respectively referred to individually as "Party" and collectively
as "Parties".

                       W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of the Property (as hereinafter
defined), which is located in the City of Marietta, County of Cobb,

other rights and benefits belonging, or in any way related, to the
Land, including, without limitation, any and all development rights
appurtenant and related solely to the Land; and all right, title
and interest of Seller, if any, in and to any award made or to be
made in lieu thereof and in and to any award for damage to the Land
or the Improvements by reason of any change of grade in, or partial

referred to herein as the "Personalty").  Purchaser agrees to pay,
and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and
Seller's successors and assigns harmless from and against, any and
all sales taxes, if any, which may at any time be assessed in
connection with the sale of Seller's interest, if any, in the
Personalty.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

     (f)  All of Seller's estate, right, title and interest, if
any, in the Service Contracts set forth on Exhibit F annexed

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE.

     The purchase price (hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase
Price") payable by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is Eighteen
Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($18,400,000).  The Purchase
Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

          (i)  simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
the sum of One Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000) in
the form of a wire transfer of immediately available Federal Funds
to the account of Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company
(Georgia or Boston office, but not yet determined which

with the wiring instructions set forth on Exhibit D hereto), shall
be paid to the Title Company as escrow agent as a deposit hereunder
(hereinafter being referred to as the "Contract Deposit").  The
Title Company shall hold the Contract Deposit in escrow in an
interest-bearing bank account.  Any and all interest earned on the
Contract Deposit shall become and be deemed to be a part of the
Contract Deposit.  If the transaction contemplated hereby does not
close because of a default by Purchaser, then the Contract Deposit
shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the provisions of Section 4.C. hereof.  In the event the
transaction contemplated hereby does not close because of the
inability or failure of Seller to fulfill Seller's obligations
under this Agreement, the Contract Deposit shall be returned to
Purchaser pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of
Section 4.A. hereof, unless Purchaser invokes the rights afforded
Purchaser by virtue of Section 4.B. hereof; Notwithstanding the
above, Purchaser may choose in its sole and absolute discretion, by
giving written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement for
any reason until 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, November 24, 1997, the
end of the Purchaser's Review Period (as defined in Section 13B),
whereupon the Contract Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser
and the parties shall have no further obligations to one another;

          (ii) At the Closing (as hereinafter defined in Section 8
hereof), the sum of Eighteen Million, Two Hundred and Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($18,220,000) shall be paid to the Seller (which
sum shall be adjusted to reflect all credits and adjustments
required pursuant to this Agreement) by wire transfer of
immediately available Federal Funds to the account designated on
Exhibit D-1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof (or to such other
account or in such other manner as may otherwise be directed by
Seller by written notice received by Purchaser prior to Closing.

     3.   NO RECORDING.

     Purchaser and Seller each agree that it will not record this
Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof without the prior
written consent of the other Party.  Any recording in violation of
this provision shall be void ab initio and shall be a material
breach hereof and hereunder, and the Party who records this
Agreement shall be liable for all fees and costs incurred in order
to clear said recorded instrument from the records, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements.  The
provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the Closing and the
delivery of the Deed (as defined in Paragraph 1 of Exhibit C
annexed hereto and made a part hereof), or the earlier termination
of this Agreement.


     4.   INABILITY TO FULFILL THE CONTRACT.

     A.   If, at the Closing, Seller is unable to convey to
Purchaser title to the Property
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or if Seller
is otherwise unable to fulfill Seller's obligations pursuant to
this Agreement due to a circumstance beyond Seller's control,
Seller shall be entitled, upon written notice delivered to
Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date, to reasonable
adjournments of the Closing Date one or more times, for a period or
periods not to exceed, in the aggregate, thirty (30) days, to
enable Seller to convey such title or to fulfill such obligations.
Seller agrees not to place any voluntary liens on the Property
between the Contract Date and the Closing Date.  If Seller does not
so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if at the adjourned date Seller
is still unable to convey title to the Property or is still unable
to fulfill Seller's obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
Purchaser shall have the option to either: (i) accept such title as
Seller can convey, without reduction in, or abatement of, the
Purchase Price and without receipt of any credit or allowance on
account thereof, and without any claim against Seller; or (ii)
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered as
provided in Section 5 hereof (in which event Purchaser's sole
remedy shall be the refund the Contract Deposit to Purchaser, and
upon such refund being made to Purchaser, then this Agreement shall
automatically become void and of no further force or effect, and
neither Party shall have any obligations of any nature to the other
hereunder or by reason hereof, except obligations which, pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement or the Exhibits annexed hereto,
expressly state that such provisions survive the termination of
this Agreement).  If Seller elects to adjourn the Closing as
provided above, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the
period or periods of adjournments, in accordance with its terms.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require
Seller to bring any action or proceeding or to take any other steps
to remove any defect in, or exception or objection to, title or to
fulfill any condition, or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall
Purchaser have any right of action against Seller, at law and/or in
equity, for damages or for specific performance in connection
therewith.

