Four Million Three Hundred Fifty  Thousand and No/100  Dollars  ($4,350,000.00),
which shall be paid by Purchaser, as follows:

            3.1.1 On the date hereof,  Purchaser  shall deliver to Stewart Title
Guaranty Company ("Escrow Agent" or the "Title Insurer") a deposit in the sum of
Forty-Three  Thousand  Five Hundred and No/100  Dollars  ($43,500.00),  in cash,
(such sum being  hereinafter  referred  to and held as the  "Initial  Deposit").
Purchaser  and Seller  each  approve  the form of Escrow  Agreement  attached as
Exhibit "D". On or before the last day of the  Feasibility  Period (and provided
that this  Agreement  has not been  terminated  by  Purchaser)  Purchaser  shall
deposit  into escrow with the Escrow  Agent the  additional  sum of  Forty-Three
Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($43,500.00),  in cash (the "Additional
Deposit").  As used herein,  the term "Deposit"  shall mean,  collectively,  the
Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the
amount of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) shall be paid by Purchaser to

consideration for Seller's execution and delivery of this Purchase Contract (the
"Independent Contract Consideration"). The Independent Contract Consideration is
independent of any other  consideration or payment provided for in this Purchase
Contract and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, is non-refundable
in all events.

            3.1.2 The Escrow  Agent shall hold the Deposit and make  delivery of
the Deposit to the party entitled  thereto under the terms hereof.  Escrow Agent
shall  invest the Deposit in an  interest-bearing  bank  account  acceptable  to
Seller  and  Purchaser  at  one  or  more  federally  insured  national  banking
association(s)  or such  other  investment  as  jointly  directed  by Seller and
Purchaser  should Seller and Purchaser each in their  respective sole discretion
determine to issue such joint  investment  instructions to the Escrow Agent, and
all  interest and income  thereon  shall become part of the Deposit and shall be
remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit, as set forth below.

            3.1.3 If the  sale of the  Property  is  closed  by the  date  fixed
therefor (or any  extension  date  provided for herein or by the mutual  written
consent of the  parties  hereto,  given or  withheld  in their  respective  sole
discretion),   monies  held  as  the  Deposit  and  the   Independent   Contract
Consideration shall be applied to the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and the
balance of the  Purchase  Price,  less  adjustments  provided for herein and the
outstanding  balance of the Seller's Note Obligation  after deducting  therefrom
the sum of all escrows and  reserves  for taxes and  insurance  only held by the
holder of the Seller's Note Obligation as of the Closing Date,  shall be paid at
Closing to Seller in immediately available funds. If the sale of the Property is
not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension  date) owing to the
termination  of this  Purchase  Contract  by  Purchaser  pursuant  to ARTICLE 5,
ARTICLE 6, or Section  9.2.4,  the  Deposit  shall be returned  and  refunded to
Purchaser.  If the sale of the Property is not closed by the date fixed therefor
(or any such  extension  date)  owing to the failure of  performance  by Seller,
Purchaser  shall be entitled to the remedy  elected by it under and as set forth
in ARTICLE 12 hereof.

            3.1.4 If the sale of the  Property  is not  closed by the date fixed
therefor  (or any such  extension  date)  owing to  failure  of  performance  by
Purchaser, the Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and the sum thereof shall
go to Seller forthwith as liquidated  damages for the lost opportunity costs and
transaction  expenses  incurred by Seller, as more fully set forth in ARTICLE 12
below.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                                    FINANCING

      4.1 Seller has advised  Purchaser  that,  as of the  Effective  Date,  the
Property is encumbered by certain liens  securing the Seller's Note  Obligation.
Subject to any restrictions on assumption that may be set forth in the documents
evidencing or pertaining to the Seller's Note Obligation (the "Loan Documents"),
Purchaser  shall,  at its sole cost and  expense,  use  commercially  reasonable
efforts (a) to promptly negotiate the assumption of the Seller's Note Obligation
on the Closing Date on terms reasonably  acceptable to Purchaser,  provided that
the terms of such  assumption  shall not  require  any  increase  in the rate of
interest  payable  thereunder,  any  increase  in the amount of the  payments of
principal and interest due thereunder,  any decrease in the term of the maturity
thereof,  or the payment of any costs or fees in excess of one  percent  (1%) of
the outstanding  principal amount to be assumed,  plus a fee of $2,000.00,  plus
customary  costs of the holder  incurred in connection  with attorneys' fees and
expenses such as Purchaser's assumption, (b) to obtain the release of Seller and
its affiliate  guarantor  from all  liability  with respect to the Seller's Note
Obligation  effective as of the Closing Date,  and (c) to obtain the approval of
the holder of the Seller's Note  Obligation  prior to the Closing Date necessary
to effect such  assumption of the Seller's Note  Obligation on the Closing Date.
Seller agrees to cooperate  with such  efforts.  Any and all amounts or fees due
and payable in connection  with the  assumption of the Seller's Note  Obligation
(other than scheduled payments of principal, interest, escrows, and reserves due
prior to the  Closing  Date)  shall be paid by  Purchaser.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  in the event that (a) after using commercially  reasonable  efforts,
Purchaser  is  unable  to (i)  assume  the  Seller's  Note  Obligation  on terms
reasonably  acceptable  to Purchaser (as set forth earlier in this Section 4.1),
or (ii)  obtain  the  release  of Seller and its  affiliate  guarantor  from all
personal  liability under the Seller Note Obligation (and Seller has not elected
to waive such condition after notice to it from Purchaser that the holder of the
Seller's Note  Obligation is unwilling to consent to such release),  then,  upon
delivery  of  written  notice by  Purchaser  to Seller and  Escrow  Agent,  this
Purchase Contract shall terminate,  in which event the Deposit shall be returned
to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent and Seller and  Purchaser  shall evenly  divide
the cancellation  charges of the Escrow Agent and the Title Insurer, if any, and
this Purchase Contract shall automatically be of no further force and effect and
neither party shall have any further rights and obligations  hereunder except as
provided in Section  5.3. In no event shall  Seller be  obligated  to prepay the
Seller's Note Obligation.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                               FEASIBILITY PERIOD

      5.1 Subject to the terms of Section 5.3 below,  for fifteen (15)  calendar
days following  Purchaser's receipt of the "Materials" (as hereinafter defined),
but in no event later than twenty-two (22) calendar days following the Effective
Date  (the  "Feasibility  Period"),  Purchaser,  and  its  agents,  contractors,
engineers,  surveyors,  attorneys, and employees  ("Consultants") shall have the
right from time to time to enter onto the Property:

            5.1.1 To  conduct  and make any and all  customary  studies,  tests,
examinations and inspections,  or  investigations  of or concerning the Property
(including without limitation,  engineering and feasibility studies,  evaluation
of drainage and flood plain, soil tests for bearing capacity and percolation and
surveys, including topographical surveys).

