express terms of this Agreement, that Buyer has completed such review to its

2
<PAGE> 3
Buyer has failed completely and adequately to review and consider any or all of
such materials. But for Buyers' expression of satisfaction with the content of
the Due Diligence Materials, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement;
but for Buyer's expression of such satisfaction and assumption of any risk as to
the character of its review and consideration of the Due Diligence Materials,
Transferors would not have entered into this Agreement. Nevertheless, during the
Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be permitted to make a further review of the
Investigation Matters to determine whether any Material Adverse Matters Amounts
exist with respect to the Properties and the extent of any such Material Adverse
Matters Amount. After the Approval Date, Buyer shall have no further right of
inspection and review with respect to the Properties except solely for the
purpose of assisting Buyer in its management transition. The rights and
obligations of the parties arising out of Buyer's determination and assertion
prior to the Approval Date that such Material Adverse Matters Amounts do exist
shall be limited to Investigation Matters and governed solely by the provisions
of Section 4(f) below. Subject to the foregoing, and as more fully provided
below, Transferors agree to assist and cooperate with Buyer in obtaining access
to the Property and certain documents relating thereto for purposes of
inspection and due diligence.
(a) PHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY. At any time(s) reasonably
requested by Buyer following the Effective Date and prior to Closing,
Transferors shall afford authorized representatives of Buyer reasonable access
to the Property for purposes of informing itself as to the Investigation
Matters, satisfying Buyer with respect to the representations, warranties and
covenants of Transferors contained herein and with respect to the satisfaction
of any Buyer's Conditions Precedent to the Closing; provided, however, that
Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably disturb or
interfere with the rights of Tenants. Buyer shall provide Transferors with not
less than forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice of any such inspections,
and Transferors, at their election, shall have the right to have a
representative present during any such investigations. Buyer hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold the Transferors harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs,
damages or injury to persons or property resulting from such investigations or
caused by Buyer or its authorized representatives during their entry and
investigations prior to the Closing. In the event this Agreement is terminated,
Buyer shall restore each of the Properties to substantially the condition in
which it was found. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the Closing, as applicable.
(b) DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS. Buyer acknowledges receipt of the
Due Diligence Materials, except for the information contained on Schedules 2 and
IIE.1, which shall be provided by Transferors not later than fifteen (15)
business days after the Effective Date. Except as specifically set forth herein
or in any closing documents delivered by Transferors hereunder, Transferors make
no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of
any materials, data or other information supplied to Buyer in connection with
Buyer's inspection of the Property (e.g., that such materials are complete,
accurate, or the final version thereof, or that all such materials are in the
Transferors'
3
<PAGE> 4
possession). It is the parties' express understanding and agreement that such
materials are provided only for Buyer's convenience in making its own
examination and determinations regarding the Properties prior to the Approval
Date, and, in doing so, Buyer shall rely exclusively on its own independent
investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any
materials supplied by Transferors except for the express representations and
warranties of Transferors contained herein or in any closing documents delivered
by Transferors hereunder. Buyer expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any
such materials provided to it by Transferors in connection with its own
inspections and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently
developed or verified information except for the express representations and
warranties of Transferors contained herein or in any closing documents delivered
by Transferors hereunder.
(c) CONTACTS WITH PROPERTY MANAGERS. At any time reasonably requested by
Buyer following the Effective Date and prior to Closing, Buyer may contact and
interview the property manager/leasing agent(s), provided that such contacts or
interviews shall occur only after reasonable oral or written notice to
Transferors and a representative of Transferors may be present during any
interview.
(d) SERVICE CONTRACTS. At or before the Closing, except as set forth
below, Transferors will terminate all existing Service Contracts for the
Property except for those Service Contracts listed on Schedule 2, which will be
assigned to and assumed by Buyer at the Closing. Transferors will provide Buyer
with a complete listing of the Service Contracts to be listed on Schedule 2
within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date. Schedule 2(a) includes a list
of capital expenditures/repairs that the Transferors anticipate completing on or
before the Closing Date (the "Property Work". Buyer and Transferors shall agree
upon a revised form of Schedule 2(a) as of the Closing Date; to the extent that
any Property Work remains unfinished as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume
the obligation to complete the unfinished Property Work (including any Contracts
in connection therewith), and Transferors shall give Buyer a credit at closing
for the cost of completing any such unfinished work, including the costs
associated with any change orders executed or authorized by Transferors relating
to such unfinished work.
