PARTNERS, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company ("Purchaser").

                                   RECITALS

     A.   The Seller and the Purchaser are parties to a contract of sale
(10100 North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX) dated effective October 23, 1997
(the "Original Contract of Sale").

     B.   The parties have agreed to amend the Original Contract of Sale to make
a number of changes including extending the inspection period, increasing the
earnest money deposit, changing the closing date, adjusting the purchase price
and providing for Seller financing, all as hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   DEFINITIONS. The defined terms used herein shall have the same
meanings as provided therefor in the Original Contract of Sale, unless the
context hereof otherwise requires or provides. The term "Contract" means the
Original Contract of Sale as amended by this First Amendment to Contract of Sale
and as the same may hereafter be amended from time to time.

     2.   AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLE III. Article III of the Original Contract of
Sale is hereby amended as follows:

          (a)    Section 3.1 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
     follows:

                 3.1 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be Nine Million
          Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,800,000).

          (b)    Section 3.2 is hereby amended by changing "One Hundred Thousand
     and No/100 Dollars ($100,000)" to "One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
     Dollars ($150,000)" on the seventh and eighth lines thereof.

          (c)    Section 3.3 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
     follows:

                 3.3 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be
          payable to Seller through the Title Company as follows:

                        (a)     $1,960,000 in cash or other immediately
                 available United States Federal funds at Closing. The Earnest
                 Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller and applied as a
                 credit against the Purchase Price.

                        (b)     Delivery at Closing of Purchaser's promissory
                 note (the "Note") made payable to the order of Seller in the
                 original principal sum of $7,840,000

              dated the Closing Date. The Note shall bear interest at the rate
              of 6.8% per annum and shall be due and payable in one installment
              of principal and interest on October 31, 1998, and shall be in
              such form as is satisfactory to Seller. The Note shall be secured
              by a first and superior lien against the Property pursuant to the
              terms of a deed of trust and collateral assignment of rents ("Deed
              of Trust") from Purchaser, to Frederick J. Fowler, as Trustee for
              the use and benefit of Seller, which Deed of Trust shall contain
              provisions prohibiting the sale and the placing of subordinate
              liens against the Property without Purchaser's consent and which
              shall be in such form as is satisfactory to Seller.

     3.   TERMINATION OF INSPECTION PERIOD. The parties agree that (a) the
Inspection Period has expired, (b) Purchaser has accepted the condition of the
Property, (c) Purchaser's right to terminate the Original Contract of Sale
pursuant to Section 5.1 thereof has been waived, and (d) the Earnest Money
Deposit is non-refundable in any event other than Seller's default or
Purchaser's termination of the Original Contract of Sale pursuant to the
provisions of Section 4.4 thereof. Upon the execution of this First Amendment to
Contract of Sale, Purchaser shall deposit the remaining $100,000 of the Earnest
Money Deposit with the Title Company.

is hereby amended as follows:

          the enforceability of the Note and the Deed of Trust against
          Purchaser.

          (c) Section 9.2(b)(iv) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as

          of the Note insuring that the Deed of Trust constitutes a valid lien
          against the Property subject only to those exceptions and encumbrances
          which Seller approves, in a form acceptable to Seller.

          (d) Section 9.3(e) is hereby amended by adding the phrase "(other than
     the Note and Deed of Trust)" after the word "Property" on the first line