            5.1.2 To confirm any and all matters which  Purchaser may reasonably
desire to confirm with respect to the Property.

            5.1.3 To  ascertain  and confirm the  suitability  of the Property
for Purchaser's intended use.

            5.1.4 To review all  Materials  and,  at the  offices of the Manager
located at the Property,  to review and copy (at Purchaser's  expense)  Seller's
books and records  relating to the  Property  (other than  Seller's  proprietary
information) and all Leases.

      5.2 Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Purchase Contract for
any reason, or no reason, by giving written Notice to Seller and Escrow Agent on
or before 10:00 p.m.  Central  Daylight  Time,  on the date of expiration of the
Feasibility  Period.  If  Purchaser  exercises  such  right to  terminate,  this
Purchase Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject
to and except for  Purchaser's  liability  under  Section  5.3, and Escrow Agent
shall promptly  return the Deposit to Purchaser.  If Purchaser  fails to provide
Seller with written Notice of  cancellation  prior to the end of the Feasibility
Period  in  strict  accordance  with  the  Notice  provisions  of this  Purchase
Contract,  this  Purchase  Contract  shall  remain in full  force and effect and
Purchaser's  obligation  to purchase the Property  shall be  non-contingent  and
unconditional except only for satisfaction of the conditions expressly stated in
this ARTICLE 5 and in ARTICLE 9.

      5.3 Purchaser  shall  indemnify  and hold Seller  harmless for any actions
taken  by  Purchaser  and  its  Consultants  on the  Property.  Purchaser  shall
indemnify,  defend (with attorneys  selected by Seller) and hold Seller harmless
from any and all claims,  damages,  costs and  liability  which may arise due to
such entries, surveys, tests, investigations and the like. Seller shall have the
right, without limitation,  to disapprove any and all entries,  surveys,  tests,
investigations and the like that in its reasonable  judgment could result in any
injury  to the  Property  or breach of any  agreement,  or expose  Seller to any
liability,  costs, liens or violations of applicable law, or otherwise adversely
affect the  Property or Seller's  interest  therein.  Purchaser  shall  exercise
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to  minimize  disruption  to the  Tenants  in
connection  with  Purchaser's or its  Consultants'  activities  pursuant to this
Section.  No  consent  by the  Seller  to any such  activity  shall be deemed to
constitute  a waiver by Seller or  assumption  of  liability  or risk by Seller.
Purchaser  hereby  agrees to restore  the  Property  to  substantially  the same
condition  existing  immediately  prior to  Purchaser's  exercise  of its rights
pursuant to this ARTICLE 5 at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall
maintain  commercial general liability insurance with broad form contractual and
personal injury liability endorsements with respect to Purchaser's activities on
the  Property  pursuant to this  Section  5.3,  with  coverages of not less than
$1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury
or death to more than one  person  and  $500,000.00  with  respect  to  property
damage, by water or otherwise.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the
Closing or  termination  of this Purchase  Contract for a period of one (1) year
from the Effective Date.

      5.4 Purchaser  shall not permit any mechanic's or  materialmen's  liens or
any other liens to attach to the  Property by reason of the  performance  of any
work or the  purchase  of any  materials  by  Purchaser  or any  other  party in
connection  with any studies or tests  conducted by or for Purchaser.  Purchaser
shall give notice to Seller a reasonable  time prior to entry onto the Property,
shall deliver to Seller proof of insurance  coverage required in Section 5.3 and
shall permit Seller to have a representative  present during all  investigations
and inspections conducted with respect to the Property. Purchaser shall take all
reasonable  actions and implement all  protections  necessary to ensure that all
actions taken in  connection  with the  investigations  and  inspections  of the
Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought
onto the  Property  pose no  material  threat to the  safety of  persons  or the
environment  and cause no damage to the Property or other  property of Seller or
other  persons.  All  information  made  available  by  Seller to  Purchaser  in
accordance with this Purchase Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of
its  investigations  shall be treated as confidential  information by Purchaser,
and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its
best efforts to prevent its  Consultants,  agents and employees  from  divulging
such  information to any unrelated third parties except as reasonably  necessary
to third parties  engaged by Purchaser for the limited  purpose of analyzing and
investigating  such  information for the purpose of consummating the transaction
contemplated  by this Purchase  Contract,  including  Purchaser's  attorneys and
representatives, prospective lenders and engineers.

      5.5 Seller shall  deliver to Purchaser  within five (5) Business Days from
the Effective Date copies of (a) Seller's form  residential  lease  agreement(s)
used  at  the  Property,  (b)  all  Property  Contracts,   (c)  engineering  and
environmental studies in Seller's possession or control relating to the Property
and prepared for Seller by third parties (other than proprietary  information of
Seller), (d) the Loan Documents (to the extent in Seller's possession),  and (e)
those items set forth in Schedule 5.4  (collectively,  the "Materials").  If the
sale of the Property is not closed by the date fixed therefor,  Purchaser shall,
within five (5) calendar days, return all such Materials to Seller.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                      TITLE

