                               CONTRACT OF SALE



            THIS CONTRACT OF SALE (this "Contract") is made and entered into by
and between Serramonte Plaza, a California limited partnership ("Seller"), and
Daly City Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company, or assignee
("Purchaser").


                                  ARTICLE I.
                             SALE OF THE PROPERTY

            1.1   Property.  For the consideration and upon and subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Contract, Seller agrees to sell to
Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, Seller's respective
rights, titles and interests in and to all of the following described property
(collectively, the "Property"):

                  (a)   Subject to Section 2.2 below, all of Seller's rights,
titles and interest in and to those certain parcels of land (the "Land") being
located in the City of Daly City, San Mateo County, California, and more
particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof for
all purposes, together with all improvements, structures and fixtures, if any,
located on the Land, including without limitation the building currently leased
to Mason McDuffie located on Parcel 3, the building currently leased to Bank of
the West located on Parcel 1, and the theater complex located on Parcel 2 (the
"Improvements"), and all rights, titles and interest of Seller appurtenant to
the Land and Improvements, including, without limitation, appurtenant easements,
adjacent roads, highways and rights-of-way, but excluding all portions of the
Serramonte Plaza Shopping Center (and rights, titles and interest of Seller
appurtenant thereto) not described on Exhibit A (all of which, with the
exception of such portions previously purchased by Daly City Partners, LLC,
shall be retained by Seller);

                  (b)   All tangible personal property of any kind (the
"Personalty") owned by Seller and attached to or located on or used exclusively
in connection with the Land or Improvements;

                  (c)   All of Seller's rights, titles and interests under any
leases or other agreements demising space in or providing for the use occupancy
of the Improvements or Land (the "Tenant Leases"), and, to the extent actually
received and held by Seller, all unapplied deposits, whether security or
otherwise ("Deposits"), paid by tenants (each, a "Tenant") holding under the
Tenant Leases; and

                  (d)   All of Seller's rights, titles and interest in and to
all service contracts, warranties, guaranties and bonds in effect at Closing
relating to the Land, the Improvements or the Personalty, to the extent the same
are assignable (the "Contracts").

                                 ARTICLE II.
                        PURCHASE PRICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

            2.1   Purchase Price.  The total Purchase Price (herein so called)
to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is Four Million Nine Hundred
Thirty Five Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Two Dollars ($4,935,162) payable in cash
or Current Funds (hereinafter defined) at the Closing (hereinafter defined).
The Purchase Price is based upon Land square footage (excluding Parcel 1) of
207,751 square feet and is subject to adjustment as set forth in Sections 2.2,
2.3 and 2.5 below.

                  Pursuant to that certain Easement Agreement dated as of
November 15, 1994 by and among Serramonte and certain other parties, which was
recorded in the Official Records of San Mateo County on September 5, 1995 and
pursuant to that certain Memorandum of Lease dated as of April 15, 1994 between
Serramonte and John Breuner Company, which was recorded in the Official Records
of San Mateo County on April 25, 1994, 28,880 square feet of the Land is
required to be used as ingress/egress drive aisles (the "Drive Aisle Area").
The Purchase Price has already been reduced by $635,360 (representing the
product of 28,880 square feet and $22.00 per square foot) for the Drive Aisle
Area.

