                                Failure to Close

         3.1  Purchaser's  Default.  If Sellers  have  complied  with all of the
covenants and  conditions  contained  herein and are ready,  willing and able to
convey the Property in accordance  with this  Agreement  and Purchaser  fails to
consummate this Agreement and take title,  then the parties hereto recognize and
agree that the damages that  Sellers  will  sustain as a result  thereof will be
substantial,  but  difficult if not  impossible  to  ascertain.  Therefore,  the
parties agree that, in the event of Purchaser's default, Sellers shall, as their
sole  remedy,  be  entitled  to retain the Deposit as  liquidated  damages,  and
neither party shall have any further rights or  obligations  with respect to the
other under this  Agreement,  except for the  Surviving  Covenants  (hereinafter
defined).

         3.2 Sellers' Default. In the event that Purchaser has complied with all
of the covenants and conditions  contained herein and is ready, willing and able
to take title to the Property in  accordance  with this  Agreement,  and Sellers
fail to convey title to Purchaser in  accordance  with Section 4.2 hereof,  then
the parties  hereto  recognize that the damages that Purchaser will sustain as a
result  thereof  will  be  substantial,  but  difficult  if  not  impossible  to
ascertain.  Therefore,  the parties agree that, in the event of Sellers' failure
to convey title at the Closing in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof,  Purchaser
shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to terminate this Agreement,  recover the

party shall have any further rights



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 4






or obligations  with respect to the other under this  Agreement,  except for the
Surviving Covenants (hereinafter defined).

         3.3  Entire  Property.   Notwithstanding   anything  contained  to  the
contrary, Sellers' obligation to sell and Purchaser's obligation to purchase the
Property  is  contingent  upon the  sale and  purchase  of the  Property  in its
entirety,  and  Seller  shall not be  obligated  to convey  less than all of the
Property,  nor shall  Purchaser be  obligated  to purchase  less than all of the
Property.

Company is not  prepared to insure  title in the  Purchaser,  or if  immediately
available  funds  sufficient to complete the Closing are not on deposit with the
Title  Company by 12:00 noon  (unless  such  failure to close is due to Sellers'
default,  the date for Closing is extended  pursuant  to any  provision  hereof,
including,  without limitation,  the matters described in Article VII hereof, or
the date for Closing is extended by agreement of the  parties,  which  agreement
shall be confirmed in writing).

made by  Sellers  until all  payments  required  of Sellers  as a  condition  to
obtaining  any bulk sales  waivers as are required by law have been made and any
required  bulk sales waivers have been  obtained,  and that any such payments by

     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 7






obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement,  or create additional Closing
obligations on Seller other than are expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  or
give rise to any representations or warranties of Sellers in favor of Purchaser,
or, with the  exception  of broker and  property  manager  lien  waivers and any
certificates or statements required to be obtained by Sellers to comply with any
legal  requirement  which must be satisfied by Sellers as a condition their sale
of the Property, require Sellers to obtain execution thereof by any third party.

         Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are under no obligation
under the terms of this Agreement to clear from title any  easements,  rights of
way,  encumbrances,  liens,  covenants,  restrictions,  or any other  matters of
record except those items  specifically  referenced in clause a(i)(A) and (B) of
the  immediately  preceding  paragraph,  or to cure  any  Survey  objections  of
Purchaser,  or to  create  any  encumbrances  on,  or for the  benefit  of,  the
Property.  If Sellers  fail to remove or cause the Title  Company to insure over
any matter  referenced in clause  (a)(i)(A) or (B) of the immediately  preceding
paragraph,  Purchaser  may  at the  Closing,  as a part  of the  Closing  escrow
instructions, instruct the Title Company to discharge and remove any such matter
and deduct such  amounts  required to effect such  discharge  and removal of all
such  items,  up to a maximum  of  $500,000  for any  matter or item  other than
existing mortgage liens in favor of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and tax liens (other than for taxes which are not yet due and owing) as to which
the  foregoing  $500,000  limit shall not apply,  from the Purchase  Price.  If,
subject only to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence,  Sellers
do not deliver title at Closing in form  satisfactory to Purchaser,  as approved
by Purchaser during the Feasibility  Period, such failure shall not constitute a
breach  of or  default  by  Sellers  hereunder,  and  notwithstanding  any other
provision of this Agreement,  Purchaser's  sole and exclusive  remedies shall be
either  (i) to  terminate  this  Agreement  and  receive a prompt  return of the
Deposit,  in which  case no party  hereto  shall  have any  further  obligations
pursuant to this Agreement except for the Surviving



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 8






Covenants, or (ii) to accept conveyance by Sellers of such title as they deliver
to all, and not less than all, of the Property without reduction of the Purchase
Price.