      6.1 On or before five (5) calendar  days from the Effective  Date,  Seller
shall cause to be  delivered  to  Purchaser  (a) a  preliminary  title report or
commitment (the "Title  Commitment")  prepared by Stewart Title Guaranty Company
(the "Title  Insurer") to issue an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title
Policy")  insuring  title to the  Property  to be good and  indefeasible  in the
amount  of  the  Purchase  Price,  subject  only  to  the  Permitted  Exceptions
(described  below) and other liens and encumbrances not constituting  objections
to title in accordance herewith, together with legible copies of all instruments
identified therein as exceptions, and (b) a survey of the Land and Improvements,
prepared in accordance with and complying with the minimum  requirements of ALTA
and  complying  with all of  Mortgagee's  Survey  Requirements,  in a form,  and
certified  as of a date  satisfactory  to the Title  Insurer to delete  standard
survey  exceptions from the Title Policy,  except for any Permitted  Exceptions,
and (i) showing all improvements,  recorded easements (to the extent locatable),
set  back  lines  and  such  other  matters  shown as  exceptions  by the  Title
Commitment; (ii) showing the right of way for all adjacent public streets; (iii)
specifically  disclosing  whether (and, if so, what part of) any of the Property
is in an area designated as requirement flood insurance under applicable federal
laws regulating  lenders;  (iv) containing a perimeter legal  description of the
Property;  (v)  certified to Purchaser,  Mortgagee,  Seller and Title Insurer as
being true and correct;  and (vi)  certifying  the legal  description  set forth
therein as describing the Property to be purchased by Purchaser  pursuant to the
terms of this  Purchase  Contract  (the  "Survey").  On or before  ten (10) days
following  Purchaser's receipt of the Title Commitment,  the documents of record
reflected  therein,  and the Survey,  Purchaser  shall give written  notice (the
"Objection  Notice")  to the  attorneys  for Seller of any  conditions  of title
subject to which Purchaser is not obligated to take the Property pursuant to the
provisions of this Purchase Contract (the  "Objections")  separately  specifying
and setting forth each such  objection.  Seller shall have no obligation to cure
any matter set forth in the Objection Notice,  but shall extend the Closing Date
for up to an  additional  thirty  (30) days to cure any such  matter.  If Seller
gives  Purchaser  notice  (the  "Response  Notice")  that  Seller  is  unable or
unwilling to cure any Objection set forth in the Objection  Notice, or if Seller
fails to or does not give  Purchaser a Response  Notice,  Purchaser  may, as its
exclusive  remedy,  elect by written notice to Seller,  within five (5) business
days after the  Objection  Notice is given,  either (a) to accept  such title as
Seller is able to convey  without any  reduction  or  abatement  of the Purchase
Price,  or (b) to terminate  this  Purchase  Contract in which event the Deposit
shall be  returned  to  Purchaser.  If  Purchaser  fails to give  notice  of its
election to terminate this  Agreement  within such five (5) business day period,
Purchaser  shall be deemed to have waived such Objections and to have elected to
proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract.

      6.2 All matters  disclosed on the Title  Commitment which are not objected
to in the  Objection  Notice as timely  delivered  or which are waived or deemed
waived by  Purchaser  pursuant  to the  provisions  of Section  6.1  above,  the
Mortgage,  and any  matter  affecting  title to the  Property,  even  though not
reflected in the Title  Commitment if the Title Insurer will insure  Purchaser's
title clear of the matter or will insure against the enforcement of such matter,
shall be deemed to be  Permitted  Exceptions,  other than unpaid  liens for real
estate and personal  property  taxes for years prior to the fiscal year in which
the Closing  Date occurs and any other  matter  which Seller is obligated to pay
and  discharge  at the  Closing  under this  Purchase  Contract,  and the amount
thereof chargeable to Seller, plus interest and penalties thereon, if any, shall
be deducted  from the  Purchase  Price on the Closing Date and paid to the Title
Insurer for the payment of such matters. Purchaser agrees to accept title to the
Land and Improvements,  so long as the same is indefeasible,  and the Deed shall
be subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

      6.3 Seller agrees that it shall be solely  responsible  for payment of all
costs relating to the issuance of the Title Policy, and Purchaser agrees that it
shall be solely  responsible for payment of all costs, fees and premiums related
to all endorsements or amendments thereof.

      6.4  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any deeds of trust and/or  mortgages
(including  any and all mortgages  which secure the Seller's  Note  Obligations)
against the Property  (whether one or more, the "Mortgage")  shall not be deemed
Permitted  Exceptions to the extent the Seller's  Note  Obligation is assumed by
Purchaser  pursuant to the  provisions  of ARTICLE 4,  whether  Purchaser  gives
written  notice of such or not, and subject to the  provisions  of Section 9.1.8
and Section  9.2.5,  shall be paid off,  satisfied,  discharged  and/or cured by
Seller at or before Closing.

      6.5 Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien
or  encumbrance  to attach to the Property  between the  Effective  Date and the
Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts in the ordinary course of
business;  provided, however, after the expiration of the Feasibility Period and
prior to the  Closing  Date,  all Leases and  Property  Contracts  must be first
approved  in writing by  Purchaser  unless [a] such Lease has a term not greater
than six [6] months  and on other  terms and  conditions  no less  favorable  to
Seller  than exist with  respect to other  comparable  units of the  Property as
reflected  on the most  recent rent roll  delivered  to  Purchaser,  or [b] such
Property  Contract is terminable on not less than thirty [30] days prior written
notice);  any such monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching by voluntary act of
Seller (hereinafter,  a "Voluntary Intervening Lien") shall be discharged by the
Seller at or prior to Closing,  on the Closing  Date,  or any  extended  Closing
Date.  Except as  expressly  provided  in this  ARTICLE 6,  Seller  shall not be
required  to  undertake   efforts  to  remove  any   Objection  or  other  lien,
encumbrance,  security interest,  exception,  objection or other matter, to make
any  expenditure  of money or  institute  litigation  or any other  judicial  or
administrative  proceeding,  and  Seller  may elect not to  discharge  the same;
provided,   however,  if  any  lien  or  encumbrance  (other  than  a  Voluntary
Intervening  Lien)  attaches to the Property  between the Effective Date of this
Purchase  Contract and the Closing Date,  Seller shall be required to satisfy or
discharge said lien or encumbrance at or prior to the Closing.

      6.6 Purchaser  shall be responsible  for the costs of the Survey up to the
amount of $1,000.00  payable at Closing of this Purchase  Contract,  unless this
Purchase  Contract is terminated for any reason other than Purchaser's  default,
in which event  Seller shall be solely  responsible  for the cost of the Survey.
Seller  agrees that it shall be  responsible  for all costs of the survey beyond
the  amount  for  which  Purchaser  is  responsible  pursuant  to the  preceding
sentence. In the event the perimeter legal description of the Property contained
in the Survey  differs from that  contained in the deed or deeds by which Seller
took title to the Property,  the latter  description  shall be used in the Deed.
Purchaser,  at Purchaser's sole cost and expense,  may also cause to be prepared
an environmental report for the Property.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     CLOSING

      7.1   Date,  Place Of Closing,  Prorations,  Delinquent Rent and Closing
Costs.

            7.1.1 The  Closing  shall occur on the later to occur of (a) fifteen
(15) days after the expiration of the  Feasibility  Period,  or (b) fifteen (15)
days after  receipt by  Purchaser  of the  Mortgagee's  approval of  Purchaser's
assumption of the Seller's Note Obligation (but in no event later than September
15, 2000),  through an escrow with Escrow Agent,  whereby the Seller,  Purchaser
and their  attorneys  need not be  physically  present  at the  Closing  and may
deliver  documents by  overnight  air courier or other  means.  Purchaser  shall
provide to Seller  written  notice of  Purchaser's  receipt  of such  assumption
approval not more than three (3) Business Days' following the date thereof.

