     2.   OPERATION OF PROPERTY THROUGH CLOSING

          Through the Closing Date:

          1.1 BUSINESS PRACTICE.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Article 2, the Sellers shall continue, or shall cause any Affiliate, tenant,
or third party managing, maintaining or occupying, as the case may be, any of
the Properties (referred to herein individually as a "Prior Occupant" and
collectively as the "Prior Occupants") to continue, to manage, to maintain
and to operate the Properties in accordance with sound and prudent business
practices and keep the Properties and the tangible personal property thereon

          2.3 LEASES, SERVICE CONTRACTS AND MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS.  Except as
provided in Section 2.4, the Sellers shall not, nor shall they cause or
permit any Prior Occupant to, terminate, modify, extend, amend or renew any
Lease (as defined in Section 4.1.3 hereof), Service Contract (as defined in
Section 7.17 hereof), or Management Contract (as defined in Section 7.17
hereof) or enter into any new Lease (other than the Company Lease pursuant to
Section 2.4 of this Agreement) or Service Contract without the prior written
consent of the Company or the Partnership; provided, however, that the
failure of the Company or the Partnership to object to any such action within
fifteen (15) days after written notice to it by Seller shall be deemed to
reflect the Company's or the Partnership's consent thereto.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all Service Contracts and Management Contracts relating to the
respective Properties shall remain in effect after the Closing Date, except
for those Service Contracts and Management Contracts that the Partnership
requires, in writing, to be terminated as of the Closing Date.

          2.4 TERMINATION OF LEASES; NEW COMPANY LEASES.  Prior to the
Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the termination of all Leases.  Not
later than five (5) days  before the Closing Date (as defined herafter), the
Sellers of each Property, or an Affiliate thereof, shall execute and deliver
to the Partnership an occupancy lease with the Partnership for each of the
Properties substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 2.4(a)
(referred to hereafter individually as a "Company Lease" and collectively as
the "Company Leases"), on terms and conditions (including Rent (as defined in
such Company Lease)) acceptable to the Partnership and Sellers.  The Base
Annual Rent (as defined in the Company Lease) called for under the Company
Lease for each Property shall be eleven percent (11%) of the Purchase Price
(the "Rate of Return") for such Property.  The effective date of such Company
Leases shall be the Closing Date.  The Company Leases shall be guaranteed as
reflected on SCHEDULE 2.4(b) using a Guaranty and Subordination Agreement
substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 2.4(c).

          2.5 COMPLIANCE.  None of the Sellers shall knowingly take or fail
to take any action that will cause the Properties to fail to comply with any
federal, state, municipal and other governmental laws, ordinances,
requirements, rules, regulations, notices, codes and orders, or any
agreements, covenants, conditions, easements and restrictions currently in
effect relating to the Properties.

          2.6 NOTICE OF INACCURACY OR INCOMPLETENESS.  The Sellers shall
promptly give written notice to the Company before Closing of the occurrence
of any event of which Sellers have knowledge and which may adversely affect
the completeness or accuracy of any representation or warranty made or to be
made by Sellers under or pursuant to this Agreement.

          2.7 ACCESS.  The Sellers shall cause the Company and the
Partnership and its representatives to have reasonable access to the
Properties, subject to the prior rights, if any, of any Prior Occupant;
provided, however, that without the consent of the Seller, the
representatives of the Partnership shall not disclose to any Prior Occupant
the existence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

          2.8 INSURANCE.  The Sellers shall cause the existing insurance
coverages on the Properties and the business of the Sellers to be maintained

          2.9 FULFILLMENT OF OBLIGATION.  To the extent any Seller is
obligated, pursuant to any contract, agreement, covenant, lease, including
any Lease, or other understanding entered into prior to the date hereof with
any Prior Occupant, governmental subdivision or any other third party, to
effect any construction, make any improvements or take any action, the
Sellers shall cause any such construction, improvements and/or action to be
taken, completed and fully paid for by such Seller, at its expense, prior to
the Closing Date.  No such obligation shall be unfulfilled, and no liability
for or payment in respect of any such obligation shall be unsatisfied as of
the Closing Date.

          2.10     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS.  The Sellers shall
provide to the Company financial statements, agings of accounts receivable,
and other financial, operating or statistical information for each Property
upon any reasonable request of the Company, and the general partner or chief
financial officer, as the case may be, of each Seller shall certify that, to
the best of his or its knowledge, such financial statements and other reports
are true, accurate and complete in all material respects.

