remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit, as set forth below.

            3.1.3 If the  sale of the  Property  is  closed  by the  date  fixed
therefor (or any  extension  date  provided for herein or by the mutual  written
consent of the  parties  hereto,  given or  withheld  in their  respective  sole
discretion),  monies held as the Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase  Price
on the Closing  Date and the balance of the  Purchase  Price,  less  adjustments
provided for herein and the outstanding  balance of the Seller's Note Obligation
after  deducting  therefrom  the sum of all escrows and  reserves  for taxes and

be returned and refunded to Purchaser. If the sale of the Property is not closed
by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension date) owing to the termination
of this Purchase  Contract  pursuant to ARTICLE 13,  ARTICLE 15, or owing to the
failure of any conditions  precedent set forth in Section 9.1, the Deposit shall
be returned and refunded to Purchaser. If the sale of the Property is not closed
by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension  date) owing to the failure of
performance by Seller,  Purchaser  shall be entitled to the remedy elected by it
under and as set forth in ARTICLE 12 hereof.

            3.1.4 If the sale of the  Property  is not  closed by the date fixed
therefor  (or any such  extension  date)  owing to  failure  of  performance  by
Purchaser, the Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and the sum thereof shall
go to Seller forthwith as liquidated  damages for the lost opportunity costs and
transaction  expenses  incurred by Seller, as more fully set forth in ARTICLE 12
below.
                                    ARTICLE 4

                                    FINANCING

      4.1 Purchaser assumes full  responsibility to expeditiously and diligently
initiate  and  pursue  all steps  necessary  to obtain  the funds  required  for
settlement, and Purchaser's acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency
to closing.  In no event shall Seller be  obligated to prepay the Seller's  Note
Obligation prior to Closing. Purchaser shall pay any and all amounts or fees due
and payable in connection  with the  prepayment of the Seller's Note  Obligation
(other than scheduled payments of principal, interest, escrows, and reserves due
prior to the Closing Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, at its
option  and at its sole cost and  expense,  elect to assume  the  Seller's  Note
Obligations in lieu of Seller's prepayment (and retirement) thereof,  subject to
any restrictions on assumption that may be set forth in the documents evidencing
or  pertaining  to the  Seller's  Note  Obligation  (the "Loan  Documents").  If
Purchaser  elects to assume the Seller's Note  Obligation,  Purchaser shall give
notice to Seller of its intent to seek  "Assumption  Approval"  (as  hereinafter
defined) not later than the last day of the  Feasibility  Period,  and shall use
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to obtain the  approval  of the holder of the
Seller's  Note  Obligation  to the  assumption by Purchaser of the Seller's Note
Obligation  on the Closing Date,  on terms  reasonably  acceptable to Purchaser,
provided that (a) the terms of such assumption shall not require any increase in
the rate of  interest  payable  thereunder,  any  increase  in the amount of the
payments of principal and interest due  thereunder,  any decrease in the term of
the  maturity  thereof,  or the  payment  of any  costs or fees in excess of one
percent (1%) of the outstanding  principal  amount to be assumed,  plus a fee of
$2,000.00,  plus  customary  costs of the holder  incurred  in  connection  with
Purchaser's assumption, such as attorneys' fees and expenses, and (b) Seller and
its affiliate  guarantor(s) shall be released from all liability with respect to
the Seller's Note  Obligation  effective as of the Closing Date  (provided  that
Seller may waive  such  condition  after  notice to it from  Purchaser  that the
holder of the Seller's Note  Obligation is unwilling to consent to such release)
(the "Assumption  Approval").  Seller agrees to cooperate with such efforts. Any
and all amounts or fees due and payable in connection with the assumption of the
Seller's Note Obligation (other than scheduled payments of principal,  interest,
escrows, and reserves due prior to the Closing Date) shall be paid by Purchaser.

                                    ARTICLE 5

surveys, including topographical surveys).

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

     intended use.

            5.1.4 To review all Materials (as defined in Section 5.5 below) and,
at the offices of the Manager  located at the  Property,  to review and copy (at
Purchaser's  expense) Seller's books and records relating to the Property (other
than Seller's proprietary information) and all Leases.

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

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

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

      5.5 Seller shall deliver to Purchaser  within seven (7) calendar days from
the Effective  Date copies of (a) Seller's form of residential  lease  agreement
used at the Property,  (b) all Property  Contracts,  (c) engineering studies and
environmental reports in Seller's possession or control relating to the Property
and prepared for Seller by third parties (other than proprietary  information of
Seller), (d) the Loan Documents (to the extent in Seller's possession),  and (e)
those items set forth in Schedule 5.4  (collectively,  the "Materials").  If the
sale of the Property is not closed by the date fixed therefor,  Purchaser shall,
within five (5) calendar days, return all such Materials to Seller.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                      TITLE

      6.1 On or before seven (7) calendar days from the Effective  Date,  Seller
shall cause to be  delivered  to  Purchaser  (a) a  preliminary  title report or
commitment (the "Title  Commitment")  prepared by Stewart Title Guaranty Company
(the "Title  Insurer") to issue an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title
Policy")  insuring  title to the  Property  to be good and  indefeasible  in the
amount  of  the  Purchase  Price,  subject  only  to  the  Permitted  Exceptions
(described  below) and other liens and encumbrances not constituting  objections
to title in accordance herewith, together with legible copies of all instruments
identified therein as exceptions, and (b) a survey of the Land and Improvements,
prepared in accordance with and complying with the minimum  requirements of ALTA
and  complying  with all of  Mortgagee's  survey  requirements,  in a form,  and
certified  as of a date  satisfactory  to the Title  Insurer to delete  standard
survey  exceptions from the Title Policy,  except for any Permitted  Exceptions,
and (i) showing all improvements,  recorded easements (to the extent locatable),
set  back  lines  and  such  other  matters  shown as  exceptions  by the  Title
Commitment; (ii) showing the right of way for all adjacent public streets; (iii)
specifically  disclosing  whether (and, if so, what part of) any of the Property
is in an area designated as requiring flood insurance under  applicable  federal
laws regulating  lenders;  (iv) containing a perimeter legal  description of the
Property;  (v)  certified to Purchaser,  Mortgagee,  Seller and Title Insurer as
being true and correct;  and (vi)  certifying  the legal  description  set forth
therein as describing the Property to be purchased by Purchaser  pursuant to the
terms of this  Purchase  Contract  (the  "Survey").  On or before  ten (10) days
following  Purchaser's receipt of the Title Commitment,  the documents of record
reflected  therein,  and the Survey,  Purchaser  shall give written  notice (the
"Objection  Notice")  to the  attorneys  for Seller of any  conditions  of title
subject to which Purchaser is not obligated to take the Property pursuant to the
provisions of this Purchase Contract (the  "Objections")  separately  specifying
and setting forth each such  objection.  Seller shall have no obligation to cure
any matter set forth in the Objection Notice,  but shall extend the Closing Date
for up to an  additional  thirty  (30) days to cure any such  matter.  If Seller
gives  Purchaser  notice  (the  "Response  Notice")  that  Seller  is  unable or
unwilling to cure any Objection set forth in the Objection  Notice, or if Seller
fails to or does not give  Purchaser a Response  Notice,  Purchaser  may, as its
exclusive  remedy,  elect by written notice to Seller,  within five (5) Business
Days after the  Objection  Notice is given,  either (a) to accept  such title as
Seller is able to convey  without any  reduction  or  abatement  of the Purchase
Price,  or (b) to terminate  this  Purchase  Contract in which event the Deposit
shall be  returned  to  Purchaser.  If  Purchaser  fails to give  notice  of its
election to terminate this  Agreement  within such five (5) Business Day period,
Purchaser  shall be deemed to have waived such Objections and to have elected to
proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract.

