.  Upon
Purchaser's receipt of such termination  notice,  Purchaser shall have the right
to either accept the termination (in which case the Deposit shall be returned to
Purchaser  and neither party shall have any  obligation to the other,  except as
expressly  set forth  herein  for  provisions  which  survive  termination),  or
Purchaser may approve the Lease Transaction (which was previously  disapproved),
and permit the Purchase Contract to continue. If notice of approval of the Lease
Transaction  is not delivered to Seller  within five (5) days after  Purchaser's
receipt of the  termination  notice,  Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted
Seller's  termination.  Seller shall not have the foregoing right of termination
after the expiration of the Feasibility  Period.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing
Seller  shall  have the  right,  without  Purchaser's  consent to enter into new
Leases of  twelve  (12)  months or less in  duration  at rental  rates  that are
reasonably consistent with Seller's current practices at the Property or modify,
extend or amend existing Leases in the ordinary course of business provided such
modifications,  amendments  or  extensions  do not exceed  twelve (12) months in
duration.  CCCC.  Seller  will  continue  to  operate,  maintain  and manage the
Property in a manner reasonably consistent with Seller's current practice. DDDD.
Seller will maintain any and all insurance policies  including,  but not limited
to, fire,  hazard,  liability  and worker's  compensation  policies,  if any, in
effect on or at the Property as of the Effective  Date.  EEEE.  Seller shall not
enter into any new Property  Contracts which are not terminable upon thirty (30)
days notice  without  payment of any penalty fees or charges,  without the prior
written consent of Purchaser.  FFFF. Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser
GGGG.  For the purpose of inducing  Seller to enter into this Purchase  Contract

Seller.  LLLL.  Purchaser  is duly  authorized  to execute and  deliver,  acting
through its duly  empowered and authorized  officers and members,  respectively,

litigation  which, if determined  adversely,  would restrain the consummation of
any of the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Purchase  Contract  or  declare
illegal,  invalid or  nonbinding  any of the  covenants  or  obligations  of the
Purchaser.

                                    BROKERAGE

BBBBB.  Seller  represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with
CB Richard Ellis  ("Broker") in connection with this Purchase  Contract.  Seller
and Purchaser each  represents and warrants to the other that other than Broker,
it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate  broker,
sales person or finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party

                                   POSSESSION

EEEEE.  Possession of the Property subject to the Permitted  Exceptions shall be
delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, subject to Purchaser's right of entry for
inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

FFFFF. In the event Purchaser  terminates this Purchase  Contract  following the
Feasibility  Period for any reason other than Seller's inability to convey title
as required by this Purchase Contract,  or defaults hereunder on or prior to the
Closing  Date and  consummation  of the Closing does not occur by reason of such
termination or default by Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser agree that it would be
impractical  and  extremely  difficult to estimate the damages  which Seller may
suffer.  Therefore,  Seller and  Purchaser  hereby  agree  that,  except for the
Purchaser's  obligations to Seller under Section 5.3, the reasonable estimate of
the total net  detriment  that Seller would  suffer in the event that  Purchaser
terminates  this  Purchase  Contract  or defaults  hereunder  on or prior to the
Closing  Date is and shall be, as  Seller's  sole  remedy  (whether at law or in
equity),  the right to receive  from the Escrow Agent and retain the full amount
of the Deposit.  The payment and performance of the above as liquidated  damages
is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty  within the meaning of applicable law
and is intended to settle all issues and  questions  about the amount of damages
suffered  by Seller in the  applicable  event,  except  only for  damages  under
Section 5.3 above,  irrespective of the time when the inquiry about such damages
may take place.  Upon any such failure by  Purchaser  hereunder,  this  Purchase
Contract shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for the Purchaser's obligations
to Seller  under  Section  5.3 above,  and the right of Seller to  collect  such
liquidated damages to the extent not theretofore paid by Purchaser.

