                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1993 and completed
its initial public offering in February 1994.

The Company anticipates purchasing the following industrial properties which are
collectively referred to as the "Probable Acquisitions": (i) a portfolio of four
properties containing approximately 733,181 square feet of industrial space
located in California ("California Commerce Parks Portfolio"); (ii) a
warehouse/distribution business center containing approximately 114,400 leasable
square feet located in Sacramento, California ("Bradshaw Business Center");
(iii) a business complex consisting of 14 industrial buildings containing
approximately 221,300 leasable square feet located in Sacramento, California
("Horn Road Business Complex"); (iv) a warehouse/distribution business park
consisting of eight multi-tenant buildings containing approximately 110,900
leasable square feet located in Fullerton, California ("Fullerton Business
Center"); and (v) two multi-tenant industrial parks consisting of four buildings
containing approximately 168,300 leasable square feet located in Sacramento,
California (Norwood Industrial Parks"). The Company anticipates completing the
purchase of the Probable Acquisitions with proceeds from the issuance of
additional shares of Class A and Class B Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock which the Company is obligated to issue prior to January 1, 1998 pursuant
to certain agreements and borrowings under its $65,000,000 revolving line of
credit or other capital transactions.

The pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
adjusted to reflect the effect of purchasing the Probable Acquisitions. Further,
the pro forma consolidated financial statements have also been adjusted to
reflect the effect of certain transactions which the Company completed or will
complete subsequent to September 30, 1997 as if those transactions occurred as
of the beginning of the periods indicated.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Company's pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, presented as of
September 30, 1997, is based on the unaudited historical financial statements of
the Company included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and has
been adjusted to reflect the following transactions completed subsequent to
September 30, 1997:

(i)     the acquisition in October 1997 of a controlling general partner
        interest in PGP Northern Industrial, LP, a California limited
        partnership to which the previous owners contributed two industrial

               Properties. The properties were contributed to the Partnership by
               the previous owners at an agreed-upon value of $19,000 subject to
               approximately $15,641 of existing indebtedness and $154 of

               partner in the Partnership with an ownership interest of 63% in

               their $2,869 minority equity interest. Proceeds for the Company's
               acquisition were borrowed under the Company's revolving line of
               credit ($3,977) and then contributed to the Partnership to reduce
               the properties' existing indebtedness balance from $15,641 to
               $12,000 and pay certain closing and other costs. Capitalizable
               financing costs totaling $120 were incurred in connection with
               such refinancing.

        The interest expense on the Company's revolving line of credit
        borrowings and on borrowings under the Company's Acquisition Facility is
        calculated for the period indicated at an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.75%
        and LIBOR + 2.0%, respectively. The interest rates reflected above
        represent the actual rates on the date of the borrowings. A 0.125%
        change in the interest rate on all of the Company's variable rate
        indebtedness would increase the Company's pro forma interest expense by
        $99 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $132 for the year
        ended December 31, 1996.

(Q)     Reduction in interest expense, resulting from the exchange of the
        Debentures into 2,440,002 shares of the Company's Common Stock as of the
        beginning of the period presented (including the related amortization of
        debenture discount and costs of $417 for the year ended December 31,
        1996).

                            Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses of Sacramento Business Park, Anaheim Business Park, Santa Clara
Business Park and Sunnyvale Business Park, four commercial properties to be
acquired by Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. from KIP Properties (collectively
referred to as the "California Commerce Parks Portfolio") for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The statement is the responsibility of management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the combined statement. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined statement. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in a Form 8-K filing) as described in Note 2 to the combined statement
and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses
of the California Commerce Parks Portfolio.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses, as defined above, of the
California Commerce Parks Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          CALIFORNIA COMMERCE PARKS PORTFOLIO

             Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                     For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                   Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") has contracted to acquire
Sacramento Business Park, Anaheim Business Park, Santa Clara Business Park and
Sunnyvale Business Park, four commercial properties containing over 733,000
square feet of industrial space located in California (the "California Commerce
Parks Portfolio"). The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire the
California Commerce Parks Portfolio from KIP Properties, a real estate investor.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses presents the operations
of the California Commerce Parks Portfolio, as defined above, for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (unaudited).
The combined statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in a Form 8-K filing).

Certain expenses that are dependent on the property owner and the cost basis of
the California Commerce Parks Portfolio have been excluded from the combined
statement. The excluded expenses consist primarily of depreciation, interest,
and loan fee amortization. Consequently, the revenues in excess of certain
expenses as presented in the combined statement are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the California Commerce Parks Portfolio's revenues and
expenses nor is it intended to be comparable to the proposed future operations
of the California Commerce Parks Portfolio.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The California Commerce Parks Portfolio is generally leased to tenants with
lease terms which exceed one year and are accounted for as operating leases.
Revenues from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the related leases. Cost recoveries from tenants are recognized as income in the
period the related costs are accrued.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalization Policy

Recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Replacements
and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined statement. Actual results could
differ from these estimates in the near term.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES

The California Commerce Parks Portfolio is managed by R&B Commercial Real Estate
Services. Management fees are 4.5% of total income, as defined. For the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
properties incurred $300,000 and $234,000, respectively, in management fees.

R&B Commercial Real Estate Services' role as the property manager of the
California Commerce Parks Portfolio will terminate upon the Company's
acquisition of the portfolio of the Company.

5. FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS

The California Commerce Parks Portfolio is leased to tenants under leases which
expire at various dates and contain provisions for rent increases based on cost
of living indices. Certain leases also contain renewal options. The minimum
future lease payments to be received under the terms of these operating leases
for each of the next five years ending December 31, are as follows:

and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

        2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Property shall be

Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($625,000.00) ("INITIAL DEPOSIT"), which

toward payment of the Purchase Price upon the Close of Escrow (as hereafter
defined). If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Initial Deposit in accordance
with this Section, Seller shall have the unilateral right at any time to
terminate this Agreement by delivery of written termination notice to Buyer and
Escrow Holder. On the Contingency Date (as defined in Section 5.2 hereof),
unless Buyer has timely elected to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5 hereof, Escrow Holder is
irrevocably authorized and instructed, without further instructions from Buyer,
to immediately release the Initial Deposit to Seller. Buyer acknowledges that
the Initial Deposit shall be released to Seller prior to the Closing, and Buyer
releases the Escrow Holder from all liabilities and claims arising out of Escrow
Holder's compliance with the terms of this Section 2.1.

           2.2 Additional Deposit.

               (a) On the Contingency Date (as defined in Section 5.2 hereof),

Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00) (the "ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT"), and
Escrow Holder is irrevocably authorized and instructed, without further
instructions from Buyer, to immediately upon receipt release the Additional
Deposit to Seller. Buyer acknowledges that the Additional Deposit shall be

from all liabilities and claims arising out of Escrow Holder's compliance with
the terms of this Section 2.2. The Additional Deposit and the Initial Deposit
totaling One Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,875,000)

include and refer to both the Initial Deposit and, from and after the
Contingency Date, the Additional Deposit. The Additional Deposit shall for all
purposes be treated the same as the Initial Deposit.

               (b) If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Additional Deposit in
accordance with this Section, Seller shall have the unilateral right to
terminate this Agreement and the Escrow by delivering written termination notice
to Buyer and Escrow Holder at any time. In the event Seller terminates this
Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to this Section, the Initial Deposit shall be
released to Seller in accordance with Section 2.1 above on the Contingency Date
(if not already released) and retained by Seller in accordance with Section 34
of this Agreement as Seller's sole remedy for Buyer's breach of this Section.

           2.3 CLOSING FUNDS. Not later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time one (1)

an interest-bearing account with a federally-insured state or national bank or
savings and loan association (the "Account"). All interest on funds in the
Account shall accrue for the benefit of Buyer (provided that Buyer provides an
acceptable Form 1099 to Escrow Holder) and shall be held in Escrow as part of
the Initial Deposit. Seller shall have no obligation to pay or credit Buyer with
any interest on the Initial Deposit or the Additional Deposit whether or not
released to Seller, except that Buyer shall receive a credit for interest on the
Initial Deposit held in the Account which accrues prior to the release of such
funds to Seller pursuant to Section 2.1 above.

           3. Escrow.

               3.1 OPENING OF ESCROW. By not later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time

or causing to be delivered to Escrow Holder (a) a fully executed original of
this Agreement (or executed original counterparts of this Agreement); and (b)
Escrow Holder's standard escrow provisions in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "3.1" (the "STANDARD PROVISIONS"). Provided the Escrow Holder has
received the Initial Deposit in accordance with Section 2.1 above, the deposit
with Escrow Holder of the documents described in the preceding sentence shall
constitute the opening of Escrow (the "OPENING OF ESCROW") and authorization to
Escrow Holder to act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the
event of any inconsistencies between

<PAGE>   8
the terms and conditions of the Standard Provisions and the terms of this

are attached hereto as EXHIBIT "3.2" ("DEEDS"), conveying the Land and
Improvements to Buyer, are recorded in the Official Records of Orange County,
Santa Clara County and Sacramento County, respectively, State of California and

following date (the "Original Closing Date") (a) January 6, 1998; or (b) such

(2) Business Days before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4 below),
Seller shall prepare and submit to Escrow Holder and Buyer a proforma closing

        4. EXTENSION OF ORIGINAL CLOSING DATE. Seller, at its option but without
any obligation to do so, shall have the right to extend the Original Closing
Date for three (3) consecutive periods of up to thirty (30) days each
(collectively, the "EXTENSION OPTIONS"). If Seller elects to exercise an
Extension Option, Seller shall do so by delivering written notice (the
"EXTENSION NOTICE") of Seller's election to exercise such Extension Option to
Buyer and Escrow Holder not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the
Original Closing Date or the then existing Closing Date, as applicable. The
Extension Notice shall specify the new Closing Date. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "CLOSING DATE" shall mean the Original Closing Date, as the
same may be extended in accordance with this Section 4. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to
exercise any or ail of the Extension Options, and the Extension Options may be
exercised by Seller in its discretion.

        5. BUYER'S EXAMINATION/REVIEWS/INSPECTIONS.

           5.1 BUYER'S APPROVALS. The Close of Escrow is subject to and
contingent on the satisfaction of the following conditions within the applicable
time periods set forth in this Section 5 for the satisfaction of such
conditions:

               (a) TITLE EXAMINATION. Buyer's approval of preliminary title
reports issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company ("TITLE COMPANY") for the Real
Property Sites together with copies of all exceptions set forth therein
(collectively, the "REPORTS"). Escrow Holder is authorized and instructed to
cause the Reports to be delivered to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after
the Opening of Escrow. If, on or before fifteen (15) days following Buyer's
receipt of the Reports, Buyer delivers to Seller written notice disapproving any
items therein described (other than the Title Company's standard exceptions),
Seller shall thereafter have the right, in its discretion but without any
obligation to do so, to elect to attempt to cure such matters as Buyer shall
have so disapproved on or before thirty (30) days following Seller's receipt of
Buyer's written disapproval notice. Seller shall give a written notice to Buyer
within said thirty (30) day period stating whether or not Seller elects to
attempt to cure said disapproved matters. If Seller fails to give written notice
within such thirty (30) day period that Seller elects to attempt to cure such
disapproved matters, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to
cure such matters. If Seller notifies (or is


                                       4
<PAGE>   9
deemed to have notified) Buyer that it elects not to attempt to cure any such
disapproved matters, Buyer shall have the right, by a writing delivered to
Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the date which is three (3) Business Days
following the date Buyer receives Seller's notice electing not to cure or the
date on which Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure if Seller provides no
notice, whichever occurs first, to terminate the Escrow and this Agreement by
giving written notice of such termination to Seller and Escrow Holder within
such three (3) Business Day period. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller elects
to attempt to cure any such disapproved matter, and Seller thereafter determines
in its discretion that it is unable or unwilling to continue to attempt to cure
any such matter, Seller shall notify Buyer of such fact (the "Cure Cessation
Notice") not later than seven (7) Business Days before the Closing Date, Buyer's
sole and exclusive right in the event that Seller so notifies Buyer is to
terminate the Escrow and this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and
Escrow Holder on or before the date which is three (3) Business Days following
the date Buyer receives the Cure Cessation Notice. Buyer's failure to timely
give any written disapproval in accordance with this Section 5.1 conclusively
shall be deemed Buyer's approval of all matters set forth on the Reports, other
than delinquent taxes and Seller's mortgages which Seller shall remove on or
before the Closing Date, and Buyers failure to timely deliver a written
termination notice following (i) Seller's election not to attempt to cure any
disapproved items, or (ii) Seller's delivery to Buyer of the Cure Cessation
Notice, conclusively shall be deemed Buyer's waiver and approval of all such
previously disapproved matters in accordance with this Section. 


               (b) BUYER'S REVIEWS. Buyer's approval of the documents and items
set forth in this Section 5.1 (b) ("REVIEW MATTERS") by no later than 5:00 p.m.
Pacific Time on November 20th, 1997 (the "CONTINGENCY DATE"). Seller shall make
the Review Matters available to Buyer within five (5) days after the Opening of
Escrow; provided, however, that the Review Matters shall only be available to
the extent such items exist (either copies or originals) and are located either
at Seller's property management office at the Improvements or at the Seller's
office at 2222 Corinth, Second Floor, Los Angeles California ("REVIEW
LOCATIONS"). Further, the Review Matters shall only be available at the Review
Locations for copying and inspection by Buyer at Buyer's expense and upon prior
reasonable notice to Seller, and the Review Matters may not be removed from such
locations. If Buyer, on or before the Contingency Date, fails to disapprove, in
a writing delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder, any of the following Review
Matters, Buyer conclusively shall have been deemed to have approved all such
Review Matters and all information contained or referred to therein:

                    (i) All existing leases and amendments thereto currently
affecting the Land and Improvements ("LEASES");

                    (ii) Plans and specifications for the Improvements;

                    (iii) All existing service agreements, maintenance
agreements, brokerage contracts, and listing agreements currently affecting the
Land and Improvement which will survive the Closing Date, all of which the
Property shall be subject to when the Property is transferred to Buyer on the
Closing Date (collectively, the "CONTRACTS");

                    (iv) A schedule or schedules ("Rent Roll") prepared by
Seller containing (A) the names of the tenants, identification of the premises,
and current rental income payable under each of the Leases; (B) expiration date
of each of the Leases;


                                      5
<PAGE>   10
and (C) the amount of any security deposits currently held by Seller under each
of the Leases (the "Tenant Security Deposits"); and

                    (v) The most recent real property tax statements for the
Land and Improvements; 

                    (vi) A general description of the Personal Property, if
Exhibits A-2, B-2, C-2 and D-2 indicate that the description of the Personal
Property is to be provided by Seller after the date of this Agreement;

                    (vii) Operating statements for the Property prepared by or
for Seller in the ordinary course of business for the eighteen (18) month period
preceding the date of the Opening of Escrow; and

                    (viii) Such other books, records, documents, and other
information relating to the Property which Seller makes available at the Review
Locations for Buyer's examination or which Seller has otherwise delivered or
caused to be delivered to Buyer.

Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind, either express or
implied, including without limitation as to the accuracy and/or content, with
regard to any of the foregoing Review Matters. Buyer agrees and acknowledges
that each and all of the Review Matters are confidential, and Buyer covenants
and agrees not to report, publish, share, circulate, disseminate or otherwise
reveal or cause or permit to be reported, published, shared, circulated,
disseminated or otherwise revealed, to any party, person or entity any or all of
the Review Matters or any information therein or item or circumstance relating
thereto, except to Buyer's contractors and advisors as and only to the extent
necessary for this transaction. Further, prior to delivery of any of the
foregoing to such contractors and advisors, Buyer (i) shall inform each and
every such party that such information is confidential and is subject to a
prohibition on further dissemination or circulation by any means and may only be
used as necessary for Buyer's review purposes pursuant to this Section 5.1 (b)
relating to this transaction; and (ii) shall obtain such party's agreement to
maintain the confidentiality of the Review Matters in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement terminates for any reason, and as
a condition to the release of the Deposit to Buyer if Buyer is otherwise
entitled to such release under this Agreement, Buyer shall return to Seller all
Review Matters previously provided to or obtained by or on behalf of Buyer or
any of its agents from or at Seller's direction, without Buyer maintaining any
copies thereof. Buyer agrees that if the confidentiality provisions contained in
this Section 5.1(b) are breached, the remedy at law may be inadequate and,
therefore, without limiting any other remedy available at law or equity, an
injunction, specific performance or other forms of equitable relief, or any
combination thereof, shall be available to Seller.

