<PAGE>



         (a)      Payment of the Deposit (as defined below); and

         (b) The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash through the
escrow established pursuant to Section 5.1 on the Closing Date.

         Section 2.3  Buyer's Review and Seller's Disclaimer.

         (a) On or before the date of this  Agreement,  Seller has  furnished to
Buyer copies of each of the documents  described on Exhibit C hereto  pertaining
to the Property.  All of the documents  described on Exhibit C shall be provided
at Seller's sole cost and expense. By placing its initials in the space provided
below,  Buyer  acknowledges its receipt of each of the documents to be delivered
by Seller as provided in Exhibit C.

                                                    Buyer's Initials: \s\ G.B.H.
                                                                      ----------

         Buyer  shall  have a period of ten (10)  working  days from the date of
this Agreement to approve in writing all of such  documents.  Any such documents
not expressly  disapproved  by Buyer in writing  within such ten (10) day period
shall be deemed approved.

         Any  exceptions  to the Title  Report,  the  survey,  if any,  or other
documents  and  information  pertaining  to  exceptions  to title not  expressly
disapproved by Buyer in writing on or before the expiration of such ten (10) day
period shall be deemed  approved  and shall be referred to as the  "Exceptions."
Within five (5) days after any notice from Title Company identifying the need to
amend or add any exception to the Title Report, Buyer shall notify Seller of any
objections  Buyer may have to said amendment or addition,  failure to disapprove
such  amendment  or addition  shall be deemed to be  approval.  Seller shall use
reasonable  efforts  to  remove  as  matters  affecting  title  any  disapproved
exceptions  prior to the  Closing  Date,  but Seller  shall not be  required  to
institute  any  litigation  or incur any cost in excess of $10,000 to do so. If,
prior to the Closing Date,  Seller  notifies  Buyer that Seller will not or will
not be able to remove any of the disapproved  exceptions,  then, within five (5)
days after the giving of such notice by Seller,  or prior to the  Closing  Date,
whichever is earlier,  Buyer shall give Seller and Title Company written notice,
either that Buyer (I) waives its prior disapproval of the disapproved exceptions
and accepts such title as Seller is willing to convey,  or (ii)  terminates this
Agreement.

         (b) Prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, subject to any rights

Buyer desires to conduct relating to the Property including, without limitation,
the physical,  environmental,  economic and legal condition of the Property (the
"Inspections").  Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller
harmless from any and all loss, cost,  claim,  liability and expense  (including
reasonable  attorneys  fees)  arising  out of  Buyer's  activities  on the  Real
Property  during the  Inspection  Period.  Prior to expiration of the Inspection
Period, Buyer shall complete the Inspections and notify Seller in writing of its
approval  or  disapproval  of the  Property.  Failure to timely  disapprove  the
Property  in  writing  shall be deemed to be  approval  by Buyer and  constitute
Buyer's waiver of the condition set forth in Section 3.1(a)(I) below.

         (c)  Buyer  hereby  agrees  that  the  waiver  or  satisfaction  of the
conditions   set  forth  in  Section   3.1(a)(I)   below  shall   constitute  an
acknowledgment  that  Buyer  (a) has  concluded  whatever  studies,  tests,  and
investigations  Buyer  desired to conduct  relating to the  Property  including,
without  limitation,  economic  reviews and analyses,  soils tests,  engineering
analyses,  environmental  analyses and analysis of any applicable records of the
planning, building, public works or any other governmental or quasi-governmental
entity having or asserting  jurisdiction over the Property; (b) has reviewed and
read (or has elected not to do so) and has understood all instruments  affecting
the Property  and/or its value which Buyer deems  relevant,  including,  without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all documents referred to in the Title
Report and all  leases,  operating  statements,  demographic  studies and market
analyses;  (c) and its  consultants  have  made  all such  independent  studies,
analyses and investigations,  as Buyer has deemed necessary,  including, without
limitation,  those relating to environmental matters and the leasing,  occupancy
and income of the Property;  (d) is relying solely on its own  investigations as
to the Property  and its value and is assuming  the risk that adverse  physical,
economic  or  other   conditions   (including,   without   limitation,   adverse
environmental conditions (including,  without limitation,  soils and groundwater