GGGGG.  Provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract and is
not otherwise in default hereunder, if the Closing does not occur as a result of
Seller's default hereunder,  Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to elect to either
(a) terminate this Purchase  Contract and receive  reimbursement  of the Deposit
and all interest and income earned thereon, or (b) enforce specific  performance
of this  Purchase  Contract.  In the event  Purchaser  is unable to enforce  the
remedy of specific  performance after using  commercially  reasonable efforts to
seek to enforce such remedy,  then in lieu of  obtaining  specific  performance,
Purchaser  shall have the right to bring suit for damages  against  Seller in an
amount not to exceed  $285,000.00 in addition to receiving  reimbursement of the
Deposit.

                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

HHHHH.  In the event that the  Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty prior to Closing, and the cost of repair is more than $712,500.00, then
Seller will have no  obligation  to repair such  damage or  destruction  and, at
Purchaser's  option,  this Agreement  shall  terminate.  In the event  Purchaser
elects not to terminate  this  Agreement,  this  transaction  shall be closed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement,  notwithstanding any such damage or
destruction  and  Purchaser  shall  receive all  insurance  proceeds  pertaining
thereto  (plus  a  credit  against  the  Purchase  Price  in the  amount  of any
deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith) at Closing.

IIIII.  In the event that the  Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty prior to the Closing,  and the cost of repair is less than $712,500.00,
this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
notwithstanding the damage or destruction;  provided, however, Seller shall make
such repairs if they can be reasonably effected before the Closing. If Seller is
unable to effect such  repairs,  then  Purchaser  shall  receive  all  insurance
proceeds  pertaining  thereto (plus a credit  against the Purchase  Price in the
amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith) at Closing.

                                  RATIFICATION

JJJJJ.  This Purchase  Contract shall be null and void unless fully executed and
delivered by Purchaser and Seller on or before August 21, 2000.

                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

KKKKK.  In the event that at the time of Closing all or any part of the Property
is (or has previously been) acquired,  or is about to be acquired,  by authority
of any governmental  agency in purchase in lieu thereof (or in the event that at
such time  there is any notice of any such  acquisition  or intent to acquire by
any such  governmental  agency),  Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's
option,  to terminate  this Purchase  Contract by giving  written  Notice within
Fifteen (15) days of  Purchaser's  receipt from Seller of the occurrence of such
event and recover the Deposit  hereunder,  and all  interest  and income  earned
thereon, or to settle in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract for
the full Purchase Price and receive the full benefit of any condemnation award.

be required to take title to or contract for the purchase of any other property.
Seller's  assignment  of the  rights or  obligations  of Seller  hereunder  to a
qualified  intermediary  shall not  relieve,  release or  absolve  Seller of its
obligations  to Purchaser.  In no event shall the Closing Date be delayed by the
Like Kind Exchange.  Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and
against any and all  liability  arising from and out of the Like Kind  Exchange.
DDDDDD.  No Personal  Liability of  Officers,  Trustees or directors of Seller's
Partners

            Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is entered into by Seller

      THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT ("Escrow Agreement") made this _____day of December,
2000 by and among SHELTER  PROPERTIES VI, a South Carolina  limited  partnership
("Seller"), and LANE REALTY ADVISORS, INC., a Georgia corporation ("Purchaser");
and STEWART TITLE GUARANTY COMPANY ("Escrow Agent");

                                   WITNESSETH:

      Whereas  Purchaser  and Seller are parties to a certain  Purchase and Sale
Contract  (the  "Purchase  Contract")  made  and  dated  as of the  _____day  of
December, 2000; and

      Whereas,  the Purchase  Contract requires that Purchaser provide a deposit
in the amount of Fifty  Thousand and No/100  Dollars  ($50,000.00)  in cash (the
"Initial  Deposit"),  to be held  pursuant  to an escrow  agreement  approved by
Purchaser and Seller; and

      Whereas,  the  Purchase  Contract  requires  that on or  before  5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the date of  expiration  of the  Feasibility  Period,  Purchaser
shall provide an additional  deposit in the amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($240,000.00) in cash (the "Additional Deposit"),  to be held
pursuant to an escrow agreement approved by Purchaser and Seller

      Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:

1. Establishment of Escrow.  Escrow Agent hereby  acknowledges  receipt of Fifty
Thousand  and No/100  Dollars  ($50,000.00)  in cash  (constituting  the Initial
Deposit),  to be  deposited,  held,  invested,  and disbursed for the benefit of
Seller and Purchaser and their  respective  successors and assigns,  as provided
herein and as provided in the Purchase Contract.

