Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 29, 1998, Asset Investors  Corporation (the "Company")  acquired an adult
manufactured  home  community  located in Fort Myers,  Florida from  Serendipity
Properties,  Inc. This community consists of 338 developed  homesites and is 97%
occupied.  In  addition,  on  June  2,  1998,  the  Company  acquired  an  adult
manufactured  home  community  located  in Mesa,  Arizona  from  Brentwood  West
Partners,  LLP. This community  consists of 350 developed  homesites and is 100%
occupied.

The  consideration  for  the  communities  was  determined  through  arms-length
negotiations with the sellers.  Total  consideration for Serendipity Mobile Home
Park was  $8,807,000  of cash,  and for  Brentwood  West  Mobile  Home  Park was
$6,789,000 of cash and $7,000,000 advanced under a short-term note from Holliday
Fenoglio  Fowler,  L.P. The Company  intends to replace the short-term note with
permanent financing in the third quarter of 1998.

The Company  generally intends to continue to utilize the assets acquired in the
transaction as rental  properties which is the same manner as they were employed
prior to the  acquisition.  Due to the  Company's  intent to acquire  additional
manufactured  home  communities,  the Company's future dividends and the taxable
portion thereof cannot be estimated at this time.

The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for  forward-looking  statements in certain  circumstances.  Certain information
included in this Report,  the Company's  Annual Report to Stockholders and other
Company filings  (collectively  "SEC Filings") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  and the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (as well as
information  communicated  orally or in  writing  between  the dates of such SEC
Filings) contains or may contain information that is forward looking, including,
without  limitation,  statements  regarding  the  effect  of  acquisitions,  the
Company's future financial performance and the effect of government regulations.
Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking
statements  and will be affected  by a variety of risks and  factors  including,
without limitation, national and local economic conditions, the general level of
interest rates,  terms of governmental  regulations  that affect the Company and
interpretations of those regulations,  the competitive  environment in which the
Company  operates,  financing risks,  including the risk that the Company's cash
flow from operations may be insufficient to meet required  payments of principal
and interest,  real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and
the general  economic  climate in local markets and  competition  for tenants in
such markets,  acquisition  and  development  risks,  including  failure of such
acquisitions   to  perform  in  accordance   with   projections,   and  possible
environmental  liabilities,  including  costs  which  may  be  incurred  due  to
necessary  remediation of continued  qualification  as a real estate  investment
trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code.  Readers should carefully review the Company's  financial
statements and the notes thereto,  as well as the risk factors  described in the
SEC Filings.

                                AGREEMENT OF SALE


         THIS AGREEMENT OF SALE made as of this ____ day of March,  1998, by and
between COMMUNITY  ACQUISITION JOINT VENTURE, a Delaware  partnership  ("BUYER")
and ____________________________ ("SELLER").

         WHEREAS,  SELLER is the fee simple owner of certain  premises  commonly
known as  SERENDIPITY  MOBILE HOME PARK  located in the City of Fort Myers,  Lee
County,  Florida, more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
made a part hereof (together with all rights and easements  appurtenant  thereto
and all permanent  improvements,  fixtures and utility  systems  thereon,  being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Real Property"); and

         WHEREAS,  SELLER desires to sell and BUYER desires to purchase the Real
Property and all personal  property and  equipment  described in the Schedule of
Personal  Property  attached  hereto as Exhibit  "B" and made a part hereof (the

referred to as the "Property").

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration  of the mutual  covenants  contained
herein, together with other valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby  acknowledged,  SELLER agrees to sell and BUYER agrees to buy
the Property on and under the terms and conditions herein set forth.

         1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF PROPERTY.  SELLER  agrees to sell and convey to
BUYER and BUYER agrees to purchase:

                  (a) All of SELLER'S  right,  title and  interest in and to the

any land lying in the beds of any streets,  avenues, alleys or passages, open or

encumbrances  except  the  Permitted  Exceptions,  as that  term is  defined  in
Paragraph 4 hereof;

                  (b) All articles of personal  property of whatsoever nature or
sort,  if any,  which  are  owned by SELLER  and  which,  as of the date of this
Agreement  of Sale,  are  attached  or  appurtenant  to or used  exclusively  in
connection  with or  located  in or upon the Real  Property,  and any  additions
thereto  or  replacements  thereof  which may be made  between  the date of this


Page 1
<PAGE>

Agreement of Sale and the date of Closing  hereunder (all of the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Personal Property"), which Personal
Property shall be conveyed by SELLER to BUYER at Closing by a quit-claim bill of
sale; and

         SELLER'S  interest in the Real  Property and the Personal  Property are
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the "Property".

         2.  CONSIDERATION.  The total consideration to be paid by BUYER for the
Property  shall be in the sum of  EIGHT  MILLION  FOUR  HUNDRED  SIXTY  THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($8,460,000.00) (the "Purchase Price").

         3.  PAYMENT  OF  CONSIDERATION.  The  Purchase  Price  shall be paid as
follows:

                  (a) Within five (5)  calendar  days of the  Effective  Date of
this  Agreement of Sale,  as that term is defined in  paragraph 34 below,  BUYER
shall  deliver  to Chicago  Title  Insurance  Company,  c/o Ernie  Winn,  at the
following  address:  1819 Main St.,  Suite  360,  Sarasota,  Florida  34236 (the
"Escrow Agent"),  the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND  DOLLARS  ($100,000.00)  which
shall represent the earnest money deposit for the Property (the "Deposit").  The
Deposit  shall be  deposited  by  Escrow  Agent in its Trust  Account  until the
expiration of the BUYER'S Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined).

                  (b) The  Escrow  Agent  shall,  upon  receipt  from BUYER of a
complete and fully  executed  W-9  Reporting  Form,  deposit the Deposit into an
interest  bearing money market  account,  which interest shall accrue to BUYER'S
benefit unless BUYER defaults hereunder.

                  (c) BUYER shall pay the balance of the Purchase  Price,  after
application of the Deposit to the Purchase  Price,  to SELLER at Closing by wire
transfer  of  immediately  available  federal  funds at the office of the Escrow
Agent.

         4. TITLE INSURANCE.

                  A.  Within  ten  (10)  days  of the  Effective  Date  of  this
Agreement by SELLER, SELLER shall deliver to BUYER a copy of the owner's current
title insurance policy, if any, together with copies of all instruments recorded
in the public records or otherwise  encumbering the Property,  subsequent to the
effective date of said Policy.

                  B. Within twenty (20) days of the date of Statutory Compliance
provided in paragraph 8 (should BUYER elect to purchase the Property)  Williams,
Parker,  Harrison,  Dietz and Getzen ("Title Agent") shall, at SELLER'S expense,
as agent for  Chicago  Title  Insurance  Company,  deliver to BUYER and  BUYER'S
Attorney for approval,  as  hereinafter  provided,  a preliminary  owner's title
binder for a title  insurance  policy,  together  with  copies of all  exception
documents  referred  to  therein.  The binder  and policy to be issued  pursuant

Page 2
<PAGE>

thereto shall be paid for by SELLER,  shall be issued at the minimum promulgated
rate, and shall be in an amount equal to the amount of the purchase  price.  The
policy and binder  shall be in a current  ALTA  standard  form "B",  except that
there  shall  be no  exceptions  unless  agreed  to  by  BUYER  (the  "Permitted
Exceptions"). The policy shall insure marketable title.

                  C.  BUYER  shall  have  until  the end of  Buyer's  Inspection
Period,  to give written notice to SELLER or SELLER'S attorney of any objections
by BUYER to the state of title  (including any matters shown on the survey which
are  unacceptable  to BUYER).  Failure  of BUYER to deliver a written  notice of
disapproval  of the state of title to SELLER or  SELLER'S  attorney  within said
period shall be conclusive  evidence  that BUYER has approved  said  preliminary
title report and all  exceptions to title  disclosed in said report or disclosed
on the survey.

                  D. After due notice,  SELLER shall have a reasonable time, not
to exceed thirty (30) days, (and if necessary,  the Closing shall be delayed for
that period) to: (a) cure any title defects,  or (b) terminate  this  Agreement,
whereupon this Agreement  shall terminate and all parties shall be released from
any  further  obligations  hereunder,  except that BUYER shall be entitled to an
immediate  refund of all  monies  paid in  respect  of the  purchase  price plus
accrued  interest,  if any.  Provided,  however,  BUYER may elect to waive  such
defects  and to  proceed  under  this  Agreement  and  accept  title to the Real
Property subject to such defects,  in which case the Closing shall take place on
the  later of the date set for  Closing  as  hereinafter  provided  or on a date
mutually  agreed  upon by SELLER and BUYER  which  shall be within ten (10) days
from the date of such  election  by BUYER (the date  finally  set by the parties
hereto for the Closing shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date").

                  E. Title  Agent or its agent,  shall be in  attendance  at the
Closing  and be in a  position  to issue the title  policy  upon  recording  the
appropriate  documents and insure that SELLER has complied with all requirements
set  forth  under the  applicable  state  statutes  to  extinguish  any right of
purchase or rescission in favor of any tenants or homeowners association.

