          2.2  Purchaser desires to purchase the Property from
Seller, and Seller is willing to sell the same subject to the terms
and conditions hereof.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties as
follows:

     3.   AGREEMENTS

          3.1  Sale.  Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property
from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell the Property to Purchaser,
under the terms set forth in this Agreement.

          3.2  Binding Upon Purchaser.  By execution of this
Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall be bound by the terms and
conditions hereof, subject, however, to the contingencies provided
herein.

          3.3  Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Property
is Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Purchase Price"),
payable in cash or federal funds by wire transfer to Seller upon
closing of the Property sale.

          3.4  Earnest Money Deposit.  Simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement, Purchaser will deliver to the Title
Company (as hereinafter defined) an earnest money deposit in the
amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the "Deposit").
The Deposit shall be: (a) applied to the Purchase Price if the
transaction described in this Agreement is consummated; or (b)
returned to Purchaser if Purchaser cancels this Agreement pursuant
to Purchaser's cancellation rights hereunder; or (c) be paid over
and retained by Seller as liquidated damages as Seller's sole
remedy in the event Purchaser defaults hereunder, as provided in
Paragraph 3.16.  The Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser in the
event Purchaser cancels this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3.7.

          3.5  Purchaser's Due Diligence.  Purchaser shall have
thirty (30) days from the date hereof to conduct such due diligence
as Purchaser deems necessary with respect to the Property (the "Due
Diligence Period").  During the Due Diligence Period, Seller will
permit Purchaser access to the Property on reasonable notice by
Purchaser, during normal business hours, and will make available to
Purchaser for review and copying at Purchaser's expense, such
written information concerning the Property as Seller has in its
possession or under its control including, to the extent in
existence and within the files of Seller or the property manager,
those items set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.  Purchaser
agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and save Seller harmless from
any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs or causes
of action of any kind, nature or description, including attorneys'
fees, as arise because of or as are related to Purchaser's
activities during the Due Diligence Period.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 3.5, Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that it shall not make or perform any
physical tests or procedures on, about or to the Property
including, but not limited to, soil sampling, soil boring, material
sampling, excavations, and the like without Seller's prior written
consent, which consent may be granted or withheld by Seller in its
sole and absolute discretion.  Seller shall notify Purchaser of its
decision to grant or to withhold its consent within five (5)
business days following Seller's receipt of Purchaser's request for
permission to perform any physical test or procedure.  In the event
Seller withholds Its consent to Purchaser performing any physical
test or procedure, Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this
Agreement.  Provided Seller has granted its consent to Purchaser
performing any physical test or procedure, if Purchaser's agents go
on the Premises and perform labor thereon such as soil boring or
environmental inspections, Purchaser shall provide Seller with
evidence of workman's compensation and liability insurance
satisfactory to Seller to protect Seller from any liability
concerning such activities.  The results of all tests or procedures
shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Purchaser to
any third party without Seller's prior written consent.

          3.6  Title Insurance and Survey.

               3.6.1     Simultaneously herewith Seller has
provided Purchaser with a copy of the Evans Land Survey, dated May
22, 1986 (the "Survey").  Within fourteen (14) days after the date
hereof, Seller at its sole expense shall furnish Purchaser with a
current update of the Survey.  The updated Survey shall show the
location of the Premises and of all improvements thereon, all
recorded easements and, if necessary for an understanding thereof
by description, all roads, rights-of-way and applicable flood plain
information, including the designation of any applicable flood
plain map.  The updated Survey shall contain a legal description of
the boundaries of the Premises.  The description of the land
contained in the updated Survey and in the title policy shall be
used for the purpose of the description to be contained in Seller's
special warranty deed described subsequently herein.

               3.6.2     Within fourteen (14) days after the date
hereof, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a commitment for an
owner's title insurance policy ("Title Commitment") issued by
Safeco Land Title of Dallas, an agent for Chicago Title Insurance
Company, 1201 Elm Street, Suits 5220, Dallas, Texas 75270,
Attention: L. Lamar Tims ("Title Company") and copies of selected
instruments pertaining thereto.  Seller agrees to pay the premium
for the owner's title policy to be issued in the amount of the
Purchase Price.  To the extent that Purchaser desires endorsements
to the title policy or ALTA extended coverage, and such
endorsements or coverage are available without any further action
or cost to Seller, such endorsements or coverage shall be provided
and all increases in the premium as a result thereof shall be borne
by Purchaser.