               (c) BUYER'S INSPECTION. Buyer's approval of a physical inspection
of the Property on or before the Contingency Date, including all conditions
relating to the presence, existence, or use of Hazardous Materials (as such term
is defined in Section 16 below) on or under the Property. Buyer and its agents
shall have the right to make up to three (3) visits of no more than two (2)
consecutive days each to each Project Site during normal business hours at a
time mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller and upon not less than forty-eight
(48) hours prior written request to Seller, to make, at Buyer's sole cost and


                                      6
<PAGE>   11
expense, those inspections and surveys of the Property as Buyer may desire;
provided, however, that without Seller's prior written consent (which consent
may be withheld in Seller's discretion), Buyer shall not be entitled (1) to
perform or cause to be performed any invasive or destructive actions, punctures
or drilling of any kind; and (2) to initiate any inquiry or request (including
any inquiry or request relating to any zoning variance, zone change, or
conditional use permit) directed at any governmental official with respect to
the Property; provided, however, that nothing in this clause (2) shall be deemed
to prevent Buyer from inspecting or reviewing any or all records of any federal,
state, or local governmental authority. Buyer shall not be entitled to enter the
Property without being accompanied by a designated representative of Seller.
Buyer shall use all due care and consideration in connection with its
inspections and shall comply with all applicable laws. Buyer shall immediately
repair any and all damage resulting from the acts or omissions of Buyer or
Buyer's agents, employees, contractors, representatives or subcontractors
relating to the whole or any part of the Property. Buyer shall indemnify, defend
and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all expenses, costs, fees,
suits, actions, obligations, liabilities and damages (including attorneys' fees
and costs) directly or indirectly resulting from such entry, acts or omissions
by Buyer, its agents, employees, representatives, contractors or subcontractors.
Buyer shall not cause or permit in any way any liens or encumbrances upon or
relating to any Property or any interest therein as a result of Buyer's or
Buyer's agents', employees', contractors', subcontractors' or representatives'
acts or omissions with regard to the Property. Buyer may, not later than the
Contingency Date, give a written termination notice to Seller disapproving (with
specific detail) the results of any such surveys and inspections. If Buyer does
not timely give notice of disapproval as aforesaid, then Buyer conclusively
shall be deemed to have approved the results of the inspections and the
condition of the Property. Any qualified or conditional approval of any of the
matters set forth in this Section 5.1(c) shall conclusively be deemed to
constitute Buyer's disapproval of such matter. Commencing with Buyer's execution
of this Agreement and at all times prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall
have in effect workers compensation and employer's liability insurance with
statutory limits of coverage as required by law, and with a limit of liability
for coverage B of at least $1,000,000 each occurrence/aggregate, and commercial
general liability insurance naming Seller as an additional insured, with (i)
commercially reasonable coverage; (ii) waiver of subrogation; and (iii) limits
of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily and personal injury
and property damage. Prior to entering the Property, Buyer shall deliver to
Seller certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage and further evidencing
that such coverage may only be terminated or modified upon thirty (30) day's
prior written notice to Seller. Buyer's indemnity, defense and other obligations
and covenants in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement or
the Closing, as applicable.

           5.2 FUNDING APPROVAL. The obligations of Buyer under this Agreement
are not subject to or contingent upon in any way Buyers receipt of approval of
funding or obtaining any financing from any source, and Buyer covenants and
agrees to pay the Purchase Price in all cash regardless of any financing
arrangements Buyer may pursue.

           5.3 TERMINATION. This Agreement and the Escrow shall terminate upon
(a) Buyer's disapproval of any of the matters described in Sections 5.1(a)
(subject to Seller's right to cure disapproved title matters), 5.1(b) or 5.1(c)
above or Section 14.1, below within the applicable time periods set forth in
such Sections; or (b) failure of the condition set forth in Section 8.1.3 below
to occur within the applicable time period set forth in such Section, and
Buyer's failure to waive such condition. Upon any termination of this Agreement


                                       7

Days prior to the Contingency Date, Seller shall have the right to provide Buyer
with a written statement showing Seller's allocation of the Purchase Price among

contemplated by this Agreement for state and federal tax purposes in a manner
consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price shown in the Allocation

           5.5 NO OBLIGATION BY SELLER TO CORRECT DEFECTS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY
OF THE OTHER TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SELLER
SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND TO CORRECT OR OTHERWISE ADDRESS ANY
DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT OF ANY KIND WHICH BUYER CLAIMS TO EXIST BASED UPON BUYER'S
INSPECTION OR REVIEW OF ANY OR ALL OF THE MATTERS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS
SECTION 5.

        6. DEPOSITS BY SELLER. Seller shall execute and acknowledge (where

        8. CONDITIONS OF CLOSING.

           8.1 BUYER'S CONDITIONS. In addition to the other terms and provisions
of this Agreement which give Buyer the express right to terminate this Agreement
and the Escrow created pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer's obligation to
purchase the Property from Seller at the Close of Escrow shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions (or Buyer's written waiver thereof, it
being agreed that Buyer may waive any or all of such conditions) within the
applicable periods set forth in this Agreement for the satisfaction of such
conditions:

               8.1.1 TITLE INSURANCE. It shall be a condition to Buyer's
obligation to purchase the Property at the Close of Escrow that, on the Closing
Date, the Title Company be prepared and committed to issue to Buyer a CLTA
Standard Coverage Owner's Title Insurance Policy for each of the Real Property
Sites (collectively "TITLE POLICIES" and individually "TITLE POLICY"), each
written with liability in the amount of that portion of the Purchase Price

fee title vested in Buyer, subject only to (i) liens to secure payment of
general and special property taxes, not delinquent, (ii) supplemental taxes, if
any, assessed pursuant to the provisions of Part 0.5, Chapter 3.5 or Part 2,
Chapter 3, Articles 3 and 4, respectively (commencing with Section 75) of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code; (iii) the Title Company's standard and
customary exceptions set forth in said Title Policy, (iv) matters affecting the
condition of title created by, with the consent of, or which attach through
Buyer or as a result of Buyer's or Buyer's agents', employees', contractors' or
representatives' activities, (v) the Leases and all matters relating to
tenants-in-possession under the Leases, (vi) the Contracts, and (vii) those
title matters approved or waived (or deemed approved or waived) by Buyer
pursuant to Section 5 above;

               8.1.2 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS BY SELLER. Seller shall have
delivered or caused to be delivered to the Escrow Holder all of the documents
described in Section 6 above; and

               8.1.3 TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Buyer shall have received
tenant estoppel certificates substantially in the form of EXHIBIT "8.1.3"
attached hereto or in a form containing information substantially comparable to
the information contained in EXHIBIT "8.1.3" attached hereto (collectively, the
"ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES") from tenants under the Leases (collectively, the
"TENANTS") who, collectively, occupy a total of at


                                       9
<PAGE>   14
least sixty percent (60%) of the total rentable square footage in the
Improvements occupied by all Tenants as of the Opening of Escrow (the "TARGET
PERCENTAGE"). Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to deliver the Target
Percentage of completed Estoppel Certificates to Buyer on or before the date
which is ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL DELIVERY
DATE"); provided, however, that (i) Seller conclusively shall be deemed to have
used its reasonable efforts to deliver the Target Percentage of Estoppel
Certificates to Buyer in accordance with this Section if Seller has submitted a
written request to Tenants who, collectively, occupy at least sixty percent
(60%) of the total rentable square footage in the Improvements occupied by
Tenants as of the Opening of Escrow requesting that each of such Tenants
complete, sign and return an Estoppel Certificate to Seller not later than one
(1) day before the Estoppel Delivery Date; and (ii) Seller shall have no
liability of any kind to Buyer as a result of Seller's failure for any reason to
obtain or deliver any or all of the Estoppel Certificates to Buyer pursuant to
this Section, as long as (A] Seller has complied with clause (i) of this Section
8.1.3; and [B] Seller delivers to Buyer all signed and completed Estoppel
Certificates actually received by Seller from the Tenants as of the last
Business Day prior to the Estoppel Delivery Date. If Seller determines that it
is unable to obtain an Estoppel Certificate from one or more Tenants, Seller, in
its discretion but without any obligation to do so, shall have the right to
deliver to Buyer on or before the Estoppel Delivery Date Seller's written
certification as to the truth and accuracy of the matters set forth in the
Estoppel Certificate for any or all Tenants who have not executed an Estoppel
Certificate (such certification by Seller is referred to as a "Substitute
Estoppel Certificate"), and any such Substitute Estoppel Certificates shall be
accepted by Buyer in lieu of Estoppel Certificates, signed by the applicable
Tenants, provided that the information contained in such Substitute Estoppel
Certificates is consistent with the information in the applicable Leases which
have been approved by Buyer. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed
to obligate Seller to make any monetary payment or pay any other consideration
of any kind to a Tenant in order to obtain an Estoppel Certificate from such
Tenant. If Seller fails to deliver the Target Percentage of Estoppel
Certificates (including any Substitute Estoppel Certificates) to Buyer by the
Estoppel Delivery Date (the delivery of the Target Percentage of Estoppel
Certificates (including any Substitute Estoppel Certificates) is referred to as
the "ESTOPPEL CONDITION"), Buyer may give written notice to Seller and Escrow
Holder on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day which is two (2) Business
Days after the Estoppel Delivery Date (the "ESTOPPEL NOTICE DATE") of Buyer's
election to terminate this Agreement based on the failure to satisfy the
Estoppel Condition. Upon such notification by Buyer, this Agreement and the
Escrow shall terminate, subject to the remaining terms of this Section. Buyer's
failure to notify Seller and Escrow Holder that the Estoppel Condition has not
been satisfied within the time period described in this Section conclusively
shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's waiver of the Estoppel Condition. Buyer's
sole and exclusive right in the event that the Estoppel Condition is not
satisfied shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section.
If the Estoppel Condition is not satisfied and Buyer elects to terminate this
Agreement, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, this Agreement and the Escrow shall not terminate and shall remain in
full force and effect, and the Estoppel Condition shall be deemed to be
satisfied, if (1) within two (2) Business Days after the Estoppel Notice Date,
Seller, in its discretion but without any obligation to do so, delivers to Buyer
Substitute Estoppel Certificates which, when considered together with the signed
Estoppel Certificates and any other Substitute Estoppel Certificates previously
delivered to Buyer, will result in Buyer having received the Target Percentage
of Estoppel Certificates (including any Substitutes Estoppel Certificates); and
(2) the information contained in such Substitute Estoppel Certificates is
consistent with the information in the applicable Leases which have been
approved by Buyer. The certifications by Seller


                                       10
<PAGE>   15
contained in any and all Substitute Estoppel Certificates shall expire and
terminate upon Buyer's subsequent receipt of an Estoppel Certificate signed by
the applicable Tenant containing information which is consistent with Seller's
certifications. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to obligate
Seller to provide Buyer with any Substitute Estoppel Certificate or other
certification with respect to any unsigned Estoppel Certificate, and Seller may
decline to provide any such Substitute Estoppel Certificate or certification to
Buyer in Seller's discretion.

        If any of the foregoing are not timely satisfied or waived by Buyer,
Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on the Closing Date by
delivering written termination notice to Seller.

           8.2 SELLER'S CONDITION. In addition to the other terms and provisions
of this Agreement which give Seller the right to terminate this Agreement and
the Escrow created pursuant hereto, Seller's obligation to sell the Property to
Buyer shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following condition (or
Seller's written waiver thereof, it being agreed that Seller may waive such
condition): As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall have delivered or caused to be
delivered to the Escrow Holder all of the documents and funds described in
Sections 2 and 7 above, including the full Purchase Price. If the foregoing is
not timely satisfied or waived by Seller, Seller shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement on the Closing Date by delivering written termination
notice to Buyer.

        9. DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION PRIOR TO CLOSING. This Agreement is subject to
the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1662 (the "Statute").

           9.1 CONDEMNATION. For the purposes of the Statute, a taking by
eminent domain of a portion of the Property shall be deemed to affect a
"material part" of the Property if (a) the taking would result in the inability
to occupy any or all of the rentable space in the Improvements: (b) the taking
would materially interfere with access to the Property; or (c) the taking would
reduce the number of parking spaces now located on the Property. In the event of
a taking of a "material part" of the Property prior to the Closing Date, Buyer
and Seller shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to Escrow Holder and the other party within three (3) Business
Days after the party giving such notice learns of such taking. In the event of a
taking by eminent domain of less than a "material part" of the Property, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Buyer and Seller shall
proceed to the Close of Escrow without reduction or abatement of the Purchase
Price, except that Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller's rights against
the condemning authority at the Close of Escrow. Seller shall execute such
documents or instruments as may reasonably be required to effect such an
assignment. Any such assignment shall be without representation or warranty by,
or recourse to, Seller.

               9.2 CASUALTY LOSS.

               9.2.1 CASUALTY OVER $1,000,000. For the purposes of the Statute,
a casualty shall be deemed to be "material" if the estimated cost of repair of
such casualty exceeds $1,000,000. In the event of any casualty to the Property
prior to the Close of Escrow having an estimated cost of repair which equals or
exceeds $1,000,000, Buyer and Seller shall each have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to Escrow Holder and the other party within
three (3) Business Days after the party giving such notice learns of such
casualty and the estimated cost of repair thereof. In the event Buyer or


                                       11

<PAGE>   16
Seller terminates this Agreement because of such casualty, the Escrow shall
terminate in accordance with Section 5.6 above. If neither Buyer nor Seller
elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and there shall be no reduction or abatement in the Purchase
Price of the Property, except that Seller shall, at the Close of Escrow, assign
to Buyer all insurance proceeds payable with respect to such casualty under the
policies of insurance maintained by Seller and credit Buyer with the lesser of
(i) the amount of any applicable deductible under such policies; or (ii) an
amount equal to the estimated cost of repair of such casualty. Any such
assignment shall be without representation or warranty by, or recourse to,
Seller.

               9.2.2 CASUALTY UNDER $1,000,000. In the event of a casualty to
the Property prior to the Close of Escrow having an estimated cost of repair
which is less than $1,000,000, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and there shall be no reduction or abatement in the Purchase Price of the
Property, except that Seller shall, at the Close of Escrow, assign to Buyer all
insurance proceeds payable with respect to such casualty under the policies of
insurance maintained by Seller and credit Buyer with the lesser of ((a) the
amount of any applicable deductible under such policies; or (b) an amount equal
to the estimated cost of repair of such casualty. Any such assignment shall be

<PAGE>   17
cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Buyer and the
additional cost of ALTA owner's policies of title insurance, if Buyer desires to
obtain such a policies in place of the Title Policies; provided, however, that

        11. PRORATIONS CREDITS. All prorations under this Section (i) shall be
made as of 12:00 midnight on the day immediately preceding the Close of Escrow

accruing after the Proration Cutoff:

           (a) Escrow Holder shall prorate the real estate taxes with respect to
the Land and Improvements for the current fiscal year as of the Close of Escrow
based upon the most current real estate tax information available:

construction of improvements to the Property, additional or supplemental taxes
("Supplemental Taxes") may be assessed against the Property pursuant to Chapter
498, Statutes of 1983, of the State of California. Any bill for Supplemental
Taxes which is not provided to Escrow Holder or which is issued after the Close
of Escrow shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller outside of Escrow after the
Close of Escrow, and Escrow Holder shall have no liability or responsibility

remit such Rents directly to Buyer. If Buyer collects any Rents after the Close
of Escrow which are attributable to any period of time prior to the Close of
Escrow, Buyer shall promptly remit such Rents directly to Seller. If Seller has
been unable to collect all Rents due and owing for periods preceding the Close
of Escrow, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts (without obligation to
institute or prosecute any litigation) to collect such amounts from the

collection thereof shall remit the same to Seller (net of all reasonable costs
of collection incurred by Buyer);

           (d) Utilities, services, operating and all other expenses with
respect to the Property shall be prorated based upon the latest available
information, such that Seller shall be responsible for all such costs and
expenses relating to the period up to and including the day prior to the Closing
Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all such costs and expenses relating to
the period from and after the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall
endeavor to have all meters read for all utilities servicing the Property
including, without limitation, water, sewer, gas and electricity for the period

responsible for any and all fees and charges relating to the


                                       13
<PAGE>   18
changeover of all such services and utilities). If, on the Closing Date, Seller
is unable to have any utility meters read, Buyer and Seller shall estimate the
amount of such bills based on the immediately preceding utility bills. Premiums
for casualty and liability insurance shall not be prorated as Buyer will be
obtaining its own such insurance upon the Closing Date;

           (e) Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be charged with any

Leases prior to the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business) made by the
Tenants under the Leases;

           (f) Seller will receive a credit for all prepaid amounts of any type
relating to the Property and refundable deposits, if any, from utilities,
governmental agencies or others relating to or arising from the Property;

           (g) Seller shall be responsible for insurance provided up to the
Closing Date; 

           (h) Income and expenses under the Contracts and all other expenses of
operating the Property which relate to the period prior to the Close of Escrow
shall accrue to or be paid by Seller, as applicable. Income and expenses under
the Contracts and all other expenses of operating the Property which relate to
the period from and after the Close of Escrow shall accrue to or be paid by
Buyer, as applicable; and

           (i) Seller shall be credited and Buyer shall be charged with "Buyer's
Total Share of Approved New Lease Costs" (as such term is defined in Section
14.4 below).