         5. SURVEY. Within ten (10) days of the effective date of this Agreement
by SELLER,  SELLER shall  deliver to BUYER the most  current  survey of the Real
Property in SELLER'S  possession  (if any).  BUYER may, at its  expense,  within
thirty (30) days of the date of the Statutory  Compliance,  obtain a current "as
built" survey of the Real Property.  The survey must be acceptable and certified
to BUYER,  BUYER'S  mortgage lender (if any), and the title insurer insuring the
Real Property so that the "survey" and "claims of easements"  exceptions  can be
removed  from the title  policy,  and must be  prepared in  accordance  with the
minimum   requirements  adopted  by  the  agency  or  authority  regulation  the
preparation  of surveys in the State in which the Real Property is located.  The
survey shall locate all easements,  streets, common area improvements,  building
setback lines, and other manmade objects, excluding manufactured homes and shall
be super-  imposed over an aerial  photograph  so as to locate all  manufactured
homes and vacant  spaces,  if any. If the survey  discloses an  encroachment  or
setback  violation,  BUYER shall notify  SELLER  thereof in writing  within said
thirty (30) day period, and this shall be deemed a defect in title and paragraph
4 above,  shall  apply.  The survey  shall be dated and  signed by a  registered


Page 3
<PAGE>

and/or  licensed  land  surveyor  in the  state in which  the Real  Property  is
located.  The  surveyor's  seal shall be affixed to the survey.  The  surveyor's
registration  and/or  license number shall be indicated  thereon,  and the legal
description  of the Real  Property  shall be set forth on the survey.  Any other
survey  requirements  in the  Title  Commitment  shall  also be  complied  with,
including a surveyor's  certificate  acceptable to the Title Insurer and counsel
for BUYER.

         6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  A. To induce BUYER to enter into this Agreement,  SELLER makes
the following  representations  and  warranties,  all of which shall be true and
correct  continuously  throughout  the term of this  Agreement,  and which shall
survive  the  closing of title for a period of six (6) months  from the  Closing
Date (hereinafter defined):

                           (a) SELLER is the owner of the  Property  and has the
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement.

                           (b) To  SELLER'S  knowledge,  there are no special or
other assessments levied against or relating to the Property and SELLER does not
know of any proposed assessments.

                           (c) No goods or services have been  contracted for by
SELLER or  furnished  to the Real  Property on SELLER'S  behalf which might give
rise to any  mechanic's  liens  upon or  affecting  all or any  part of the Real
Property.

                           (d)  There  are  no  leases  which  affect  the  Real
Property except as set forth in the Rent Roll attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and
made a part hereof and the  information  contained  on the Rent Roll is true and
correct in all material respects; no rental agents,  brokers or finders have any
rights  with  regard to such  leases  and there are no  commissions  payable  in
connection  therewith;  no  tenant  has an option  to  purchase  any part of the
Property  except  collectively  through  their  Association  pursuant to Section
723.071,  Florida Statutes; and SELLER is the landlord under each such lease and
has the right to assign same to BUYER.

                           (e) SELLER has  received no notice of any  violations
of any law, ordinance, rule, order, regulation,  code or requirement,  including

exercising  similar  functions,  which are  applicable to the Property or to any
part  thereof or which are  applicable  to the use or manner of use,  occupancy,
possession  or  operation  of the  Property,  which have not been cured.  SELLER
represents  that the  litigation  with regard to the past delivery of notices of

Homeowners,  Inc. vs. Serendipity Properties,  Inc., case number 94-9622-CA-JLR,

kept  in  good  standing  all  governmental  permits,  licenses,  and  approvals
necessary for the operation of the Property as a  manufactured  housing  (mobile
home) community,  including,  as applicable,  all County Health Permits or other
applicable  permits,  State Department of Environmental  Protection  permits and

Regulation,  has been  provided to each tenant of the  Property,  if so required
Chapter 723, Florida Statutes, and the administrative rules promulgated pursuant
thereto. BUYER will not provide any prospectus to a tenant of the Property prior
to Closing  unless  both  SELLER  and BUYER have  approved  such  prospectus  in
writing.

                           (h) SELLER has not  contracted  for any  services  or
employment and has made no  commitments or obligations  therefor which will bind
BUYER as a successor  in interest  with  respect to the  Property  except  those
contracts listed in Exhibit "D" (the "Service  Contracts").  With respect to the
Service  Contracts,  (i) amounts  paid or payable  thereunder  shall be prorated

business,  SELLER will not enter into any amendment to or modification of any of
the Leases prior to the Closing Date,  which will reduce,  forgive,  or postpone
any rents or which would otherwise  materially and adversely affect the value of
the Property, without BUYER'S consent; no rents or other deposits are or will on
the Closing  Date be held by SELLER,  except only tenant  security  deposits and
prepaid rents in the ordinary course of SELLER'S business; and no commissions or
other  fees  payable  to any  person,  entity  or agent  are due on the  rentals
collected or to be collected under the Leases.

                           (j) Pending Closing  hereunder,  SELLER shall conduct
its business  involving  the Property in the  ordinary  course,  and during said
period will:

                                    (1) Refrain from entering into any contracts
or other  commitments  regarding  the  Property,  other than in the ordinary and

                                    (3)  Keep  in   effect   SELLER'S   existing
policies of public liability and hazard and extended coverage insurance insuring
the Property; and

                           (k) No tenant has been  granted  any rent  concession
not  reflected  on the face of the copy of the lease for that tenant as provided
by SELLER to BUYER (other than as set forth on the Rent Roll).

                           (l) To  SELLER'S  knowledge  no  underground  storage
tanks, hazardous substances,  or contaminants subject to Federal, state or local
laws or  regulation  have been used,  stored or located  on,  under or about the
Property in any manner  contrary to applicable law and the Property is free from
environmental   contamination   by  such  hazardous   substances  which  require
remediation  except  as set  forth in any Phase I  Environmental  Audit  Summary
attached hereto as Exhibit "E".

                  B.  For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  words  "SELLER'S
knowledge",  "actual  knowledge" or "knowledge" shall mean only that information
that  is  possessed  by  Martin   Newby,   Tim  Newby  or  Todd  Newby   without
investigation,  inquiry, or review of files for this transaction,  and shall not
include any imputed  knowledge  or any  information  that is possessed by any of
SELLER'S other employees, agents, contractors, licensees, borrowers, lenders, or
any other third  parties.  For  purposes of this  Agreement,  the words  "actual
notice",  "written  notice",  "notices"  or "notice"  when used in  reference to

constructive  notice or information not physically received by Martin Newby, Tim
Newby or Todd Newby.

                  C. All representations and warranties of the SELLER under this
Agreement  enure  solely to the  BUYER,  and to any  assignee  to whom BUYER may

hereunder and shall include all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in collection
of all sums due from SELLER to BUYER pursuant to this  Indemnity,  together with
interest on said sums at the maximum rate permitted by law through collection.

                  E. In the event that any one or more of the representations or
warranties given by SELLER to BUYER in paragraph 6.A. above is/are determined by
BUYER between the Closing Date and the Effective  Date, to be inaccurate,  BUYER

fees, or other applicable fees, costs and charges); terminate this Agreement and
direct  Escrow  Agent to refund  the  deposit to BUYER;  or to  contest  BUYER'S
determination  by written  notice to BUYER,  in which event BUYER shall have the
option  to pursue  the  rights  and  remedies  available  to BUYER  pursuant  to
paragraph 20 of this Agreement.

                  F. EXCEPT AS IS OTHERWISE  PROVIDED ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH 6,
AND  EXCEPT  FOR  THE  WARRANTY  OF  TITLE,   SELLER  MAKES  NO   WARRANTIES  OR
REPRESENTATIONS  OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER,  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  WITH RESPECT TO
THE PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT.

this Agreement,  SELLER has not made, or authorized anyone to make, any warranty
or  representation  affecting or relating to the Property or any matter or thing
pertaining  to this  Agreement,  no such  representation  or  warranty  shall be
implied.  BUYER expressly  acknowledges  that no such warranty or representation
has been made and that BUYER is not relying on any  warranty  or  representation
whatsoever  other than as is expressly set forth in this Agreement.  BUYER shall
accept  the  Property  "as is",  "where  is",  subject  to all  defects,  in its
condition on the date of closing subject only to the express  provisions of this
Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing,  BUYER shall be obligated at its own
expense to assure itself that the  prospectus  and other  materials  prepared by
SELLER and used in the operation of the Property  satisfy the  requirements  of,
and conform to, applicable laws, regulations and other applicable  requirements.
Except as otherwise  specifically  set forth in this Agreement,  SELLER makes no
warranty or representation  whatsoever with respect to that prospectus and other
materials.

         As  a   condition   to  BUYER'S   reliance   on  the   warranties   and
representations set forth in this Agreement,  BUYER shall be required to deliver
to SELLER a sworn  certificate  at the closing  stating that, as a result of its
inspection  of the  Property and the books and records  related  thereto and all
other studies, surveys, audits, inspections, and investigations relating to this
transaction (collectively, the "Inspections"),  BUYER is not aware of any matter
that  constitutes,  or with  the  passage  of time or  giving  of  notice  would
constitute,  a  breach  of  SELLER'S  warranties  and  representations  in  this


Page 7
<PAGE>

Agreement,  or that such  breaches  may exist but BUYER elects to waive all such
breaches  or  representations  that  it  has  discovered  as  a  result  of  its
Inspections.

         SELLER, on the Closing Date, shall deliver to BUYER a sworn certificate
that, as of the Closing Date, all the warranties and  representations  of SELLER
set forth in this paragraph 6 were true and correct on the Closing Date, subject
to the qualifications, limitations on survival and reliance and other conditions
with regard to such warranties and  representations set forth in this Agreement,
all of which shall be incorporated by reference in said certificate.

         7.  TERMITE  INSPECTION  AND  REPORT.  Prior to the  expiration  of the
Inspection Period and at BUYER'S expense, BUYER may obtain a termite certificate
for the Property.