         4.3 Purchaser's Performance.  At the Closing,  Purchaser will cause the
Purchase  Price to be delivered to the Title  Company in  immediately  available
funds,  will  execute  and  deliver  the  Tenant  Notices,  the  Indemnification
Agreement,  the Assignment of Leases, the Bill of Sale, and such other documents
required of it pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

         4.4 Evidence of Authority;  Miscellaneous.  All parties will deliver to
the Title Company and each other such evidence or documents as may reasonably be
required by the Title  Company or either party hereto  evidencing  the power and
authority of Seller and  Purchaser  and the due  authority of, and execution and
delivery  by, any  person or  persons  who are  executing  any of the  documents
required hereunder in connection with the sale of the Property. All parties will
execute and deliver such other  documents as are  reasonably  required to effect
the intent of this Agreement.

                                   Article V.
                        Prorations of Rents, Taxes, Etc.

         Real estate  taxes for tax years 1995  payable in 1996 and 1996 paybale
in 1997 shall be prorated as of the date of Closing using actual tax figures for
the 1995 tax year, and using as a basis for said proration for the 1996 tax year
the most  recent  assessed  value of the Real Estate  multiplied  by 110% of the
current (1995) tax rate.  Personal property taxes,  annual permit (to the extent
any permits are  transferred  to Purchaser and required for the operation of the
Property) or inspection  fees,  sewer charges and other  expenses  normal to the
operation and  maintenance of the Property shall also be prorated as of the date
of Closing.  Rents that have been collected for the month of the Closing will be
prorated at the Closing, effective as of the date of the



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 9






Closing. With regard to rents that are delinquent as of the date of the Closing,
(i) no proration  will be made at the Closing,  (ii)  Purchaser will make a good
faith  effort  after the  Closing  to collect  the rents in the usual  course of
Purchaser's operation of the Property,  and (iii) Purchaser will apply all rents
collected  first to  collection  costs,  if any, then to current rents and other
charges,  if any, payable under the Leases and due to Purchaser,  and the excess
amount,  if any, shall be applied to the delinquent rent owed to Sellers.  It is
agreed,  however,  that Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit
or other collection  procedures to collect  delinquent rents. Rents collected by
Purchaser  after the  Closing  Date,  to which  Sellers are  entitled,  shall be
promptly paid to Sellers.

         As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit for any
tenant deposits held under the leases.

         Final readings on all gas,  water and electric  meters shall be made as
of the date of closing,  if possible.  If final readings are not possible,  gas,
water and  electricity  charges will be prorated based on the most recent period
for which costs are available and  re-prorated  when actual bills for the period
issue. Any deposits made by Sellers with utility  companies shall be returned to
Sellers.  Purchaser  shall be responsible  for making all  arrangements  for the
continuation of utility services. After the Closing,  Purchaser will assume full
responsibility  for all security deposits and advance rental deposits of current
tenants of the Real  Property  currently  held by  Sellers  and  transferred  to
Purchaser, which items will be itemized by Sellers and transferred and paid over
to Purchaser at the Closing.

         All  proration  items  (excluding  taxes  as to  which  the  prorations
described in the first  paragraph of this Article V are intended to be and shall
be deemed final prorations) that are not subject to an exact determination shall
be estimated by the parties at Closing. When any item so estimated is capable of
exact determination within sixty (60) days after the



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 10






Closing,   the  party  in  possession  of  the  facts   necessary  to  make  the
determination  shall  send  the  other  party a  detailed  report  on the  exact
determination  so made and the parties  shall adjust the prior  estimate  within
thirty (30) days after both parties have received  said  reports.  Any proration
items that are not capable of exact  determination  within sixty (60) days after
the Closing will be settled by the parties either at the Closing or at such time
within  sixty (60) days after the  Closing  as it is  ascertained  that an exact
determination  will not be possible within such sixty (60) day period  following
the Closing.

         Any and all prorations  shall be calculated  separately for each Seller
with respect to that portion of the Property owned by such Seller.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

satisfaction.  Purchaser acknowledges that such inspections,  examinations,  and
reviews included  Purchaser's  physical inspection of the Property in accordance
with Section 6.1(a) below, and its review, examination,  and inspection of those
additional  matters and items  described in Sections 6.1(b) through (i) below to

              Property  for the three (3)  calendar  years  ending  December 31,
              1995, and to provide  reasonable  assistance at  Purchaser's  sole
              cost and expense so as to permit  preparation  of such  audited or
              unaudited financial statements with respect to the Property as are
              required to be prepared by Purchaser by the Rules and  Regulations

              to compliance of the Property with any and all
              applicable laws, rules, ordinances or orders.

