Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 31,  2003,  the  Registrant  sold its  remaining  investment  property,
Commerce Plaza, located in Tampa, Florida. The Registrant sold Commerce Plaza to
Cadle's Commerce Plaza, LLC, an unrelated party, for $1,400,000.  The sale price
was determined  based on the fair market value of the investment  property.  The
Registrant has no remaining investment properties.

In 1999, the Registrant's  Nonrecourse  Promissory Notes (the "Notes")  matured.
The  Registrant  was unable to satisfy the Notes at maturity and as a result the
Registrant was in default.  As a result of the default,  the Registrant  entered
into a  forbearance  agreement  with  the  indenture  trustee.  Pursuant  to the
agreement, the Registrant agreed to (a) deliver to the indenture trustee for the
benefit of the note holders all of the accumulated cash of the Registrant,  less
certain  reserves  and  anticipated  operating  expenses,  (b) market all of its
properties  for  sale,  (c)  deliver  all cash  proceeds  from any  sales to the
indenture  trustee until the notes were fully  satisfied and (d) comply with the
reporting requirements under the indenture.

In  accordance  with the  forbearance  agreement,  the net sales  proceeds  were
deposited  with the indenture  trustee.  The Managing  General  Partner does not
anticipate any proceeds being  available for  distribution  to the  Registrant's
partners.


Item 7.     Financial Statements and Exhibits

(b) Pro forma financial information.

With the sale of the last  investment  property,  the  Registrant is expected to
liquidate the partnership.  As a result,  the Registrant is not filing pro forma
financial information with the Form 8-K.

(c) Exhibits.

The following exhibits are filed with this report (1):

surveys, tests,  investigations and the like; provided,  however, such indemnity
shall not cover claims, damages, costs and liability which arise due to Seller's
gross negligence or willful misconduct or from any preexisting  condition on the
Property. Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and
all  entries,  surveys,  tests,  investigations  and  the  like  that  in  their
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.  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 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  casualty
insurance  and  comprehensive   public  liability   insurance  with  broad  form

Rating Guide Rating of "A-" and a financial category of VII or better and naming
Seller and its  affiliates as loss payees or additional  insureds (at the option
of  Seller),  with  endorsements  acceptable  to Seller,  including  a waiver of
defenses of the insurer  based on the  actions or inaction of  Purchaser  (which
insurance must be reasonably approved by Seller). Such liability insurance shall
provide 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.
5.4 Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or construction 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 proof
of insurance coverage required above to Seller 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

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 If the  sale of the  Property  is not  closed  by the date  fixed  therefor,
Purchaser shall,  within five (5) calendar days,  return all leases,  contracts,
studies,  surveys and other materials relating to the Property (the "Materials")

