ITEM 2 - Disposition of Assets

   The Gables of Erin Shades, Richmond, Virginia

   Disposition Date - July 2, 1998

      On July 2, 1998,  Richmond  Gables  Associates,  a joint  venture in which
Paine Webber Equity Partners Two Limited  Partnership ("the Partnership") has an
interest,  sold the  property  known as The  Gables  at Erin  Shades  Apartments
located in Richmond,  Virginia, to an unrelated third party,  Cornerstone Realty
Income Trust, Inc., a Virginia  corporation,  for $11.5 million. The Partnership
received net proceeds of approximately  $5,153,000 after deducting closing costs
of  approximately  $286,000,  closing  proration  adjustments  of  approximately
$33,000, the repayment of the existing mortgage note of approximately $4,977,000
and  a  prepayment   penalty  of   approximately   $472,000  and  a  payment  of
approximately $579,000 to the Partnership's  co-venture partner for its share of
the sale  proceeds  in  accordance  with the joint  venture  agreement.  Despite
incurring a sizable prepayment penalty on the repayment of the outstanding first
mortgage loan,  management  believed that a current sale of The Gables  property
was in the best  interests  of the  Limited  Partners  due to the  exceptionally
strong market  conditions  that exist at the present time and which  resulted in
the achievement of a very favorable  selling price. In addition,  management was
concerned  about the impact of expected  development  activity  in the  Richmond
market on the future market value of The Gables at Erin Shades  Apartments.  The
Partnership  will  distribute all of the net sales proceeds from the sale of The
Gables,  along with an amount of excess cash reserves,  in the form of a special
distribution  totalling  approximately  $5,243,000,  or $39 per original  $1,000
investment,  to be paid on July 20, 1998 to  unitholders of record as of July 2,
1998.

      2.1 Seller  hereby  agrees to sell and convey  the  Property  to Buyer and
Buyer hereby agrees to buy the Property  from Seller for the Purchase  Price and
otherwise subject to the covenants,  provisions,  terms and conditions contained
herein.


                                    ARTICLE 3

                      PURCHASE PRICE; DEPOSIT; ADJUSTMENTS

      3.1 Deposit.  Contemporaneously  with the  execution  and delivery of this
Agreement (and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement),
Buyer  shall  deposit  immediately   available  funds  with  the  Title  Company
(hereinafter  the  "Escrow  Agent") the sum of Two Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  and
00/100 ($250,000.00) Dollars (the "Deposit") to secure Buyer's obligations under
this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in a segregated interest
bearing money market account with an FDIC insured bank reasonably  acceptable to
Buyer  and  Seller.  The  Deposit  and  all  interest  accrued  on  the  Deposit
(collectively, the "Escrowed Amount") shall be maintained by the Escrow Agent in
such  account  or  accounts  until the  Escrow  Agent is  required  to cause the
Escrowed  Amount to be disbursed  pursuant to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement and the Earnest Money Escrow  Instructions  attached hereto as Exhibit
D. The Escrowed  Amount  shall be applied to the  Purchase  Price if the Closing

      3.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price,  subject to adjustment as provided
herein,  shall be as  specified  in  Article  1 above  and  shall be paid on the
Closing Date (as hereinafter  defined) in United States dollars by wire transfer
of federal funds, less the Escrowed Amount (the "Cash Balance").