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

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

      6.4 Purchaser  acknowledges that Purchaser has been advised by Seller that
the Property  does not include a tract of land  containing  approximately  2.392
acres   located   contiguous   to  the  Property   (the   "Contiguous   Tract"),
notwithstanding  that Seller has used and  maintained  the  Contiguous  Tract in
connection with its operation of the Property, that Seller has not paid taxes on
the Contiguous Tract and does assert a claim of adverse  possession with respect
to the Contiguous Tract.

      6.5  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any deeds of trust and/or  mortgages
(including  any and all mortgages  which secure the Seller's  Note  Obligations)
against the Property  (whether one or more, the "Mortgage")  shall not be deemed
Permitted  Exceptions,  whether  Purchaser  gives written notice of such or not,
unless Purchaser  elects to assume the Seller's Note Obligation  pursuant to the
provisons of ARTICLE 4, and, unless assumed by Purchaser  pursuant to ARTICLE 4,
shall be paid off,  satisfied,  discharged  and/or  cured by Seller at or before
Closing,  provided that Purchaser  shall be  responsible  for the payment of all
amounts  or fees  due and  payable  in  connection  with the  prepayment  of the
Seller's Note Obligation (other than scheduled  payments of principal  interest,
escrows and reserves due prior to the Closing Date).

      6.6 Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien
or  encumbrance  to attach to the Property  between the  Effective  Date and the
Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts in the ordinary course of
business) provided,  however, after the expiration of the Feasibility Period and
prior to the  Closing  Date,  all Leases and  Property  Contracts  must be first
approved in writing by Purchaser  unless (a) such Lease has a term not less than
six (6) months nor more than twelve  (12) months and a monthly  rental and other
terms and  conditions  which are similar to those  currently  offered to tenants
under  existing  Leases for units of similar size and type, or (b) such Property
Contract is terminable on not less than thirty (30) days prior written  notice);
any such  monetary lien or  encumbrance  so attaching by voluntary act of Seller
(hereinafter,  a "Voluntary Intervening Lien") shall be discharged by the Seller
at or prior to Closing,  on the Closing  Date,  or any  extended  Closing  Date.
Except as expressly  provided in this ARTICLE 6, Seller shall not be required to
undertake efforts to remove any Objection or other lien,  encumbrance,  security
interest, exception, objection or other matter, to make any expenditure of money
or institute litigation or any other judicial or administrative  proceeding, and
Seller may elect not to discharge the same;  provided,  however,  if any lien or
encumbrance  (other than a Voluntary  Intervening Lien) attaches to the Property
between the  Effective  Date of this  Purchase  Contract  and the Closing  Date,
Seller shall be required to satisfy or discharge  said lien or encumbrance at or
prior to the Closing.

      6.7  Purchaser  shall be  responsible  for the costs of the Survey and all
costs of any changes to the Survey  required by Purchaser or the  Mortgagee.  In
connection  therewith,  Seller advises Purchaser that, as of the Effective Date,
the  cost  of  the  Survey  is  $1,200.00.  In the  event  the  perimeter  legal
description of the Property  contained in the Survey differs from that contained
in the deed or deeds by which  Seller  took  title to the  Property,  the latter
description shall be used in the Deed.  Purchaser,  at Purchaser's sole cost and
expense, may also cause to be prepared an environmental report for the Property.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     CLOSING

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

            7.1.1 The Closing shall occur  concurrently  with the closing of the
Related Contract (as defined in Section 7.3) but not earlier than the date which
is the  later of (a)  forty-five  (45)  days  following  the  expiration  of the
Feasibility Period, or (b) in the event that Purchaser elects to seek Assumption
Approval,  ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of the Assumption  Approval,
but in no event  later  than  July 13,  2001,  it being  agreed  by  Seller  and
Purchaser  that in the event that the Seller's Note  Obligation is to be prepaid
in connection with the Closing,  the Closing shall occur on the fifteenth (15th)
day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the  immediately
preceeding Business Day), through an escrow with Escrow Agent. Seller, Purchaser
and their  attorneys  need not be  physically  present  at the  Closing  and may
deliver  documents by overnight air courier or other means.  If Purchaser  seeks
Assumption  Approval,  Purchaser  shall  provide  to  Seller  written  notice of
Purchaser's receipt of Assumption Approval not more than three (3) Business Days
following the date thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser does not
receive Assumption Approval on or before 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, of July
3, 2001,  Purchaser  shall have the right to extend the  Closing  Date set forth
above to August 15, 2001, in which event on or before 12:00 p.m., Houston, Texas
time,  on the date which is not less than three (3)  Business  Days prior to the
Closing  Date,  (a)  Purchaser  shall  deliver  to  Escrow  Agent an  additional
non-refundable  deposit  in the  amount of Fifty  Thousand  and  No/100  Dollars
($50,000.00),  which  deposit shall become a part of, and be applied in the same
manner as, the Deposit, and (b) Purchaser delivers written Notice to Seller that
Purchaser is electing to extend the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 7.1.1.
If Purchaser  seeks to obtain an extension of the Closing date under the Related
Contract,  Purchaser shall also seek to extend the Closing Date of this Purchase
Contract in accordance with this Section 7.1.1.