            2.2   Parcel 11 Lot Split and Potential Purchase Price Adjustment.

                  (a)   Exhibit A indicates that only a portion of Parcel 11 is
subject to this Contract.  The parties acknowledge and agree that (i)
concurrently with Closing (as defined below), they intend to record a lot split
of Parcel 11 into two (2) legal parcels approximately as indicated on the
diagram attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) only the northeast portion of
Parcel 11 as shown on Exhibit B shall be subject to this Contract and conveyed
to Purchaser at Closing.  Such northeast portion of Parcel 11 indicated on
Exhibit B constitutes the "Subject Portion."  Purchaser shall be solely
responsible for the preparation of recordable instruments and for seeking any
required governmental approvals in connection with the lot split of Parcel 11
and Seller shall cooperate fully with Purchaser in such efforts; provided, that
the lot split shall not be effected unless and until the Closing occurs under
this Contract.  Purchaser agrees to keep Seller informed of all developments in
connection therewith.  The cost of obtaining the lot split, as well as the
reduction in parking requirements described below, shall be borne by Purchaser.
The parties acknowledge that the Subject Portion as configured on Exhibit B
includes a portion of Parcel 11 that is described in Exhibit D to, and subject
to, that certain Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated December 4, 1995 by and
between Purchaser and Serramonte Plaza, a California limited partnership,
recorded in the Official Records of San Mateo County, California on December 14,
1995 as Document No. 95135909 ("REA 2"), and contains approximately 57,681
square feet.

                  (b)   The Purchase Price includes a price of $22.00 per square
foot of the Subject Portion as configured on Exhibit B.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of subparagraph (a) above, to the extent that any of the land in the
Subject Portion as configured on Exhibit B is required to be encumbered by a
parking easement, the approximate location of which is depicted in Exhibit B-1,
in order to satisfy parking requirements imposed by any city or county authority
for the office building currently located on Parcel 11, the Purchase Price shall
be reduced according to the following formula:  the square footage of parking
spaces located in the Subject Portion that are necessary to satisfy parking
requirements imposed by any city or county authority for the office building
currently located on Parcel 11 shall be multiplied by $22.00 per square foot,
and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such amount. Seller and Purchaser
shall use their best efforts to reduce the parking requirements for the office
building currently located on Parcel 11; provided, that Seller shall not be
required to agree to any reduction in parking spaces which materially and
adversely impacts the value or use of the portion of Parcel 11 retained by
Seller and, in any event, the Subject Portion shall be encumbered, as of the
Closing Date, by a parking easement sufficient to provide a total of not less
than 185 parking spaces, including the new parking spaces that can be created by
Seller on the north side and the west side of the office building currently
located on Parcel 11, for the portion of Parcel 11 not sold to Purchaser.

                  (c)   Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that
in connection with the lot split of Parcel 11, the description of the Land
attached hereto as Exhibit A will be modified from the description initially set
forth in such Exhibit A in such a manner that the lot line will run
approximately along the edge of the south side of the building shown as the
proposed building on Exhibit B-1, with such final lot lines to be agreed upon
prior to the end of the Inspection Period, subject to the reasonable approval of
both Seller and Purchaser.  Upon completion of the survey set forth in Section
2.3, and upon the approval of the final Exhibit A as set forth in this Section,
this Contract shall be amended to substitute such new legal description as
Exhibit A hereof, and Purchaser and Seller agree to execute and deliver an
amendment to this Contract to such effect.

            2.3   Verification of Land Area and Potential Purchase Price
Adjustment.  Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain a current
survey of the Land and the Improvements.  The Purchase Price shall be adjusted
(according to a rate of $22.00 per square foot of Land) if the area of the Land
as set forth in said survey (excluding Parcel 1) is not equal to 207,751 square
feet (which includes 28,880 square feet for the Drive Aisle Area), and the
Purchase Price will be increased (according to a rate of $22.00 per square foot
of Land) if the area of the Drive Aisle Area, as set forth in said survey, is
less than 28,880 square feet.  The portion of the Purchase Price allocable to
Parcel 1 shall remain fixed at $1,000,000 notwithstanding the area of that
Parcel as set forth in said survey.