        If any errors or omissions are made regarding adjustments and prorations
as aforesaid, the parties shall make the appropriate corrections promptly upon
the discovery thereof, provided that the party entitled to the correction makes
a written request for such correction to the other party (accompanied by
reasonably detailed information which substantiates the error) within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. If any estimations are made at
the Closing Date regarding adjustments or prorations (including any with respect
to utility charges, and operating costs and expenses relating to the Property),
the parties shall make the appropriate correction on a mutually acceptable date
which is approximately one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence to the contrary, any adjustment required
with respect to Supplemental Taxes shall be made pursuant to Section 11(b)
above without regard to the time limitations contained in this Section. Any
mutually agreed upon corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid in cash to
the party entitled thereto promptly upon demand.

               (b) Cause the Deeds and any other documents which the parties

California;

               (c) Disburse from funds deposited by Buyer with Escrow Holder

               (d) Deliver the Title Policies to Buyer.

           12.2 DELIVERIES. Upon confirmation of recordation of the Deeds,

        13. OPERATIONS DURING ESCROW. Seller shall (and Seller shall so instruct
the Property Manager to) operate and maintain the Property from and after the
date hereof until the Closing Date in the ordinary course in substantially the
same manner and fashion (other than as may be required as a result of the sale
of the Property) as prior to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Contingency Date Seller agrees
that it will not (and Seller will instruct the Property Manager not to) without
the prior written consent of the Buyer: (i) enter into any new contract (except
automatic renewals) which affects the Property or goods or services provided to
the Land or Improvements or its tenants ("Operating Contract") having a term
that extends beyond the Closing Date, except for Operating Contracts terminable
by Buyer on not more than thirty (30) days' notice to the respective vendor or
contractor without penalty to Buyer. Buyer will be deemed to have approved
matters submitted to Buyer under this Section 13 for approval if within three
(3) Business Days of notice and request for approval Buyer has not objected to
the proposed action.

        14. CONDUCT OF RENTAL ACTIVITY PRIOR TO CLOSING.

           14.1 RENTAL ACTIVITY PRIOR TO THE CONTINGENCY DATE. On or before the
Contingency Date, Seller shall have the right to enter into (a) any new Lease
for space in the Improvements ("New Lease"); and (b) any modification or
supplement to any existing lease ("Lease Modification") without Buyer's prior
approval. Within three (3) Business Days after executing any New Lease or Lease
Modification, Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of such New Lease or Lease
Modification. Buyer shall have the right to approve or


                                       15
<PAGE>   20
disapprove such documents as part of the Review Matters by notice given to
Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the later of (i) three (3) Business Days after
Buyer's receipt of such documents; or (ii) the Contingency Date. Buyer's failure
to disapprove any of such documents in the manner described in this Section
within the applicable time period shall conclusively be deemed to constitute
Buyer's approval of such documents. Any conditional or qualified approval by
Buyer of any of such documents shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval of
such documents. This Agreement and the Escrow shall terminate upon Buyer's
disapproval of any of such documents within the applicable time period set forth
in this Section.

           14.2 RENTAL ACTIVITY AFTER THE CONTINGENCY DATE. Provided that Buyer
is not in default under this Agreement and this Agreement has not been
terminated pursuant to any of the terms of this Agreement, and except as
otherwise provided in this Section, between the Contingency Date and the Closing
Date Seller shall not enter into any New Lease or Lease Modification without
Buyer's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall be entitled to
enter into any New Lease or Lease Modification without Buyer's approval,
provided that (a) in the case of a New Lease, the (i) New Lease is prepared on
Seller's standard form of lease agreement, with only such modifications as are
commercially reasonable or not material in nature; (ii) the rental rate for such
New Lease is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the asking rental rate
as shown on a pro forma rental rate schedule delivered by Seller to Buyer not
later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Contingency Date (such schedule
is referred to as the "Pro Forma Leasing Schedule"); (iii) the allowance for
costs of tenant improvements to be completed or paid for by Seller under the New
Lease does not exceed the pro forma tenant improvement allowance shown in the
Pro Forma Leasing Schedule; and (iv) the leasing commission payable by Seller in
connection with the New Lease does not exceed the pro forma leasing commission
shown in the Pro Forma Leasing Schedule; and (b) in the case of a Lease
Modification, the Lease Modification is not material in nature. For purposes of
this Section, a Lease Modification which is not material in nature shall be
deemed to include, without limitation, an existing Lease which is renewed or
extended on a month-to-month basis or renewal or extension of an existing Lease
pursuant to the terms of such Lease or notices of renewal or extension given
pursuant to the terms of such Lease. With respect to any New Lease or Lease
Modification which requires Buyer's approval under the terms of this Section,
Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of Buyer's approval or disapproval of each
such New Lease or Lease Modification submitted to Buyer within three (3)
Business Days after Buyer's receipt thereof. Buyer's failure to disapprove any
New Lease or Lease Modification in accordance with the procedure and within the
three-day period specified in this Section shall conclusively be deemed to
constitute Buyer's approval of such New Lease or Lease Modification. Any notice
of disapproval of a New Lease or Lease Modification by Buyer shall set forth
Buyer's specific objections thereto. Any conditional or qualified approval by
Buyer of any New Lease shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval of such
New Lease or Lease Modification. Seller shall have the right to submit a New
Lease or Lease Modification to Buyer for approval after Seller's execution
thereof, provided that the New Lease or Lease Modification contains appropriate
conditions regarding Buyer's approval of the New Lease or Lease Modification.

           14.3 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 14, the
following terms shall have the following definitions:

SUCH MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY, AND BUYER ASSUMES FULL AND COMPLETE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE, AND NATURE AND EXTENT

REPRESENTATIVE OF BUYER HAS ACTED AS AGENT FOR AND ON BEHALF OF BUYER IN THIS
TRANSACTION.

           17.3 RELEASE. As a material inducement to and part consideration for
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the performance by
Seller of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and effective as of
the date set forth in Section 17.5 below, Buyer, on behalf of Buyer and Buyer's
partners, officers, directors, predecessors, successors and assigns, hereby
expressly, fully and forever releases and discharges (which release and
discharge shall be continuing and shall survive the Closing and the transfer of
the Property and/or any termination of this Agreement) Seller, its members,
managers, employees, officers, consultants, attorneys, and agents, from any and
all losses, expenses, claims, costs, damages, rights of subrogation, debts,
attorneys' fees,


                                       22
<PAGE>   27
actions, suits, judgments, awards, obligations and/or liabilities of any kind,
whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, known or unknown, or suspected or
unsuspected, with respect to or in any way relating to or indirectly or directly
arising out of (1) the whole or any part of the Property, Leases, and/or
Contracts or any fact, event, circumstance, omission, occurrence of any kind or
nature relating thereto, based on any theory of law, equity or tort now existing
or coming into existence in the future, (2) any Hazardous Material on or under
the Property at the Close of Escrow or released on or under the Property
subsequent thereto, and (3) any required clean-up of any and all Hazardous
Material which might remain or subsequently be placed on or under the Property,
including without limitation any personal injuries suffered by any person or
persons.

           17.4 WAIVER. Buyer and its successors, assigns, heirs, devisees and
executors, agrees, represents and warrants that the matters released in Section
17.3 hereof are not limited to matters which are known or disclosed, and hereby
waives any and all rights and benefits which it now has, or in the future may
have, conferred upon it by virtue of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil
Code of the State of California which provides as follows:

               "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
               DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
               EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
               AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

Buyer, on its behalf and on behalf of its officers, directors, partners and
their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, hereby knowingly and
voluntarily waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section
1542 of the California Civil Code as set forth hereinabove, or any comparable,
equivalent or similar statutes and principles of common law of all the states of
the United States, and of the United States, if applicable, and of any foreign
country, if applicable. Buyer, on its behalf and on behalf of its officers,
directors, partners and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns,
understands that the facts in respect of which the releases in this Section 17
are given may hereafter turn out to be other than or different from the facts in
that connection now known or believed by Buyer to be true or that Buyer may
hereafter discover facts or documents in addition to or different from those
which Buyer now knows or believes to be true or exist with respect to any matter
covered by this release, and Buyer, on its behalf and on behalf of its officers,
directors, partners and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns,
accepts and assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be different and no
party or person being released by this release shall have any duty to disclose
or provide any such facts or documents (whether material or immaterial, known or
unknown, or suspected or unsuspected), and that this release shall be and remain
in all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission by virtue
of any such difference in facts, even if any facts were not disclosed.

           17.5 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS NOT RELEASED. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Sections 17.3 or 17.4 above, the release contained in
this Section 17:


                                       23
<PAGE>   28
               (i) shall become effectively only on the Close of Escrow; and

               (ii) shall not be deemed to release the Seller from or otherwise
affect its representations, warranties, and obligations under this Agreement or
any of the documents executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement.

          The provisions of this Section 17, including the release set forth
herein, shall survive the Closing Date and the transfer of the Property from
Seller to Buyer and any termination of the Agreement and shall not be merged
into the grant deed.

          18. LEGAL FEES. In the event of the bringing of any action or suit by
a party hereto against another party hereunder by reason of any breach of any of
the obligations, covenants or agreements or any inaccuracies in any of the
representations and warranties on the part of the other party arising out of
this Agreement, then in that event, the prevailing party in such action shall be
entitled to have and recover from the other party all costs and expenses of suit
including actual attorneys' fees as directed by the court.

          19. NOTICES. All notices or other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
delivered or sent by telex, telecopy, cable or via a reliable overnight courier,

Notice of change of address shall be given by written notice in the manner
detailed in this Section. Refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because
of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to constitute
receipt of the notice, demand, request or communication sent.

          20. Brokers. Except for (a) the commission payable upon the Close of
Escrow to J.B. Grant Realty Advisors ("Seller's Broker"), as Seller's broker,
pursuant to a separate written listing agreement between Seller and Seller's
Broker, which listing agreement may authorize Seller's Broker to utilize the
services of PM Realty Group; and (b) the finder's fee or brokerage fee payable
to R & B Realty Group ("R & B Realty") pursuant to a separate written agreement
between Seller and R & B Realty, each party warrants and represents to the other
that no broker, salesman, or finder has been engaged by it in connection with
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify, hold
harmless and defend Seller against each and every claim for any such fees,
commissions or other amounts, if such claims are based upon any statement or
representation or agreement of Buyer or if such claimant is claiming by, through
or under Buyer. Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer against
each and every claim for any such fees, commissions or other amounts if such
claims are based upon any statement or representations or agreement of Seller or
if such claimant is claiming by, through or under









                                       25
<PAGE>   30

Seller. The foregoing indemnities shall survive the Closing Date or any
termination of this Agreement.

          21. NO SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of both Buyer and
Seller set forth in this Agreement shall, unless expressly stated otherwise
herein to the contrary, not survive the Closing Date; provided, however, all of
the representations and warranties of the Seller and Buyer made in Section 15
are and will be continuous and continuing and all of the same shall remain true
and correct in all material respects through the Closing.

          22. TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGE. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller
may transfer the Property to Buyer as part of a tax-deferred exchange by Seller
pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and that Seller has the right to restructure all or part of the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement as provided in Section 1031 of the
Code as a concurrent or delayed (non-simultaneous) tax deferred exchange for the
benefit of Seller. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller if Seller elects to convey
the Property in connection with a tax-deferred exchange within the meaning of
Section 1031 of the Code and, if requested by Seller, to accommodate Seller in
any such exchange, provided that Seller's election to effect a tax-deferred
exchange shall not create any additional conditions to the Close of Escrow or
extend the Closing Date. Seller, in electing to structure the sale as an
exchange, shall have the right to substitute, assign, or delegate its rights and
duties to one or more entities or persons who will be Seller's accommodator as
seller in the Escrow in Seller's place and stead. Any such exchange shall be
accomplished by supplemental instructions reasonably acceptable to both parties
(the "Exchange Instructions"), including any exchange documents and instructions
with an exchange accommodator. Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller or
Escrow Holder any and all Exchange Instructions provided to Buyer by Seller
within three (3) Business Days after Buyer's receipt of such Exchange
Instructions. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection with the preparation and
review of the Exchange Instructions.

          23. NO OFFER. Submission of this Agreement for examination or
signature by Buyer is not effective as an agreement to sell the Property or
otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Buyer and Seller of an
original of this Agreement.

          24. TIME OF ESSENCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Standard Provisions, time is of the essence of each and every
term, condition, obligation and provision hereof.

          25. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which,
together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          26. CAPTIONS. Any captions to, or headings of, the paragraphs or
subparagraphs of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties
hereto, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used for the
interpretation or determination of the validity of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.

          27. NO OBLIGATIONS TO THIRD PARTIES. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any
of the parties thereto, to any person or entity other than the parties hereto.

          28. EXHIBITS. The Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are hereby
incorporated herein by this reference.

          29. AMENDMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT. The terms of this Agreement may not
be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by each of
the parties hereto.

          30. WAIVER. The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any future breach of any such
provision or any other provision hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement (including matters which may be deemed approved by Buyer under
Section 5 above), no waiver by Buyer or Seller of any of the terms or conditions
of this Agreement or any of their respective rights hereunder shall be effective
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party charged with the
waiver.

          31. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

          32. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and attached Schedules and
Exhibits together supersede any prior agreement, negotiations and
communications, oral or written, and contains the entire agreement between Buyer
and Seller as to the subject matter hereof. No subsequent agreement,
representation, or promise made by either party hereto, or by or to an employee,
officer, agent or representative of either party shall be of any effect unless
it is in writing and executed by the party to be bound thereby.

          33. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
Without Seller's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Seller
in its discretion, Buyer shall not (a) assign any of Buyer's rights or delegate
any of Buyer's duties under this Agreement; or (b) enter into any agreement or
escrow for the resale of the Property. If Buyer attempts or purports to enter
into any assignment, agreement or escrow in violation of this Section, Seller,
at its option, shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.

          34. CERTAIN REMEDIES.

               34.1 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION
CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY
REASON OF ANY DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER SHALL BE
ENTITLED TO RETAIN BUYER'S INITIAL DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF $625,000 AND BUYER'S
ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,250,000 AS SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES WHICH WOULD RESULT FROM BUYER'S
FAILURE TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON ARE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE
OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE 




                                       27

<PAGE>   32
AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE
PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF BUYER'S
OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED AS A
FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275
OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH
THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

               34.2 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. BUYER AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT OF
ANY DEFAULT BY SELLER HEREUNDER, BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE AN
ACTION AT LAW FOR DAMAGES (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, BUYER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO,
AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY AND ALL PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECULATIVE AND
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND DAMAGES FOR BUYER'S LOSS OF ITS BARGAIN). ACCORDINGLY,
BUYER AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH DEFAULT BY SELLER, BUYER HEREBY
UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO (A) SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDY; (B) RECORD OR FILE A LIS PENDENS OR
ANY OTHER MATTER AFFECTING TITLE TO THE PROPERTY; OR (C) CLAIM A VENDEE'S LIEN
OR ANY OTHER LIEN UPON THE PROPERTY. THE OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT DO NOT CONSTITUTE PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE MEMBER'S, PARTNERS,
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR SHAREHOLDERS OF SELLER, AND BUYER SHALL NOT SEEK RECOURSE
AGAINST THE MEMBERS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR SHAREHOLDERS OF SELLER OR
ANY OF THEIR PERSONAL ASSETS FOR SATISFACTION OF ANY LIABILITY IN RESPECT TO
THIS AGREEMENT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
SELLER TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT WHICH SELLER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER AND SELLER SHALL INITIAL BELOW THIS
SECTION INDICATING THEIR SPECIFIC AGREEMENT TO THIS PROVISION.

express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties
hereto and their permitted successors and assigns any rights or remedies under

affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges
Seller, ITS agents, affiliates, successors and assigns from any and all rights,
claims and demands at law or in equity, whether known or unknown at the time of
this Agreement, which Buyer has or may have in the future, arising out of the
physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Sacto Portfolio (or

     (c) Seller shall cause its agents to cooperate reasonably with Buyer to
facilitate Buyer's exercise of the rights of review and inspection set forth in
subsection (a) above, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of
such rights shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) any entry onto
the Real Property by Buyer, its agents or representatives, shall be during
normal business hours, following reasonable prior notice to Seller and delivery
to Seller of satisfactory evidence of Buyer's general liability insurance, and,
at Seller's discretion, accompanied by a representative of Seller; (ii) Buyer
shall not conduct any drilling, test borings or other disturbance of the Real
Property for review of soils, compaction, environmental, structural or other
conditions without Seller's prior written consent; (iii) any discussions or
'interviews with any tenants of the Real Property or their personnel shall be
conducted in the presence of Seller or its representatives; (iv) Buyer shall
exercise reasonable diligence not to disturb the use or occupancy of any
occupant of any Property; and (v) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller
harmless from all loss, cost, and expense resulting from any entry or
inspections performed by Buyer, its agents or representatives. The provisions of
Section 2.3(c)(v) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, but only for
a period of 24 months after such termination.