               3.6.3     Purchaser shall have through and including
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in which to give written
notice to Seller specifying Purchaser's objection to the status of
title to the Premises.  At the and of the Due Diligence Period,
Purchaser shall have no further right to object to the status of
Seller's title to the Premises.

               3.6.4     If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of
title objections within the Objection Period then, prior to the
closing, Seller at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any such
objections at Seller's sole cost and expense.  Within five (5) days
of the receipt by Seller of Purchaser's title objections, Seller
shall notify Purchaser in writing of its decision as to whether or
not to satisfy any such objections.  If Seller satisfies the
objections, closing shall take place as scheduled.  If Seller
elects not to satisfy, or for any reason fails to satisfy all of
Purchaser's objections, Purchaser shall have the option to either:
(a) waive all unsatisfied objections and close the transaction,
without deduction or credit on the Purchase Price; or (b) terminate
this Agreement, in which latter event the parties shall have no
further or other obligation to or with one another hereunder.  Only
those matters approved or waived by Purchaser during the Due
Diligence Period shall be deemed to be permitted title exceptions
(the "Permitted Title Exceptions").

          3.7  Purchaser's Right to Cancel.  During the Due
Diligence Period, Purchaser has the right to cancel this Agreement
by giving to Seller notice as provided in Paragraph 3.16.  If
notice is not delivered within the Due Diligence Period,
Purchaser's right to cancel this Agreement shall terminate as of
the end of such period, except nothing in this paragraph shall
Terminate the right of the Purchaser to cancel this Agreement
pursuant to Paragraph 3.6.4 or if any of the matters set forth in
Paragraph 3.9 occur.

          3.8  Allocation of Purchase Price.  Within the Due
Diligence Period, Purchaser and Seller shall agree in writing as to
the allocation of the Purchase Price between the Premises and
Personal Property.  If Purchaser and Seller fail to agree within
such period, the entire Purchaser Price shall be allocated to the
Premises.

          3.9  Closing of Transaction.  Closing of the Property
sale shall take place on the fifteenth (15th) day following the
termination of the Due Diligence Period or on such prior date as
the parties hereto agree in writing (the "Closing Date") provided,
however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to consummate this
transaction if:

               3.9.1     There shall have been a material adverse
change in the physical condition of the Property through damage by
fire or other casualty.  If the cost of restoration is fully
covered by insurance proceeds in amounts satisfactory to Purchaser,
and Purchaser shall have a right to such proceeds or to terminate
this Agreement and receive an immediate return of the Deposit;

               3.9.2     There is a material change in condition of
the Premises title from the condition approved by Purchaser during
the Due Diligence Period.

               3.9.3     There is pending or threatened any legal
action against Seller or the Premises which, if adversely
determined, could have a material adverse effect upon the Premises,
the use thereof, or performance of this Agreement.

          3.10 Seller's Representations and Warranties.  Following
the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property
in an "as is" condition.  ANY WARRANTIES OF OR WITH RESPECT TO
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF MERCHANTABILITY,
HABITABILITY, PROFITABILITY, OR MARKETABILITY ARE SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIMED.  FURTHER, SELLER DOES NOT MAKE, NOR WILL SELLER MAKE,

Seller of any term or condition of this Agreement.

               3.10.3    There are no service contracts relating to
the Property except as disclosed on Exhibit 3.10.3.  To the extent

Comerica Investment Fund G shall be terminated and released at the

               3.10.5    Seller is, and at Closing will be, the

compliance with the requirements of all governmental agencies; (B)

any kind with respect to the existence or absence of any hazardous
or regulated substances on or about the Premises or of any
contamination thereof, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that as of
the Closing Date, it has been given full and adequate opportunity
to inspect the Property, and that Purchaser is fully satisfied with
said reports and the results of Its own investigation.  Purchaser,
as of the Closing Date, agrees to release Seller from any and all
claims, harm, damages and liability as Purchaser now has or will
ever have against Seller resulting from the existence of hazardous
substances or contamination on the Premises.

          3.12 Closing Adjustments.  At closing of the sale of the
Property, taxes, expenses and other items shall be adjusted, as of
the Closing Date, as follows:

               3.12.1    Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses of
the Property accrued through and including the Closing Date shall
be paid by Seller, and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser
harmless from all liability, loss, cost and expense by reason
thereof.  Purchaser shall pay all operating expenses incurred after
the Closing Date and shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller
harmless from all liability, loss, cost and expense by reason
thereof.  Operating expenses include all normal expenses
attributable to the Property, including any management fees.

