                                   ARTICLE 3

                            PURCHASE PRICE & DEPOSIT

3.1 The total  purchase price  ("Purchase  Price") for the Property shall be One
Million Nine Hundred  Ninety-One  Thousand and No/100  Dollars  ($1,991,000.00),
which  shall  be paid by  Purchaser,  as  follows:

3.1.1 On the date hereof,  Purchaser  shall deliver to Fidelity  National  Title
Insurance  Company  ("Escrow Agent" or the "Title Insurer") a deposit in the sum
of Twenty-Five  Thousand and No/100  Dollars  ($25,000.00),  in cash,  (such sum
being hereinafter  referred to and held as the "Deposit").  Purchaser and Seller
each  approve  the form of Escrow  Agreement  attached as Exhibit B.

3.1.2 On or before 5:00 p.m.  Central  time on the first  business day after the
date of expiration of the Feasibility Period (defined below), provided Purchaser
has not  terminated  this  Purchase  Contract  pursuant  to  Section  5.2 below,

3.1.4 If the sale of the  Property is closed by the date fixed  therefor (or any
extension date provided for by the mutual written consent of the parties hereto,
given or  withheld  in their  respective  sole  discretion),  monies held as the
Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price on the
Closing  Date.  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 Deposit and the Additional
Deposit  shall be returned and refunded to  Purchaser,  and neither  party shall
have any  further  liability  hereunder,  subject to and except for  Purchaser's

shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in ARTICLE 12 hereof. 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,  the  Deposit  and the
Additional  Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and the sum thereof shall go
to Seller  forthwith as liquidated  damages for the lost  opportunity  costs and
transaction  expenses  incurred by Seller, as more fully set forth in ARTICLE 12
below.

                                   FINANCING

4.1   Purchaser's  acquisition of the funds required for settlement  shall not
be a contingency to the Closing.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                               FEASIBILITY PERIOD

5.1 Subject to the terms of Section 5.3 below, for forty-five (45) calendar days
following  the  Effective  Date,  but in no event  later than May 29,  2000 (the
"Feasibility  Period"),  Purchaser,  and  its  agents,  contractors,  engineers,
surveyors,  attorneys,  and employees  ("Consultants") shall have the right from
time to time to enter onto the Property:

5.1.1 To conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations and
inspections,  or  investigations  of or concerning  the Property that  Purchaser
deems  necessary or advisable  (including  without  limitation,  engineering and
feasibility  studies,  evaluation  of drainage and flood  plain,  soil tests for
bearing capacity and percolation and surveys, including topographical surveys).

5.1.2 To confirm any and all matters which  Purchaser may  reasonably  desire to
confirm  with  respect to the  Property.

5.1.3 To ascertain and confirm the  suitability of the property for  Purchaser's
intended use of the Property.

5.1.4 To review all  Materials  (as  hereinafter  defined)  other than  Seller's
proprietary  information.

5.2  Should the  results of any of the  matters  referred  to in  sub-paragraphs
5.1.1,  5.1.2, 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 above appear  unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any
or no reason,  then  Purchaser  shall have the right to terminate  this Purchase
Contract by giving  written  Notice (which Notice may be delivered via facsimile
transmission)  to that effect to Seller and Escrow  Agent on or before 5:00 p.m.
Central time 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 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  shall have no further right
to terminate this Purchase Contract under this Section 5.2.

5.3 Purchaser  shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any actions taken by
Purchaser and its Consultants on the Property. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend
(with  attorneys  selected by Seller) and hold Seller  harmless from any and all
claims,  damages,  costs and  liability  which  may  arise due to such  entries,
surveys,  tests,  investigations  and the like.  Seller  shall  have the  right,
without  limitation,   to  disapprove  any  and  all  entries,  surveys,  tests,
investigations  and the like that in their  reasonable  judgment could result in
any injury to the Property or breach of any  agreement,  or expose Seller to any
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
insurance with broad form contractual and personal injury liability endorsements
with respect to the Property and Purchaser's  activities carried on therein,  in
amounts (including deductible amounts) and with such insurance carriers as shall
be approved  by Seller and naming  Seller and its  affiliates  as loss payees or
additional insureds (at the option of Seller),  with endorsements  acceptable to
Seller,  including a waiver of  defenses of the insurer  based on the actions or
inaction of Purchaser (which  insurance must be reasonably  approved by Seller).
Such liability  insurance shall provide coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00
for injury or death to 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.