(e) APPROVAL OF TITLE. Prior to the Approval Date, Buyer shall advise
Transferors what exceptions to title, if any, will not be accepted by Buyer.
Transferors shall be obligated to remove any objectionable exception which can
be removed with the payment of a liquidated sum of money. Transferors' failure
to cure any such monetary objection shall constitute a breach of Transferors'
obligations under this Section 4(e) and shall entitle Buyer to the remedies set
forth in the Guaranty Agreement. With respect to any objectionable exception
which cannot be removed with the payment of a liquidated sum of money,
Transferors shall have fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Buyer's
objections to give to Buyer. (A) written notice that Transferors will remove
such objectionable exceptions on or before the Closing Date; or (B) written
notice that Transferors elect not to cause such exceptions to be removed.
Transferors' failure to give notice to Buyer within the fifteen (15)
4
<PAGE> 5
business day period shall be deemed to be Transferors' election not to cause
such exceptions to be removed. If Transferors give Buyer notice or are otherwise
deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (B), Buyer shall have until ten
(10) business days after receipt of Transferors' actual or deemed notice as to
Transferors' unwillingness to cause such exceptions to be removed to elect (i)
to proceed to close the transaction as set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to
proceed to close the transaction without purchasing any Property that is
subject, as of the Closing Date, to any uncured objectionable non-monetary
exception that materially and negatively impairs the Property ("Impaired
Property"), in which event the Consideration will be reduced by the Allocated
Price of such Impaired Property, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 13(a). If Buyer fails to give Transferors notice of its election on
or before the expiration of such ten (10) business day period, Buyer shall be
deemed to have elected to proceed to close the transaction without purchasing
the Impaired Property and for the appropriately reduced Consideration, and to
have waived any, right to terminate this Agreement under this provision. If
Transferors' give notice pursuant to clause (A) and fail to remove any such
objectionable exceptions from title prior to the Closing Date despite
Transferors good faith efforts to the contrary, Buyer shall have the same rights
and options set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) above in this Section 4(e).
(f) BUYER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Buyer shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a) on or before the Approval Date only if,
on or prior to the Approval Date, Buyer shall deliver to Transferors written
notice asserting, in Buyer's good faith determination, the existence of Material
Adverse Matters Amounts as to the Property only (i) with respect to
Investigation Matters, and (ii) if the aggregate total of Material Adverse
Matters Amounts exceeds 2% of the Consideration ("Buyer's Termination Notice").
Buyer's failure to deliver to Transferors on or prior to the Approval Date the
Buyer's Termination Notice, shall be deemed conclusively as Buyer's confirmation
of the absence of any Material Adverse Matters Amounts and Buyers election to
waive its termination rights pursuant to this Section 4(f), and to proceed with
the acquisition of the Properties hereunder. If Buyer delivers a Buyer's
Termination Notice, the notice shall set forth: (i) the identity of any
Properties as to which Buyer has identified any Material Adverse Matters
Amounts, (ii) the nature of the Investigation Matter which resulted in such
Material Adverse Matters Amounts, and (iii) reasonably detailed evidence of the
existence of such Material Adverse Matters Amount and Buyer's rationale for and
calculation of the Material Adverse Matters Amounts set forth.

and conditions hereof to be performed by Buyer and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and all documents executed by
Buyer which are to be delivered to Transferors at Closing have been duly
executed and delivered by Buyer and are or at the time of Closing will be the
legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and is enforceable against Buyer in
accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by
applicable Creditors' Rights Laws. Buyer is not presently subject to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar proceeding.
(c) SIGNERS' AUTHORITY. The individuals executing this Agreement and the
instruments referenced herein on behalf of Buyer and its constituent entities,
if any, have the legal power, right and actual authority to bind Buyer to the
terms and conditions hereof and thereof.