            7.1.2 The Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option
of Seller to a date not later than thirty (30) days  following  the Closing Date
specified  in  Section  7.1.1  above to  satisfy a  condition  to  Closing to be
satisfied by Seller, or such later date as is mutually  acceptable to Seller and
Purchaser.

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

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

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

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

      7.2   Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing.

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

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

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

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

                  7.2.1.4  A closing statement executed by Seller.

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

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

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

                  7.2.1.8  Evidence   that  the   Management Agreement  has been
terminated.

                  7.2.1.9 A rent roll for the  Property,  updated  to a date not
earlier than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date and certified by Seller but
limited to Seller's  knowledge,  listing the monthly  base rent  payable,  lease
expiration date and unapplied Security Deposits for each Lease.

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

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

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

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

                  7.2.2.2  A closing statement executed by Purchaser.

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

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

                  7.2.2.5 Such instruments, documents, certificates and opinions
of counsel as are required to be delivered by Purchaser  incident to  obtainment
of  Assumption  Approval,  if  applicable,   or  which  otherwise  evidence  the
satisfaction  of  all  conditions  precedent  to  the  Assumption  Approval  (if
applicable),  including  but  not  limited  to the  release  of  Seller  and its
affiliate  guarantor(s)  from all liability under the Loan Documents,  have been
satisfied.

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

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

            7.3 Related Purchase Contracts. Contemporaneously with the execution
of this  Purchase  Contract,  Purchaser  is  entering  into a separate  purchase
contract (the "Related  Contract") to purchase the additional  properties listed
on Schedule 7.3 (the "Related  Property") from the seller listed on Schedule 7.3
(the  "Related  Seller").  Notwithstanding  that  separate  contracts  are being
entered into for the sale and purchase of the Property and the Related Property,
it is the intent of Seller  and  Purchaser  that the  Property  and the  Related
Property  be  purchased,  and the  closing  of such sales and  purchases  occur,
concurrently.  Accordingly, in the event that the Related Contract is terminated
or cancelled by Purchaser  for any reason,  or if Purchaser  shall be in default
under the Related Contract for any reason, then Seller shall have the right, but
not the obligation,  to terminate this Purchase Contract,  and Seller shall have
the right to delivery of the Deposit  pursuant to the  provisions  of ARTICLE 12
hereof;  otherwise,  Purchaser  shall have the right to a return of the  Deposit
unless Seller is otherwise entitled to the delivery thereof (or portion thereof)
pursuant to the other  provisions of this Purchase  Contract.  In the event that
Related  Seller shall be in default  under any  purchase  contract for a Related
Property,  Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to terminate
this Purchase  Contract,  and Purchaser  shall have the right to a return of the
Deposit or to  otherwise  treat such  default as a default  under this  Purchase
Contract in accordance  with the  provisions  of ARTICLE 12 hereof.  Any default
under a purchase  contract  between  Purchaser  and any  Related  Seller for the
purchase of a Related  Property  shall be deemed a default  under this  Purchase
Contract unless expressly waived in writing by the non-defaulting party.
                                    ARTICLE 8

         REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER

      8.1   Representations, Warranties and Covenants Of Seller.

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

                  8.1.1.1  Seller  is  lawfully  and  duly  organized,  and,  if
applicable,  in good  standing  under the laws of the state of its formation set
forth in the initial  paragraph  of this  Purchase  Contract;  and has or at the
Closing  shall have the power and  authority to sell and convey the Property and
to execute the  documents to be executed by Seller and prior to the Closing will
have taken as applicable, all corporate,  partnership, limited liability company
or  equivalent  entity  actions  required for the execution and delivery of this
Purchase Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Purchase Contract;  provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes
untrue,  Purchaser's  remedies  shall be limited to the right to terminate  this
Purchase Contract and receive a return of the Deposit,  and Seller shall have no
other  liability as a result  thereof,  either before or after the Closing.  The
compliance  with or  fulfillment  of the terms and  conditions  hereof  will not
conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of,
or  constitute  a default  under,  any contract to which Seller is a party or by
which Seller is otherwise bound.  Seller has not made any other contract for the
sale of, or given any other person the right to purchase, all or any part of any
of the Property.

                  8.1.1.2  Seller owns  indefeasible  fee title to the Property,
including all real property  contained therein required to be sold to Purchaser,
subject  only  to the  Permitted  Exceptions  (provided,  however,  that if this
representation  is or becomes  untrue  other  than  through a  voluntary  act of
Seller,  Purchaser's  remedies  shall be limited to the right to terminate  this
Purchase  Contract  within five (5) days of receipt by Purchaser  from the Title
Insurer of such information and receive a return of the Deposit, less the Option
Consideration, and Seller shall have no other liability as a result thereof.

                  8.1.1.3 There are no adverse or other parties in possession of
the  Property,  except  for  occupants,  guests  and  tenants  under the  Leases
(provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue (other than
through a voluntary act of Seller), Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the
right to terminate this Purchase Contract as provided in Section 6.1 and receive
a return of the Deposit,  and Seller  shall have no other  liability as a result
thereof, either before or after Closing).

                  8.1.1.4 The  joinder of no person or entity  other than Seller
is  necessary  to convey the  Property,  fully and  completely,  to Purchaser at
Closing,  or to fulfill Seller's  obligations under this Purchase Contract,  and
Seller has all  necessary  right and authority to convey and assign to Purchaser
all  contract  rights and  warranties  required to be conveyed  and  assigned to
Purchaser hereunder.

                  8.1.1.5 Purchaser has no duty to collect withholding taxes for
Seller  pursuant to the Foreign  Investors  Real  Property  Tax Act of 1980,  as
amended.

                  8.1.1.6  To   Seller's   knowledge,   there  are  no  actions,
proceedings,  litigation or governmental  investigations or condemnation actions
either pending or threatened against the Property, as applicable.

                  8.1.1.7  Seller  has no  knowledge  of any  claims  for  labor
performed,   materials   furnished  or  services  rendered  in  connection  with
constructing,  improving or repairing any of the Property, as applicable, caused
by Seller and which remain  unpaid beyond the date for which payment was due and
in respect of which liens may or could be filed against any of the Property,  as
applicable.