     B.   Seller agrees not to place any voluntary liens on the
Property between the Contract Date and the Closing Date.  If Seller
is unable to close as of the Closing Date due to the existence of
a voluntary lien on the Property, Seller shall remove such lien.
If Seller fails to so remove and close, Purchaser shall be entitled
to institute an action for specific performance as described below.
If title does not close due to the foregoing or any other
intentional default of Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to
maintain an action of specific performance provided Purchaser
commences such action within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date
as the same may be extended and/or adjourned pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms hereof.  Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees, for purposes hereof, that an intentional default by Seller
shall not include the Seller's inability to convey to Purchaser
title to the Property in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.  The Parties agree, in the event that Purchaser
commences an action of specific performance, as aforesaid, that the
prevailing Party in any such action shall be entitled to recover
attorneys' fees and disbursements from the other Party.

     C.   The Parties agree that in the event Purchaser shall
default in the performance of Purchaser's obligations under this
Agreement, the actual damages sustained by the Seller as a result
would be mathematically difficult to calculate, and in regard
thereto, Purchaser agrees that a good faith estimate of the damages
which would reasonably compensate Seller is equal to the Contract
Deposit.  Accordingly, immediately upon default by either Purchaser
or Seller, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to the
Contract Deposit, as liquidated damages, to recompense the non-defaulting
party for time spent and the loss of its bargain.
Seller and purchaser agree that: (i) the nondefaulting party shall
furnish the defaulting party and the Title Company with written
notice of the non-defaulting party's intention to seek the return
of the Contract Deposit from the Title Company as aforesaid; and
(ii) the defaulting party shall have a period equal to seven (7)
days following the giving of such notice by the non-defaulting
party within which to cure the default.  If, at the end of such
seven (7) day period, the non-defaulting party is still in default
in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Title Company shall release the Contract Deposit to the non-defaulting party,
as liquidated damages, as aforesaid, with no
additional notices or cure periods having to be furnished or
provided.  Seller's sole remedy for Purchaser's default under this
Agreement shall be to retain the Contract Deposit and, upon such
retention of the Contract Deposit by Seller, as aforesaid, this
Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser and Seller shall be
relieved of any further liability hereunder, at law and/or in
equity, relating to Purchaser's default in the performance of
Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement except with respect to
any obligations and/or liabilities which pursuant to the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement (or the
Exhibits annexed hereto) expressly state that such provisions
survive the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section
4.C. shall be deemed or construed to limit Seller's rights,
remedies or recourse, or to limit Purchaser's obligations or
liabilities, with respect to any breach or default by Purchaser
under the provisions of Section 10, Section 19, Exhibit C, and any
other provision of this Agreement, pursuant to which such
obligation or liability survives the Closing and delivery of the
Deed, or the earlier termination of this Agreement.  The provisions
of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Deed, or the earlier termination of this
Agreement.

     Purchaser's remedies for a default by the Seller under the
terms of this Agreement are either return of the Contract Deposit,
or an action for damages and/or specific performance.

     D.   The Parties agree, in the event that Purchaser commences
an action against Seller alleging and/or claiming that Seller has
retained the Contract Deposit in contravention of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of Section 4.C. of this
Agreement, that the prevailing Party in any such action shall be
entitled to recover attorneys' fees and disbursements from the
other Party.

referred to as the "Past Due Rentals") for any month preceding the
month of Closing and/or for the month of Closing owing by tenants
under the Leases at the Closing Date it being agreed that: (i)
Seller is entitled hereunder to all past due rentals (net of
collection costs) accrued up to 11:59 P.M. of the Adjustment Date,

hereunder to all rentals accruing thereafter; (ii) rents received
after Closing shall be applied to the current month's rent than to
delinquent rents; (iii) Purchaser will cooperate (exclusive of
litigation) with Seller in collection of such arrears; and (iv) any
rental arrears still outstanding ninety (90) days after the Closing
Date shall, at that time and upon request of Seller, be reassigned

Rentals and Purchaser agrees to remit forthwith to Seller the
amount of the Past Due Rentals so collected to which Seller is

Closing Date, including, without limitation, any claims for damages

     If any rents relating to a period of time subsequent to the

rents relating to a period of time subsequent to the Closing Date,
which are received by Seller shall be received as trustee for
Purchaser, and Seller agrees to remit forthwith to Purchaser the
amount so received by Seller.