     Section 2.4 Permitted Title Exceptions. Seller has previously obtained from
Title Company and delivered to Buyer for its review a current preliminary title
report with respect to each Property (collectively, the "Title Reports"),
together with all documents and information pertaining to the exceptions to
title listed in the Title Reports. Buyer shall, at its expense, obtain during
the Inspection Period any surveys of the Real Property desired by Buyer or
required by Title Company as a condition to the issuance of the Title Policies
described in Section 3.1(a)(iii) below (collectively, the "Surveys"). Seller
shall have no obligation to pay the fees or costs of the Surveys. The foregoing
obligation of Buyer shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer may
advise Seller in writing and in reasonable detail, preferably not later than ten
business days prior to the close of the Inspection Period, what exceptions to
title, if any, listed in the then-current Title Reports or disclosed on the
Surveys are not acceptable to Buyer (the "Title Objections"). Buyer shall not,
however, unreasonably express disapproval of any exceptions to title and, prior
to notifying Seller of any Title Objections, shall endeavor in good faith to
cause Title Company to modify and update the Title Reports to reflect requested
corrections and revisions. Seller shall have the remaining period of the
Inspection Period, if any, to give Buyer notice that (a) Seller will remove any
Title Objections from title (or afford the Title Company necessary information
or certifications to permit it to insure over such exceptions), or (b) Seller
elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. Seller's failure to provide
notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period as to any Title
Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove the Title
Objection. If Seller so notifies or is deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller
shall not remove any or all of the Title Objections, Buyer shall have until the
close of the Inspection Period to determine whether (i) to proceed with the

                                       -6-
<PAGE>   8

purchase and take the Sacto Portfolio subject to such exceptions or (ii) to
terminate this Agreement. Buyer's delivery of the Inspection Letter shall
constitute Buyer's conclusive agreement to accept the Sacto Portfolio subject to
the Permitted Exceptions. "Permitted Exceptions" shall include and refer to (x)
any and all exceptions to title disclosed by the Title Reports or the Surveys,
excepting solely Title Objections timely identified by Buyer which Seller has
notified Buyer pursuant to this Section that Seller is willing to remove, and
(y) any other exceptions to title approved by or resulting from the acts,
omissions or status of Buyer. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding and notwithstanding any approval or deemed approval given by
Buyer hereunder, except for real estate taxes not yet due or payable, Seller
shall cause all mortgages, deeds of trust and other monetary encumbrances,
including without limitation all mechanics' liens, to be released and reconveyed
from the Property on or prior to the Closing Date. Nothing contained in this
paragraph shall be understood to require Buyer to make any decision with respect
to the condition of title to any Property prior to the expiration of the
Inspection Period, nor to require Seller to respond to any notice from Buyer of
Title Objections.

     Section 2.5 Inspection Letter. At any time on or prior to the close of the
Inspection Period and if and when Buyer has completed to its satisfaction the
inspection and review contemplated by Sections 2.3 and 2.4 hereof, Buyer shall
deliver to Seller an executed Inspection Letter in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B. Buyer's delivery of the executed Inspection Letter shall (i) confirm
satisfaction of the conditions precedent described in Sections 3.1(a)(i) and 3.
1(a)(ii) below, (ii) represent the conclusive waiver by Buyer of any further
Inspection Period, (iii) constitute Buyer's conclusive agreement to accept the
Sacto Portfolio subject to any Permitted Exceptions and (iv) constitute Buyer's
conclusive agreement to accept or waive any matters disclosed to Buyer in
writing prior to the close of the Inspection Period.

     Section 2.6 Adequate Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to
expend the time and resources necessary to evaluate the Sacto Portfolio and
possibly forego other opportunities while doing so, Seller hereby grants to
Buyer the rights to terminate this Agreement that are expressly provided in this
Agreement. Such expenditures of time and resources and possible loss of
opportunity by Buyer constitute adequate consideration for Seller's remaining
bound by this Agreement, notwithstanding such termination rights in Buyer.

"Endorsements"), with such Title Policy insuring Buyer in the amount of the
Purchase Price (or, in the case of individual policies, in the amount of the
portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Property), that fee

the Permitted Exceptions; and

or before the date specified for the satisfaction of the condition, waive in
writing the benefit of any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(a) and
3.1(b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's failure to deliver to

Applicable Laws. For purposes of this Agreement, "Hazardous Materials" shall
mean inflammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, polychlorinated
biphenyls, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances,
oil, or related materials, which are listed in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the Resource

As used herein, the term "Seller's knowledge" or words of similar effect shall
mean the current actual, subjective knowledge of Mr. Jeffrey Donnelly and Ms.
Cindy Zimmerman after inquiry of the property managers of each Property. Buyer
acknowledges, however, that such property managers may fail to respond or
respond inaccurately to such inquiry and that Seller shall bear no
responsibility based upon such non response or inaccurate response. Neither Mr.
Donnelly, Ms. Zimmerman nor any property manager or any party other than Seller
shall bear responsibility for any breach of representation. Seller, however,
represents and warrants that Mr. Donnelly and Ms. Zimmerman are the individuals
within Seller's investment advisory organization with principal administrative
and oversight responsibility, respectively, for the disposition of the Sacto
Portfolio and the asset management of the Sacto Portfolio.

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

     (a) during the Contract Period, Seller shall ensure that the Sacto
Portfolio is operated and maintained in a manner consistent with past practices
and maintain reasonable and customary levels and coverages of insurance and
Seller shall not create or acquiesce in the creation of liens or exceptions to
title other than the Permitted Exceptions or voluntarily take any action (other
than as may be permitted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 4.2) to
render any of the representations or warranties of Seller set forth in Section
4.1 materially incorrect; and

     (b) during the Contract Period, Seller will not execute or modify any
Tenant Leases or Contracts, (i) without promptly notifying Buyer thereof and
providing Buyer with copies of the relevant contract documents, and (ii) as to
any Tenant Lease or Contract (or modification thereof) executed during the
period between the expiration of the Inspection Period and the Closing Date,
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 such matter in writing within 5 days following Seller's request for such
action.

     (c) Seller shall terminate on or before the Closing Date, at no cost or
expense to Buyer, any and all Contracts that are not approved by Buyer prior to
the expiration of the Inspection Period. In particular, Buyer will not retain
the existing management agents of Seller for the Sacto Portfolio, and,
accordingly, on the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) cause all management
agreements respecting the Sacto Portfolio to be terminated, and deliver evidence
of such termination to Buyer, and (ii) remove all management personnel from the
Real Property.

     Section 4.3 Buyer's Warranties and Representations. Buyer hereby represents
and warrants to Seller that (a) Buyer has 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, (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, and (c) Buyer has received no written notice of any
threatened or pending litigation which would materially and adversely affect
Buyer's capacity to perform under this Agreement.

     Section 4.4 Limitations. The parties agree that (a) Seller's
indemnification obligations, warranties and representations contained in this
Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement
shall survive Buyer's purchase of the Sacto Portfolio only for a period of 12
months after the Closing Date (the "Limitation Period"), (b) Seller shall be
liable solely for claims arising out of such representations and warranties if
such claims have reached an aggregate $20,000 (i.e., Seller shall be liable for
the first dollar of such claims if the aggregate reaches the $20,000 figure),
(c) Seller's aggregate liability for claims arising out of such representations
and warranties shall not exceed $400,000, and (d) Buyer shall provide actual
written notice to Seller of any breach of such warranties or representations and
shall allow Seller 30 days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach
cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, an additional reasonable time period,
so long as such cure has been commenced within such 30 days and thereafter is
diligently pursued to completion. 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 Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller
refuses to cure or commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort,
Buyer shall have an additional 30 days from the date Buyer receives written
notice from Seller of such refusal or termination within which to commence an
action at law for damages as a consequence of Seller's failure to cure, in which
case any representation or warranty that is expressly set forth in the notice
delivered pursuant to clause (c) immediately above and is material to such
litigation shall survive until all liabilities arising out of the alleged breach
have been finally determined. The Limitation Period referred to herein shall
apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such warranties or
representations. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT,
BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE SACTO PORTFOLIO SOLELY IN
RELIANCE ON BUYER'S OWN INVESTIGATION AND "AS IS," "WHERE IS" AND WITH ALL
FAULTS AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE. BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN
CONSIDERATION OF THE AGREEMENT OF SELLER TO PERFORM AS SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES AND HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY

                                      -12-

OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY AS TO TITLE, LAND
USE CLASSIFICATION OR ENTITLEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL OR OTHER CONDITION,
MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO
THE SACTO PORTFOLIO OR ANY MATTER RELATED THERETO, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE
SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.1 HEREOF. IF BUYER OBTAINS ANY KNOWLEDGE, WHETHER
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, PRIOR TO THE CLOSING
DATE, THAT REASONABLY INDICATES THAT ANY WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN HAS BEEN
BREACHED, ANY REPRESENTATION SET FORTH HEREIN IS NOT ACCURATE, OR THAT THERE ARE
ANY PHYSICAL, TITLE OR OTHER DEFECTS IN OR ADVERSE CONDITIONS RELATING TO ANY
PROPERTY, YET BUYER ELECTS TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROPERTY (NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH KNOWLEDGE), SELLER
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH BREACH, INACCURACY, DEFECT OR ADVERSE
CONDITION, AND BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED SUCH BREACH, INACCURACY,
DEFECT OR ADVERSE CONDITION.

     Section 4.5 Seller's Certificate. Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the
Closing Date a certificate (the "Seller's Certificate") updating the
representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 4.1 through the
Closing Date; provided, however, that if Seller becomes aware during the
Contract Period of any matters which make any of such representations or
warranties untrue, Seller shall disclose such matters in the Seller's
Certificate. In the event the Seller's Certificate discloses any matters which
make any of Seller's representations or warranties untrue as of the date of such
Certificate in any respect or in the event that Buyer otherwise becomes aware
during the Contract Period of any matters which make any of Seller's
representations or warranties materially untrue in any material respect, Seller
shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that Seller has not breached
an express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Buyer shall have the right
to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (a) to waive such matters and
complete the purchase of the Sacto Portfolio in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, or (b) as to any matters disclosed or discovered following the
expiration of the Inspection Period, to terminate this Agreement. Buyer's
delivery of the Inspection Letter shall constitute Buyer's conclusive agreement
to accept or waive any such matters disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the
close of the Inspection Period.

     Section 4.6. Indemnifications. Subject to the foregoing limitations and the
provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 7.12:

     (a) Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless
from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damage, costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees, asserted against
or suffered


                                      -13-


<PAGE>   15

by Buyer resulting from (i) any breach by Seller of this Agreement, (ii) the
untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties made
by Seller pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) any liability or obligation
arising in connection with the Sacto Portfolio accruing prior to the Closing
Date. The survival of Seller's obligations under this Section 4.6(a) shall be
governed by Section 4.4 above.

     (b) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller
harmless from any claim, loss, damage, or expense, including any reasonable
attorneys' fees, asserted against or suffered by Seller resulting from (i) any
breach by Buyer of this Agreement, (ii) the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any
of the representations or warranties made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
and (iii) any liability or obligation arising in connection with the Sacto
Portfolio accruing following the Closing Date. Buyer's obligations under this
Section 4.6(b) shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12)
months, but not thereafter.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                     DEPOSIT

     Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Company,
for deposit into the escrow described in Section 6.1 below, an amount equal to
$100,000 (the "Initial Deposit"). At the close of the Inspection Period, if
Buyer has not then elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, Buyer
shall deliver to Title Company, for deposit into the escrow described in Section
6.1 below, the additional sum of $100,000 (which amount, together with the
Initial Deposit and any interest that may accrue thereon in escrow, referred to
herein as the "Deposit"). 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 of the failure of any of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.l(a) above or in the event that (a)
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.l(b) 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. IN ALL OTHER EVENTS, THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE
DEPOSIT SHALL BE RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. 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


                                      -14-


<PAGE>   16

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. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE
UNDERSTOOD TO LIMIT BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS TO SELLER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 2.3(c)(v) OF THIS AGREEMENT OR BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO REIMBURSE SELLER
FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7.9 OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
EXTENT INCURRED TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                               ESCROW AND CLOSING

Agreement is exempt from the tax withholding requirements of such provisions
(the "California Certificate"); and

          (vi) a certificate from Seller certifying the information required by
Section 1445 of the Code to establish, for the purposes of avoiding Buyer's tax

     In addition, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date, outside of
escrow, to the extent in Seller's possession or control, the originals of all
Tenant Leases and tenant files and all keys to the Property.

     (b) Buyer shall deposit:

     Section 6.3 Prorations.

     (a) Real estate taxes and assessments, personal property taxes, if any,
rental income and all other items of income and expense with respect to the
Sacto Portfolio shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing
Date. Income and expenses shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month and
on a cash basis (except for items of income and expense that are payable less
frequently than monthly, which shall be prorated on an accrual basis). All such
items attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be credited to
Seller; all such items attributable to the period on and following the Closing
Date shall be credited to Buyer. Buyer shall be credited in escrow with (a) any
portion of rental agreement or lease deposits in Seller's possession with
respect to the Sacto Portfolio which are refundable to the tenants and (b) rent
prepaid beyond the Closing Date. Buyer shall not be entitled to any interest on
rental agreement or lease deposits or prepaid rent accrued on or before the
Closing Date, except to the extent any such amount of interest is refundable or
payable to any tenant under a Lease. Seller shall be credited in escrow with any
refundable deposits or bonds held by any utility, governmental agency or service
contractor with respect to the Sacto Portfolio, to the extent such deposits or
bonds are assigned to and accepted by Buyer on the Closing Date. In addition,
Seller shall be credited in escrow with any leasing commissions, free rental
periods or tenant improvement or other allowances paid or endured by Seller
during the portion of the Contract Period after the expiration of the Inspection
Period to the extent such relate to Tenant Leases executed after the expiration
of the Inspection Period and are equitably allocable to that portion of the
stabilized term (i.e. the term following the tenant's entry into occupancy and
commencement of unabated rental obligations) of any such Tenant Lease of the
Sacto Portfolio following the Closing Date. To the extent approved by Buyer or
applicable under any Tenant Lease with respect to any extension term or
expansion of premises that is exercised after the expiration of the Inspection
Period, Buyer shall assume all obligations for any such leasing commissions,
free rental periods or tenant improvement or other allowances payable following
the Closing Date. Buyer shall be credited in escrow with any leasing
commissions, free rental periods or tenant improvements or other allowances to
be paid or endured by Buyer on or after the Closing Date with respect to the
current term of any Tenant Lease executed, or any extension term or expansion of
premises exercised, in each case, prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, and Seller shall pay on or before the Closing Date all such items
payable prior to the Closing Date.

     (b) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a
schedule of prorations to be made on and after the Closing Date as complete and
accurate as reasonably possible. With respect to taxes or other expenses payable
or reimbursable by the tenants of the Sacto Portfolio, the amounts prorated
between Buyer and Seller shall be the net amounts (if any) not subject to
payment or reimbursement by or to the tenants. All prorations which can be
liquidated accurately or reasonably estimated as of the Closing Date shall be
made in escrow on the Closing Date. All other


                                      -17-


<PAGE>   19

prorations, and adjustments to initial estimated prorations, shall be made by
the parties with due diligence and cooperation within 30 days following the
Closing Date, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary
information for proration, by immediate cash payment to the party yielding a net
credit from such prorations from the other party.

     (c) Buyer shall, consistent with reasonable business judgment, exert its
best efforts to collect for Seller following the Closing Date all rental income
which is delinquent on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not
be required to commence legal proceedings to collect such rents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing proviso, Seller reserves the right to pursue any remedy Seller may
have against any tenant with respect to such delinquent rents; provided,
however, that Buyer shall not incur any cost, expense or liability in connection
therewith, and provided further that Seller shall not commence any legal or
equitable proceedings in the nature of an unlawful detainer, eviction or other
proceeding which would have the effect of interfering with any tenant's quiet
enjoyment of its leased premises or result in a lien or encumbrance on such
leased premises. Any sums collected on account of rents after the Closing Date
shall be successively applied to the payment of (i) rent due and payable in the
months succeeding the month in which the closing occurs, (ii) rent due and
payable in the month in which the closing occurs, and (iii) rent due and payable
in the months preceding the month in which the closing occurs.

     Section 6.4 Other Closing Costs.

     (a) Buyer shall pay (i) any sales or use taxes determined to be payable in
connection with this transaction, (ii) all fees and expenses of Buyer's legal
counsel and other third party consultants engaged by or on behalf of Buyer in
connection with this transaction, (iii) any excess portion of the premium for
any Title Policy beyond that which would have been required had the Title Policy
been a CLTA standard coverage policy of title insurance without any
endorsements, (iv) 50% of any Sacramento city documentary transfer tax and (v)
50% of any escrow charges or other fees or costs charged by or reimbursable to
Escrow Company or Title Company and recording fees.