5.4  Purchaser  shall not permit any  mechanic's or  materialman's  liens or any
other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the  performance  of any work
or the purchase of any  materials by Purchaser or any other party in  connection
with any studies or tests  conducted by or for Purchaser.  Purchaser  shall give
notice to Seller a  reasonable  time  prior to entry  onto the  Property,  shall
deliver proof of insurance  coverage  required  above to Seller and shall permit
Seller  to  have  a  representative   present  during  all   investigations  and
inspections  conducted  with respect to the Property.  Purchaser  shall take all
reasonable  actions and implement all  protections  necessary to ensure that all
actions taken in  connection  with the  investigations  and  inspections  of the
Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought
onto the  Property  pose no  material  threat to the  safety of  persons  or the
environment  and cause no damage to the Property or other  property of Seller or
other  persons.  All  information  made  available  by  Seller to  Purchaser  in
accordance with this Purchase Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of
its  investigations  shall be treated as confidential  information by Purchaser,
and,  prior to the purchase of the Property by  Purchaser,  Purchaser  shall use
diligent 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  investors and lenders and  engineers.  5.5 Seller
shall deliver to Purchaser as soon as possible following the Effective Date, but
in no event later than ten (10) calendar days from the Effective Date, copies of
all leases,  contracts,  engineering  studies,  surveys and other materials (the
"Materials") in Seller's  possession or control  relating to the Property (other
than  proprietary  information  of Seller).  If the sale of the  Property is not
closed by the date fixed  therefor,  Purchaser  shall,  within five (5) calendar
days, return all such Materials to Seller.

                                   ARTICLE 6

                                     TITLE

6.1 Purchaser  shall promptly  secure a commitment  for title  insurance for the
Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price ("Title Commitment") issued by
Fidelity National Title Insurance Company ("Title Insurer") for an owner's title
insurance policy on the most recent standard form promulgated by the Texas State
Board of Insurance,  together with legible copies of all instruments  identified
as  exceptions  therein and shall cause a copy thereof to be delivered to Seller
during the Feasibility Period. Seller agrees that it shall be solely responsible
for payment of all costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment and any
Owner title policy.  On or before the fifteenth (15th) day after delivery of the
Title  Commitment  to  Purchaser,  Purchaser  shall  give  written  notice  (the
"Objection Notice") to the attorneys for Seller of any conditions of title which
Purchaser  is not  obligated  to take the  Property  subject to  pursuant to the
provisions of this Purchase Contract (the  "Objections")  separately  specifying
and  setting  forth  each  of such  Objections.  Seller  shall  be  entitled  to
reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the Objections. If Purchaser
gives Seller an  Objection  Notice  within the period set forth above,  then all
matters  disclosed  on the Title  Commitment  which are not  objected to in such
Objection Notice shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.  If Purchaser fails
to give Seller an Objection  Notice within the period set forth above,  then all
matters  disclosed  on the Title  Commitment  shall be  deemed  to be  Permitted
Exceptions. If Seller gives Purchaser notice (the "Response Notice") that Seller
is unable or  unwilling  to convey  title to the  Property  as  required by this
Purchase  Contract,  Purchaser  may, as its exclusive  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 shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser
fails to give notice of its election to terminate this Purchase  Contract 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.

