management  or other  advice  with  respect to this  transaction  and is relying

or legal condition of the Property. Buyer hereby specifically  acknowledges that

counsel and that the  provisions of this  subsection are a material part of this
Agreement.

         presently in violation of any applicable zoning, land use or other law,
         order, ordinance, rule or regulation affecting the Real Property; or

                  (v) To the best of  Seller's  knowledge,  there are no written
         agreements  of which  Seller is a party that will  affect the  Property

effect, without an Event of Default (as defined in the Lease); and

         (d) To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no personal property.

         Section 4.2 Seller's  Covenants.  Seller  hereby  covenants  and agrees
that:

         (a) During the Contract Period,  Seller will not enter into any service
contracts  binding upon Buyer other than in the ordinary  course of business and
on terms  consistent with then current market  conditions  without Buyer's prior
approval,  which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed
given if Buyer should fail to approve or  disapprove  any  proposed  contract in
writing within five (5) working days following Seller's request for such action.

         (b) Following  expiration  of the  Inspection  Period,  Seller will not
enter into any leases for any portion of the Real Property without Buyer's prior
approval,  which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed
given if Buyer  should  fail to  approve or  disapprove  any  proposed  lease in
writing within five (5) working days following Seller's request for such action.
The cost to landlord  of any  leasing  commissions  and/or  tenant  improvements
payable in connection  with the lease of any portion of the Real Property  which
becomes  effective  at any time  during the  Contract  Period  shall be prorated
between  Buyer and  Seller,  based on the initial  term of the lease,  as of the
Closing  Date.  Buyer  shall be  responsible  for all such  costs for any leases
commencing after the Closing Date.

         (c) Between Seller's  execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date,
Seller shall  maintain the Property in the normal course of business  subject to
Seller's obligations under the Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

         (d)  Seller  shall,   without  any  cost  or  expense  to  Seller,  use
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to obtain the  Tenant  Estoppel  prior to the
Closing Date.

         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
Closing Date shall have, full power and lawful authority to enter into and carry
out the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement and to execute and deliver all
documents  which  are  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  and  (b)  all  actions
necessary to confer such power and  authority  upon the persons  executing  this
Agreement  and all  documents  which are  contemplated  by this  Agreement to be
executed on behalf of Buyer or its assignee have been taken.

         Section 4.4 Limitations. The parties agree that (a) Seller's warranties
and  representations  contained in this Agreement and in any document (including
any  certificate)  executed by Seller  pursuant to this Agreement  shall survive
Buyer's  purchase of the Property  only for a period of six (6) months after the
Closing  Date (the  "Limitation  Period"),  and (b) Buyer shall  provide  actual
written notice to Seller of any breach of such warranties or representations and
shall allow Seller  thirty (30) days within  which to cure such  breach,  or, if
such breach  cannot  reasonably  be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional
reasonable  time period up to a maximum of sixty (60) days, so long as such cure
has been  commenced  within  such thirty (30) days and  diligently  pursued.  If
Seller  fails to cure such breach after  actual  written  notice and within such
cure  period,  Buyer's  sole  remedy  shall be an action at law for damages as a
consequence thereof,  which must be commenced,  if at all, within the Limitation
Period;  provided,  however,  that if within the  Limitation  Period Buyer gives

                                       7

<PAGE>

Seller  written  notice  of such a  breach  and  Seller  commences  to cure  and
thereafter  terminates such cure effort,  Buyer shall have an additional  thirty
(30) days 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  warranties  or  representations;  and provided,  further,  notwithstanding
anything  to the  contrary  contained  in  Section  7.15  below,  and except for
Seller's intentional misrepresentation,  if Buyer obtains knowledge prior to the
Closing Date of any breach of Seller's  representations and warranties,  buyer's
sole remedy shall be to terminate  this  Agreement upon written notice to Seller
and receive a refund of Deposit.

         (b) Recording the Deed and the Assignment of Lease, in that order, and,

         (c) Paying all closing  costs and making all  prorations  in accordance
with  Sections  5.3  and  5.4 of  this  Agreement  and a  closing  statement  of
adjustments  and prorations  prepared by Title Company and approved by Buyer and
Seller prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement");

         (d)  Delivering to Buyer the Title Policy;  Title  Company's  certified
Closing  Statement;  conformed  copies of the Deed and the  Assignment  of Lease

Documents"), an original of each of the Bill of Sale, the General Assignment and
the FIRPTA Certificate and copies of all other documents  deposited into Escrow;

         Section 5.3 Closing Costs.  Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half of

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,  the cost of a standard  form owner's  policy of title  insurance and the
cost of the survey.  Buyer shall pay the recording  costs for this  transaction,
the cost of the  environmental  reports,  if any,  obtained by Buyer pursuant to
Section 2.4 above and, if Buyer  desires a policy of title  insurance  different
from that specified in Section 3.l(a)(ii) above -- for example, ALTA coverage or
any  endorsements,  Buyer  shall  pay the  extra  premium  for such  policy  and
endorsements. Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees.

         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.  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

                                       9

<PAGE>

in escrow in the amount of any deposits under the Lease 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 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 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 fifteen
(15) days after the end of the Inspection Period.

         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  Notice.  Upon  Closing,  Seller  shall  execute and
deliver  to Buyer a notice to the  tenant  under the Lease in the form  attached
hereto as Exhibit K (the "Tenant Notice").

         Section 5.8 Delivery of Original Documents. Seller agrees to deliver to
Buyer on or  immediately  following the Closing Date the original  Lease and all
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.