     (b) Seller shall pay (i) all fees and expenses of Seller's legal counsel
and other third party consultants engaged by or on behalf of Seller in
connection with this transaction, (ii) any Sacramento County documentary
transfer tax, (iii) 50% of any Sacramento city documentary transfer tax, (iii)
50% of any escrow charges or other fees or costs charged by or reimbursable to
Escrow Company or Title Company and recording fees, (iv) the premium for any
Title Policy that would have been charged had such Title Policy been a CLTA
standard coverage owners' policy of title insurance without any endorsements and
(v) any prepayment fee or other charge in connection with the payoff of any
monetary encumbrance.




                                      -18-

<PAGE>   20

     (c) Any costs and expenses of closing that are not expressly identified in
subparagraph (a) or (b) above shall be allocated between the parties in
accordance with prevailing custom in the county in which the Property to which
the costs and expenses are attributable is located, or if such costs and
expenses are not attributable to any particular Property, then such costs or
expenses shall be allocated equally between Buyer and Seller.

     Section 6.5 Further Documentation. Promptly after the close of escrow,
Buyer and Seller shall deliver to each tenant of the Real Property written
notice advising the tenant of the sale of the Real Property by Seller to Buyer,
and otherwise complying with the provisions of California Civil Code
Section1950.7(d)(1). Each such notice shall be delivered in the manner set forth
in such Section of the Civil Code. At or following the close of escrow, Buyer
and Seller each shall execute any certificate or other instruments required by
law or local custom or otherwise reasonably requested by the other party to
effect the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 7.1 Cooperation in Exchange. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
Seller may assign its interest in this Agreement to an exchange facilitator for
the purpose of completing an exchange of the Real Property in a transaction
which will qualify for treatment as a tax deferred exchange pursuant to the
provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and applicable
state revenue and taxation code sections (a "1031 Exchange"). Buyer agrees to
cooperate with the Seller in implementing any such assignment and 1031 Exchange
provided that such cooperation shall not entail any additional expense to Buyer
or cause Buyer any liability whatsoever beyond its existing obligations under
this Agreement. No such assignment by Seller shall relieve it from any of its
obligations hereunder, nor shall Seller's ability to consummate a tax deferred
exchange be a condition to the performance of Seller's obligations under this
Agreement.

     Section 7.2 Damage or Destruction.

     (a) Buyer shall be bound to purchase each of the Properties within the
Sacto Portfolio for the Purchase Price as required by the terms of this
Agreement without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to or
destruction of any of the Properties or condemnation of any Property by right of
eminent domain, provided that the occurrence of any damage or destruction
involves repair costs of $250,000 or less, and any condemnation does not affect
a material portion for each affected Property. If Buyer is so bound to purchase
a Property notwithstanding the occurrence of damage, destruction or
condemnation, then upon the close of escrow: (A) in the event of damage covered
by insurance or an immaterial condemnation, Buyer shall receive a credit against
the


                                      -19-

<PAGE>   21
Purchase Price in the amount (net of collection costs and costs of repair
reasonably incurred by Seller and not then reimbursed) of any insurance proceeds
or condemnation award collected and retained by Seller as a result of any such
damage or destruction or condemnation plus (in the case of damage) the amount of
the deductible portion of Seller's insurance policy, and Seller shall assign to
Buyer all rights to such net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards as shall
not have been collected prior to the close of escrow; and (B) in the event of
damage not covered by insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit (not to exceed
$250,000 for each affected Property) in the amount of the estimated cost to
repair the damage.

               (b) In the event that any Property suffers damage or destruction
or condemnation prior to the Closing Date that involves repair costs in excess
of $250,000 or, in the case of condemnation, a material portion of the affected
Property, then either Buyer or Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice of such election to the other party promptly following
the event of damage or destruction.

     Section 7.3 Brokerage-Commissions and Finder's Fees.

     (a) Each party to this Agreement warrants to the other that, except as
otherwise provided in subparagraph (b) below, no person or entity can properly
claim a right to a real estate commission, real estate finder's fee, real estate
acquisition fee or other real estate brokerage-type compensation (collectively,
"Real Estate Compensation") based upon the acts of that party with respect to
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees to
indemnify and defend the other against and to hold the other harmless from 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.

     (b) The parties hereby acknowledge that CB Commercial ("Broker") has acted
as a broker in connection with this transaction. Seller shall be responsible for
paying any commission due to Broker in connection with this transaction pursuant
to their separate written agreement.

     Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns. Buyer may not assign any of Buyer's
rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller. No
assignment by Buyer shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.
Subject to the limitations on assignment expressed in this Section 7.3, this
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Buyer and Seller
and their respective successors and assigns.

     Section 7.5 Notices. All notices or other communications required or
provided to be sent by either party shall be in writing and shall be sent by
United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail,

right of termination pursuant to this Paragraph 4(b), then Buyer shall be
deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement.

               (c) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
this Paragraph 4, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall
have any further obligations to the other hereunder (except under provisions of
this Agreement which specifically state that they survive termination).

to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to expend the time and
resources necessary to evaluate the Property and possibly forego other
opportunities while doing so, Seller hereby grants to Buyer the rights to
terminate this Agreement provided herein. Such expenditures of time and
resources and possible loss of opportunity by Buyer constitute adequate
consideration for Seller's remaining bound by this Agreement notwithstanding
such termination rights in Buyer.

the Closing Date. With respect to any rent arrearages existing at the Closing,
after Closing Buyer shall pay to Seller any rent actually collected which is

proceedings to recover rent arrearages, and provided further that Buyer shall

unpaid commissions, costs or allowances due after the Closing but incurred in
connection with any lease executed on or before the Closing, and for any free
rent, rent abatements or other unexpired concessions that apply to any period

pay prior to Closing any and all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments
with respect to the Property. General real estate taxes and assessments payable
for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date.

shall either receive credit for Seller Deposits and Bonds, in which case all
such Seller Deposits and Bonds for which Seller receives credit shall remain in
place for the benefit of the Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver such
documents as shall be necessary to assign such Seller Deposits and Bonds to
Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be
necessary to assign such Seller and Bonds to Buyer, or not receive credit for
Seller Deposits and Bonds, in which case Seller may obtain a return or refund of
any Seller Deposits and Bonds for which Seller does not receive credit, but only
after the Closing.

                   (vii) Other Apportionments. Amounts payable under the
Assigned Contracts, annual or periodic permit and/or inspection fees (calculated
on the basis of the period covered), and liability for other Property operation
and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs shall be apportioned as of
the Closing Date.

                   (viii) Preliminary Closing Statement. Seller and Buyer shall
jointly prepare and approve a preliminary Closing Statement on the basis of the

computation to Escrow Holder prior to Closing.

                   (ix) Post-Closing Reconciliation. If any of the aforesaid
prorations cannot be definitely calculated on the Closing Date, then they shall
be estimated at the Closing and definitely calculated as soon after the Closing
Date as feasible. As soon as the necessary information is available, Buyer shall
conduct a post-Closing audit to determine the accuracy of all prorations made to
the Purchase Price (the "Post-Closing Audit"). Either party owing the other
party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or the Post-Closing
Audit shall promptly pay said sum to the other party, together with interest
thereon at the rate of two percent over the "prime rate" (as announced from time
to time in the Wall Street Journal) per annum from the Closing Date to the date
of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) days after delivery of a bill
therefor.

               (g) Closing-costs. Seller shall pay for the portion of the
premium for the Title Policy equal to the premium that would be charged for a

recording fees for recording of the Deed. In addition, Seller shall be liable
for any prepayment fee or other charge payable in connection with any payoff of
monetary encumbrances. Buyer shall pay the portion of the premium for the Title
Policy not paid by Seller and for any Endorsements. Buyer shall also pay the
cost of any survey Buyer elects to have performed. Any escrow fees shall be paid

respective legal fees to negotiate and execute this Agreement.

               (h) Reporting Requirements. The Escrow Holder shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements
relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by

qualified to do business in the State of California; this Agreement and all

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12



ments executed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are or will be duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer, and are or will be legal, valid and
binding obligations of Buyer, and do not and will not violate any provisions of
any agreement or judicial order to which Buyer is subject.

        11. Continuation and Survival. All representations, warranties and
covenants by the respective parties contained herein or made in writing pursuant
to this Agreement are intended to and shall be deemed made as of the date of
this Agreement or such writing and again at the Closing, shall be deemed to be
material, and unless expressly provided to the contrary shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Deed and the Closing.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the representations and
warranties of Seller shall only survive for a period of three (3) years after
the Closing (the "Survival Period") , except in the case of fraud or willful
misrepresentation, in which case such representations and warranties shall
survive independent of this limitation; provided, however that for matters as
to which Buyer has given Seller written notice within the Survival Period, the
representation and warranties of Seller that are related to the matters in such
written notice shall survive until all liabilities arising out of the matters
described in such written notice have been satisfied.

        12. Casualty or Condemnation.

               (a) In the event any of the Property is damaged and/or destroyed
by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, and the cost to repair
and/or restore such damage and/or destruction (which cost, for purposes of this
paragraph, shall be deemed to include reasonably anticipated post-Closing rental
loss through to completion of such repair and/or restoration) exceeds One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), then Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) business
days after Buyer's first learning of the occurrence of such casualty and the
cost of such repair and/or restoration. In the event of any such termination,
the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable
for one-half of any escrow fees or charges, and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligation under this Agreement.

               (b) In the event any of the Property is damaged and/or destroyed
by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date where (i) the cost to repair
and/or restore such damage and/or destruction does not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) , or (ii) the cost to repair and/or restore such
damage and/or destruction exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) but
this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to (a) above as a result thereof, then
the Closing Date shall occur as scheduled notwithstanding such damage; provided,
however, that Seller's interest in all proceeds of insurance payable by reason
of such casualty shall be assigned to Buyer as of the Closing Date or credited
to Buyer if previously received by Seller, and Buyer shall receive a credit
toward the Purchase Price for any cost of repair not covered by such insurance
(whether by reason of insurance deductible, co-insurance, uninsured casualty or
otherwise).

               (c) In the event a governmental entity commences eminent domain
proceedings to take any material (in Buyer's reasonable discretion) portion of
the Property after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller
within ten (10) business days after Buyer first learns of such commencement. In
the event of any such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Buyer
and Seller shall each be liable for one-half of any escrow fees or charges, and
neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this
Agreement.

               (d) In the event a governmental entity commences eminent domain
proceedings to take any part of the Property after the date hereof and prior to
the Closing Date and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to (c) above as a
result thereof, then the Closing Date shall occur as scheduled notwithstanding
such proceeding; provided, however, that Seller's interest in all awards
arising

                                      -12-

<PAGE>   13



out of such proceedings shall be assigned to Buyer as of the Closing Date or
credited to Buyer if previously received by Seller.

        13. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered by Seller
to Buyer on the Closing Date, provided, however, that prior to the Closing Date
Seller shall afford authorized representatives of Buyer access to the Property
(during normal business hours and subject to the rights of the current tenants)
for purposes of satisfying Buyer with respect to the representations, warranties
and covenants of Seller contained herein and with respect to satisfaction of any
Buyer Condition Precedent to the Closing contained herein, including without
limitation an environmental investigation. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from any damage or injury to persons or property caused by
Buyer or its authorized representatives during their entry and investigations
prior to Closing.

        14. Maintenance of the Property and Property Personnel. Between Seller's
execution of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall maintain the Property
in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall
perform all work required to be performed by the landlord under the terms of any
Lease, and shall make all repairs, maintenance and replacements of the
Improvements and any Tangible Personal Property and otherwise operate the
Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement, as if Seller
were retaining the Property. After full execution of this Agreement and until
the Closing, Seller shall maintain all existing personnel on the Property in
their current employment positions at not less than their current rate of
compensation. Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing provisions or
the other provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Service Contracts,
in the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Property, Buyer shall not
retain the existing employees and management agents of Seller for the Property,
and, accordingly, on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause all employment and
management agreements respecting the Property to be terminated, and deliver
evidence of such termination to Buyer, and (ii) remove all employees and
management personnel from the Property.

        15. Leasing; Buyer's Consent to New Contracts Affecting the Property;
Termination of Existing Contracts. Seller shall use, or cause the Property's
manager to use, commercially reasonable efforts until Closing to lease any
vacant space, or space becoming vacant, in the Real Property to creditworthy
tenants at current market rents and terms. Seller shall not, after the date of
this Agreement, enter into any lease or contract affecting the Property, or any
amendment thereof, or permit any tenant to enter into any sublease, assignment
or agreement pertaining to the Property (except as expressly authorized by such
tenant's Lease), or waive, compromise or settle any rights of Seller under any
contract or Lease, or agree to return any security deposit, or modify, amend, or
terminate any Assigned Contract, without in each case obtaining Buyer's prior
written consent thereto. Seller shall terminate prior to the Closing, at no cost
or expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts that are not Assigned
Contracts.

        16. Insurance. Through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain or cause
to be maintained, at Seller's sole cost and expense- and each in the amount and
form maintained by Seller prior to the date of this Agreement:

               (a) a policy or policies of insurance (subject only to
commercially reasonable deductibles) insuring the Improvements and Tangible
Personal Property against all insurable risks customarily covered by casualty
insurance and the costs of demolition and debris removal; and

               (b) a policy or policies of workers' compensation and employers'
liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance, and automobile
liability insurance.

        17. Cooperation with Buyer. Seller's representations and warranties
shall not be affected or released by Buyer's waiver or fulfillment of any Buyer
Condition Precedent: Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer and its agents


                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14



to make all inquiries with and applications to any third party, including any
governmental authority, as Buyer may reasonably require to complete its due
diligence.

        18. Brokers and Finders. Neither party has had any contact or dealings
regarding the Property, or any communication in connection with the subject
matter of this transaction, through any real estate broker or other person who
can claim a right to a commission or finder's fee in connection with the sale
contemplated herein except for CB Commercial ("Broker") , whose entire
commission shall be the responsibility of Seller. In the event that any other
broker or finder claims a commission or finder's fee based upon any contact,
dealings or communication, the party through whom the broker or finder makes its
claim shall be responsible for said commission or fee and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the
other party in defending against the same. The party through whom any other
broker or finder makes a claim shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the
other party hereto, its successors and assigns, agents, employees, officers and
directors, and the Property from and against any and all obligations,
liabilities, claims, demands, liens, encumbrances and losses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees), whether direct, contingent or consequential,
arising out of, based on, or incurred as a result of such claim. The provisions
of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        19. REIT. Buyer hereby advises Seller that Buyer is qualified as a real
estate investment trust under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and that, by reason thereof, the maintaining of such status
and the avoiding of any activity which might cause a penalty tax to be applied
is of material concern to Buyer. Accordingly, Seller agrees to make any
modifications or amendments to this Agreement requested by Buyer prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period that may be necessary for Buyer to
maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or in order for it to
avoid a penalty tax; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to
enter into any such modification or amendment that would materially alter or
affect, in Seller's sole judgment, Seller's rights, duties, or obligations
under this Agreement, or would cause Seller to incur any material costs.

        20. Miscellaneous.

               (a) Notices. Any notice, consent or approval required or
permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be

overnight courier service for next day delivery, or (iii) the date of receipt or

other document identical in form hereto or thereto but having attached to it one

right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under any other instrument or
document given in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall impair any
such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default or any
acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right, power or privilege.

<PAGE>   2



Insurance Company ("Escrow Holder"), with regard to the escrow ("Escrow")
created pursuant hereto are as follows.

        1. Purchase and Sale. Seller hereby agrees to sell the Property to
Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

        2. Purchase Price. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the
Property shall be Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,700,000.00),
which shall be paid in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 3 below.

        3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Property shall
be paid by Buyer as set forth below in this Paragraph 3.

               3.1 Deposit. Within one (1) day after the "Opening of Escrow" (as
          defined below in Paragraph 4.1), Buyer shall deposit, or cause to be
          deposited, with Escrow Holder the sum of One Hundred Thousand and
          No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) in immediately available funds (the
          "Initial Deposit"). Until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard time on December
          17, 1997 ("Contingency Date"), the Initial Deposit shall remain
          immediately refundable to Buyer upon demand if the transaction
          contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated for any reason
          whatsoever. If this Agreement has not previously terminated, then
          within one (1) business day after the Contingency Date, Buyer shall
          deposit, or cause to be deposited, with Escrow Holder the additional
          sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00)
          ("Additional Deposit") (together with any interest which accrues
          thereon, the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit are
          hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Deposit"). Escrow Holder
          shall immediately invest the Deposit in a federally-insured,
          interest-bearing account and all interest accruing thereon shall be
          credited to Buyer. From and after the Contingency Date, the Deposit
          shall not be refundable unless the transaction contemplated by this
          Agreement is not consummated solely as the result of Seller's default
          or the failure of a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow for the
          benefit of Buyer. Upon the "Close of Escrow" (as defined below in
          Paragraph 4.2), the Deposit shall be credited toward payment of the
          Purchase Price.

               3.2 Cash Balance. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard time
          on the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit or cause to be deposited,

          charges set forth in Paragraph 10 below and Buyer's share of
          prorations set forth on the Proration and Expense Schedule (as defined
          below in paragraph 11) payable pursuant to this Agreement.