         (i)  Such other reviews and inspections as Purchaser deemed  necessary;
              provided,  however,  that  Sellers  were not  required  to provide
              Purchaser  with any  projections  or plans  prepared  by or at its
              direction with respect to the Property.

         Purchaser agrees that if for any reason the Closing is not consummated,
Purchaser will immediately return to Seller all materials furnished to Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 6.1.

         Sellers shall continue to afford Purchaser, its employees,  agents, and
independent  contractors,  access  to  the  Property  pending  the  Closing,  at
reasonable times upon reasonable oral or written notice to Sellers' property



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 13






manager,  for  Purchaser's   convenience  only,  and  not  for  the  purpose  of
Purchaser's  conducting any additional  feasibility  inspections.  Sellers shall
have the right to designate a representative of Sellers to accompany  Purchaser,
or its employees,  agents, and independent contractors on any Property visits or
inspections.

         Purchaser  acknowledges  and agrees that Sellers'  having  delivered or
made available any information or documentation pursuant to this Article VI with
respect to the Property  constitutes a good faith undertaking only, and does not
constitute  a  representation  or warranty on the part of Sellers or any of them
with respect to any such information or documentation,  Sellers' representations
and warranties  being only as are expressly set forth in Article X, Section 10.2
of this Agreement.

         6.2 Purchaser's  Indemnity.  Purchaser  hereby agrees to pay,  protect,
defend,  indemnify  and save  Sellers  and  each of them  harmless  against  all
liabilities,  obligations,  claims (including mechanic's lien claims),  damages,
penalties,  causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including,  without
limitation,  attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against  Sellers or any of them and either  involving  bodily injury or property
damage in connection  with or arising out of the entry upon the Real Property by
Purchaser's employees, agents or independent contractors and the actions of such
persons on the Real  Property.  In the event any part of the Property is damaged
or excavated by Purchaser,  its employees,  agents or  independent  contractors,
Purchaser agrees in the event its purchase hereunder is not consummated, to make
such additional  payments to Sellers as may be reasonably required to return the
Property to its condition  immediately prior to such damage or excavation or, at
Sellers' option, to cause such work to be done. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary  herein,  Purchaser's  obligations  under this  subparagraph  shall
survive the  expiration  or  termination  of this  Agreement,  and shall survive
Closing,  but in any event only with  respect to claims or alleged  claims as to
which written



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 14






notice has been provided to Purchaser prior to the end of one year following the
Closing or the termination of this Agreement without Closing, as applicable.

         6.3.  Feasibility Period.  Purchaser acknowledges that it was
afforded a period ending April 11, 1996 to conduct its inspection of the
Property and those documents and materials delivered or made available to it
by Sellers in accordance with Section 6.1 (the "Feasibility Period").
Purchaser has approved all such inspections.

         6.4.  Survey  Contingency.   Purchaser's  obligation  to  purchase  the
Property is subject to Purchaser's obtaining,  at Sellers' cost and expense, and
Purchaser's  approving,  in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the
next succeeding paragraph of this Section 6.4, ALTA surveys of the Real Property
by a registered  surveyor certified to Sellers,  Purchaser,  its Lender, and the
Title  Company in  accordance  with the  requirements  set forth in that certain
contract, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J (the "Survey(s)"). The
Survey(s) shall show the location of all  improvements,  structures,  driveways,
parking areas, easements, rights of way, and any encroachments and shall specify
whether  the  Property  is within  the 100 year flood  plain or flood  way.  The
Survey(s)  shall further set forth a legal  description of the boundaries of the
Real Property in accordance with local practices and shall otherwise be prepared
in  accordance  with the terms of the contract  attached  hereto as Exhibit J. A
failure of the Purchaser to obtain a survey  meeting all the above  requirements
shall,  at the option of the  Purchaser,  constitute a failure of a condition of
Closing only,  and not a breach or a default by Sellers  hereunder,  and in such
event  Purchaser's  sole remedy shall be to terminate this  Agreement,  in which
case the  Sellers  shall  instruct  the Title  Company to return the  Deposit to
Purchaser,  and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except
for the Surviving Covenants.