6.2 Purchaser  agrees to accept title to the Land and  Improvements,  so long as
the same is insurable at ordinary rates and any  conveyance by special  warranty
deed pursuant to this Purchase  Contract shall be subject to the following,  all
of which shall be deemed  "Permitted  Exceptions" and Purchaser agrees to accept
the deed and title subject thereto:

6.2.1 All  exceptions  shown in the Title  Commitment  and approved by Purchaser
(other than mechanics'  liens and taxes due and payable in respect of the period
preceding  Closing) and all exceptions  noted in Exhibit 6.2.1 attached  hereto;
and

6.2.2 Such  exceptions  and matters as approved  by  Purchaser  and as the Title
Company  shall be  willing  to omit as  exceptions  to  coverage;  and

6.2.3 All Commercial Leases and any other occupancy,  residency,  lease, tenancy
and similar  agreements  entered  into in the ordinary  course of business;  and

6.2.4 All Property  Contracts and any other  existing  contracts  created in the
ordinary course of business by Seller,  which are not identified for termination
by Purchaser during the Feasibility  Period;  and

6.2.5 Real estate and  property  taxes for the  calendar  year in which  closing
occurs to the extent not due and payable;

6.2.6  Intentionally  deleted;  and

6.2.7  All  matters  of  public  record  as of the  effective  time of the Title
Commitment  (as approved by  Purchaser).

6.3 The  existence  of other  mortgages,  liens,  or  encumbrances  shall not be
objections to title,  provided that properly executed  instruments in recordable
form  necessary  to satisfy and remove the same of record are  delivered  to the
Purchaser  at Closing or, in the  alternative,  with  respect to any mortgage or
deed of trust liens, that payoff letters from the holder of the mortgage or deed
of trust liens shall have been  delivered to and  accepted by the Title  Insurer
(sufficient  to remove the same from the policy issued at Closing),  together in
either case,  with  recording  and/or  filing fees.

6.4 Unpaid liens for taxes,  charges, and assessments shall not be objections to
title,  but the amount  thereof plus  interest and  penalties  thereon  shall be
deducted  from the  Purchase  Price to be paid for the  Property  hereunder  and
allowed to Purchaser,  subject to the provisions for  apportionment of taxes and
charges  contained  in  ARTICLE 7  herein.

6.5 Unpaid  franchise or business  corporation  taxes of any corporations in the
chain of title  shall  not be an  objection  to title,  provided  that the Title
Insurer  agrees to insure  against  collection  out of the property or otherwise
against Purchaser or its affiliates, and provided further that the Title Insurer
agrees to omit such taxes as exceptions to coverage with respect to any lender's
mortgagee  insurance  policy.

6.6 If on the Closing Date there shall be  conditional  bills of sale or Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on a day more than five (5)
years  prior  to such  Closing,  and  such  financing  statements  have not been
extended by the filing of UCC-3 continuation statements within the past five (5)
years prior to such Closing,  such financing  statements  shall not be deemed an
objection to title.

6.7 If on the Closing Date, the state of title is other than in accordance  with
the requirements  set forth in this Purchase  Contract or if any condition to be
fulfilled by Seller shall not be satisfied,  Purchaser shall provide Seller with
written  Notice  thereof at such time,  or such title  objection or  unfulfilled
condition shall be deemed waived by Purchaser in which case Purchaser and Seller
shall proceed to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date. If Purchaser timely
gives Seller such Notice, Seller at its sole option and upon Notice to Purchaser
within three (3)  Business  Days  following  receipt of such Notice may elect to
cure such  objection or  unfulfilled  condition  for up to thirty (30)  calendar
days. Should Seller be able to cure such title objection or condition, or should
Seller be able to cause title insurance over the same by the Closing Date or any
postponed  Closing Date, or should  Purchaser  waive such objection or condition
within such period for cure,  then the Closing shall take place on or before ten
(10) calendar  days after Notice of such cure or waiver.

