ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- -----------------------------

Carrollton Crossroads Associates, a joint venture in which First Capital Insured
Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Registrant") owns a 50% interest, sold its
interest in the real property commonly known as Carrollton Crossroads Shopping
Center (the "Property"), located in Carrollton, Georgia.

The closing of this transaction occurred on January 17, 1997. The Property was
sold to an unrelated party pursuant to arm's-length negotiations. The sale price
was $18,100,000, of which the Registrant's share was $9,050,000. Net sales
proceeds received by the Registrant approximated $8,853,200, which was net of
certain closing expenses. For the year ending December 31, 1997, the Registrant
will record a net gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately
$309,700 from this transaction. The Registrant will distribute substantially all
of the net sales proceeds from this transaction on May 31, 1997, to Limited
Partners of record as of January 17, 1997.

                             CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE
                                OF REAL PROPERTY
                                ----------------


     THIS CONTRACT ("Contract"), is made and entered into by and between
MORNINGSIDE ASSOCIATES ("Purchaser"), a Georgia general partnership, and
CARROLLTON CROSSROADS ASSOCIATES ("Seller"), a Illinois joint venture, comprised
of First Capital Institutional Real Estate, Ltd. - IV, an Illinois limited
partnership and First Capital Insured Real Estate Limited Partnership, an
Illinois limited partnership, and shall be effective as of the date on which the
last party hereto has executed this Contract (the "Effective Date").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              ------------------- 

     In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, Seller does
hereby agree to sell, and Purchaser does hereby agree to purchase, that certain
tract or parcel of real property located in Carroll County, Georgia, being
commonly known as "Carrollton Crossroads Shopping Center," located on
approximately 35.619 acres, having approximately 303,805 square feet of
buildings and being further described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorporated herein, together with all improvements thereon owned by Seller and
all easements and appurtenances thereto belonging, all tenant leases and all
fixtures, equipment and supplies and items of personal property owned by Seller
and used in the operation of Carrollton Crossroads Shopping Center, but
expressly excluding (i) personal property owned by any tenants occupying the
property under one of the tenant leases referenced above or by the property
manager of Seller, and (ii) all rights with respect to any refund of taxes
applicable to any period prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined)
(collectively, the "Property"), on the following terms and conditions:

     1.   Earnest Money.
          ------------- 

          Purchaser shall pay to Old Republic National Title Insurance Company
("Escrow Agent") pursuant to a separate "escrow letter", the form of which shall
be agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, the sum of $100,000.00 as earnest money
within three (3) business days from the execution of this Contract by each party
hereto (the "Original Earnest Money"). In the event Purchaser does not elect to
terminate this Contract pursuant to subparagraph 8(c), Purchaser shall deposit
with Escrow Agent an additional $100,000.00 ("Additional Earnest Money") on or
before the end of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined) (the Original
Earnest Money and the Additional Earnest Money shall hereafter be collectively
referred to as the "Earnest Money"). Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the
Earnest Money as provided in this Contract and invest same in an interest-
bearing account, as directed by Purchaser. All interest earned on the Earnest
Money shall be deemed part of the Earnest Money and shall belong to Purchaser,
subject to Paragraph 12.
<PAGE>
 
     2.  Purchase Price.
         -------------- 

          The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Property shall be
$18,100,000.00. Upon consummation of the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the
Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller and the balance of the $18,100,000.00
Purchase Price, plus or minus the credits, adjustments, and prorations set forth
in this Contract, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transferred
current federal funds.