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                      TITLE
6.1 Purchaser  shall promptly  secure a commitment  for title  insurance for the
Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price ("Title Commitment") issued by
Fidelity National Title Insurance Company ("Title Insurer") for an owner's title
insurance  policy on the most recent  standard  American Land Title  Association
("ALTA") (10/17/92) (with standard Florida  Modifications) Policy form, together
with legible  copies of all  instruments  identified as  exceptions  therein and
shall cause a copy thereof to be delivered immediately to Seller.  Purchaser and
Seller agree that the payment of the cost relating to  procurement  of the Title
Commitment and any Owner title policy shall be paid for by Purchaser.  Purchaser
shall have five (5) Business  Days after the  Effective  Date (the "Title Review
Period")  in which to  examine  title  to the  Property  and  review  the  Title
Commitment and the Survey (as hereinafter  defined).  Prior to the expiration of
the Title Review Period,  Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any liens,
encumbrances  or adverse  conditions to title,  or matters of Survey,  which are
unacceptable to Purchaser  (collectively,  the "Title  Objections")  which would
render title to the Property  unmarketable.  Unless Purchaser notifies Seller in
writing  prior  to the  expiration  of the  Title  Review  Period  of any  Title
Objections,  Purchaser  shall be deemed to be satisfied as of the  conclusion of
the Title  Review  Period with the  condition  of title to the  Property and the
Survey. In the event Purchaser  notifies Seller of any Title Objections,  Seller
shall have the option, but not the obligation,  to cure or otherwise satisfy the
Title  Objections in a manner  acceptable  to Purchaser  and in accordance  with
Sections  6.7 and 6.8  hereof,  at  Seller's  sole cost and  expense;  provided,
however,  that Seller  shall not be required to expend more than  $30,000 in the
aggregate in connection with such cure or  satisfaction.  If the amount required
to cure or satisfy all such Title Objections  exceeds  $30,000,  Purchaser shall
have the option of either (a) paying the excess amount over $30,000  required to
cure or satisfy such Title  Objections,  and  proceeding to the Closing,  or (b)
terminating this Purchase Contract, in which case, the Deposit 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 5.3 of
this Purchase  Contract.  Seller shall have no option to terminate this Purchase
Contract if Purchaser has elected to pay the amount in excess of $30,000 to cure
or satisfy  such Title  Objections.  If Seller  does not elect to cure any Title
Objections,  the  provisions  of Section 6.8 hereof  shall  apply.  In addition,
during the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be entitled to identify as Title
Objections such affirmative title insurance coverages or special endorsements as
determined  necessary by Purchaser,  or Purchaser's  designee,  for which Seller
shall use its best  efforts to cause  Title  Insurer to  provide,  provided  any
premium  charge  for such  affirmative  title  insurance  coverages  or  special
endorsements  as determined  necessary by Purchaser,  or  Purchaser's  designee,
shall be at Purchaser's  sole cost and expense,  and provided  further that such
affirmative title insurance coverages or special  endorsements shall not require
any undertakings or indemnities from Seller.
6.2 Purchaser  agrees to accept title to the Land and  Improvements,  so long as
the same is  marketable  and insurable at ordinary  rates and any  conveyance by
special warranty deed pursuant to this Purchase Contract shall be subject to the
following, all of which shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions",  but only to the
extent the same are approved by Purchaser in accordance  with Section 6.1 above,
and Purchaser agrees to accept the deed and title subject thereto:
6.2.1 All  exceptions  shown in the Title  Commitment  and approved by Purchaser
(other  than  construction  liens and taxes due and  payable  in  respect of the
period preceding Closing) and the standard Permitted Exceptions contained in the
ALTA Title Commitment as described above.
6.2.2 All Commercial Leases and any other occupancy,  residency,  lease, tenancy
and similar  agreements  entered into in the ordinary course of business;  6.2.3
All Property  Contracts and any other existing contracts created in the ordinary
course of  business  by Seller,  which are not  identified  for  termination  by
Purchaser  during the Title Review Period;  6.2.4 Real estate and property taxes
for the calendar year in which closing occurs to the extent not due and payable;
6.2.5 All matters of public record which are shown in the Title  Commitment  (to
the extent approved by Purchaser). 6.3 The existence of other mortgages,  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 Purchaser  at Closing or, in the  alternative,  with
respect to any  mortgage or deed of trust  liens,  that payoff  letters from the
holder of the  mortgage or deed of trust liens shall have been  delivered to and
accepted by Title Insurer  (sufficient to remove the same from the policy issued
at Closing),  together in either case,  with  recording  and/or filing fees. 6.4
Unpaid liens for taxes,  charges,  and  assessments  shall not be  objections to
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  in ARTICLE 7 herein.  6.5 Unpaid  franchise  or
business  corporation  taxes of any corporations in the chain of title shall not
be an objection to title,  provided that Title Insurer  agrees to insure against
collection out of the 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 mortgagee  insurance policy.