conditions) and status of compliance with the requirements of the Americans With
Disabilities  Act of 1990 or the Fair  Housing Act of 1968,  as amended) may not
have been  revealed by such  investigation;  and (e) that Seller has given Buyer
every  opportunity  to  consider,  inspect  and review to its  satisfaction  the
physical,  environmental,  economic and legal  condition of the Property and all
files and information in Seller's  possession  which Buyer deems material to the
purchase of the Property.

         (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.1 below, Seller

releases  and  forever  discharges  Seller,  its agents,  partners,  affiliates,
successors and assigns from any and all rights,  claims and demands at law or in
equity, whether known or unknown at the time of this agreement,  which Buyer has
or may have in the future, arising out of the physical, environmental,  economic
or legal condition of the Property. Buyer hereby specifically  acknowledges that
Buyer has carefully reviewed this subsection and discussed its import with legal
counsel and that the  provisions of this  subsection are a material part of this
Agreement.

an update of Seller's  existing Phase I Environmental  Report and/or  "as-built"

Buyer shall  provide a copy of the same to Seller.  Buyer shall have through the
end of the Inspection Period to review and approve or disapprove such updated or
new report and survey.  Buyer's  failure to disapprove the updated or new report
and survey in writing prior to the end of the Inspection  Period shall be deemed
to be approval by Buyer.

         Period,  of all  physical,  environmental,  economic and legal  matters

Seller's obligation to sell the Property shall be subject to and contingent upon
the satisfaction or waiver by Seller of the following conditions precedent:

notify  Seller in writing of the failure of any of the  conditions  set forth in
Section  3.1(a)(I)  on or before the date  specified  for  satisfaction  of such
conditions  shall constitute a waiver of such condition.  In any event,  Buyer's
consent  to the close of  escrow  pursuant  to this  Agreement  shall  waive any
remaining unfulfilled conditions.

         Section  4.3  Buyer's  Warranties  and  Representations.  Buyer  hereby
represents  and  warrants to Seller that (a) Buyer and any entity to which Buyer
may assign this  Agreement  pursuant  to Section  7.4 below have,  and as of the

from the date of such termination  within which to commence an action at law for
damages as a consequence  of Seller's  failure to cure.  The  Limitation  Period
referred  to herein  shall  apply to known as well as unknown  breaches  of such

         by  1445 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and  the  regulations  issued
         thereunder  to  establish,  for the  purposes of  avoiding  Buyer's tax

         Section  5.3 Closing  Costs.  Seller  shall pay the local  governmental
documentary  transfer or  transaction  taxes or fees due on the  transfer of the
Property  from Seller to Buyer.  Seller and Buyer shall share equally the escrow
fee  charged by Title  Company.  Buyer  shall pay the  recording  costs for this
transaction.   Buyer  shall  pay  the  cost  of  the  updated  or  new  Phase  I
Environmental  Report and  "as-built"  survey  obtained  pursuant to Section 2.4
above. Seller shall pay the standard coverage portion of the premium for Buyer's
Title  Policy.  Buyer shall pay the extra  premium  for such  policy  related to
extended  coverage,  required  endorsements  and any related survey costs.  Each
party shall pay its own attorneys' fees. Any other  miscellaneous  closing costs
shall be allocated  among Seller and Buyer as is  customary in  connection  with
commercial real estate transactions in the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.

         Section 5.4  Prorations.