(d) NO CONFLICT. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor the
compliance with the terms and conditions hereof will (a) violate or conflict, in
any material respect, with any provision of Buyer's organizational documents or
to Buyer's Actual Knowledge any statute, regulation or rule, or, to Buyer's
Actual Knowledge, any injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or
other restrictions of any government, governmental agency or court to which
Buyer is subject, and which violation or conflict would have a material adverse
effect on Buyer. Buyer is not a party to any contract or subject to any other
legal restriction that would prevent fulfillment by Buyer of all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or compliance with any of the obligations

(e) REQUIRED CONSENTS. To Buyer's Actual Knowledge all material consents
required from any governmental authority or third party in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer or the consummation by Buyer

such consents shall be delivered to Transferors.
(f) INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. Buyer has made (or will make prior to the

have ascertained to its satisfaction the extent to which the Property complies

<PAGE> 17
(g) NO LITIGATION. There is no litigation pending or, to Buyer's
knowledge, threatened, against Buyer or any basis therefor that might materially
and detrimentally affect the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations under
this Agreement. Buyer shall notify Transferors promptly of any such litigation
of which Buyer becomes aware.
11. RISK OF LOSS.
(a) NOTICE OF LOSS. If, prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the
Property suffers a Minor or Major Loss, Transferors shall immediately notify
Buyer of that fact, which notice shall include sufficient detail to apprise
Buyer of the current status of the Property following such loss.
(b) MINOR LOSS. Buyer's obligations hereunder shall not be affected by
the occurrence of a Minor Loss, provided that: (i) upon the Closing, there shall
be a credit against the Consideration equal to the amount of any insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Transferors as a result of such
Minor Loss, plus the amount of any insurance deductible applicable to such
casualty; or (ii) insurance or condemnation proceeds available to Transferors
are sufficient to cover the cost of restoration and the insurance carrier has
admitted liability for the payment of such costs. If the proceeds or awards have
not been collected as of the Closing, then Transferors' right, title and
interest to, such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing,
together with a credit against the Consideration in the amount of any insurance
deductible applicable to such casualty. This provision shall not limit any of
the Buyer's repair obligations under the Leases. If there is a Minor Loss and
insurance coverage as set forth above is not available, Buyer shall have the
same rights as if it was a Major Loss.
(c) MAJOR LOSS. In the event of a Major Loss, Buyer may, at its option
to be exercised by written notice to Transferors within ten (10) days of
Transferors' notice to Buyer of the occurrence thereof, elect to either (i)
terminate this Agreement as to the damaged or condemned Property (in which event
the Consideration payable hereunder shall be reduced by the Consideration
allocable to such Property, or (ii) consummate the acquisition of the Property
for the full Consideration, subject to the following. If Buyer elects to proceed
with the acquisition of the Property, then the Closing shall be postponed to the
later of the Closing Date or the date which is five (5) days after Buyer makes
such election and, upon the Closing, Buyer shall be given a credit against the
Consideration equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards collected by Transferors as a result of such Major Loss, plus the amount
of any insurance deductible applicable to such casualty. If the proceeds or
awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then Transferors' right, title
and interest to such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, and
Transferors will cooperate with Buyer as reasonably requested by Buyer in the
collection of such proceeds or award. If Buyer fails to give Transferors notice
within such 10-day period, then Buyer will be deemed to have elected to
terminate this Agreement as to the
17
<PAGE> 18
damaged or condemned Property. If the Agreement is not terminated, nothing
herein shall limit any of the Buyer's repair obligations under the Leases.
12. TRANSFERORS' CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) GENERAL. Except as otherwise contemplated or permitted by this
Agreement or approved by Buyer in writing, from the Effective Date to the
Closing Date, Transferors will operate, maintain, repair and lease of the
Property in a prudent manner, in the ordinary course of business, on an
arm's-length basis and consistent with its past practices (and without limiting
the foregoing, Transferors shall, in the ordinary course, negotiate with
prospective tenants and enter into leases of the Property, enforce leases in all
material respects, pay all costs and expenses of the Property, including,
without limitation, debt service, real estate taxes and assessments, and
maintain insurance and pay and perform loan obligations) and will not dispose of
or encumber the Property or any part thereof, except for dispositions of
personal property in the ordinary course of business.