6.8 If Seller does not elect to cure such objection or unfulfilled  condition or
during the period of cure Seller is unable or unwilling,  in its sole discretion
or opinion,  to eliminate such title  objection or cause Title Insurer to insure
over such  matter or  satisfy  such  unfulfilled  condition,  Seller  shall give
Purchaser written Notice thereof, and if Purchaser does not waive such objection
by written  Notice  delivered to Seller and the title company  issuing the Title
Commitment on or before three (3) Business Days  following the date Seller gives
such Notice, then this Purchase Contract shall automatically terminate, in which
event  Purchaser  shall  release  and  quitclaim  all of  Purchaser's  right and
interest  in such  Property  to Seller,  and the  parties  hereto  shall have no
further obligations to each other, except for Purchaser's  obligations  pursuant
to Section 5.3 above, and the Deposit and the Additional  Deposit (if then paid)
shall be immediately  returned to Purchaser.

6.9 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 Commercial Leases and Property Contracts in the
ordinary course of business); any such monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching
by  voluntary  act of Seller  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.

6.10  Anything to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  Purchaser  shall not have any
right to terminate  this Purchase  Contract or object to any lien,  encumbrance,
exception or other matter that is a Permitted Exception, that has been waived or
deemed to have been  waived  by  Purchaser.

6.11 Intentionally Omitted.

6.12 Purchaser at Purchaser's sole cost and expense,  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 special  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  description  by which Seller took title to the
Property  shall be used in the special  warranty deed  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").


6.12.1  Should  such  Survey  disclose  conditions  that  give  rise  to a title
exception  other than a Permitted  Exception,  Purchaser shall have the right to
object thereto within the  Feasibility  Period in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this ARTICLE 6 above.

6.12.2  Purchaser  agrees  to make  payment  in full of all  costs of  obtaining
Surveys  required by this Purchase  Contract on or before Closing or termination
of this Purchase Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 7

                                    CLOSING

7.1 Dates,  Places Of Closing,  Prorations,  Delinquent  Rent and Closing Costs.

7.1.1 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.

7.1.2 The Closing Date may be extended  without  penalty at the option of Seller
to a date not later than thirty (30) 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.

7.1.3  All  normal  and  customarily   proratable  items,   including,   without
limitation,  collected Rents (as defined below),  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  prior 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  obligation  to  pay  any  accrued  but  unpaid  tenant
improvement  allowances and leasing commissions under Commercial Leases executed
after the Effective  Date and approved by Purchaser,  together with any payments
due parties under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, provided that any
payments under the Property Contracts, any tenant improvement allowances and any
leasing commissions have been prorated.  Any such tenant improvement  allowances
and leasing  commissions  shall be prorated based on the terms of the applicable
Commercial Leases. 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 proration shall be final and unadjustable except as
provided in the  following  paragraph.  For purposes of this  Section  7.1.3 and
Sections  7.1.4 and 7.1.5 the terms "Rent" and "Rents"  shall  include,  without
limitation,  base  rents,  additional  rents,  percentage  rents and common area
maintenance charges. The provisions of this Section 7.1.3 shall apply during the
Proration  Period  (as  defined  below).

7.1.4 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  (e.g.,  the assessed value of the Property or the tax rate),  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.

7.1.5 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  or 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.

7.1.6  Purchaser  shall pay the cost of all transfer  taxes (e.g.,  excise stamp
taxes) and  recording  costs with respect to the Closing.  Seller and  Purchaser
shall share equally in the costs of the Escrow Agent for escrow fees.  Except as
set forth in Section 16.16 hereof, each party shall pay its attorneys' fees.

7.2   Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing.

7.2.1  Seller.  At  Closing,  Seller  shall  deliver to  Purchaser,  each of the
following  items:

7.2.1.1  Special  Warranty  Deed in the form  attached  as  Exhibit  7.2.1.1  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.

7.2.1.2 A Bill of Sale in the form  attached  as Exhibit  7.2.1.2  covering  all
Property Contracts, Commercial 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.

7.2.1.3 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.

7.2.1.4     A closing statement executed by Seller.

7.2.1.5 A vendor's 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

7.2.1.6 A certification of Seller's  non-foreign status pursuant to Section 1445
of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

7.2.1.7 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.

