                  (2)      Evidence  of  its  capacity  and  authority  for  the

                  Land and  Improvements  subject only to the  standard  printed
                  exceptions  contained  in the  usual  form  of  Title  Policy,
                  non-delinquent  real property taxes and assessments,  Approved

                  satisfy itself as to the availability of all such coverage and
                  Title  Company's  commitment to issue such  coverage  prior to
                  expiration  of  the   Inspection   Period.   Title   Company's
                  unwillingness  or  inability  to issue,  at closing,  a policy
                  (other  than the  Title  Policy),  or any of the  endorsements
                  requested by Buyer and agreed to by Title  Company  during the
                  Inspection  Period,  shall  not  constitute  a  failure  of  a
                  condition  precedent excusing Buyer's  performance  hereunder,
                  unless  such  unwillingness  or  inability  on the part of the
                  Title  Company is owing to some  condition  of title which had
                  not been  disclosed  to Buyer prior to the  expiration  of the
                  Inspection  Period and which materially  adversely affects the
                  condition of title to the Property.

         D.       In addition to the items to be  delivered by Seller at Closing
                  as described in Paragraph 6(A) above,  it shall be a condition
                  precedent  to Buyer's  obligation  to close this  transaction,

                  and  assigns or (b) the  Indemnification  Letter  reissued  by
                  Circle K in favor of Buyer and its successors and assigns;  --
                  (iii) subject to the  provisions  of Paragraph  6(C) above and
                  the limitations of Paragraph 12 below, the Title Policy;  (iv)
                  the Survey (as defined  below) with no changes from that which
                  is approved  (or deemed to be  approved)  by Buyer  during the
                  Inspection  Period,  certified to Brauvin Capital Trust,  Inc.
                  and the Title Company,  and (v) (a) the Phase I  Environmental
                  Site Assessment (to be updated at Buyer's election)  addressed
                  to  Brauvin  Capital  Trust,  Inc.,  or (b) a letter  from the
                  applicable  environmental  firm which prepared such assessment
                  for Seller stating that the same may be relied upon by Brauvin
                  Capital Trust, Inc. Seller shall make commercially  reasonable
                  efforts to obtain the items  described in clauses (i) and (ii)
                  of this  Paragraph  6(D) and shall  reasonably  cooperate with
                  Buyer's  efforts  to obtain  the items  described  in  clauses
                  (iii),  (iv) and (v) of this Paragraph 6(D).  Seller shall not
                  be, or be deemed  to be,  in  breach of this  Contract  in the

                  of the items described in this Paragraph  6(D). If,  following
                  the  expiration  of the  Inspection  Period,  the  transaction
                  contemplated  hereby  fails to close owing solely to a failure
                  of one or more of the  conditions  precedent set forth in this
                  Paragraph 6(D) to be satisfied,  then Buyer may terminate this
                  Contract,  the  Deposit  shall be  returned to Buyer and Buyer
                  shall be entitled to recover  from Seller its  reasonable  and
                  substantiated  out of pocket  expenses  incurred in connection
                  with this transaction up to a maximum of $7,500.00.

         7.       FEASIBILITY  STUDY AND INSPECTION.  Prior to expiration of the
                  Inspection  Period (as  defined  below),  Buyer shall have the
                  right, at its sole cost and expense, to review and copy all of
                  Seller's  non-privileged  and  non-confidential  documents and
                  information  relating to the  operation  or  condition  of the
                  Property and to conduct whatever inspections,  studies,  tests
                  and  investigations  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 have through 5 P.M. on that
                  date which is the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective
                  Date of this  Contract  ("Inspection  Period") to perform such
                  Inspections and in this regard, Buyer or his designated agents
                  may  enter  upon  the  Property  upon  reasonable   notice  at
                  reasonable  times for  purposes  of such  analysis,  tests and
                  inspections  which may be deemed  necessary by Buyer. If Buyer
                  determines,  in his sole  judgment,  that the  Property is not
                  suitable  for any reason for Buyer's  intended use or purpose,
                  or is  not in  satisfactory  condition,  then  Buyer  may,  by
                  written notice to Seller  ("Disapproval  Notice") on or before
                  the end of the first  business day following the expiration of
                  the  Inspection  Period,   terminate  this  Contract  for  all
                  purposes (except as otherwise  specifically  provided herein).
                  If Buyer does not timely give the Disapproval  Notice, any and
                  all  objections  with  respect to the  Inspections  and to the
                  condition and  suitability  of the Property shall be deemed to
                  have been waived by Buyer for all  purposes.  In the event the
                  transaction  contemplated  in this  Contract  shall not close,
                  through no fault of Seller,  Buyer shall  restore the Property
                  to its  original  condition,  if changed  due to the tests and
                  inspections  performed by Buyer, and shall provide Seller with
                  a copy of the  results  of any tests and  inspections  made by
                  Buyer,  excluding any market and economic feasibility studies.
                  Buyer  shall  indemnify,   protect,  defend  and  hold  Seller
                  harmless  from and against any damages,  liabilities,  claims,
                  demands,  costs or expenses  arising from Buyer's  Inspections
                  (Buyer's  obligations  pursuant to this sentence shall survive
                  Closing or termination of this Contract).