         8. BUYER'S INSPECTION  PERIOD.BUYER shall have a thirty (30) day period
("BUYER'S Inspection Period") commencing from the date the SELLER has mailed the
notice to the officers of the homeowners  association  ("HOA")  contemplated  by
Section 723.071(1)(c), Florida Statutes(the "Statutory Compliance") during which
time BUYER shall have the right to perform  such due  diligence  evaluations  as
BUYER may reasonably  require in connection with its evaluation of the Property,
including,  but not  limited  to,  environmental,  soils,  flood  plain,  legal,
financial and  engineering  studies (the  "Data"),  all at BUYER'S sole cost and
expense.  BUYER and/or any contractor of BUYER shall, prior to entry on the Real
Property   hereunder,   obtain   casualty/liability   insurance   in  an  amount
satisfactory  to  SELLER,  or to add  SELLER  to  existing  policies  as a named
insured,  and provide  SELLER with a certificate  of insurance  evidencing  that
SELLER is insured  against any such loss.  In the event that any  inspection  by
BUYER or any  consultant  engaged  by  BUYER  in  connection  with  BUYER'S  due
diligence  results in any damage or  disturbance  to the  Property  or any other
damage or disturbance,  BUYER shall cause such consultant,  or undertake itself,
at no cost to SELLER,  to repair such damage and  restore  such  Property to the
condition it was in immediately  prior to such  inspection  within 15 days after
the damage occurs.  If BUYER approves of the Data,  BUYER shall deliver  written
notice to SELLER  indicating  BUYER'S  approval of the Data (the "Data  Approval
Notice")  prior to the expiration of the  Inspection  Period.  If BUYER fails to
deliver  the  Data  Approval  Notice  as  aforesaid,  the Data  shall be  deemed
unsatisfactory  to BUYER and this Agreement shall  automatically  terminate,  in
which event Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit,  plus any accrued
interest,  to  BUYER  and  the  parties  shall  be  released  from  any  further
obligations  hereunder.  In connection with BUYER'S due diligence evaluations of
the Property, SELLER agrees to furnish the following information to BUYER on the
Effective Date (unless otherwise provided herein):

day after the Effective Date (unless otherwise  provided herein) SELLER fails to
provide the foregoing to BUYER.

                  Should the HOA or any other statutorily  recognized residents'
association  elect to  purchase  the  Property,  but then fails to close for any
reason,  this  Agreement  shall be deemed a back-up  contract  and the terms and
conditions  of  this  paragraph  shall  control  upon  the  termination  of  the
residents' contract.

                  BUYER'S right under this Agreement to conduct  inspections and
tests shall be subject to the following conditions and restrictions:

                           A. If BUYER timely terminates this Agreement pursuant
to this  paragraph 8, all plans,  correspondence,  surveys,  drawings,  reports,
audits and other materials obtained by or on behalf of BUYER with respect to the
Property  shall  promptly be  delivered to SELLER,  without cost to SELLER,  and
shall become SELLER'S property.

                           B. The right of entry granted hereby shall be subject
to the  rights of all  tenants  and  occupants  of the  Property.  BUYER and its
employees, contractors,  architects, engineers, agents and representatives shall
take reasonable  precautions so that BUYER'S inspections concerning the Property
and operations  thereon,  and entries on the Property on BUYER'S  behalf,  shall
cause minimum  disruption to any parties in possession of the Property.  Without
limiting the foregoing,  BUYER agrees to make no contact or  communication  with
any tenant  that in  SELLER'S  reasonable  opinion  may in any manner or for any
reason interfere with,  disrupt,  or otherwise harm relations between SELLER and
the tenant;  and without  prejudice to all other  remedies  available to SELLER,
SELLER may, if it reasonably concludes that BUYER has violated this restriction,
prohibit or restrict contacts or communications between BUYER (or its employees,
agents, representatives,  or other persons acting on behalf of or at the request
of BUYER) and a tenant.  Provided,  however,  BUYER shall be entitled to contact
members of the Board of the Homeowners  Association  for the Property.  In order
that SELLER may protect its rights under,  and enforce the requirements of, this
provision,  BUYER  shall  contact no tenant  without  first  obtaining  SELLER'S
written consent to do so.

                           C. BUYER, as a condition to its exercise of its right
of entry,  agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold harmless SELLER from all fines,
penalties,  liens,  losses,  costs, claims,  damages,  liabilities and expenses,
including  reasonable  attorneys  fees and other  costs and  expenses  incurred,
sustained by, or asserted  against SELLER arising from the exercise by BUYER, or


Page 9
<PAGE>

any of its  agents,  of this  right  of  entry.  The  foregoing  indemnification
provision  shall survive the closing or the  termination  of this Agreement (for
whatever reason).

                           D. At all times before the  closing,  BUYER agrees to
hold in  strict  confidence  and not to  disclose,  or  cause or  allowed  to be
disclosed,  to any  person who is not an  employee  of BUYER  without  the prior
written  consent  of  SELLER,  all  information  and  documents  including  this
Agreement in any way related to the Property or to the transactions contemplated
by this  Agreement,  except as may be required by applicable law or as otherwise
contemplated in this Agreement, and except to BUYER'S representatives,  proposed
lenders and elected officials of pertinent governmental  authorities,  legal and
financial advisors,  and other consultants,  to the extent necessary for BUYER'S
analysis of the Property or performance of this Agreement.  Without limiting the
foregoing confidentiality requirements, BUYER agrees that BUYER may use the Data
concerning  the Property  provided or made  available to BUYER  pursuant to this
Agreement only for the  transactions  contemplated  in this Agreement and for no
other purpose.

BUYER'S obligation to close and consummate the transaction  contemplated by this
Agreement.  BUYER and only BUYER, may waive one or more of these conditions.  In

                  P. BUYER shall  deliver to SELLER the adjusted cash portion of

         12.  PRORATIONS.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,  all
taxes and other operating expenses and revenue of the Property shall be prorated
as of the Closing Date.  Taxes shall be prorated  based upon the current  year's
tax taking into account the maximum  available  discount.  If the Closing  takes
place  and the  current  year's  taxes  are not  fixed  and the  current  year's
assessment is available,  taxes shall be prorated based upon such assessment and
the prior year's  millage.  If the current  year's  assessment is not available,


Page 12
<PAGE>

then taxes  shall be prorated  on the prior  year's tax taking into  account the
maximum  available  discount.  Any rents  received  by SELLER in  respect of the
period after the Closing Date shall be promptly  remitted to BUYER. With respect

the Property and any such  collection  shall be remitted to SELLER promptly upon
receipt by BUYER,  less any  expenses of such  collection  incurred by BUYER and
approved in advance by SELLER in writing. Nothing contained herein shall operate
to require  BUYER to  institute  any lawsuit or other  collection  procedure  to
collect  such  delinquent  lot rental  amounts.  In this regard the first monies
collected  from  tenants  owing  delinquent  lot rental  amounts  shall first be
applied to current rents due and then to lot rental amounts prior to the Closing
Date  unless  they are  intended  by the tenant to apply to the period  prior to
closing.  This obligation to remit shall survive the Closing and delivery of the
Special Warranty Deed.  SELLER shall deliver to BUYER at the Closing,  copies of
such  statements,  invoices bills and receipts as shall be requested by BUYER to
enable  BUYER to verify  the  accuracy  of the  amounts of any  prorations  made
pursuant to this paragraph.  BUYER shall be credited at Closing with all advance
rentals and tenant security deposits  previously paid to SELLER.  All prorations
shall be made so that SELLER has the benefit of all income and the burden of all
expenses up to and  including  the Closing Date and BUYER has the benefit of all
income and the burden of all expenses after the Closing Date.

         13. DELIVERY OF POSSESSION.  At Closing,  SELLER shall deliver to BUYER
possession of the Real Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

         14. FIRE OR OTHER  CASUALTY.  For purposes of this Agreement of Sale, a
"minor  casualty"  shall be any casualty  occurring to the Real  Property  which
causes damages of less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars  ($150,000.00) to
the Real Property. Any other casualty shall be a "major casualty".  If, prior to
Closing  hereunder,  the Real Property is subjected to a major or minor casualty
of which SELLER  becomes  aware,  SELLER shall give BUYER prompt  written notice
thereof.  If such  casualty is a minor  casualty,  this  Agreement of Sale shall
remain in full force and effect and the  purchase  contemplated  herein shall be
concluded  with no further  adjustment,  and at  Closing  SELLER  shall  assign,
transfer and set over to BUYER all of the right, title and interest of SELLER in
and to any  awards  that  have  been or that  may  thereafter  be made  for such
casualty,  subject  only to any  rights  of Tenant  under  each  Lease.  If such
casualty is a major casualty which SELLER, at its option,  does not repair prior
to 60 days after the original  Closing Date (with the closing  extended for such
60 day period),  the Real Property  shall be  considered a defective  parcel and
BUYER shall have the right to terminate  this  Agreement  whereupon  the Deposit
will be refunded to the BUYER and the parties will be released  from any further
liability hereunder.