      3.3 Tax Proration.  All due and payable real estate taxes, all general and
special  assessments on the Land and ad valorem  taxes,  if any, on the Personal
Property  (based on the most recent  ascertainable  taxes)  attributable  to the
Property  through the  Closing  Date shall be  prorated  and  adjusted as of the
Closing Date. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any
increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or
from any improvements  made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.
If the tax  statements  for the fiscal year during which the Closing Date occurs
are not  finally  determined,  then the tax figures  for the  immediately  prior
fiscal  year shall be used for the  purposes of  prorating  taxes on the Closing
Date,  provided  that there shall be no further  adjustment to be made after the
Closing  Date.  Any tax  refunds or  proceeds  (including  interest  thereon) on
account of a favorable determination resulting from a challenge, protest, appeal
or similar proceeding relating to taxes and assessments relating to the Property
(i) for all tax periods  occurring  prior to the  applicable tax period in which
the Closing occurs shall be retained by and paid  exclusively to Seller and (ii)
for the  applicable  tax period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as
of the Closing Date after reimbursement to Seller and Buyer, as applicable,  for
all fees, costs and expenses (including  reasonable  attorneys' and consultants'
fees)  incurred  by Seller or Buyer,  as  applicable,  in  connection  with such
proceedings  such that Seller  shall retain and be paid that portion of such tax
refunds or proceeds as is applicable to the portion of the applicable tax period
prior to the  Closing  Date and Buyer shall  retain and be paid that  portion of
such tax refunds or proceeds as is applicable  to the portion of the  applicable
tax period  from and after the  Closing  Date.  Neither  Seller nor Buyer  shall
settle any tax  protests  or  proceedings  in which taxes for the tax period for
which the other party is responsible are being  adjudicated  without the consent
of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or
delayed.  After the Closing,  Buyer shall be responsible for and control any tax
protests or proceedings for any period for which taxes are adjusted  between the
parties under this  Agreement  and for any later period.  Buyer and Seller shall
cooperate in pursuit of any such  proceedings  and in  responding  to reasonable
requests of the other for  information  concerning  the status of and  otherwise
relating to such  proceedings;  provided,  however,  that neither party shall be
obligated to incur any  out-of-pocket  fees,  costs or expenses in responding to
the requests of the other.

      3.4  Contract  Proration.   To  the  extent  Property  Contracts  are  not
terminated  pursuant  to Section  4.3,  (a)  prepaid or past due amounts and (b)
prepaid fees or bonuses under any Property Contracts which are assigned to Buyer
at Closing shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Closing Date.

      3.5 Utility Proration. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
terminate  its  accounts  for  electricity,  gas,  water,  sewer or other public
utility usage at the Property as of the Closing  Date,  and the Seller shall pay
all charges  for such  utilities  which have  accrued on or prior to the Closing
Date;  provided,  however,  that if and to the  extent  such  charges  are  paid
directly by tenants,  no such  termination  or payment shall be required.  Buyer
shall  activate its own account as of the Closing  Date.  If Seller is unable to
terminate  any  of  its  accounts,   the  Seller  shall  cause  all  meters  for
electricity,  gas, water, sewer or other public utility usage at the Property to
be read as of the day  immediately  preceding the Closing  Date,  and the Seller
shall pay all charges for such  utilities  which have accrued on or prior to the
Closing Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent such charges are paid
directly  by  tenants,  no such  reading or payment  shall be  required.  If the
utility  companies  are unable or refuse to read meters for which payment by the
Seller is required, all charges for such utilities to the extent unpaid shall be
prorated  and  adjusted  as of the Closing  Date based on the most recent  bills
therefor  and no further  adjustment  shall be made.  The Seller  shall  provide
notice to the Buyer within five (5) days of the Closing  Date setting  forth (i)
whether  utility  accounts will be terminated by Seller or (ii) whether  utility
meters will be read as of the Closing Date and shall  provide a copy of the most
recent bill for any utility  charges which are to be prorated and adjusted as of
the Closing Date.

      3.6 Income and Expense Proration. Collected rents for the then current and
any future  period,  prepaid  rentals,  and all  expenses  and other  charges in
connection  with the  operation of the Property  shall be  apportioned  and full
value shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date, and the net amount  thereof,  if
in favor of  Seller,  shall be added to the  Purchase  Price,  or if in favor of
Buyer,  shall be deducted from the Purchase Price.  Security deposits which have
not been previously applied by Seller shall be added to the Purchase Price. From
and after Closing all security  deposits  credited to Buyer shall  thereafter be
deemed transferred to Buyer and Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for
the payments of security  deposits to tenants in accordance  with the Leases and
applicable  law.  Seller shall be entitled to retain or if  transferred to Buyer
receive a credit for any utility  deposits and any  deposits  for third  parties
under any of the Property  Contracts.  For a period of sixty (60) days after the
Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially  reasonable  efforts to collect owing
past due or  uncollected  rents as of the  Closing  Date,  and such  past due or
uncollected  rents,  less reasonable  expenses of collection  thereof,  shall be
apportioned  between  Buyer and  Seller (if and when  collected).  If Seller has
committed to give any future  monetary  concessions  to tenants  under  existing
leases to which Buyer would  become  liable,  then such amount shall be deducted
from the Purchase Price at Closing.