                  BUYER  AND  SELLER  ACKNOWLEDGE  AND AGREE  THAT THE  ATTACHED
                  ADDENDUM IS A PART OF THIS CONTRACT AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO
                  THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

                  BT Commercial/Damon  Raike & Co.  ("BT/Raike"),  as co-brokers
                  (collectively,  "Brokers"),  each  of  whom  is  appropriately
                  licensed in the state in which the  Property is located,  have
                  negotiated the transaction contemplated in this Contract. Upon
                  Closing, Seller agrees to pay (i) Newell a cash fee of $19,400
                  and (ii)  BT/Raike a cash fee of $38,800,  which Title Company
                  shall pay from the sales  proceeds upon  Closing.  Each of the
                  parties  represents  to the other that it has not incurred any
                  liability for brokerage fees or commission in connection  with
                  this  transaction  other than the  liability  of Seller as set
                  forth  above.  Each party  indemnifies  and agrees to hold the
                  other party  harmless from any and all claims  and/or  expense
                  resulting  to the  other  party by  reason  of a breach of the
                  representation made by such party herein.

         9.       POSSESSION.  The possession of the Property shall be delivered
                  to Buyer at Closing in its present "as-is" condition, ordinary
                  wear and tear  excepted,  subject  to the rights of the tenant
                  therein.

         12.      TITLE APPROVAL.  Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of
                  this  Contract,  Seller shall  deliver to Buyer a  Preliminary
                  Title Report,  issued by Title Company (the "PTR") and, to the
                  extent available,  legible copies of all recorded  instruments
                  noted as exceptions  in the PTR,  together with an ALTA survey
                  of the Land and Improvements  (the "Survey").  If Buyer has an
                  objection  to  items  disclosed  in such  PTR or  shown on the
                  Survey,  Buyer  shall  have  ten  (10)  days  from the date of
                  receipt of the last of the PTR,  the Survey or the  underlying
                  title exception  documents (the "Title Inspection  Period") to
                  make written objections to Seller; provided, however, that the
                  Title Inspection Period shall not extend, in any event, beyond
                  the end of the Inspection  Period,  unless otherwise agreed by
                  the parties in  writing.  Any items  disclosed  in such PTR or
                  shown on the Survey, if not timely objected to by Buyer, shall
                  be deemed approved ("Approved Title Matters").  If Buyer makes
                  such  written  objections,  Seller shall have thirty (30) days
                  from the date of its  receipt of such  written  objections  to
                  cure the same. If required, the Closing Date shall be extended
                  to allow such cure period. Seller agrees to utilize reasonable
                  efforts and reasonable  diligence to cure such objections,  if
                  any;  provided,   that  if  Buyer  has  given  timely  written
                  objection  notice  of the same  during  the  Title  Inspection
                  Period  (or within  three (3)  business  days after  obtaining
                  knowledge  thereof,  if  any  such  item  is  first  disclosed
                  following  the end of such Title  Inspection  Period),  Seller
                  shall  remove  (i) all liens of  definitive  or  ascertainable
                  amount (other than taxes and  assessments)  and (ii) any other
                  defects,   provided,   further   that  Seller  shall  have  no
                  obligation  to remove the items  described  in clauses (i) and
                  (ii) of this  Paragraph 12 to the extent the aggregate cost to
                  remove the same exceeds  $10,000.  If the  objections  are not
                  cured within such time period,  Buyer may (i)  terminate  this
                  Contract upon written notice to Seller and neither party shall
                  have  any  further  rights  or  obligations  pursuant  to this
                  Contract except as otherwise provided above, or (ii) waive the
                  unsatisfied objections and close the transaction and the Sales
                  Price shall not be  reduced.  Seller  shall bear the cost,  if
                  any, of having the Survey  certified to Brauvin Capital Trust,
                  Inc.; Buyer shall bear the cost, if any, of making any changes
                  or updates to the Survey requested by Buyer or its lender,  if
                  any.