2. Investment of Escrow Fund. All funds received by Escrow Agent,  including the
Initial  Deposit  and,  to the  extent  paid,  the  Additional  Deposit  and the
Extension  Deposit,  (as defined in the Purchase  Contract)  (collectively,  the
"Escrow  Fund"),  shall  be  held  in  insured  accounts  and  invested  in such
short-term,  high-grade  securities,  money market  funds or accounts,  interest
-bearing  bank  accounts,  bank  certificates  of  deposit  or  bank  repurchase
agreements as Escrow Agent,  in its  discretion,  deems suitable  (provided that
Escrow  Agent  shall  invest the Escrow  Fund as jointly  directed by Seller and
Purchaser  should Seller and Purchaser each in their  respective sole discretion
determine to issue such joint  investment  instructions to the Escrow Agent) and
all interest and income  thereon  shall become part of the Escrow Fund and shall
be remitted to the party entitled to the Escrow Fund, as set forth below.

3.  Application  of Escrow  Fund.  Escrow  Agent  shall hold the Escrow  Fund as
provided  above and (a) if the sale of the  Property is closed by the date fixed
therefor (or any extension  date provided for by mutual  written  consent of the
parties hereto,  given or withheld in their respective sole discretion),  Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Escrow Fund to Seller in immediately  available funds by
wire transfer in accordance with the  instructions of Seller on the Closing Date
as set forth in the  Purchase  Contract,  (b) if the sale of the Property is not
closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension  date) owing to failure
of satisfaction of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations,  the Escrow
Agent shall return and refund the Escrow Fund to  Purchaser,  (c) if the sale of
the  Property is not closed by the date fixed  therefor  (or any such  extension
date) owing to failure of performance by Seller,  Purchaser shall give Notice to
the Escrow Agent and Seller and in such Notice shall state  whether it elects as
its remedy  return of the Escrow Fund or specific  performance  of the  Purchase
Contract;  if Purchaser  elects  return of the Escrow  Fund,  Escrow Agent shall
return and refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser,  (d) if the sale of the Property
is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such  extension  date) owing to
failure of performance  by Purchaser,  Escrow Agent shall  forthwith  deliver to
Seller  the Escrow  Fund in  immediately  available  funds by wire  transfer  in
accordance  with the  instructions  of Seller,  and (e) if Purchaser  shall have
canceled the Purchase  Contract on or before the  expiration of the  Feasibility
Period (as defined in the Purchase Contract),  the Escrow Agent shall return and
refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser.

      If on or prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement,  a party claims
to be entitled to payment of the Escrow Fund under the  provisions  referred to,
such party  shall give  Notice to the  Escrow  Agent and the other  party of the
claim in writing,  describing  in such  Notice the nature of the claim,  and the
provisions  of the  Purchase  Contract  on which the claim is based.  Unless the
other party sends the Escrow Agent a written objection to the claim, with a copy
concurrently to the claiming  party,  within ten (10) days after delivery of the
Notice of claim, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been approved.
In such case, or in the event of mutual written  consent of the parties  hereto,
given or withheld in their  respective  sole  discretion,  Escrow  Agent  shall,
within  two  (2)  business   days   thereafter,   pay  the  claim  as  demanded.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Escrow Agent shall  deliver the Escrow Fund to
Seller forthwith upon Closing in accordance with the terms of subpart (a) of the
immediately preceding paragraph.