                  8.1.1.8 To Seller's  knowledge,  Seller has not  received  any
written notice of any proposed taking,  condemnation or special  assessment with
respect to the Property.

                  8.1.1.9 To Seller's  knowledge,  Seller has not  received  any
written  notice of any  uncured  violations  of any  federal,  state,  county or
municipal  law,  ordinance,  order,  regulation  or  requirement  affecting  the
Property.

                  8.1.1.10 To Seller's  knowledge,  Seller has not  received any
written notice of any default by Seller under any of the Property Contracts that
will not be terminated on the Closing Date.

                  8.1.1.11 Until the Closing Date, Seller agrees to (a) maintain
its existing  insurance  policies covering the Property in full force and effect
through the Closing Date, (b) continue to maintain the Property in substantially
the same manner as Seller has been operating the Property  immediately  prior to
the  Effective  Date,  and (c) cause any of the units on the  Property  that are
vacant  as of  three  days  prior  to the  Closing  Date to be in  "make  ready"
condition on the Closing Date.

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

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

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

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

      8.2   Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser

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

                  8.2.1.1  Purchaser is a corporation  duly  organized,  validly

                  8.2.1.2  Purchaser,  acting  through  any of its or their duly
empowered  and  authorized  officers or  members,  has all  necessary  power and
authority to own and use its properties and to transact the business in which it
is  engaged,  and has full  power and  authority  to enter  into  this  Purchase
Contract,  to execute and  deliver the  documents  and  instruments  required of
Purchaser herein,  and to perform its obligations  hereunder;  and no consent of
any of  Purchaser's  officers or members are required to so empower or authorize
Purchaser.

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

                  8.2.1.4  Purchaser is duly  authorized to execute and deliver,
acting  through its duly  empowered  and  authorized  officers  and perform this
Purchase   Contract  and  all  documents  and   instruments   and   transactions
contemplated  hereby or  incidental  hereto,  and such  execution,  delivery and
performance  by  Purchaser  does not (i)  violate any of the  provisions  of its
certificate of incorporation  or bylaws,  (ii) violate any provision of any law,
governmental rule or regulation currently in effect, (iii) violate any judgment,
decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect that
names or is specifically directed at Purchaser or its property, and (iv) require
the consent,  approval,  order or authorization of, or any filing with or notice
to, any court or other governmental authority.

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

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

            8.2.3  Seller  will   cooperate  with  Purchaser  in  obtaining  the
Assumption Approval, if applicable.


                                    ARTICLE 9

                         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

            9.1.3 Seller shall have fully complied with, fulfilled and performed

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    BROKERAGE

      10.1 Seller  represents  and warrants to Purchaser  that it has dealt only
with Art Wadlund of  Hendricks & Partners  ("Broker")  in  connection  with this
Purchase Contract. Purchaser acknowledges that Broker represents Seller only and
does not represent  Purchaser in connection with this Purchase Contract.  Seller
and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that, other than Broker,
it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate  broker,
sales person or finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party
agrees to  indemnify  the other party from and against all claims for  brokerage
commissions  and  finder's  fees  arising  from or  attributable  to the acts or
omissions of the indemnifying party.

      10.2 Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission  according to the terms of a
separate  agreement.  Broker  shall  not  be  deemed  a  party  or  third  party
beneficiary of this Purchase Contract.

      10.3 Broker assumes no responsibility for the condition of the Property or
representation  for the  performance of this Purchase  Contract by the Seller or
Purchaser.

      10.4 The  Texas  Real  Estate  License  Act  requires  written  notice  to
Purchaser  from any licensed  real estate broker or salesman who is to receive a
commission  from  Purchaser  that  Purchaser  should have an attorney of its own
selection  examine an abstract of title to the property  being  acquired or that
Purchaser  should be furnished with or should obtain a title  insurance  policy.
Notice to that effect is,  therefore,  hereby  given to  Purchaser  on behalf of
Broker.
                                   ARTICLE 11

                                   POSSESSION

      11.1 Possession of the Property subject to the Permitted  Exceptions shall
be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing,  subject to Purchaser's  earlier right
of entry for inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5.
                                   ARTICLE 12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

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

      12.2 Provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract and
is not otherwise in default hereunder, if the Closing does not occur as a result
of Seller's default  hereunder  (which shall not include  Seller's  inability to
convey title [other than through a voluntary act of Seller]),  the inaccuracy of
either of Seller's  representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.1.1.2
or 8.1.1.3,  the  inaccuracy of either or both of Seller's  representations  and
warranties set forth in Sections 8.1.1.1 or 8.1.1.4 due to Seller's inability to
obtain any necessary  consent or approval prior to the Closing Date (as the same
may be extended  pursuant to the  provisions  hereof),  Purchaser's  sole remedy
shall be to elect to either (a)  terminate  this  Purchase  Contract and receive
reimbursement  of the  Deposit  or (b)  enforce  specific  performance  of  this
Purchase Contract;  provided,  however, that in the event Purchaser is unable to
enforce the remedy of specific  performance after using commercially  reasonable
efforts to seek to  enforce  such  remedy,  then in lieu of  obtaining  specific
performance,  Purchaser  shall have the right to bring suit for damages  against
Seller  in an  amount  not  to  exceed  $102,000.00  in  addition  to  receiving
reimbursement of the Deposit.
                                   ARTICLE 13

                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

      13.1 In the event that the  Property  is damaged or  destroyed  by fire or
other casualty  after the Effective  Date but prior to Closing,  and the cost of
repair is more than $300,000, then Seller will have no obligation to repair such
damage or destruction and, at Purchaser's option, this Agreement shall terminate
and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.  In the event  Purchaser  elects
not to terminate this Agreement,  this transaction shall be closed in accordance
with  the  terms  of  this  Agreement,   notwithstanding   any  such  damage  or
destruction,  and Purchaser  shall  receive,  at Closing all insurance  proceeds
pertaining  thereto (plus a credit  against the Purchase  Price in the amount of
any  deductible  payable  by Seller in  connection  therewith),  but only to the
extent  the damage or  destruction  has not been  repaired  by Seller out of the
insurance proceeds.

      13.2 In the event that the  Property  is damaged or  destroyed  by fire or

provided herein and as provided in the Purchase Contract.