                                     -------

         Buyer has  previously  deposited in the escrow  established  with Title
Company  for this  transaction  cash in the  amount of  $50,000.  Within two (2)
working days following  expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall deposit
in escrow  the  additional  sum of  $50,000 in cash or  certified  funds.  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 the sale of the Property is not  consummated  because of
the failure of any  condition  or any other reason  except a default  under this
Agreement on the part of Buyer,  the Deposit plus interest accrued thereon shall
immediately be returned to Buyer. 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 retained by Seller.

         BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY  ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES IN
THE EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH OF THIS  AGREEMENT  BY BUYER  WOULD BE  DIFFICULT  OR
IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS THE PARTIES' BEST AND
MOST  ACCURATE  ESTIMATE OF THE  DAMAGES  SELLER  WOULD  SUFFER IN THE EVENT THE
TRANSACTION  PROVIDED  FOR IN THIS  AGREEMENT  FAILS TO  CLOSE,  AND  THAT  SUCH
ESTIMATE  IS  REASONABLE  UNDER THE  CIRCUMSTANCES  EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT.  BUYER AND SELLER  AGREE THAT  SELLER'S  RIGHT TO RETAIN THE  DEPOSIT
SHALL BE THE SOLE  REMEDY  OF  SELLER  AT LAW IN THE  EVENT OF A BREACH  OF THIS
AGREEMENT  BY  BUYER.  SUCH  RETENTION  OF  THE  DEPOSIT  IS NOT  INTENDED  AS A
FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT INSTEAD, IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
TO SELLER.

                             ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO:

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
Purchase Price.  The entire amount of the Deposit shall be returned  immediately
to Buyer in the event that (a) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1
above shall have been satisfied or waived,  (b) Buyer shall have performed fully
or tendered  performance  of its  obligations  hereunder and (c) Seller shall be
unable or fail to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                                  -------------

         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 Two  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($200,000),  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  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 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 (and Buyer also  warrants  to Seller's  general
partner)  that no person or entity can  properly  claim a right to a real estate

                                       12

<PAGE>

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, except for Damon Raike and Company, whose commission shall be
paid by Seller  pursuant to a separate  agreement.  Each party hereby  agrees to
indemnify and defend the other against and to hold the other  harmless from (and
Buyer also agrees to indemnify and defend  Seller's  general partner and SSR (as
defined in Section 7.14(a)(iii)) against and to hold them harmless from) any and
all loss,  cost,  liability or expense  (including but not limited to attorneys'
fees and  returned  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.  Seller or its general  partner may pay Real  Estate  Compensation  to an
Affiliate (as defined in Section 7.14(a)(i)) of SSR.

         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  term of the  Lease  (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.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Buyer  may  assign  a  portion  of its  rights
hereunder,  with  prior  written  notice to Seller  (but  without  necessity  of
Seller's  prior  written  consent),  to 309  Corp.,  a  California  corporation;
provided,  however,  in no  event  shall  Buyer  be  released  from  any  of its
obligations or liabilities hereunder.  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
sent within one (1) business day by any of the foregoing means, and addressed as

                  (ii) "Buyer  Group" shall mean Buyer and its  Affiliates,  and
         the   directors,    officers,    employees,    partners,   agents   and
         representatives of such parties;

         (b)  Restrictions  on Disclosure.  Buyer agrees that,  unless Buyer has

any of the  general  or  limited  partners  or  agents of Seller or any of their
directors,  officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors, investment managers
or  representatives.  Buyer  specifically  waives  any  right  to seek  specific

monies and documents  deposited into Escrow shall be returned to the party which

Property shall be returned and all reports, studies, analyses and tests prepared
by or for Buyer  relating to the  Property  shall  immediately  be  delivered to
Seller; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit Buyer's indemnity set
forth in Section 2.3(b) and 7.14(c) hereof.

         Section 7.17  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed in one or
more  counterparts.  All counterparts so executed shall constitute one contract,

exhibits,  which are by this reference incorporated herein, and all documents in

the  parties  and  supersede  any and all other  written or oral  understanding,
including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent.

         Section 7.19 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement,  or the
application  thereof to any person,  place, or circumstance,  shall be held by a
court of  competent  jurisdiction  to be  invalid,  unenforceable  or void,  the
remainder of this  Agreement and such  provisions  as applied to other  persons,
places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

         Section 7.21 1031 Exchange.

         (a) Seller  agrees to reasonably  cooperate  with Buyer to facilitate a
1031 exchange transaction in connection with Buyer's acquisition of the Property
(the "Exchange"),  provided that such cooperation shall be at no cost or expense
to Seller.  The  accomplishment  of the  Exchange  shall not be a  condition  to
Buyer's or any  exchange  party's  obligations  to buy the  Property  under this
Agreement ("Exchange Party"), and Exchange Party's failure to locate an exchange
property or to  consummate  the  Exchange for any reason shall in no way relieve
Buyer or Exchange  Party of their  obligation  to timely buy the  Property  from
Seller pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Seller shall have
no  obligation  to make any  representation  or  warranty  with  respect  to the
Property or otherwise  do any act or deliver any document  which could result in
Seller having any liability.

         (b) Buyer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to  Seller)  and  hold  Seller  harmless  from  any  and  all  claims,  damages,
liabilities,   losses,  costs  and  expenses,   including,  without  limitation,
attorneys'  fees and costs  (collectively,  "Losses")  suffered  or  incurred by
Seller  as a result  of or in  connection  with  Seller's  participation  in the
Exchange described herein to the extent that any such Losses would not have been
suffered or incurred if the transaction  described herein had been structured as
a direct sale rather than as an exchange.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive
beyond the Closing,  or, if the sale is not consummated,  beyond the termination
of this Agreement.



         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Buyer have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first written above.