     3.  Closing.
         ------- 

          (a) The purchase and sale hereunder shall be closed on that date which
is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period at the offices
of Glass, McCullough, Sherrill & Harrold, LLP, 3414 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite
450, Atlanta, Georgia 30326-1162, at 10:00 o'clock a.m. or on such earlier date
as designated by Purchaser ("Closing"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser
may, at its sole option, elect to extend the date of Closing for an additional
thirty (30) days upon notice to Seller delivered prior to the original date set
for Closing, together with the payment to Escrow Agent of an additional
$100,000.00 Earnest Money deposit, which shall be held and disbursed in
accordance with Paragraph 1 above. At Closing, Seller shall pay State of Georgia
transfer taxes on the limited warranty deed. Purchaser shall pay its title
examination costs, title insurance premiums, surveyor's fees, the cost of
recording the limited warranty deed, its appraisal fees and engineering fees.
Seller and Purchaser shall each pay their respective attorneys' fees and escrow
fees shall be divided and paid equally by Seller and Purchaser. Ad valorem
taxes, rents, and all other items of income and expense in connection with the
operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, common area
maintenance charges, insurance premiums and utility charges shall be prorated
between Seller and Purchaser as of 12:00 midnight of the day immediately
preceding the day of Closing and shall be, as applicable, deducted from or added
to the Purchase Price payable to Seller at Closing. In the event that at the
time of Closing, the Property is subject to or affected by any special or
general assessments, then in such event, any amounts which are due and payable
on or before Closing shall be paid in full at Closing by Seller. Subject to the
foregoing, ad valorem taxes will be prorated at Closing on the basis of the most
recent tax bills, or, if available, based on the current year's valuation or
assessment and the last known millage rate, but if the actual taxes for the year
of Closing are more or less than the amount prorated, then, upon demand, such
taxes shall be re-prorated to reflect the actual amount of taxes due for the
calendar year in which the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this subparagraph 3(a), Seller reserves the rights to (i)
meet with governmental officials and to contest any reassessment governing or
affecting Seller's obligation with respect to ad valorem property taxes paid by
or on behalf of Seller, and (ii) to contest any assessment of the Property or
any portion thereof and to attempt to obtain a refund for any taxes previously
paid. Seller shall retain all rights with respect to any refund of ad valorem
taxes applicable to any period prior to the date of Closing. In
<PAGE>
 
addition to the prorations set forth above, should Seller receive any refund of
taxes, Seller agrees to re-prorate such taxes if any tenant at the Property
becomes entitled to a refund or additional rent credit for any period during
which Seller owned the Property pursuant to the terms of its lease. Purchaser
agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents, percentage rent or other
payments by tenants under the tenant leases that are due to Seller for the
period prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided
that, such tenant is current in the payment of its rent, percentage rent and
other charges and not otherwise in default of its lease. Purchaser shall
cooperate with Seller and shall use reasonable diligence to collect any
delinquent rent, percentage rent or other charges due by tenants under the
tenant leases for the period prior to Closing, but Purchaser shall not be
required to institute any action or proceeding to collect same or incur any
other cost or expense in connection therewith. Seller, at Seller's expense and
after notice to Purchaser, shall be entitled to institute an action against any
tenant for the recovery of delinquent rent, percentage rent or other charges due
to Seller. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for Purchaser's pro rata
portion of the rents payable for the month of Closing, but which are received by
Seller prior to Closing. Percentage rent shall be prorated between Purchaser and
Seller upon receipt in the ratio of the number of months each owned the Property
to the total number of months for the percentage rent or overage year for each
tenant. Any percentage rent which is collected by Purchaser which pertains to
that portion of the lease year or the accounting period of a tenant for the
period prior to the Closing and ends thereafter shall be paid to Seller in the
month of receipt by Purchaser. Seller's portion shall be computed by multiplying
the annual percentage rent paid by tenant for its lease year or annual
accounting period that begins prior to the Closing and ends thereafter by a
fraction, the numerator of which fraction shall be the number of days from the
beginning of tenant's lease year or annual accounting period to the Closing and
the denominator of which fraction shall be the actual number of days in such
lease year or accounting period. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in
an amount equal to all security deposits and escrow deposits, last month's rent
payments collected in advance, together with a list of same certified to by
Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any
claim made or asserted by any tenant with respect to such credited sum. With
respect to tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions incurred by Seller
with respect to new leases or any modification, expansion, extension or renewal
of existing leases, at the Property entered into after the Effective Date but
prior to the Closing in compliance with the provisions of subparagraph 5(c) of
this Contract, such costs and commissions will be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser over the term of such lease with Seller being responsible for that
portion of such costs and commissions which is equal to the ratio of base rent
payments received from such tenant through the Closing to the total base rent
payable over the term of such lease, renewal, expansion, extension or
modification. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, from and after the
Effective Date, Seller agrees not to renew, extend, expand or modify any
existing lease affecting the Property in effect as of the Effective Date, unless
such lease has a lease expiration date prior to February 1, 1997. In the event
the expiration of any such lease has an expiration date prior to February 1,
1997, Seller's extension, expansion, renewal or modification
<PAGE>
 
thereof shall be governed by subparagraph 5(c). To the extent practicable,
Seller shall obtain final utility meter readings as of the day prior to Closing,
and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any of such bills unpaid as
of the date of Closing, prorated for the month of Closing, if applicable. Seller
shall deliver possession of the Property to Purchaser immediately upon Closing.