               4.1 Opening of Escrow. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
          Escrow shall be deemed opened ("Opening of Escrow") on the date Escrow
          Holder receives an original of this Agreement fully executed by Buyer
          and Seller, which shall

        occur no later than December 10, 1997, or such later date as the parties
        may agree in writing, or this Agreement shall automatically and
        irrevocably terminate. Escrow Holder shall promptly notify Buyer and
        Seller in writing of the Opening of Escrow. Buyer and Seller agree to
        execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable or customary
        supplemental escrow instructions or other instruments reasonably
        required by Escrow Holder to consummate the transaction contemplated by
        this Agreement; provided, however, that no such instruments shall be
        inconsistent or in conflict with, amend or supersede any portion of this
        Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms
        of such instruments and the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of
        this Agreement shall control.

               4.2 Close of Escrow. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Close
          of Escrow" shall be the date that the Deed (as defined below in
          Paragraph 9.1.1) is recorded in the Official Records of the County
          (the "Official Records"). Unless changed in writing by Buyer and
          Seller, the Close of Escrow shall occur on or before December 23, 1997
          (the "Closing Date").

               4.3 Delivery and Possession. At the Close of Escrow, Seller shall
          deliver to Buyer (a) possession of the Property, subject to all
          title-matters of record or apparent, including, without limitation,
          all Approved Title Conditions (as defined below in Paragraph 5), and
          (b) all keys to the Improvements in Seller's possession or control
          (which Seller may cause to occur through its property manager).

        5. Condition of Title. As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow 
for Buyer's benefit, title to the Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by
Seller by the Deed subject only to the following approved conditions of title
(collectively, the "Approved Title Conditions").

               5.1 Taxes. A lien to secure payment of real estate taxes not
          delinquent shall constitute an Approved Title Condition.

               5.2 Approved Matters. Matters affecting the Property created by
          or with the written consent of Buyer shall constitute Approved Title
          Conditions.

               5.3 Additional Matters. Exceptions which are disclosed by the
          Report (as defined below in Paragraph 7.1) and which are approved or
          deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 7.1
          shall constitute Approved Title Conditions.

               5.4 Monetary Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything to the
          contrary contained herein and notwithstanding any approval or consent
          given by Buyer hereunder, Seller shall use good faith efforts to cause
          all mortgages, deeds of trust and other monetary encumbrances caused
          by Seller, including, without limitation, all mechanics' liens, but
          excluding non-delinquent real property taxes, to be released and
          reconveyed from the Property on or prior to the Closing Date.

                                       -3-

     6. Buyer's Title Policy. Provided that Buyer has timely obtained and
delivered to Title Company (as defined below in Section 7.1) an ALTA survey of
the Land ("Survey"), at Buyer's sole expense, in form and substance satisfactory
to Title Company and in time for Title Company to confirm, by the Contingency
Date, its willingness to issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (Form
B, rev. 10/17/70, with Endorsement Form 1 coverage) in the amount of the
Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer subject only
to the Approved Title Conditions and with CLTA endorsement nos. 100 (modified
for an owner), 101.4, 103.7, 116, 116.1 and 116.7, then as a condition
precedent to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement, Title Company shall
issue the Title Policy in such form upon the Close of Escrow. If Buyer fails to
timely deliver the Survey to Title Company, then Title Company's willingness to
issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, but with a general survey
exception, shall constitute satisfaction of this condition precedent to Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement with respect to matters of title to the Real
Property (as applicable, the "Title Policy"). To facilitate the process of
procuring the Survey, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the most recent ALTA survey
of the Property in Seller's possession within two (2) business days after the
Opening of Escrow.

     7. Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow for the Benefit of Buyer. 
The Close of Escrow and Buyer's obligation to consummate the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction or written
waiver of the following conditions precedent for Buyer's benefit by the dates
designated below. Unless otherwise specified below, Buyer's failure to timely
deliver written notice of its disapproval of the matter(s) set forth below in
this Paragraph 7 shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's irrevocable approval
thereof

          7.1 Title. Buyer shall have approved the legal description of the
     Land and any matters of title disclosed by the following documents
     (collectively, the "Title Documents") prepared and delivered to Buyer by
     Chicago Title Insurance Company, National Business Unit (Mr. John Premac)
     (the "Title Company"): (A) a standard preliminary title report issued by
     the Title Company with respect to the Property (the "Report"); and (B)
     copies of all recorded documents referred to in the Report. Buyer shall
     have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard time on the Contingency Date, to
     deliver to Seller written notice ("Buyer's Title Notice") of Buyer's
     disapproval or conditional approval of any matters shown in or disclosed by
     the Title Documents or the survey, if Buyer obtains a survey of the
     Property in a timely manner. Buyer's failure to timely deliver Buyer's
     Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's disapproval of all
     matters of title. Upon the Closing Date, the Title Company shall be
     prepared to issue to Buyer the Buyer's Title Policy in the form and
     substance required by the provisions of Paragraph 6, subject only to the
     Approved Title Conditions.

          7.2 Physical Inspections and Studies. Buyer shall have the right to
     approve or disapprove, in Buyer's sole discretion, the results of Buyer's
     inspections, investigations, tests and studies, including, without
     limitation, investigations with regard to zoning, building codes and other
     governmental regulations, architectural inspections, engineering tests, and
     soils, seismic and geologic reports with respect to the Property,
     inspections of all or any portion of the Improvements (including, without
     limitation,


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5



     structural, mechanical and electrical systems, roofs, pavement, landscaping
     and public utilities), and any other physical inspections and/or
     investigations as Buyer may elect to make or obtain (collectively, the
     "Tests") by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder
     by the Contingency Date. Buyer's failure to timely approve in writing the
     results of the Tests shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's disapproval
     thereof

          7.3 Seller's Deliveries. At least one (1) business day prior to the
     Closing Date, Seller shall have delivered to Escrow Holder the documents
     described in Paragraph 9.1.

          7.4 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
     of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the
     date made and as of the Close of Escrow with the same effect as if those
     representations and warranties were made at and as of the Close of Escrow.

          7.5 Covenants. By the Closing Date, Seller shall not be in default in
     the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller
     under this Agreement.

          7.6 Tenant Estoppels. As a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation
     to close this transaction, Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer, by
     December 16, 1997, Tenant Estoppel Certificates in the form attached hereto
     as Exhibit "G" executed by all Tenants of the Property as of the Execution
     Date, which Buyer shall have the right to disapprove only if a Tenant
     Estoppel Certificate discloses (A) a material default of the landlord or
     Tenant under the applicable Tenant Lease, or (B) a material discrepancy
     with the corresponding Tenant Lease. Seller shall have the right, but not
     the obligation, to satisfy the foregoing requirement for Tenant's
     occupying, in the aggregate, up to, but not more than, 30% of the leased
     area of the Improvements, by executing Tenant Estoppel Certificates,
     modified as follows ("Landlord Estoppel Certificate"): (X) qualified to
     Seller's actual knowledge (as defined in this Agreement), and (Y) to
     survive only until the expiration of the representations and warranties in
     this Agreement or the earlier receipt by Buyer of a Tenant Estoppel
     Certificate for the corresponding Tenant Lease to the extent that such
     Tenant Estoppel Certificate does not materially deviate from the matters
     set forth in the corresponding Landlord Estoppel Certificate.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the failure of
     the condition precedent set forth in this Paragraph 7.6 shall not be deemed
     to constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.

          7.7 New Matters. If, after the Contingency Date, there shall come to
     exist or if Seller or Buyer shall then learn, discover or become aware of
     the disposal or discharge after the end of the Due Diligence Period on the
     Property of any hazardous or toxic materials or wastes (as such terms are
     defined under federal, State or local law) or of any new, changed, or
     additional item, matter, fact or circumstance affecting title to the
     Property or rendering a representation and/or warranty by Seller hereunder
     untrue (collectively, "New Matter"), then the party who has learned,
     discovered, or become aware of such New Matter shall promptly give written
     notice to the other of same. Buyer shall have two (2) business days after
     (a) receipt of notice from Seller, or (b) delivery of Buyer's notice to
     Seller, of a New Matter within which to disapprove such New

                                       -5-



<PAGE>   6



     Matter by delivering written notice to Seller. Buyer's failure to timely
     disapprove any New Matter shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval
     thereof. If Buyer disapproves or is deemed to disapprove a New Matter in
     accordance with this Section 7.7, then within two (2) business days
     thereafter, Seller shall have the right to either (i) accept Buyer's
     disapproval by delivering written notice thereof to Buyer (or failing to
     provide timely written notice of item (ii) below), whereupon this Agreement
     shall terminate, the Deposit shall be promptly refunded by Escrow Holder to
     Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
     hereunder, except to the extent that such matters expressly survive the
     termination of this Agreement, or (ii) notify Buyer that it has elected to
     extend the Close of Escrow for a period of up to thirty (30) days within
     which Seller may pursue cure of the New Matter by delivering written notice
     thereof to Buyer. If Seller exercises its right to delay the Close of
     Escrow and does not cure the New Matter by the delayed Closing Date, then a
     condition precedent to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall be
     deemed to have failed, Seller shall not be deemed to have defaulted under
     this Agreement, and this Agreement shall terminate as described above in
     subsection (i).

     8. Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow for the Benefit of Seller.
The Close of Escrow and Seller's obligations with respect to the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction or
written waiver of the following conditions precedent for Seller's benefit by the
dates designated below.

          8.2 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
     of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the
     date made and as of the Close of Escrow with the same effect as if those
     representations and warranties were made at and as of the Close of Escrow.

          8.3 Covenants. By the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be in default in
     the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under
     this Agreement.

     9. Deliveries to Escrow Holder.

          9.1 Deliveries by Seller. At least one (1) business day prior to the

                                       -7-



<PAGE>   8



of Paragraph 19 below, each party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys and
consultants. All other costs and expenses shall be allocated between Buyer and
Seller in accordance with the customary practice of the City and County.

               11. Prorations. All revenues and expenses relating to the
Property, including without limitation, real property taxes and assessments.
utility charges, insurance premiums and the like, shall be prorated on a cash
basis as of the Close of Escrow. If the parties are unable to obtain final meter
readings from all applicable meters as of the Close of Escrow, such expenses
shall be reasonably estimated as of the Close of Escrow on the basis of the
prior operating history of the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, rentals or other amounts due by the Tenants pursuant
to the terms of the Tenant Leases which are delinquent as of the Closing Date
shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date but only upon
receipt by Buyer. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any
delinquent rentals, including sending invoices to Tenants for delinquent rent
disclosed to Buyer by Seller, on a monthly basis for six (6) months following
the Closing Date. However, Buyer shall not be obligated to commence any legal
action or incur any cost or expense (other than the delivery of such notices) to
collect any delinquent rent. Seller shall be permitted to pursue collection of
any rent arrearages applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, provided
that Buyer shall not incur any, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer against all
cost, expense or liability in connection therewith, and provided further that
Seller shall not commence any legal or equitable proceedings in the nature of an
unlawful detainer, eviction or other proceeding, which would have the effect of
interfering with any tenant's quiet enjoyment of its leased premises or result
in a lien or encumbrance on such leased premises. Delinquent rentals and other
amounts collected by Buyer, net of the actual, documented, third-party costs of
collection incurred by Buyer, shall be applied first to amounts currently due
and then to amounts most recently overdue. In addition, operating cost
pass-throughs, percentage rentals, additional rentals, other retroactive rental
escalations, sums, charges payable by Tenants ("Additional Rentals"), shall be
prorated on a cash basis as of the Close of Escrow. If, at the Close of Escrow,
it is determined that Seller has collected Additional Rentals in excess of
amounts actually owed by Tenants, Buyer shall be credited for such excess.
Payments of Additional Rentals collected by Buyer and due Seller shall be made
to Seller promptly following receipt and shall be accompanied by a report
showing how same was calculated and such supporting documentation as Seller
reasonably requests. In addition, Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be
debited with (or, if a deposit is not a cash deposit then Seller shall transfer
such instrument to Buyer) an amount equal to the Tenant deposits listed on the
Rent Roll (as defined below in Paragraph 13.1.11) (together with any interest
accrued for the benefit of any tenant pursuant to its Lease) and any prepaid
rent actually received by Seller. In addition, Seller shall be responsible for
obtaining a refund of all refundable deposits, retentions, holdbacks being held
by any governmental entity, any utility company, or other third party under
contract and Buyer shall be responsible for initiating any utility service with
respect to the Property, and posting deposits or other funds required in
connection therewith or in connection with any other contract. Not less than one
(1) business day prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a
tentative schedule of expenses and prorations ("Proration and Expense Schedule")
for Buyer's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any
prorations, apportionments or computations made under this Paragraph 11 shall
require final adjustment, then the parties shall make the appropriate
adjustments promptly when accurate information becomes


                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9



available and either party hereto shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct
the same. Any corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid promptly in cash
to the party entitled thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby agree that if any new
Tenant Leases are executed after the Execution Date pursuant to the provisions
of Paragraph 23 of this Agreement, then Buyer shall bear all leasing commission
costs, tenant improvement costs, free rent or other landlord concession expenses
under such Tenant Lease without contribution from Seller regardless of when such
expenses arise.

               12. Disbursements and Other Actions by Escrow Holder. Upon the
Close of Escrow, Escrow Holder shall promptly undertake all of the following in
the manner and order set forth.

                      12.1 Disburse Funds. Escrow Holder shall credit all
        matters addressed in Paragraphs 3 and 10 and prorate all matters
        addressed in Paragraph 11 based upon the Proration and Expense Schedule
        and disburse the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller promptly upon
        the Close of Escrow and remaining funds, if any, to Buyer.

                      12.2 Recording. Escrow Holder shall cause the Deed, and
        any other documents which the parties hereto may mutually direct, to be
        recorded in the Official Records and obtain conformed copies thereof for
        distribution to Buyer and Seller.

                      12.3 Documents to Seller. Escrow Holder shall disburse to
        Seller two (2) original Lease Assignments and General Assignment and
        conformed copies of the Deed.

                      12.4 Documents to Buyer. Escrow Holder shall deliver to
        Buyer the original FIRPTA Certificates, the original Tenant Notices and
        two (2) originals of the Lease Assignment and the General Assignment and
        each other document (or copies thereof) deposited into Escrow by Seller
        pursuant hereto and a conformed copy of the Deed.

                      12.5 Title Company. Escrow Holder shall direct the Title
        Company to issue the Title Policy to Buyer.

               13.    Representations and Warranties.

                      13.1 Seller's Representations and Warranties. In
        consideration of Buyer entering into this Agreement and as an inducement
        to Buyer to purchase the Property, Seller makes the following
        representations and warranties, each of which is material and is being
        relied upon by Buyer (and the truth and accuracy of which shall
        constitute a condition precedent to Buyer's obligations hereunder,
        subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.7 and the provisions set forth
        below in Paragraph 13.1 and 14.2).

                             13.1.1 Power. Seller has the legal power, right
               and authority to enter into this Agreement and the instruments

        trust, partnership or otherwise) has been taken by Seller in connection
        with entering into this Agreement, the instruments referenced herein,
        and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby. No consent
        of any partner, shareholder, trustee, trustor, beneficiary, creditor,
        investor, judicial or administrative body, governmental authority or
        other party is required for Seller to consummate the transaction
        contemplated by this Agreement.

                      13.1.3 Individual Authority. The individuals executing
        this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein on behalf of Seller
        and the partners of Seller, if any, have the legal power, right, and
        actual authority to bind Seller to the terms and conditions hereof and
        thereof.

                      13.1.4 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of
        this Agreement and the documents and instruments referenced herein, nor
        the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein, nor the consummation

        or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any bond, note, or
        other evidence of indebtedness or any contract, indenture, mortgage,
        deed of trust, loan, partnership agreement, lease or other agreement or
        instrument to which Seller is a party or affecting the Property.

                      13.1.5 Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed in
        writing by Seller to Buyer, or as may be disclosed in the due diligence
        documents made available to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement ("Due

        pending legal proceedings or administrative actions of any kind or
        character adversely affecting the Property or Seller's interest therein.

                      13.1.7 Hazardous Materials. Except as set forth in the Due
        Diligence Documents, or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Seller to

        Laws"), which violation has not been corrected.

                      13.1.8 Insolvency. To Seller's actual knowledge, there are
        no actions or proceedings pending to liquidate or reorganize under any
        bankruptcy or insolvency law or to appoint a receiver for Seller, and,

<PAGE>   11



               Due Diligence Documents, or as otherwise disclosed in writing by
               Seller to Buyer, Seller has received no written notice of any
               bankruptcy of any Tenant.

                             13.1.9 Violations. Except as set forth in the Due
               Diligence Documents, or as otherwise described in writing by
               Seller to Buyer, Seller has not received any written notice that
               the Property, or its current use and operation, is in violation
               of any laws, rules, permits or regulations applicable thereto.

