<PAGE>

     (S)4.15.  (a)  Seller has delivered to Purchaser true, correct and complete
copies of (i) internally prepared balance sheets of the LLC as of September 30,
2000 (the "Latest Balance Sheet") and the related statements of income of the
LLC for the period ended September 30, 2000 (such financial statements being
collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements").  The Financial
Statements (x) are accurate, correct and complete in all material respects and
are in accordance with the books of account and records of the LLC; (y) have
been prepared in accordance with basis of accounting used for federal income tax
reporting; and (z) fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the
LLC, respectively, at the dates and for the relevant periods indicated.  There
has been no change in accounting principles or policies during the periods
covered by the Financial Statements.  The LLC is not a party to any arrangement
that accelerates the receipt of income to one accounting period from a later
accounting period.

          (b) The books of account and related records of the LLC, if any,
reflect accurately and in reasonable and customary detail the assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses and other transactions of the LLC, have been
maintained in accordance with good business practice and all Laws and other
requirements applicable to its business and operations and accurately reflect in
all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for such
periods.  The minute books of the LLC made available to Purchaser contain

out of any act, omission, transaction, circumstance, sale of goods or service or
otherwise (a "Liability"), except: (i) those reflected or reserved against on

required, under GAAP, to be reflected or reserved against on the Latest Balance
Sheet and disclosed and expressly quantified or estimated in good faith on
Seller's Disclosure Schedule.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     (S)4.17.  (a)  The LLC has elected to be disregarded as an entity separate
from Seller within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.  The
LLC is treated in the same manner as a division of Seller within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-2(a), and, as such, Seller reports the
LLC's taxable income or loss directly on Seller's Tax Returns (as defined
below).  At no time has the LLC elected to be taxed, nor has it been subject to
tax, as a corporation for federal or state income tax purposes.

          (b) To the extent required, Seller has filed all Tax Returns (as
hereinafter defined) that it and the LLC were required to file.  All such Tax
Returns, if any, were correct and complete in all respects.  All Taxes owed by
Seller and LLC (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid.

          (c) No Governmental Body or court or arbitrator has assessed any
additional Taxes with respect to the LLC for any period for which Tax Returns
have been filed, and neither Seller nor the LLC has any reason to believe that a
governmental authority will assess any additional Taxes related to the LLC for
any period for which Seller has filed Tax Returns reflecting Seller's ownership
of the LLC.  There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax Liability of the
LLC either (i) claimed or raised by any governmental authority in writing or
(ii) as to which the LLC or Seller has knowledge based upon personal contact
with any Governmental Body or court or arbitrator.  No claim has ever been made
by any Governmental Body or court or arbitrator in a jurisdiction where the LLC
does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that
jurisdiction.

          (d) Neither the LLC nor Seller on behalf of the LLC has waived any
statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time
with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.  The LLC currently is not the
beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return.

          (e) The LLC has not made, and is not obligated to make, nor is it a
party to any agreement that would under any circumstances obligate it to make,
any payments that will not be deductible under Internal Revenue Code Section
162(m) or Section 280G.

          (f) The LLC has not taken any positions on the Tax Returns filed by
the LLC or by Seller on behalf of the LLC that could give rise to a substantial
understatement of federal

                                      10
<PAGE>

taxable income or federal income Tax within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
Section 6662.

          (g) The LLC is not a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement
with Seller or any other person or entity (it being acknowledged that Seller
reports the LLC's taxable income or loss on Seller's Tax Returns, but the LLC
does not have any liability to Seller or any other person or entity for the
payment of Taxes associated with the reporting of such taxable income or loss).

          (h) To the extent applicable or required, the LLC has paid or remitted
to the proper governmental authority (i) all employment Taxes (including,
without limitation, all employee withholding of income Taxes, social security
Taxes, unemployment Taxes and disability Taxes), and (ii) all Taxes withheld at
source in connection with payments made to persons or entities that are subject
to the withholding of Taxes, including, without limitation, payments made to
persons or entities who are not U.S. citizens or residents.

          (i) For federal and state income Tax purposes (if required), Seller
will report the sale of the Seller's Interest to Purchaser as a taxable sale of
the underlying assets owned by the LLC.

          (j) No asset of the LLC (a) is tax-exempt use property under Internal
Revenue Code Section 168(h), (b) is property treated as owned by another person
pursuant to the safe harbor lease provisions of former Internal Revenue Code
Section 168(f)(8), or (c) has been financed directly or indirectly from the
proceeds of tax-exempt state or local government obligations.