         (a) Real property taxes and  assessments,  personal  property taxes (if
any), rent (whether  prepaid or applicable to the current rental period) and all
other items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated
between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date; provided, however, no proration
of taxes,  assessments  or other items of expense  with  respect to the Property
shall be made with  regard to any such items paid or to be paid  directly by the
tenant  under the existing  lease.  Buyer shall be  responsible  for all leasing
commissions  and the cost to landlord  of tenant  improvements  attributable  to
periods  after the  Closing  Date for all leases  executed  during the  Contract
Period as set forth in Section 4.2(b). Buyer shall receive a credit in escrow in
the amount of any deposits  under Leases in effect on the Closing  Date,  or any
portion thereof,  which are in Seller's  possession and refundable to the tenant
as of the Closing  Date plus the amount of any prepaid rent for periods from and
after the Closing  Date.  Buyer  shall not be  entitled to any  interest on such
deposits  which may have accrued prior to the Closing Date unless such interest,
under the terms of the applicable Lease,  accrues for the benefit of the tenant.
Seller shall receive a credit in escrow for any refundable deposits and/or bonds
held by any utility,  governmental  agency or service contractor with respect to
the  Property.  Any rent  collected  by Buyer  after the  Closing  Date shall be
applied first to the then current month's rental,  and then to pay any rent then
due and owing for any period  prior to the Closing  Date,  and Buyer shall remit
such amounts  immediately upon receipt to Seller, and then to pay any rent owing
for any period after the Closing  Date.  If either Buyer or Seller  receives any
revenues  attributable  to the  period  during  which it is not the owner of the
Property,  said party shall promptly forward such amounts to the other party (if
such revenues are only  partially  attributable  to the period during which said
party is not the owner of the Property, the amount paid to the other party shall
be based upon proration as of the Closing Date as set forth above).  Buyer shall
use its best  efforts to collect  and assist  Seller in  collecting  any revenue
which is owed to Seller as of the Closing Date or which comes due thereafter.

         (b) Buyer and  Seller  shall  cooperate  to  produce  on or before  the
Closing  Date a schedule  of  prorations  which is as complete  and  accurate as
reasonably possible.  All prorations which can be reasonably estimated as of the
Closing Date shall be made in escrow on the Closing Date.  All other  prorations
and any adjustments to initial estimated prorations,  shall be made by Buyer and
Seller within thirty (30) days  following the Closing Date or such later time as
may be  required,  in the  exercise of due  diligence,  to obtain the  necessary
information  for  proration.  Any net  credit  due one party from the other as a
result of such  post-closing  prorations  and  adjustments  shall be paid to the
other  in cash  immediately  upon  the  parties'  written  agreement  to a final
schedule of post-closing adjustments and prorations.

         Section  5.5  Closing  Date.  The  Closing  Date shall  occur on a date
mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller,  which shall be not later than May 31,
1996.

         Section  5.6  Insurance.   Seller's  existing  liability  and  property
insurance  pertaining to the Property  shall be canceled as of the Closing Date,
and Seller shall receive any premium refund due thereon.

         Section 5.7 Tenant  Estoppel.  Seller shall use  reasonable  efforts to
obtain  and to  deliver  to Buyer on or  before  the  Closing  Date an  estoppel
certificate  substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K from Walmart
Stores, Inc., on behalf of the sole tenant of the Property (the "Estoppel"). The
execution and delivery to Buyer of the Estoppel  shall be a condition  precedent
to  Buyer's  obligation  to  purchase  the  Property  and close the  transaction
contemplated in this Agreement.

         Section 5.8 Delivery of Original Documents. Seller agrees to deliver to
Buyer on the Closing  Date all original  Leases,  service  contracts,  plans and
specifications,  plot plans, surveys, soils reports and other original documents
in Seller's possession pertaining to the Property.

         Section  5.9  Filing  of  Reports.   Title   Company  shall  be  solely
responsible for the timely filing of any reports or returns required pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 (and any
similar reports or returns required under any state or local laws) in connection
with the closing of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement.


                                    ARTICLE 6

                                     DEPOSIT

         Buyer has previously  deposited in the escrow  ("Deposit")  established
with Title Company for this transaction cash in the amount of $50,000.00.  Title
Company   shall   invest  all  funds  so   deposited   in  an   interest-bearing
cash-management  account reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller. The funds so
deposited  and  all  interest  thereon  are  referred  to  collectively  as  the
"Deposit." In the event that (a) the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section
3.1 above shall have been  satisfied or waived,  (b) Seller shall have performed
fully or tendered performance of its obligations hereunder,  and (c) Buyer shall
be unable or fail to perform its obligations  hereunder,  then the entire amount
of the Deposit shall be immediately paid by Title Company to Seller and retained
by Seller.