6.6 If on the Closing Date there shall be  conditional  bills of sale or Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on a day more than five (5)
years prior to the Closing Date,  and such  financing  statements  have not been
extended by the filing of UCC-3 continuation statements within the past five (5)
years prior to such Closing,  such financing  statements  shall not be deemed an
objection to title.  6.7 If on or before 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 Seller shall not be  satisfied,
Purchaser shall provide Seller 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 Seller shall proceed to consummate  the Closing on the
Closing Date. If Purchaser timely gives Seller such Notice,  or if Purchaser has
given Seller written notice of any Title  Objections in accordance  with Section
6.1 above,  Seller at its sole option and upon Notice to Purchaser  within seven
(7)  calendar  days  following  receipt  of such  Notice  may elect to cure such
objection or unfulfilled condition.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cure title objections raised by Purchaser
which render title to the Property  unmarketable or  uninsurable,  including the
bringing of any  necessary  quiet title suits,  provided,  however,  that Seller
shall not be  required  to spend  more than  $30,000  in the  aggregate  on such
attempt to cure. If Seller makes such election,  then Purchaser and Seller shall
delay the  Closing for a  reasonable  period of time for Seller to cure any such
objection or condition,  such period not to exceed  thirty (30)  calendar  days.
Should  Seller be able to cure such  Title  Objection  or  condition,  or should
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
thirty (30)  calendar  days after  Notice of such cure or waiver.  6.8 If Seller
does not elect to cure such  objection  or  unfulfilled  condition or during the
period of cure Seller is unable or unwilling, in its sole discretion or opinion,
to eliminate  such Title  Objection  or cause Title  Insurer to insure over such
matter or satisfy  such  unfulfilled  condition,  Seller  shall  give  Purchaser
written  Notice  thereof,  and if  Purchaser  does not waive such  objection  by
written  Notice  delivered  to Seller and the title  company  issuing  the Title
Commitment on or before seven (7) calendar days  following the date Seller gives
such Notice, then this Purchase Contract shall automatically  terminate, and the
parties  hereto  shall have no further  obligations  to each  other,  except for
Purchaser's  obligations pursuant to Section 5.3 above, and the Deposit shall be
immediately  returned  to  Purchaser.  6.9  Seller  covenants  that it will  not
voluntarily  create  or  cause  any  lien  or  encumbrance  (including,  without
limitation,  mortgage  liens which  currently do not  encumber the  Property) to
attach  to the  Property  between  the date of this  Purchase  Contract  and the
Closing  Date  (other  than  Commercial  Leases and  Property  Contracts  in the
ordinary course of business); any such monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching
by  voluntary  act of Seller  shall be  discharged  by the Seller at or prior to
Closing on the Closing Date or any postponed  Closing Date.  Except as expressly
provided  above,  and except as expressly  provided in Section 6.7, Seller shall
not 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 Seller may elect not to discharge the same. 6.10  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, 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 deemed to
have been waived by Purchaser.  6.11  Intentionally  deleted.  6.12 Purchaser at
Purchaser's  sole cost and  expense,  may cause to be  prepared a survey for the
Property  ("Survey")  to be delivered to Purchaser  and Seller  within the Title
Review  Period.  The Survey (i) shall be prepared in  accordance  with and shall
comply with the minimum  requirements  of the ALTA; (ii) shall be in a form, and
shall be certified as of a date  satisfactory  to Title  Insurer to enable Title
Insurer to delete standard survey  exceptions from the title insurance policy to
be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment, except for any Permitted Exceptions;
(iii) shall specifically show all improvements, recorded easements to the extent
locatable,  set back lines,  and such other  matters  shown as exceptions by the
Title  Commitments;  (iv)  shall  specifically  show  the  right  of way for all
adjacent public streets;  (v) shall  specifically  disclose 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; (vi) shall contain a
perimeter  legal  description  of the Property  which may be used in the special
warranty; (vii) shall be certified to Purchaser,  Purchaser's lender, Seller and
Title Insurer as being true and correct; and (viii) shall certify that the legal
description set forth therein describes the same, and comprises all of, the real
estate  comprising  the Property to be  purchased  by Purchaser  pursuant to the
terms of this Purchase Contract. 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 special warranty deed delivered to Purchaser at Closing,  and the
Survey legal description shall be used in a quitclaim deed to the Property which
also shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing.  Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole
cost and expense,  may also cause to be prepared an environmental report for the
Property ("Environmental Report"). 6.12.1 Should such 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  Title  Review  Period in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 above.  6.12.2 Purchaser
agrees to make  payment in full of all costs of  obtaining  Surveys  required by
this  Purchase  Contract on or before  Closing or  termination  of this Purchase