      When all monies  held by Escrow  Agent have been  finally  distributed  in
accordance herewith, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate. 4. Liability. Escrow
Agent will be obligated to perform only the duties that are  expressly set forth
herein.  In case of conflicting  demands upon Escrow Agent, it may (i) refuse to
comply therewith as long as such disagreement  continues and make no delivery or
other disposition of any funds or property then held (and Escrow Agent shall not
be or become  liable in any way for such  failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting or adverse claims or demands, except for its failure to exercise due
care,  willful breach and willful  misconduct);  and (ii) continue to so refrain
and so refuse to act until all differences  have been adjusted by agreement and,
Escrow Agent has been notified  thereof in writing  signed jointly by Seller and
Purchaser or (iii) to interplead the portion of Escrow Fund in dispute.

5. No  Obligation  to Take Legal  Action.  Escrow  Agent  shall not be under any
obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Escrow  Agreement or
for its enforcement,  or to appear in, prosecute,  or defend any action or legal
proceeding  which,  in its  opinion,  would or might  involve  it in any  costs,
expense,  loss,  or  liability,  unless  and as often as  required  by it, it is
furnished  with  satisfactory  security  and  indemnity  against all such costs,
expenses, losses, or liabilities.

6. Status of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent is to be  considered  and regarded as a
depository  only, and shall not be responsible or liable (except for its failure

deposited pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, nor as to the identity,  authority,
or rights of any person  executing the same.  Escrow  Agent's  duties  hereunder
shall be limited to the  safekeeping and investment of money,  instruments,  and

Escrow  Agreement.  7.  Written  Instructions  of Parties.  Notwithstanding  any
contrary provision contained herein, Escrow Agent shall, at all times, have full
right and  authority  and the duty and  obligation  to pay over and disburse the

      THIS FIRST  AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT (this  "Amendment") is
made and entered into as of the 5th day of October, 2000, by and between SHELTER

      WHEREAS,  Purchaser and Seller entered into that certain Purchase and Sale

(as defined in the Contract);

      WHEREAS,  the parties  hereto  desire to amend and modify the  Contract in
certain respects, all as more particularly set forth below.

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  for and in  consideration of Ten Dollars in hand paid by
the  parties  one to the other and other good and  valuable  consideration,  the
receipt,  adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged,  Purchaser
and Seller do hereby agree as follows:

     All  capitalized  terms not otherwise  defined in this Amendment shall have

Purchaser  and Seller  hereby  acknowledge  that the  Contract  was  effectively

2000 from Melissa A.  Schnell,  Purchaser's  counsel,  to Shelter  Properties VI

                    The Contract is hereby modified as follows:

      The  following  language  is  hereby  deleted  from  Paragraph  9.1 of the

                  "The total purchase price ("Purchase  Price") for the Property
            shall be  Fourteen  Million Two Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  and no/100
            Dollars  ($14,250,000.00),  which  shall  be  paid by  Purchaser  as

            Dollars  ($14,150,000.00),  which  shall  be paid by  Purchaser,  as
            follows:"

      The  following  language is hereby  deleted  from  Paragraph  7.1.1 of the
Contract:

                  "The  Closing  shall occur no later than thirty (30)  calendar

            escrow with Escrow  Agent,  whereby the Seller,  Purchaser and their
            attorneys  need not be  physically  present at the  Closing  and may
            deliver   documents  by  overnight   air  courier  or  other  means.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Purchaser shall have the right to
            close  prior  to  the  originally  scheduled  Closing  Date  on  the
            condition  that  Purchaser pay Seller's  additional  interest  costs

            Property  prior to the  originally  scheduled  Closing Date, and (b)
            Purchaser  shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to
            thirty (30) calendar  days on the condition  that (i) on or before 5

            toward the Purchase  Price,  (ii)  Purchaser  notifies  Seller on or
            before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time on the fifth (5th) calendar day prior to

            interest costs incurred in connection with prepaying  Seller's first
            mortgage on the  Property  after the  originally  scheduled  Closing
            Date."