                             13.1.10 No Notice. Except as set forth in the
               Due Diligence Documents, or as otherwise described in writing by
               Seller to Buyer, Seller has not received any written notice of
               any condemnation, environmental, zoning or other land use
               proceedings instituted or to be instituted against the Property,
               nor has Seller received written notice of any special assessment
               proceedings affecting the Property (other than as set forth in
               the Report).

                             13.1.11. Rent Roll. To Seller's actual knowledge,
               the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit "H" ("Rent Roll") is
               accurate.

                             13.1.12 Notices of Default. To Seller's actual
               knowledge, other than as noted on the Rent Roll or as disclosed
               in the Due Diligence Documents, and other than rent which is less
               than thirty (30) days overdue, Seller has not given any uncured
               written notice of default to any Tenant.

                             13.1.13 Arm's Length. Seller has negotiated and
               determined the terms of the transaction contemplated hereunder at
               arm's length as such terms would be negotiated and determined by
               Seller with unrelated parties.

             For purposes of this Section 13.1, "to Seller's actual knowledge"
and all such similar phrases shall mean the actual, present knowledge of Patrick
Scruggs, without any duty of investigation or inquiry in connection with this
transaction beyond exercising his ordinary duties as Seller's asset manager of
the Property. Additionally, as used in this Agreement, the phrase "Seller has
not received any written notice" shall mean that Patrick Scruggs does not have
actual knowledge of receiving the subject written notice. Seller hereby
represents that Patrick Scruggs is the employee of Seller's investment manager,
PMRealty Advisors, Inc. ("PM"), who is primarily responsible for the management
of the Property and is charged with primary responsibility of the operation and
maintenance of the Property and, as such, is the individual employed by PM most
likely to have acquired knowledge about the Property. The representations and
warranties of Seller set forth in this Section 13.1 shall not merge with the
Deed and shall survive the Closing Date for a period of nine (9) months after
the Closing Date, and shall thereupon expire except with respect to claims for
which Buyer, on or before the expiration of such nine (9)- month period, had
commenced legal action for such "Representation Matter" as defined below;
provided, however, that in the case of fraud or willful misrepresentation only,
such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date independent
of this limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the Closing
Date, Buyer or Seller should learn, discover or become aware of any existing or
new item, fact or circumstance which renders a representation or warranty of
Seller set forth herein incorrect or untrue in any material respect
(collectively, the "Representation


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12



Matter"), then the party who has learned, discovered or become aware of such
Representation Matter shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other
party and Seller's representations and warranties shall be automatically limited
to account for the Representation Matter. If, prior to the Closing Date, Buyer
discovers or is notified of a Representation Matter, then Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit by
providing written notice thereof to Seller no later than ten (10) business days
after Buyer learns or is notified of such Representation Matter. Upon such
termination, neither party hereunder shall have any further obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement except as specifically set forth herein. If
Buyer proceeds to the Closing after discovering or being notified of a
Representation Matter, then Seller's representations and warranties shall be
automatically limited to account for the Representation Matter, Buyer shall be
deemed to have waived Buyer's right to pursue any remedy for breach of the
representation or warranty made untrue on account of such Representation Matter.

                     13.2 Buyer's Representations and Warranties. In
        consideration of Seller entering into this Agreement and as an
        inducement to Seller to sell the Property, Buyer makes the following
        representations and warranties, each of which is material and is being
        relied upon by Seller (and the truth and accuracy of which shall
        constitute a condition precedent to Seller's obligations hereunder).

                             13.2.1 Power. Buyer has the legal power, right and
               authority to enter into this Agreement and the instruments
               referenced herein, and to consummate the transaction contemplated
               hereby.

                             13.2.2 Requisite Action. All requisite action
               (corporate, trust, partnership or otherwise) has been taken by
               Buyer in connection with entering into this Agreement and the
               instruments referenced herein; and, by the Close of Escrow all
               such necessary action will have been taken to authorize the
               consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby. By the Close
               of Escrow no additional consent of any partner, shareholder,
               trustee, trustor, beneficiary, creditor, investor, judicial or
               administrative body, governmental authority or other party shall
               be required for Buyer to consummate the transaction contemplated
               by this Agreement.

                             13.2.3 Individual Authority. The individuals
               executing this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein on
               behalf of Buyer have the legal power, right, and actual authority
               to bind Buyer to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof.

                             13.2.4 No Conflict. Neither the execution and
               delivery of this Agreement and the documents and instruments
               referenced herein, nor the incurrence of the obligations set
               forth herein, nor the consummation of the transaction
               contemplated herein, nor compliance with the terms of this
               Agreement and the documents and instruments referenced herein
               conflict with or result in the material breach of any terms,
               conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
               bond, note, or other evidence of indebtedness or any contract,

                                      -12-

        or other agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party.

                      13.2.5 ERISA. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, to
        comply with (A) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
        amended and (B) state statutes regulating investments of and fiduciary
        obligations with respect to governmental plans, that: (i) neither Buyer

        investment manager of the employee benefit plans that have been
        identified by Seller to Buyer and Buyer's counsel as having an interest
        in the Separate Account on whose behalf the purchase is being made, and
        whose funds are being used to effectuate the transaction contemplated in
        this Agreement; or (B) negotiate the terms of any management agreement
        with Seller on behalf of any such plan; and (ii) Buyer has negotiated
        and determined the terms of the transaction contemplated hereunder at
        arm's length as such terms would be negotiated and determined by Buyer
        with unrelated parties.

               13.3 As-Is. As a material inducement to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the performance by Seller of its duties
and obligations hereunder, Buyer does hereby acknowledge, represent, warrant and
agree, to and with the Seller that except as expressly provided in Paragraph

agrees that the foregoing waiver and release includes all rights and claims of
Buyer against Seller pertaining to the condition of the Property, whether
heretofore or now existing or hereafter arising, or which could, might, or may
be claimed to exist, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set
forth herein at length, which in any way arise out of, or are connected with, or
relate to, the condition of the Property.

        14.    Due Diligence.

               14.1 Right of Entry. Provided that Buyer is not in default of its
obligations under this Agreement, from and after the Opening of Escrow through
the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Contingency Date, Buyer,
its agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors shall have the right to
enter upon the Property to conduct or make any and all inspections and tests as
may be necessary or desirable, subject to the rights of any tenants or occupants
of the Property and the limitations set forth below in this Paragraph 14. The
scope of any environmental analysis which requires physical sampling of all or
any part of the Property in excess of a Phase I environmental assessment shall
be subject to: (A) the prior approval of Seller, which Seller may withhold or
condition in its sole discretion, (B) Seller's receipt of written evidence that
Buyer has procured the insurance required pursuant to this Paragraph 14, and (C)
the requirement that Buyer dispose of all such test samples in accordance with
applicable law and at no cost or liability to Seller. Nothing herein shall
authorize any subsurface testing or drilling on the Property by Buyer or its
environmental consultant unless specifically approved by Seller, which Seller
may condition or deny in its sole discretion. Buyer shall obtain or cause its
consultants to obtain, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, prior to commencement
of any investigative activities on the Property, a policy of commercial general
liability insurance covering any and all liability of Buyer and Seller with
respect to or arising out of any investigative activities. Such policy of
insurance shall be kept and maintained in force during the term of this
Agreement and so long thereafter as necessary to cover any claims of damages
suffered by persons or property resulting from any acts or omissions of Buyer,
Buyer's employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, consultants or other related
parties. Such policy of insurance shall have liability limits of not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability, and shall name
Seller as an additional insured.

               If this Agreement terminates, then Buyer shall deliver a copy of
all tests, reports, analysis and the like, excluding financial analysis,
obtained and/or prepared pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 14. Buyer
shall keep the results of all such inspections, studies, investigations,
analysis, reports and the like confidential except as required by law. Buyer
hereby indemnifies and holds the Property, Seller and Seller's officers,
directors, shareholders, participants, affiliates, employers, representatives,
invitees, agents and contractors free and harmless from and against any and all
claims, costs, losses, damages or expenses arising out of or resulting from such
entry by Buyer, its agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors. Buyer
shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics' liens or materialmen's
liens related to Buyer's right of

                                      -14-

        inspection and the activities contemplated in this Paragraph 14. The
        Buyer's indemnification obligations set forth in this Paragraph 14 shall
        survive the Close of Escrow and shall not be merged with the Deed, and
        shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Escrow prior to the
        Close of Escrow, and shall not be limited by any provision of this
        Agreement.

                      14.2 Inquiries. From and after the Execution Date until
        the Contingency Date and provided that Buyer is not in default of this
        Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to make reasonable inquiries to
        the Seller's property manager in writing (with a copy concurrently
        delivered to Seller) in person or by telephone. In the event of any
        in-person conversation between Buyer and Seller's property manager
        related to issues concerning the Property, Buyer shall give Seller
        reasonable advance telephonic notice of, and Seller shall have the right
        to participate in, such conversation. Notwithstanding any other
        provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any information or
        disclosures made by Seller's property manager and delivered to Buyer
        pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 14.2 shall, to the extent
        that such disclosures indicate that Seller's representations and
        warranties are inaccurate in any respect, be deemed a "Representation
        Matter" pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 13.1. Except as set
        forth in the foregoing sentence, in no event shall a verbal or written
        statement by Seller's property manager be deemed a representation or
        warranty by Seller.

               15. Waiver and Release. Except as set forth in Seller's
representations and warranties contained in Paragraph 13.1 of this Agreement
(and only for the duration thereof), Buyer is relying solely upon Buyer's own
knowledge of the Property based on its investigation of the Property and its own
inspection of the Property in determining the Property's physical condition.
Buyer and anyone claiming by, through or under Buyer hereby waives its right to
recover from and fully and irrevocably releases Seller, its employees, officers,
directors, property manager, brokers (including, without limitation, Broker),
affiliates, parent, subsidiaries, successors and assigns ("Released Parties")
from any and all claims that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any of
the Released Parties for any claims, costs, loss, liability, damage, expenses,
demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any matters
relating to the Property, including, without limitation, construction defects,
construction errors, construction omissions or other physical conditions of the
Property, latent or otherwise, including environmental matters, affecting the
Property, or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release
shall not apply to any claims which Buyer may now or hereafter have on account
of: (i) fraud or willful misrepresentation, or (ii) any claim arising out of a
breach or default by Seller under this Agreement which is brought in a timely
manner. This release includes claims of which Buyer is presently unaware or
which Buyer does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Buyer, would
materially affect Buyer's release to Seller. Buyer specifically waives the
provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

               "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
               DOES NOT KNOW OR EXPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
               EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
               AFFECTED THE SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

                                      -15-



<PAGE>   16

             In this connection and to the extent permitted by law, Buyer hereby
agrees, represents and warrants, which representation and warranty shall survive
the Close of Escrow and not be merged with the Deed, that Buyer realizes and
acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may
hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies,
damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated
and unsuspected, and Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants, which
representation and warranty shall survive the Close of Escrow and not be merged
with the Deed, that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and
agreed upon in light of that realization and that Buyer nevertheless hereby
intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller from any such unknown causes of
action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and
expenses which might in any way be included as a material portion of the
consideration given to Seller by Buyer in exchange for Seller's performance
hereunder.

             Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this
transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Paragraph
15. Seller and Buyer have each initialed this Paragraph 15 to further indicate
their awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof.

               16.   Enforcement and Legal Fees.

               16.1 BUYER'S DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE 
IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY
SUFFER IN THE EVENT BUYER DEFAULTS HEREUNDER AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE
OF THE PROPERTY AS HEREIN PROVIDED. BUYER AND SELLER THEREFORE AGREE THAT A
REASONABLE PRESENT ESTIMATE OF THE NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE
EVENT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT OR BREACH HEREUNDER IS AN AMOUNT OF MONEY EQUAL TO THE
DEPOSIT WHICH SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF
THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT
INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTION 3275 OR 3369 BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER
PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER HEREBY
WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389. UPON DEFAULT SOLELY
BY BUYER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY
FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT
OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER. THE
FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER'S REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEMNITY
PROVIDED BY BUYER PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPHS 14 AND 18 OF THIS
AGREEMENT.

        AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE AS PROVIDED

        REMEDY, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO TERMINATE THIS
        AGREEMENT AND RECOVER FROM SELLER ONLY THE AMOUNT OF BUYER'S ACTUAL
        OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES INCURRED AND SUMS PAID IN CONNECTION WITH THE
        TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL OF
        THE SUMS ACTUALLY PAID BY BUYER PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 3 HEREOF AND
        BUYER'S REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN LIEU OF
        TERMINATING THE AGREEMENT AND RECOVERING SUCH EXPENSES AND SUMS, BUYER
        SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PURSUE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT
        WITHOUT DAMAGES. FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, THIS SECTION 16.2
        SHALL NOT LIMIT ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BUYER MAY HAVE ON ACCOUNT OF ANY
        BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONTAINED IN

               21.    Miscellaneous.

                      21.1 Survival. The covenants, representations and

                      21.9 Waiver. The waiver or failure to enforce any

        agreement between, and the final expression of, Buyer and Seller with
        respect to the subject matter hereof. No subsequent agreement,
        representation, or promise made by either party hereto, or by or to an

        set forth in Paragraph 20 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon

        (B) each such party has actively participated in the drafting,
        preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, (C) each such party has

        this Agreement, or any portions hereof, or any amendments hereto.

                      21.15 Limitation of Liability of Trustees, Shareholders
        and Officers of Seller. BUYER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT LOOK TO THE
        ASSETS OF



                                      -20-

        SELLER'S TRUSTEES OR ITS INVESTMENT MANAGER FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY
        CLAIM AGAINST SELLER.

                     21.16 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this
        Agreement to the contrary, to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement
        and to expend the time and resources necessary to evaluate the Property
        and possibly forego other opportunities while doing so, Seller hereby
        grants to Buyer the rights to terminate this Agreement specifically
        provided in this Agreement. Such expenditures of time and resources and
        possible loss of opportunity by Buyer constitute adequate consideration
        for Seller remaining bound by this Agreement notwithstanding such
        termination rights in Buyer.

               22. Risk of Loss. In the event any of the Property is damaged or
destroyed prior to the Closing Date, and such damage or destruction would cost
less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to repair or restore, then
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall acquire the
Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, if the
damage or loss is insured, then Buyer shall receive a credit against the
Purchase Price equal to such deductible amount under Seller's applicable
insurance policy, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title
and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or
destruction. In the event any of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to
the Closing, and such damage or destruction would cost One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000), or more, to repair or restore, then Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller with a
copy to the Escrow Holder within five (5) business days after Buyer acquires
knowledge of such damage (the Closing shall be extended as necessary to afford
Buyer such five (5) business day period). If Buyer timely delivers its
termination notice, then Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit,
less one-half (1/2) of the escrow and title cancellation fees, if any, whereupon
Buyer and Seller shall each be released from all obligations hereunder, except
as set forth in Paragraphs 14 and 18 above. If this Agreement is not so
terminated, and if the damage or loss is insured, then Seller shall assign to
Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of
insurance, if any, on account of such damage or destruction, and Buyer shall
receive a credit toward payment of the Purchase Price in the amount of the
deductible under any applicable insurance policy.

               23. Seller's Covenants During Contract Period. Between Seller's
execution of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow, or earlier termination of
this Agreement as permitted hereunder, Seller shall (i) maintain the Property in
good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted; (ii) not
make any material physical changes to the Improvements except as required by
law, insurance carriers or applicable Leases; (iii) continue to manage and lease
the Property in the manner its been operated and continue to provide all
services previously provided in connection with the Property, (iv) not enter
into any contracts or agreements affecting the Property unless such contracts
can be completed or terminated prior to the Closing or Buyer, in its sole
discretion, agrees to assume such contract or agreement as of the Closing Date,
in which case such contracts shall be included within the term "Service
Contracts"; (v) use due diligence to keep in full force all Licenses and
Permits; (vi) not remove any Personal Property from the Property (unless the
Personal Property so removed is simultaneously replaced with Personal Property
of similar quality and utility); (vii) notify Buyer of any proposed new Tenant
Leases; and (viii) maintain or cause to be maintained, at Seller's sole cost and
expense, all insurance coverages



                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22

applicable to the Property in the amount and form maintained by Seller prior to
the Execution Date. From and after the Execution Date and until the Closing Date
or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not execute any new
Leases, and shall not modify, extend, or otherwise change the terms of the
Leases without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent prior to
the Contingency Date shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed
given if not denied, with the reasons therefor, in a written notice delivered to
Seller within two (2) business days after a request therefor; after the
Contingency Date Buyer may withhold its consent in its sole discretion. Seller
shall terminate all Service Contracts upon the Closing Date unless Buyer
provides written notice thereof to the contrary to Seller before the Contingency
Date.