            2.4   Asbestos Remediation.  Purchaser shall within the Inspection
Period, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, obtain an asbestos survey of the
Land and the Improvements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser and Seller sufficient to enable the parties to determine the asbestos
remediation required or appropriate (the "Asbestos Survey").  Seller agrees that
the costs of such remediation shall include (i) the cost of obtaining the
Asbestos Survey (for which Seller shall reimburse Purchaser), (ii) the cost of
the Theater Remediation (as defined below), and (iii) the amount of the cost
estimate for remediating the asbestos and the asbestos containing materials in
the Mason McDuffie building located on Parcel 3 and the Bank of the West
building located on Parcel 1 (items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to
collectively as the "Remediation Items").  Upon receipt of the Asbestos Survey
by Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser shall obtain bids or estimates, on behalf of
Seller, reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser for the completion of the
Remediation Items (the "Remediation Estimate") and shall deliver the Remediation
Estimate to Seller.  In the event that the Remediation Estimate exceeds $150,000
(the "Asbestos Cap"), Purchaser shall notify Seller within ten (10) days after
the end of the Inspection Period whether Purchaser agrees to pay the excess.
Purchaser's failure to give any such notice shall be deemed an election not to
pay the excess.  In the event Purchaser elects not to pay such excess costs,
Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract by delivery of a written
notice to Purchaser given in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1
hereof, in which event the Title Company shall return the Earnest Money Deposit
to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities
hereunder, except for provisions of this Contract which by their terms expressly
survive the termination of this Contract.  If this Contract remains in effect,
during the period prior to the Closing Date (the "Remediation Period") Seller
shall remediate, to levels established in the Remediation Estimate and
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the asbestos and the asbestos containing
materials only on the land and in the improvements that comprise the theater
complex located on Parcel 2 (the "Theater Remediation").  During the Remediation
Period, Seller shall be entitled to utilize the Earnest Money Deposit (as
defined in Section 3.1 hereof) for the Theater Remediation.  Purchaser shall be
under no obligation to replenish the Earnest Money Deposit for any amounts
actually used by Seller for the Theater Remediation.  Seller shall use its best
efforts to minimize the costs of the Theater Remediation and shall do so, in
part, by completing partial interior demolition of the theater complex in
connection with the Theater Remediation. If Seller's costs actually incurred in
performing the Theater Remediation are less than the Asbestos Cap, an amount
equal to the unspent portion of the Asbestos Cap shall be paid to Purchaser at
Closing to reimburse Purchaser for expenses incurred or to be incurred in
performing asbestos remediation work on the Mason McDuffie and Bank of the West
buildings.

            2.5   Potential Price Adjustment Regarding Mason McDuffie.  The
Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1(c).


                                 ARTICLE III.
                            EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT

            3.1   Amount and Timing.  Within one (1) business day after the
Effective Date (hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deliver to Old Republic
Title Insurance Company, located at 333 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA  94104
(the "Title Company"), Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500) (the
"Initial Deposit") in cash or Current Funds (hereinafter defined), to be held by
the Title Company in escrow to be applied or disposed of by the Title Company as
is provided in this Contract.  Unless Purchaser has previously terminated this
Contract on or before the end of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined)
pursuant to its rights under Section 5.2 hereof, then on or before the end of
the Inspection Period, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company an
additional $62,500 and thereafter, upon Purchaser's review and reasonable
approval of Seller's contract(s) with contractors for the Theater Remediation
and accompanying interior demolition, an additional amount of no more than
$50,000 necessary for Seller to effect the Theater Remediation and accompanying
interior demolition (the "First Additional Deposit") in cash or current funds,
to be held by the Title Company in escrow to be applied or disposed of by the
Title Company as is provided in this Contract.  In the event that the First
Additional Deposit exceeds $62,500 as a result of Purchaser's deposit of an
additional amount of no more than $50,000 necessary for Seller to effect the
Theater Remediation and accompanying interior demolition, Purchaser shall have
the right to extend the Closing Date by no more than thirty (30) days by
providing notice of such extension and of the new Closing Date to Seller;
provided, however, that, in the event, Seller has executed and delivered this
Agreement on or before August 21, 1996, the Closing Date shall occur no later
than December 31, 1996; provided, further, however, that for every day's delay
beyond August 21, 1996 in Seller's execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Closing Date shall be extended by an equal amount of time.  The Initial Deposit
(together with interest thereon) and the First Additional Deposit (together with
interest thereon) are herein collectively referred to as the "Earnest Money
Deposit"; provided, that until the First Additional Deposit has been made, the
term "Earnest Money Deposit" shall mean the Initial Deposit (together with
interest thereon).  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event of any
termination of this Contract and the required delivery of the Earnest Money
Deposit to Seller, the amount of such Earnest Money Deposit shall be deemed the
amount set forth in this Section 3.1 less any portion of the Earnest Money
Deposit used by Seller for the Theater Remediation pursuant to Section 2.4.  In
the event Purchaser fails to deposit any portion of the Earnest Money Deposit
with the Title Company as herein provided, this Contract shall automatically
terminate and any portion of the Earnest Money Deposit which has been delivered
to the Title Company shall promptly be paid to the Seller, and neither Seller
nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations hereunder except for provisions
of this Contract which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this
Contract.  As used in this Contract, the term "Current Funds" shall mean wire
transfers, certified funds or a cashier's check in a form acceptable to the
Title Company which would permit the Title Company to immediately disburse such
funds.