(b) ACTIONS REQUIRING BUYER'S CONSENT. Notwithstanding the above terms
of this Section, from the Approval Date until the Closing Date, Transferors
shall not, without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, take any of the following actions:
(i) LEASES. Execute or renew any Lease, except for such actions
in connection with residential leases of one year or less on the
Transferors' standard form for the Property at market rents; provided,
however, that if Transferors request Lease approval and Buyer has not
responded to Transferors' request for Lease approval within two (2)
business days, that Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the Lease
activity in question;
(ii) CONTRACTS. Except as otherwise required under this
Agreement, enter into, execute or terminate any operating agreement,
reciprocal easement agreement, management agreement or any lease,
contract, agreement or other commitment of any sort (including any
contract for capital items or expenditures), with respect to the
Property that will survive the Closing or otherwise bind the Buyer after
the Closing.
(iii) PROPERTY WORK. Buyer and Transferors agree that Transferors
shall proceed with the completion of the Property Work prior to the
Closing Date, with reasonable diligence and in accordance with
Transferors' past practices. Subsection (ii) above notwithstanding,
Transferors shall enter into such Contracts as are necessary to complete
the Property Work, which Contracts may be assigned to assumed by Buyer
at Closing per Section 4(d) above.
18
<PAGE> 19
13. TOTAL NON-CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION. If the transaction is not
consummated in whole or in part on or before the Closing Date, the following
provisions shall apply:
(a) NO DEFAULT. If the transaction is not consummated for a reason other
than a default by one of the parties, then (i) Title Company and each party
shall return to the depositor thereof the Earnest Money and all other funds and
items which were deposited hereunder, (ii) Transferors and Buyer shall each bear
one-half of any Escrow cancellation charges.
(b) DEFAULT BY TRANSFERORS. If (a) the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 5(b) shall have been satisfied or waived (provided that for purposes of
this Section Buyer shall not be required to tender formally the Consideration
but only demonstrate the commitment of immediately available funds to pay such
Consideration) and (b) Transferors shall refuse to perform its closing
obligations under this Agreement (e.g., by refusing to convey a Property to
Buyer at Closing), then Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement
shall be either (i) to receive back the Earnest Money in the event Transferors
refused to perform its closing obligations with respect to all of the Properties
plus all accrued interest thereon, in which case, after the payment by
Transferors of any Escrow cancellation charges, neither party shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder, or (ii) to proceed to close the
transaction without purchasing the affected Property, in which event the
Consideration will be reduced by the Allocated Price of such affected Property,
and pursue an action for specific performance on a Property by Property basis as
to those properties as to which Transferors refuse to perform its closing
obligations; provided, however, that any such action for specific performance
shall be filed and served by Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date of the
alleged Transferors' default, it being the intent of the parties hereto that any
failure of Buyer to meet the time deadline set for filing shall be deemed to be
Buyer's election to waive and relinquish any rights to enforce specific
performance of this Agreement; and provided further, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer's right to pursue an action for
specific performance is expressly conditioned on Buyer not being in default or
having defaulted in any material respect under this Agreement. Nothing contained
in this Section 13(b) is intended to limit Buyer's rights under Sections
15(g), 15(m) and 15(p) of this Agreement. Transferors refusal to perform its
closing obligations under this Agreement shall constitute a breach by
Transferors under Section 6(c) of this Agreement and shall entitle Buyer to the
remedies available under the Guaranty Agreement.
(c) DEFAULT BY BUYER. If the Closing does not occur as a result of a
default by Buyer, then (i) Buyer shall pay all escrow cancellation charges, (ii)
to the extent it has not previously been delivered to Transferors, the Title
Company shall deliver the Earnest Money to Transferors and (iii) any portion of
the Initial Earnest Money or the Remaining Earnest Money that has not been
deposited by Buyer shall immediately be paid by Buyer to Transferors. The
aggregate amount under items (ii) and (iii) above shall constitute
19
<PAGE> 20
Transferors' full and complete liquidated damages and its sole and exclusive
remedy for Buyer's default. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT TRANSFERORS'S ACTUAL
DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR
IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED ABOVE HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF TRANSFERORS'S DAMAGES AND AS
TRANSFERORS'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE EVENT
OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF BUYER.