            7.1.2 The Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option
of  Seller  (a) in the  event  that  the  consents  and  governmental  approvals
contemplated  by Section 8.1.1.1 have not then been obtained by Seller (and such
consents and approvals have not been  affirmatively  and finally  denied),  to a
date not later than seven (7) Business  Days  following the date on which Seller
obtains such  consents and approvals  (but in no event later than  September 15,
2000),  provided  that (i)  Seller  provides  to  Purchaser  at least  three (3)
Business Days' prior written  notice of Seller's  election to extend the Closing
Date pursuant to this Section 7.1.2.,  (ii) Seller diligently pursues the prompt
obtainment  of such consents and approvals  (using its  reasonable  best efforts
under the  circumstances and to the extent within Seller's  control),  and (iii)
Seller provides to Purchaser  written notice of its receipt of such consents and
approvals  (or  of the  affirmative  and  final  denial  of  such  consents  and
approvals)  not later than three (3)  Business  Days  following  such receipt by
Seller,  or (b) to a date not later than thirty (30) days  following the Closing
Date specified in Section 7.1.1. (but in no event later than September 15, 2000)
to satisfy any other condition to the Closing to be satisfied by Seller,  or (c)
such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.

            7.1.3  All  normal  and  customarily  proratable  items,  including,
without limitation, rents and other income from the Property including any bonus
or other  up-front  payment  made under or in  connection  with any laundry room
lease or  contract  which is not  canceled  at or  prior to  Closing  ("Rents"),
operating  expenses,  personal  property taxes and amounts due and payable under
the Loan  Documents  (to the extent the Seller's  Note  Obligation is assumed by
Purchaser),  shall be prorated as of the Closing  Date,  Seller being charged or
credited,  as appropriate,  for all of same attributable to the period up to the
Closing Date (and  credited for any amounts paid by Seller  attributable  to the
period on or after the Closing  Date,  if assumed by  Purchaser)  and  Purchaser
being  responsible for, and credited or charged,  as the case may be, for all of
same  attributable  to the period on and after the Closing  Date.  All unapplied
Security Deposits, if any, and amounts held in escrow or reserve by or on behalf
of the holder of the Seller's Note Obligation  pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents (to the extent that  Purchaser  assumes the Seller's  Note  Obligation
pursuant  to the  provisions  of  ARTICLE 4) shall be  transferred  by Seller to
Purchaser at the Closing or Seller shall be given a credit therefor  against the
Purchase  Price,  as Seller may elect.  Purchaser  shall  assume at Closing  the
obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, provided that any
payments under the Property  Contracts  have been  prorated.  Any real estate ad
valorem or similar taxes for the Property,  or any  installment  of  assessments
payable in  installments  which  installment  is payable in the calendar year of
Closing,  shall be  prorated  to the date of  Closing,  based upon  actual  days
involved.  The proration of real property taxes or  installments  of assessments
shall be based upon the assessed  valuation and tax rate figures for the year in
which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in
the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or
for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date,
the  proration  shall  be made  using  figures  from  the  preceding  year.  The
provisions  of this Section  7.1.3 shall apply during the  Proration  Period (as
defined below).  Rents and all related charges shall be prorated based on actual
collections as of the Closing Date.

            7.1.4 If any of the items subject to proration  hereunder  cannot be
prorated  at the Closing  because  the  information  necessary  to compute  such
proration is unavailable,  or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations
at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be
reapportioned  and such errors and  omissions  corrected as soon as  practicable
after the Closing Date and the proper party  reimbursed,  which obligation shall
survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration  Period") from the Closing Date
until one (1) year after the Closing  Date.  Neither party hereto shall have the
right to require a  recomputation  of a Closing  proration or a correction of an
error or omission in a Closing  proration unless within the Proration Period one
of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or
has discovered  the error or omission,  and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the
other  party  together  with  a copy  of its  good  faith  recomputation  of the
proration   and  copies  of  all   substantiating   information   used  in  such
recomputation.  The  failure  of a party to obtain  any  previously  unavailable
information  or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to
proration  hereunder  and to give Notice  thereof as provided  above  within the
Proration  Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation
or a  correction  of an error or  omission  with  respect to such item after the
Closing Date.

            7.1.5 If on the  Closing  Date any  Tenant is in arrears in any Rent
payment under any Tenant lease (the  "Delinquent  Rent"),  any  Delinquent  Rent
received by  Purchaser  and Seller from such Tenant  after the Closing  shall be
applied to amounts due and payable by such Tenant during the  following  periods
in the following  order of priority:  (i) first, to the period of time after the
Closing Date, and (ii) second, to the period of time before the Closing Date. If
Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by Seller or Purchaser after the
Closing are due and payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the
appropriate  sum, less a proportionate  share of any reasonable  attorneys' fees
and costs and expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, shall
be promptly paid to the other party. Any monies received by Seller after Closing
shall be forwarded to Purchaser for disbursement in accordance with the order of
payment provided herein above. After the Closing,  Seller shall continue to have
the right, but not the obligation,  in its own name, to demand payment of and to
collect Delinquent Rent owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include,
without  limitation,  the  right  to  continue  or  commence  legal  actions  or
proceedings  against any Tenant  (provided,  that Seller  shall not commence any
legal actions or proceedings  against any Tenant which  continues as a Tenant at
the Property  after Closing  without the prior consent of Purchaser,  which will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),  and the delivery of the Assignment as
defined  in  Section  7.2.1.3  shall not  constitute  a waiver by Seller of such
right.  Purchaser  agrees to  cooperate  with Seller at no cost or  liability to
Purchaser in  connection  with all efforts by Seller to collect such  Delinquent
Rent and to take all reasonable steps, whether before or after the Closing Date,
as may be necessary  to carry out the  intention  of the  foregoing,  including,
without  limitation,  the  delivery  to  Seller,  within  seven (7) days after a
written  request,  of  any  relevant  books  and  records  (including,   without
limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in
payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents,
and the  undertaking of any act reasonably  necessary for the collection of such
Delinquent Rent by Seller;  provided,  however,  that Purchaser's  obligation to
cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate  Purchaser to
terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing  Tenant or evict any existing Tenant
from the Property.  The  provisions of this Section 7.1.5 shall apply during the
Proration Period.