IN THE  EVENT  OF  DEFAULT  BY  BUYER  IN  THE  PERFORMANCE  OF ITS  OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT FORTHWITH AND
WITHOUT FURTHER OBLIGATION TO BUYER AND TO OBTAIN IMMEDIATE  DISBURSEMENT OF AND
TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT THEN HELD BY ESCROW HOLDER.  SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT
IS NOT  INTENDED  AS A  FORFEITURE  OR  PENALTY,  BUT  INSTEAD,  IS  INTENDED TO
CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ACTUAL
DAMAGES  WHICH  WOULD  RESULT TO SELLER  AS A RESULT  OF SUCH  FAILURE  WOULD BE
EXTREMELY  DIFFICULT  TO  ESTABLISH.  IN  ADDITION,  BUYER  DESIRES  TO  HAVE  A
LIMITATION  PUT UPON ITS  POTENTIAL  LIABILITY  TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT THIS
TRANSACTION  SHALL FAIL TO CLOSE.  BY PLACING THEIR  RESPECTIVE  INITIALS IN THE
SPACES  HEREINAFTER  PROVIDED,  THE PARTIES  ACKNOWLEDGE  THAT UPON A DEFAULT BY


                                       15

In the event  that this  transaction  is  consummated  as  contemplated  by this
Agreement,  then the entire amount of the Deposit shall be credited  against the

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 7.1  Damage or Destruction.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection  (b) below,  Buyer shall be
bound to purchase the  Property for the Purchase  Price as required by the terms
of this Agreement without regard to the occurrence during the Contract Period of
any damage to or destruction of the  Improvements  ("Contract  Period  Damage").
Buyer shall receive a credit in escrow in the amount of any  insurance  proceeds
(net of reasonable costs incurred in securing such proceeds) collected by Seller
prior to the  Closing  Date as a result of any  Contract  Period  Damage and not
expended  by  Seller on  repair,  replacement  or  restoration  of the  Property
pursuant to subsection  (c) below.  Seller  promptly  shall deliver to Buyer any
such  insurance  proceeds as shall be collected by Seller  following the Closing
Date.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if the cost of repair,  replacement
or  restoration  of the  Property  attributable  to any Contract  Period  Damage
exceeds  $150,000.00,  either  party may elect to  terminate  this  Agreement by
written  notice to the other  given  not more than ten (10) days  following  the
event of damage or  destruction  and not later than one day prior to the Closing
Date.  If the Contract  Period Damage  arises out of an uninsured  risk,  Seller
shall  elect,  by written  notice  given  within such 10- day period,  either to
terminate  this Agreement or to close escrow as  contemplated  in this Agreement

                                       16

with a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the cost of repair,  replacement
or restoration of the Property.  Upon termination of this Agreement  pursuant to
this  paragraph,  Seller shall return or cause Title  Company to return to Buyer
the  Deposit.  In the  event  neither  party  timely  elects to  terminate  this
Agreement  pursuant to this  subsection,  the provisions of subsection (a) above
shall be applicable.

         (c) Upon the occurrence of any Contract Period Damage,  Seller may, but
shall not be obligated to, use any insurance  proceeds collected with respect to
such Contract  Period  Damage to repair,  replace or restore the Property to the
extent  reasonably  feasible  prior to the Closing  Date.  Seller's  election to
commence the repair,  replacement  or  restoration  of the Property prior to the
Closing  Date shall in no way imply that Seller has made any  representation  or
warranty  with  respect to any work  performed in  connection  with such repair,
replacement or restoration ("Seller's Repairs"). The plans, materials, choice of
contractor and all other material aspects of the performance of Seller's Repairs
shall be subject to Buyer's review and approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and to the general  disclaimer set forth in Section 2.3 above.  In the
event that  Buyer does not  approve  any aspect of  Seller's  Repairs in writing
within five (5) days following  Seller's request for such approval,  Seller may,
at its option,  terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Buyer on
or before the Closing Date.