      3.7 Prorations Generally.  A statement of prorations and other adjustments
shall be prepared by Seller in conformity  with the provisions of this Article 3
and  submitted  to Buyer for review and  approval not less than two (2) business
days prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of making prorations,  Seller shall
be deemed to be in title to the  Property  and  entitled  to the income from and
responsible for the expenses thereof, on the closing Date.

      proposed physical inspection or testing, a list of contractors who will be
      performing  the  physical  inspection  or testing,  evidence of  insurance
      satisfactory to Seller,  and such other  information as Seller  reasonably

      acknowledges  that Seller has delivered to Buyer or has made  available to
      Buyer at the Property, on or before the date hereof, all Documents.

            (b) Buyer agrees that in conducting any inspections,  investigations

            (c) Buyer will indemnify,  defend,  and hold Seller and its property
      manager harmless from all losses,  costs, liens, claims, causes of action,

      limitation,  reasonable  attorneys= fees incurred by Seller as a result of
      the entry upon or  inspections,  tests or  investigations  of the Property
      conducted by or on behalf of Buyer.  This  indemnity  obligation  of Buyer
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

            (d) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Documents are provided to
      Buyer   for   informational   purposes   only   and  do   not   constitute
      representations  or  warranties  of Seller  or its  agents,  employees  or
      representatives  of any kind as to the truth,  accuracy or completeness of
      the  Documents or the source(s)  thereof.  Seller has not  undertaken  any
      independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the

written  notice to Seller,  received by Seller on or before the Diligence  Date,
not to  proceed  with  this  purchase,  in  which  event  this  Agreement  shall
terminate,  the Escrow Agent shall  return the Escrowed  Amount to the Buyer and
this  Agreement  shall be null and void without  recourse to either party hereto
(except to the extent such  recourse  arises in  connection  with a provision of
this  Agreement  which is  intended to survive  termination).  In the event that
Buyer does not terminate  this  Agreement  pursuant to this  Paragraph  5.2, the

CONDITIONS  AND SOLID AND HAZARDOUS  WASTE AND HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  ON, UNDER,
ADJACENT TO OR OTHERWISE  AFFECTING THE PROPERTY.  BUYER FURTHER  HEREBY ASSUMES
THE RISK OF CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO PAST, PRESENT
AND FUTURE  ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITIONS  ON THE PROPERTY AND THE RISK THAT ADVERSE
PHYSICAL  CHARACTERISTICS AND CONDITIONS,  INCLUDING,  WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  THE
PRESENCE  OF  HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  OR OTHER  CONTAMINANTS,  MAY NOT HAVE  BEEN
REVEALED BY ITS INVESTIGATION.

            (a)  Seller  has   delivered   to  Buyer  a  copy  of  the  Phase  I
      Environmental Site Assessment for the Gables Apartments  prepared by CURA,
      Inc.  dated  September  13, 1994 (the  "Phase I  Report").  If the Phase I
      Report  indicates the existence or reasonable  potential  existence of any
      environmental, hazardous waste or Hazardous Substance contamination of any
      portion of the  Property,  Buyer may  terminate  this  Agreement by giving
      written notice to Seller by the Diligence Date. Upon such termination,  in

      intended to survive termination. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that
      if it fails to terminate this Agreement  pursuant to this Section  5.3(a),
      it waives its right to terminate  this  Agreement  pursuant to Section 5.2
      above for any  reason  pertaining  to or in  connection  with  information
      contained in the Phase I Report.

            (b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Buyer
      shall  promptly  deliver to Seller  all  Documents  delivered  to Buyer or
      Buyer's agents, representatives or designees by Seller or Seller's agents,
      representatives or employees pursuant to this Agreement.

            (c) The return of the Escrowed  Amount to Buyer under this Agreement
      shall be contingent  upon Buyer's  fulfillment  of its  obligations  under
      Section 5.4(a) and (b).

to its  accountants,  attorneys,  existing or  prospective  lenders,  investment
bankers, underwriters, rating agencies, partners, consultants and other advisors
to the extent such  parties  reasonably  need to know such  information  and are
bound by a confidentiality  obligation identical in all material respects to the

such  matters to the extent  necessary  to comply with any  requirements  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  or in  order  to  comply  with any law or
interpretation  thereof or court order. This provision shall survive termination
of this Agreement but shall terminate upon the Closing.  Any press release to be

created in this Section shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Buyer and
the Seller, respectively both as to timing and content.

