                             AGREEMENT


For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are 
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. ACQUISITION. At the Closing Date (as defined herein) for the acquisition 
of each of the buildings included in the Pending Projects, the Sellers who 
own that building (as indicated on Appendix I) (the "Participating Sellers") 
agree to convey, and the Purchaser agrees to acquire, such property subject 
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Sellers' shall appoint one 
representative to act as their agent in connection with the acquisition and

Sellers' Representative is authorized to receive written notices from the 
Purchaser on behalf of all of the Sellers of such property.

2. ACQUISITION VALUE. The acquisition value for the conveyance of each of the 
buildings in the Pending Projects will be the amount set forth in Appendix I, 
subject to adjustment if the actual average monthly rental per square foot

Closing Date (as defined herein) differs from the projected rental rate set 
forth in Appendix I. Consequently, the actual Acquisition Value will be equal

          debt encumbering the building as of the Closing Date, and all accrued,
          unpaid interest and other financing charges applicable to such debt

          Participating Sellers of that number of L.P. Units (with each
          receiving his, her or its proportionate share based on their ownership