     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 15






         Purchaser  shall  have  until  the  later of (i)  five  (5) days  after
delivery to it of the  Survey(s)  meeting the  requirements  of the  immediately
preceding  paragraph of this Section 6.4 to object in writing to the  Survey(s),
including any objection to the  boundaries set forth in the Survey(s) and to the
legal  description.  This  contingency  shall be deemed  satisfied  or waived if
Sellers have not received  written notice of Purchaser's  objection  before such
date.  Any such written notice shall state all of  Purchaser's  objections  with
specificity.  Upon  receipt  of such  notice,  Sellers  may,  but  shall  not be
obligated  to, cure such  objections.  If Sellers  cure such  objections  within
fifteen  (15) days,  or, if such  objections  are such that they cannot be cured
within fifteen (15) days and Sellers have commenced  curing such  objections and
thereafter  diligently  proceeds  to perfect  such cure (but in no event  beyond
forty-five  (45) days unless agreed to by Purchaser),  then this Agreement shall
continue  in full force and  effect,  and the  Closing  Date  shall be  adjusted
accordingly  up to a maximum of 45 days. If Sellers are unable to, or choose not
to,  cure such  objections  within  the time  permitted,  this  Agreement  shall
terminate,  Sellers  shall  instruct the Title  Company to return the Deposit to
Purchaser,  and none of the parties shall have any further obligations hereunder
except for the Surviving  Covenants.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  however,
Purchaser may waive such  objections that Sellers are unable to or choose not to
cure, and upon receipt by Sellers of such waiver in full from  Purchaser  within
ten (10) days of notice  from  Sellers  that they are unable to or choose not to
cure such objections,  this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with
no reduction in the Purchase Price.

         6.5.   Title Contingency.  Purchaser's obligation to purchase
the Property is subject to its obtaining, at Purchaser's cost and expense,
subject to the credit if and when the Closing occurs described in Article XIV
hereof, at or prior to the end of the Feasibility Period, a commitment for an
Owner's Title Insurance Policy (the "Title Commitment"), issued by the Title
Company, together with legible copies of all items and documents referred to
in the Title Commitment.  The Title Commitment will commit the Title Company



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 16






to issue the Owner's  Title  Policy to Purchaser at the Closing in the amount of
the Purchase  Price.  Purchaser shall have until five (5) days after delivery to
it of the Survey(s)  obtained  pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.4 to
state any  objections  in  writing  to the Title  Commitment  and/or  any of the
accompanying documents.  This contingency shall be deemed satisfied or waived if
such written  notice of objection is not received by Sellers within such period.
Such written notice of objection shall state all of Purchaser's  objections with
reasonable specificity.  Upon receipt of such notice, Sellers may, but except to
the extent  Sellers are  required to cure such  objection(s)  in order to comply
with the  requirements of Section  4.2(a)(i)(A) or (B) of this Agreement,  shall
not be obligated  to cure any such  objections.  If Sellers cure any  objections
within  fifteen (15) days,  or, if such  objections are such that they cannot be
cured within fifteen (15) days and Sellers have commenced curing such objections
and  thereafter  diligently  proceeds to perfect such cure,  then this Agreement
shall  continue in full force and effect and the Closing  Date shall be adjusted
accordingly  up to a maximum of 45 days.  If Sellers are unable or choose not to
cure any such  objections  within the time  permitted and they are not otherwise
obligated to do so pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(i)(A) or (B) of this Agreement, or
if  between  the  date of the  Title  Commitment  and the  Closing  any  further
encumbrances  or other matters  appear of record which Sellers are not obligated
to  remove  or  cure in  order  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  Section
4.2(a)(i)(A)  or (B) of this  Agreement  and Sellers elect not to cure or remove
such  encumbrances or other matters,  then this Agreement shall  terminate,  and
Sellers shall instruct the Title Company to return the Deposit to Purchaser, and
neither  party  shall  have any  further  obligations  hereunder  except for the
Surviving Covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may waive
such  objections  that  Sellers  are unable or choose not to cure within 10 days
after  receipt of a notice  that  Sellers  are unable or choose not to cure such
objections,  and upon receipt by Sellers of such waiver in full from  Purchaser,
this  Agreement  shall  remain in full force and effect with no reduction in the
Purchase Price.

         If requested by Sellers, Purchaser will confirm in writing whether this
title  contingency  has  been  satisfied  and,  if so,  the date on which it was
satisfied.