          (b) At the Closing each party hereto shall execute and deliver all
documents necessary to effect and complete the Closing, including, but not
limited to, the following documents to be executed and delivered by Seller to
Purchaser:

               (i)    A limited  warranty deed from Seller conveying good and
     marketable fee-simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens,
     restrictions and encumbrances, other than the Permitted Title Exceptions

     in the limited warranty deed shall be that set forth on Exhibit A;

               (ii)   An owner's affidavit, which affidavit shall be in form and
     substance satisfactory to said title insurance company and sufficient to

     policy without exception for standard exceptions, including, but not
     limited to, matters filed in the county property records prior to
     recordation of the limited warranty deed, un-filed mechanics' liens and
     broker liens arising under O.C.G.A. Sections 44-14-600, et. seq. and
     stating that the Property is free from all claims to  possession of the
     Property except those claims arising under the leases set forth in the Rent
     Roll (hereinafter defined);

               (iii)  An affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to
     Purchaser, stating Seller's U.S. taxpayer identification number, that

     Section 1445 (f) (3) and Section 7701(g), and that the purchase of the
     Property by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the
     withholding requirements of Section 1445 (a) of the Code;

               (iv)   Instruments reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser
     reflecting the proper authority of Seller to consummate the transactions
     contemplated by this Contract;

               (v)    An affidavit of gain and withholding in conformance with
     the requirements of O.C.G.A. Section 48-7-128;

               (vi)   An assignment of leases ("Assignment of Leases") from
     Seller conveying all right, title and interest of landlord in and to the
     leases for those tenants set forth on the Rent Roll (as hereinafter
     defined), excluding all those tenant leases which
<PAGE>
 
     shall terminate prior to Closing and including all those tenant leases
     entered into by Seller (subject to Purchaser's approval to the extent
     required under this Contract) from and after the date hereof, up to and
     including the date of Closing;

               (vii)  An Indemnification Agreement providing that Seller shall
     indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless with respect to any liability or
     claims for personal injury and/or property damage, asserted by parties
     other than Purchaser arising from events occurring on or about the Property
     prior to Closing;

               (viii) A bill of sale from Seller conveying all right, title and
     interest of Seller in and to all equipment, personal property, and fixtures
     owned by Seller and used in the operation of the Property;

               (ix)   A general assignment of all right, title and interest, if
     any, of Seller in and to the name "Carrollton Crossroads Shopping Center";
     all warranties and guaranties presently in effect with respect to the
     Property, which are assignable; the service contracts set forth on Exhibit
     "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein, and Seller shall indemnify and

     Closing and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller with respect to all claims for
     Purchaser's non-payment, if any, occurring under such contracts for the

     the same are assignable and so long as Seller receives a credit from
     Purchaser for such deposits; all certificates of occupancy, operating
     permits and approvals given or made by governmental authorities with

     Property in the possession of Seller (the "Assignment of Contracts");

<PAGE>
 
     arising from or in connection with the untruth or inaccuracy set forth in

     6.   Title Objections.
          ---------------- 

          (a) To and including that day which is thirty (30) days following the
Effective Date (the "Initial Examination Period"), Purchaser may examine title
to the Property and obtain a commitment for title insurance (the "Title
Commitment") and notify Seller of any encumbrances, exceptions or matters
appearing on the Title Commitment rendering title unmarketable as of the date
thereof, other than the Existing Title Exceptions, and Purchaser shall
<PAGE>
 