               24. REIT. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller, which
representation and warranty shall survive the Close of Escrow, that Buyer is
qualified as a real estate investment trust under the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that, by reason thereof, maintaining such
status and avoiding any activity that might cause a penalty tax to be applied as
a result thereof is of material concern to Buyer. Accordingly, Seller agrees to
make any modifications or amendments to this Agreement specifically requested by
Buyer in writing delivered to Seller before the Contingency Date that may be
necessary for Buyer to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or
in order for it to avoid a penalty tax; provided; provided, however, that Seller
shall have no obligation to make any such modification or amendment that would
alter or affect, in Seller's sole judgment, Buyer's or Seller's rights, duties,
or obligations under this Agreement, and Seller's failure to do so shall result
in the termination of this Agreement.

               25. Reporting Requirements. Escrow Holder shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements
relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement involve a real estate transaction within the purview of Section
6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue
Code"), Escrow Holder shall have sole responsibility for complying with the
requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code (and any similar
requirements imposed by State or local law), which in part requires Escrow
Holder to report real estate transactions closing after December 31, 1986 by,
among other things, preparing and causing to be filed Internal Revenue Service
Form 1099-B and any applicable additional statements in connection therewith.
Escrow Holder shall hold Buyer, Seller and their counsel free and harmless from
and against any and all liability, claims, demands, damages and costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and other litigation expenses, arising or resulting
from the failure or refusal of Escrow Holder to comply with such reporting
requirements.

        A taking by eminent domain is material if the diminution of market value
        exceeds Two hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) of the purchase price.
        This Contract shall be governed by the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk
        Act, California Civil Code Section 1662 in effect at the date of this
        Contract to the extent said Act is not in conflict with express
        provisions of this Contract. If Purchaser elects to accept the Property

        reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to any other relief to which such
        party may be entitled.

        legal, administrative, or other proceeding or governmental investigation
        or requirement, formal or informal, pending or threatened that affects
        the Property or which adversely affects Seller's ability to perform

        which has not been disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the date
        of this contract. In addition, to the best of Seller's actual knowledge,
        there is no suit, action, arbitration, or other proceeding affecting or

        other expenses upon or relating to the Property which have not been
        disclosed to Purchaser in writing other than those which are reflected
        in the items to be delivered to Purchaser during Purchaser's Due
        Diligence Period under paragraph 13 above.

        C. To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, there is no asbestos, PCB
        transformer, residential lead paint hazard, or other toxic, hazardous or
        contaminated waste or substance, as defined by applicable state, federal
        or local law, statute, ordinance or regulation, released upon or
        disposed of onto, stored, or otherwise held on, under or about the
        Property, and Seller has received no notice of any violation or claimed
        violation of any law, rule or regulation relating to such hazardous
        waste. To the best of Seller's knowledge there is no occurrence or
        condition on any other real property that could cause the Property or
        any part thereof to be classified as a "Border Zone Property" under the
        provisions of California Health and Safety Code Sections 225220, et
        seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith. Seller's

        systems) are, and at close of escrow shall be, in good condition and
        working order and shall perform the work or function for which they were
        intended. To the best of Seller's actual knowledge the improvements, and
        all component parts thereof, were constructed in substantial conformance
        with the plans and specifications as well as documents approved by
        appropriate public officials and are free of material construction,
        design and/or structural defects.

        F. To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, Seller has not received,
        nor is aware of any notification from any building department, health
        department, or such other City, County or State authority having
        jurisdiction, requiring any work to be done on or affecting the
        Property. Seller agrees that in the event such notice is received by

        of Seller, be returned to Purchaser in full, and neither party shall
        have any further liability under this Contract.

        improvements thereon do not violate any applicable building, zoning,
        environmental or other statutes or regulations, and Seller is unaware of
        any material defect in the Property or improvements thereon.

        H. All documents delivered by Seller to Purchaser or made available to
        Purchaser for review, including without limitation the items described
        in Paragraph 17 of the Contract as supplemented hereby, are true and
        complete copies of all documents relating to the Property in Seller's
        possession or control. All of Seller's books, files and records related

        contract or commitment of Seller, or (iii) resulting from any material

        shall have arisen out of any aspect of the Property, its management or
        operations with respect to the period prior to the close of escrow,
        Purchaser shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Seller, its
        successors and assigns and their respective agents, employees, officers,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                       PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES
                      ADOPTION OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

        NEWPORT BEACH, California (December 11, 1997) -- Pacific Gulf
Properties Inc. (NYSE PAG) today announced that its Board of Directors has
adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan designed to assure that all of its
stockholders would receive fair treatment in the event of any threatened hostile
acquisition of the Company.

        Glenn L. Carpenter, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
stated that "This Plan has been adopted to protect the interests of our
shareholders and to assist our Board of Directors in responding properly and
effectively in the event of any hostile or coercive takeover attempt of Pacific
Gulf Properties. The Plan is not being adopted in response to any takeover
attempt; rather, the Plan is an attempt to provide the Board of Directors with
adequate time and a full opportunity to consider any and all alternatives to
such hostile action."

        The Rights Plan provides each stockholder of the Company with one right
for each share of common stock held.

        Generally, should any person or entity become the beneficial owner of
10% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (with the exception of
those persons who hold 10% or more of the Company's common stock, or securities
convertible into 10% or more of the Company's common stock, on December 11,
1997), each right (other than those held by that new 10% stockholder) would be
exercisable to purchase that number of shares of the Company's common stock
having, at that time, a market value equal to two times the then current
exercise price (initially $100).

        The record date set for distribution of the rights under the Rights
Plan is December 22, 1997, after which any shares of common stock traded will
automatically be accompanied by the associated rights. The rights expire on
December 11, 2007 (unless previously triggered), and are subject to redemption
by the Board of Directors of the Company at $.001 per right at any time prior
to the first date upon which they become exercisable.

                                December __, 1997


Dear Pacific Gulf Stockholder:

        The Board of Directors of Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. has adopted a
Stockholder Rights Plan intended to help assure that all stockholders would
receive fair treatment in the event of any threatened hostile acquisition of the
Company. A summary of the Stockholder Rights Plan is enclosed for your
information. NO ACTION ON YOUR PART IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. YOU WILL BE
NOTIFIED IF THE RIGHTS ARE EVER TRIGGERED AND BECOME EXERCISABLE.

        The Rights Plan has been adopted to protect the interests of our
stockholders and to assist the Board of Directors in responding properly and
effectively on behalf of the stockholders in the event of any hostile or
coercive takeover attempt of the Company. The Rights Plan is not being adopted
in response to any takeover attempt; rather, the Rights Plan is an attempt to
provide the Board of Directors with adequate time and a full opportunity to
consider any and all alternatives to such hostile action.

        It is worth noting that over 1,500 public United States companies and a
great many REITs have already adopted comparable rights plans.

        The Rights will expire (unless previously triggered) on December 11,
2007 and, in certain circumstances, are subject to amendment or to redemption at
$.001 per Right by the Board. The adoption of the Pacific Gulf Rights Plan does
not weaken the financial strength of the current Company or interfere with its
business plans. The issuance of the Rights has no current dilutive effect and
will not affect earnings per share or change the way in which you can currently
trade the Company's shares.

        In adopting the Rights Plan, the Board has expressed its confidence in
the Company's future and its determination that our stockholders be given every
opportunity to participate fully in that future. As always, our primary
obligation is to enhance stockholder values.

        We appreciate your continuing support. Thank you.

                                        Sincerely,



                                        GLENN L. CARPENTER
                                        Chairman of the Board,
                                        Chief Executive Officer
                                        and President

                              SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS



<PAGE>   2

                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.4

                             SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS

               On December 10, 1997, the Board of Directors of Pacific Gulf
Properties Inc. (the "Company") authorized and declared a dividend of one
preferred stock purchase right (a "Right") for each share of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The dividend is
payable on December 29, 1997 (the "Record Date") to the holders of record of
Common Shares as of the close of business on such date.

        The following is a brief description of the Rights. It is intended to
provide a general description only and is subject to the detailed terms and
conditions of the Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of December
11, 1997 by and between the Company and Harris Trust Company of California, as
Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

        1.     COMMON SHARE CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING RIGHTS

               Until the Distribution Date (as defined in Section 2 below), (a)
the Rights shall not be exercisable, (b) the Rights shall be attached to and
trade only together with the Common Shares and (c) the stock certificates
representing Common Shares also shall represent the Rights attached to such
Common Shares. Common Share certificates issued after the Record Date and prior
to the Distribution Date shall contain a notation incorporating the Rights
Agreement by reference.

        2.     DISTRIBUTION DATE

               The "Distribution Date" is the earliest of (a) the tenth business
day following the date of the first public announcement that any person (other
than the Company or certain related entities, and with certain additional
exceptions) has become the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the then
outstanding Voting Shares (such person is a "10% Stockholder" and the date of
such public announcement is the "10% Ownership Date"), (b) the tenth business
day (or such later day as shall be designated by the Board of Directors)
following the date of the commencement of, or the announcement of an intention
to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would cause
any person to become a 10% Stockholder or (c) the first date, on or after the
10% Ownership Date, upon which the Company is acquired in a merger or other
business combination in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in
which the outstanding Common Shares are changed into or exchanged for stock or
assets of another person, or upon which 50% or more of the Company's
consolidated assets or earning power are sold (other than in transactions in the
ordinary course of business). In calculating the percentage of outstanding
Voting Shares that are beneficially owned by any person, such person shall be
deemed to beneficially own any Voting Shares issuable upon the exercise,
exchange or conversion of any options, warrants or other securities beneficially
owned by such person; provided, however, that such Voting Shares issuable upon
such exercise shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the
percentage of Voting Shares that are beneficially owned by any other person.

               Upon the close of business of the Distribution Date, the Rights
shall separate from the Common Shares, Right certificates shall be issued and
the Rights shall become exercisable to purchase Preferred Shares as described in
Section 5 below.


<PAGE>   3

               No Person who is the Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of the
outstanding Voting Shares as of December 11, 1997 shall be deemed a 10%
Stockholder unless or until such Person shall acquire, without the prior
approval of the Board of Directors, Beneficial Ownership of an additional 1% of
the Voting Shares then outstanding and, following such acquisition, is the
Beneficial Owner of more than 10% of the Voting Shares then outstanding. In
addition, any Person (a "Transferee") who purchases Voting Shares from such
Person shall not be deemed a 10% Stockholder if, after giving effect to such
acquisition, such Transferee holds no more than the sum of the Voting Shares so
acquired plus 1% of the Voting Shares then outstanding.

        3.     ISSUANCE OF RIGHT CERTIFICATES

               As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate
certificates representing only Rights shall be mailed to the holders of record
of Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such
separate Right certificates alone shall represent such Rights from and after the
Distribution Date.

        4.     EXPIRATION OF RIGHTS

               The Rights shall expire on December 11, 2007, unless earlier
redeemed or exchanged, unless the Distribution Date has previously occurred and
the Rights have separated from the Common Shares, in which case the Rights will
remain outstanding for ten years.

        5.     EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

               Unless the Rights have expired or been redeemed or exchanged,
they may be exercised, at the option of the holders, pursuant to paragraphs (a),
(b) or (c) below. No Right may be exercised more than once or pursuant to more
than one of such paragraphs. From and after the first event of the type
described in paragraphs (b) or (c) below, each Right that is beneficially owned
by a 10% Stockholder or that was attached to a Common Share that is subject to
an option beneficially owned by a 10% Stockholder shall be void.

               (a) Right to Purchase Preferred Shares. From and after the close
of business on the Distribution Date, each Right (other than a Right that has
become void) shall be exercisable to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of
Class C Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company (the "Preferred Shares"), at an exercise price of $100.00
(One Hundred Dollars) (the "Exercise Price"). Prior to the Distribution Date,
the Company may substitute for all or any portion of the Preferred Shares that
would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the Rights, cash, assets or other
securities having the same aggregate value as such Preferred Shares. The
Preferred Shares are nonredeemable and, unless otherwise provided in connection
with the creation of a subsequent series of preferred stock, are subordinate to
any other series of the Company's preferred stock whether issued before or after
the issuance of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares may not be issued
except upon exercise of Rights. The holder of a Preferred Share is entitled to
receive when, as and if declared, the greater of (i) cash and non-cash dividends
in an amount equal to 100 times the dividends declared on each Common Share or
(ii) a preferential annual dividend of $.01 per Preferred Share ($.0001 per one
one-hundredth of a Preferred Share). In the event of liquidation, the holders of
Preferred Shares


<PAGE>   4

shall be entitled to receive a liquidation payment in an amount equal to the
greater of (1) $.01 per Preferred Share ($.0001 per one one-hundredth of a
Preferred Share), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions on the
Preferred Shares, or (2) an amount equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be
distributed per Common Share. Each Preferred Share has one (1) vote per share,
voting together with the Common Shares. In the event of any merger,
consolidation or other transaction in which Common Shares are exchanged, the
holder of a Preferred Share shall be entitled to receive 100 times the amount
received per Common Share. The rights of the Preferred Shares as to dividends,
voting and liquidation preferences are protected by antidilution provisions. It
is anticipated that the value of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share should
approximate the value of one Common Share.

               (b) Right to Purchase Common Shares of the Company. From and
after the close of business on the tenth business day following the 10%
Ownership Date, each Right (other than a Right that has become void) shall be
exercisable to purchase, at the Exercise Price (initially $100.00), Common
Shares with a market value equal to two times the Exercise Price. If the Company
does not have sufficient Common Shares available for all Rights to be exercised,
the Company shall substitute for all or any portion of the Common Shares that
would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, cash, assets or
other securities having the same aggregate value as such Common Shares.

               (c) Right to Purchase Common Stock of a Successor Corporation.
If, on or after the 10% Ownership Date, (i) the Company is acquired in a merger
or other business combination in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, (ii) the Company is the surviving corporation in a merger or other
business combination in which all or part of the outstanding Common Shares are
changed into or exchanged for stock or assets of another person or (iii) 50% or
more of the Company's consolidated assets or earning power are sold (other than
in transactions in the ordinary course of business), then each Right (other than
a Right that has become void) shall thereafter be exercisable to purchase, at
the Exercise Price (initially $100.00), shares of common stock of the surviving
corporation or purchaser, respectively, with an aggregate market value equal to
two times the Exercise Price.

        6.     ADJUSTMENTS TO PREVENT DILUTION

               The Exercise Price, the number of outstanding Rights and the
number of Preferred Shares or Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights
are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Rights Agreement
in order to prevent dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required until cumulative adjustments require an
adjustment of at least 1%.

        7.     CASH PAID INSTEAD OF ISSUING FRACTIONAL SECURITIES

               No fractional securities shall be issued upon exercise of a Right
(other than fractions of Preferred Shares that are integral multiples of one
one-hundredth of a Preferred Share and that may, at the election of the Company,
be evidenced by depositary receipts) and in lieu


<PAGE>   5

thereof, an adjustment in cash shall be made based on the market price of such
securities on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

        8.     REDEMPTION

               At any time prior to the earlier of (a) the tenth business day
(or such later day as shall be designated by the Board of Directors) following
the date of the commencement of, or the announcement of an intention to make, a
tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would cause any person
to become a 10% Stockholder, (b) the tenth business day after the 10% Ownership
Date or (c) the first event of the type giving rise to exercise rights under
Section 5(c) above, the Board of Directors may, at its option, direct the
Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.001 per
Right (the "Redemption Price"), and the Company shall so redeem the Rights.
Immediately upon such action by the Board of Directors (the date of such action
being the "Redemption Date"), the only right of the holders of Rights thereafter
shall be to receive the Redemption Price.

        9.     EXCHANGE

               At any time during the period of 180 days after the 10% Ownership
Date, the Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, authorize and
direct the exchange of all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding
Rights for Common Shares, one one-hundredths of Preferred Shares, debt
securities of the Company, other property or any combination of the foregoing,
which, as of the date of the Board of Directors' action, has a current market
price equal to the difference between the Exercise Price and the current market
price of the shares that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of a Right on
such date (the "Exchange Ratio"), and the Company shall so exchange the Rights.
Immediately upon such action by the Board of Directors, the right to exercise
Rights shall terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights thereafter
shall be to receive a number of Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio.

        10.    NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE

               Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, shall
have no rights as a stockholder of the Company (other than rights resulting from
such holder's ownership of Common Shares), including, without limitation, the
right to vote or to receive dividends.

        11.    AMENDMENT OF RIGHTS AGREEMENT

               The Board of Directors may, from time to time, without the
approval of any holder of Rights, direct the Company and the Rights Agent to
supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement in any manner, whether
or not such supplement or amendment is adverse to any holder of Rights, and the
Company and the Rights Agent shall so supplement or amend such provision;
provided, however, that from and after the earliest of (a) the tenth business
day (or such later day as shall be designated by the Board of Directors)
following the date of the commencement of, or the announcement of an intention
to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would cause
any person to become a 10% Stockholder, (b) the 10% Ownership Date, (c) the
first event of the type giving rise to exercise rights under


<PAGE>   6

Section 5(c) above or (d) the Redemption Date, the Rights Agreement shall not be
supplemented or amended in any manner that would materially and adversely affect
any holder of outstanding Rights other than a 10% Stockholder.