                                  Article VII.
                      Loss due to Casualty or Condemnation

         7.1 Loss due to Condemnation.  In the event of a condemnation of all or
a Substantial  Portion of the Real Property  which  condemnation  shall or would
render a  Substantial  Portion  of the  Real  Property  untenantable,  or if any
portion of any  building or parking  area or  recreational  facility,  or if any
current  means of ingress  or egress is taken,  or if such  taking  results in a
Property  becoming  a  non-conforming   use  under  applicable  zoning  laws  or
ordinances, or if such a taking is threatened,  contemplated,  or has commenced,
either party may, upon written notice to the other party given within 10 days of
receipt of notice of such event,  cancel this Agreement,  in which event Sellers
shall  instruct  the Title  Company to return the  Deposit  to  Purchaser,  this
Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any rights or obligations
hereunder  except for the Surviving  Covenants.  In the event that neither party
elects to  terminate,  or if the  condemnation  affects less than a  Substantial
Portion or does not affect the  buildings  or  parking  areas,  or  recreational
facility,  or if current means of ingress or egress is taken,  of if such taking
results in a Property becoming a non-conforming use under applicable zoning laws
or ordinances,  then this Agreement  shall remain in full force and effect,  and
Sellers shall be entitled to all monies  received or collected by reason of such
condemnation   prior  to  closing.   In  such  event,  the  transaction   hereby
contemplated  shall close in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions of this
Agreement  except that there will be an abatement of the Purchase Price equal to
the amount of the net proceeds,  which are received by Sellers by reason of such
condemnation  prior to Closing.  If the  condemnation  proceeding shall not have
been  concluded  prior to the  Closing,  then there shall be no abatement of the
Purchase Price



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 18






and Seller shall assign any interest it has in the pending  award to  Purchaser.
For  purposes  of  this  Section  7.1,  a  Substantial   Portion  shall  mean  a
condemnation of in excess of $1,000,000 in value of the Real Property.

         7.2 Loss due to Casualty. In the event of Substantial Loss or Damage to
the  Real  Property  by fire or  other  casualty  (not  resulting  from  acts of
Purchaser),  either  party may,  upon  written  notice to the other  party given
within 10 days of receipt of notice of such  event,  cancel  this  Agreement  in
which event  Seller shall  instruct  the Title  Company to return the Deposit to
Purchaser and this  Agreement  shall  terminate and neither party shall have any
rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. In the event
that neither party elects to terminate,  or if the casualty results in less than
Substantial  Loss or Damage,  then this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and  Sellers  shall be  entitled to all  insurance  proceeds  received or
collected by reason of such damage or loss,  whereupon  the  transaction  hereby
contemplated  shall close in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions of this
Agreement  except that there will be an abatement of the Purchase Price equal to
the amount of the net proceeds received by Sellers as a result of such damage or
loss,  plus all  deductible  amounts  under any  applicable  casualty  insurance
coverage of Sellers, provided that such abatement will be reduced by any amounts
expended  by  Sellers  in  accordance  with  Article  VIII  for  restoration  or
preservation  of the Property  following  the casualty if and to the extent that
any  remaining  net proceeds  plus  deductibles  are  sufficient to complete the
repair or restoration.  For purposes of this Section 7.2,  "Substantial  Loss or
Damage"  shall  mean  loss or  damage,  the cost  for  repair  of which  exceeds
$1,000,000.

                                  Article VIII.
                           Maintenance of the Property

         Between the time of execution of this  Agreement and the earlier of the
Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, Sellers shall use their



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 19






best  efforts to  maintain  the  Property  in at least as good  repair as of the
Effective Date of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted; except that
in the event of a fire or other casualty,  damage or loss, Sellers shall have no
duty to repair  said  damage.  However,  Sellers may repair any such damage with
Purchaser's prior written approval and may, without Purchaser's approval, repair
damage where such repair is necessary in Sellers' reasonable opinion to preserve
and protect the health and safety of tenants of the  Property or to preserve the
Property  from  imminent  risk of  further  damage  or if  required  to do so by
Sellers'  insurance  carrier.  Any such  emergency  repairs shall be reported to
Purchaser within 48 hours of their commencement.  During the period prior to the
Closing and after the Effective Date of this  Agreement,  Seller shall not lease
any portion of the Real Property except in the ordinary course of business.  Any
and all such leases shall be on Seller's standard form of lease for the Property
except  for  non-material  deviations,  and for  lease  terms of not less than 6
months  nor  greater  than 12 months  at  current  market  rentals  for  similar
apartment projects in the market, and without any concessions or discounts which
exceed those then  prevalent in the market.  With respect to any leases  entered
into between the Effective  Date and the Closing Date,  Purchaser  shall pay the
unamortized  cost (based on the number of months in the entire term of the lease
for which rent is paid and the number of such months that shall have occurred as
of the date of the  Closing) of all leasing  commissions  and locator  fees with
respect thereto.