provide a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller within a reasonable period of
time after receipt thereof by Purchaser. Following the Effective Date, Seller
agrees not to further voluntarily encumber the Property without the prior
written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
For purposes of this Contract, the marketability of title to the Property shall
be determined under Georgia law, as supplemented by the title standards of the
State Bar of Georgia. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of any objections,
other than the Existing Title Exceptions, to the marketability of title
disclosed by the Title Commitment prior to the end of the Initial Examination
Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the state of title as of the
date of this Contract, subject to subparagraph 6(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, Seller agrees to pay, discharge and cause to be canceled of
record prior to Closing any security deed, mortgage or related loan documents
entered into by Seller (or otherwise satisfy Purchaser's title insurance company
so that such title insurance company will eliminate same as an exception to
Purchaser's Owner's Title Insurance Policy). Seller also agrees to cause
Purchaser's title insurance company to insure or endorse over any judgments for
monetary damages or material or mechanic liens, but only to the extent that such
title insurance company is willing to insure or endorse over any and all such
judgments and liens based solely on Seller's entering into a title indemnity
agreement with such title company where Seller's liability thereunder is
expressly limited to no more than $100,000 in the aggregate, escrowed with such
title company. If Seller does not correct any of Purchaser's objections within
fifteen (15) business days from receipt of such notice and in the manner set
forth above or notify Purchaser, within such time period, that such objections
will be cured at the Closing and so cure same by or at Closing, then, at the
option of Purchaser, evidenced by written notice to Seller given within five (5)
days after the expiration of said period or failure to cure, Purchaser shall:

               (i) waive Purchaser's objection and purchase the Property (or
     such portion thereof or interest therein as Seller is able to convey),
     without any reduction in the Purchase Price;

               (ii) decline to purchase the Property and receive the return of
     the Earnest Money, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder; or

               (iii) seek specific performance in order to require Seller to
     completely fulfill its obligations under this Contract; provided, that,
     such action is brought within forty-five (45) days from the expiration date
     by which such failure, default, or breach should have been cured.

     (b) After the Initial Examination Period but prior to the Closing,
Purchaser may from time to time make additional examinations of Seller's title
to the Property and notify Seller of any objections to the marketability of
Seller's title arising from and after the effective date of the Title
Commitment. If Seller fails to cure any of such objections of Purchaser, then at
the
<PAGE>
 
option of the Purchaser, Purchaser shall have its choice of the elections
provided in subparagraph 6(a) with respect to the initial examination; provided,
however, if any such subsequent objection to the marketability of Seller's title
arose or was created in breach of Seller's agreements under subparagraph 6(a)
hereof, then Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Contract against
Seller.

     (c) As used in this Contract, the term "Permitted Title Exceptions" shall
refer to the Existing Title Exceptions and to those title objections or
exceptions affecting the marketability of title to the Property and which (i)
were not objected to by Purchaser within the time provided in subparagraph 6(a)
hereof, or (ii) were waived by Purchaser pursuant to subparagraph 6(a)(i)
hereof, or (iii) were waived by Purchaser pursuant to subparagraph 6(b) hereof.

     7.   Survey.
          ------ 

          Until the end of the Initial Examination Period, Purchaser, at
Purchaser's expense, shall have the right to have boundary and topographical
surveys of the Property prepared by a surveyor satisfactory to Purchaser and to
the specifications and requirements of Purchaser (the "Survey") and to object to
any matter affecting the Property disclosed by the Survey by providing notice of
such objections and a copy of the Survey to Seller. If Purchaser notifies Seller
of any objections based on the Survey, Seller shall be permitted to correct any
such objections within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. If Seller does
not correct such objections within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice or
warrant and covenant to Purchaser [within said ten (10) day period] that such
objections will be cured at the Closing and so cure same at Closing, then, at
the option of Purchaser, evidenced by written notice to Seller given within five
(5) days after the expiration of said period or failure, Purchaser shall:

               (i)    waive Purchaser's objection and purchase the Property (or
     such portion thereof or interest therein as Seller is about to convey),
     without any reduction in the Purchase Price;

               (ii)   decline to purchase the Property; or

               (iii)  seek specific performance in order to require Seller to
     completely fulfill its obligations under this Contract; provided, that,
     such action is brought within forty-five (45) days from the expiration date
     by which such failure, default or breach should have been cured.