     When the rents have been finally determined, a final
adjustment shall be made in a post-closing adjustment.

     B.   Taxes, fixed annual sewer rents, and assessments, if any,
on the basis of the fiscal year or period for which assessed,
except that if the Closing Date shall occur before any applicable
tax rate, fixed annual sewer rent or assessment is fixed, then the
apportionment of taxes, fixed annual sewer rents or assessments

assessed valuation available at the time of Closing, with a
reapportionment to be made when the next tax, fixed annual sewer
rent, or assessment is fixed.

     C.   If there are water meters on the Property, Seller, to the
extent that the same is obtainable, shall furnish a reading to a
date prior, and as close as possible to, the Closing Date, and the

made an independent investigation of the physical and environmental
condition and value of the Property, that it knows the condition

precedent to Purchaser's obligations hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 10, shall survive the Closing
and the delivery of the Deed, or the earlier termination of this
Agreement.


     11.  TENANCIES AND LEASES.

benefit of the Leases. Purchaser acknowledges that it has fully
reviewed and examined the Leases and finds the
Leases to be satisfactory.

     B.   At Closing, Seller shall transfer or credit to Purchaser
all security deposits not previously applied to tenant obligations

including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements,
with respect to the Security Deposits, together with any accrued
interest and interest to accrue thereon and the future application
thereof.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing
and the delivery of the Deed.


     12.  FIRE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

     A.   The risk of loss, damage or destruction to the Property

restore the Property.  Seller shall maintain in effect through the
Closing Date, policies of fire and casualty insurance in an amount
equal to the Purchase Price, less a deductible (hereinafter
referred to as the "Deductible" in the amount of not more than

     B.   If at any time prior to Closing, any portion of the
Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of (a) fire or any
other casualty (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Casualty"), or (b) a taking in eminent domain (hereinafter
referred to as "Talking"), Seller shall promptly give written
notice thereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Damage Notice") to
Purchaser, including a statement by Seller of its insurance
company's estimate (hereinafter referred to as the "Estimate"),
acting reasonably, of the cost of fully repairing and restoring the
Property, or in the case of a Taking, the remaining portion of the
Property, (to the extent practicable) to the condition which
existed prior to the Casualty or Taking, as the case may be.  The
Estimate shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller.
Any damage to or destruction of the Property as a result of a
Casualty or Taking shall be deemed to be immaterial for purposes of
this Agreement if the Estimate is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00) or less.  If such damage or destruction is deemed to
be immaterial (as aforesaid), neither Party shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and there shall be no abatement in the
Purchase Price, and in lieu of any such abatement, Seller shall:
(i) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing,
in counterparts, an assignment, expressly made without
representation or warranty by Seller and without recourse to
Seller, of Seller's interest in any net insurance or condemnation
proceeds (that is, after the reasonable expenses of collection)
which may be payable to Seller as a result of such Casualty or
Taking, subject, however to Seller's right to receive reimbursement
therefrom of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller for or on
account of repairs and/or restoration of the Property prior to the
Closing; and (ii) allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase
Price in an amount equal to the Deductible.

     C.   If there shall be material (i.e., the Estimate is more
than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00)) damage to, or
destruction of, the Property as a result of a Casualty or Taking
prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by providing written notice to the Seller within ten
(10) days after Purchaser's receipt of the Damage Notice from
Seller.  Upon such termination, the Contract Deposit shall be
returned to the Purchaser, together with any and all interest
earned thereon, and upon such return of the Contract Deposit,
together with any and all interest earned thereon, all claims and
obligations of the Parties, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, shall be immediately released and discharged.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the provisions of this
Agreement and the Exhibits thereto which expressly state that the
same survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such
termination.  If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with the foregoing terms of this Section, there shall
be no abatement in the Purchase Price, and in lieu of any such
abatement, Seller shall: (i) execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Purchaser at the Closing, in counterparts, an assignment, expressly
made without representation or warranty by Seller and without
recourse to Seller, of Seller's interest in any net insurance or
condemnation proceeds (that is, after the reasonable expenses of
collection) which may be payable to Seller as a result of such
casualty or taking, subject, however, to Seller's right to receive
reimbursement therefrom of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller
for or on account of repairs and/or restoration to the Property
prior to the Closing; and (ii) allow Purchaser a credit against the
Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Deductible.