               3.12.2    Taxes.  Seller shall pay all general real
property taxes, installments and special assessments, if any, which
are a lien upon the Property and are due as of or before the
Closing Date, except that current general real property taxes shall
be prorated as of the Closing Date and special assessments payable
in installments shall be payable by Seller only for installments
due before the Closing Date and shall be prorated as to any
installment due after the Closing Date for the period through the
Closing Date.  The proration of current general real property taxes
shall be allocated on the basis of due dates of the respective
taxing authorities.  Any refund received as a result of any
existing tax appeal commenced by Seller and relative to Seller's
period of ownership shall be the property of Seller.

               3.12.3    Rents.  All rents collected by the Seller
under any leases up to and including the Closing Date which are
applicable to the period subsequent to the Closing Date, and all
other revenues arising from the Property collected by Seller which
are allocable to the period subsequent to the Closing Date shall be
taken as a credit by Purchaser against the Purchase Price.  To the
extent that Purchaser subsequently collects any rentals or revenues
allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser
shall remit the same to Seller forthwith, it being understood,
however, that rents collected after the Closing Date shall first be
applied to current rents due and payable and thereafter to
delinquent rents.  For purposes of this paragraph, only actual
rents collected shall be prorated.  There shall be no proration of
uncollected rents.  Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against
the Purchase Price in the amount of all tenant security deposits in
the actual possession of Seller.  Purchaser shall use its best
efforts to collect such revenues and to the extent Purchaser
collects such revenues allocable to the period prior to the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall remit the same to Seller forthwith.

               3.12.4    Utilities.  Utility charges shall not be
prorated but, rather, instructions shall be given to the utility
companies by Seller (with a duplicate copy of such instruction
being provided concurrently to Purchaser) to read the meters on the
Closing Date and to issue separate statements thereafter.  If
applicable, utility deposits will be credited to Seller and
assigned to Purchaser at closing.  In the event that any provider
of utilities shall refuse to issue separate statements in the
manner aforesaid, applicable utility charges shall be adjusted in
the manner of rents.

          3.13 Expenses of Sale.  Seller shall be required to pay
only the cost of recording the special warranty dead, the cost of
the owner's title insurance policy (except for endorsements and
coverage obtained at the request of Purchaser which shall be
Purchaser's sole obligation), the brokerage commissions of LePaul
Partners, its own attorneys' fees and the cost of the updated
Survey and, except as set forth in this Paragraph 3.13, no other
costs or expenses.

          3.14 Closing Matters.  Upon the Closing Date: (a) Seller
shall deliver to Purchaser the special warranty dead, bill of sale
and an assignment of all leases and service contracts, if any,
affecting the Property which shall be assumed by Purchaser and
Seller's rights under the terms of the Settlement Agreement in the
lawsuit known as COX v. Shell Oil Company, et al, Civil Action No.
18844 filed in the Chancery Court for Oblon County, Tennessee, as
such Agreement was approved by the Court; (b) the Purchaser shall
deliver to Seller the Purchase Price less the Deposit; (c) the
adjustments specified herein shall take place; (d) to the extent
that Seller has any books or records pertaining to the Premises
same shall be delivered to Purchaser at closing or as soon as
possible thereafter; (e) shall deliver, or arrange at the closing
for the delivery of, an owner's title insurance policy issued by
the Title Company; and (f) possession of the Premises shall be
delivered to Purchaser subject to the rights of any tenants of the
Property.

          3.15 Default.  If Seller shall perform or tender
performance of Seller's obligation under this Agreement and
Purchaser shall fail to perform its obligations hereunder, Seller
may terminate this Agreement by notice to Purchaser, in which
latter event the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as liquidated
damages and neither party shall have any other or further liability
to the other except that if Purchaser shall challenge Seller's said
right to retain the Deposit and Seller shall prevail against said
challenge, Purchaser shall pay all of Seller's costs and legal
expenses, including reasonable attorney fees.  If Purchaser shall
perform or tender performance of Purchaser's obligations under this
Agreement and Seller shall fail to perform, then Purchaser shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement and receive an immediate
return of the Deposit or seek specific performance, in which event
this Agreement shall be terminated, deemed void and of no further
effect, and the parties shall have no further obligations to one
another.