     In the event that such survey discloses a legal description of the Property
which differs from that described in Exhibit A hereto, Seller shall at the
request of Purchaser, execute, seal, and deliver at Closing a quitclaim deed in
recordable form conveying the Property as

<PAGE>

described by said survey. From and after the Effective Date, Seller covenants
and agrees not to voluntarily cause an encroachment upon the Property or upon
any adjoining property.

     8.   Inspection.
          ---------- 

          (a) During the term of this Contract, Purchaser and its agents,
engineers, surveyors, appraisers, engineers and other representatives shall have
the right, during normal business hours and with twenty-four (24) hours
telephonic notice to Seller via Jeff Aronoff at (312) 466-3694 (after first
giving notice within business hours), to enter upon the Property to inspect,
examine, survey, obtain engineering inspections, soil samples and borings,
appraise, and otherwise do that which, in the opinion of Purchaser, is necessary
to determine the boundaries, acreage and condition of the Property for the uses
intended by Purchaser. Provided however, Purchaser must obtain the consent of
Seller via Jeff Aronoff at the above number prior to obtaining soil samples and
borings, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disturbance to the tenants
at the Property caused by its presence. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
Seller harmless from any loss, cost, damage or claim caused by Purchaser's
foregoing tests, surveys and inspections.

          (b) Seller agrees to make all of Seller's books, files and records
(other than Seller's confidential analyses and forecasts) relating in any way to
the Property available for examination by Purchaser and Purchaser's agents and
representatives, who shall have the right to make copies of such books, files
and records and to extract therefrom such information as they may desire.

          (c) Seller acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, Purchaser has not
completed Purchaser's inspection of the Property and the books and records
pertaining thereto, the title encumbrances affecting the Property and certain
other matters pertaining to the Property, and, accordingly, does hereby grant to
Purchaser the right to terminate this Contract for any reason whatsoever, at any
time on or before forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, as the same may
be extended pursuant to subparagraph 5(c) (the "Inspection Period"), by
delivering written notice of such termination to Seller and Escrow Agent. In the
event of such termination, Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest
Money to Purchaser, less $100.00 which shall be paid to Seller in consideration
of Seller's entering into this Contract and shall make this Contract binding on
Seller even if certain provisions hereof are not binding on Purchaser or are to
be performed within the Purchaser's control or discretion, whereupon no party
hereto shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder.
Seller and Purchaser hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that nothing
contained in this subparagraph 8(c) shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect
Seller's warranties, representations and covenants contained elsewhere in this
Contract, or any of the rights or remedies provided to Purchaser in this
Contract.

     9.   Casualty and Condemnation.
          ------------------------- 

          (a)  If the Property, or any portion thereof, is damaged, destroyed
or rendered inoperable by casualty prior to the Closing, then, at the option of
Purchaser, (i) this Contract shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall
immediately be returned to Purchaser, and whereupon no party hereto shall have
any further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder, or (ii) this Contract
shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller, at the time of Closing
hereunder, shall transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title
and interest in and to any insurance proceeds received or to be received by
reason of such damage or destruction, said option to be exercisable by Purchaser
by delivering to Seller written notice of such exercise on or before the
fifteenth (15th) day following the date on which Purchaser receives from Seller
written notice of such damage or destruction, but in no event later than the
date of Closing hereunder. If Purchaser fails to exercise said option within
said fifteen (15) day period, then, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected
the alternative set forth in subparagraph 9(a)(ii), above. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this subparagraph 9(a), if the repair costs of such
casualty damage is less than the $500,000.00, this Contract shall remain in full
force and effect, and Purchaser shall be obligated to proceed, subject to the
other terms of this Contract, with the purchase of the Property, without a
reduction of the Purchase Price; provided, Purchaser is reimbursed by Seller at
Closing for the full amount necessary to repair and replace such damage.

          (b) If, at any time prior to the Closing hereunder, any action or
proceeding is filed or threatened, under which the Property, or any portion
thereof, may be taken pursuant to any law, ordinance or regulation or by
condemnation or the right of eminent domain, then, at the option of Purchaser
(i) this Contract shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall immediately be
returned to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have any further rights,
liabilities or obligations hereunder, or (ii) this Contract shall remain in full
force and effect, and Seller, at the time of Closing hereunder, shall transfer
and assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any
proceeds received or which may be received by reason of such taking, or a sale
in lieu thereof, said option to be exercisable by Purchaser by delivering to
Seller written notice of such exercise on or before the fifteenth (15th) day
following the date on which Purchaser receives from Seller written notice that
such suit has been filed or is threatened, but in no event later than the date
of Closing hereunder. If Purchaser fails to exercise said option within said
fifteen (15) day period, then, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the
alternative set forth in subparagraph 9(b)(ii), above.