          (k) The LLC has not (a) entered into any closing agreement or similar
agreement that affects any Taxes for any taxable year ending after the Closing
Date, (b) agreed to or been required to make any adjustment by reason of a
change in accounting methods that affects any taxable year ending after the
Closing Date, or (c) requested any changes in accounting methods that affect any

untruth, failure to perform or failure to occur.  In the event Seller is in
willful default under this Contract, Purchaser may, at its option,  pursue any
remedies available in law or equity or  seek to enforce specific performance of
this Contract.  Seller shall not be deemed in willful default under this
Contract in the event it is unable (in contradistinction to unwilling) to
fulfill any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein
for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Seller.

             (S)12.02.  Purchaser and Seller agree that in the event of a
default or breach of this Contract by Purchaser, Seller will be damaged and will
be entitled to compensation for these damages, but that such damages will be
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain for the following reasons: (a)
the damages to which Seller would be entitled in a court of law will be based on
the difference between the actual value of the Seller's Interest on the Closing
Date and the Purchase Price for Seller's Interest as set forth in this Contract,
and proof of the amount of these damages will be based on opinions of value of
the Seller's Interest, which can vary in significant amounts; and (b) it is
impossible to predict as of the Closing Date. In addition, both Purchaser and
Seller wish to avoid the cost and lengthy delays which would result if Seller
filed a lawsuit to collect damages for breach of this Contract. Finally,

                                      24

Purchaser desires to limit the amount of damages for which Purchaser might be
liable to Seller should Purchaser breach this Contract.  Therefore, Purchaser
and Seller hereby agree that the Downpayment shall be deemed to constitute a
reasonable estimate of the Seller's damages.  It is agreed that Seller's sole
and exclusive remedy in the event of such default shall be retention of said
amount as liquidated damages.  Seller hereby waives any rights to specific
performance or damages other than as set forth herein.

Section 13.  Broker
             ------

             (S)13.01. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to each other
that neither it nor any of its officers, directors or employees, nor in the case
of the Seller, the LLC, has dealt with any broker or finder or otherwise
incurred any liability for any brokerage fee, commission or finder's fee in
connection with this transaction other than Net Lease Capital Advisors, Inc.
(the "Broker"), who shall be paid by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to separate
written agreements. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to save the other
harmless of and from all loss, cost, liability and expense, including reasonable
attorney's fees, arising out of its breach of the representations, warranties
and agreements contained in this Section 13.01. The provisions of this Section
13.01 shall survive the Closing or, if the Closing does not occur for any
reason, shall survive the termination of this Contract.

Section 14.  Notices
             -------

             (S)14.01. All notices required or desired to be given under this
Contract shall be in writing and shall be sent by (i) Federal Express or other

Section 15.  Study Period
             ------------

             (S)15.01. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Purchaser shall have a period (the "Study Period"), to expire at 5:00 p.m.
P.D.T. on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date hereof to conduct a
due diligence review of the Property, including, without limitation, the fully
executed copy of the Lease, the physical condition of the Property, Seller's
current "as-built" survey, the state of title to the Property, and all
documentation pertaining to the LLC and the Loan. Seller hereby agrees to allow,
and to request of Tenant to allow Purchaser be granted the right of entry to the
Land and Building for purposes of such due diligence review, subject to the
rights of Tenant. Purchaser shall have the absolute right, by written notice to
Seller, to cancel this Contract for any reason whatsoever on or prior to the
expiration of the Study Period and receive a full refund of the Downpayment.
Time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser's cancellation option under
this Section 15.01. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 7.01, 7.02, 12.01
and 15.02, Purchaser's right to cancel this Contract under the provisions of
this Section 15.01. shall terminate upon the expiration of the Study Period, and
any such notice given after the expiration of the Study Period shall have no
force and effect.

                                      26
<PAGE>

          (S)15.02.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is in receipt of the LLC's
title policy, or the Title Company's marked title commitment, with underlying
documents and a survey of the Property.  The exceptions and facts contained in
the title policy or commitment, as aforesaid, and the survey  are hereby deemed
the "Permitted Exceptions".  Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser, at
Seller's cost and expense, an update to the Title Policy (the "Title Update").
In the event Purchaser objects to any exceptions to the title of the Property
which are not Permitted Exceptions, Seller shall have, until the Closing Date,
using its reasonable efforts  to clear all such exceptions. In the event Seller
is unable or unwilling to clear any exceptions which are not Permitted
Exceptions by the Closing Date, Purchaser may, at its option, elect to (i)
terminate this Contract and receive the Downpayment (together with all interest
earned thereon) or (ii) waive such objection and proceed to close the
acquisition of the Seller's Interest without any abatement or reduction in the
Purchase Price.