            3.2   Application and Interest.  If the purchase and sale hereunder
is consummated, then the Earnest Money Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase
Price at Closing.  In all other events, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be
disposed of by the Title Company as provided in this Contract.  The Earnest
Money Deposit shall be invested in an interest-bearing account with a financial
institution and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.  All
interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit is part of the Earnest Money
Deposit, to be applied or disposed of in the same manner as the Earnest Money
Deposit under this Contract.

                                 ARTICLE IV.
                               TITLE AND SURVEY

            4.1   Title Commitment.  Within ten (10) days after the Effective
Date, Seller shall cause to be furnished to Purchaser a current ALTA Commitment
for Title Insurance (the "Title Commitment") issued by the Title Company.  The
Title Commitment shall set forth the state of title to the Property, including a
list of conditions or exceptions to title affecting the Property that would
appear in an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, if one were issued.  The Title
Commitment shall contain the expressed commitment of the Title Company to issue
the Title Policy (hereinafter defined) to Purchaser in an amount of the Purchase
Price, insuring the title to the Property specified in the Title Commitment.  At
such time as the Title Commitment is furnished to Purchaser, the Title Company
shall also furnish to Purchaser copies of instruments or documents (the
"Exception Documents") that create or evidence conditions or exceptions to title
affecting the Property, as described in the Title Commitment.

            4.2   Survey.  Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller
shall provide to Purchaser a copy of the most complete survey of the Land and
Improvements in Seller's possession.

            4.3   Review of Title and Survey.  Purchaser shall have until the
end of the Inspection Period (hereinafter defined) in which to notify Seller in
writing of any objections Purchaser has to any matters shown or referred to in
the Title Commitment, the Exception Documents or on the Survey.  Any title
encumbrances, exceptions or other matters which are set forth in the Title
Commitment, the Exception Documents or on the Survey, and to which Purchaser
does not object within the Inspection Period, shall be deemed to be permitted
exceptions to the status of Seller's title (the "Permitted Exceptions").

            4.4   Objections to Status of Title and Survey.  If Purchaser
objects to any item shown or referred to in the Title Commitment, Exception
Documents or Survey within the Inspection Period, Seller shall be given a
fifteen (15) day period (the "Cure Period") to cure, at Seller's option and sole
discretion, but without any obligation to do so, any objection to the condition
of title raised by Purchaser, provided, however, that Seller shall be obligated
to pay or discharge, and cause to be reconveyed at or before Closing, the liens
of any mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanic's liens and other monetary liens
affecting title to the Property (including payment of any prepayment premiums or
penalties related thereto), and the following provisions of this Section 4.4
shall not apply to such exceptions to title.  If Seller is either unable to cure
such objections within the Cure Period, or chooses not to do so, Purchaser may,
at its option exercisable within five (5) days following the earlier of (i) the
date of receipt by Purchaser of written notice from Seller stating that Seller
is unable or unwilling to cure such objections, or (ii) the expiration of the
Cure Period, either (x) accept such title as Seller can deliver, in which case
all exceptions to title set forth in the Title Commitment, Exception Documents
and Survey which are not removed shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, or
(y) terminate this Contract by notice in writing to Seller in which event the
Title Company shall return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser and neither
party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.1 hereof.  In the event Purchaser fails to
notify Seller, within such five (5) day period, that Purchaser has elected to
proceed under either subpart (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding sentence,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subpart (x), and this
Contract shall remain in full force and effect.