     10.  Conditions to Closing.
          --------------------- 

          (a)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
obligations of Purchaser hereunder are expressly made subject to the following:

               (i)   The truth and accuracy, as of the date of this Contract and
     as of the date of Closing hereunder, of each and every warranty or
     representation made herein by Seller and the fulfillment by Seller of each
     and every covenant and agreement of Seller pursuant to or arising under
     this Contract; and

               (ii)   The delivery by Seller to Purchaser, on or before the date
     of Closing, of the documents described in subparagraphs 3(b)(i) through
     (xiii), all properly completed and executed in form acceptable to
     Purchaser; and

               (iii)  As of the Closing, Buyer must be able to obtain an Owner's
     Policy of Title Insurance, ALTA Form 1990, issued by Old Republic National
     Title Insurance Company, insuring Purchaser's interest in the Property in
     the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted
     Exceptions, obtainable by Purchaser pursuant to the Title Commitment at no
     greater than standard rates, without the "standard" exceptions and without
     any requirement for any indemnification or other non-standard undertaking
     on the part of Purchaser or any other person or entity; and

               (iv)   The delivery by Seller to Purchaser, on or before five (5)
     days prior to the date of Closing, of Tenant Estoppel Certificates
     executed and delivered by each of the tenants of the Property substantially
     in the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto and incorporated herein ("Tenant
     Estoppel Certificate"); said Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be dated
     within thirty (30) days prior to the date of Closing, but in no event prior
     to the first (1st) day of the month of Closing hereunder; in the event a
     tenant lease is guaranteed, the "Guarantor" portion of such Tenant Estoppel
     Certificate shall be signed by such guarantor, reaffirming that its
     guaranty remains in full force and effect. For purposes of this
     subparagraph, a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Landlord Estoppel
     Certificate (hereinafter defined) may be deemed unacceptable by Purchaser
     if the tenant is unable to affirmatively certify the representations set
     forth in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate or if such certificate sets forth
     the existence of a default under any tenant lease by either the tenant
     (other than a default by a tenant which is solely limited to the non-
     payment of rent not caused in whole or in part by any act or omission by
     Landlord) or the landlord or alleges the non-performance by the landlord of
     any obligation to the tenant under its lease, or if such certificate is not
     in conformity with the information set forth in the Rent Roll; provided,
     that, the inability to confirm the statements set forth in Section 6 of
     Exhibit "G" shall not render such Tenant Estoppel Certificate unacceptable.
<PAGE>
 