            7.1.6 Seller shall pay the cost of all transfer taxes (e.g.,  excise
stamp  taxes)  and  Purchaser  shall pay the cost of all  recording  costs  with
respect to the Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall share equally in the costs of
the Escrow Agent for escrow fees but not any other fees and charges of the Title
Insurer.

      7.2   Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing.

            7.2.1 Seller. At Closing,  Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent (for
delivery  to  Purchaser  upon  the  consummation  of the  Closing),  each of the
following items, as applicable:

                  7.2.1.1  A  Special  Warranty  Deed in the  form  attached  as
Exhibit "E" (the  "Deed").  The  acceptance  of such deed at  Closing,  shall be
deemed  to be full  performance  of,  and  discharge  of,  every  agreement  and
obligation on Seller's part to be performed under this Purchase Contract, except
for those  that this  Purchase  Contract  specifically  provides  shall  survive
Closing.

                  7.2.1.2 A Bill of Sale  without  recourse  or  warranty in the
form attached as Exhibit "F", covering all Property Contracts,  Leases, Security
Deposits,  Permits  (other than  Excluded  Permits)  and  Fixtures  and Tangible
Personal  Property  required to be transferred to Purchaser with respect to such
Property.  Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by
Purchaser of, among other things, Seller's obligations thereunder.

                  7.2.1.3 An Assignment  (to the extent  assignable and in force
and effect) without  recourse or warranty in the form attached as Exhibit "G" of
all of Seller's right,  title and interest in and to the Miscellaneous  Property
Assets,  subject to any required consents.  Purchaser shall countersign the same
so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser,  including,  without limitation,  of
Seller's obligations thereunder.

                  7.2.1.4 A closing statement executed by Seller.

                  7.2.1.5  A  title  affidavit  or,  at  Seller's   option,   an
indemnity, as applicable,  in the customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller
and Title Insurer to enable Title  Insurer to delete the standard  exceptions to
the title insurance  policy to be issued  pursuant to the Title  Commitment (the
"Title Policy") (other than matters  constituting  any Permitted  Exceptions and
matters which are to be completed or performed post-Closing); provided that such
affidavit  does not  subject  Seller to any  greater  liability,  or impose  any
additional obligations, other than as set forth in this Purchase Contract; and

                  7.2.1.6  A  certification  of  Seller's   non-foreign   status
pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

                  7.2.1.7  Except  for the items  expressly  listed  above to be
delivered at Closing,  delivery of any other required items shall be deemed made
by Seller to Purchaser, if Seller leaves such documents at the Property in their
customary place of storage or in the custody of Purchaser's representatives.

                  7.2.1.8 Evidence  that  the  Management  Agreement  has been
terminated.

                  7.2.1.9 A rent roll for the  Property,  updated to the Closing
Date and  certified  by Seller,  listing the monthly  base rent  payable,  lease
expiration date and unapplied Security Deposits for each Lease.

                  7.2.1.10 Resolutions,  certificates of good standing, and such
other  organizational  documents  as  Title  Insurer  shall  reasonably  require
evidencing Seller's authority to consummate this transaction.

                  7.2.1.11  To the extent in  Seller's  possession  or  control,
originals  or copies of the  Leases,  Property  Contracts,  Permits  (other than
Excluded Permits), lease files, warranties,  guaranties, operating manuals, keys
to  the  Property  and  Seller's  books  and  records  (other  than  proprietary
information) regarding the Property.

            7.2.2  Purchaser.  At Closing,  Purchaser shall deliver to the Title
Company (for  disbursement  to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with
respect to the Property being conveyed at such Closing:

                  7.2.2.1  The full  Purchase  Price as  required  by  ARTICLE 3
hereof minus the then outstanding  amount of the Seller's Note Obligation,  plus
any fees or penalties necessary to assume the Seller's Note Obligation, and plus
or minus the adjustments or prorations required by this Purchase Contract. If at
Closing  there are any liens or  encumbrances  on the  Property  that  Seller is
obligated  or elects to pay and  discharge,  Seller  may use any  portion of the
Purchase  Price for the  Property(s)  to satisfy the same,  provided that Seller
shall have delivered to Title Company, on such Closing instruments in recordable
form sufficient to satisfy such liens and  encumbrances of record (or, as to any
mortgages or deeds of trust, appropriate payoff letters, acceptable to the Title
Insurer),  together with the cost of recording or filing such  instruments.  The
existence of any such liens or  encumbrances  shall not be deemed  objections to
title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements.

                  7.2.2.2 A closing statement executed by Purchaser.

                  7.2.2.3 A countersigned counterpart of the Bill of Sale in the
form attached as Exhibit "F".

                  7.2.2.4 A  countersigned  counterpart  of the  Assignment in
the form attached as Exhibit "G".

                  7.2.2.5 Such other  instruments,  documents or certificates as
are required to be delivered  by Purchaser to Seller in  accordance  with any of
the other provisions of this Purchase Contract.

            7.2.3  Notice to Tenants.  At Closing,  Seller and  Purchaser  shall
execute and deliver a letter,  dated as of the date of Closing and  addressed to
all  Tenants,  informing  such  Tenants of the  transfer of the Property and the
assignment of the Leases to Purchaser,  together with an  instruction to pay all
amounts  due or to become  due  under the  Leases  to  Purchaser,  including  an
acknowledgment by Purchaser of receipt of all security deposits  (specifying the
exact dollar amount of the security  deposit) and that  Purchaser is responsible
for the Tenant's security deposit,  and in compliance with Section 92.105 of the
Texas  Property  Code.  The letter  shall be in the form of Exhibit "H" attached
hereto.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                         REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND

                        COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER

      8.1   Representations, Warranties and Covenants Of Seller.

            8.1.1 For the  purpose  of  inducing  Purchaser  to enter  into this
Purchase  Contract  and to  consummate  the sale and purchase of the Property in
accordance  herewith,  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following
as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

                  8.1.1.1  Seller  is  lawfully  and  duly  organized,  and,  if

to execute the  documents to be executed by Seller and prior to the Closing will
have taken as applicable, all corporate,  partnership, limited liability company
or  equivalent  entity  actions  required for the execution and delivery of this
Purchase Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Purchase Contract,  provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes
untrue because Seller is unable to obtain any necessary consents of its partners
under its or their  partnership  agreements or the approval of any  governmental

affirmative  and final denial of such  consents or  approvals)  within three (3)
Business Days of Seller's receipt thereof. The compliance with or fulfillment of
the terms and  conditions  hereof will not conflict  with, or result in a breach

purchase  contract to which  Seller is a party or by which  Seller is  otherwise
bound.  Seller  has not made any  other  contract  for the sale of, or given any
other person the right to purchase, all or any part of any of the Property;