2.____Investment  of Escrow Fund. All funds received by Escrow Agent,  including
the Deposit (collectively, the "Escrow Fund"), shall be held in insured accounts
and  invested  in an  interest-bearing  bank  account  acceptable  to Seller and
Purchaser at one or more federally  insured national banking  association(s)  or
such other investment jointly directed by Seller and Purchaser should Seller and

sole  discretion),  Escrow  Agent shall  apply the Escrow Fund to the  "Purchase

herein,  such party shall give Notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party of
the claim in writing, describing in such Notice the nature of the claim, and the
provisions  of the  Purchase  Contract  on which the claim is based.  Unless the

obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Escrow  Agreement or
for its enforcement,  or to appear in, prosecute,  or defend any action or legal
proceeding  which,  in its  opinion,  would or might  involve  it in any  costs,

furnished  with  satisfactory  security  and  indemnity  against all such costs,
expenses, losses, or liabilities.

3.1. The purchase  price  ("Purchase  Price") for the  Properties  shall be Nine
Million Nine Hundred Fifty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($9,955,000),  which
shall be paid by Purchaser, as follows:

3.1.1. Upon the execution of this Purchase Contract,  Purchaser shall deliver to
Escrow Agent the sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars  ($100,000) (the

not elect to terminate  this Purchase  Contract in accordance  with Section 4.2,
Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional  deposit in the sum of One
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars  ($100,000) (the "Additional  Deposit"),  by

hereinafter referred to as the "Deposit"). Purchaser's failure to timely deliver
the Deposit  shall  terminate  this  Purchase  Contract.  Purchaser  and Sellers

shall be returned and refunded to  Purchaser,  and neither  party shall have any
further  liability  hereunder,  subject to and except for Purchaser's  liability
under Section 4.4.

3.1.4.  If the sale of the  Properties is not closed by the date fixed  therefor
(subject to any extension set forth herein) owing to failure of  performance  by
either Seller,  Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Article
12  hereof.  If the sale of the  Properties  is not  closed  by the  date  fixed
therefor  (or any such  extension  date set forth  herein)  owing to  failure of
performance  by  Purchaser,  the Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and the
sum thereof shall go to Sellers as Sellers' sole and exclusive  remedy forthwith
as liquidated  damages for the lost opportunity  costs and transaction  expenses
incurred by Sellers, as more fully set forth in Article 12 below.

4.2.  Should the  results of any of the matters  referred  to in  sub-paragraphs
4.1.1,  4.1.2, 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 above appear  unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any
reason or if Purchaser  elects not to proceed with the transaction  contemplated
by this Purchase Contract, for any other reason, or for no reason whatsoever, in
Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, then Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate  this  Purchase  Contract by giving  written  Notice to that effect to
Sellers and Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. EST on the date of expiration of
the  Feasibility  Period.  If Purchaser  exercises its right to terminate,  this
Purchase Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject
to and except for  Purchaser's  liability  under  Section  4.4, and Escrow Agent
shall  forthwith  deliver to Sellers the sum of One  Hundred and 00/100  Dollars
($100.00)  as  consideration  for Sellers  having taken the  Properties  off the
market,  and return the  Deposit to  Purchaser.  If  Purchaser  fails to provide
Sellers  with  written  Notice of  termination  prior to the  expiration  of the
Feasibility  Period in strict  accordance  with the  Notice  provisions  of this
Purchase Contract,  this Purchase Contract shall remain in full force and effect
and Purchaser's  obligation to purchase the Properties  shall be  non-contingent
and  unconditional  except only for  satisfaction  of the  conditions  expressly
stated in this Article 4 and in Article 9.

4.3. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective  Date, each Seller
with  respect  to its  Property  shall  deliver  (solely  to the  extent in such

Contracts,  (ii)  Leases (in effect as of the  Effective  Date),  (iii) soil and
environmental  reports and  studies,  (iv)  reports and studies  relating to the
physical condition of its Property, (v) a list of Fixtures and Tangible Personal
Property,  (vi) monthly  operating  statements  and audited or unaudited  annual
operating  statements  for the twelve (12) month period  prior to the  Effective
Date,  (vii) a rent roll, a list of all accounts  receivable  and a  delinquency
report,  (viii) copies of termination notices relating to the Leases received by

notices received from local and state governmental authorities.  In addition, no
later than five (5) days  following the Effective  Date,  each Seller shall make
available to  Purchaser  at its Property (in each case,  solely to the extent in
such Seller's possession or control) the following with respect to its Property:
(x) architectural and engineering plans, (xi) tenant  correspondence  files with
respect to the  Leases,  (xii)  service  and  repair  requests  and work  orders
relating to such  Property,  and (xiii) copies of  governmental  permits,  alarm
registrations and other permits and licenses  necessary for the operation of its
Property.


4.4.  Purchaser shall indemnify,  defend (with attorneys  selected by Sellers in
their reasonable discretion) and hold each Seller harmless for any actions taken
by Purchaser  and its  Consultants  and any and all claims,  damages,  costs and
liability which may arise due to such entries, surveys, tests, investigation and
the like on the Properties in connection with the performance of Purchaser's due
diligence hereunder;  provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary,  Purchaser shall not be liable for any damages  incurred by either
Seller  resulting from the mere discovery by Purchaser of a condition at or with
regard to such Seller's Property, Purchaser hereby acknowledging,  however, that
Sellers shall have no obligation to Purchaser in connection  with such condition
or otherwise to remedy such condition unless the remedy of specific performance,
as provided in Article 12 hereof,  would  require a Seller to do so. Each Seller
shall have the right, without limitation,  to disapprove of any and all entries,
surveys,  tests,  investigations  and the like other than Phase I  environmental
investigations that in its reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its
Property or breach of any  agreement,  or expose  such Seller to any  liability,
costs, liens or violations of applicable law, or otherwise  adversely affect its
Property or such Seller's interest  therein.  No consent by either Seller to any
such  activity  shall be deemed  to  constitute  a waiver  by  either  Seller or
assumption  of liability or risk by either  Seller.  Purchaser  hereby agrees to
restore the  Properties  to the same  condition  existing  immediately  prior to
Purchaser's  exercise of its rights  pursuant to this Article 4, at  Purchaser's
sole cost and expense, to the extent the damage to any Property or the change in
condition thereof is attributable to the performance of due diligence  hereunder
by Purchaser or its Consultants.  Purchaser shall maintain  comprehensive public
liability  insurance with broad form  contractual and personal injury  liability
endorsements with respect to each Property and Purchaser's activities carried on
therein,  in amounts  (including  deductible  amounts)  and with such  insurance
carriers as shall be approved by Sellers and naming Sellers and their affiliates
as additional  insureds,  with endorsements  acceptable to Sellers,  including a
waiver of defenses of the insurer based on the actions or inaction of Purchaser.
Such liability  insurance  shall provide  coverages of not less than  $1,000,000
(per  occurrence  and in the  aggregate)  for death or injury to persons and for
property  damage.  The  provisions  of this Section shall survive the Closing or
termination of this Purchase Contract.