expenses in excess of $10,000 in  connection  with any such cure  undertaken  by
Seller.  If there are Title  Objections  which  Seller is unable or unwilling to
cure by the Diligence  Date,  Buyer may terminate  this Agreement as provided in
Section 5.3, above or waive such objections  which Seller is not willing or able
to cure and proceed to closing. Those exceptions or title deficiencies which (i)
Buyer does not object to pursuant to this Section 6.1 or (ii) are waived because
Seller is unwilling or unable to cure shall be the "Permitted Exceptions."

fulfillment  of the  conditions  set forth in this  Section 7.1 on or before the
Closing Date, or such earlier date as is set forth below.  Each condition may be
waived in whole or in part only by written  notice of such  waiver from Buyer to
Seller.

            (a) Seller  performing  and complying in all material  respects with
      all of the terms of this  Agreement to be performed  and complied  with by
      Seller prior to or at the Closing.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any conditions of Closing (other than an
obligation of Buyer under Section 7.2 below) shall not have been fulfilled on or
before the Closing Date,  Seller shall have the right (in its sole  discretion),
exercisable by written  notice to Buyer at or before the Closing,  to extend the
Closing Date for a period of up to  forty-five  (45) days to provide  additional
time for the fulfillment of such conditions.  Upon any such extension,  the term
"Closing  Date" as used  herein  shall  mean the date set forth in such  written
notice from Seller. If Buyer's  conditions as set forth in this Section 7.1 have
not been met as of the Closing  Date (as the same may be extended as  aforesaid)
then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller,  and upon receipt of such notice Seller shall direct the Escrow Agent to
return the Escrowed Amount to Buyer and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate
and be of no further force or effect.

      7.2 Seller's  Conditions  Precedent.  In addition to any other  conditions
precedent in favor of Seller as may be set forth  elsewhere  in this  Agreement,
Seller's  obligations  under this Agreement are expressly  subject to the timely
fulfillment  of the  conditions  set forth in this  Section 7.2 on or before the

      of the terms of this  Agreement to be performed and complied with by Buyer
      prior to or at the Closing, including, without limitation,  payment by the

            (b) On the Closing  Date,  all of the  representations  of Buyer set
      forth in this Agreement shall continue to be true, accurate and complete.


      7.3 Closing Date.  Subject to Seller's right to extend the Closing Date as
provided in Section 7.1 and Buyer's right to extend the Closing Date as provided

in Exhibit F  attached  hereto on July 15,  1998 (the "Closing  Date"),  at the
office of the Escrow Agent or through the escrow closing  arrangements set forth
in the Form of Escrow Closing  Instructions  attached hereto as Exhibit F. It is

      Buyer shall have the right to extend the  Closing  Date for up to ten (10)
additional  business  days upon the deposit  with Escrow Agent of the sum of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars  ($100,000.00) (the "Additional  Deposit").  The Escrow
Agent will hold the  Additional  Deposit  with the  Deposit,  together  with all
interest earned thereon,  as the Escrowed  Amount.  The Escrowed Amount shall be
maintained  by the Escrow  Agent until the Escrow Agent is required to cause the
Escrowed  Amount to be disbursed  pursuant to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement  and the Earnest  Money  Escrow  Instructions.  The  Escrowed  Amount,

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

      8.1 Casualty.  If the Improvements  are materially  damaged by fire or any
other casualty and are not substantially  restored to the condition  immediately
prior to such casualty  before the Closing Date,  Buyer shall have the following
elections:

            (a) to  purchase  the  Property  in its then  condition  and pay the
      Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer as
      the case may be, on the Closing Date, (i) any  deductible,  (ii) rent loss
      insurance proceeds and (iii) amounts recovered or recoverable by Seller on
      account of any  insurance as a result of such casualty up to the amount of
      the Purchase  Price,  less any amounts  reasonably  expended by Seller for
      partial restoration; or

            (b) if any portion of the  Improvements  suffers damage in excess of
      $350,000.00  from fire or any other  casualty  which  Seller,  in its sole
      option, elects not to repair, to terminate this Agreement by giving notice
      of  termination to Seller on or before that date which is thirty (30) days
      after the occurrence of the fire or other casualty or on the Closing Date,
      whichever  occurs first,  in which event the Escrow Agent shall return the
      Escrowed  Amount to Buyer,  this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and neither
      Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse  against the other (except to the
      extent  such  recourse  arises  in  connection  with a  provision  of this
      Agreement which is intended to survive termination).