            4.5   Other Permitted Exceptions.  The Permitted Exceptions shall
include those matters shown in the Commitment and the Survey which become
Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 above and, in addition,
the following:  (a) the Tenant Leases; (b) current real property taxes and
assessments for the year in which Closing occurs and subsequent years; and (c)
claims and encumbrances arising after the date hereof to which Purchaser
consents in writing.

                                  ARTICLE V.
                           INSPECTION BY PURCHASER

            5.1   Inspection Period.  Purchaser shall have a period of time
commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m., Daly City,
California time on the sixtieth (60th) day thereafter or the next business day
if the 60th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday (the "Inspection Period")
within which to examine the Property and to conduct its feasibility study
thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser may in its sole discretion, by giving
written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
extend the Inspection Period for up to an additional twenty-one (21) days if, as
of seven (7) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Inspection Period,
the City of Daly City, California has not approved Purchaser's preliminary site
plan for the Property with conditions acceptable to Purchaser in its sole
discretion.  The Inspection Period shall be exclusive of the Effective Date.
Seller agrees to allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents access to the Property
during normal business hours upon 24 hours prior written notice to conduct soil
and engineering, hazardous waste, marketing, feasibility, zoning and other

              be necessary to cover Purchaser's share of the closing costs and
              prorations hereunder.

                   (vii)     Evidence satisfactory to Seller and the Title
              Company that the person or persons executing this Contract and
              the closing documents on behalf of Purchaser have full right,
              power and authority to do so.

                   (viii)    A certificate addressed to Seller acknowledging
              and agreeing to accept the Property subject to all Permitted
              Exceptions existing with respect to the Property and all matters
              which would be shown by a survey of the Land and Improvements.

                   (ix) Other items reasonably requested by the Title Company
              for the sale of the Property in accordance with this Contract or
              for administrative requirements for consummating the Closing.

         8.3  Costs of Closing.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller
and Purchaser shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the costs of Closing the sale and
purchase transaction hereunder including, without limitation, the premiums for
the Title Policy, the cost of the Survey, escrow fees of the Title Company, all
recording fees, stamp taxes, transfer taxes and other charges relating to the
execution and recordation of the Grant Deed, the Parcel 11 lot split, and the
REA.  All the attorney's fees and costs and expenses incurred in connection with
negotiating, preparing and closing the transaction contemplated by this Contract
shall be borne and paid exclusively by the party incurring same.  Any costs,
including, without limitation, recording costs, loan fees and attorneys' fees,
relating to (a) any financing obtained by the Purchaser for the purchase of the
Property, and/or (b) any documentary stamp taxes, deed taxes, transfer taxes,
intangible taxes, mortgage taxes or other similar taxes, fees or assessments
incurred in connection with any such financing shall be borne and paid
exclusively by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall pay the additional premiums and costs
incurred as a result of obtaining an extended coverage title insurance policy.
Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of the "entitlements consultant's
fees" incurred to obtain a parking variance for a portion of the Serramonte
Plaza to be retained by Seller after Closing, to the extent that the total
amount of such fees do not exceed $8,000, and Seller shall pay the architect's
fees incurred in connection with such parking variance, to the extent that the
total amount of such fees do not exceed $5,000.

         8.4  Prorations.  All normal and customarily proratable items,
including, without limitation, rents, operating expenses and leasing
commissions, other expenses and fees, and payments relating to any agreements
affecting the Property which survive the Closing, shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date, Seller being charged and credited 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 Closing) 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 in the possession of Seller, if any, shall be transferred by
Seller to Purchaser at the Closing.  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 year of Closing shall be prorated to the date of
Closing, based upon actual days involved.  In connection with the proration of
real property taxes or installments of assessments, in the event that actual
figures 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.
In the event the property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such
rates as would result in "roll-back" taxes upon the changes in land usage or
ownership of the Property, Purchaser agrees to pay all such taxes and hereby
indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims and
liabilities for such taxes.  The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive
the Closing.