         (d)  Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement to the contrary,  the
insurance proceeds to be credited or delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section
7.1 shall exclude business  interruption or rental loss insurance  proceeds,  if
any,  allocable to the period through the Closing Date,  which proceeds shall be
retained by Seller.

         Section 7.2 Brokerage Commissions and Finder's Fees. Each party to this
Agreement  warrants  to the other  that,  except for the  commissions  mentioned
below,  no  person  or  entity  can  properly  claim  a right  to a real  estate
commission,  real estate finder's fee, real estate acquisition fee or other real
estate brokerage-type  compensation  (collectively,  "Real Estate Compensation")
based upon the acts of that party with respect to the  transaction  contemplated
by this  Agreement.  Each party hereby  agrees to indemnify and defend the other
against and to hold the other harmless from and against any and all loss,  cost,
liability or expense  (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and returned

                                       17

<PAGE>



commissions) resulting from any claim for Real Estate Compensation by any person
or entity  based upon such acts or from payment of Real Estate  Compensation  to
any person by Buyer or by any entity affiliated with Buyer.  Buyer  acknowledges
that Seller shall pay Real Estate  Compensation to Cushman & Wakefield  pursuant
to a separate written  agreement  between Seller and Cushman & Wakefield.  Buyer
further  acknowledges  that  Seller  may pay  Real  Estate  Compensation  to its
advisor, Metric Realty.

         Section 7.3  Leasing  Commissions.  Seller  shall  indemnify,  protect,
defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any leasing  commissions payable
in  connection  with the  current  terms of the Leases  (specifically  excluding
therefrom any commission for option periods, renewal periods,  extension periods
or waivers of  termination  rights or as  otherwise  provided in Section  4.2(b)
above).  Buyer shall  indemnify  and hold Seller  harmless  from and against any
other leasing commissions relating to the Property.

         Section  7.4  Successors  and  Assigns.  Buyer  shall not assign any of
Buyer's rights or duties hereunder  without the prior written consent of Seller,
which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute  discretion.
Subject to the foregoing,  this  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

         Section 7.5 Notices.  All written notices required to be given pursuant
to the terms hereof shall be either (I) personally delivered,  (ii) deposited in
the United  States mail,  registered  or  certified  return  receipt  requested,
postage prepaid,  (iii) sent by Federal Express or similar nationally recognized
overnight  courier  service,  or (iv)  transmittal by facsimile with a hard copy

forth in the Agreement.

         3. The Closing Date as defined in Section 1.1 and 5.5 of the  Agreement
is hereby extended to June 20, 1996; provided,  however,  upon written notice by
either Seller or Buyer that additional  time is reasonably  required to complete
the  contemplated  transaction,  the Closing  Date may be extended to a date not

         4. Buyer's closing condition  precedent  contained in Section 3.1(a)(i)
of the Agreement is hereby waived by Buyer.

         5. Seller's closing condition precedent contained in Section 3.1(b)(ii)

         6. Buyer hereby  acknowledges its receipt and approval of a copy of the
executed  Estoppel  and the closing  condition  contained  in Section 5.7 of the
Agreement  relating to receipt and approval of the Estoppel is hereby  waived by
Buyer subject only to (i) Seller's delivery of the original Estoppel to Buyer at
Closing,  and (ii)  Seller's  delivery  at Closing of a letter  certifying  that
Tenant  has paid rent as  required  under the lease  described  in the  Estoppel