4.5.  Purchaser  shall not permit any mechanic's or  materialman's  liens or any
other  liens to attach to either  Property by reason of the  performance  of any
work or the  purchase  of any  materials  by  Purchaser  or any  other  party in
connection  with any studies or tests  conducted by or for Purchaser.  Purchaser
shall give notice to Sellers  within a  reasonable  time prior to entry onto any
Property and shall permit each Seller to have a  representative  present  during
all  investigations  and  inspections  conducted  with respect to its  Property.
Purchaser  shall take all  reasonable  actions  and  implement  all  protections
necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations
and inspections of the Properties,  and all equipment,  materials and substances
generated,  used or brought onto the Properties,  pose no material threat to the
safety of persons or the  environment  and cause no damage to the  Properties or
other property of Sellers or other persons.

("Title  Insurer") for owner's title insurance  policies (1992 ALTA Form B), and
have  delivered the Title  Commitment  together  with copies of all  instruments
identified  as exceptions  therein to  Purchaser.  Each Seller agrees that it is
responsible  for the cost of a standard  owner's  title policy for its Property.
Purchaser  agrees that it shall be solely  responsible  for payment of all costs
relating to any extended owner's title policies and any requested endorsements.

5.2. Purchaser agrees to accept title to the Land and Improvements in accordance
with the  terms  of this  Purchase  Contract,  so long as with  respect  to each
Property  (i) the  title  is good and  marketable  and  insurable,  and (ii) any
conveyance by special  warranty or an equivalent  deed pursuant to this Purchase
Contract  shall  be  subject  to the  following,  all of which  shall be  deemed
"Permitted  Exceptions,"  and  Purchaser  agrees  to  accept  the deed and title

5.2.2.      All Leases;

5.2.3.      Real estate and property taxes to the extent not due and payable;

5.2.4.      Such exceptions and matters as the Title Insurer shall be willing to
omit as exceptions to coverage; and

5.2.5.  All Property  Contracts  which are not  identified  for  termination  by
Purchaser  during the  Feasibility  Period and all Excluded  Property  Contracts
which shall be assumed by  Purchaser or cancelled  with  Purchaser  being solely
responsible for the payment of any cancellation fees or penalties.

5.3. With respect to each Property, the existence of the Loan Documents,  liens,
or  encumbrances  shall not be  objections  to  title,  provided  that  properly
executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy and remove the same
of record are  delivered  to the  Purchaser  at Closing or, in the  alternative,
payoff  letters from the Lender or any holder of any Loan  Documents  shall have
been  delivered to and accepted by the Title Insurer  (sufficient  to remove the
same from the policy issued at Closing), together in either case, with recording
and/or filing fees.

title,  but the amount  thereof plus  interest and  penalties  thereon  shall be
deducted  from  the  Purchase  Price  to be  paid  for the  applicable  Property
hereunder and allowed to Purchaser,  subject to the provisions for apportionment
of taxes and charges contained herein.

chain of title  shall  not be an  objection  to title,  provided  that the Title
Insurer  agrees to insure against  collection out of the applicable  Property or
otherwise  against  Purchaser or its affiliates,  and provided  further that the
Title  Insurer  agrees to omit such taxes as exceptions to coverage with respect
to any lender's title insurance policy with respect to the applicable Property.

5.6. If on the Closing Date there shall be conditional  bills of sale or Uniform
Commercial Code Financing Statements  applicable to any Property that exceed the
period of time  mandated  under the law of the state  where the  Properties  are
located that a Uniform Commercial Code Financing  Statement is perfected without
the filing of UCC-3 continuation  statements and such Financing  Statements have
not been  extended  by the filing of UCC-3  continuation  statements  within the
applicable  time period  mandated by the  applicable  state law, such  Financing
Statements shall not be deemed an objection to title.

5.7. If on the Closing Date, the state of title is other than in accordance with
the requirements  set forth in this Purchase  Contract or if any condition to be
fulfilled  by either  Seller shall not be  satisfied,  Purchaser  shall  provide
Sellers with written  Notice  thereof at such time,  or such title  objection or
unfulfilled  condition  shall be  deemed  waived  by  Purchaser  in  which  case
Purchaser and Sellers  shall  proceed to  consummate  the Closing on the Closing
Date. If Purchaser timely gives Sellers such Notice,  each Seller,  with respect
its Property and at its sole option and within seven (7) calendar days following
receipt  of such  Notice,  may  elect  to cure  such  objection  or  unfulfilled
condition  for up to thirty (30)  calendar  days.  Should such Seller be able to
cure such title  objection or condition,  or should such Seller be able to cause
title insurance over the same by the Closing Date or any postponed Closing Date,
or should  Purchaser  waive such  objection or condition  within such period for
cure,  then the Closing shall take place on or before fifteen (15) calendar days
after such cure or waiver.

5.8.  Subject to each  Seller's  obligation to cure under Section 5.9, if during
the period of cure either  Seller,  with respect to its  Property,  is unable or
unwilling,  in its sole discretion or opinion, to eliminate such title objection
or cause a title  insurance  company to insure over such matter or satisfy  such
unfulfilled condition,  Sellers shall give Purchaser written Notice thereof, and
if  Purchaser  does not waive such  objection  by written  Notice  delivered  to
Sellers and the Title Insurer on or before seven (7) calendar days following the
date Sellers give such Notice,  then this Purchase Contract shall  automatically
terminate,  the Deposit  shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent less
the  sum  of  One  Hundred  and  00/100   Dollars  ($100)  paid  to  Sellers  as
consideration for taking the Properties off of the market; each Seller shall pay
to Purchaser the amount of actual third party  out-of-pocket  costs and expenses
incurred by Purchaser in  connection  with the  investigations  of such Seller's
Property  in an  amount  not to  exceed a total of Twenty  Thousand  and  00/100
Dollars  ($20,000)  paid to Purchaser for both  Properties and as a condition of
prior to such payment to Purchaser,  Sellers shall have been provided  copies of
and rights to all inspections and reports;  and the parties hereto shall have no
further obligations to each other.