      8.2  Condemnation.  If  any  substantial  portion  of or  interest  in the
Property  shall be taken or is in the  process of being taken by exercise of the
power of eminent domain or if any governmental  authority  notifies Seller prior
to the Closing  Date of its intent to take or acquire any portion of or interest
in the  Property  (each an "Eminent  Domain  Taking"),  Seller shall give notice
promptly  to Buyer of such event and Buyer  shall  have the option to  terminate
this  Agreement  by  providing  notice to Seller to such effect on or before the
date which is ten (10) days from Seller's notice to Buyer of such Eminent Domain
Taking or on the Closing Date, whichever occurs first, in which event the Escrow
Agent shall return the Escrowed Amount to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate,
and neither  Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse  against the other (except
to the extent  such  recourse  arises in  connection  with a  provision  of this
Agreement  which is intended to survive  termination).  If Buyer does not timely
notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement,  Buyer shall purchase
the Property and pay the Purchase Price,  and Seller shall pay over or assign to
Buyer on delivery  of the deed  awards  recovered  or  recoverable  by Seller on
account of such Eminent  Domain  Taking up to the amount of the Purchase  Price,
less any  amounts  reasonably  expended  by  Seller  in  obtaining  such  award.
"Substantial  portion or  interest"  shall  mean (i) a portion  of the  Property
valued in excess of  $350,000.00 or (ii) a portion of the parking area such that
the Property is no longer in compliance with zoning requirements.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                              BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

      Seller and Buyer each  mutually  represent  and  warrant to the other that
they have not dealt with,  and are not obligated to pay, any fees or commissions
to any broker in connection with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement
other  than  Insignia/ESG,  Inc.  (the  "Broker").  Seller  agrees  to  pay  all
commissions, payments and fees due to the Broker at the Closing. Buyer agrees to
indemnify,   defend  and  hold  Seller  harmless  from  and  against  all  loss,
liabilities,  costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney'= fees)
arising from any claims for  brokerage or finder's  fees,  commissions  or other
similar  fees in  connection  with the  transaction  covered  by this  Agreement
insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged  arrangements  or  agreements
made by Buyer or on Buyer's  behalf.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify,  defend
and hold Buyer harmless from and against all loss,  liabilities,  costs, damages
and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claims for
brokerage or finder'=  fees,  commissions  or other similar fees,  including any
claim made by the Broker,  in connection  with the  transaction  covered by this

made by Seller or on Seller's behalf. The covenants and agreements  contained in
this Article shall survive the  termination  of this Agreement or the Closing of
the transaction contemplated hereunder.

                        DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

      10.1 Seller's  Default.  In the event that Seller shall have failed in any
material  respect  adverse to Buyer as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed  by Seller on or before the  Closing  Date or Seller  defaults  in its
obligation  to close  hereunder,  Buyer shall have the right to  terminate  this
Agreement and receive (a) the Escrowed Amount and (b)  reimbursement  for actual
costs  incurred  by Buyer  in  conducting  its due  diligence  pursuant  to this
Agreement in a total amount not to exceed  $35,000.00,  whereupon this Agreement
shall terminate without further  recourse.  Buyer hereby waives and relinquishes
any right to sue Seller for any reason whatsoever,  and agrees that Seller shall
not be liable to Buyer for any actual, punitive,  speculative,  consequential or
other  damages for breach by Seller prior to the Closing,  except for payment of
the Escrowed Amount. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER,  ITS DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS,
SHAREHOLDERS,  OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF
THE  FOREGOING,  OR ANY  AFFILIATE  OR  CONTROLLING  PERSON  THEREOF,  HAVE  ANY
LIABILITY BEYOND ITS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR ANY CLAIM,  CAUSE OF ACTION OR
OTHER  LIABILITY  ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS  AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY,
WHETHER BASED ON COMMON LAW, CONTRACT, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

      10.2  Buyer's  Default.  In the event that Buyer  shall have failed in any
material  respect adverse to Seller as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed by Buyer on or before the Closing  Date,  or if Buyer  defaults in its
obligation to close hereunder,  Seller shall be entitled to receive the Escrowed
Amount as liquidated  damages, in lieu of all other remedies available to Seller
at law or in equity for such default, and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to
release the Escrowed  Amount to Seller.  Seller and Buyer agree that the damages
resulting  to Seller as a result of such default by Buyer as of the date of this
Agreement are difficult or  impossible to ascertain and the  liquidated  damages
set forth in the preceding sentence  constitute Buyer's and Seller's  reasonable
estimate of such damages.