      And the following language inserted in lieu thereof:

                  "The  Closing  shall occur no later than  November  14,  2000,

            condition that  Purchaser pay Seller's  actual  additional  interest
            cost incurred in connection with prepaying Seller's first and second
            mortgages on the Property, not to exceed one month's interest, prior
            to the originally scheduled Closing Date only if Purchaser's failure
            to close on Seller's lender's designated date results in a situation
            where  Seller  owes its Lender  interest  for a period  between  the
            actual  Closing Date and the originally  schedule  Closing Date as a
            result of  accelerating  the Closing Date,  and (b) Purchaser  shall
            have the  right to extend  the  Closing  Date for up to thirty  (30)
            calendar days on the condition (i) on or before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time
            on the third (3rd)  calendar day prior to the  originally  scheduled

            Deposit"), which deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price,
            (ii)  Purchaser  will  endeavor in good faith to notify Seller on or
            before  November 1, 2000 as to the time frame within which Purchaser
            intends to close the transaction, (iii) Purchaser notifies Seller on
            or before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time on the third (3rd) calendar day prior
            to  the  originally   scheduled   Closing  Date  that  Purchaser  is
            exercising  this extension  option,  and (iv) Purchaser pay Seller's
            actual   additional   interest  cost  incurred  in  connection  with
            prepaying  Seller's first and second mortgages on the Property,  not
            to exceed  one  month's  interest,  after the  originally  scheduled
            Closing  Date  only if  Purchaser's  failure  to close  on  Seller's
            lender's  designated  date results in a situation  where Seller owes
            its Lender  interest  for a period  after the  Closing  Date,  as so
            extended, as a result of such extension of Closing."

Seller hereby acknowledges receipt of Purchaser's  Objection Notice, by means of

agree that,  within ten (10) days of the date  hereof,  Seller will  deliver its
Response Notice to Purchaser  detailing which title objections  Seller elects to
cure prior to Closing.

This  Amendment  may be  executed in any number of  counterparts,  each of which
shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose  signature  appears
thereon, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Amendment  shall become binding when one or more  counterparts
hereof,  individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the
parties reflected hereon as the signatories.  This Amendment may be executed and
delivered  by fax  (telecopier);  any  original  signatures  that are  initially

the terms of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

party to this  Amendment and  telecopied to the other party to this Amendment or
its counsel (i) shall have the same effect as an original signed  counterpart of

proceedings, of such party's execution of this Amendment.

Fourth Amendment as of the date first above stated.

                                   WITNESSETH:

      Whereas  Purchaser  and Seller are parties to a certain  Purchase and Sale
Contract  (the  "Purchase  Contract")  made  and  dated  as of the  _____day  of
December, 2000; and

      Whereas,  the Purchase  Contract requires that Purchaser provide a deposit
in the amount of Fifty  Thousand and No/100  Dollars  ($50,000.00)  in cash (the
"Initial  Deposit"),  to be held  pursuant  to an escrow  agreement  approved by
Purchaser and Seller; and

      Whereas,  the  Purchase  Contract  requires  that on or  before  5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the date of  expiration  of the  Feasibility  Period,  Purchaser
shall provide an additional  deposit in the amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($240,000.00) in cash (the "Additional Deposit"),  to be held
pursuant to an escrow agreement approved by Purchaser and Seller

      Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:

1. Establishment of Escrow.  Escrow Agent hereby  acknowledges  receipt of Fifty
Thousand  and No/100  Dollars  ($50,000.00)  in cash  (constituting  the Initial
Deposit),  to be  deposited,  held,  invested,  and disbursed for the benefit of
Seller and Purchaser and their  respective  successors and assigns,  as provided
herein and as provided in the Purchase Contract.