          2.11 UNDER CONSTRUCTION PROPERTIES.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership and the Company
recognize that the two properties listed in SCHEDULE 1.2 to this Agreement
as Property No. 5 and Property No. 6 (collectively, the "Under Construction
Properties") are presently being improved pursuant to the construction
contracts listed on EXHIBIT 2.11(a) hereto and the plans and specifications
listed on EXHIBIT 2.11(b) hereto.  The contracts, plans and specifications so
listed are referred to herein, collectively, as the "Contract Documents."
With respect to the Under Construction Properties, the parties to this
Agreement agree as follows:

          2.11.1    The Purchase Price of each such property, as stated in
                    SCHEDULE 1.2 to this Agreement, is based upon the assumption
                    that each such property will be conveyed to the Partnership
                    at the Closing Date identified in Section 5.1 hereto, but in
                    no event later than the date to which the Sellers and the
                    Partnership shall agree in writing:

                    a.   with all improvements called for under the Contract
                         Documents complete in all respects and in conformity
                         with all requirements of the Contract Documents;

                    b.   free of all liens and claims of any and all persons,
                         firms, companies, corporations or other entities

                                       -5-

                         supplying any labor, services, materials, supplies or
                         other things of value in connection with or in respect
                         of any construction or other improvement to the Under
                         Construction Properties or either of them (the
                         "Construction Service/Material Suppliers"); and

                    c.   with certificates of occupancy and/or other
                         certificates issued by all appropriate governmental
                         bodies or agencies attesting to the fact of the
                         completion of all improvements in conformity with all
                         building, zoning and other applicable codes or
                         regulations so as to permit the immediate occupancy of
                         the improvements for the purposes contemplated by the
                         Company Lease.

          2.11.2    The Seller of the Under Construction Properties agrees
                    that it will do all things necessary to convey the Under
                    Construction Properties as contemplated in Section 2.11.1
                    hereto.

          2.11.3    If the Seller of the Under Construction Properties
                    shall have any dispute with any Construction
                    Service/Material Supplier referred to in Section 2.11.1.b
                    above, and that dispute prevents the delivery of the
                    properties or either of them free of any lien or claim, such
                    Seller may deliver the property so affected subject to such
                    lien or claim; provided however that:

                    a.   by such Seller's "bonding off" or posting money with
                         the Partnership's Title Insurer, such Title Insurer
                         will "insure over" the lien or claim in question; and

                    b.   such Seller diligently pursues the dispute to its
                         conclusion.

          2.11.4    If for any reason (including the resolution of a
                    dispute specified in Section 2.11.3 above) the Seller is
                    required to pay more money (the "Excess") than is specified
                    in the Contract Documents as they exist on the date of this
                    Agreement, then if the Partnership determines that the
                    Excess, when added to the Purchase Price specified in this

                                     -6-

<PAGE>

                    Agreement, results in an aggregate amount not in excess of
                    fair market value of the property in question, the Purchase
                    Price specified in this Agreement for the property in
                    question will be increased by the amount of the Excess and
                    the Base Annual Rent payable under the applicable Company
                    Lease will be increased by an amount equal to the amount of
                    the Excess times the Rate of Return.

          2.11.5    The Seller of the Under Development Properties agrees
                    that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall lessen the Seller's
                    obligations under other  provisions of this Agreement or
                    lower the requirements with respect to such Properties as
                    specified therein.

          2.11.6    The Partnership, as purchaser of the Under Development
                    Properties, intends to enter into a separate construction
                    management agreement (the "CMA") with the Seller of such
                    Properties (or an Affiliate of such Seller) with respect to
                    the improvements specified in the Contract Documents. All
                    parties to this Agreement agree with respect to the CMA:

                    a.   Nothing in the CMA shall affect this Agreement or the
                         obligations of the Sellers hereunder, or constitute the
                         acceptance of title to the Properties affected thereby,
                         or give any rights to any entities specified in Section
                         2.11.1.b above; and

                    b.   No part of the sums paid to the Seller (or its
                         Affiliate) under the CMA shall be considered as part of
                         the Purchase Price of the Under Development Properties
                         or be included in the calculation of the Base Annual
                         Rent under the applicable Company Lease.