Contract.
                                    ARTICLE 7
                                     CLOSING
7.1 Dates,  Places Of Closing,  Prorations,  Delinquent  Rent and Closing Costs.
7.1.1 The Closing shall occur no later than  twenty-one (21) calendar days after
the Effective  Date,  through an escrow with Escrow  Agent,  whereby the Seller,
Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically  present at the Closing and
may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. 7.1.2 The Closing
Date may be extended without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later
than ninety (90) days  following the Closing Date  specified  above to satisfy a
condition  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 (as  defined  below),  operating
expenses,  personal property taxes,  other operating expenses and fees, 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  refundable  deposits
under Tenant leases,  if any, shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser at the
Closing and any  non-refundable  deposits  shall be  retained by Seller  without
credit to  Purchaser.  Seller shall pay at Closing any accrued but unpaid tenant
improvement  allowances and leasing commissions under Commercial Leases executed
prior to the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the terms of any separate  leasing or management  agreement,  modification or
extension  thereto,  Purchaser  shall  assume  or  pay  at  Closing  any  tenant
improvement   allowances  and  leasing   commissions   under  Commercial  Leases
(including   modifications  and  extensions  thereto)  approved  in  writing  by
Purchaser and executed after the Effective Date,  together with any payments due
parties to other  agreements  affecting the Property  which  survive  Closing or
under the Property  Contracts  assumed by  Purchaser  and approved in writing 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 proration shall be final and unadjustable except as provided
in the  following  paragraph.  For purposes of this  Section  7.1.3 and Sections
7.1.4 and 7.1.5, the terms "Rent" and "Rents" shall include, without limitation,
base rents,  additional  rents,  percentage  rents and common  area  maintenance
charges.  The  provisions 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 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.  Any Rents that have accrued,  but have not yet been paid shall be
prorated in accordance  with estimates  based upon the prior years'  information
(or  reasonable  estimates  of Seller if no such  prior  years'  information  is
available), and shall be subsequently readjusted and reapportioned upon receipt.
Purchaser shall pay Seller for Rents that have accrued,  but are not yet due and
payable,  at Closing.  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 payment of current
tenant  receivables  due and payable for the month in which the Closing  occurs,
which shall be prorated  between  Purchaser and Seller,  as and when  collected,
(ii)  second,  to payment of tenant  receivables  first  coming due in the month
after  Closing  and each  month  thereafter  and  applicable  to the time  after
Closing, which shall be retained by Purchaser, and (iii) third to any delinquent
rent which  Seller  failed to collect  prior to Closing,  which is  collected by
either  Seller or  Purchaser,  which shall be remitted to Seller.  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 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  (excise  taxes)  and
recording  costs with respect to the Closing.  Seller and Purchaser  shall share
equally  in the costs of the  Escrow  Agent  for  escrow  fees.  7.2 Items To Be
Delivered Prior To Or At Closing.
7.2.1 Seller. At Closing,  Seller shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, each of the
following  items,  as  applicable:  7.2.1.1  Special  Warranty  Deed in the form
attached  as  Exhibit  7.2.1.1  to  Purchaser.  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 7.2.1.2 covering all Property Contracts, Commercial
Leases, 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  7.2.1.3 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 vendor's affidavit or at Seller's option an indemnity,  as applicable,
in the customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller to enable Title Insurer to
delete the standard  exceptions to the title insurance  policy set forth in this
Purchase Contract (other than matters  constituting any Permitted Exceptions and
matters  which  are to be  completed  or  performed  post-Closing)  to be issued
pursuant to the Title Commitment;  provided that such affidavit does not subject
Seller to any greater  liability,  or impose any additional  obligations,  other
than as set forth in this  Purchase  Contract;  and 7.2.1.6 A  certification  of
Seller's  non-foreign  status  pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986,  as  amended.  7.2.1.7 To the  extent in  Seller's  possession  or
control, original copies of the Commercial Leases and Property Contracts,  lease
files, keys to the property,  Seller's books and records (other than proprietary
information)   regarding  the  Property,  and  original  copies  of  the  tenant
estoppels.  7.2.1.8 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.  7.2.2
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  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 7.2.1.2.
7.2.2.4     A  countersigned   counterpart  of  the  Assignment  in  the  form
attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.3.
7.2.2.5 Such other instruments,  documents or certificates as are required to be
delivered by Purchaser to Seller in accordance with any of the other  provisions
of this Purchase Contract.