Purchase  Contract  within five (5) days of receipt by Purchaser  from the Title

shall  have no other  liability  as a result  thereof,  either  before  or after

the  Property,  except  for  occupants,  guests  and  tenants  under the  Leases

all  contract  rights and  warranties  required to be conveyed  and  assigned to
Purchaser  hereunder  (provided,  however,  that  if this  representation  is or
becomes  untrue  because  Seller is unable to obtain any necessary  consents and
approvals contemplated in Section 8.1.1.1 prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser's
remedies shall be limited to the right to terminate this Purchase Contract,  and
receive a return of the Deposit together with  reimbursement  from Seller of the

Purchase Contract and its inspection and investigations of the Property,  not to
exceed the sum of $30,000.00 in the aggregate);

amended;

proceedings,  litigation or governmental  investigations or condemnation actions
either pending or threatened against the Property, as applicable;

                  8.1.1.7  Seller  has no  knowledge  of any  claims  for  labor
performed,   materials   furnished  or  services  rendered  in  connection  with

respect to the Property;

                  8.1.1.9 To Seller's  knowledge,  Seller has not  received  any

the same manner as Seller has been operating the Property  immediately  prior to

condition on the Closing Date; and

                  8.1.1.12 To Seller's knowledge,  all documents relating to the
Property  that are  delivered  by Seller to Purchaser  in  connection  with this
Purchase Contract,  are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and
none contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact.

            8.1.2 Except for the  representations  and warranties  expressly set
forth above in Subsection  8.1.1,  the Property is expressly  purchased and sold
"AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." The Purchase Price and the terms and
conditions set forth herein are the result of  arm's-length  bargaining  between
entities  familiar with  transactions  of this kind,  and said price,  terms and
conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and is not
relying  upon any  information  provided  by Seller,  "Broker"  (as  hereinafter
defined)  or  "Other   Broker"  (as   hereinafter   defined),   or   statements,
representations  or  warranties,  express  or  implied,  made by or  enforceable
directly against Seller, Broker or Other Broker, including,  without limitation,
any  relating  to the  value of the  Property,  the  physical  or  environmental
condition of the Property,  any state, federal,  county or local law, ordinance,
order or permit;  or the  suitability,  compliance  or lack of compliance of the
Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to
the Property  (other than any  covenants of title  contained in the Deed and the
representations set forth in this ARTICLE 8). If Seller provides or has provided
any documents,  summaries,  opinions or work product of consultants,  surveyors,
architects,  engineers,  title companies,  governmental authorities or any other
person or entity with respect to the Property,  including,  without  limitation,
the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done
so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties,  Purchaser shall not
rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such  documents,  summaries,
opinions or work  product  shall not create or give rise to any  liability of or
against  Seller,  Seller's  partners or  affiliates  or any of their  respective
partners, officers, directors, participants,  employees, contractors, attorneys,
consultants,     representatives,     agents,     successors,     assigns     or
predecessors-in-interest.    Purchaser   acknowledges   and   agrees   that   no
representation  has been made and no  responsibility  is assumed by Seller  with
respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or
the  compliance  of the  Property  with any other  laws,  rules,  ordinances  or
regulations,  the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property,
the continuation of contracts,  continued  occupancy levels of the Property,  or
any part  thereof,  or the  continued  occupancy  by  tenants  of any Leases or,
without limiting any of the foregoing,  occupancy at Closing.  Prior to Closing,
Seller  shall  have the right,  but not the  obligation,  to enforce  its rights
against any and all Property occupants,  guests or tenants.  Except as otherwise
set forth  herein,  Purchaser  agrees that the  departure  or removal,  prior to
Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for,
nor shall it give  rise to,  any  claim on the part of  Purchaser,  nor shall it
affect the obligations of Purchaser  under this Purchase  Contract in any manner
whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the deed with
or without such tenants in possession  and without any allowance or reduction in
the Purchase  Price under this  Purchase  Contract.  Purchaser  hereby  releases
Seller  from  any and all  claims  and  liabilities  relating  to the  foregoing
matters.

            8.1.3 Seller agrees that Purchaser  shall be entitled to rely on the
foregoing  representations  and  warranties  made  by  Seller  herein  and  that
Purchaser has so relied.  Seller and Purchaser agree that those  representations
and  warranties  contained in Section 8.1 shall survive  Closing for a period of
one (1) year (the "Survival  Period").  Seller shall have no liability after the
Survival  Period with respect to the  representations  and warranties  contained
herein except to the extent that Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller
during the Survival Period for breach of any representation or warranty.  In the
event that  Seller  breaches  any  representation  contained  in Section 8.1 and
Purchaser  had  knowledge  of such breach prior to the Closing  Date,  Purchaser
shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery,  and Seller shall not have
any liability in connection therewith.

            8.1.4  Representations and warranties above made to the knowledge of
Seller  shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For  purposes of this
Purchase  Contract,  the term Seller's  "knowledge" shall mean and refer to only
actual knowledge of the Designated  Representative  (as hereinafter  defined) of
the Seller and shall not be  construed  to refer to the  knowledge  of any other
partner, officer,  director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or
any affiliate of the Seller,  or to impose upon such  Designated  Representative
any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence
thereof  pertains,  or  to  impose  upon  such  Designated   Representative  any
individual   personal   liability.   As  used   herein,   the  term   Designated
Representative shall refer to (a) Harry Alcock, or (b) Becky White, of Manager.

Contract,  to execute and  deliver the  documents  and  instruments  required of
Purchaser herein,  and to perform its obligations  hereunder;  and no consent of
any of  Purchaser's  officers or members are required to so empower or authorize
Purchaser.

                  8.2.2.3  No  pending  or,  to  the   knowledge  of  Purchaser,
threatened  litigation  exists which if determined  adversely would restrain the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or would
declare  illegal,  invalid or  non-binding  any of  Purchaser's  obligations  or
covenants to Seller.

