5.   CONDITION OF TITLE.

     5.1.  If, prior to "Closing" (as hereinafter defined), a date-down to the

Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the date-down to the Title

bond over, cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate,
do not exceed $25,000.00, removed from the Title Commitment or to have the
Title Insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by
such Unpermitted Exceptions, or (ii) have the right, but not the obligation, to
bond over, cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate,
equal or exceed $25,000.00, removed from the Title Commitment or to have the
Title Insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by
such Unpermitted Exceptions.  In such event, the time of Closing shall be
delayed, if necessary, to give effect to said aforementioned time periods.  If
Seller fails to cure or have said Unpermitted Exception removed or have the
Title Insurer commit to insure as specified above within said thirty (30) day
period or if Seller elects not to exercise its rights under  (ii)  in the first
sentence of this Paragraph 5.1, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon
notice to Seller within five (5) days after the expiration of said thirty (30)
day period.  Absent notice from Purchaser to Seller in accordance with the
preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title
subject to said Unpermitted Exception.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement
in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.1, this Agreement shall become
null and void without further action of the parties and all Earnest Money
theretofore deposited into the escrow by Purchaser together with any interest
accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have
any further liability to the other, except for Purchaser's obligation to
indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more fully set forth in Paragraph
7.

     5.2.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property to
Purchaser by special warranty deed (the "Deed") in recordable form subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions and any Unpermitted Exceptions waived by Purchaser.

6.   CONDEMNATION, EMINENT DOMAIN, DAMAGE AND CASUALTY.

     6.1.  Except as provided in the indemnity provisions contained in
Paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with
respect to the Property up to the earlier of the dates upon which either
possession or title is transferred to Purchaser in accordance with this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the

Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which
would cost less than or equal to $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good
faith), Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall have the right to elect to
either repair and restore the Property (in which case the Closing Date shall be
extended until completion of such restoration) or to assign and transfer to
Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and
to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or
casualty together with a credit for any deductible applicable to the claim
relating to such insurance proceeds.  Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in
writing of any such fire or other casualty and Seller's determination of the
cost to repair the damage caused thereby.  In the event of damage to the
Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which
would cost in excess of $100,000.00 (as determined by both Seller and Purchaser
in good faith), then this Agreement may be terminated at the option of
Purchaser, which option shall be exercised, if at all, by Purchaser's written
notice thereof to Seller within five (5) business days after Purchaser receives
written notice of such fire or other casualty and Seller's determination of the
amount of such damages, and upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser this
Agreement shall become null and void, the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser
shall be returned to Purchaser together with interest thereon, and neither
party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder, except for
Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more
fully set forth in Paragraph 7.  In the event that Purchaser does not exercise
the option set forth in the preceding sentence, the Closing shall take place on
the Closing Date, and Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser on the
Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all insurance
proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of the fire or casualty together
with a credit for any deductible applicable to the claim relating to such
insurance proceeds.

     6.2.  If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated or threatened in
writing which might result in the taking of any part of the Property or the
taking or closing of any right of access to the Property, Seller shall
immediately notify Purchaser of such occurrence.  In the event that the taking
of any part of the Property shall: (i) materially impair access to the
Property; (ii) cause any material non-compliance with any applicable law,
ordinance, rule or regulation of any federal, state or local authority or
governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Property or any portion
thereof; or (iii) materially and adversely impair the use of the Property as it
is currently being operated (hereinafter collectively referred to as a
"Material Event"), Purchaser may:

          6.2.1.  terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
which event the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease;
or

          6.2.2.  proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign
to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made
in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

     6.3. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days
after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2.  Closing shall be

delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election.  If Purchaser fails
to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser shall
be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2.  If
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a Material
Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event
Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings.

7.   INSPECTION AND AS-IS CONDITION.

     7.1.  During the period commencing on April 16, 1996 and ending at 5:00
p.m. Chicago time on May 31, 1996 (said period being herein referred to as the
"Inspection Period"), Purchaser and the agents, engineers, employees,
contractors and surveyors retained by Purchaser may enter upon the Property, at
any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, to inspect the
Property, including a review of leases located at the Property, and to conduct
and prepare such studies, tests and surveys as Purchaser may deem reasonably
necessary and appropriate.  In connection with Purchaser's review of the
Property, Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser copies of the current rent roll
for the Property, the most recent tax and insurance bills, utility account
numbers, service contracts, and unaudited year end 1995 and year-to-date 1996
operating statements.  Seller agrees to make all existing leases for the
Property or any portion thereof available for review by the Purchaser at the
Property.