entity  actions  required  for the  execution  and  delivery  of  this  Purchase
Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase
Contract.  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 purchase  contract to which
Seller is a party or by which Seller is otherwise bound. Seller has not made any
other purchase  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 marketable
and insurable, fee title to the Property,  including all real property contained
therein  required  to be  sold  to  Purchaser,  subject  only  to the  Permitted

hereof and Seller  shall have no other  liability  as a result  thereof,  either
before or after  Closing);  8.1.1.3  There are no  adverse  or other  parties in
possession of the Property,  except for occupants,  guests and tenants under the
Commercial Leases (provided,  however, that if this representation is or becomes
untrue,  Purchaser's  remedies  shall be  limited to the  remedies  set forth in
Section 6.7 hereof).
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 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

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 the best of Seller's  knowledge,  all  commissions  due on Commercial
Leases  or  renewals  of  Commercial  Leases  have  been  paid in full as of the
Effective Date and all tenant  improvements  and other  obligations  due tenants
under the Commercial Leases have been paid in full or otherwise  satisfied as of
the  Effective  Date;  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 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 deeds  conveying  the Property  and the  representations  set forth  above).
Purchaser  represents  and  warrants  that as of the date  hereof  and as of the
Closing  Date, it has and shall have  reviewed and  conducted  such  independent
analyses,   studies,  reports,   investigations  and  inspections  as  it  deems
appropriate in connection with the Property.  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  shall  rely only upon any title  insurance
obtained  by  Purchaser  with  respect  to  title  to  the  Property.  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 Commercial 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, except as provided in Section
8.1.3  below.  8.1.3  Seller and  Purchaser  agree  that  those  representations
contained  in Section  8.1 shall  survive  Closing  for a period of one (1) year
(that is, any proceeding  based on the breach of a  representation  contained in
Section  8.1  that  survives  Closing  must be  commenced  within  one (1)  year
subsequent  to the date of such  representation),  and Seller's  liability  with
respect  thereto shall be limited to the actual  losses of Purchaser,  but in no
event  greater  than  $50,000.00  in the  aggregate.  In the event  that  Seller
breaches any representation contained in Section 8.1 and Purchaser had knowledge
of such breach,  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  Vicki  Webster,   Regional  Property  Manager,   SSR/Metric  Property
Management.  8.2  Representations  And  Warranties  Of  Purchaser  8.2.1 For the
purpose  of  inducing  Seller  to  enter  into  this  Purchase  Contract  and to

Contract,  to execute and  deliver the  documents  and  instruments  required of

any of  Purchaser's  officers or members are required to so empower or authorize
Purchaser.  8.2.2.3 No pending or, to the  knowledge  of  Purchaser,  threatened
litigation exists which if determined  adversely would restrain the consummation

Seller.  8.2.2.4  Purchaser is duly  authorized  to execute and deliver,  acting
through its duly  empowered and authorized  officers and members,  respectively,
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

consummate the  transactions  to be performed by Purchaser and Purchaser has all
necessary  right  and  authority  to  perform  such  acts  as are  required  and
contemplated by this Purchase Contract. 8.2.3 Except as provided in Section 10.1
below,  Purchaser has not dealt with any broker,  finder or any other person, in
connection  with the  purchase  of or the  negotiation  of the  purchase  of the
Property that might give rise to any claim for commission against Seller or lien
or claim against the Property. 8.2.4 Intentionally Omitted.