         15.  EMINENT  DOMAIN.  For purposes of this Agreement of Sale, a "minor
condemnation"  shall be any taking or  condemnation by any body having the power
of  condemnation or eminent domain which causes damages of less than One Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars  ($150,000.00) to the Real Property.  Any other taking or
condemnation shall be a "major condemnation".  If prior to Closing hereunder the
Real  Property is  subjected  to a major or minor  condemnation  of which SELLER
becomes aware,  SELLER shall give BUYER prompt written notice  thereof.  If such


Page 13
<PAGE>

condemnation  is a minor  condemnation,  this  Agreement of Sale shall remain in
full force and effect and the purchase  contemplated  herein,  less any interest
taken by  eminent  domain or  condemnation,  shall be  effected  with no further
adjustment,  and at Closing, SELLER shall assign, transfer and set over to BUYER
all of the right,  title and  interest  of SELLER in and to any awards that have
been or that may  thereafter be made for such taking,  subject only to rights of
Tenant under any Lease. If such condemnation is a major  condemnation,  the Real
Property  subject to the major  condemnation  shall be  considered  a  defective
parcel and BUYER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement  whereupon the
Deposit will be refunded to the BUYER and the parties will be released  from any
further liability hereunder

         16. NOTICES.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement
of Sale  shall be in  writing  and shall be  effectively  given  only if sent by

         17.  ASSIGNMENT  OF NAME.  At Closing,  SELLER  shall  assign to BUYER,
without  limitation,  all of its right,  title and interest in the name by which
the Property is commonly known and hereinbefore referred to.

interests  under  this  Agreement  of  Sale to any  party  other  than to  Asset
Investors  Corporation  or to Asset  Investors  Operating  Partnership or to any
affiliate thereof,  without first obtaining the prior written consent of SELLER,
which consent may be withheld in SELLER'S  sole  discretion.  "Affiliate"  shall
have the meaning set forth in Rule 12 (b)-2 of the General Rules and Regulations
under  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended.  Prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period, BUYER will notify SELLER of the identity of
any proposed  assignee of this Agreement of Sale.  This Agreement shall find the
parties hereto and their respective heirs and assigns.

         19.  SUPPLIES.  Inventories  of supplies,  including but not limited to
paint,  toilet tissue,  soap,  paper towels and all cleaning  materials,  if any
located on the Real Property on the Closing Date shall be  transferred  to BUYER
at no additional cost at the time of Closing and shall be covered by the Bill of
Sale.

         20.  DEFAULT BY SELLER.  If, under the  provisions  of this  Agreement,
SELLER  shall be  obligated to complete the sale of the Property but fails to do
so within the applicable  period provided for closing and such default continues
for a period of fifteen  (15) days after  written  notice  thereof from BUYER to
SELLER,  or shall  otherwise  fail to perform  any of the other  obligations  of
SELLER hereunder  within the required time period,  BUYER shall have the option,
to be exercised in its sole  discretion,  to: (a) apply to the Circuit  Court of
the  County  where  the  Real  Property  is  located  to seek  to have  specific
performance  under this  Agreement  and in such  action  shall have the right to
recover legally  cognizable  damages suffered by BUYER by reason of the delay in
BUYER'S  acquisition of the Property;  or (b) sue SELLER for legally  cognizable
damages sustained by BUYER by reason of the default of SELLER provided, however,
that in no event shall the damages  recoverable  exceed four percent (4%) of the
gross purchase  price;  or (c) obtain the prompt return from Escrow Agent of the
Deposit,  with interest,  together with any other amounts due and owing to BUYER
pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Agreement,  and  thereafter  terminate  this
Agreement.

         21. DEFAULT BY BUYER. If, under the provisions of this Agreement, BUYER
shall be  obligated  to complete the purchase of the Property but fails to do so
within the applicable  period provided for closing,  and such default  continues
for a period of fifteen (15) days after  written  notice  thereof from SELLER to
BUYER, SELLER'S sole right and exclusive remedy against BUYER shall be to obtain
the Deposit (a) as  consideration  for the execution of this  Agreement;  (b) as
agreed on  liquidated  damages  sustained  by SELLER  because of such default by


Page 15
<PAGE>

BUYER (the parties hereto agreeing that the retention of such funds shall not be
deemed a penalty,  and recognizing the  impossibility of precisely  ascertaining
the amount of damages to SELLER because of such default and hereby declaring and
agreeing that the sum so retained is and represents  the  reasonable  damages of
SELLER);  (c) in full  settlement  of any  claims  of  damages  and in lieu of a
specific  performance by SELLER against BUYER; and (d) in consideration  for the
full and absolute release of BUYER by SELLER of any and all further  obligations
under  this  Agreement.  In the event  BUYER  defaults  hereunder,  BUYER  shall
forthwith  on demand by SELLER  return  to  SELLER  all title  papers  and other
documents relating to the Property, including BUYER'S copy of this Agreement.

         22. PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO ESCROW.

                  (a) The duties and obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder shall
be entirely  administrative and ministerial and not discretionary.  Escrow Agent
shall be  under no  responsibility  in  respect  of the  Deposit  other  than to
faithfully  follow  the  instructions   herein   contained.   Escrow  Agent  may
conclusively  rely upon any  instructions or documents  delivered to it by BUYER
and SELLER and  purportedly  executed  by a duly  authorized  officer or partner
thereof and shall be under-no  duty of  independent  inquiry with respect to any
facts  or  circumstances  recited  therein.  In the  event  that any  notice  or
instruction  required  to be  delivered  to  Escrow  Agent  hereunder  is not so
delivered, Escrow Agent may hold the Deposit, if any, pending delivery to Escrow
Agent of such  instruction  or notice  and may  exercise  all of Escrow  Agent's
rights and remedies  hereunder or otherwise  provided by law. The parties hereto
jointly and severally  agree to reimburse  and  indemnify  Escrow Agent for, and
hold Escrow Agent harmless against,  any loss,  liability or expense,  including
but not limited to,  reasonable  attorney's  fees, which may be asserted against
Escrow Agent or to which Escrow Agent may be exposed or which may be incurred by
reason of the acceptance of, or the performance of duties and obligations  under
this Agreement of Sale, except arising from such Escrow Agent's gross negligence
or willful  misconduct.  In no event shall  Escrow Agent be liable for any loss,
cost or damage arising out of the  performance of its duties  hereunder,  except
for acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (b) In the event of any dispute or  disagreement in connection
with the performance by Escrow Agent of its duties under this Agreement of Sale,
including,  but not  limited  to, the  respective  rights of the  parties to the
Deposit,  Escrow Agent may consult with counsel  selected and employed by Escrow
Agent,  and Escrow  Agent  shall  suffer no  liability  for any action  taken or
suffered in good faith in accordance  with the opinion of such counsel,  if any,
provided,  however,  that the Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance  with the
terms of this  Agreement of Sale.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this
Agreement of Sale, if any dispute or  difference  arises among the parties or if
any conflicting  demand shall be made upon Escrow Agent,  Escrow Agent shall not
be required to determine  the same or take any action  thereon.  Rather,  Escrow
Agent may await settlement of the controversy by appropriate legal  proceedings;
or  Escrow  Agent  may,  by  written  notice  to the  parties  hereto,  initiate
litigation  to determine  to whom the Deposit held under this  Agreement of Sale
shall be  delivered;  or Escrow  Agent may file  suit in  interpleader  with the
proper court in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York,  for  the  purpose  of  having  the  respective   rights  of  the  parties
adjudicated.  Escrow Agent,  upon  initiation of such suit, may deposit with the


Page 16
<PAGE>

court the Deposit and, upon giving notice thereof to the parties hereto,  Escrow
Agent  shall be fully  released  and  discharged  from all  further  obligations
hereunder with respect to the Deposit  except  arising from gross  negligence or
willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is
the attorney for SELLER and, in the event any dispute of difference arises among
the  parties,  Escrow  Agent may  continue to  represent  SELLER in such dispute
notwithstanding it's role as Escrow Agent.

         23.  ACCEPTANCE  DATE.  SELLER shall have until 5:00 P.M.  (EST) on the
fifth (5th)  business day  following  BUYER's  Execution  Date,  within which to
accept this Agreement.  In the event SELLER fails to accept this Agreement as of
that  time and date,  this  Agreement  shall be null and void and of no  further
effect and BUYER shall be entitled to the prompt return from Escrow Agent of the
Deposit.

         24.  BROKER'S  COMMISSION.  Ray Martin of United  American Realty Inc.,
P.O. Box 637,  Dover,  Florida 33527,  has acted as broker.  On closing,  SELLER
shall pay said broker a commission of Sixty Thousand  ($60,000)  Dollars.  BUYER
shall pay said broker any commission  agreed upon by BUYER in excess of $60,000,
if any. SELLER shall pay any commission to Martin Newby Realty, Inc. agreed upon
by  SELLER.  Except as  stated in this  section,  neither  SELLER  nor BUYER has
contacted any real estate broker,  finder,  or similar person in connection with
the transaction  contemplated  hereby and that neither party is obligated to pay
any brokerage fee or commission in connection  with this sale.  SELLER and BUYER
each hereby agree to indemnify  and hold harmless the other from and against any
and  all  claims  for  commissions  or  similar  charges  with  respect  to this
transaction,  arising  by,  through or under the  indemnifying  party,  and each
further  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any loss or damage
resulting from any inaccuracy in the representations  contained in this section.
This indemnification agreement of the parties shall survive the closing.

         25.  SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement
which expressly so state shall survive the Closing hereof.

         26. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  SELLER and BUYER  acknowledge that time is
of the essence of this Agreement.

         27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT;  MODIFICATIONS. The parties acknowledge that this
Agreement  is the entire  agreement  between  the  parties  with  respect to the
subject matter hereof,  and there are no oral or written  agreements between the
parties,  nor any  representations  made by either party relative to the subject
matter hereof which are not expressly set forth herein. This Agreement cannot be
modified without a written agreement executed by both parties.

         28. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any litigation between the parties
arising  out of this  Agreement,  or the  collection  of any  funds due BUYER or
SELLER  pursuant to this  Agreement,  the prevailing  party shall be entitled to
recover all costs incurred and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred.


Page 17

As used herein and throughout this Agreement,  the term "attorneys'  fees" shall
be deemed to include all fees incurred whether by attorneys,  paralegals,  legal
assistants  or law  clerks  whether  in  pretrial,  trial,  appeal,  bankruptcy,
collection or declaratory  proceedings.  The provisions of this paragraph  shall
survive Closing and delivery of the Special Warranty Deed.