     All of the foregoing tests, investigations and studies to be conducted
under this Paragraph 7.1 by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser's sole cost and
expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing
prior to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of
Purchaser.  Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any affiliate
or parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers and directors of
Seller or Seller's affiliate or parent (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Affiliate of Seller") harmless from any and all liability, cost and expense
(including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and
costs of appeal) suffered or incurred by Seller or Affiliates of Seller for
injury to persons or property caused by Purchaser's investigations and
inspection of the Property.  Purchaser shall undertake its obligation to defend
set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys selected by Purchaser,
subject to Seller's reasonable approval.

     Prior to commencing any such tests, studies and investigations, Purchaser
shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing comprehensive
general public liability insurance insuring the person, firm or entity
performing such tests, studies and investigations and listing Seller and
Purchaser as additional insureds thereunder.

     If Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion, is dissatisfied with the
results of the tests, studies or investigations performed or information
received pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Seller
at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period.  If written
notice is not given by Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period, then the right of Purchaser to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 shall be waived.  If Purchaser
terminates this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration

of the Inspection Period: (i) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies
of all studies, reports and other investigations obtained by Purchaser in
connection with its due diligence during the Inspection Period; and (ii) the
Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser shall be immediately paid to Purchaser,
together with any interest earned thereon, and neither Purchaser nor Seller
shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement, except for
Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more
fully set forth in this Paragraph 7.1.  Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore
the Property, as more fully set forth in this Paragraph 7.1, shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Deed and  termination of this Agreement.

     7.2.  Seller makes no representations or warranties relating to the
condition of the Property or the Personal Property, except as specifically set
forth herein.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the

contribution, cost recovery or otherwise, against Seller or the Affiliates of
Seller, relating directly or indirectly to the existence of asbestos or
Hazardous Materials on, or environmental conditions of, the Property, whether
known or unknown.  The provisions of this Paragraph 7.2 shall in no event be

EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AND RESTORE THE PROPERTY
AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 7.1 HEREOF.  THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S

12.  PRORATIONS.

balance of the cash due at Closing.  Assessments payable in installments which

amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the
adjustments thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent ascertainable
data.  All prorations will be final except as to delinquent rent referred to in
Paragraph 12.2 below. 

     12.2.  All basic rent paid following the Closing Date by any tenant of the
Property who is indebted under a lease for basic rent for any period prior to
and including the Closing Date after the payment to Purchaser of all current
basic rent shall be deemed a "Post-Closing Receipt" until such time as all such
indebtedness is paid in full.  Within ten (10) days following each receipt by
Purchaser of a Post-Closing Receipt, Purchaser shall pay such Post-Closing
Receipt to Seller.  Purchaser shall use its best efforts to collect all amounts
which, upon collection, would constitute Post-Closing Receipts hereunder.
Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a

after the Closing Date.  Upon the delivery of the Post-Closing Receipts
reconciliation, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any Post-Closing Receipts
owing to Seller and not previously delivered to Seller in accordance with the
terms hereof.  Seller retains the right to conduct an audit, at reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice, of Purchaser's books and records to verify
the accuracy of the Post-Closing Receipts reconciliation statement and upon the
verification of additional funds owing to Seller in an amount greater than
$5,000.00, Purchaser shall pay to Seller said additional Post-Closing Receipts
and the cost of performing Seller's audit.  Paragraph 12.2 of this Agreement
shall survive the Closing and the delivery and recording of the deed.

13.  RECORDING.  Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be
recorded and the act of recording by Purchaser shall be an act of default
hereunder by Purchaser and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.

14.  ASSIGNMENT.  The Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its interest
in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.  Any
assignment or transfer of, or attempt to assign or transfer, Purchaser's
interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser may assign its interest in this Agreement without the
consent of Seller to any entity in which Purchaser owns a controlling interest
and which assumes in writing the obligations of Purchaser hereunder.  If any
such assignment occurs, Purchaser shall nonetheless remain liable for all
obligations of Purchaser hereunder

15.  BROKER.  The parties hereto represent and warrant that no broker
commission or finder fee is due and payable in connection with this transaction
other than to CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. ("CB"), to be paid by
Seller in accordance with Seller's listing agreement with CB.  Seller's
commission to CB shall only be payable out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Property in the event the transaction set forth herein closes.  Purchaser and
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party hereto harmless from
any claim whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees,
court costs and costs of appeal) from anyone claiming by or through the
indemnifying party any fee, commission or compensation on account of this
Agreement, its negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated other than to CB.
The indemnifying party shall undertake its obligations set forth in this
Paragraph 15 using attorneys selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party.  The provisions of this Paragraph 15 will
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