2. Investment of Escrow Fund. All funds received by Escrow Agent,  including the
Initial  Deposit  and,  to the  extent  paid,  the  Additional  Deposit  and the
Extension  Deposit,  (as defined in the Purchase  Contract)  (collectively,  the
"Escrow  Fund"),  shall  be  held  in  insured  accounts  and  invested  in such
short-term,  high-grade  securities,  money market  funds or accounts,  interest
-bearing  bank  accounts,  bank  certificates  of  deposit  or  bank  repurchase
agreements as Escrow Agent,  in its  discretion,  deems suitable  (provided that
Escrow  Agent  shall  invest the Escrow  Fund as jointly  directed by Seller and
Purchaser  should Seller and Purchaser each in their  respective sole discretion
determine to issue such joint  investment  instructions to the Escrow Agent) and
all interest and income  thereon  shall become part of the Escrow Fund and shall
be remitted to the party entitled to the Escrow Fund, as set forth below.

3.  Application  of Escrow  Fund.  Escrow  Agent  shall hold the Escrow  Fund as
provided  above and (a) if the sale of the  Property is closed by the date fixed
therefor (or any extension  date provided for by mutual  written  consent of the
parties hereto,  given or withheld in their respective sole discretion),  Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Escrow Fund to Seller in immediately  available funds by
wire transfer in accordance with the  instructions of Seller on the Closing Date
as set forth in the  Purchase  Contract,  (b) if the sale of the Property is not
closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension  date) owing to failure
of satisfaction of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations,  the Escrow
Agent shall return and refund the Escrow Fund to  Purchaser,  (c) if the sale of
the  Property is not closed by the date fixed  therefor  (or any such  extension
date) owing to failure of performance by Seller,  Purchaser shall give Notice to
the Escrow Agent and Seller and in such Notice shall state  whether it elects as
its remedy  return of the Escrow Fund or specific  performance  of the  Purchase
Contract;  if Purchaser  elects  return of the Escrow  Fund,  Escrow Agent shall
return and refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser,  (d) if the sale of the Property
is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such  extension  date) owing to
failure of performance  by Purchaser,  Escrow Agent shall  forthwith  deliver to
Seller  the Escrow  Fund in  immediately  available  funds by wire  transfer  in
accordance  with the  instructions  of Seller,  and (e) if Purchaser  shall have
canceled the Purchase  Contract on or before the  expiration of the  Feasibility
Period (as defined in the Purchase Contract),  the Escrow Agent shall return and
refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser.

      If on or prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement,  a party claims
to be entitled to payment of the Escrow Fund under the  provisions  referred to,
such party  shall give  Notice to the  Escrow  Agent and the other  party of the
claim in writing,  describing  in such  Notice the nature of the claim,  and the
provisions  of the  Purchase  Contract  on which the claim is based.  Unless the
other party sends the Escrow Agent a written objection to the claim, with a copy
concurrently to the claiming  party,  within ten (10) days after delivery of the
Notice of claim, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been approved.
In such case, or in the event of mutual written  consent of the parties  hereto,
given or withheld in their  respective  sole  discretion,  Escrow  Agent  shall,
within  two  (2)  business   days   thereafter,   pay  the  claim  as  demanded.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Escrow Agent shall  deliver the Escrow Fund to
Seller forthwith upon Closing in accordance with the terms of subpart (a) of the
immediately preceding paragraph.

      When all monies  held by Escrow  Agent have been  finally  distributed  in
accordance herewith, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate. 4. Liability. Escrow
Agent will be obligated to perform only the duties that are  expressly set forth
herein.  In case of conflicting  demands upon Escrow Agent, it may (i) refuse to
comply therewith as long as such disagreement  continues and make no delivery or
other disposition of any funds or property then held (and Escrow Agent shall not
be or become  liable in any way for such  failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting or adverse claims or demands, except for its failure to exercise due
care,  willful breach and willful  misconduct);  and (ii) continue to so refrain
and so refuse to act until all differences  have been adjusted by agreement and,
Escrow Agent has been notified  thereof in writing  signed jointly by Seller and
Purchaser or (iii) to interplead the portion of Escrow Fund in dispute.