                         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING
9.1  Purchaser's  obligation  to close under this  Purchase  Contract,  shall be
subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following
conditions precedent:
9.1.1 All of the  documents  required to be  delivered by Seller to Purchaser at

faith efforts to obtain estoppel  certificates  from all Tenants on the Property
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.1.5.  Seller's  failure to deliver such

Contract by Seller  provided  Seller has used  reasonable  good faith efforts to
obtain the  estoppel  certificates.  9.2 Without  limiting  any of the rights of
Seller elsewhere provided for in this Purchase Contract,  Seller's obligation to
close with respect to  conveyance of a particular  Property  under this Purchase

all of the following conditions precedent: 9.2.1 Purchaser's representations and
warranties set forth in this Purchase  Contract shall have been true and correct

illegal,  invalid or  nonbinding  any of the  covenants  or  obligations  of the
Purchaser.   9.2.4  If  applicable,   Purchaser  shall  have  produced  evidence

                                    ARTICLE 10
                                    BROKERAGE
10.1 Seller  represents  and warrants to  Purchaser  that it has dealt only with
Aztec Group  ("Broker") in connection  with this Purchase  Contract.  Seller and
Purchaser  each  represent  and  warrant to the other  that other than  Seller's
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 Seller's
Broker a  commission  according to the terms of a separate  agreement.  Seller's
Broker shall not be deemed a party or third party  beneficiary  of this Purchase
Contract.

Property or representation  for the performance of this Purchase Contract by the
Seller or Purchaser.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                   POSSESSION
11.1  Possession of the Property  subject to the Permitted  Exceptions  shall be
delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, subject to Purchaser's right of entry for
inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
12.1 In the event  Purchaser  terminates  this Purchase  Contract  following the
Title Review Period for any reason other than Seller's inability to convey title
as required by this Purchase Contract,  or 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, 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
terminates  this  Purchase  Contract  or defaults  hereunder  on or prior to the
Closing  Date is and shall be, as  Seller's  sole  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 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  such
liquidated damages to the extent not theretofore paid by Purchaser.
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,  Purchaser's  sole  remedy  shall  be to  elect to
terminate this Purchase Contract and receive reimbursement of the Deposit (or so
much  thereof  as has  been  received  by  Escrow  Agent)  or to  seek  specific
performance of this Purchase Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY
13.1 The risk of loss or damage to the Property by fire or other  casualty until
the deed of conveyance  is recorded is assumed by the Seller,  provided that the
Seller's  responsibility  shall  be  only to the  extent  of any  recovery  from
insurance  now carried on the  Property.  Upon  assignment  to  Purchaser of any
insurance  proceeds in respect of fire or other casualty  occurring  between the
date of  ratification  of this  Purchase  Contract  and the time of  settlement,
Purchaser  shall have no right to terminate  this  Purchase  Contract on account
thereof,  but  Seller  shall  assign to  Purchaser  its  interest  in and to any
insurance  policies and proceeds  thereof  payable as a result of such damage or
destruction.  Seller shall not, in any event, be obligated to effect any repair,
replacement,  and/or  restoration,  but may do so at its  option  in which  case
Seller may apply the insurance proceeds to the costs of restoration.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                                  RATIFICATION
14.1 This  Purchase  Contract  shall be null and void unless  fully  ratified by
Purchaser and Seller on or before March 10, 2003.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1 In the event that at the time of Closing all or a  substantial  part of the
Property is (or has previously  been) acquired,  or is about to be acquired,  by
authority  of any  governmental  agency in purchase  in lieu  thereof (or in the
event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to
acquire by any such  governmental  agency),  Purchaser  shall have the right, at
Purchaser's option, to terminate this Purchase Contract by giving written Notice
within Fifteen (15) days of Purchaser's receipt from Seller of the occurrence of
such event, or to settle in accordance with the terms of this Purchase  Contract
for the full  Purchase  Price and receive the full  benefit or any  condemnation
award.  It is expressly  agreed  between the parties  hereto that this paragraph
shall in no way apply to customary  dedications for public purposes which may be
necessary for the development of the Property.