      10.3 Indemnity. Buyer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller
from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  causes  of  action,  loss,
liabilities,  damages,  costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys= fees
and court  costs) of every kind and  character  asserted  against or incurred by
Seller at any time and from time to time by reason of or  arising as a result of
the ownership,  occupancy, operation, use, and/or maintenance of the Property by
Buyer  for the  period  from and  after  the  Closing  Date.  Seller  agrees  to
indemnify,  hold  harmless and defend Buyer from and against any and all claims,
demands,  causes of  action,  loss,  liabilities,  damages,  costs and  expenses
(including  reasonable  attorneys=  fees and  court  costs)  of  every  kind and
character  asserted  against or  incurred  by Buyer at any time and from time to
time by reason of or arising as a result of the ownership, occupancy, operation,
use,  and/or  maintenance  of the Property by Seller for the period prior to the
Closing Date. Each indemnifying party shall be given notice of any claims by the
indemnified  party.  The  provisions  of this  Section  10.3 shall  survive  the
Closing.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      11.1 Buyer's Representations and Warranties. Buyer represents and warrants
to Seller that:

            (a) Buyer is a  corporation,  duly  organized  and in good  standing
      under  the  laws of the  Commonwealth  of  Virginia,  is  qualified  to do
      business in the  Commonwealth  of Virginia and has the power and authority
      to enter into this Agreement and to execute and deliver this Agreement and
      to perform all duties and obligations imposed upon it hereunder. As of the
      date of this  Agreement,  Buyer  has  obtained  all  necessary  corporate,
      partnership or other organizational  authorizations required in connection
      with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each of the individuals
      executing  this  Agreement on Buyer's behalf is authorized to do so. Buyer
      has the financial  ability to pay the Purchase Price by tendering the Cash
      Balance,  and to perform  the other  covenants  of Buyer set forth in this
      Agreement.

            (b) Neither the  execution nor the delivery of this  Agreement,  nor
      the consummation of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereby,
      nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement  conflict with or will result in the breach of any of the terms,
      conditions  or provisions of any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is
      a party or by which Buyer or any of Buyer's assets is bound;

            (c)   Buyer is not in any way affiliated with Seller;

            (d) No approval, consent, order or authorization of, or designation,
      registration  or  declaration   with,  any  of  the  United  States,   the
      Commonwealth  of  Virginia,   any  department,   board,  agency,   office,
      commission or other subdivisions  thereof,  or any official thereof or any
      third  party is  required  in  connection  with the  valid  execution  and
      delivery of, and performance of the covenants of, this Agreement by Buyer.

            (e) There are no actions,  suits or  proceedings  pending or, to the
      knowledge  of Buyer,  threatened,  against or affecting  Buyer  which,  if
      determined  adversely  to Buyer,  would  adversely  affect its  ability to
      perform its obligations hereunder.


      As a condition  precedent to Seller's obligation to close the purchase and
sale transaction  contemplated in this Agreement,  Buyer's  representations  and
warranties  contained  herein  must  remain  and be true and  correct  as of the
Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of
any facts,  conditions or circumstances  which render any of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 11.1 in any way inaccurate, incomplete,
incorrect or misleading.

      11.2  Seller's  Representations  and  Warranties.   Seller  is  a  general
partnership existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

            (a)  Seller  has  full  right,  power  and  authority  and  is  duly
      authorized to enter into this Agreement,  to perform each of the covenants
      on its part to be performed  hereunder and to execute and deliver,  and to
      perform its  obligations  under all documents  required to be executed and
      delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and this Agreement  constitutes
      the valid and binding  obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with
      its terms.

            (b) Seller has directed its manager to deliver or to make  available
      to Buyer (i) complete copies of all Leases and (ii) the Rent Roll.

            (c) Seller has  caused  its  property  manager to deliver or to make
      available copies of all Property Contracts.

            (d) Seller has not been served with notice of any actions, suits, or
      proceedings  against or affecting  the Seller or the Property  that either
      (i)  are not  covered  by  applicable  insurance  or  (ii)  if  determined
      adversely to Seller would materially  affect the ownership or operation of
      the  Property or Seller's  ability to perform its  obligations  under this
      Agreement.