INITIALS: Transferors /s/ Buyer /s/
------------------------- ------------------------
This Section 13(c) is intended only to liquidate and limit Transferors' rights
to damages arising due to Buyer's failure to purchase the Properties and shall
not limit the indemnification or other obligations of (i) Buyer pursuant to the
Confidentiality Agreement dated May 17, 2000 (the "Confidentiality Agreement")
or (ii) Buyer pursuant to (A) any other documents delivered pursuant to this
Agreement or (B) Sections 4(a), 15(g), 15(m) and 15(p) of this Agreement. In the
event that Transferors are entitled to the Earnest Money pursuant to this
provision, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Earnest Money or (ii) the
sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to Transferors without causing
Transferors (or any of their constituent partners or members) to fail to meet
the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income
described in Section 856(c)(2)(A)-(H) and 856(c)(3)(A)-(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code ("Qualifying Income"), as determined by Transferors' accountants,
plus (B) in the event Transferors receive either (x) a letter from Transferors'
counsel prior to the Closing Date indicating that Transferors (or their
constituent partners or members, as applicable) has received a ruling from the
Internal Revenue (the "IRS") described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the following
paragraph, or (y) an opinion from Transferors' (or their constituent partners or
members, as applicable) counsel as described in clause (iv) of the following
paragraph, an amount equal to the Earnest Money less the amount payable under
clause (A) above, and any balance of the Earnest Money (the "Balance") shall be
retained by the Title Company in escrow in accordance with the terms of an
escrow (subject to the terms of the following paragraph) being otherwise agreed
upon by Transferors and the Title Company.
The escrow agreement described in this Section 13(c) shall provide that
the amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to Transferors
except to the extent the Title Company receives any one or combination of the
following: (i) a letter from Transfers' accountants indicating the maximum
amount that can be paid by the title Company to Transferors without causing
Transferors (or any of their constituent partners or members, as applicable) to
fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, determined as if the payment of such amount did not
constitute
20
<PAGE> 21
Qualifying Income, in which case the Title Company shall release the amount
indicated in such letter to Transferors, (ii) a letter from Transferors' (or any
of their constituent partner's or member's, as applicable) counsel indicating
that Transferors (or any of its constituent partners or members, as applicable)
received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by Transferors (or any
of their constituent partners or members, as applicable) of the Earnest Money
would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income
within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, in which case the Title Company shall release the Balance to Transferors,
(iii) a letter from Transferors' (or any of their constituent partners' or
members', as applicable) counsel, indicating that Transferors (or any of their
constituent partners or members, as applicable) received a ruling from the IRS
holding that the receipt by Transferor (or any of its constituent partners or
members, as applicable) of the Balance following the receipt of and pursuant to
such ruling would not be deemed constructively received prior thereto or (iv) an
opinion of a Transferor's (or its constituent partner's or member's, as
applicable) legal counsel to the effect that the receipt by a Transferor (or its
constituent partner, as applicable) of the Earnest Money would either constitute
Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of
Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, in which case the
Title Company shall release the Balance to Transferors. Buyer and the Title
Company agree to act reasonably and cooperate with Transferors, in order (x) to
maximize the portion of the Earnest Money that may be distributed to Transferors
hereunder without causing a Transferor (or its constituent partner or member, as
applicable) to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3)
of the Code or (y) to improve a Transferor's (or any of their constituent
partners or members, as applicable) chances of securing a favorable ruling
described in this Section 13(c), provided that, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, Buyer and Title Company shall not be required to incur any out-
of-pocket costs in connection therewith. The escrow agreement shall also provide
that any portion of the Earnest Money then held in escrow after the expiration
of five (5) years from the date of the establishment of such escrow shall be
released by the Title Company to Buyer. Buyer shall not be a party (other than
as a contingent beneficiary as described above) to such escrow arrangements and
shall not bear any cost of or have liability resulting from such escrow
arrangements.
(d) CURE RIGHTS. Prior to the exercise of any right or remedy for a
default hereunder as contained in this Section 13, the party alleging a default
hereunder shall give the defaulting party written notice of nature of such
default (with such specificity as to enable the defaulting party to identify the
cure of such default), and a ten (10) business day period in which to cure such
default. If such cure has not been effected within such ten (10) business day
period, then the party alleging a default hereunder may proceed pursuant this
Section 13, and no further cure periods shall apply to such default.

against any Tenant. Transferors shall notify Buyer promptly of any such
litigation of which a Responsible Individual of Transferors becomes