5.9. Each Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien
or  encumbrance  (other than Leases and  Property  Contracts  permitted  by this
Purchase  Contract) to attach to its Property between the Effective Date and the
Closing Date.  Any monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching by voluntary act of
either Seller shall be discharged by such Seller at or prior to Closing,  on the
Closing Date or any postponed Closing Date. Except as expressly  provided above,
neither Seller shall be required to undertake  efforts to remove any other lien,
encumbrance,  security interest,  exception,  objection or other matter, to make
any  expenditure  of money or  institute  litigation  or any other  judicial  or
administrative proceeding and either Seller may elect not to discharge the same.

5.10.  Anything to the contrary  notwithstanding,  Purchaser  shall not have any
right to terminate  this Purchase  Contract or object to any lien,  encumbrance,
exception or other matter that is a Permitted Exception, that has been waived or
that has been deemed to have been waived by Purchaser.

5.11. Sellers have caused a survey to be prepared for the Properties ("Survey").
An original counterpart of the Survey has been or will be delivered to Purchaser
no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date. In the event that
the perimeter legal description of any Property contained in such Survey differs
from that  contained  in the deed or deeds by which a Seller  took  title to its
Property,  the latter  description shall be used in the special warranty deed or
equivalent  (which is attached  as Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to this  Purchase
Contract for each  Property)  delivered to Purchaser at Closing,  and the Survey
legal shall be used in a quitclaim  deed to the  applicable  Property which also
shall  be  delivered  to  Purchaser  at  Closing.  Should  the  Survey  disclose
conditions that give rise to a title exception other than a Permitted Exception,
Purchaser shall have the right to object thereto within the  Feasibility  Period
in accordance  with the procedures  set forth in Article 4 above.  Purchaser and
Sellers  agree to split the cost of the Survey  which shall be paid on or before
the Closing. Purchaser agrees to pay any additional costs relating to the Survey
or any update thereto on or before the Closing.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,
if the  transactions  contemplated  by this Purchase  Contract do not close then
Sellers shall be responsible for the full cost of the Survey.

prepay the Existing  Financing  until the Closing  Date,  and then only from the

of this  Section  7.1.3  shall  apply  during the  Proration  Period (as defined
below).

7.1.4. If any of the items subject to proration  hereunder cannot be prorated at
the Closing  because the  information  necessary  to compute  such  proration is
unavailable,  or if any  errors or  omissions  in  computing  prorations  at the
Closing  are  discovered  subsequent  to the  Closing,  then such item  shall be
reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected promptly after the date of
such availability or discovery and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation
shall survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration Period") from the Closing
Date until one (l) year after the Closing  Date.  No party hereto shall have the
right to require a  recomputation  of a Closing  proration or a correction of an
error or omission in a Closing  proration unless within the Proration Period one
of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or
has discovered  the error or omission,  and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the
other  party  together  with  a copy  of its  good  faith  recomputation  of the
proration   and  copies  of  all   substantiating   information   used  in  such
recomputation.  The  failure  of a party to obtain  any  previously  unavailable
information  or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to
proration  hereunder  and to give Notice  thereof as provided  above  within the
Proration  Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation
or a  correction  of an error or  omission  with  respect to such item after the
Closing Date.

7.1.5.  With  respect to unpaid Rent not more than thirty (30) days  delinquent,
Purchaser  shall use  reasonable  efforts to collect the same for each  Seller's
benefit after the Closing in the usual course of the operation of the Properties
(but  Purchaser  shall not be required  to incur any expense in such  collection
effort) and such collection,  if any shall be remitted to the applicable  Seller
(less  costs and  expenses  of  collection,  if any)  promptly  upon  receipt by
Purchaser;  provided  Purchaser's  obligation  to remit such  delinquent  rental
payments to such Seller shall  terminate sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.
Nothing  contained  herein shall  operate to require  Purchaser to institute any
lawsuit or other  collection  procedure  to  collect  such  delinquent  rentals.
Sellers and Purchaser  agree that any sums received by Purchaser from any tenant
owing delinquent rentals shall first be applied to rentals and any other amounts
owed to  Purchaser  and then to  delinquent  rentals  with respect to the period
before  Closing.  This  provision  shall survive the Closing for a period not to
exceed ninety (90) days.

7.1.6. Fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas,  electricity,
telephone and all other public utilities shall be adjusted as of midnight of the
day immediately  preceding the Closing Date. If there are meters on any Property
measuring the consumption of water, gas or electric current,  each Seller shall,
not more than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date,  cause such meters
(for utilities for which such Seller,  and not Tenants,  is  responsible)  to be
read and shall pay  promptly  all utility  bills for which such Seller is liable
upon receipt of statements therefor. Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay
all utility bills for services rendered after such meter readings.

7.1.7. If any security deposit for a corporate  apartment unit is in the form of
a letter of credit,  then the applicable Seller shall cause a replacement letter
of credit to be issued and  delivered  to Purchaser on the Closing Date upon the
same terms and  conditions  as the  original  letter of credit.  If  replacement
letters of credit  cannot be issued and  delivered  to  Purchaser on the Closing
Date,  then such Seller shall  deposit  with  Purchaser on the Closing Date cash
equal to the  amount  of the  letters  of  credit  not  replaced,  to be held by
Purchaser as tenant security  deposits until  replacement  letters of credit are
delivered to Purchaser.

7.1.8. All apartment units vacated for more than seven (7) Business Days must be
in a "rent ready"  condition.  Rent ready means  Seller's  routine and customary
preparation of units for rental in Seller's ordinary course of business.

arising pursuant to the commission due to Broker. The provisions of this section
shall survive the Closing or termination of the Purchase Contract.

10.2.  Sellers  agree to pay  Broker a  commission  according  to the terms of a
separate  agreement.  Broker  shall  not  be  deemed  a  party  or  third  party
beneficiary of this Purchase Contract.

Article 11.                                POSSESSION

11.1. Possession of the Properties subject to the Permitted Exceptions and the
Leases shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing.