     3. STATUS OF TITLE TO PROPERTY

          3.1     STATE OF TITLE.  At Closing, the Sellers shall own,
beneficially and of record, good and marketable fee simple title to the
Properties, subject only to the mortgages creating the Mortgage Debt listed
on SCHEDULE 1.2 hereto and those covenants, conditions, restrictions and
other matters affecting title as set forth in the land Title Commitments, UCC
Searches and/or Surveys to be delivered to the Partnership hereunder and
found to be acceptable to the Partnership under Section 3.3 hereto (the
"Scheduled Exceptions").  The Mortgage Debt and Scheduled Exceptions are

condition of the title to each of the Properties:

                    3.2.1   Commitments (the "Title Commitments") to the
                    Partnership for ALTA Form B (1987) Owner's Title Insurance
                    Policies (and for any Properties located within the State of
                    Texas the standard form of commitment for title insurance
                    promulgated by the Texas State Board of Insurance)
                    committing to insure, at standard rates, title to each
                    Property as being good and marketable (except for Properties
                    located within the State of Texas, in which case such title
                    shall be good and indefeasible), subject only to the
                    Permitted Exceptions, in the amount of the Purchase Price of
                    each such Property, issued by a title company acceptable to
                    the Company and the Partnership (the "Title Insurer").  The
                    Title Commitments shall be effective as of the Closing Date,
                    and shall reflect that fee simple title is held by the
                    respective Seller.  Each Owner's Title Insurance Policy to
                    be issued to the Partnership at Closing pursuant to Section

                    coverage endorsement over the general or standard exceptions
                    which are a part of the printed form of the policy and
                    subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If available for a
                    title insurance policy under applicable laws and regulations
                    in the state of issuance, , each Title Insurance Policy
                    shall, in addition, (a) include provisions for co-insurance,
                    in such amounts of liability acceptable to the Partnership
                    and the Company; (b) not contain any survey exception, (c)

                    streets and roads, (ii) a survey endorsement insuring that
                    all foundations in place as of the date of such policy are
                    within the lot lines and applicable setback lines, that the
                    improvements do not encroach on adjoining land or any
                    easements, and that there are no encroachments of

                    any part thereof, (iii) an ALTA Form 3.1 zoning endorsement
                    insuring that the Properties are zoned for the buildings and

                    endorsement, by which the Title Insurer waives any defense

                    "Fairway endorsement," providing among other things, that
                    the Title Insurer waives any defense based on a dissolution
                    or termination of the insured partnership or the formation
                    of a new partnership solely by reason of one or more
                    transfers of all or any part of the partnership interests of
                    any one or more of the general partners of the insured to
                    the Company or the Partnership and/or any one or more of the
                    limited partners of the insured, and/or the transfer of any
                    one or more of the limited partner's interests to the
                    current general partner, the Company or the Partnership, and
                    (vii) such other endorsements as the Partnership and the
                    Company may reasonably require.

                    "UCC Searches"), conducted by a company reasonably
                    acceptable to the Partnership.  The UCC Searches shall name
                    each Seller, Prior Occupant, and Property, and shall search
                    the appropriate land records and central filing office for

                    possession or control of the Sellers, relating to, matters

                    Survey shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
                    Partnership and the Title Insurer, provided that the
                    Partnership shall accept a recertified Survey on any

any defects in the title or other such matters relating to the title that the
Partnership determines, in its sole discretion, are unacceptable.  The
Partnership shall notify the Sellers in writing within ten (10) business days
after the Partnership receives the Title Commitments, UCC Searches or
Surveys, as the case may be, of any such defects or matters that the
Partnership finds to be unacceptable, and, within sixty (60) days from the
receipt of notice, such Sellers shall, (i) as to any such exception or other
matter of a nonmonetary nature, use reasonable efforts to remove, correct and
cure such defects or such other matters, and (ii) as to any such defect or
other matter of a monetary nature, cause such lien or encumbrance or other
matter to be discharged and released, in each case to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Partnership.  If such Seller fails to remove, correct and
cure such defects or such other matters, the Partnership may, at its option
and as its exclusive remedy, (x) terminate this Agreement, in which event
this Agreement, without further action of the parties, shall become null and
void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under
this Agreement, (y) terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property
and reduce the Aggregate Purchase Price by the Purchase Price for such
Property with respect to which the Seller fails to correct and cure such
defects or other such matters, or (z) elect to accept title to such Property
and discharge or release any liens, encumbrances or other matters of a
monetary nature and reduce the Aggregate Purchase Price by the amount
necessary to correct or cure such monetary liens, encumbrances or other
matters.  If the Partnership fails to make any such election, the Partnership
shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in clause (y).

                    required to be disclosed by law (including federal and state
                    securities laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder),
                    regulation or legal process, or unless otherwise consented
                    to in writing by the Sellers, which consent shall not be
                    unreasonably withheld, the Partnership and the Company shall