5. No  Obligation  to Take Legal  Action.  Escrow  Agent  shall not be under any
obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Escrow  Agreement or
for its enforcement,  or to appear in, prosecute,  or defend any action or legal
proceeding  which,  in its  opinion,  would or might  involve  it in any  costs,
expense,  loss,  or  liability,  unless  and as often as  required  by it, it is
furnished  with  satisfactory  security  and  indemnity  against all such costs,
expenses, losses, or liabilities.

6. Status of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent is to be  considered  and regarded as a

(as defined in the Contract);

      WHEREAS,  the parties  hereto  desire to amend and modify the  Contract in
certain respects, all as more particularly set forth below.

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  for and in  consideration of Ten Dollars in hand paid by
the  parties  one to the other and other good and  valuable  consideration,  the

1. All capitalized  terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the
meaning given such terms in the Contract.

2.  Purchaser and Seller hereby  acknowledge  that the Contract was  effectively
terminated as of September 18, 2000 by that certain  letter dated  September 18,
2000 from Melissa A.  Schnell,  Purchaser's  counsel,  to Shelter  Properties VI

3.                     The Contract is hereby modified as follows:

a. The following language is hereby deleted from Paragraph 9.1 of the Contract:

            Dollars  ($14,150,000.00),  which  shall  be paid by  Purchaser,  as
            follows:"

b.  The  following  language  is  hereby  deleted  from  Paragraph  7.1.1 of the
Contract:

                  "The  Closing  shall occur no later than thirty (30)  calendar
            days after the  expiration  of the  Feasibility  Period,  through an
            escrow with Escrow  Agent,  whereby the Seller,  Purchaser and their
            attorneys  need not be  physically  present at the  Closing  and may
            deliver   documents  by  overnight   air  courier  or  other  means.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Purchaser shall have the right to
            close  prior  to  the  originally  scheduled  Closing  Date  on  the
            condition  that  Purchaser pay Seller's  additional  interest  costs
            incurred in connection with prepaying Seller's first mortgage on the

            Purchaser  shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to
            thirty (30) calendar  days on the condition  that (i) on or before 5
            P.M.  Eastern  Time on the  fifth  (5th)  calendar  day prior to the
            originally scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow
            Agent  an  additional   non-refundable  deposit  in  the  amount  of
            $50,000.00 (the "Extension Deposit"), which deposit shall be applied
            toward the Purchase  Price,  (ii)  Purchaser  notifies  Seller on or
            before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time on the fifth (5th) calendar day prior to
            the originally  scheduled  Closing Date that Purchaser is exercising
            this extension option,  and (iii) Purchaser pay Seller's  additional
            interest costs incurred in connection with prepaying  Seller's first
            mortgage on the  Property  after the  originally  scheduled  Closing
            Date."

      And the following language inserted in lieu thereof:

                  "The  Closing  shall occur no later than  November  14,  2000,
            through an escrow with Escrow Agent,  whereby the Seller,  Purchaser
            and their  attorneys  need not be physically  present at the Closing
            and may deliver  documents by overnight  air courier or other means.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Purchaser shall have the right to
            close  prior  to  the  originally  scheduled  Closing  Date  on  the
            condition that  Purchaser pay Seller's  actual  additional  interest
            cost incurred in connection with prepaying Seller's first and second
            mortgages on the Property, not to exceed one month's interest, prior
            to the originally scheduled Closing Date only if Purchaser's failure
            to close on Seller's lender's designated date results in a situation
            where  Seller  owes its Lender  interest  for a period  between  the
            actual  Closing Date and the originally  schedule  Closing Date as a
            result of  accelerating  the Closing Date,  and (b) Purchaser  shall
            have the  right to extend  the  Closing  Date for up to thirty  (30)
            calendar days on the condition (i) on or before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time
            on the third (3rd)  calendar day prior to the  originally  scheduled
            Closing Date,  Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional
            non-refundable  deposit in the amount of $50,000.00  (the "Extension
            Deposit"), which deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price,
            (ii)  Purchaser  will  endeavor in good faith to notify Seller on or
            before  November 1, 2000 as to the time frame within which Purchaser
            intends to close the transaction, (iii) Purchaser notifies Seller on
            or before 5 P.M.  Eastern Time on the third (3rd) calendar day prior
            to  the  originally   scheduled   Closing  Date  that  Purchaser  is
            exercising  this extension  option,  and (iv) Purchaser pay Seller's
            actual   additional   interest  cost  incurred  in  connection  with
            prepaying  Seller's first and second mortgages on the Property,  not
            to exceed  one  month's  interest,  after the  originally  scheduled
            Closing  Date  only if  Purchaser's  failure  to close  on  Seller's
            lender's  designated  date results in a situation  where Seller owes
            its Lender  interest  for a period  after the  Closing  Date,  as so
            extended, as a result of such extension of Closing."