                  As  contemplated  by Paragraph  6(C) above,  Buyer shall fully
                  satisfy  itself as to the  condition  of title to the Property
                  and its ability to obtain all desired title insurance coverage
                  from the Title Company  during the Inspection  Period.  In the
                  event any matter  affecting  title is newly disclosed to Buyer
                  following the expiration  the  Inspection  Period and prior to
                  the Closing  Date,  then Buyer  shall have three (3)  business
                  days within which to give Seller  written  notice of objection
                  to only such newly  described  matter(s) and Seller shall then
                  have  thirty  (30) days from the date of its  receipt  of such
                  written  objection to cure the same subject to the limitations
                  of this  Paragraph 12. If required,  the Closing Date shall be
                  extended to allow such cure  period.  Any such new matter,  if
                  not timely  objected to by Buyer,  shall be deemed an Approved
                  Title Matter.

         13.      DEFAULT.  If Buyer fails to perform its obligations under this
                  Contract,  Seller,  as its  sole  and  exclusive  remedy,  may
                  terminate  this Contract and receive and retain the Deposit as
                  liquidated damages. If Seller fails to perform its obligations
                  under this Contract,  Buyer may terminate  this Contract,  the
                  Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled
                  to  recover  from  Seller  as   liquidated   damages   Buyer's
                  reasonable and  substantiated out of pocket costs and expenses
                  incurred in connection  with this  transaction up to a maximum
                  of  $7,500.  Buyer and Seller  acknowledge  and agree that the
                  damages  sustained  by either party in the event of default by
                  the other party hereto would be difficult and  impractical  to
                  determine  and the  amounts  specified  above have been agreed
                  upon by Buyer and  Seller,  after  negotiation,  as their best
                  reasonable  estimate  as of the date of this  Contract  of the
                  amount  of  such   damages  as  would  be   sustained  by  the
                  non-defaulting party under such circumstances. Notwithstanding
                  the  foregoing,  in the  event,  and only in the  event,  that
                  Seller's  breach  hereunder  shall be attributable to Seller's
                  willful  or  voluntary  default  in  the  performance  of  its
                  obligations as provided in this Contract, then, and only then,
                  may Buyer seek specific performance of this Contract.


                  Buyer ( /s/ ) and Seller ( /s/ ) agree to the above.

         14.      ATTORNEYS'  FEES. The prevailing party in any legal proceeding
                  against any other party hereto  brought under or with relation
                  to the  Contract or  transaction  shall be entitled to recover
                  court   costs  and   reasonable   attorneys'   fees  from  the
                  non-prevailing party.

         15.      ADDITIONAL  DOCUMENTS  TO BE PROVIDED BY SELLER.  At the times
                  set forth in the attached  Addendum,  Seller shall  deliver to
                  Buyer copies of certain  additional  documents and information
                  relating to the Property.

         16.      COVENANTS OF SELLER.  From the Effective Date of this Contract
                  until  the  Closing  Date  or  earlier   termination  of  this
                  Contract,  Seller  shall:  (i)  operate  the  Property  in the
                  customary and ordinary course of its business and will use its
                  reasonable  efforts  to  reasonably  preserve  for  Buyer  the
                  relationships of Seller and its suppliers,  tenants and others
                  with respect to the Property;  (ii) not enter into any written
                  or oral service  contract or other  agreement  with respect to
                  the Property that will not be fully  performed by Seller on or
                  before the Closing  Date,  or that will not be  cancelable  by
                  Buyer  without  liability  within  thirty  (30) days after the
                  Closing Date; (iii) without the prior written consent of Buyer
                  (which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed)
                  not  enter  into,  or alter,  amend or  otherwise  modify,  or
                  supplement  the Lease;  and (iv) advise Buyer  promptly of any

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

                  litigation,    arbitration,    administrative    hearing,   or
                  legislation  before any  governmental  body or agency of which
                  Seller receives  written  notice,  concerning or affecting the
                  Property  which is  instituted  or  threatened  after the date
                  hereof.  In the event,  Seller  takes any action  described in
                  clause  (iii)  of this  Paragraph  16,  despite  Buyer  having
                  reasonably  withheld  its  consent,  then  Buyer  may elect to
                  terminate  this  Contract and the Deposit shall be returned to
                  Buyer.

