                                  DECLARATIONS

       1.   Description of Property.
            ----------------------- 

       The property to be purchased by Purchaser from Seller is that certain
  real property located at 12515 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California, as
  more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated
  herein by this reference, hereinafter referred to as the "Property".

       2.   Purchase Price.
            -------------- 

       The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Property shall be Five
  Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00), which purchase price shall
  be payable in cash or other immediately available funds.

       3.   Payment of Purchase Price.
            ------------------------- 

       The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller as follows:

            (a) Deposit. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement,
                -------                                                  
  Purchaser shall pay the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
  ($150,000.00) to Seller outside of escrow, hereinafter referred to as the
  "Deposit".  The Deposit shall be invested in an interest-bearing account with
  any interest accruing thereon to be credited toward the Purchase Price.
  Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with the payment of the Deposit, however,
  Escrow Holder shall credit the Deposit against the Purchase Price at the close
  of escrow.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subject escrow does not
  close, the Deposit shall be subject to the liquidated damages provisions of
  Paragraph 12 of this Agreement.

            (b) Final Deposit to Escrow.  On or before the close of escrow,
                -----------------------                                    
  Purchaser shall deposit in escrow the entire remaining balance of the Purchase
  Price, plus all amounts due by Purchaser as closing costs pursuant to
  Paragraph 6, and as otherwise required of Purchaser to close this transaction
  made the subject of this Agreement.


 
       4.   Escrow.
            ------ 

       The transaction made the subject of this Agreement shall be consummated
  through an escrow at Stewart Title, 505 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 1200,
  Glendale, California  91203, which shall act as "Escrow Holder".  Within three
  (3) days after the date of execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and
  Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall each deliver one (1) duly executed
  counterpart of this Agreement to Escrow Holder with instructions that Escrow
  Holder shall open the subject escrow.  Escrow shall be deemed to be opened on
  that date on which Escrow Holder first holds a fully-executed copy (or
  counterparts) of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall constitute escrow
  instructions for Escrow Holder.  Escrow Holder may, but shall not be obligated
  to, prepare such additional or supplemental instructions as it deems
  appropriate, including, but not limited to, provisions for its own benefit and
  protection, and which Purchaser and Seller shall be obligated to execute, but
  in no event shall any such instructions contradict or amend the terms of this
  Agreement which shall govern and prevail.  The close of escrow shall mean the
  date when the grant deed is recorded conveying the Property from Seller to
  Purchaser as provided herein, and the close of escrow shall occur thirty (30)
  days from the date hereof, or earlier, upon the mutual written agreement of
  Purchaser and Seller (hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date").

       5.   Title to Property.
            ----------------- 

            (a) Title.  Purchaser shall have the right to approve the status of
                -----                                                          
  title to the Property.  Escrow Holder shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser
  and Seller, at Seller's expense, a preliminary title report, (hereinafter
  referred to as the "Preliminary Title Report"), dated not earlier than the
  opening of escrow, from Stewart Title, (hereinafter referred to as the "Title
  Company"), describing the Property, together with full copies of all documents
  referred to in such Preliminary Title Report.  Within ten (10) business days
  following receipt of the Preliminary Title Report, including copies of all
  documents referred to therein, Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller
  (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice of Defect") specifying the matters
  shown therein, if any, which are reasonably disapproved by Purchaser (each
  such matter referred to herein as a "Disapproved Exception").  The failure of
  Purchaser to give written notice of approval or disapproval of the Preliminary
  Title Report or of any matter or matters shown therein within the ten (10) day
  period of time provided therefore shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser's
  approval of the Preliminary Title Report and of each of the matters shown
  therein.  If any Disapproved Exception cannot be cured prior to the close of
  escrow, Purchaser shall have the election of (i) terminating the escrow or
  (ii) accepting the Property subject to any such matter(s).   If Purchaser so
  elects to terminate the escrow, this Agreement shall be considered null and
  void and Purchaser's Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, without offset

                                       2


 
  or deduction, except that Purchaser shall pay the cancellation charges
  required to be paid to the Escrow Holder and Title Company and such amount may
  be deducted from the Deposit.  A Disapproved Exception specified in the Notice
  of Defect shall be considered to have been cured if such defect shall be
  removed from the record of the title of the Property or the Title Company
  shall agree to issue its title insurance policy without the matter being
  reflected as an exception therein.