                  8.2.2.4  Purchaser is duly  authorized to execute and deliver,
acting  through its duly  empowered and  authorized  officers,  and perform this
Purchase   Contract  and  all  documents  and   instruments   and   transactions
contemplated  hereby or  incidental  hereto,  and such  execution,  delivery and
performance  by  Purchaser  does not (i)  violate any of the  provisions  of its
certificate of incorporation  or bylaws,  (ii) violate any provision of any law,

                  8.2.2.5  The  joinder  of  no  person  or  entity  other  than
Purchaser  is  necessary  to  consummate  the  transactions  to be  performed by
Purchaser and  Purchaser  has all necessary  right and authority to perform such
acts as are required and contemplated by this Purchase Contract.

            8.2.3  Except  for Other  Broker,  Purchaser  has not dealt with any
broker,  finder or any other person,  in connection  with the purchase of or the
negotiation  of the purchase of the  Property  that might give rise to any claim
for commission against Seller or lien or claim against the Property.

            8.2.4 Seller will  cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining the consent
of the Mortgagee to the assumption of the Mortgage.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    BROKERAGE

      10.1 Seller  represents  and warrants to Purchaser  that it has dealt only
with O'Boyle Properties,  Inc., 14114 Dallas Parkway,  Suite 520, Dallas,  Texas
75240, and Southwest  Residential  Partners,  Inc., 1800 West Loop South,  Suite
1710,  Houston,  Texas 77027  (collectively,  "Broker") in connection  with this
Purchase  Contract.  Buyer  represents  and warrants to Seller that it has dealt
only with  Janarea  Incorporated  (through  William  R.  Janis,  Esq.),  4582 E.
Kingwood Drive, Suite 207, Kingwood,  Texas 77073 ("Other Broker") in connection
with this Purchase  Contract.  Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants
to the other that other than the Broker and Other Broker,  it has not dealt with
or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder
in connection  with this Purchase  Contract,  and each party agrees to indemnify
the other  party  from and  against  all claims for  brokerage  commissions  and
finder's  fees  arising  from or  attributable  to the acts or  omissions of the
indemnifying party.

      10.2 Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission  according to the terms of a
separate agreement. Additionally, Seller agrees to pay Other Broker a commission
equal to  three-quarters  of a percent  (3/4%) of the Purchase Price at Closing.
Broker  and/or  Other  Broker  shall  not be  deemed  a  party  or  third  party
beneficiary of this Purchase Contract.

      10.3 Broker and/or Other Broker assume no responsibility for the condition
of the Property or representation  for the performance of this Purchase Contract
by the Seller or Purchaser.

      10.4 The  Texas  Real  Estate  License  Act  requires  written  notice  to
Purchaser  from any licensed  real estate broker or salesman who is to receive a
commission  from  Purchaser  that  Purchaser  should have an attorney of its own
selection  examine an abstract of title to the property  being  acquired or that
Purchaser  should be furnished with or should obtain a title  insurance  policy.
Notice to that effect is,  therefore,  hereby  given to  Purchaser  on behalf of
Broker and/or Other Broker.

      10.5 Seller has been  specifically  advised by Purchaser that John M. Area
III, who is the sole officer,  director and shareholder of Purchaser,  is also a
principal  of the Other  Broker and that  Other  Broker  exclusively  represents
Purchaser in connection with this Purchase Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                                   POSSESSION

      11.1 Possession of the Property subject to the Permitted  Exceptions shall
be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing,  subject to Purchaser's right of entry
for inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

      12.1 In the event (a) Purchaser  terminates this Purchase Contract for any
reason  other than  pursuant  to (i) ARTICLE 5, (ii)  ARTICLE 6, (iii)  Seller's
inability to convey title pursuant hereto, or (iv) the inability of Purchaser to
satisfy  Section 9.1.8, or (b) Purchaser  defaults  hereunder on or prior to the
Closing Date, and  consummation  of the Closing does not occur by reason of such
termination  or  default by  Purchaser  (and not by reason of  Seller's  default
hereunder),  Seller  and  Purchaser  agree  that it  would  be  impractical  and
extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer.  Therefore,
Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that,  except for the Purchaser's  obligations
to Seller under Section 5.3, the reasonable  estimate of the total net detriment
that Seller would suffer in the event that Purchaser so terminates this Purchase
Contract or defaults  hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date is and shall be,
as Seller's sole and exclusive  remedy (whether at law or in equity),  the right
to receive from the Escrow Agent and retain the full amount of the Deposit.  The
payment of the Deposit as liquidated  damages is not intended as a forfeiture or
penalty  within the  meaning of  applicable  law and is  intended  to settle all
issues  and  questions  about the amount of  damages  suffered  by Seller in the
applicable event, except only for damages under Section 5.3 above,  irrespective
of the time when the inquiry  about such  damages may take place.  Upon any such
failure by Purchaser hereunder, this Purchase Contract shall be terminated,  and
neither party shall have any further  rights or obligations  hereunder,  each to
the other,  except for the  Purchaser's  obligations to Seller under Section 5.3
above, and the right of Seller to collect the Deposit as liquidated damages.

      12.2 Provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract and
is not otherwise in default hereunder, if the Closing does not occur as a result
of Seller's default  hereunder  (which shall not include  Seller's  inability to
convey  title,  the  inaccuracy  of  either  of  Seller's   representations  and
warranties set forth in Sections  8.1.1.2 or 8.1.1.3.,  the inaccuracy of either
or both of Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.1.1.1
or 8.1.1.4 due to Seller's inability to obtain any necessary consent or approval
prior  to the  Closing  Date  (as  the  same  may be  extended  pursuant  to the
provisions  hereof),  or  Purchaser's  inability  to  satisfy  Section  9.1.8.),
Purchaser's  sole remedy shall be to elect to either (a) terminate this Purchase
Contract  and  receive  reimbursement  of the  Deposit or (b)  enforce  specific
performance  of this Purchase  Contract;  provided,  however,  that in the event
Purchaser  is unable to enforce the remedy of specific  performance  after using
commercially  reasonable efforts to seek to enforce such remedy, then in lieu of
obtaining specific performance, Purchaser shall have the right to bring suit for
damages  against  Seller in an amount not to exceed  $87,000.00  in  addition to
receiving reimbursement of the Deposit.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

      13.1 In the event that the  Property  is damaged or  destroyed  by fire or
other casualty  after the Effective  Date but prior to Closing,  and the cost of
repair is more than  $100,000.00,  then Seller will have no obligation to repair
such damage or destruction  and, at  Purchaser's  option,  this Agreement  shall
terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser
elects not to terminate  this  Agreement,  this  transaction  shall be closed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement,  notwithstanding any such damage or
destruction,  and Purchaser  shall  receive,  at Closing all insurance  proceeds
pertaining  thereto (plus a credit  against the Purchase  Price in the amount of