          29.  EXHIBITS.  In the event that any exhibit  which is referred to in
this Agreement is not attached hereto at the time of execution of this Agreement
by SELLER and BUYER,  SELLER shall promptly cause any such missing exhibit to be
prepared and submitted to BUYER for BUYER'S  approval  within  fifteen (15) days
from the Effective Date hereof.  Upon approval of a given exhibit by BUYER,  the
same shall be incorporated into this Agreement by written agreement  executed by
SELLER and BUYER.

         30.  CONSTRUCTION.  This  Agreement  has been  negotiated  between  the
parties,  each of whom have  been  represented  by  counsel.  Accordingly,  this
Agreement  shall not be  construed  against  either  party as the drafter of the
Agreement in the event of any litigation with respect to it.  Whenever  required
by the context or use in this  Agreement,  the singular  word shall  include the
plural word and the masculine  gender shall  include the feminine  and/or neuter
gender,  and  vice  versa.  The  paragraph  titles,  headings,  and/or  captions
contained  herein  have  been  inserted  solely  as a  means  of  reference  and
convenience.  Such captions shall not affect the  interpretation or construction
of this Agreement and shall not define, limit, extend, or otherwise describe the
scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.

         31. RADON GAS Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
it has  accumulated in a building in sufficient  quantities,  may present health
risks to persons  who are  exposed to it over time.  Levels of radon that exceed
federal and state  guidelines have been found in buildings in the State in which
the Real Property is located.  Additional  information regarding radon and radon
testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

         32. VENUE AND GOVERNING LAW. Venue for any legal  proceeding  hereunder
shall be in the State of Florida  and this  Agreement  shall be  governed by the
laws of Florida.

         33. TAX DEFERRED  EXCHANGE (ss. 1031). In the event,  prior to closing,
SELLER shall desire to restructure this  transaction as a tax deferred  exchange
for property identified by SELLER,  pursuant to ss. 1031 of the Internal Revenue
Code,  BUYER, as an  accommodation  to SELLER,  shall enter into and execute any
such  amendatory  documentation  as  SELLER  may  reasonably  request;  provided
however,  that  BUYER  shall not  incur  any  additional  cost,  expense,  risk,
potential liability or delay whatsoever on account thereof.  BUYER shall have no
liability to SELLER  whatsoever in the event the subject  transaction  is found,
held or  adjudicated  not to qualify as or as a part of a tax deferred  exchange
pursuant  to  ss.  1031  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  no failure to close of any transaction  involving any premises to be
exchanged  shall affect  SELLER'S  obligation to convey the Property as and when
required hereunder.

<PAGE>

         34.  MODEL  HOMES.  SELLER  may  sell  prior  to  closing  two (2) 1997
manufactured homes, in which event they shall be excluded from this transaction.
In the  event one or more of such  homes  have not been sold by SELLER as of the
day of closing,  then BUYER shall  purchase such homes from SELLER for the price
listed on Exhibit "F" attached  hereto.  In the event one of such homes has been
sold and a used mobile home taken in trade by SELLER,  BUYER shall purchase such
used mobile home from SELLER at closing at its appraised  fair market value (not
to exceed $40,000 for each such used mobile home).

         35. EFFECTIVE DATE.  Unless  otherwise set forth herein,  the Effective
Date shall be the date this  Agreement  is executed  by the  SELLER,  so long as
SELLER  returns a fully  executed  duplicate  original of this  Agreement to the
BUYER,  by either hand delivery or postmarked as of the date of the execution of
this  Agreement  by the  SELLER.  Each day of delay in  returning  the  executed
Agreement to the BUYER shall likewise extend the Effective Date.

counterparts,  each of which shall be fully  effective as an original and all of

purposes.

         3.       Escrow.

                  A. Opening of Escrow.  Escrow No.  9804614-41  (the  "Escrow")

                  B.  Escrow  Cancellation  Charges.  If  Escrow  fails to close
because of Seller's  default,  Seller  shall be liable for any  cancellation  of

         4.       Consideration From Buyer.

                  A. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (herein so called) to be
paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property is $13,200,000.00 payable as follows:

                           (1)  Initial  Earnest  Money.  Upon  the  Opening  of
Escrow,  Buyer shall  deposit  with Escrow  Agent  $200,000.00  in cash or other
immediately  available funds (the "Initial  Earnest Money") to be held by Escrow
Agent until  cancellation as provided below or paid to Seller at Close of Escrow
(as defined below).

                           (2) Additional  Earnest Money. Upon the expiration of
the Study  Period (as defined  below),  Buyer shall  deposit  with Escrow  Agent
$300,000.00  in cash or other  immediately  avail able  funds  (the  "Additional
Earnest Money") to be held by Escrow Agent until  cancellation as provided below
or paid to  Seller  at  Close of  Escrow.  The  Initial  Earnest  Money  and the
Additional  Earnest  Money  shall  sometimes  be  referred  to  collectively  or
alternatively as the "Earnest Money".

                           (3) Closing Funds.  On or before the Close of Escrow,
Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent, in the form of cash or other  immediately
available funds, the balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller upon the

fees,  payable to any person.  Any such fees payable shall be paid by Buyer from
separate funds in addition to the Purchase Price.

                  B.  Distribution of Purchase  Price. If Seller elects,  Seller
may  dissolve  prior to the  Closing,  in which  event,  Seller  shall cause its
partners to sell the  Property to Buyer and the  Purchase  Price and the closing
costs shall be allocated among each of the partners as follows:


                                        2

<PAGE>



           1)   H&E Mesa Partnership, a general partnership:        54.5%
           2)   L&F Investments Limited Partnership, an Arizona
                limited partnership:                                40.0%
           3)   Lloyd Kent, as Trustee of the EJF Trust U/T/A
                Dated March 3, 1995:                                 5.5%

         5. Earnest Money.  Seller and Buyer hereby instruct Escrow Agent to put
the Earnest Money in a federally insured daily interest-bearing passbook account
on behalf of Seller and Buyer.  The Earnest Money, and interest accrued thereon,
shall be applied as follows:

                  A.  Cancellation  By  Buyer.  If Seller  defaults  or if Buyer
cancels  this  Agreement  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement,  the Earnest
Money and all  interest  accrued  thereon  less  $100.00  representing  the fair
consideration   paid  by  Buyer  to  Seller  for  this   Agreement   (the  "Fair
Consideration") shall be paid immediately to Buyer.

                  B. Default By Buyer. If Buyer defaults,  the Earnest Money and
all interest accrued thereon shall be paid to Seller.

                  C. Close of Escrow.  If Escrow  closes,  the Earnest Money and
all  interest  accrued  thereon to Close of Escrow  shall be  credited to Buyer,
automatically  applied against the Purchase Price and paid to Seller at Close of
Escrow.

         6.  Close of Escrow; Conveyance of Title; Title Insurance.

                  A.  Close  of  Escrow.  Consummation  of the  purchase  of the
Property (the "Close of Escrow" or "Closing") and recordation of the appropriate
Transfer Documents (as defined below) shall take place on or before the 30th day
after the expiration of the Study Period (as defined below),  or such later date
mutually  agreed to in writing by and  between  Buyer and Seller  (the  "Closing
Date").  At or before  Closing,  each  Party  shall  execute  and  deliver  such
documents  and perform  such acts as are  provided  for in this  Agreement.  The
Closing shall be extended for a period not to exceed an  additional  thirty-five
(35) days if  necessary  to prevent a  prepayment  default  on the  indebtedness
referred  in Item 4, under  Schedule B - Section 1 of the  Commitment  for Title
Insurance (as defined below).

                  B. Closing Costs.  All recording fees shall be paid by Seller,
all escrow  service fees shall be paid  one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer
and all other escrow closing costs shall be charged by Escrow Agent to, and paid
by, the  respective  Parties in  accordance  with local custom as  determined by
Escrow Agent unless payment of such costs is  specifically  provided for in this
Agreement or the Transfer  Documents (as defined  below).  Real property  taxes,
improvement liens and other assessments affecting the Property shall be prorated
to the Close of Escrow.  The real property  taxes shall be prorated on the basis
of the  latest  available  tax  statement;  provided,  however,  that if,  after
Closing,  the  actual  tax bill for the  Property  varies  from  Escrow  Agent's
pro-ration  figures,  a new pro-ration shall be completed and the Party in whose
favor any difference  exists after  pro-ration shall be entitled to recover such
difference from the other Party. Except as provided in this Section,  Seller and
Buyer shall each bear their own costs in regard to the Purchase  Transaction (as
defined below). Seller agrees that all closing costs

                                        3

<PAGE>



payable by Seller shall be deducted from Seller's proceeds  otherwise payable to
Seller at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent sufficient cash
to pay all of Buyer's closing costs.

         All rent and other  monthly  sums due from the tenants and others under
the Leases  shall be pro rated as of the Close of Escrow.  All  charges for gas,
electricity,  water and any other utilities serving the Property and not charged
directly to the tenants and all other  operating  expenses of the Property shall
be prorated as of the Close of Escrow outside of Escrow and paid to Buyer within
30 days after the Close of Escrow in cash,  by check or by wire  transfer.  With
regard to  utilities,  upon Close of Escrow,  Seller  shall  cancel all  utility
accounts  which may then be in  Seller's  name and Seller  shall be  entitled to
receive and collect any utility  deposits which may be due Seller as of Close of
Escrow.