     13.  TITLE.

     A.   Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has prior to the
Contract Date: (i)
been provided with a photocopy of the existing Title Insurance
Policy for the Property; and
(ii) has been provided a report of title or title commitment
(hereinafter referred to as the "Commonwealth Title Commitment")
from the Title Company a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit
E.

     B.   Seller's obligations under this Agreement in connection
with the transfer to Purchaser of fee simple title (hereinafter
referred to as "Title") to the Land and the Improvements (i.e.,
that portion of the Property which constitutes real property) shall
be to transfer Title to the Land and Improvements in recordable
form, subject to no liens, claims, encumbrances, rights-of-way,
easements, restrictions, reservations, covenants, conditions,
claims, liabilities, charges, reversions or other agreements or any
other matter affecting title, except for the exceptions approved by
Purchaser during the Review Period described in the Letter of
Intent executed by the Parties on October 14, 1997.  The Review
Period began on October 24, 1997 and ends on November 24, 1997.
After the Review Period has passed, Seller's obligations in
connection with Title shall be to transfer subject to the
exceptions listed on Exhibit H annexed hereto and made a part
hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions"),
which shall include (but not be limited to) any state of facts a
survey thereof would show, as well as any additional or later state
of facts which an accurate re-date or re-survey or survey
inspection would show.  Seller may approve or disapprove the survey
for any reason during the Review Period.  After the Review Period
has passed, Seller's obligations in connection with survey shall be
to provide a survey which satisfies the standards set forth on
Exhibit J.

     C.   Purchaser's obligation under this Agreement in connection
with the transfer by Seller of Title to the Land and Improvements
shall be to accept such Title to the extent the same is in full and
complete satisfaction of the standards for the Survey and the
standards for Title as set forth more specifically in Exhibits I
and J, Section 20.B and Section 20.C of this Agreement, unless any
of such standards, as aforesaid, have been waived in writing by
Purchaser at or prior to the Closing.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the aforementioned standards
for the Survey and the standards for Title shall not impose any
obligations under this Agreement upon Seller, and that Seller's
obligations under this Agreement in connection with the transfer of
Title to Purchaser are set forth in Section 13.B hereof.

     D.   If, at the Closing, there shall be any liens,
encumbrances or charges affecting title which are not permitted
pursuant to this Agreement, then Seller may, upon request from
Seller to Purchaser, require Purchaser to apply such portion of the
balance of the Purchase Price as shall be necessary to discharge
such liens, encumbrances and charges and pay the recording fees,
and in such event Seller shall deliver to Purchaser instruments in
recordable form sufficient to discharge the same of record.  If
request is made by Seller within a reasonable time prior to the
Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide at the Closing, separate
certified checks as requested to facilitate the satisfaction of
such liens, encumbrances and charges.  The existence of such liens,
encumbrances and charges shall not be objections to title if Seller
complies with the provisions of this paragraph.  Seller shall be
conclusively deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of this
Agreement as to title if the Title Company (or any other reputable
title insurance company) will insure such title at regular rates in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, subject to the
exceptions permitted pursuant to this Agreement and the matters
referred to in Exhibit H (Permitted Exceptions) hereto.

     E.   From the contract Date through the Closing Date, Seller
agrees that Seller shall not mortgage or further encumber the
Property, without first obtaining Purchaser's
written consent.


     14.  NONASSIGNABLE CONTRACT.

     Purchaser shall not have the right, without Seller's prior
written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole
discretion, to assign or transfer any of Purchaser's rights,
obligations and interests under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller's successors and
assigns, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
costs, expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of Purchaser's
failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 14.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, Purchaser may assign Purchaser's rights, obligations and
interests under this Agreement, without Seller's prior written
consent to an affiliate, the majority of the interests in which are
owned by the Purchaser.  If such assignment is made, the sale
contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated in the name and
by and through the authorized officials of any such assignee.

     Any assignment or transfer of this Agreement made without
Seller's prior written consent shall be void and a material breach
of this Agreement and such assignee or transferee shall acquire no
rights hereunder.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Deed or the earlier termination of
this Agreement.

survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed), and an
acknowledgment by Seller and Purchaser that the conditions