                                   WITNESSETH:

      Whereas  Purchaser  and Seller are parties to a certain  Purchase and Sale
Contract (the "Purchase Contract") made and dated as of the ________ day of May,
2000; and

      Whereas,  the Purchase Contract requires that Purchaser provide an initial
deposit in the amount of  Forty-Three  Thousand Five Hundred and No/100  Dollars
($43,500.00)  in  cash  (the  "Initial  Deposit")  and,  in  the  event  of  the
continuation of the Purchase Contract beyond the Feasibility  Period (as defined
therein),  an additional deposit of Forty-Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100
Dollars  ($43,500.00)  (the  "Additional  Deposit")  (the  Initial  Deposit  and
Additional Deposit being collectively referred to as the "Deposit"),  to be held
pursuant to an escrow agreement approved by Purchaser and Seller; and

      Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:

      1. Establishment of Escrow.  Escrow Agent hereby  acknowledges  receipt of
Forty-Three  Thousand  Five  Hundred  and No/100  Dollars  ($43,500.00)  in cash
(constituting  the  Initial  Deposit),  to be  deposited,  held,  invested,  and
disbursed  for  the  benefit  of  Seller  and  Purchaser  and  their  respective
successors  and  assigns,  as provided  herein and as  provided in the  Purchase
Contract.

      2.  Investment  of Escrow  Fund.  All  funds  received  by  Escrow  Agent,
including  the  Deposit  (collectively,  the  "Escrow  Fund"),  shall be held in
insured accounts and invested in an interest-bearing  bank account acceptable to
Seller  and  Purchaser  at  one  or  more  federally  insured  national  banking
association(s)  (or  such  other  investment  jointly  directed  by  Seller  and
Purchaser  should Seller and Purchaser each in their  respective sole discretion
determine to issue such joint  investment  instructions to the Escrow Agent) and
all interest and income  thereon  shall become part of the Escrow Fund and shall
be remitted to the party entitled to the Escrow Fund, as set forth below.

      3. Application of Escrow Fund.  Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Fund as
provided  above and (a) if the sale of the  Property is closed by the date fixed
therefor (or any extension  date provided for by mutual  written  consent of the
parties hereto,  given or withheld in their respective sole discretion),  Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Escrow Fund to Seller in immediately  available funds by
wire transfer in accordance with the  instructions of Seller on the Closing Date
as set forth in the  Purchase  Contract,  (b) if the sale of the Property is not
closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension  date) owing to failure
of satisfaction of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations,  the Escrow
Agent shall return and refund the Escrow Fund to  Purchaser,  (c) if the sale of
the  Property is not closed by the date fixed  therefor  (or any such  extension
date) owing to failure of performance by Seller,  Purchaser shall give Notice to
the Escrow Agent and Seller and in such Notice shall state  whether it elects as
its remedy  return of the Escrow Fund or specific  performance  of the  Purchase
Contract;  if Purchaser  elects  return of the Escrow  Fund,  Escrow Agent shall
return and refund the Escrow Fund to Purchaser,  (d) if the sale of the Property
is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such  extension  date) owing to
failure of performance by Purchaser,  Escrow Agent shall  forthwith  deliver the
Escrow Fund in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer in accordance with
the  instructions  of  Seller,  and (e) if  Purchaser  shall have  canceled  the
Purchase  Contract on or before the  expiration  of the  Feasibility  Period (as
defined in the Purchase Contract),  the Escrow Agent shall return and refund the
Escrow Fund to Purchaser.

      If on or prior to the termination of this Escrow Agreement, a party claims
to be entitled to payment of the Escrow  Fund under the  provisions  referred to
herein,  such party shall give Notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party of
the claim in writing, describing in such Notice the nature of the claim, and the
provisions  of the  Purchase  Contract  on which the claim is based.  Unless the
other party sends the Escrow Agent a written objection to the claim, with a copy
concurrently  to the claiming  party,  within ten (10) days after receipt of the
Notice of claim, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been approved.
In such case, or in the event of mutual written  consent of the parties  hereto,
given or withheld in their  respective  sole  discretion,  Escrow  Agent  shall,
within  two  (2)  business   days   thereafter,   pay  the  claim  as  demanded.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Escrow Agent shall  deliver the Escrow Fund to
Seller forthwith upon Closing in accordance with the terms of subpart (a) of the
immediately preceding paragraph.

      When all monies  held by Escrow  Agent have been  finally  distributed  in
accordance herewith, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

      4.  Liability.  Escrow  Agent will be obligated to perform only the duties
that are expressly set forth herein. In case of conflicting  demands upon Escrow
Agent,  it may (i)  refuse  to  comply  therewith  as long as such  disagreement
continues  and make no  delivery or other  disposition  of any funds or property
then held (and Escrow  Agent  shall not be or become  liable in any way for such
failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting or adverse claims or demands,
except  for its  failure  to  exercise  due care,  willful  breach  and  willful
misconduct);  and (ii)  continue  to so  refrain  and so refuse to act until all
differences  have been adjusted by agreement and, Escrow Agent has been notified
thereof in writing signed jointly by Seller and Purchaser or (iii) to interplead
the portion of the Escrow Fund in dispute.

      5. No Obligation to Take Legal Action. Escrow Agent shall not be under any
obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Escrow  Agreement or
for its enforcement,  or to appear in, prosecute,  or defend any action or legal
proceeding  which,  in its  opinion,  would or might  involve  it in any  costs,
expense,  loss,  or  liability,  unless  and as often as  required  by it, it is
furnished  with  satisfactory  security  and  indemnity  against all such costs,
expenses, losses, or liabilities.

      6. Status of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent is to be considered  and regarded
as a depository  only,  and shall not be  responsible  or liable (except for its
failure to exercise  due care,  willful  breach or willful  misconduct)  for the
sufficiency or correctness as to form,  manner of execution,  or validity of any
instrument deposited pursuant to this Escrow Agreement,  nor as to the identity,
authority,  or rights of any person  executing the same.  Escrow  Agent's duties
hereunder  shall  be  limited  to  the  safekeeping  and  investment  of  money,
instruments,  and  securities  received  by it as  Escrow  Agent  and for  their
disbursement  in accordance  with the written  escrow  instructions  given it in
accordance with this Escrow Agreement.

contained  herein,  Escrow  Agent  shall,  at all  times,  have  full  right and