7.2.1.8 To the extent in Seller's possession or control,  original copies of the
Commercial  Leases and  Property  Contracts,  lease  files  (including,  without
limitation,  all  correspondence  to and  from  Tenants,  if  any),  keys to the
property,  Seller's  books and  records  (other  than  proprietary  information)
regarding  the  Property  (including,   without  limitation,  a  detail  of  the
calculation  and  billing of  operating  expenses  and  pass-throughs  under all
Commercial Leases, if such detail has been prepared), and original copies of the
tenant estoppels.

7.2.1.9 A rent  roll for the  Property  certified  by  Seller,  but  limited  to
Seller's current actual knowledge,  and dated not earlier than five (5) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date.

7.2.2 Purchaser.  At Closing,  Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company (for
disbursement to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with respect to the
Property  being  conveyed at such Closing:

7.2.2.1  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.  The
existence of any such liens or  encumbrances  shall not be deemed  objections to
title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements.

7.2.2.2     A closing statement executed by Purchaser.

7.2.2.3     A  countersigned  counterpart  of the  Bill of  Sale  in the  form

delivered by Purchaser to Seller in accordance with any of the other  provisions
of this Purchase Contract.

INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OR VERIFICATION OF SUCH INFORMATION;  AND (y) DOES NOT
MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH INFORMATION.
THE PARTIES  FURTHER  ACKNOWLEDGE  AND AGREE THAT THE  PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD TO
PURCHASER  IN ITS  PRESENT  "AS IS,  WHERE IS"  CONDITION  "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND
PURCHASER  EXPRESSLY  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT, IN  CONSIDERATION OF THE AGREEMENTS OF
SELLER HEREIN, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION,  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF  CONDITION,  HABITABILITY,  MERCHANTABILITY,

SUBJECT TO THE TERMS HEREOF,  PURCHASER WILL BE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
ANY AND ALL  INSPECTIONS  OF THE PROPERTY AND SUCH RELATED  MATTERS AS PURCHASER
MAY REASONABLY  DESIRE AND,  ACCORDINGLY,  PURCHASER WILL RELY SOLELY ON ITS OWN
DUE DILIGENCE AND INVESTIGATIONS IN PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.

8.1.3 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. Except for the special warranty deed pursuant to which
Purchaser  shall take title of the Property,  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 Commercial 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,
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
8.1.4  below.

8.1.4 Seller and Purchaser agree that those representations contained in Section
8.1 shall survive  Closing for a period of one (1) year (that is, any proceeding
based on the breach of a  representation  contained in Section 8.1 that survives
Closing must be  commenced  within one (1) year  subsequent  to the date of such
representation).  In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained
in Section  8.1 and  Purchaser  had actual  knowledge  of such  breach  prior to
closing,  Purchaser  shall be deemed to have  waived any right of  recovery  and
Seller  shall  not  have  any   liability   in   connection   therewith.

8.1.5 Representations and warranties above made to the knowledge of Seller shall
not be  deemed to imply  any duty of  inquiry.  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 Ms. Lisa Carter,  SSR/Metric Property Management,
(830) 833-2682, Facsimile No. (830) 833-2683.

8.2  Representations  And  Warranties  Of  Purchaser

properties  and to transact  the  business in which he is engaged,  and has full
power and authority to enter into this Purchase Contract, to execute and deliver
the documents and instruments  required of Purchaser herein,  and to perform his
obligations  hereunder.

8.2.2.3 No pending or, to the  knowledge  of  Purchaser,  threatened  litigation
exists which if determined  adversely  would  restrain the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated by this Purchase  Contract or would declare  illegal,
invalid or non-binding  any of  Purchaser's  obligations or covenants to Seller.

8.2.2.4  Purchaser  is duly  authorized  to execute and deliver and perform this
Purchase   Contract  and  all  documents  and   instruments   and   transactions
contemplated  hereby or  incidental  hereto,  and such  execution,  delivery and
performance  by  Purchaser  does  not (i)  violate  any  provision  of any  law,
governmental rule or regulation  currently in effect, (ii) violate any judgment,
decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect that
names or is  specifically  directed  at  Purchaser  or its  property,  and (iii)
require the consent,  approval, order or authorization of, or any filing with or
notice to, any court or other governmental authority.