                                   ARTICLE 16

      If any provision of this Purchase Contract is held to be illegal, invalid,
or  unenforceable  under present or future laws,  such provision  shall be fully
severable.  The Purchase  Contract  shall be  construed  and enforced as if such

having  fully  participated  in  the  negotiation  of  this  instrument.   16.13
Confidentiality

      Purchaser  shall not disclose the terms and  conditions  contained in this
Purchase Contract, shall keep the same confidential, provided that Purchaser may
disclose the terms and  conditions of this Purchase  Contract (i) as required by

relating  thereto,  or (iii) to Purchaser's or Seller's  lenders,  attorneys and
accountants,  Any information provided by Seller to Purchaser under the terms of

information to Purchaser,  Seller makes no representation or warranty,  express,
written,  oral,  statutory,   or  implied,  and  all  such  representations  and
warranties  are hereby  expressly  excluded.  Purchaser  shall not in any way be
entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such information. Such information is also
confidential  and  Purchaser  shall be prohibited  from making such  information
public  to  any  other  person  or  entity  other  than  its  agents  and  legal
representatives,  without  Seller's  prior written  authorization,  which may be
granted or denied in Seller's sole discretion.

16.15 Cumulative Remedies And Waiver

      No remedy herein  conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any
other available  remedy or remedies herein  conferred or referred,  but each and
every such remedy  shall be  cumulative  and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given under this Purchase Contract.  No delay or omission to exercise any
right or power  accruing upon any default,  omission,  or failure of performance
hereunder  shall  impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
thereof,  but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver, amendment, release, or modification
of this Purchase Contract shall be established by conduct,  custom, or course of
dealing. 16.16 Litigation Expenses

      In the event either party hereto commences litigation against the other to

entitled to recover  from the other  party its  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and
expenses incidental to such litigation.
16.17 Time Periods

      Should the last day of a time period  fall on a weekend or legal  holiday,
the next Business Day thereafter shall be considered the end of the time period.
16.18 Exchange

      At Seller's  sole cost and expense,  Seller may  structure the sale of the
Property to  Purchaser  as a Like Kind  Exchange  under  Internal  Revenue  Code
Section  1031  whereby  Seller will  acquire  certain  property  (the "Like Kind
Exchange Property") in conjunction with the sale of the Property (the "Like Kind
Exchange").  Purchaser shall cooperate fully and promptly with Seller's  conduct
of the Like Kind  Exchange,  provided  that all costs and expenses  generated in
connection  with the Like Kind  Exchange  shall be borne  solely by Seller,  and
Purchaser shall not be required to take title to or contract for the purchase of
any other  property.  If Seller uses a qualified  intermediary to effectuate the
exchange,  any assignment of the rights or obligations of Seller hereunder shall
not relieve,  release or absolve Seller of its  obligations to Purchaser.  In no
event shall the Closing Date be delayed by the Like Kind Exchange.  Seller shall
indemnify  and hold  harmless  Purchaser  from and against any and all liability
arising from and out of the Like Kind Exchange.
16.19 No Personal  Liability  of  Officers,  Trustees or directors of Seller's
Partners

      Purchaser  acknowledges  that this  Purchase  Contract is entered  into by
Seller which is a California limited  partnership,  and Purchaser agrees that no
individual  officer,  trustee,  director or  representative  of the  partners of
Seller shall have any personal  liability  under this  Purchase  Contract or any
document  executed in  connection  with the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Purchase Contract.
16.20 No Exclusive Negotiations

      Seller shall have the right,  at all times,  to solicit  backup offers and
enter into discussions,  negotiations, or any other communications concerning or
related to the sale of the Property  with any  third-party;  provided,  however,
that such communications are subject to the terms of this Purchase Contract, and
that  Seller  shall not enter  into any  contract  or binding  agreement  with a
third-party  for the sale of the Property unless such agreement is contingent on
the  termination  of this  Purchase  Contract  without the Property  having been
conveyed to Purchaser.
16.21 Radon

      Radon  is  a  naturally  occurring  radioactive  gas  that,  when  it  has
accumulated in a building in sufficient  qualities,  may present health risks to
persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and
state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information
regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health
unit.

