          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the
mutual representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and other
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Prefco, Partners and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

          1. Purchase and Sale of the Property. On the Closing Date and

          2. Closing Documents. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Prefco, Partners and Purchaser shall enter into
the Closing Documents to which they are a party.

          3. Purchase Price. Purchaser shall pay, and Prefco shall accept, as
the purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Property, in addition to
Purchaser's acquiring the Property subject to the Mortgage (or Purchaser
prepaying all or any part of the loan as evidenced by those certain Series A
9.70% Secured Note Due 2000, Series B 9.91% Secured Note Due 2004, Series C
10.01% Secured Note Due 2007, Series D 10.01% Secured Note Due 2010, Series E
10.42% Secured Note Due 2010, Series F 10.55% Secured Note due 2010 (the
"Notes"), which Notes are secured by the Mortgage, as more fully set forth
below), the amount of Fifty Four Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($54,600,000.00), as increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 7 and 13 hereof, which Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser as
follows:

             (i)   simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall deposit with the Title Company (as defined is Section 7 (ii)
hereof), as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), the sum of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (together with any interest earned
thereon, the "Deposit");

             (ii)  simultaneously with Purchaser's satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof, Purchaser shall deposit
with Escrow Agent the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($250,000.00), which amount will be added to and become part of the Deposit; and

             (iii) At Closing, Purchaser shall pay or shall cause the Escrow
Agent to pay to Prefco (or its designees) the Deposit ($500,000.00 plus accrued
interest thereon) plus the balance of the Purchase Price in the amount of Fifty
Four Million One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($54,100,000.00)(as
increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7 and 13 hereof)
in immediately available funds by wire transfer to accounts designated by
Prefco. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is subject to the Mortgage and
that the Purchase Price shall not be diminished or otherwise reduced by reason
thereof, including, without limitation, reductions by reason of the pay off of
all or any part of the existing financing, prepayment penalties, or otherwise
(whether Purchaser elects to prepay all or any part of the loan as evidenced by
the Notes and secured by the Mortgage).

          4. Deposit; Escrow Terms. The Deposit shall be deposited by Escrow
Agent

                                        2

<PAGE>

in an interest bearing account and the interest shall be payable to whichever
party is entitled to receive the Deposit. The parties acknowledge that Escrow
Agent is holding the Deposit and interest thereon solely as a stakeholder at
their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed
to be the agent of either party in carrying out its role as Escrow Agent
hereunder, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party for any act
or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith or in willful
disregard of this Agreement or involving its gross negligence. Prefco and
Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless
from and against any and all claims, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs) which Escrow Agent
may incur in connection with any dispute over the distribution of the Deposit,
except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in
bad faith or in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving Escrow Agent's
gross negligence. Escrow Agent may act or not act in its role as escrow agent
hereunder in full reliance upon and with the advice of counsel which it may
select and shall be fully protected in so acting or not acting. Escrow Agent has
acknowledged its agreement to act as escrow agent in accordance with this
Agreement by signing in the place indicated on the signature page of this
Agreement. Escrow Agent may at any time discharge its duties hereunder by
depositing the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Closing
occurs, the Deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price and paid to
Prefco or the Partners, as applicable. If the Closing does not occur for any
reason other than a Purchaser's default, then the Deposit shall be returned to
Purchaser.

          5. "As-Is". Purchaser accepts the Property "AS-IS," "WHERE IS," with
all faults and defects as of the date hereof and the Closing Date. Purchaser
represents that it is relying solely upon its inspection of the Property, if
any, for all purposes whatsoever including, without limitation, the
determination of the character, size (including quantity of acreage), condition
(whether environmental or otherwise), accessibility, compliance with applicable
laws, state of repair and title and zoning, except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that there have been no representations,
warranties, guaranties, statements or information of any kind, express or
implied (including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose), made or furnished to Purchaser by Prefco
or any of its employees or agents, except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement. This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
Closing.