8.2.2.5 The joinder of no person or entity other than  Purchaser is necessary to
consummate the  transactions  to be performed by Purchaser and Purchaser has all
necessary  right  and  authority  to  perform  such  acts  as are  required  and
contemplated  by  this  Purchase  Contract.

8.2.3 Other than Foster & Rudd ("Purchaser's  Broker"),  Purchaser has not dealt
with any broker,  finder or any other person, in connection with the purchase of
or the  negotiation  of the purchase of the Property that might give rise to any
claim for  commission  against  Seller or lien or claim  against  the  Property.

                                   ARTICLE 9

                         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

9.1  Purchaser's  obligation  to close under this  Purchase  Contract,  shall be
subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following
conditions precedent:

9.1.1 All of the  documents  required to be  delivered by Seller to Purchaser at
the  Closing  pursuant  to the  terms  and  conditions  hereof  shall  have been
delivered  and  shall  be in  form  and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to
Purchaser;

9.1.2 Each of the  representations  and  warranties of Seller  contained  herein
shall be true in all  material  respects as of the Closing  Date;

fulfilled or performed by Seller hereunder;

9.1.4 There shall not be pending,  or to the  knowledge  of either  Purchaser or

9.1.5 Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser,  at least ten (10) days prior to

in the form  required by the  Tenants'  lease  agreements  ("SNDAs"),  dated and
executed  not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date by Tenants
in the  aggregate  occupying at least eighty  percent  (80%) of the Property and
whose leases require that they deliver such SNDAs; provided,  however, that such
SNDAs  delivered to Purchaser  shall include SNDAs from Holy Land Foundation and

9.2.3 There shall not be pending or, to the  knowledge  of either  Purchaser  or
Seller, any litigation or threatened  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.

9.2.4  If  applicable,   Purchaser  shall  have  produced  evidence   reasonably

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                   BROKERAGE

10.1 Seller  represents  and warrants to  Purchaser  that it has dealt only with
Pinnacle Realty Management Company,  7316 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 300, Bethesda,
Maryland  20814-2925  ("Seller's  Broker")  in  connection  with  this  Purchase
Contract.  Seller and Purchaser  each  represents and warrants to the other that
other than Seller's  Broker or Purchaser's  Broker,  as  applicable,  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
agrees to  indemnify  the other party from and against all claims for  brokerage
commissions  and  finder's  fees  arising  from or  attributable  to the acts or
omissions of the indemnifying party.

10.2 Seller agrees to pay Seller's Broker a commission according to the terms of
a separate agreement and Purchaser agrees to pay Purchaser's Broker a commission
according  to the terms of a separate  agreement.  Neither  Seller's  Broker nor
Purchaser's  Broker shall be deemed a party or third party  beneficiary  of this
Purchase Contract.

10.3 Broker  assumes no  responsibility  for the  condition  of the  Property or
representation  for the  performance of this Purchase  Contract by the Seller or
Purchaser.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                                   POSSESSION

11.1 Possession of the Property,  subject to the Permitted Exceptions,  shall be
delivered to Purchaser at the Closing.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1 In the event (a) Purchaser  terminates this Purchase Contract following the
Feasibility  Period  for any  reason  other  than  Seller's  default  under this
Purchase  Contract or as otherwise  permitted  under  Articles 13 and 15, or (b)
Purchaser 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 as aforesaid  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 and
the Additional  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.

12.2 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 either to elect to
terminate this Purchase  Contract and receive  reimbursement  of the Deposit and
the Additional Deposit (or so much thereof as has been received by Escrow Agent)
or to seek specific performance of this Purchase Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

13.1 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 $200,000.00, 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.