                  C. The Transfer Documents. On or prior to the Close of Escrow,
Seller and Buyer, as applicable, shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver the
following to Escrow Agent for  recordation,  if  appropriate,  and delivery upon
Close of Escrow:

                           (1) A  Special  Warranty  Deed,  in form and  content
identical  to  Exhibit D (the  "Deed"),  executed  and  acknowledged  by Seller,
conveying title to the Property to Buyer;

                           (2) An  Affidavit  of  Property  Value,  required  by
A.R.S. ss.42-1612, in form and content identical to Exhibit E (the "Affidavit");

                           (3) An Assignment and Assumption  Agreement,  in form
and  content  identical  to Exhibit F (the  "Assignment"),  executed  by Seller,
assigning  to  Buyer  Seller's  interest  in the  Permits,  the  Leases  and the
Contracts and executed by Buyer assuming all of Seller's  obligations  under the
Permits, the Leases and the Contracts; and

                           (4) A Bill of Sale  (herein so  called),  in form and
content identical to Exhibit G, executed by Seller,  assigning to Buyer Seller's
interest in the Personal Property.

The  Deed,  the  Affidavit,  the  Assignment,  the  Bill of Sale  and all  other
documents, if any, which may be necessary to consummate the Purchase Transaction
are collectively referred to as the "Transfer Documents".

                  D. Title  Insurance.  Escrow Agent,  at Seller's  cost,  shall
issue  or cause  to be  issued  a  standard  coverage  owner's  policy  of title
insurance (the "Owner's  Policy") in the amount of the Purchase  Price. If Buyer
elects to obtain an extended  coverage  lender's policy of title insurance,  any
endorsements,  any  inspection  reports  or any  survey,  Buyer  shall  pay  the
additional premiums and costs for each.

                  E. IRS Section  1445.  Seller shall furnish to Buyer in Escrow
by Close of Escrow a sworn affidavit, in the form of Exhibit H (the "Non-Foreign
Affidavit") in accordance with Section  1445(f)(3) of the Internal  Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                  F.  Delivery of  Possession.  Seller  shall vacate and deliver
possession of the Property to Buyer at Close of Escrow, subject to the rights of
the tenants under the Leases.

                  G. Escrow  Instructions.  This Agreement,  when deposited with

Escrow Agent with respect to the Purchase Transaction.  It is provided, however,
that in the event of a conflict  between the terms and  conditions of the Escrow
Instructions  and the  terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement,  the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.  Without  limiting the generality of
the  foregoing,  in no event shall Escrow Agent be  indemnified or held harmless
for  any  liability  or  claim  arising  from  its  own  negligence  or its  own
intentional  misconduct or act of malfeasance and the so-called  "13-day notice"
provision, if any, in the Escrow Instructions is hereby deleted.

approve  any  investigations,  studies  or tests  deemed  necessary  by Buyer to
determine the  feasibility of acquiring and developing the Property,  including,
but not limited to, environmental studies (collectively,  the "Studies";  each a
"Study").  Buyer agrees to  immediately  provide a copy of each Study to Seller,
including,  but not limited to, a copy of any environmental assessment report of
the Property.  Seller hereby  grants to Buyer and Buyer's  agents,  employees or
contractors  the right to enter upon the  Property  during  the Study  Period to
conduct the Studies during normal business hours,  after reasonable  notice.  In
consideration of Seller granting Buyer the right of entry to the Property, Buyer
shall  and does  hereby  agree to hold  harmless  Seller  and  Seller's  agents,
employees  and  partners  and  such  partners'  respective  partners,  trustees,
beneficiaries,  employees and agents (collectively,  the "Indemnified  Parties";
each an  "Indemnified  Party")  for,  from and against any and all  liabilities,
claims,  losses or  damages,  including,  but not  limited  to,  court costs and
attorneys'  fees,  which may be incurred by an Indemnified  Party because of the
Studies and to restore the Property to the condition existing  immediately prior
to any such Study.  Buyer's  obligations  as provided in the preceding  sentence
shall survive the  cancellation  of this  Agreement and the Close of Escrow,  as
applicable. If the results of any of the Studies are not acceptable to Buyer and
Buyer so notifies Seller and Escrow Agent in writing on or before the end of the
Study Period (the  "Cancellation  Notice"),  this  Agreement  shall be canceled.
Buyer's  failure,  for any reason,  to give the  Cancellation  Notice before the
expiration  of the Study  Period  automatically  shall be  deemed to be  Buyer's
election to close the Escrow.

                  B. Failure of Condition  Precedent.  If Buyer elects to cancel
this  Agreement  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions  of this  Section 7, the
Initial   Earnest   Money  plus   interest   accrued   thereon  (less  the  Fair
Consideration)  shall be  refunded  immediately  by Escrow  Agent to Buyer  and,
except as otherwise  provided in this Agreement,  neither Seller nor Buyer shall
have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement. If Buyer does not
elect to cancel the  Agreement  pursuant  to the  foregoing  provisions  of this
Section 7, the  Earnest  Money (the  Initial  Earnest  Money and the  Additional
Earnest Money), plus interest accrued thereon, shall be non-refundable.

and agents:  (1) have not made any independent  investigation or verification of

Seller's  partners,  employees or agents having furnished such information or by
reason of any such  information  becoming or proving to have been  incorrect  or
inaccurate in any respect,  and Buyer does hereby  covenant and agree to defend,
pay,  indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified  Parties for, from and against
any and all such claims of liability by any person or entity.

         10. Seller's  Representations and Warranties.  Seller hereby represents

                  C.  Notice  Obligations.   Should  Seller  receive  notice  or

been  authorized by all necessary  entity action on behalf of Buyer,  the person
executing  this Agreement on behalf of Buyer has the authority to do so, when so
executed  this  Agreement  shall be the legal,  valid and binding  obligation of
Buyer and, upon fulfillment of all conditions  described herein,  this Agreement

                  B. No Oral Representations and Warranties.  Buyer acknowledges

execution of this  Agreement  Buyer  acknowledges  that no person has made,  any

as  expressly  set  forth  in  this  Agreement;  and any  agreement,  statement,
representation  or promise  made by any person  which is not  contained  in this
Agreement  may not be relied upon and shall not be valid or binding upon Seller.
The only  representations or warranties  outstanding with respect to the subject
matter of the  Purchase  Transaction,  either  express or  implied  by law,  are
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

                  C. Limitation of Seller's Representations; "As-Is Sale". Buyer
acknowledges  and agrees that the  Property  shall be  purchased  in an "as-is,"
"where is"  condition,  and,  except as  otherwise  specifically  stated in this
Agreement, Seller and Seller's partners, agents or employees make no warranty or
representation  of any kind, type or nature,  express or implied,  or arising by
operation  of law,  including,  but not limited to, any  warranty of  condition,
habitability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, in respect of

faults,  any warranties of  merchantability  or fitness for a particular purpose
being hereby expressly disclaimed. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will

<PAGE>



purchasing the Property solely upon the basis of such  investigation  and not on
the basis of any repre sentation,  express or implied, written or oral, made by,
or on the basis of any  information  provided  or to be provided  by,  Seller or
Seller's  partners,  agents or  employees.  Seller is hereby  released  from all
responsibility regarding the valuation or condition of all or any portion of the
Property.  Seller shall have no responsibility  to remove,  remedy or repair any
existing  improvements,  materials  or  conditions  located or  existing  on the
Property.

         12. Commissions. Seller and Buyer warrant that they have not dealt with
any finder,  broker or realtor in connection  with the  transaction  embodied by
this Agreement  except as described in Exhibit "K." If any person shall assert a
claim to a finder's fee or brokerage commission on account of alleged employment
as a finder or broker in  connection  with the Purchase  Transaction,  the Party
under whom the finder or broker is claiming  shall  indemnify  and hold harmless
the other Party for, from and against any such claim and all costs, expenses and
liabilities  incurred in connection  with such claim or any action or proceeding
brought on such claim,  including,  but not limited to, counsel and witness fees
and  court  costs  in  defending  against  such  claims.  Seller  shall  have no
obligation to pay any commission due or alleged to be due to Buyer's broker. The
Parties'  obligations  under this Section 12 shall survive the  cancellation  of
this Agreement and the Close of Escrow, as applicable.

         13.      Remedies.

                  A. Pre-Closing  Seller's Default. If Seller defaults (provided
there is no  pre-existing  default by  Buyer),  Buyer may elect in  writing,  as
Buyer's sole remedy, to: (i) waive such breach and close Escrow; (ii) cancel the
Escrow and this Agreement; or (iii) file an action for specific performance.

                  B. Pre-Closing Buyer's Default. If Buyer defaults,  Seller may
either:  (i) waive such breach and close  Escrow;  or (ii) by written  notice to
Buyer and Escrow  Agent,  cancel this  Agreement  whereupon  the  Earnest  Money
(Initial Earnest Money and Additional Earnest Money) plus interest thereon shall
be paid  immediately  by Escrow Agent to Seller.  Seller and Buyer agree that it
would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix actual damages in case of the
Buyer's  default;  that  the  amount  of the  Earnest  Money  paid by Buyer is a
reasonable estimate of the Seller's damages in case of Buyer's default; and that
Seller  shall  retain the Earnest  Money as Seller's  damages  and,  thereafter,
except as otherwise  provided in this  Agreement,  neither  Party shall have any
further obligation to the other under this Agreement.

                  C.  Post-Closing  Default.  If  a  breach  or  default  of  an
obligation  becomes known after  Closing,  Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to
all  remedies  available  to them at law or in  equity,  except for the right of
rescission and the right to receive  consequential and/or punitive damages which
Buyer and Seller both hereby expressly waive.