      This  General  Assignment  ("Assignment")  is executed by CENTURY  PENSION

(ii) to the  extent  that the  sale or  transfer  thereof  requires  consent  or
approval  of any third  party,  which  consent or  approval  is not  obtained by
Seller.  Nothing  herein shall create a transfer or assignment  of  intellectual
property or similar assets of Seller. The term  "Miscellaneous  Property Assets"
shall also include the following,  but only to the extent owned by Seller and in
Seller's possession or in the possession of Seller's  Designated  Representative
(as defined in Section 8.1.4 of the Purchase Contract);  environmental  reports,

of any kind, if any. The term "Miscellaneous Property Assets" shall also include
all of Seller's rights, if any, in and to the name "COMMERCE PLAZA OFFICE PARK."

      2.  Assignment.  Seller  hereby  assigns,  sells  and  transfers,  without
recourse or warranty, to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest, if
any,  in and to the  Miscellaneous  Property  Assets,  subject  to any rights of
consent as provided therein.

      3. Assumption. Purchaser expressly agrees to assume and hereby assumes all
liabilities and  obligations of the Seller in connection with the  Miscellaneous
Property  Assets and agrees to perform all of the covenants and  obligations  of
Seller thereunder. Purchaser further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller
harmless from and against any and all cost, loss, harm or damage which may arise
in connection with the Miscellaneous Property Assets, pertaining to acts arising
on and after the date hereof.  Seller  further  agrees to indemnify,  defend and
hold Purchaser  harmless from and against any and all cost, loss, harm or damage
which may arise in connection with the Miscellaneous Property Assets.

      4. Counterparts.  This Assignment may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original,  and both of which together shall  constitute
one and the same instrument.

      5.  Attorneys'  Fees.  If any action or  proceeding is commenced by either
party to enforce its rights under this Assignment,  the prevailing party in such
action or  proceeding  shall be  entitled to recover  all  reasonable  costs and
expenses incurred in such action or proceeding,  including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs, in addition to any other relief awarded by the court.

      6. Applicable Law. This Assignment shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

                                    Exhibit B

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

      THIS ESCROW  AGREEMENT  ("Escrow  Agreement")  made this 6th day of March,
2003 by and among  CENTURY  PENSION  INCOME FUND  XXIII,  a  California  limited
partnership   ("Seller"),   and  THE   CADLE   COMPANY,   an  Ohio   corporation
("Purchaser"); and FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY ("Escrow Agent");

                                   WITNESSETH:

      Whereas  Purchaser  and Seller are parties to a certain  Purchase and Sale
Contract (the  "Purchase  Contract")  made and dated as of the 6th day of March,
2003; and

      Whereas,  the Purchase  Contract requires that Purchaser provide a deposit
in the amount of One Hundred  Thousand and no/100 Dollars  ($100,000.00) in cash
(the  "Deposit"),  to be  held  pursuant  to an  escrow  agreement  approved  by
Purchaser and Seller; and

      Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:

1.  Establishment  of Escrow.  Escrow Agent hereby  acknowledges  receipt of One
Hundred  Thousand and no/100 Dollars  ($100,000.00)  in cash  (constituting  the
Deposit),  to be  deposited,  held,  invested,  and disbursed for the benefit of
Seller and Purchaser and their  respective  successors and assigns,  as provided
herein and as provided in the Purchase Contract.

2. Investment of Escrow Fund. All funds received by Escrow Agent,  including the
Deposit (collectively, the "Escrow Fund"), shall be held in insured accounts and
invested  in such  short-term,  high-grade  securities,  money  market  funds or
accounts,  interest-bearing bank accounts,  bank certificates of deposit or bank
repurchase  agreements  as  Escrow  Agent,  in its  discretion,  deems  suitable
(provided that Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Fund as jointly  directed by
Seller and Purchaser  should Seller and Purchaser each in their  respective sole
discretion  determine to issue such joint investment  instructions to the Escrow
Agent) and all interest and income  thereon shall become part of the Escrow Fund
and shall be remitted to the party  entitled  to the Escrow  Fund,  as set forth
below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. Written  Instructions  of Parties.  Notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision
contained  herein,  Escrow  Agent  shall,  at all  times,  have  full  right and
authority and the duty and obligation to pay over and disburse the principal and
interest of the Escrow Fund in accordance  with the joint  written  instructions
signed by Seller and Purchaser.

Escrow Agreement  ("Notice") shall be given as follows.  All Notices,  requests,