         17.      CONDEMNATION.   If  prior   to   Closing   Date   condemnation
                  proceedings are commenced  against any material portion of the
                  Property, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Contract by
                  written  notice to Seller  within ten (10) days after Buyer is
                  advised of the  commencement of  condemnation  proceedings and
                  the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.  Alternatively,  Buyer
                  shall have the right to appear and defend in such condemnation
                  proceedings,  and any  award  in  condemnation  shall,  at the
                  Buyer's election made prior to Closing, become the property of
                  Seller and reduce the Sales  Price by the same amount or shall
                  become the  property of Buyer and the Sales Price shall not be
                  reduced.

         18.      CASUALTY LOSS.  Except as specifically  provided herein,  this
                  Contract shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
                  the occurrence of any damage to or destruction of the Property
                  prior to closing. Risk of loss by damage or destruction to the
                  Property prior to the closing shall be borne by Seller. In the
                  event any such  damage or  destruction  is not fully  repaired
                  prior to  Closing  (Seller  shall  have no duty to repair  the
                  same),  Buyer,  at its option may  either (i)  terminate  this
                  Contract  upon written  notice to Seller  within ten (10) days
                  after Buyer is advised of such damage or  destruction in which
                  event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party
                  shall have any further rights or obligations  pursuant to this
                  Contract except as otherwise  provided above, or (ii) elect to
                  close the  transaction,  in which event  Seller's right to all
                  insurance  proceeds  resulting from such damage or destruction
                  shall be  assigned in writing by Seller to Buyer and the Sales
                  Price shall not be reduced.  In the event that  following  the
                  Closing  there  shall  occur  damage  or  destruction  to  the
                  Property  for which  Seller is entitled  to receive  insurance
                  proceeds under Circle K's insurance policy, then Seller agrees
                  to cooperate  with Buyer to assign its rights,  if any, to any
                  such proceeds to Buyer and to execute such documents as may be
                  necessary to effectuate such assignment.

         19.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  A.       Any notice  required  or  permitted  to be  delivered
                           hereunder  shall be deemed  received when  personally
                           delivered  or received by facsimile  transmission  or
                           one (1)  business  day after  being  sent by  Federal
                           Express  or  other  nationally  recognized  overnight
                           delivery  service,  charges  prepaid,  in  each  case
                           addressed  to  Seller  Buyer  and  their   respective
                           counsel,  as the case  may be,  at the  addresses  or
                           facsimile  numbers set forth below the  signature  of
                           such party hereto.

                  B.       This  Contract  shall  be  construed   under  and  in
                           accordance  with the laws of the  state in which  the
                           Property is located.

                  C.       This Contract  shall be binding upon and inure to the
                           benefit of the  parties  hereto and their  respective
                           heirs,     executors,      administrators,      legal
                           representatives, successors, and assigns.

                  D.       In case any one or more the  provisions  contained in
                           the  Contract  shall  for  any  reason  be held to be
                           invalid,  illegal,  and unenforceable in any respect,
                           such  invalidity,   illegality,  or  unenforceability
                           shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this
                           Contract  shall  be  construed  as if  such  invalid,
                           illegal,  or  unenforceable  provision had never been
                           contained herein.

                  E.       This Contract constitutes the sole and only agreement
                           of  the  parties  hereto  and  supersedes  any  prior
                           understandings or written or oral agreements  between
                           the parties  respecting the within subject matter and
                           cannot be changed except by their written consent.

                  F.       Time is of the essence of this Contract.

                  G.       Words of any gender  used in this  Contract  shall be
                           held and construed to include any other  gender,  and
                           words in the singular number shall be held to include
                           the  plural,  and  vice  versa,  unless  the  context
                           requires otherwise.

         20.      ASSIGNMENT.  Buyer may not assign  this  Contract  without the
                  prior  written  consent  of Seller  which  Seller may grant or