         As part of Sellers'  obligations  to  maintain  the  Property  prior to
Closing,  all apartment units which are vacant one (1) week or more prior to the
date of Closing shall be made rent-ready for new tenant  occupancy in accordance
with Sellers  standard  practices,  including the  replacement  of carpeting and
appliances  where,  in the normal  course of Sellers'  operation of the Property
prior to the Effective Date, such carpeting  and/or  appliances  would have been
replaced prior to a new tenant taking occupancy.

                                   Article IX.
                                     Broker

         Purchaser and Sellers represent to each other that they have dealt with
no agent or broker who in any way has  participated  as a procuring cause of the
sale of the  Property,  except CB Commercial  Real Estate Group ("CB").  Sellers
shall pay all broker's fees of CB at Closing,  and CB shall be  responsible  for
paying any applicable  co-broker under terms of any separate  agreement  between
them.  Purchaser  and Sellers each agree to defend,  indemnify and hold harmless
the other from any and all judgments,  costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other
reasonable  expenses  which the other may incur by reason of any action or claim
against the other by any  broker,  agent,  or finder with whom the  indemnifying
party has dealt  arising out of this  Agreement  or any  subsequent  sale of the
Property to Purchaser, except for the above-described  commissions,  which shall
be paid by Sellers.  The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the Closing
and any termination of this Agreement.

                                   Article X.
                         Representations and Warranties

         10.1 Limitations on  Representations  and Warranties.  Purchaser hereby
agrees and acknowledges that, except as set forth in Article IX, in Section 10.2
of this Article X, and, in the event the Closing occurs, in the Special Warranty
Deeds  delivered  by Sellers to Purchaser  at Closing,  neither  Sellers nor any
agent,   attorney,   employee  or   representative   of  Sellers  has  made  any
representation whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this sale, or any part
thereof,   including   (without   limiting  the  generality  of  the  foregoing)
representations  as to the  physical  nature or condition of the Property or the
capabilities  thereof,  and that  Purchaser,  in  executing,  delivering  and/or
performing this Agreement,  does not rely upon any statement and/or  information
to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly,  orally or in writing, by any
individual, firm or corporation. Purchaser agrees to



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 21






take the Real Property and the Personal Property "as is," as of the date hereof,
reasonable wear and tear, and minor damage caused by the removal of any personal
property or fixtures  not included in this sale,  excepted.  SELLERS AND EACH OF
THEM MAKE NO  REPRESENTATIONS  OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE
PROPERTY OR THE  SUITABILITY  THEREOF FOR ANY  PURPOSE FOR WHICH  PURCHASER  MAY
DESIRE  TO USE IT.  SELLERS  AND EACH OF THEM,  HEREBY  EXPRESSLY  DISCLAIM  ANY
WARRANTIES OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  PURPOSE AND ANY
OTHER  WARRANTIES  OR  REPRESENTATIONS  AS TO  THE  PHYSICAL  CONDITION  OF  THE
PROPERTY. PURCHASER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE DEED, AGREES THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE
PROPERTY AND ACCEPTS SAME "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS".

         10.2   Representations  and  Warranties  of  Sellers.   Sellers,   each
individually  and severally,  and each solely with respect to the portion of the
Property  owned by it and to be  conveyed  by it to  Purchaser  pursuant to this
Agreement,  make the following  representations  and warranties,  and agree that
Purchaser's  obligations under this Agreement are conditioned upon the truth and
accuracy of such representations and warranties,  both as of this date and/or as
of the date of the Closing, as applicable:

         (a) Each Seller has (i) been duly organized and is validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization  and, if
different,  is  qualified  to do business  and in good  standing in the State of
Illinois,  and (ii) has all requisite  partnership power and authority under the
terms of its  partnership  agreement to enter into this Agreement and convey the
Property  owned by it and covered by this  Agreement to  Purchaser.  The persons
signing this  Agreement on behalf of each of the Sellers are authorized to do so
and have  properly  executed the same.  On the date of the Closing,  each Seller
will  represent  that this Agreement and all of the documents to be executed and
delivered  by each  Seller at  Closing  in  accordance  herewith  have been duly
authorized and properly executed by Sellers.