              If any of the items subject to proration under the foregoing
provision of this Section 8.4 cannot be prorated at the Closing because of the
unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, 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
of one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date as hereinafter provided.
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 aforestated one hundred twenty (120) day 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 one hundred twenty (120) days
after the Closing Date 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.

         8.5  Possession and Closing.  Possession of the Property shall be
delivered to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing, subject to the Permitted
Exceptions and the rights of the Tenants.  Purchaser shall make its own
arrangements for the provisions of public utilities to the Property and Seller
shall terminate its contracts with such utility companies that provide services
to the Property.

         8.6  Application of Delinquent Rent.  If on the Closing Date, any
Tenant is in arrears in the payment of any rent under any Tenant Lease (the
"Delinquent Rent") payable by it, 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 or
priority:  (A) first, to the period of time prior to the Closing Date, and (B)
second, to the period of time after 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.  Purchaser agrees to use all reasonable, diligent, good
faith efforts to collect and pay to Seller all Delinquent Rent for periods prior
to the Closing Date.  The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the
Closing.

                                 ARTICLE IX.
                           CONDEMNATION OR CASUALTY

            9.1   Condemnation.

                  (a)   In the event that all or any significant portion of the
Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain or conveyed by deed in lieu
thereof, or if any condemnation proceeding is commenced for all or any
significant portion of the Property, prior to Closing, either party may elect to
terminate this Contract by written notice thereof of the other party within ten
(10) days after (i) in the case of Seller, Seller becomes aware of such
condemnation, taking or deed in lieu, or institution of any such condemnation
proceeding, or (ii) in the case of Purchaser, Seller notifies Purchaser of the
condemnation, taking or deed in lieu or institution of such condemnation
proceeding.  If neither party terminates this Contract as aforesaid, then both
parties shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to
the terms hereof, in which event Seller shall, except as limited in Section
9.1(b) hereof, deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any proceeds actually
received by Seller attributable to the Property from such condemnation, eminent
domain proceeding or deed in lieu thereof or assign its interest in and to any
such proceeds, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

                  (b)   For the purposes of Section 9.1(a), "significant
portion" of the property means (i) any portion of the buildings included within
the Improvements, or (ii) a portion of the parking areas if the taking thereof
reduces the remaining available number of parking spaces below the minimum
legally required.

                  (c)   In the event that less than a significant portion of the
Property is condemned, taken by eminent domain, conveyed by deed in lieu thereof
or is the subject of a condemnation proceeding, neither party shall have the
right to terminate this Contract, but Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at
Closing any proceeds actually received by Seller attributable to the property
from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or deed in lieu thereof, or
assign its interest in and to any such proceeds to Purchaser, and there shall be
no reduction in the Purchase Price.

            9.2   Casualty.

                  (a)   In the event that all or any substantial portion of the
Bank of the West Building located on Parcel 1 (the "Bank Building") shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Purchaser may
terminate this Contract by written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) days
after Seller notifies Purchaser of the casualty.  If Purchaser does not
terminate this Contract as aforesaid, then both parties shall proceed to close
the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any insurance proceeds actually
received by Seller attributable to the Property from such casualty and all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any claims which Seller may have
under the insurance policies covering the Property, and there shall be no
reduction in the Purchase Price.  In the event less than a substantial portion
of the Bank Building shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty
prior to Closing, or in the event any other portion of the Property is damaged
or destroyed to any extent, then the parties shall proceed in accordance with
the second sentence in this Section 9.2(a).

                  (b)   For the purposes of Section 9.2(a), a "substantial
portion" of the Bank Building shall be deemed to include any casualty loss in an
amount equal to or greater than $250,000.