                    9.1.4    The Partnership shall not sell, repay Mortgage

                    confidential financial information (the "Confidential
                    Information") with respect to the business conducted on the
                    Leased Properties.  The Company agrees to use the
                    Confidential Information solely for the purposes of
                    monitoring compliance with the terms of this Agreement and
                    the Company Leases, and the Confidential Information shall
                    be disclosed only to those of the Company's employees,
                    advisors and consultants to whom it is necessary for such
                    purposes.  Moreover, the Company will use its best efforts
                    to implement policies and procedures at the Board of
                    Trustees level so as to minimize the disclosure of
                    Confidential Information to Trustees having interest in
                    businesses that compete with the Sellers and their
                    affiliates.

                    efforts to cause the conditions in this Agreement to be
                    satisfied.

                    environmental studies, sampling and testing procedures;
                    taking remedial action; and modifying operations or physical
                    facilities to otherwise eliminate potential liability and
                    ensure full compliance with the Environmental Laws. Without
                    limiting the foregoing, each Seller shall ensure that it has
                    identified any underground storage tanks ("USTs") used in
                    conjunction with its operations and that all registration,
                    investigation, remedial action and technical upgrade
                    requirements have been complied with fully in respect of
                    each such UST.

                    9.2.4    Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
                    Date, Sellers shall use their best efforts to cause the
                    conditions in this Agreement to be satisfied.

          9.3 NO CLAIM AGAINST PROPERTY.  Each Seller hereby represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, each Seller: (i)
will have no claim of any kind or nature against any Property by reason of
the execution of this Agreement; and (ii) hereby waives, releases and
discharges any claim any Seller has or may have with respect thereto.

Section 7.26, this representation, warranty, covenant and agreement shall
survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall
continue in effect.

     10.   DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD

          10.1  DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD.  The period from the date hereof until
the Closing Date is referred to herein as the "Due Diligence Period."

          10.2  ACCESS TO PROPERTIES AND MATERIALS.  During the Due Diligence
Period and upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice, the Company and the
Partnership and their agents, engineers, surveyors, appraisers, auditors,
counsel and other representatives shall have the right to enter upon the
Properties to inspect, examine, survey, obtain engineering inspections and
environmental studies, appraise, and otherwise do that which, in the opinion
of the Partnership and the Company, is necessary to determine the boundaries,
acreage and condition of the Properties and to determine the suitability of
the Properties for the uses intended by the Partnership (including, without
limitation, inspect, review and copy any and all documents in the possession
or control of Sellers, or their respective agents, contractors or employees,
and which pertain to the construction, ownership, title, use, occupancy or
operation of the Properties or any part thereof).  During the Due Diligence
Period, the Sellers, at their expense and at such times as will not
unreasonably interfere with the business being conducted on the Property or
hinder the Partnership's due diligence review, shall make available to the
Company and the Partnership copies or originals of all of their respective
books, files and records relating in any way to the Properties, complete
copies (or originals when requested) of all title information and title
insurance policies, easements, leases, brokerage agreements, licenses,
permits, surveys, zoning information, environmental reports, structural
reports, violation or default notices, contracts, tax bills and assessments,
information regarding pending or threatened claims, suits or proceedings, and
all consents and other documents required to be obtained for the completion
of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

          10.3  ADJUSTMENT FOLLOWING DUE DILIGENCE.  If the Company or
Partnership determines that one or more representations or warranties or any
information included on any SCHEDULE relating to any Property is incomplete
or inaccurate in any material respect (the "Non-Conforming Property"), the
Company shall have the option to: (a) proceed with the transactions
contemplated hereby, (b) declare this Agreement null and void in which case
no party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (c)
terminate this Agreement with respect to such Non-Conforming Property and
proceed with the transactions hereby with respect to the other Properties, in
which case the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Purchase
Price of such Non-Conforming Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Partnership excercises its rights under Section 10.3(c)
above with respect to any Non-Conforming Property other than due to a title
defect (pursuant to Section 3.3) or a misrepresentation or breach  of any
environmental representation, warranty or covenant (as set forth in Section
7.13), then the Sellers shall have the option of declaring this Agreement
null and void with respect to all Properties.