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 22






         (b) The  execution of and  performance  by Sellers of their  respective
obligations under this Agreement, do not and will not conflict with the terms of
Sellers' partnership  agreements.  There is no agreement to which any of Sellers
is a party, or, to each Seller's  knowledge,  which is binding upon such Seller,
which prohibits such Seller's execution of or performance under this Agreement.

         (c) Exhibit I attached hereto lists all service,  maintenance,  supply,
and  management  contracts  (collectively,  "Service  Contracts")  affecting the
Property.  No  portion of the  Property  is leased to  Sellers,  or any of them,
except as set forth in Exhibit B.

         (d) Sellers have received no notice of any existing, pending, or to the
best of their  knowledge  threatened  litigation,  administrative  proceeding or
condemnation  or  sale in lieu  thereof,  with  respect  to any  portion  of the
Property owned by each Seller, or which challenges or impairs each such Seller's
ability to execute,  deliver or perform its  respective  obligations  under this
Agreement  except as noted on  Exhibit H  attached  hereto  with  respect to the
Property owned by such Seller.

         (e) Except for those  tenants and  licensees in  possession of the Real
Property  under  written  leases  or  license  agreements  for space in the Real
Property  as shown in the Rent  Roll(s)  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit B and the
updated  Rent Roll(s)  which shall be delivered at Closing,  there are no leases
otherwise  affecting  the  Real  Property,  and to the  best  of  each  Seller's
knowledge  there  are no  other  parties  in  possession  of,  or  claiming  any
possession to, any portion of the Real Property owned by such Seller as lessees,
tenants at sufferance, licensees, trespassers or otherwise.

         (f) The Rent Roll(s)  attached hereto as Exhibit B are, and the updated
Rent Roll(s) which shall be delivered at the Closing for each  Seller's  portion
of the Real Property will be, true, correct and complete as



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 23






of the date set forth thereon;  no tenant is or will be entitled to any rebates,
rent concessions,  or free rent (other than as reflected in said Rent Rolls) and
no rents  due under any of the  tenant  or other  leases  have or will have been
assigned,  hypothecated,  or  encumbered  by Sellers or any of them to any party
except pursuant to documents to be released at Closing.  In addition,  there are
no claims against security deposits,  tenant options to renew leases, or prepaid
rents  except as shown on the Rent Rolls or  otherwise  disclosed  in writing to
Purchaser.

         (g) There are no attachments or executions affecting the portion of the
Property  owned by each Seller,  or any general  assignments  for the benefit of
creditors, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, pending or, to
the best of each Seller's knowledge, threatened against such Seller.

         (h) During the period of each Seller's  ownership of the portion of the
Property  owned  by it,  such  Seller  has not  itself,  and to the best of such
Seller's knowledge,  no prior owner or current or prior tenant or other occupant
of all or any part of the  Property  owned by such Seller at any time has,  used
Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) on, from, or affecting the Property in
any manner that violates federal,  state, or local laws,  ordinances,  rules, or
regulations governing the use, storage, treatment,  transportation,  generation,
or disposal of Hazardous  Materials  (collectively,  the "Environmental  Laws").
"Hazardous   Materials"  shall  mean  any  flammable   substances,   explosives,
radioactive   materials,   hazardous  wastes,   toxic  substances,   pollutants,
pollution, or related materials regulated under any of the Environmental Laws.

         (i)  Sellers have not received written notice:

              1.  from any federal, state, county or municipal authority
alleging any current fire, health, safety, building, pollution, environmental,



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 24






zoning or other  violation of any  ordinance,  code,  or law with respect to the
Property  or any part of the  Property  which  has not been  made  available  to
Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement;

              2. from the  appropriate  governmental  authority  concerning  any
condemnation  or  anticipated  condemnation  of  any  part  of the  Property  or
concerning any special taxes or  assessments,  fees or charges,  levied or to be
levied  against  the  Property  or any part  thereof  which  has not  been  made
available to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement;

              3. from any insurance  company of any defects or  inadequacies  in
the Property or any part thereof,  which would adversely affect the insurability
of the same or  cause  the  imposition  of  extraordinary  premiums  or  charges
therefor, or the termination or threatened termination of any policy of casualty
or liability  insurance carried by Seller with respect to the Property which has
not been made available to Purchaser  pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement;
or

              4. from any appropriate government authority concerning any
change in the zoning classification of the Property or any part thereof which
has not been made available to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1 of this
Agreement.