          6. Environmental. Prefco makes no representations or warranties to
Purchaser that the Property is now or will be through the Closing Date in
compliance with applicable federal, state, regional, county or local laws,
statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances, concerning environmental matters or
the environment. Without limitation and in furtherance of the foregoing, it is
expressly agreed between Purchaser and Prefco that the Land and Improvements are
being transferred to and accepted by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in
their present, strict "AS IS, WHERE IS" environmental condition as of the
Closing Date and with all environmental faults, including without limitation any
environmental defects involving hazardous materials in, on, under or emanating
from the Land or Improvements, whether latent or patent, disclosed or
undisclosed, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown. Purchaser is not relying
on any environmental representation or environmental warranties of any kind
whatsoever, express or implied, from Prefco as to any matter concerning the
environmental condition or

                                        3

<PAGE>

environmental quality (surface or subsurface) of the Land and Improvements and
hereby expressly and unconditionally waives and releases any and all implied
warranties relevant to the environmental condition and/or environmental quality
of the same. Nothing set forth in any other section of this Agreement shall be
interpreted or construed to be a representation or warranty relating to
compliance with environmental, health and safety matters. This Section 6 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

          7.  Approvals and Conditions; Indemnity.

          (a) The obligations of Prefco and Purchaser under this Agreement shall
be subject to and contingent upon timely satisfaction of the following
conditions, which conditions, if not satisfied or waived as hereinafter
provided, shall entitle Prefco or Purchaser, as the case may be, to terminate
this Agreement in accordance with (and within the time periods set forth in)
this Section 7:

          (i) Review of Documentation Relating to the Property; Physical
              Inspection of the Land and Improvements. Prefco has heretofore
              provided Purchaser with copies of all documentation concerning the
              Property which is in Prefco's possession or control, including
              without limitation, any existing title policies covering Prefco's
              interest in the Land and Improvements, the Lease, the Mortgage,
              the Tripartite Agreement and that certain Option Agreement dated
              as of July 31, 1990 between Investment Partners Leasing
              Corporation and Prefco (the "Option Agreement"). In addition,
              Prefco covenants and agrees to send Lessee the letter in the form
              attached hereto as Exhibit G, and to use commercially reasonable
              efforts in obtaining the materials requested therein; provided,
              however, that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not be
              construed to require Prefco to threaten or initiate litigation,
              grant any concession or pay any consideration. Prefco shall
              continue to cooperate with Purchaser in providing information and
              documents to assist in Purchaser's investigation of the Property.
              Purchaser may, at Purchaser's sole risk and expense, undertake
              such physical inspection of the Land and Improvements as Purchaser
              deems necessary or appropriate subject to the rights of Lessee
              under the Lease.

              Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement
              to the contrary, Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site
              inspections of the Property shall be conducted in accordance with
              the provisions of the Lease. Purchaser agrees to indemnify against
              and hold Prefco harmless from any claims by third parties for
              liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's
              fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the
              inspection by Purchaser or its agents, and notwithstanding
              anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to
              indemnify and hold Prefco harmless shall survive Closing or any
              termination of this Agreement. All on-site inspections shall occur
              at any reasonable time during normal business hours, upon the
              giving of reasonable notice, if the

                                        4

<PAGE>

              inspecting parties take precautions not to unreasonably
              inconvenience Tenant or any persons occupying the Property in
              accordance with the Lease, and are accompanied by an employee or
              other representative of Tenant at all times during such entry or
              inspection. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to
              the contrary, Purchaser understands and agrees that it may be
              excluded from inspecting areas of the Property designated as
              security areas by Tenant, including, without limitation, vaults,
              modular vaults and automatic teller machines. Without limitation
              of the foregoing, Prefco agrees to afford Purchaser and a
              reasonable number of its authorized agents the right to
              communicate with Lessee, any subtenants of Lessee (with the
              permission of Lessee), and Remainderman, provided that Prefco
              shall be entitled to have a representative present, whether in
              person or by telephone, as the case may be, during any such
              communications between Purchaser and such parties.

              Upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
              terms, Purchaser shall keep confidential all such information and
              if requested by Prefco, shall furnish to Prefco copies of the
              written reports, summaries, analyses or results of all such
              inspections, which Prefco may use or may disclose to any potential
              purchaser of the Property. Purchaser shall pay in full, prior to
              delinquency, all bills and invoices for labor and material of any
              kind arising from the inspection of the Land and Improvements. If
              there is any damage to or disturbance of any portion of the Land
              and Improvements in connection with any inspection thereof,
              Purchaser shall restore such portion of the Land and Improvements
              as nearly as practicable to its original condition prior to such
              damage or disturbance including, without limitation, damage to
              landscaping or trees.

              Purchaser shall have one hundred twenty (120) days from the date
              hereof (the "Inspection Period") within which it may, at its sole
              cost and expense, review the documentation (including, without
              limitation, the Option Agreement, Lease and Tripartite Agreement)
              and the physical and environmental condition of the Land and
              Improvements. Purchaser shall have until the end of the Inspection
              Period to disapprove of the documentation and/or the physical and
              environmental condition of the Land and Improvements and to
              terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice (a
              "Termination Notice") to Prefco on or before the expiration of the
              Inspection Period, with time being of the essence with respect to
              Purchaser's obligation to deliver such notice. If for any reason
              whatsoever Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that the
              Property, the documentation or any aspect thereof is unsuitable
              for Purchaser's acquisition, Purchaser shall have the right to
              terminate this Agreement by delivering said Termination Notice to
              Prefco prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and if
              Purchaser gives such notice of termination within the Inspection
              Period, this Agreement shall terminate, and the provisions

                                        5

<PAGE>

              of Section 7(b) shall control. If Purchaser decides to go forward
              with the purchase at or prior to the end of the Inspection Period,
              it will deliver written notice (an "Approval Notice") to Prefco to
              that effect. If Prefco does not receive an Approval Notice or a
              Termination Notice from Purchaser before the end of the Inspection
              Period, with time being of the essence, Purchaser shall be deemed
              to have disapproved of the documentation and the physical and
              environmental condition of the Land and Improvements and all other
              matters relating thereto, and Purchaser shall be considered to
              have delivered a Termination Notice in accordance with the
              provisions hereof.

              The provisions of this Section 7(a)(i) shall survive termination
              of this Agreement or Closing.

              (ii) Approval of Title and Survey. Upon execution of this
              Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, but shall not be required,
              to order (A) a commitment for an owner's policy of title insurance
              (the "Commitment") issued by a title company selected by Purchaser
              and approved by Prefco (the "Title Company") pursuant to which the
              Title Company commits to issue an owner's policy of title
              insurance in such amounts as are reasonably requested by Purchaser
              (the "Title Policy") and (B) a survey of the Land (the "Survey")
              in form acceptable to Purchaser and the Title Company (in the
              event Purchaser elects to obtain title insurance). The costs of
              the Title Policy (together with any endorsements requested by
              Purchaser) and Survey shall be paid by Purchaser. During the
              Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the opportunity to review
              the condition of title and survey. At any time prior to the
              expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may disapprove the
              Survey and the title exceptions, by delivering written notice (a
              "Disapproval Notice") to Prefco stating with particularity the
              exceptions which Purchaser disapproves and the reasons for such
              disapproval. Time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser's
              obligation to deliver such Disapproval Notice. Prefco, at its
              option, shall have fifteen (15) days, from and after delivery of
              Purchaser's Disapproval Notice, to agree to undertake to cause the
              surveyor or the Title Company, as the case may be, to remove such
              objectionable exceptions. Purchaser acknowledges that Prefco shall
              not be obligated to undertake to cause the Title Company to remove
              any of the title exceptions. If Prefco agrees to undertake to
              remove any objectionable exceptions, Prefco will use diligent
              efforts to cause the removal of such exceptions within thirty (30)
              days after it agrees to such undertaking, provided however that
              the Scheduled Closing Date may be adjourned by Prefco, if
              necessary, for an additional period of sixty (60) days to remove
              such objectionable exceptions (provided that Prefco is diligently
              pursuing such removal). If Prefco does not agree to undertake to
              remove such exceptions or shall fail to remove such objectionable
              exceptions within such time, Purchaser may (a) elect to