          11.4 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. All claims for indemnification
under this Article 14 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

                    11.4.1    In the event that any Seller Indemnified Party or
                    Company Indemnified Party (the "Indemnified Party") has a
                    Claim against any Seller Indemnifying Party or Company
                    Indemnifying Party obligated to provide indemnification
                    pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2 hereof, on the one hand,
                    or Section 11.3 hereof, on the other hand  (the
                    "Indemnifying Party"), which does not involve a claim being
                    asserted against or sought to be collected by a third party,
                    the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send
                    a written notice (the "Claim Notice") with respect to such
                    claim to the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party
                    does not notify the Indemnified Party within the thirty (30)
                    days thereafter (the "Notice Period") that the Indemnifying
                    Party disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be
                    conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party
                    hereunder.  In case an objection is made in writing in
                    accordance with this Section 11.4.1, the Indemnified Party
                    shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written
                    statement to the objection.  If after such thirty (30) day
                    period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the parties
                    shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree
                    upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to
                    each of such claims.  If the

                                       -36-

<PAGE>

                    parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such
                    agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

                    11.4.2    In the event that any claim for which the
                    Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party
                    hereunder is asserted, or any action or proceeding
                    commenced, against an Indemnified Party by a third party,
                    the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness
                    notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, specifying the
                    nature of such claim and the amount or the estimated amount
                    thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall
                    not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim) (the
                    "Third Party Claim Notice").  The Indemnifying Party shall
                    have 30 days from the receipt of the Claim Notice (the
                    "Third Party Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party
                    (a) whether or not such party disputes the liability to the
                    Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim and
                    (b) if such party does not dispute such liability, whether
                    or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and
                    expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend against such
                    claim, provided that such party is hereby authorized (but
                    not obligated) prior to and during the Third Party Notice
                    Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to
                    take any other action which the Indemnifying Party shall
                    deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Indemnifying
                    Party's interests.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party
                    notifies the Indemnified Party within the Third Party Notice
                    Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the
                    Indemnifying Party's obligation to indemnify hereunder and
                    desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim,
                    except as hereinafter provided, such party shall have the
                    right to defend by appropriate proceedings. No non-monetary
                    settlement of any such matter shall be entered into without
                    the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent
                    shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, unless
                    the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing, such
                    party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless
                    such settlement includes a complete and unconditional
                    release of the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnified Party
                    desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense
                    or settlement the Indemnified Party may do so at its sole
                    cost and expense.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to
                    defend the

                                       -37-

<PAGE>

                    Indemnified Party against such claim, whether by
                    failure of such party to give the Indemnified Party timely
                    notice as provided above or otherwise, then the Indemnified
                    Party, without waiving any rights against such party, may
                    settle or defend against any such claim in the Indemnified
                    Party's sole discretion and the Indemnified Party shall be
                    entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount
                    of any settlement or judgment to the extent the Indemnified
                    Party is entitled to indemnification and, on an ongoing
                    basis, all indemnifiable costs and expenses of the
                    Indemnified Party with respect thereto, including interest
                    from the date such costs and expenses were incurred.

                    11.4.3    If at any time, in the reasonable opinion of the
                    Indemnified Party, notice of which shall be given in writing
                    to the Indemnifying Party, any such claim seeks material
                    prospective or other relief which could have a materially
                    adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, financial
                    condition, results of operations or business prospects of
                    any Indemnified Party or in the reasonable opinion of
                    counsel for the Indemnified Party a conflict exists, the
                    Indemnified Party shall have the right to control or assume
                    (as the case may be) the defense of any such claim and the
                    amount of any judgment or settlement and the reasonable
                    costs and expenses of defense shall be included as part of
                    the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party
                    hereunder.  If the Indemnified Party should elect to
                    exercise such right, the Indemnifying Party shall have the
                    right to participate in, but not control, the defense of
                    such claim or demand at the sole cost and expense of the
                    Indemnifying Party.

                    11.4.4    Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the
                    Indemnified Party from making a claim, and an Indemnified
                    Party may make a claim hereunder, for potential or
                    contingent claims or demands provided the Claim Notice or
                    Third Party Claim Notice, as the case may be, sets forth the
                    specific basis for any such potential or contingent claim or
                    demand to the extent then feasible and the Indemnified Party
                    has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or
                    demand may be made.

                    11.4.5    The Indemnified Party's failure to give reasonably
                    prompt notice as required by this Section 11.4 of any
                    actual, threatened or possible claim, demand, action or
                    proceeding

                                       -38-

<PAGE>

                    which may give rise to a right of indemnification
                    hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
                    liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the
                    Indemnified Party unless the failure to give such notice
                    materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party
                    or increases the amount of indemnification which the
                    Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay hereunder.  In any
                    such event, the amount of indemnification which the
                    Indemnified Party will be entitled to receive hereunder
                    shall be reduced to an amount which the Indemnified Party
                    would have been entitled to receive had such notice been
                    timely.


     12. MISCELLANEOUS

          12.1     ASSIGNMENT.  Neither this Agreement nor any interest
hereunder may be assigned or transferred by any Seller without the prior