            (b) Title Policy.  The Title Company must commit to issue, at the
                ------------                                                 
  close of escrow, an ALTA policy of title insurance insuring fee ownership of
  the Property in the name of Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price,
  without deletions or exceptions other than current and non-delinquent taxes
  and assessments, and those other items which have been approved or deemed
  approved by Purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5
  (although it is understood that the title insurance policy will be delivered
  after the close of escrow.)

       13.  Tax Deferred Exchange.
            --------------------- 

       Purchaser shall accommodate Seller in a tax-deferred IRC Section 1031
  exchange, provided that said exchange is at no cost (and no liability) to
  Purchaser.

       Instead of the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall
  have the right (a) to locate one or more parcels of other real property for
  the purpose of effecting a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the
  Internal Revenue Code of the Property, and (b) to arrange for the terms of the
  acquisition of such other real property from the owner(s) thereof.

                                       7

 
       If Seller does locate such other real property or enters into an exchange
  agreement with the owner(s) thereof or other third parties and notifies
  Purchaser in writing of the same, then, at Seller's option:

            (a)  Purchaser shall enter into one or more written contracts with
  the owner(s) of such other real property to purchase the same and to transfer
  the ownership thereof to Seller in consideration of, and concurrent with, the
  transfer of the Property to Purchaser; or

            (b)  Purchaser shall enter into one or more exchange agreements with
  the owner(s) of such other real property or other third parties and, on the
  acquisition of that other real property, or as otherwise therein provided,
  those parties shall transfer the ownership of the Property to Purchaser in
  accordance with the terms and provisions of sale set forth in this Agreement.
  Purchaser agrees to accept title to the Property from such owner(s) or other
  third parties.

       In no event shall Purchaser be required to make a total payment for the
  exchange property, including all costs and expenses of Purchaser with respect
  thereto, in excess of the payment that would otherwise have been made by
  Purchaser hereunder had Purchaser completed the purchase of the Property from
  Seller without participating in an exchange.

       Purchaser shall make a good faith diligent effort to acquire the exchange
  property (the "Exchange Property") when Seller has located it and negotiated
  its purchase and prepared all necessary documents, or to accept title to the
  Property from the owner(s) of the exchange real property or other third
  party(ies).

       Seller shall be required to sell the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser
  shall be required to purchase the Property from Seller for the price and upon
  the terms set forth in this Agreement only if Seller is unable to locate
  exchange property and Purchaser is unable to acquire it, or Seller is unable
  to make arrangements for title to the Property to be transferred to Purchaser
  through a third party, within the time period provided for in this Agreement
  for the Close of Escrow as set forth above.  If through no fault or lack of
  performance by Purchaser the intended exchange is not completed on or before
  the final close of escrow otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller
  agrees to transfer title to the Property to Purchaser on that date under the
  terms and provisions of sale otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

       Purchaser shall execute such instruments and documents and take such
  actions as may be deemed reasonably necessary to effect the exchange
  transactions contemplated hereby.  In the event of an exchange being made
  instead of a purchase, Purchaser shall pay to Seller a sum equal to the
  difference,  if any, between the total

                                       8

 
  payment that would otherwise be made to Seller for a purchase hereunder and
  the total payment made to the owner(s) or third party(ies), including all of
  Purchaser's costs, including, but not limited to, costs of escrow, title
  insurance premiums, documentary transfer taxes, prorations and real estate
  brokerage commissions, spent to acquire the other exchange properties, all of
  which payments shall be approved by Seller before Purchaser enters into any
  agreement or agreements of purchase with the owner(s) of the exchange
  properties or any third party(ies).  Seller shall prepare all documents
  necessary for said exchange.

       Seller agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all
  liability, damages or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may
  arise from Purchaser's participation in the exchange.  Without limiting the
  generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
  protect Purchaser, and to hold Purchaser harmless, from and against, all
  claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses,
  including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
  (collectively, "Claims"), incurred or suffered at any time by Purchaser
  relating to or in any way connected with the Exchange Property, including, but
  not limited to, (a) the presence on the Exchange Property of any substance,
  materials or products which may be an environmental hazard or may be
  determined to be a hazardous waste or substance, including, but not limited
  to, asbestos, petroleum, polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable explosives,
  radioactive materials, formaldehyde, radon gas, lead-based paint, or any
  material containing or constituting the foregoing; and (b) any past, present
  or future violation(s) of  Environmental Laws (as defined in Paragraph 8) in
  connection with the Exchange Property.  The indemnification pursuant to this
  Section 13 shall be continuing and shall survive the close of escrow.

  Inc., and Purchaser, as successor-in-interest to Studio City Bank.  If escrow