4. Seller hereby acknowledges receipt of Purchaser's  Objection Notice, by means
of those  certain  letters  from Melissa A.  Schnell,  Purchaser's  counsel,  to
Shelter  Properties  VI,  dated  September  15,  2000 and  September  18,  2000,
detailing Purchaser's objections to title for the Property. Purchaser and Seller
hereby agree that, within ten (10) days of the date hereof,  Seller will deliver
its Response Notice to Purchaser  detailing which title objections Seller elects
to cure

                                prior to Closing.

5. This Amendment may be executed in any number of  counterparts,  each of which
shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose  signature  appears
thereon, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Amendment  shall become binding when one or more  counterparts
hereof,  individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the
parties reflected hereon as the signatories.  This Amendment may be executed and
delivered  by fax  (telecopier);  any  original  signatures  that are  initially
delivered  by fax  shall be  physically  delivered  with  reasonable  promptness
thereafter.

6. Except as expressly set forth herein,  the Contract  remains  unmodified  and
unchanged and the parties  hereto  ratify and confirm the  Contract,  as amended
hereby.

of satisfaction of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations,  the Escrow
Agent shall return and refund the Escrow Fund to  Purchaser,  (c) if the sale of
the  Property is not closed by the date fixed  therefor  (or any such  extension
date) owing to failure of performance by Seller,  Purchaser shall give Notice to
the Escrow Agent and Seller and in such Notice shall state  whether it elects as
its remedy  return of the Escrow Fund or specific  performance  of the  Purchase
Contract;  if Purchaser  elects  return of the Escrow  Fund,  Escrow Agent shall
return and refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser,  (d) if the sale of the Property
is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such  extension  date) owing to
failure of performance  by Purchaser,  Escrow Agent shall  forthwith  deliver to

accordance  with the  instructions  of Seller,  and (e) if Purchaser  shall have
canceled the Purchase  Contract on or before the  expiration of the  Feasibility
Period (as defined in the Purchase Contract),  the Escrow Agent shall return and
refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser.

      If on or prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement,  a party claims

such party  shall give  Notice to the  Escrow  Agent and the other  party of the
claim in writing,  describing  in such  Notice the nature of the claim,  and the

other party sends the Escrow Agent a written objection to the claim, with a copy
concurrently to the claiming  party,  within ten (10) days after delivery of the
Notice of claim, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been approved.
In such case, or in the event of mutual written  consent of the parties  hereto,
given or withheld in their  respective  sole  discretion,  Escrow  Agent  shall,
within  two  (2)  business   days   thereafter,   pay  the  claim  as  demanded.

refuse to comply  therewith as long as such  disagreement  continues and make no
delivery or other  disposition  of any funds or  property  then held (and Escrow
Agent  shall not be or become  liable in any way for such  failure or refusal to
comply  with such  conflicting  or  adverse  claims or  demands,  except for its
failure to exercise due care, willful breach and willful  misconduct);  and (ii)