                                        6

<PAGE>

              waive its objections and close on the Closing Date, (b) terminate
              this Agreement by delivering a Termination Notice to Prefco within
              three (3) business days after Prefco's failure to remove such
              exceptions, or (c) terminate this Agreement by delivering a
              Termination Notice to Prefco within three (3) business days after
              Prefco's failure to remove such exceptions with respect to the
              particular property for which it sent a Disapproval Notice;
              provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be permitted to
              terminate this Agreement with respect to a particular property or
              properties for which it sent a Disapproval Notice which,
              individually or in the aggregate, constitute greater than five
              percent (5.0%) of the equity value of all Properties. In the event
              Purchaser elects option (c) as set forth in the immediately
              preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a
              credit in its favor against the Purchase Price in respect of due
              diligence expenses, such due diligence expenses not to exceed Five
              Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) for each property that
              Purchaser has terminated this Agreement with respect to in
              accordance with the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding the
              foregoing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any such
              reimbursement if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
              does not close for any reason whatsoever, and shall not be
              entitled to any such reimbursement in an amount greater than Fifty
              Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Purchaser's failure to
              respond within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed
              an election to terminate this Agreement, and the provisions of
              Section 7(b) shall control. In the event Prefco does not receive a
              Disapproval Notice from Purchaser prior to the end of the
              Inspection Period, with time being of the essence, Purchaser shall
              be deemed to have approved the Survey and the condition of title
              as set forth in the Commitment through the last day of the
              Inspection Period. Any title exceptions or survey exceptions not
              objected to by Purchaser or otherwise waived and accepted by
              Purchaser shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions" to the conveyance
              to Purchaser by Prefco.

              Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Prefco in writing
              (the "Gap Notice") of any objections to title: (a) raised by the
              Title Company between the expiration of the Inspection Period and
              the Closing; and (b) not disclosed by the Title Company or
              otherwise known to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the
              Inspection Period. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to Prefco,
              Purchaser and Prefco shall have the same rights and obligations
              with respect to such notice as apply to a Disapproval Notice in
              accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(a)(ii).

              In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall
              verbally inform Prefco not more than thirty (30) nor less than
              twenty (20) days after the date hereof, and from time to time
              thereafter at Prefco's reasonable request, of the status of
              Purchaser's document review (including without limitation title
              and survey) and Property inspection pursuant to this Section

                                        7

<PAGE>

              7, including a statement of those items and/or documents which
              Purchaser is still reviewing and/or inspecting with respect to the
              Property.

         (b)  Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
this Section 7, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and Purchaser shall
return to Prefco or destroy on behalf of Prefco all documents delivered by
Prefco to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Upon completion of all of the
foregoing, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and no party shall have any
further rights against or obligations to the other parties hereunder, except as
to those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of
this Agreement.

         (c)  Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Prefco from
and against any and all liability, loss, cost and expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising from any
action by Purchaser or any of its agents, employees or contractors in connection
with any entry onto the Land and Improvements and/or any physical inspection of
the same. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
Closing.

         8.   Costs; Prorations. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement,
each party shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject
to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in the event Purchaser elects to
prepay some or all of the loan as evidenced by the Notes and secured by the
Mortgage, any costs incurred in connection with the prepayment of all or any
part of said loan, as evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Mortgage and
payable to the holder thereof shall be paid by Purchaser upon demand, whether or
not this Closing shall occur. There shall be no apportionments, except for any
rent under the Lease in excess of debt service on the Mortgage, which excess
will be pro-rated from the immediately preceding rent and debt service payment
date to and including the Closing Date (all other expenses being the
responsibility of the Lessee under the Lease both before and after the Closing
Date).