      Seller  reserves the right to update the  representations  and  warranties
made by it herein.  All of  Seller's  representations  and  warranties  shall be
deemed to be updated by  information  disclosed  to or obtained by  Purchaser in
connection with its due diligence investigations.

      11.3 Seller;  Seller's  Knowledge.  Whenever a  representation  is made to
"Seller's  knowledge",  or a term  of  similar  import,  the  accuracy  of  such
representation  shall  be  based  solely  on the  actual  knowledge  of Peter F.
Sullivan (ASullivan"),  without independent  investigation or inquiry except for
inquiry of Seller's property manager for the Property. Sullivan is an officer of
a general partner of Seller who has had primary  responsibility  for the sale of
the Property to Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the Closing,
Buyer obtains actual knowledge that any  representation or warranty of Seller is
inaccurate and Buyer nonetheless proceeds with the Closing, Seller shall have no
liability for any such matter  regarding which Buyer had actual  knowledge prior
to Closing.

      11.4 Property  Conveyed "AS IS". (a)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANYTHING  CONTAINED
HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,  IT IS UNDERSTOOD  AND AGREED THAT,  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY

CODES OR OTHER SIMILAR LAWS, (XIV) THE EXISTENCE OR NON-EXISTENCE OF UNDERGROUND
STORAGE TANKS, (XV) ANY OTHER MATTER AFFECTING THE STABILITY OR INTEGRITY OF THE
REAL  PROPERTY,  (XVI) THE  POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER  DEVELOPMENT  OF THE PROPERTY,

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      12.1 Successors and Assigns.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,
Buyer shall not,  directly or  indirectly,  assign this  Agreement or any of its
rights  hereunder.  Any attempted  assignment in violation  hereof shall, at the
election  of Seller in its sole  discretion,  be of no force or effect and shall
constitute a default by Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing Buyer may elect to
have a nominee entity accept title to the Property at Closing, provided that any
such nominee must be an affiliated  entity controlled by or under common control
with  Buyer,  and Buyer  shall give  written  notice of such  nominee to Seller,
together with any  reasonable  evidence of  affiliation  requested by Seller,  a
minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to Closing.  No  designation  of a nominee to
receive title shall release Buyer from its obligations under this Agreement.

      12.2 Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
required or permitted to be delivered  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and shall be deemed  given (i) when  delivered or refused if sent by hand during
regular  business  hours,  (ii) three (3) days after being sent by United States
Postal Service,  registered or certified mail,  postage prepaid,  return receipt
requested,  or (iii) on the next business day when sent by a reputable overnight
express mail service  that  provides  tracing and proof of receipt or refusal of
items mailed,  addressed to Seller or Buyer,  as the case may be, at the address
or  addresses  set  forth  below or such  other  addresses  as the  parties  may
designate  in a notice  similarly  sent.  Any notice  given by a party to Escrow
Agent shall be  simultaneously  given to the other party.  Any notice given by a
party to the other party  relating to its  entitlement  to the  Escrowed  Amount
shall be simultaneously given to the Escrow Agent.

Agreement are for convenience  only and shall not be deemed to extend,  limit or
otherwise define or construe the meaning of the language of this Agreement.

      12.5 No Other Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement,  express or implied, is
intended  to confer upon any  person,  other than the  parties  hereto and their
respective  successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Agreement.

      12.6  Amendments.  This  Agreement  may  be  amended  only  by  a  written
instrument executed by Seller and Buyer (or Buyer's assignee or transferee).

      12.7  Severability.  If any provision of this  Agreement or application to
any  party  or  circumstance  shall be  determined  by any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  to be invalid and  unenforceable  to any extent,  the remainder of
this  Agreement  or  the  application  of  such  provision  to  such  person  or
circumstances,  other  than  those as to which it is so  determined  invalid  or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be
valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      12.8  Applicable  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  construed  under and in
accordance with the laws of state in which the Property is located.

      12.9  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in two (2) or more

shall constitute one and the same instrument notwithstanding that both Buyer and
Seller are not signatory to the same counterpart.

      12.10 Time of the Essence. Time is expressly declared to be of the essence
of this Agreement,  provided, however that in the event any date hereunder falls
on a Saturday,  Sunday or legal holiday,  the date applicable  shall be the next
business day.