13.2 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 $200,000.00,
this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
notwithstanding  the damage or  destruction;  provided,  however,  Seller  shall
restore the Property to its condition prior to the casualty, making 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.

13.3  Seller  shall  maintain  casualty  insurance  in the  amounts and in forms
currently maintained by Seller at the execution of this Purchase Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 14

                                  RATIFICATION

14.1 This  Purchase  Contract  shall be null and void unless  fully  executed by
Purchaser and Seller on or before April 3, 2000.

                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

15.1 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,  either 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  and the  Additional  Deposit (if then paid)
hereunder,  or to close in accordance  with the terms of this Purchase  Contract
for the full  Purchase  Price and receive the full  benefit or any  condemnation
award, which Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing. It is expressly agreed
between  the  parties  hereto  that  this  paragraph  shall  in no way  apply to
customary  dedications  for  public  purposes  which  may be  necessary  for the
development of the Property.

                                   ARTICLE 16

remain in full  force and  effect  and shall  not be  affected  by the  illegal,

and shall be in  addition  to every  other  remedy  given  under  this  Purchase
Contract.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any

power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power

waiver,  amendment,  release, or modification of this Purchase Contract shall be
established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing.

      At Seller's  sole cost and expense,  Seller may  structure the sale of the
Property to  Purchaser  as a Like Kind  Exchange  under  Internal  Revenue  Code
Section  1031  whereby  Seller will  acquire  certain  property  (the "Like Kind
Exchange Property") in conjunction with the sale of the Property (the "Like Kind
Exchange").  Purchaser shall cooperate fully and promptly with Seller's  conduct
of the Like Kind  Exchange,  provided  that all costs and expenses  generated in
connection  with the Like Kind  Exchange  shall be borne  solely by Seller,  and
Purchaser shall not be required to take title to or contract for the purchase of
any other property or to incur any additional  obligations not set forth in this
Purchase  Contract.  If Seller uses a qualified  intermediary  to effectuate the
exchange,  any assignment of the rights or obligations of Seller hereunder 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.

16.19 No Personal  Liability  of  Officers,  Trustees or directors of Seller's
Partners

      Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is entered into by Seller which
is a California  limited  partnership,  and Purchaser  agrees that no individual
officer,  trustee,  director or  representative  of the partners of Seller shall
have any personal  liability  under this  Agreement or any document  executed in
connection  with  the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement.

16.20 No Exclusive Negotiations

      Seller shall have the right,  at all times prior to the  expiration of the
Feasibility  Period,  to  solicit  backup  offers  and enter  into  discussions,
negotiations,  or any other communications  concerning or related to the sale of
the Property with any third-party;  provided,  however, that such communications
are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and that Seller shall not enter into
any  contract  or  binding  agreement  with a  third-party  for the  sale of the
Property  unless  such  agreement  is  contingent  on the  termination  of  this
Agreement without the Property having been conveyed to Purchaser.

16.21 DPTA Waiver

     IT IS THE INTENT OF SELLER AND PURCHASER  THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH
RESPECT TO THE  TRANSACTION  CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
LEGAL  PRINCIPLES  OTHER  THAN  THE  TEXAS  DECEPTIVE  TRADE  PRACTICES-CONSUMER
PROTECTION ACT.  ACCORDINGLY,  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT APPLICABLE AND PERMITTED BY
LAW (AND WITHOUT  ADMITTING  SUCH  APPLICABILITY),  PURCHASER  HEREBY WAIVES THE
PROVISIONS  OF THE TEXAS  DECEPTIVE  TRADE  PRACTICES-CONSUMER  PROTECTION  ACT,
CHAPTER 17, SUBCHAPTER 3 (OTHER THAN SECTION 17.555, WHICH IS NOT WAIVED), TEXAS
BUSINESS  AND  COMMERCE  CODE,  A LAW THAT GIVES  CONSUMERS  SPECIAL  RIGHTS AND
PROTECTIONS. FOR PURPOSES OF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,  PURCHASER
HEREBY  WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS UNTO SELLER THAT (A) PURCHASER HAS KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERIENCE  IN  FINANCIAL  AND  BUSINESS  MATTERS THAT ENABLE IT TO EVALUATE THE
MERITS  AND RISKS OF THE  TRANSACTION  CONTEMPLATED  UNDER THIS  AGREEMENT,  (B)
PURCHASER IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY  DISPARATE  BARGAINING  POSITION WITH SELLER
REGARDING THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,  (C) PURCHASER IS
REPRESENTED  BY LEGAL  COUNSEL  THAT IS SEPARATE AND  INDEPENDENT  OF SELLER AND
SELLER'S  LEGAL COUNSEL AND (D) PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH  PURCHASER'S  LEGAL
COUNSEL  REGARDING  THIS  AGREEMENT  PRIOR  TO  PURCHASER'S  EXECUTION  OF  THIS
AGREEMENT AND VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER.