         Sellers  or any  Seller's  inability  to  make  any  of  the  foregoing
representations  and warranties as of the date of the Closing as a result of any
change in  circumstances  between the Effective  Date of this  Agreement and the
date of the Closing, including,  without limitation, any Seller's becoming aware
of or acquiring knowledge of any additional facts, circumstances, or conditions,
such that it is unable to make or re-affirm any of the foregoing representations
and  warranties  as of the date of  Closing  shall  constitute  a  failure  of a
condition  of  Closing  only,  shall not  constitute  a default  by or breach by
Sellers or any of them pursuant to this Agreement and shall give



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 25






rise to no right of Purchaser  other than its right to terminate  this Agreement
as a result of failure of a condition of Closing.

         10.3  Seller's  Knowledge.  Whenever  the term "to the best of Seller's
knowledge" is used in this  Agreement or in any  representations  and warranties
given to Purchaser at Closing,  such knowledge shall be the actual  knowledge of
Linda L. Morel (the "Key  Personnel"),  the asset  manager  assigned to the Real
Property by CIGNA Investments,  Inc., authorized agent for Sellers, after review
of the  files of CIGNA  Investments,  Inc.  and  inquiry  of  Sellers'  property
manager(s)  after Sellers have  delivered to such property  manager(s) a copy of
Section  10.2 of this  Agreement.  Sellers  shall  have no duty to  conduct  any
further  inquiry  in making  any such  representations  and  warranties,  and no
knowledge of any other person shall be imputed to the Key Personnel.

         10.4 Survival.  All representations and warranties contained in Section
10.2 will survive the Closing of this  transaction (but only as to the status of
facts as they exist as of the Closing, it being understood that Sellers and each
of them make no  representations  or warranties  which would apply to changes or
other matters  occurring  after the  Closing),  but shall expire on the date one
year  from  the date of  Closing,  and no  action  on such  representations  and
warranties may be commenced after such expiration.

         10.5 Seller's  Liability.  The liability of each Seller  hereunder with
respect to any of the foregoing  representations  and  warranties  and otherwise
under this  Agreement  shall be  limited  to the  assets of such  Seller and its
general  partner only,  and no limited  partner or any partner,  or owner of any
interest of any limited partner,  of any Seller shall have any liability arising
under this  Article X or under any other  provision of this  Agreement.  Without
limiting  any  of the  foregoing,  and  without  limiting  Purchaser's  remedies
hereunder,  each of the Sellers  agrees to retain  $50,000 of its portion of the
Purchase  Price paid to it at Closing for a period of sixty (60) days  following
the Closing, or if any claim or claims are properly



     K:\RE\AJP\STEWGLEN\P&SAGMT.009 (4-24-96) Page 26






made against such Seller by Purchaser  within sixty (60) days after the Closing,
until such claims have been finally adjudicated.

                                   Article XI.
                              Liability of Sellers

         Except as otherwise  specifically  provided in this Agreement,  neither
Sellers nor any independent property managers which Sellers have hired to manage
the Property shall, by entering into this Agreement, become liable for any costs
or expenses incurred by Purchaser  subsequent to the date of Closing,  including
(a) for any labor performed on, or materials  furnished to, the Real Property on
or after the Closing Date, or (b) for any leasing  commissions  or other fees or
commissions due for renewals or extensions of existing  leases or otherwise,  or
(c) for compliance  with any laws,  requirements  or  regulations  of, or taxes,
assessments or other charges  thereafter due to any governmental  authority,  or
(d) for any other charges or expenses  whatsoever  pertaining to the Property or
to the ownership,  title, possession, use, or occupancy of the Property, whether
or not such  costs  and  expenses  were  incurred  pursuant  to  obligations  of
Purchaser  under this Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  any costs of
compliance  with   presently-existing   and  future   environmental   laws,  any
environmental  remediation  costs,  and any costs of, or awards of damages  for,
damage to the  environment,  to natural  resources,  or to any third party),  it
being the intent of this Agreement,  as between Purchaser and Sellers,  to shift
all such  liability to Purchaser,  except for any liability of Sellers or any of
them under the provisions of Article X hereof. The provisions of this Article XI
shall  survive  Closing.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no provision of this
Article  XI shall  be  construed  as an  indemnity  by  Purchaser  of  Sellers's
liabilities to third parties that have accrued prior to the Closing.

                                  Article XII.
                                   Assignment

         This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Purchaser  without
prior  written  consent of  Sellers,  provided  that  Purchaser  may assign this
Agreement to an entity in which it has a general partnership interest, or in the
case of a  limited  liability  company,  in which it is a  managing  member.  No
assignment  shall  relieve  Purchaser  of  any  of its  obligations  under  this
Agreement.