          (S)15.03.  (a)  By the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser shall
have thoroughly inspected or waived its right to inspect the Property, such
inspections to include, but are not limited to, inspections for (i) structural,
mechanical and other defects or deficiencies, (ii) infestation by termites or
other insects, (iii) asbestos, toxic and hazardous wastes, (iv) underground
storage tanks, and (v) compliance with the certificate of occupancy, all
applicable zoning requirements and other laws, statutes, rules and regulations
imposed by any relevant government authority having jurisdiction over the
Property.  Accordingly, but subject to the express representations and
warranties of Seller set forth in this Contract, Purchaser agrees to take
Seller's Interest in the Property, and is accepting the Property "as is" in its
present condition as of the date of the expiration of the Study Period, and
subject to reasonable use, wear and tear and natural deterioration between the
date of this Contract and the Closing Date.

                     (b) By the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser will
have made such examination of the Property, the operation, income, and expenses
thereof and all

                                      27
<PAGE>

other matters affecting or relating to this transaction as Purchaser deems
necessary. In entering into the Contract, Purchaser has not been induced by and
has not relied upon any representations, warranties or statements, whether
express or implied, made by Seller or any agent, employee or other
representative of Seller or by any broker or any other person representing or
purporting to represent Seller, which are not expressly set forth in this
Contract, whether or not any such representations, warranties, or statements
were made in writing or orally.

             (S)15.04. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from
all liabilities, claims, damages, liens, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) in connection with any
entry onto the Property in connection with its due diligence review. The
provisions of this Section 15.04 shall survive the Closing or the termination of
this Contract.

Section 16.  Cancellation of Contract
             ------------------------

             (S)16.01. In the event this Contract is canceled or terminated
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs 7.01, 7.02 , 12.01, 15.01,or 15.02
hereof, the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further obligations and
liabilities other than any arising under Section 13.01 or 15.04 hereof. Upon
such cancellation or termination, Purchaser shall immediately deliver to Seller
all documentation that Seller has provided Purchaser for Purchaser's due
diligence including, without limitation, the "as built" survey for the
improvements to the Property.

Section 17.  Miscellaneous
             -------------

             (S)17.01. This Contract may be executed in any number of
counterparts which together shall constitute the agreement of the parties. The
Section headings herein contained are for purposes of identification only and
shall not be considered in construing this Contract.

                                      28
<PAGE>

          (S)17.02.  Purchaser may not assign this Contract or the rights and
obligations hereunder without the consent of the Seller, except that Purchaser
may assign this Contract to an intermediary in connection with the Exchange
(hereinafter defined).

          (S)17.03.  This Contract embodies and constitutes the entire
understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated
herein, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and
statements, oral or written, are merged into this Contract.  Neither this
Contract nor any provisions hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged
or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the
enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is
sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.

          (S)17.04.  This Contract and the terms and provisions hereof shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and permitted
assigns.

          (S)17.05.  In the event any portion of this Contract shall be declared
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
such portion shall be deemed severed from this Contract and the remaining parts
hereof shall remain in full force and effect, as fully as though such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of this Contract.

          (S)17.06.  The parties agree that this Contract shall be governed by
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

          (S)17.07.  If either party commences an action against the other to
interpret or enforce any of the terms of this Contract or because of the breach
by the other party of any of the terms hereof, the losing party shall pay to the
prevailing party's reasonable attorneys'

                                      29
<PAGE>

fees, costs and expenses and court costs and other costs incurred in connection
with the prosecution or defense of such action.

          (S)17.08.  Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may acquire Seller's
Interest in connection with an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 Tax-Deferred
Exchange (the "Exchange").  Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to accomplish
such Exchange and the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Contract,
including to the extent necessary or appropriate, acknowledging notice of the
assignment of this Contract by Purchaser to the Intermediary, provided that any
such cooperation or assignment imposes no obligations, liabilities or costs on
Seller.  Purchaser has relied on tax advice from its attorneys relative to the
Exchange and Seller makes no representations with respect thereto.  Purchaser
shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any liability, damage, cost, and
expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, which may occur as a result of
Seller's participation in the Exchange.

Section 18.  Covenants
             ---------
     (S)18.01.  From and after the date of this Contract, until the earlier of
the termination of this Contract or the Closing, Seller agrees with Purchaser as

     (a)  Seller shall cause the LLC to conduct the business of the Property in
the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and shall not amend, modify

Exception, Seller shall not consent to any encumbrance, lien, deed of trust or
similar financial lien to be placed against the Property, whether or not

Exception, without Purchaser's prior written consent, Seller shall not permit