16.22 Texas Real Estate  License Act The Texas Real Estate  License Act requires
written notice to Purchaser from any licensed real estate broker or salesman who
is to receive a commission from Purchaser that Purchaser should have an attorney
of its own selection examine an abstract of title to the property being acquired
or that Purchaser  should be furnished  with or should obtain a title  insurance
policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Purchaser on behalf
of the broker(s) identified in Section 10.1 of this Agreement, if any.

16.23 From and after the date this  Purchase  Contract is executed and delivered
by  Purchaser  and Seller,  Seller  agrees not to enter into any new  Commercial
Lease or modify or extend  any  existing  Commercial  Lease  (collectively,  the
"Proposed  Action(s)")  without the prior  written  consent of Purchaser  (which
consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld).  If during the Feasibility  Period
Purchaser unreasonably disapproves of any such Proposed Action (as determined by
Seller in its reasonable discretion),  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  and  Additional
Deposit (if then paid) shall be promptly 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 Proposed
Action (which was previously  disapproved),  and permit the Purchase Contract to
continue.  If notice of  approval of the  Proposed  Action 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.

A. Purchaser and Seller  executed that certain  Purchase and Sale Contract dated
   as of April 14, 2000 (as amended,  the "Contract"),  pursuant to which Seller
   agreed  to sell and  Purchaser  agreed to  purchase,  certain  real  property
   located in Dallas County, Texas, and commonly known as "Interrich Plaza."

D. Purchaser and Seller  desire to enter into this  Agreement for the purpose of

   and (ii) amending the Contract as more fully described below.

E.    Capitalized  terms not otherwise  defined herein shall have the meanings
   ascribed to them in the Contract.

ARTICLE  28  NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and
sufficiency  of which are hereby  acknowledged,  Seller and  Purchaser  agree as
follows:

1.    Reinstatement.  The Contract is hereby reinstated as if such Contract
had never been terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and
binding on the parties hereto, subject to the terms and conditions thereof
and hereof.

2.  Feasibility  Period.  Purchaser  hereby  agrees  and  acknowledges  that the
Feasibility  Period has expired and that, except for the closing  conditions set
forth in Section 9.1 of the Contract,  all of the  contingencies  to Purchaser's
closing on its  purchase of the Property  pursuant to the  Contract  (including,
without  limitation,  those relating to Purchaser's  review of title  documents)
have been satisfied or waived.

3.  Additional  Deposit.  At or before 5:00 p.m.  Central time on June 14, 2000,
Purchaser  shall  deliver to Escrow Agent the  Additional  Deposit in the sum of

and the Additional Deposit are  non-refundable  (other than for Seller's default

Purchaser also  acknowledges  and agrees that the requirement that Seller obtain
such SNDAs by Tenants in the aggregate  occupying at least eighty  percent (80%)
of the Property  and whose leases  require that they deliver such SNDAs shall be
calculated  based upon the balance of Tenants,  excepting  Decision One from the
aggregate  amount.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  all other terms of Section
9.1.5 shall remain in full force and effect.

7.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which when compiled together shall constitute one and the same original.