         9.   Remedies on Default.

              (i)  Default by Purchaser. In the event that Closing fails to
occur by reason of a default by Purchaser, Prefco shall be entitled, as its sole
remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated
damages for default under this Agreement; it being agreed between the parties
hereto that the actual damages to Prefco in the event of such default are
impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate
thereof.

              (ii) Default by Prefco. In the event that Prefco or any Partner
defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement for any
reason other than Purchaser's default, Purchaser shall be entitled to (a)
terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit, or (b) seek
specific performance of this Agreement by Prefco or the Partners.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all of the closing conditions
set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied, including, without limitation,
those set forth in Section 13 hereof, and thereafter Prefco or any Partner
willfully defaults in the performance of this Agreement,

                                        8

<PAGE>

Purchaser shall be permitted to pursue an action for damages against Prefco and
the Partners relative to such willful default, but such damages shall in no
event exceed the lesser of Purchaser's actual reasonable out of pocket expenses
or the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Prefco's or any
Partner's liability pursuant to this Section 9(ii) exceed the lesser of
Purchaser's actual reasonable out of pocket expenses or the sum or Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00). As a condition precedent to
Purchaser's right to pursue an action for damages as set forth above, Purchaser
shall be ready, willing and able to perform all of its covenants and obligations
to be performed or delivered on or before the Closing including, without
limitation, delivery of the balance of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to
satisfy such requirements, Prefco shall be entitled to an immediate dismissal of
any action for damages and an immediate removal of any lis pendens affecting the
Property.

          10. Insurance; Casualty or Condemnation. If any portion of the
Improvements are materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior
to the Closing, or in the event Prefco shall receive notice of any taking or any
threatened taking of all or any material portion of the Land or Improvements,
this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, without any
adjournment of the Closing Date and without any adjustment of the Purchase
Price. Prefco and each Partner shall assign all of its rights in and to any
interest it may have to the proceeds payable by any party to Prefco or the
Partner, if any, as a result of such casualty or condemnation affecting the Land
or Improvements, as applicable.

          11. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser
represents, warrants and covenants to Prefco as of the date hereof as follows,
which representations, warranties and covenants shall be deemed to have been
made again as of the Closing:

              in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement may be

                 affecting creditors' rights generally;

            (d)  to the best of Purchaser's knowledge, no consent, license,

                 with the execution, delivery or performance by Purchaser of
                 this Agreement and all of the other Closing Documents, other

            (e)  Purchaser's execution, delivery and performance of this
                 Agreement and the other Closing Documents does not and will not

                 regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree
                 applicable to Purchaser in any manner which will materially
                 adversely affect Purchasers ability to perform its obligations
                 hereunder, (iii) provided that all necessary consents are
                 obtained, do not and will not constitute a default or event of
                 default under any instrument, contract, agreement, lease or
                 other undertaking to which Purchaser is a party or by which it
                 or any of its properties may be subject or bound in a manner

                 municipal or other governmental department, commission, board,
                 bureau or instrumentality which would have any effect on
                 Purchaser's ability to execute and perform its obligations
                 under this Agreement;

            (g)  Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, agent or finder in
                 connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
                 To the extent Purchaser engages a broker in connection with
                 obtaining financing for the acquisition of the Property, the
                 obligations with respect to such broker in connection with such
                 financing shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. Purchaser
                 shall indemnify and hold harmless Prefco from and against any

                 in connection with this Agreement and the transaction

                 petition or answer seeking any reorganization, liquidation,

                 harmless Purchaser from and against any cost, expense

                 acknowledges Prefco is permitted to enter into negotiations for

                 knowledge, is the fee owner of the Improvements and Property,

                 warranties or covenants with respect to any title matters, it
                 being expressly agreed that Purchaser is relying solely on
                 title insurance commitments issued by the Title Company with
                 respect to such matters;