         7. Upon Closing, the sum of $135,850 (the "Total Escrow Amount") out of
the sale proceeds otherwise due Seller upon Closing shall be deposited by Seller
with Title Company in escrow for deposit by Title Company in an interest bearing
account for post-closing  disbursement as provided  herein.  All interest earned
thereon  shall  accrue to the benefit of Seller and shall be  disbursed by Title
Company to Seller upon  termination of the escrow described in this Paragraph 7.
All fees and costs of the escrow  described in this Paragraph 7 shall be paid by
Seller.  Seller  and  Buyer  agree to  execute  such  other and  further  escrow

the  escrow  described  in  this  Paragraph  7  provided  that  such  additional
instructions  shall  not be  inconsistent  with  the  terms  contained  in  this
Paragraph  7. The  Total  Escrow  Amount  shall  be  allocated  between  two (2)

sub-escrow accounts as follows:  the sum of $27,450.00 (the "Owner's Work Escrow
Amount") shall be allocated for the work items specifically described in Exhibit
A  attached  hereto  (the  "Owner's  Work"),  and  the sum of  $108,400.00  (the
"Tenant's   Work  Escrow   Amount")  shall  be  allocated  for  the  work  items
specifically describe in Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Tenant's Work").


                  7.1 Upon the earlier of Buyer's  written  notice to Seller and
         Title  Company of the  completion  of the Owner's  Work by Buyer to the
         satisfaction  of Buyer in its sole  discretion or expiration of six (6)
         months  following the Closing,  Buyer shall be entitled to disbursement
         of the funds allocated to the Owner's Work Escrow Account in respect of
         the costs and  expenses  of Buyer  with  respect to the  Owner's  Work.
         Within five (5) days following  Buyer's request for such  disbursement,
         Title Company shall  automatically and without further notice to Seller
         disburse  to Buyer the  funds  allocated  to the  Owner's  Work  Escrow
         Account.

                  7.2 Prior to Closing, Seller shall by written notice to Tenant
         request that Tenant agree to perform and complete, and thereafter cause
         to be performed and completed, each of the individual items of Tenant's
         Work  to  Buyer's  reasonable  satisfaction.  Upon  completion  of each
         individual  item of Tenant's Work to Buyer's  reasonable  satisfaction,
         Buyer  shall  notify  Title  Company  thereof and Title  Company  shall
         automatically  and without  further  notice to Buyer disburse to Seller
         the  "Designated  Amount"  specified  in Exhibit B with  regard to such
         individual  item of Tenant's  Work. In the event that prior to Closing,
         Tenant shall actually complete an individual item of Tenant's Work, the
         Total Escrow  Amount and the Tenant's  Work Escrow Amount shall each be
         reduced by the  aggregate  total of the  "Designated  Amount"  for each
         individual item of Tenant's Work actually completed.  In the event that
         any  amounts  shall  remain  undisbursed  in the  Tenant's  Work Escrow
         Account as of November 29, 1996, Title Company shall  automatically and
         without  further  notice to Seller  disburse  to Buyer the entire  then
         remaining  balance in the Owner's  Work Escrow  Account to cover future
         costs and  expenses to be incurred in the future by Buyer with  respect
         to the Tenant's Work. 
                                                         3

          Notwithstanding  disbursement  of all or a portion  of  Tenant's  Work
          Escrow Amount to Buyer, in the event that Buyer subsequently  receives
          or recovers from Tenant all or any portion of the cost of the Tenant's
          Work  (including,  without  limitation,  damages  awarded for Tenant's
          failure to complete the Tenant's Work),  Buyer shall pay to Seller the
          amount so received or recovered  net of all  reasonable  out of pocket
          costs  and  expenses   (including,   without  limitation,   reasonable
          attorneys'  fees) incurred by Buyer in connection with such receipt or
          recovery;  provided,  however,  (i) Buyer shall have no  obligation to
          pursue  Tenant for such  payment  or  recovery,  and (ii) the  maximum
          amount to be repaid to Seller  pursuant to this  Section 7.2 shall not
          exceed the amount of the Tenant's Work Escrow Amount actually received
          by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.2.

         8.  Except as  specifically  provided  herein,  none of the  provisions
herein  contained  shall in any way be construed as a modification of any of the
terms and conditions of the Agreement, and all other terms and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

agreement and obligation of such party enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         10. This  Amendment  may be executed in one or more  counterparts.  All
counterparts so executed shall constitute one contract,  binding on all parties,
even though all parties are not signatory to the same counterpart.