         14.      Notices.

                  A. Addresses.  Except as otherwise required by law, any notice
required  or  permitted  under this  Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
given by personal delivery,  or by deposit in the United States mail,  certified
or  registered,  return receipt  requested,  postage  prepaid,  addressed to the
Parties at the  addresses  set forth below,  or at such other address as a Party

                  A.  Buyer  shall  retain  in   confidence   all   Confidential
Information  transmitted  to Buyer by  Seller.  Buyer  shall  not  disclose  any
Confidential  Information  except to their  employees or agents who need to know
such information,  provided that such employees and agents are informed by Buyer
of the  confidential  nature  of such  information  and that by  receiving  such
information  they are  agreeing  to be bound by this  Agreement,  which shall be
fully  enforceable  against  them  as if  they  signed  a  counterpart  of  this
Agreement.  Buyer hereby  agrees to pay,  defend,  indemnify  and hold  harmless
Sellers and  Sellers'  members,  managers,  partners,  trustees,  beneficiaries,
employees  and  agents  (collectively,   the  "Indemnified  Parties",   each  an
"Indemnified  Party") for, from and against any cost,  damage,  loss, or expense
caused by or arising out of the  unauthorized  disclosure by Buyer,  or any such
employee or agent of Buyer, of any  Confidential  Information.  Any Confidential
Information  disclosed by Sellers or Buyer pursuant to this  Agreement  shall be
disclosed  solely  for the  purpose  of  determining  whether  to enter into the
Purchase  Transaction  and shall not be used by Buyer for any other purpose.  If
Buyer is legally  compelled to disclose  any  Confidential  Information  or else
stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Buyer may disclose
such information  solely for such purpose without liability under this Agreement
provided  that Buyer  shall have used  reasonable  efforts to obtain an order or
other reasonable assurance that confidential  treatment will be accorded to such
information.

                  B.  In  the  event  that  any   Seller  or  Buyer   terminates
discussions of the Purchase Transaction for any reason: (i) Buyer shall promptly
deliver to Seller  (without  retaining  copies) any  documents or other  written
information  obtained from Seller in connection with such  discussions and Buyer
shall promptly deliver to Seller,  or at Seller's  request,  Buyer shall destroy
any notes, extracts,

                                       10

<PAGE>



summaries or other materials derived in any way from  Confidential  Information;
and  (ii)  Buyer  shall  continue  to  maintain  the   confidentiality   of  all
Confidential  Information  previously received.  For purposes of this Agreement,
the term  "documents"  shall be  construed  to include  all  tangible  materials
containing any Confidential  Information,  including,  without  limitation,  all
computer disks, tapes, electronic or magnetic media or storage of any kind.

                  C. Neither Buyer nor Seller  shall,  without the prior written
consent of the other, make any statement,  public announcement or release to any
publication  or the press or make any  statement  to any  competitor,  employee,
customer,  supplier  or third  party  with  respect to such  discussions  or the
Purchase  Transaction  (including the identity of each other),  except as may be
necessary to comply with the  requirements of any applicable  law,  governmental
order or regulation.

                  D.  The  term  "Confidential   Information"  shall  mean,  any
confidential  non-public  information  provided by Sellers,  including,  but not
limited to, financial  information,  know-how,  products, and other intellectual
property, customer and supply resource lists, financial and/or operating (income
and/or  expense) data and trade  secrets.  The term  "Confidential  Information"
shall exclude information which: (i) is generally available to the public at the
time of its receipt by Buyer; (ii) was known to Buyer prior to its disclosure to
Buyer as evidenced by documents in Buyer's  possession  prior to  disclosure  by
Sellers;  or (iii) is  disclosed  to Buyer by a third party that is not bound by
any similar confidentiality agreement.

         20.      Miscellaneous.

                  A.  Modification  and  Waiver.  Except as  expressly  provided
herein to the contrary,  no supplement  modification or amendment of any term of
this Agreement shall be deemed binding or effective unless in writing and signed
by the  Parties.  No waiver of any of the  provisions  of this  Agree ment shall
constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision, nor shall any waiver be
a continuing waiver.  Except as otherwise  expressly provided in this Agreement,
no waiver  shall be binding  unless  executed in writing by the Party making the
waiver.

                  B. Exhibits; Recitals. All Exhibits and Recitals referenced in
this Agreement are incorporated in, shall constitute a part of, this Agreement.

                  C. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transfer Documents
contain the entire  agreement and  understanding  of the Parties with respect to
the subject matter of this Agreement.  All agreements and understandings entered
into prior to the date of this  Agreement  with respect to the subject matter of
this  Agreement are revoked and  superseded  by this  Agreement and the Transfer
Documents. No representations, warranties, inducements, promises, agreements, or
understandings  not  contained in the Transfer  Documents  regarding the subject
matter of this  Agreement  shall be of any  force or  effect  after the Close of
Escrow  unless  in  writing,  executed  by the  Party to be bound  and dated the
Closing Date.

                  D. Attorneys'  Fees. If either Party breaches any provision of
this  Agreement,  the breaching Party shall pay to the  non-breaching  Party all
actual and reasonable  attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses  incurred by
the non-breaching Party in enforcing this Agreement or preparing for legal

                                       11

<PAGE>



or other  proceedings,  regardless of whether suit is instituted.  If it becomes
necessary  for either Party to employ legal counsel or to bring an action at law
or other proceeding to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  Party in any such  action  or  proceeding  shall be
entitled  to recover  its costs and  expenses  incurred  in such action from the
other Party,  including,  but not limited to, reasonable  attorneys' fees set by
the Court (and not by a jury) at both  trial and  appellate  levels,  and if any
judgment is obtained by the prevailing Party, all such costs,  expenses and fees
shall be included in the judgment.

                  E. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is
declared  void,  invalid or  unenforceable,  or the  application  thereof to any
person or  circumstance  shall,  to any extent,  be de clared  void,  invalid or
unenforceable, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such term or provision
shall be deemed  amended and  reformed to delete  therefrom  that  portion  thus
adjudicated  void,  invalid  or  unenforceable  and to the  extent  such term or
provision  is  deemed  unenforceable  by virtue  of its  scope,  but may be made
enforceable  by limiting the scope of such term or provision,  each Party agrees
that  such  term  or  provision  shall  be  enforceable  to the  fullest  extent
permissible  and the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term
or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held
invalid  or  unenforceable,  shall not be  affected  thereby,  and each term and
provision of this Agreement  shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

                  F.  Successors and Assigns.  This  Agreement  shall be binding
upon,  inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against the Parties to
this Agreement and their respective heirs, executors,  administrators,  personal
representatives, successors and assigns.

                  G.  Counterparts.  This  Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts,  but all such  counterparts  shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement.  If counterparts  are employed,  then, upon the Opening of Escrow and
the Close of Escrow, as applicable,  Escrow Agent shall assemble all counterpart
signature  pages into a single  document,  and copies of this document  shall be
delivered  to Seller and Buyer.  The Parties  agree that this  Agreement  may be
transmitted  between  them via  facsimile.  The  Parties  intend  that the faxed
signatures  constitute original signatures and that a faxed agreement containing
the  signatures  (original  or faxed) of all the  Parties  is  binding  upon the
Parties.

                  H.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be governed by and
construed  in  accordance  with the  internal  substantive  laws of the State of
Arizona.  Any action  brought to  interpret  or enforce any  provisions  of this
Agreement,  or otherwise  relating to or arising from this  Agreement,  shall be

         WHEREAS, Assignor has heretofore entered into a Purchase Agreement With
Escrow  Instructions  with Brentwood West Partners L.L.P., a registered  Arizona
limited  liability  partnership,  ("Owner")  dated as of the 14th day of  April,

Assignee (collectively, the "Contract"). A complete current copy of the Contract

         WHEREAS,  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  Contract,  Assignor  (or its
assignee)  agreed to purchase the real  property  described  therein  located in
Maricopa County, Arizona (the "Real Property") and associated personal property,
contracts,  leases, licenses,  permits and similar property (collectively,  with

         WHEREAS, Assignor has agreed to assign its rights under the Contract to
Assignee,  and Assignee has agreed to the Assignment,  subject to the conditions
herein; and

                                        1

<PAGE>



         WHEREAS,  the parties desire to memorialize their mutual  understanding
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein.

         NOW  THEREFORE,  for and in  consideration  of the  sum of Ten  Dollars
($10.00) in hand paid by Assignee  to  Assignor,  the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged  by Assignor,  and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,  Assignor and Assignee
do hereby agree as follows:


         1.  Recitals.   The  above  recitals  are  true  and  correct  and  are
incorporated herein by reference.

         2.  Conditional   Assignment  of  Contract.   Assignor  hereby  grants,
bargains, sells, assigns, transfers and sets over unto Assignee the Contract for
the  purchase  of the  Property  described  therein,  together  with  all of the
Assignor's rights, privileges, duties and obligations set forth therein, subject
to and conditioned  upon Assignee's  fulfillment of all of the  requirements set
forth both herein and in the "Special  Requirements"  attached hereto as Exhibit
"B"  and  incorporated  herein  by  reference.   Assignee  hereby  accepts  this
Assignment subject to and conditioned upon Assignor's  fulfillment of all of the
requirements  set forth both herein and in the "Special  Requirements"  attached
hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.  By the execution of
this  Assignment,  Assignor  does transfer and set over unto Assignee all of its
right,  title  and  interest  in and to any  earnest  money  heretofore  paid by
Assignor under the terms of the Contract.