            (n)  the making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Prefco

            13.  Closing; Conditions to Closing.

     (a) Closing. As used herein, "Closing" shall mean the closing of the
transactions contemplated herein on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
Either party shall have the option, exercisable by such party by delivery of
written notice to the other party and the Partners within five (5) days prior to
the Closing Date (the "Equity Purchase Notice"), to restructure the transaction
contemplated hereby as a purchase and sale of all of the outstanding Partnership
Interests in Prefco ("Equity Purchase"). In the event either party exercises
such option, the parties hereto hereby agree that this Agreement shall
automatically be amended as set forth on Exhibit I hereto; provided, however,
that if either party objects to consummating the transaction as an Equity
Purchase, which such objection must be exercised, if at all, by providing
written notice of such objection to the other party and the Partners within one
(1) day of the receipt of the Equity Purchase Notice (the "Equity Purchase
Objection Notice"), then such Equity Purchase Objection Notice shall be deemed
void, and the transaction shall proceed as previously contemplated subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, with each party bearing one-half (1/2) of any
transfer taxes required pursuant to applicable law. The Closing shall take place
through an escrow with the Title Company with the closing documents and actions
not previously delivered or taken to be delivered to the Title Company or taken
on or before the Closing Date in New York, New York at the offices of Prefco's
attorneys, as specified by Prefco. The Closing Date shall be on or before
January 31, 2003 (the "Scheduled Closing Date") (the Scheduled Closing Date, as
adjourned from time to time as provided for more fully below shall be the
"Closing Date"). At any time after the expiration of the Inspection Period and
prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser may adjourn the Scheduled Closing
Date as hereinafter provided. Purchaser may adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date
for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the "First Adjournment Option") by
delivering written notice of such adjournment to Prefco on or before the
Scheduled Closing Date. In the event Purchaser exercises the First Adjournment
Option, Purchaser may further adjourn the adjourned Closing Date for an
additional period of up to thirty (30) days (the "Second Adjournment Option") by
delivering written notice of the exercise of such Second Adjournment Option to
Prefco, provided, that in no event may the Closing be extended to a date which
is later than March 31, 2003. In the event Purchaser exercises the First
Adjournment Option, the Purchase Price shall be increased in the amount of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and, in the event
Purchaser exercises the Second Adjournment Option, the Purchase Price shall be
increased in the additional amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($250,000.00).

         31. Section Headings. Section headings of this Agreement are solely for
convenience of reference and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. References to "Sections" are to Sections of this
Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided.

         32. Section 1031 Exchange. Purchaser and Prefco agree to execute any
documents necessary for Prefco to effectuate the transfer of the subject
property as reasonably requested by Prefco, including, without limitation, an
assignment of any purchase agreement to a "qualified intermediary" as defined in
Treas. Reg. 1.103(k) - 1(g)(4) if requested by such qualified intermediary in
order for said party to be able to effectuate a "like kind exchange" pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
provided that such actions by Prefco have no material adverse impact on
Purchaser.

cooperate with each other in providing all information, documents and other
materials within their reasonable control necessary to assist Purchaser in the
investigation of the Property and Prefco as contemplated by this Agreement.

respectively ("Pro Rata Interest"), as the purchase price (the "Purchase Price")
for the Partnership Interests, in addition to the Purchaser acquiring the

Purchaser otherwise satisfying the Mortgage, by prepayment or otherwise), the
amount of Fifty Four Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($54,600,000.00), as increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 7 and 13 hereof, which Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser as

               (i)    simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall deposit with the Title Company (as defined is Section 7 (ii)

(as increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7 and 13
hereof) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to accounts designated