                                  ARTICLE X.
                            DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

            10.1  DEFAULT BY PURCHASER; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES.  IF SELLER SHALL NOT BE IN DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND PURCHASER REFUSES OR
FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THIS CONTRACT AND PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF THIS CONTRACT FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
SECTIONS 4.4, 5.2 OR 7.1 OR ARTICLE IX HEREOF, THEN SELLER SHALL BE MATERIALLY
DAMAGED AND MAY TERMINATE THIS CONTRACT.  SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IT
WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME TO ESTIMATE THE
AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGE.  SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE AFTER NEGOTIATIONS,
THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT CONSTITUTES THEIR BEST ESTIMATE,
BASED UPON ALL RELEVANT FACTS, OF THE AMOUNT OF SELLER'S DAMAGE IN SUCH EVENT.
ACCORDINGLY, SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY
PURCHASER, THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT SHALL CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR
SUCH DEFAULT, AND THE TITLE COMPANY IS HEREBY INSTRUCTED BY SELLER AND PURCHASER
TO DELIVER THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY
PURCHASER AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT BY SELLER, AND SELLER SHALL RETAIN
THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  UPON RECEIPT BY SELLER OF THE
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 10.1, SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL
CONSTITUTE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PURCHASER'S DEFAULT, EXCEPT
THAT SELLER SHALL ALSO BE ENTITLED TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IT MAY
HAVE BY VIRTUE OF ANY INDEMNITY CREATED OR GRANTED HEREIN AND/OR WITH RESPECT TO
ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS CONTRACT WHICH BY THEIR TERMS EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE
TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.1 SHALL SURVIVE
THE TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.

            BY INITIALLING IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW, SELLER AND PURCHASER
EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO THE
FOREGOING, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY LEGAL COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE OF THE
LEGAL EFFECT OF THE FOREGOING, AND THAT THEY HAVE AGREED THAT THE TERMS OF THE
FOREGOING ARE EQUITABLE AND FAIR.

PLEASE INITIAL:           SELLER:  __________          PURCHASER:  __________

            10.2  Default by Seller.  If Purchaser shall not be in default
hereunder and if Seller refuses or fails to consummate this Contract other than
due to a termination permitted hereunder or a failure of a condition precedent
to Seller's obligations to close, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's sole option, as
its sole and exclusive remedies, either (a) terminate this Contract in which
event neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations
hereunder except with respect to provisions of this Contract which by their
terms expressly survive the termination of this Contract and Purchaser shall be
entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, or (b) enforce specific
performance of this Contract against Seller.  In no event shall Seller be liable
to Purchaser for any damages, including, without limitation, any actual,
punitive, speculative or consequential damages or damages for loss of
opportunity or lost profit.  The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive
the termination of this Contract.

            10.3  Attorneys' Fees.  If it shall be necessary for either
Purchaser or Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this
Contract, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for its
reasonable attorneys' fees.

                                 ARTICLE XI.
                            BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

            11.1  Brokerage Commission.  Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser
and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or
paid or incurred by Purchaser by reason of any claim to any broker's finder's or
other fee in connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through
or under Seller.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless
from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or paid or incurred by
Seller by reason of any claim to any broker's, finder's or other fee in
connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through or under
Purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnities set forth in this Article XI shall survive the Closing or
termination of this Contract.

            Purchaser hereby acknowledges that at the time of the execution of
this Contract, Purchaser is advised by this writing that Purchaser should have
an abstract covering the Property examined by an attorney of Purchaser's own
selection, or that Purchaser should be furnished with or obtain an owner policy
of title insurance.

                                 ARTICLE XII.
                OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO THE CLOSING

            Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall have
the right to operate and maintain the Property in accordance with Seller's
normal practices; provided, however, that Seller shall not modify, extend,
renew, cancel or permit the expiration of any Tenant Lease (except as expressly
provided in this Contract) or enter into any new Tenant Lease of all or any
portion of the Property, without Purchaser's prior written consent.

                                ARTICLE XIII.

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser do hereby
agree as follows:

      1.    Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment or the context otherwise
requires, each term used in this Amendment with its initial letter capitalized
which has been defined in the Contract shall have the same meaning herein as
given to such term in the Contract.