     Subject to Seller obtaining Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Major
     Tenants (as hereinafter defined), if Seller is unable to obtain Tenant
     Estoppel Certificates from one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining
     tenants and guarantors (exclusive of the Major Tenants) which satisfy the
     requirements of this subparagraph, but is able to obtain Tenant Estoppel
     Certificates from tenants representing eighty percent (80%) of the rentable
     and occupied square footage at the Property, in addition to Tenant Estoppel
     Certificates from the Major Tenants, then Seller shall deliver a landlord
     estoppel certificate ("Landlord Estoppel Certificate") in form and
     substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser confirming the accuracy of
     the information set forth in the Rent Roll and addressing the matters set
     forth in said Exhibit "G" with respect to such remaining tenants as well as
     for the Major Tenants for which Tenant Estoppel Certificates have not been
     provided (subject to Purchaser's waiver of such Major Tenant, Tenant
     Estoppel Certificate requirement, in Purchaser's sole and absolute
     discretion), in which event the Tenant Estoppel Certificate requirement of
     such tenant or occupant shall be deemed to have been satisfied; provided
     however, that notwithstanding anything stated in the foregoing to the
     contrary, it shall be a condition of Closing (subject to Purchaser's waiver
     of such requirement in its sole and absolute discretion) that Seller
     deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate executed by each of the following
     major tenants: Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney, Kroger, Goody's, Cato Fashions,
     Famous Footwear, Its Fashions, Maurices, Valentionos and Sun Trust Bank
     (the "Major Tenants"). If Seller delivers a Landlord Estoppel Certificate
     with respect to any tenant or guarantor which it is permitted to do so for
     under this subsection, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless
     from an inaccuracy stated therein or any breach under such lease by
     landlord or tenant, which indemnification shall survive the Closing until
     the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Closing, except that such
     indemnification obligations shall survive with respect to the subject
     matter of any legal action or proceeding brought by Purchaser against
     Seller for such inaccuracy or breach within six (6) months from the date of
     Closing, or (ii) as otherwise provided in the following sentence. If a
     Tenant Estoppel Certificate is delivered to Purchaser after the Closing
     meeting the requirements of this subsection or should Purchaser enter into
     a written lease modification executed by Seller and such tenant, the
     Landlord Estoppel Certificate delivered with respect to such tenant shall
     automatically be deemed null and void and Purchaser shall return the same
     to Seller. Seller shall complete the information on the Tenant Estoppel
     Certificates (i.e., name, address, premises description, etc.) and
     circulate same to all the tenants at the Property. Seller shall be
     permitted after Closing to continue to deal with any such tenant or
     guarantor who has not delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate to attempt to
     obtain such a certificate from such tenant, and Purchaser shall reasonably
     cooperate with Seller in such attempt, at no cost to Purchaser.

<PAGE>
 
     The foregoing conditions (a)(i) through (iv) set forth immediately above
must be met without exception, reservation, or allegation or claim of default or
incomplete performance of an obligation to be performed, and are imposed solely
for the benefit of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right to waive any of
said conditions by written notice of said waiver to Seller.

     11.  Brokerage.
          --------- 

          Purchaser and Seller each represent and warrant to the other that they
have dealt with no brokers other than Ben Carter Associates ("Broker"). Seller
shall pay Broker a real estate commission with regard to the sale contemplated
herein, in the event such sale closes, pursuant to a separate commission
agreement, and Seller does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Purchaser harmless
from and against any and all causes, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, fees,
commissions, settlements, judgments, damages, expenses and fees (including
attorneys' fees and court costs) in connection with any claim for commissions,
fees, compensation or other charges relating in any way to this transaction, or
the consummation thereof, which may be made by any person, firm or entity,
including, but not limited to, Broker, as the result of any of Seller's acts or
the acts of Seller's representatives. Purchaser does hereby indemnify and agree
to hold Seller harmless from and against any and all causes, claims, demands,
losses, liabilities, fees, commissions, settlements, judgments, damages,
expenses and fees (including attorneys' fees and court costs) in connection with
any claim for commissions, fees, compensation or other charges relating in any
way to this transaction, or the consummation thereof, which may be made by any
person, firm, or entity (other than Broker) as the result of any of Purchaser's
acts or the acts of Purchaser's representatives.

     12.  Application of Earnest Money and Remedies.
          ----------------------------------------- 

          (a) Upon the Closing of the purchase and sale hereunder, the Earnest
Money shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller and applied to and credited
against the Purchase Price.

          (b) If the purchase and sale contemplated under this Contract is not
closed (i) by reason of Seller's default hereunder, or (ii) because any warranty
or representation made herein by Seller proves untrue and is not waived by
Purchaser, then, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect either (w) to decline the
Property and receive the return of the Earnest Money as Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedy hereunder, or (x) seek specific performance of this Contract by
Seller; provided, that, such action is commenced within the later of forty-five
(45) days from: (y) the date originally set for Closing, or (z) if the Closing
is extended pursuant to subparagraph 3(a), such date of Closing, as so extended.

          (c) If the purchase and sale contemplated under this Contract is not
closed by reason of Purchaser's default hereunder, then, as full liquidated
damages for such default by

<PAGE>
 
Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall immediately pay the Earnest Money to Seller
pursuant to the procedures set forth in the escrow letter entered into by the
parties under Paragraph 1 of the Contract, whereupon no party hereto shall have
any further rights, liabilities or obligations under this Contract, it being
specifically understood and agreed that payment of the Earnest Money to Seller,
as liquidated damages, shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder,
Seller hereby specifically waiving and relinquishing any and all other remedies
at law or in equity. The retention of the Earnest Money by Seller is the
parties' best estimate of the damages suffered by Seller as a result of
Purchaser's breach of this Contract and is not a penalty.