16.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     16.1.  Any reference herein to Seller's knowledge or notice of any matter
or thing shall only mean such knowledge or notice that has actually been
received by Phillip Schechter or Mike Becker (together referred to as the

review and request the property manager to inform Seller's Representative of
any inaccuracies contained in such representations.  Except as set forth in the
previous two sentences, any knowledge or notice given, had or received by any
of Seller's agents, servants or employees shall not be imputed to Seller, the
general partner or limited partners of Seller, the subpartners of the general
partner or limited partners of Seller or Seller's Representative. 

     16.2.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 16.1, Seller
hereby makes the following representations and warranties, which
representations and warranties are made to Seller's knowledge and which shall,
subject to Paragraph 16.4, survive Closing:  (i) Seller has no knowledge of any
pending or threatened litigation, claim, cause of action or administrative
proceeding concerning the Property; (ii) the rent rolls attached hereto as
Exhibit L which Seller has submitted to the Purchaser and updated as of the
Closing Date are accurate as of the dates set forth thereon; (iii) Seller has
no knowledge of any additional environmental reports of the Property
commissioned by Seller since May 1, 1994 other than the Existing Reports; (iv)
Seller has no knowledge of any due and unpaid leasing commission; (v) Seller
has no knowledge of a material default by Seller under any lease for the
Property; and (vi) the list of Service Contracts attached hereto as Exhibit H
is complete and Seller has no knowledge of any material default by Seller under
the terms of any said Service Contracts.  Seller hereby represents and warrants
to Purchaser the following:  (i) Seller has the power to execute this Agreement
and consummate the transactions contemplated herein; and (ii) Seller has not
entered into any agreement concerning the sale of the Property which conflicts
with the terms of this Agreement.

     16.3.     Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that
Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to execute this Agreement and
consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

     16.4.     The parties agree that the representations contained herein
shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days (i.e., the claiming
party shall have no right to make any claims against the other party for a
breach of a representation or warranty after the expiration of ninety (90) days
immediately following Closing).

     16.5.     Seller covenants to operate and manage the Property in the same
manner that it has managed, maintained and operated the Property during the
period of Seller's ownership, subject to reasonable wear and tear and casualty.

17.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

     17.1.     Neither Seller, nor any of its respective beneficiaries,
shareholders, partners, officers, agents or employees, heirs, successors or
assigns shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature for or by
reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out
of or in any way related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
herein, and Purchaser hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by,
through or under Purchaser any and all rights to sue or recover on account of
any such alleged personal liability.

     17.2.     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Purchaser hereby agrees that the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, in
connection with, arising out of or in any way related to a breach by Seller
under this Agreement after the Closing shall be $200,000.  Purchaser hereby
waives for itself and anyone who may claim by, through or under Purchaser any
and all rights to sue or recover from Seller any amount greater than said
limit.

18.  PROPERTY EXCHANGE.  The Property is intended by Purchaser to constitute
replacement property, in an exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue
Code, for certain property which Purchaser currently owns (the "Relinquished
Property").  Seller will cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost to Seller) in

effecting such an exchange in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and
applicable treasury regulations, to the extent that Seller will consent to and
acknowledge an assignment of Purchaser's rights under this Agreement to the
Title Company, or to another qualified intermediary designated by Purchaser for
purposes of acquiring the Property with proceeds from the disposition of the
Relinquished Property.  Seller will not be responsible for the tax consequences
to Purchaser of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and under
the agreement to sell the Relinquished Property.  Seller will not be required
to accept title to the Relinquished Property and will have no obligations
whatsoever to the owner of the Relinquished Property.  The assignment by
Purchaser of its rights hereunder to the Title Company, or to another qualified
intermediary, for purposes of effecting such an exchange, will not relieve
Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

19.  INFORMATION AND AUDIT COOPERATION.  At Purchaser's request, at any time
before or after the Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser's designated
independent auditor access to all of the books and records of the Property, and
all related information regarding the period for which Purchaser is required to
have the Property audited under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller
from any claim, damage, loss, or liability to which Seller is at any time
subjected by any person who is not a party to this Agreement as a result of
Seller's compliance with this paragraph.

20.  TIME OF ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

may desire to give or deliver to or make upon the other party shall be in