         3.  Consideration.  In  consideration  of Assignor's  assignment of the
Contract, Assignee shall:

                           a. pay (or  cause to be paid) to  Assignor  an amount
(the "Assignment Fee") equal to $525,000.00 in cash, or in operating partnership
units of Assignee's affiliate/subsequent assignee, or a combination of both;

                           b. pay in a timely  fashion  directly to Escrow Agent
all  deposits  required  under  the  Contract,  or  reimburse  (or  cause  to be
reimbursed) Assignor for all deposits, if any, heretofore posted or deposited by
Assignor  pursuant to the Contract,  including those with Escrow Agent (all such
amounts, collectively, the "Contract Deposits").

                           Assignee's  obligation to pay the  Assignment Fee and
to reimburse  any of the Contract  Deposits made by Assignor,  if any,  shall be
conditioned upon the closing of the Property  transfer to the Assignee under the
Contract.  If the Contract is  terminated by Assignee,  then  Assignee  shall be
under no obligation  to pay the  Assignment  Fee and Assignor  shall be under an
obligation  to return to  Assignee  the  Contract  Deposits  made by Assignee to
Escrow Agent if returned to Assignor rather than Assignee.

         4. Payment of  Consideration.  The Contract Deposits and the Assignment
Fee shall be paid by Assignee as follows:


                                        2

<PAGE>



                           a. The Contract  Deposits  shall be paid  directly to
Escrow Agent as follows:

                                    i.  $200,000.00   representing  the  Initial
Earnest  Money  under the  Contract  within  three (3)  business  days after the
Contract is executed by both parties thereto. Such Initial Earnest Money Deposit
shall be sent to Escrow Agent with  written  notice that it is sent on behalf of
Assignor  pursuant to this  Assignment  and that notice with respect to possible
return  of such  Initial  Earnest  Money  Deposit  will be sent by  Assignee  or
Assignor  pursuant to this  Assignment  if Assignee  is not  satisfied  with the
condition of the Property; and

                                    ii. $300,000.00  representing the Additional
Earnest  Money under the Contract  upon the  expiration  of the Study Period (as
defined in the Contract),  assuming  Assignee is satisfied with the condition of
the Property.

                           b. The Assignment Fee shall be payable on the closing
of the Property transfer to the Assignee under the Contract.

         5.  Termination of Assignment and Contract;  Limited Power of Attorney.
If, during the first fifteen (15) days of the Study Period,  Assignee determines
that it does not want to acquire the Property  pursuant to the Contract and this
Assignment,  Assignee shall immediately notify Assignor that Assignee desires to
terminate the Contract and this  Assignment and  thereafter  Assignor shall have
five (5) days within which either to:

         (a) pay  Assignee  the full  amount of the Initial  Earnest  Money plus
accrued  interest  held by Escrow Agent and reassume the role as Buyer under the
Contract,  including  credit for the Initial Earnest Money held by Escrow Agent;
or

         (b) notify Escrow Agent and Owner that the Assignor, as Buyer under the
Contract,  cancels the  Contract,  and request  immediate  return of the Initial
Earnest Money plus accrued interest (but less the $100.00 Fair  Consideration as
defined in the Contract) to Assignee (or if Owner or Escrow Agent  requires - to
Assignor - for immediate transfer to Assignee).

If Assignor  elects to proceed  under (a) above,  Assignee  shall sign  whatever
additional  document may be reasonably  required by Assignor or a third party to
transfer the Initial  Earnest Money left with Escrow Agent into  Assignor's name
following  or  simultaneous  with  clearance  of full  replacement  funds  being
delivered to Assignee.

Upon transfer of the Initial  Earnest Money to Assignor as provided in (a) above
or termination of the Contract as provided in (b) above,  this Assignment  shall
automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations to the
other hereunder or under the Contract.

In connection  with this  Assignment  and the Contract,  Assignor  hereby makes,
appoints  and  constitutes   Assignee  as  its  irrevocable,   true  and  lawful
attorney-in-fact,  and  grants  Assignee  a limited  power of  attorney  for the
purpose of executing any documents necessary to evidence or fulfill any

pb\gaynor\brentwdw\condass3.con

obligation of Assignor  provided or granted in this Assignment and the Contract,
including  specifically  notifying  Owner and  Escrow  Agent on its  behalf of a
termination  of the  Contract,  which  appointment  and grant is coupled with an
interest  and is  irrevocable  during  the term of the  Assignment.  Any  person
dealing with Assignee shall be entitled to rely  conclusively  on any written or
oral statement of Assignee that this limited power of attorney is in effect.


         6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Assignor.

                  (a) Assignor represents and warrants that it is a valid Oregon

Property described in the Contract and to execute this Assignment to Assignee.

                  (b) Assignor warrants that there has been no other assignment,
pledge, transfer, hypothecation, encumbrance, or other transfer of the rights of
the  Assignor  in and  to the  Contract,  and in and to the  Property  described
therein.

                  (c) Assignor represents that it knows of no conditions, either
physical or legal,  nor of any hidden defects,  which would prevent the Assignee
from  utilizing the Property to be purchased  under the Contract for the purpose
stated therein or herein.

                  (d)  Assignor  represents  and  covenants  that it will direct
Owner  immediately  to send all Property  Documents (as defined in the Contract)
and similar due diligence materials directly to Assignee for review and will, to
the  extent  required  by Owner,  execute  any  receipts  therefor  on behalf of
Assignor and Assignee.  Assignor  further  represents and covenants that it will
immediately  forward any additional Property Documents and similar due diligence
materials  sent by Owner to  Assignor  both before and after the date hereof and
will collaborate with Assignee in furnishing any response or assurance  required
by Owner with respect to the use and disposition of such material.

                  (e) All  covenants,  conditions and agreements to be performed
by Assignor  under the  Contract  have been  performed  or will be  performed as
required  therein,  except those which are not to be  performed  until after the
date hereof,  including  delivery of the Initial Earnest Money as defined in the
Contract,  which will be performed by Assignor or Assignee pursuant to the terms
of this Assignment.


         7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Assignee.

                  (a)  Assignee  represents  and  warrants  that  it is a  valid
Delaware  corporation,  in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and qualified to do business in the State of Florida,  and that Assignee has the
power and authority to execute this Assignment with Assignor and to complete the
purchase  from Owner of the Property  described in the Contract  pursuant to the

<PAGE>



                  (b) All  covenants,  conditions and agreements to be performed
by Assignor under the Contract will be performed by Assignee as required therein
and  herein,   including   disposition  of  the  Property  Documents  and  other
Confidential Information as required under the Contract.

         8. Transfer of Other  Documents.  In addition to the  assignment of the
Contract,  the Assignor does grant, bargain,  sell, assign transfer and set over
unto the Assignee  any and all other  documents  it may have  procured  from any
source  subsequent  or prior to the  execution  of the  Contract  involving  the
Property  described  therein,  including,  without  limitation,  surveys,  title
insurance, title searches or title commitments,  zoning change applications, and
any and all permits that may have been issued by any  governmental  authority in
regard to the Property described in the Contract.


         9. Transfer of Title. Assignor does hereby authorize Assignee to notify
Owner to make,  execute and deliver to Assignee a good and  sufficient  Warranty
Deed to the  Real  Property  described  in the  Contract  and an  Owner's  Title
Insurance  Policy  upon the  closing of the  Contract  as called for therein and
herein, and the parties hereto agree that said Deed shall be conveyed from Owner
to  Assignee  with the same power and effect as if  executed  between  Owner and
Assignor.

         10. Governing Law; Venue. This Assignment has been executed in part and
delivered  in the  State of  Florida  and shall be  construed  and  enforced  in
accordance with, and be governed by the laws of the State of Florida,  and shall
be enforceable,  at the option of Assignee, in a court of competent jurisdiction
in Pinellas County or Hillsborough  County,  Florida,  notwithstanding that this
Assignment  involves  a  contract  covering  property  located  in the  State of
Arizona.

         11.  Severance.  The invalidity or  unenforceability  of any portion of
this  Agreement  shall in no wise affect the remaining  provisions  and portions
hereof.

         12. Successors and Assigns;  Binding Effect. This Assignment shall bind
and inure to the benefit of the  successors  and assigns of the parties  hereto.
Assignee  specifically  reserves  the right to  further  assign  its  rights and
obligations  under this  Assignment  without the consent of  Assignor,  but with
notice to Assignor and, as needed, to Owner and Escrow Agent.

         13.  No  Recording;   Publication.  Neither  this  Assignment  nor  any
memorandum  thereof shall be recorded in the Public Records of Maricopa  County,
Arizona  or  elsewhere  without  the  prior  written  consent  of both  parties;
provided,  however,  that a copy of this  Assignment  may be  provided by either
party to Owner or Escrow  Agent (or to a third  party  who is  relying  upon the
power-ofattorney  provision herein) for purposes of confirming the assignment of
the  Contract to Assignee or the powers of Assignor  and  Assignee  hereunder to
terminate  the  Contract,  etc.,  and a copy may be filed in any  proceeding  to
enforce the terms hereof. If Assignor does not want the consideration provisions
hereof,  i.e.  paragraphs 4 and 15,  disclosed to Owner or another  third party,
Assignor  shall  deliver  two  (2)  or  more  originals  of a  modified/redacted
memorandum version of this Assignment to Assignee,  executed by Assignor, within
ten (10) days of the date hereof for execution by Assignee and use as desired by
the parties. Such modified version shall not supersede this Assignment, but

this Assignment for delivery to third parties.


         14. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, instruction or other document

         (a) The end of twenty (20) days of the Study Period (or such later date
that is five (5) days  following  written  notice from Assignee to Assignor that
Assignee does not want to acquire the Property pursuant to the Contract and this
Assignment), assuming Assignee has notified Assignor that Assignee does not want

upon  expiration  of the Study  Period  under the  Contract  and  payment of the
Additional Earnest Money by Assignee to Escrow Agent under the Contract; or