          (d) Subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(a)(iv) with
regard to Landlord Estoppel Certificates, if the purchase and sale contemplated
under this Contract is closed, Purchaser shall have the right to avail itself of
any and all remedies in law or equity under the laws of the State of Georgia for
any breach or default by Seller of this Contract; provided, that, with respect
to any inaccurate representation or warranty given Seller in subparagraph 5(b)
through (i), such action for inaccurate representation or warranty must be
commenced within six (6) months after the date of Closing.

     13.  Notices.
          ------- 

          All notices and elections permitted or required to be made under this
Contract shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice or election
and shall be delivered personally, or sent by courier service (such as Federal
Express) or registered or certified mail to the other party hereto. The earlier
of the date of personal delivery or the date of mailing or delivery to a courier
service shall be the date of such notice or election. It is hereby expressly
understood and agreed that in the event any date on which notice is required to
be made hereunder falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then the date
on which such notice or election is required to be given or made hereunder shall
for all purposes, be deemed to be the next business day.

     14.  Miscellaneous.
          ------------- 

          This Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Seller and Purchaser, their respective successors, successors-in-title, legal
representatives and heirs, and with respect to assigns, to the extent permitted
hereunder. This Contract shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Georgia. If any provision hereof is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision hereof. This Contract contains the
entire agreement of the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and
no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, not
expressly set forth herein shall be of any force or effect. This Contract may
not be modified except by written modification, executed by all parties hereto.
Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Contract, or any interest herein,
to any affiliate, or pursuant to Paragraph 15 of this Contract without the prior
written consent of Seller. In the event of any such assignment and the
assumption by such assignee of Purchaser's obligations under this Contract,
Seller shall thereafter look solely to such assignee for the performance of all
obligations imposed upon Purchaser under this Contract; provided, however, that
Seller can look to Purchaser for any claims connected to the indemnification
provided by Purchaser under subparagraph 8(a) of this Contract. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Contract, and without in any manner
whatsoever affecting Purchaser's rights hereunder, in the event Seller fails to
perform any covenant or obligation of Seller hereunder within the time permitted
or required for such performance, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion

<PAGE>
 
and upon written notice to Seller, extend the time for performance by Purchaser
of any or all of its covenants or obligations hereunder, including, without
limitation, the date by which Purchaser is required or permitted to give any
notice to Seller; provided, however, that no such extension shall exceed the
number of days that Seller has delayed performance of its covenants and
obligations hereunder. All titles or captions of the paragraphs set forth in
this Contract are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and
in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Contract, or the
intent of any provision hereof. Time is of the essence of this Contract. Neither
party hereto shall disclose the terms and conditions of this Contract to any
other party without the written consent of the other, except to those parties
acting in a fiduciary capacity (i.e., legal representatives, financial
institutions, authorized agents, partners, shareholders directors, officers,
etc.).

     15.  Like-Kind Exchange.
          ------------------ 

          Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may transfer the Property or assign
this Contract to a third-party as part of a "like-kind exchange" pursuant to (S)
1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that Purchaser shall
have the right to designate such third-party and Seller shall execute and
deliver the limited warranty deed and other Closing documents described herein
to said third-party at Purchaser's election, and all representations and
warranties of Seller shall thereafter inure to the benefit of such third party.
Purchaser shall be responsible for any additional costs and expenses, if any
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees), incurred by Seller
as a result of the transfer of the Property to a third party pursuant to this
Paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
Purchaser's obligations under this Contract shall in no way be affected by the
inability of Purchaser to close on any additional properties which may be a part
of such "like-kind exchange." Purchaser shall have the right at any time to
assign this Contract to a third party upon written notice to Seller as required
to accomplish a 1031 exchange. If such an assignment is made, the transactions
contemplated by this Contract shall be (at Purchaser's election) consummated in
the name of such assignee, who shall succeed to all of the rights, obligations
and liabilities of Purchaser hereunder.