      2.    Section 2.4 of the Contract is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

      2.4   Asbestos Remediation. Purchaser shall within the Inspection Period,
     at the sole cost and expense of the Seller, obtain an asbestos survey of
     the Land and the Improvements in form and substance reasonably acceptable
     to Purchaser and Seller sufficient to enable the parties to determine the
     asbestos remediation required or appropriate (the "Asbestos Survey").
     Seller agrees that the costs of such remediation shall include (i) the
     costs of obtaining the Asbestos Survey (for which Seller shall reimburse
     Purchaser), (ii) the cost of the Theater Remediation (as defined below),
     and (iii) the amount of the cost estimate for remediating the asbestos and
     the asbestos containing materials in the Mason McDuffie building located on
     Parcel 3 (items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to collectively as the
     "Remediation Items"), Seller and Purchaser have agreed that bids from AFM
     Environmental, Inc. dated June 24, 1996 and ATC Environmental, Inc. dated
     October 14, 1996 are reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser for the
     completion of the Remediation Items (the "Remedition Estimate").  To the
     extent that the accepted Remediation Estimate exceeds $150,000 (the
     "Asbestos Cap"), Purchaser and Seller agree to pay equally any such excess
     amount over the Asbestos Cap.  If this Contract remains in effect during
     the period prior to the Closing Date (the "Remediation Period") Seller
     shall remediate, to levels established in the Remediation Estimate and
     reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the asbestos and the asbestos
     containing materials only on the land and in the improvements that comprise
     the theater complex located on Parcel 2 (the "Theater Remediation").
     During the Remediation Period, Seller shall be entitled to utilize the
     Earnest Money Deposit (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) for the Theater
     Remediation.  Purchaser shall be under no obligation to replenish the
     Earnest Money Deposit for any amounts actually use by Seller for the
     Theater Remediation.  Seller shall use its best efforts to minimize the
     costs of the Theater Remediation and shall do so, in part, by completing
     partial interior demolition of the theater complex in connection with the
     Theater Remediation.  If Seller's costs actually incurred in performing the
     Theater Remediation are less than the Asbestos Cap, an amount equal to the
     unspent portion of the Asbestos Cap shall be paid to Purchaser at Closing
     to reimburse Purchaser for expenses incurred or to be incurred in
     performing asbestos remediation work on the Mason McDuffie and Bank of the
     West buildings.

     3.     Section 3.1 of the Contract is hereby amended to delete the third
     sentence thereof.

     4.     Section 5.1 of the Contract is hereby amended to delete the first
     full sentence thereof commencing with he words "Purchaser shall have...";
     and ending with the words "...its sole discretion.", and the following is
     inserted in lieu thereof:

      5.1   Inspection Period.  Purchaser shall have a period of time commencing
     on the Effective date and expiring at 5:00 PM, Daly City, California time
     on January 31, 1997 (the "Inspection Period") within which to examine the
     Property and to conduct its feasibility study thereof.

     5.     Seller acknowledges that it has received the approvals described in
     Section 7.2 (e) of the Contract, subject to satisfaction by Purchaser of
     its obligations under the Contract.

     6.     Section 8.1 of the Contract is amended to read in its entirety as
     follows:

      8.1   Time and Place.  The consummation of the purchase and sale of the
     property (the "Closing") shall take place at the office of the Title
     Company on or before March 18, 1997 (the "Closing Date"); provided, however
     that in no event shall Purchaser or Seller be obligated to proceed with the
     Closing unless all conditions precedent thereto in favor of the respective
     party have been satisfied or waived by such party.

     7.     Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, no term or provision
     of the Contract is or shall be amended, modified or supplemented.

     8.     This Amendment may be executed in any number of identical
     counterparts.  If so executed, each of such counterparts is to be deemed an
     original for all purposes, and all such counterparts shall, collectively,
     constitute one agreement, but in making proof of this Amendment, it shall
     not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment
     effective as of the date first set forth above.