                       Article 12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1. In the Event  Purchaser  fails to close when obligated to do so under this
Purchase Contract,  Sellers and Purchaser agree that it would be impractical and
extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Sellers may suffer.  Therefore
Sellers and Purchaser hereby agree that, except for the Purchaser's  obligations
to Sellers under Section 4.4, the reasonable estimate of the total net detriment
that Sellers would suffer in the event that Purchaser  terminates  this Purchase
Contract or  defaults  hereunder  prior to the Closing  Date is and shall be, as
Sellers' sole and exclusive  remedy (whether at law or in equity),  the right to
receive  from the Escrow  Agent and retain the full amount of the  Deposit.  The
payment and performance of the above as liquidated  damages is not intended as a
forfeiture or penalty  within the meaning of  applicable  law and is intended to
settle all issues and questions about the amount of damages  suffered by Sellers
in the  applicable  event,  except  only for  damages  under  Section 4.4 above,
irrespective  of the time when the  inquiry  about such  damages may take place.
Upon any such default by Purchaser  hereunder,  this Purchase  Contract shall be
terminated, and no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder,
each to the  other,  except for the  Purchaser's  obligations  to Sellers  under
Section 4.4 and the  obligations  of Sellers and Purchaser  pursuant to Sections
10.1 and 10.2 of this Purchase Contract,  and Purchaser and Sellers shall not be
relieved of their respective  obligations  pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of
this  Purchase  Contract  above,  and the  right  of  Sellers  to  collect  such
liquidated damages to the extent not theretofore paid by Purchaser.


      Initials for Seller                       Initials for Seller
Initials for Purchaser

12.2. If the Purchaser  terminates this Purchase Contract in accordance with its
terms,  then this  Purchase  Contract  shall be null and void,  the Escrow Agent
shall  return the Deposit to the  Purchaser  and no party shall have any further
liability or obligation to any other party under this Purchase Contract,  except
that Purchaser  shall not be relieved of its  obligations  under Section 4.4 and
Purchaser  and Sellers  shall not be relieved  of their  respective  obligations
pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Purchase Contract. If either Seller defaults in
performing any covenants or agreements to be performed by such Seller under this
Purchase  Contract or either Seller breaches any  representations  or warranties
made by such Seller in this Purchase  Contract,  Purchaser shall have the right,
instead of terminating this Purchase Contract,  to elect to permit this Purchase
Contract  to remain in effect  and,  in lieu of the  remedies  set forth in this
Section 12.2 other than the  obligation to return the Deposit to  Purchaser,  to
seek  specific  performance  or other  injunctive  relief,  it being agreed that
Purchaser's election to terminate this Purchase Contract or make full settlement
under this Purchase  Contract shall not relieve such Seller of its liability for
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Seller. In
the event that specific performance or other injunctive relief is unavailable to
Purchaser, but a court determines that such Seller's refusal to close under this
Purchase  Contract was wrongful the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser  and,
such Seller shall pay to Purchaser  the actual third party  out-of-pocket  costs
and expenses that Purchaser has incurred in connection  with the negotiation and
preparation  of  this  Agreement,  its  due  diligence  investigations  and  the
prospective  purchase  of its  Property  in an  amount  not to exceed a total of
Twenty  Thousand  and  00/100  Dollars  ($20,000)  paid to  Purchaser  for  both
Properties and as a condition of and prior to such payment to Purchaser, Sellers
shall have been provided copies of and rights to all inspections and reports.

Article 13.                         RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

13.1.  The risk of loss or damage to either  Property by fire or other  casualty
until the deed of  conveyance  is recorded  for such  Property is assumed by the
Seller that owns such Property, provided that such Seller's responsibility shall
be only to the extent of any recovery from  insurance  carried on such Property.
In the event of the damage or destruction of all or any part of either Property,
the  aggregate  cost to repair,  replace  and/or  restore of which  shall be Two
Hundred  Thousand and 00/100  Dollars  ($200,000)  or more (as estimated by such
Seller's  insurance  carrier and  reasonably  acceptable to Purchaser)  for such
Property, prior to Closing, Purchaser may, at its option, exercisable by written
Notice to Sellers  within  five (5) days after  Purchaser  is  notified  of such
damage or  destruction,  either (i) terminate  this Purchase  Contract,  or (ii)
continue under this Purchase Contract,  with no reduction in the Purchase Price,
and receive any insurance proceeds due to such Seller as a result of such damage
or  destruction  (plus a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount of any
deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds),  and assume  responsibility
for the repair of such Property.  Upon  completion of repairs,  Purchaser  shall
promptly forward to such Seller proof of payment for such repairs, and any other
information  reasonably  required  by such  Seller  or such  Seller's  insurance
carrier.  In the  event of the  damage  or  destruction  of any  part of  either
Property prior to Closing, the aggregate cost to repair,  replace and/or restore
of which shall be less than Two Hundred  Thousand and 00/100 Dollars  ($200,000)
(as estimated by such Seller's  insurance  carrier and reasonably  acceptable to
Purchaser)  for such Property,  Purchaser  shall have no right to terminate this
Purchase  Contract on account  thereof,  but any insurance  proceeds due to such
Seller as a result of such  damage or  destruction  shall be paid or assigned to
Purchaser  by such  Seller  (plus a credit  against the  Purchase  Price for the
amount any  deductible  with respect to such  insurance  proceeds) and Purchaser
shall assume the  responsibility  for such repair.  Upon  completion of repairs,
Purchaser  shall  promptly  forward to such  Seller  proof of  payment  for such
repairs,  and any other information  reasonably  required by such Seller or such
Seller's  insurance  carrier.  The obligation of Purchaser to provide  requested
information to such Seller shall survive Closing.  Such Seller shall not, in any
event, be obligated to effect any repair, replacement,  and/or restoration,  but
shall  take  all   necessary   actions  to  protect  and  preserve  the  damaged
improvements and shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Leases.  Such
Seller may elect at its option to effect a repair,  replacement or  restoration,
in which  case such  Seller  may apply the  insurance  proceeds  to the costs of
restoration;  provided,  however, that if such Seller commences restoration,  it
shall be obligated to complete the repair, replacement and/or restoration of the
Improvements.

agency in purchase in lieu thereof or access to its Property  would be denied or
limited because of the condemnation of property adjacent to such Property (or in
the event that at such time there is any notice of any such  acquisition  by any
such  governmental  agency),  Purchaser  shall  have the right,  at  Purchaser's
option,  to terminate  this Purchase  Contract by giving  written  Notice within