      12.11 No Personal Liability.  The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be
binding only on the Property and neither Buyer nor anyone  claiming by,  through

      12.12 No Recordation.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,  there
shall be no recordation of either this  Agreement or any memorandum  hereof,  or
any affidavit  pertaining  hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or
memorandum hereto by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall
constitute a default hereunder by Buyer,  whereupon this Agreement shall, at the
option  of  Seller,  terminate  and be of no  further  force  and  effect.  Upon
termination,  the  Escrowed  Amount  shall be  immediately  delivered to Seller,
whereupon the parties shall have no further duties or obligations to one another
except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

      12.13 Waiver.  The excuse or waiver of the  performance  by a party of any
obligation  of the other party under this  Agreement  shall only be effective if
evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.  No
delay in exercising any right or remedy shall  constitute a waiver thereof,  and
no waiver by Seller or Buyer of the  breach of any  covenant  of this  Agreement
shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same
or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

      12.14 Binding On Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement  shall be binding
upon and  inure to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective

the  parties.  All  Exhibits and  Schedules  attached  hereto are a part of this
Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

      12.16  Construction  of Agreement.  This Agreement  shall not be construed
more  strictly  against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the
fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties,
it being  recognized that both Buyer and Seller have  contributed  substantially
and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

      12.17 Further  Instruments.  Each party,  promptly upon the request of the
other,  shall  execute and have  acknowledged  and  delivered to the other or to
Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate,  any and all further instruments reasonably
requested or  appropriate  to evidence or give effect to the  provisions of this
Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

      12.18 Buyer  Represented by Counsel.  Buyer hereby represents and warrants
to Seller that (i) Buyer is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position
in relation to Seller,  (ii) Buyer is represented by legal counsel in connection
with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement,  and (iii) Buyer is buying
the Property for business,  commercial,  investment or other similar purpose and
not for use as Buyer's residence.

      12.19 Preparation of Documents. All of the documents to be executed at the
Closing shall be in the form prepared to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller's
and Buyer's  counsel and  delivered to Buyer on or before five (5) days prior to
the Closing  Date,  provided that the failure to timely  deliver such  documents
shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder.

      12.20 Public Entity. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is a public entity and
that it is  required  to furnish  financial  statements  to the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission in connection with this acquisition. To the extent available
and in Seller's  possession,  Seller agrees, from the date of this Agreement and
for a period of  ninety  (90)  days  following  the  Closing  Date,  to make the
information  available for Purchaser to audit the last 12 months of operation of
the  Property  so that a report  can be  generated  that is in  compliance  with
accounting  Regulation  S-X  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  In
addition,  Seller  agrees to submit  to the form of  letter  attached  hereto as
Schedule E to the property manager for signature.

      Richmond, Virginia 23219
      Attn: Ms. Lucy Strange


      The  amount of Two  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  ($250,000.00)  (the
"Deposit")  is being  deposited in escrow with the Escrow  Agent by  Cornerstone
Realty Group,  Inc. (the "Buyer") under that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement
(the "Agreement"), dated June 26, 1998, by and between Buyer and Richmond Gables
Associates (the "Seller").

      As escrowee, you are hereby directed to hold, deal with and dispose of the
Escrowed  Amount (as defined in the Agreement) in accordance  with the following
terms and conditions:

      1. You are to hold the Escrowed Amount until:  (a) you are in receipt of a
joint order by the  undersigned  Seller and Buyer as to the  disposition  of the
Escrowed  Amount;  or (b) you are in receipt of a written  demand (the "Demand")
from  either  Seller  or Buyer for the  payment  of the  Escrowed  Amount or any
portion thereof.  Upon receipt of any Demand,  you are directed to so notify the
other party,  enclosing a copy of the Demand.  If within five (5) days after the
non-demanding  party has received or is deemed to have  received  your notice of
your receipt of the Demand,  you have not received from the non-demanding  party
its notice of  objection  to the Demand,  then you are to disburse  the Escrowed
Amount as requested by the Demand.  If within said  five-day  period you receive
from the non-demanding party its notice of objection to the Demand, then you are
to  continue  to hold the  Escrowed  Amount  until you are in receipt of a joint
order as  aforesaid,  but after  sixty (60) days you may  deposit  the  Escrowed
Amount with a Court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

      4. All notices or other  Communications  hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be  personally  delivered  or sent by overnight  courier  (such as Federal
Express),  by  facsimile  transmission  or by first class  United  States  Mail,
