to Purchaser, at Seller's expense, within five (5) business days after the
Effective Date. Seller's failure to timely deliver the Inspection Materials to
Purchaser shall result in the extension of the Approval Period by one (1) day
for each day of delay in delivering the Inspection Materials. In addition, from
and after the Effective Date, Seller shall make available for inspection and
copying by Purchaser and/or its representatives, at Purchaser's expense, at the
office of Seller's property manager, during normal office hours and upon
reasonable advance notice, copies of files maintained by Seller in the ordinary
course of business relating to Tenants and any portion of the Inspection
Materials to the extent any of the same are not in a form in which they are able
to be copied by Seller (e.g., being oversized such as plans and specifications).

         5.1.1 Purchaser's Termination Right. If for any reason Purchaser does
not desire to purchase the Property as determined by Purchaser in its sole
discretion, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice sent to
Seller at or before the expiration of the Approval Period; and upon such
termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Earnest Money
(subject to Purchaser's delivery of the Reports to Seller), and neither party
shall have any further obligation hereunder except for the Surviving
Obligations. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller prior to the end of the Approval Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to be
satisfied with the Property and shall have waived its right of termination under
this Section 5.1.1.

         5.1.2 Title Commitment and Survey.

             (a) Seller shall order the Survey and cause Purchaser's counsel to
         order the Title Commitment and cause the same to be delivered by the
         Title Company to Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable. In
         the event (i) the Survey shows any easement, right-of-way,
         encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter affecting the
         Property that is unacceptable to Purchaser, or (ii) any exceptions
         appear in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Purchaser,
         Purchaser shall within ten (10) business days after receipt of the
         Survey and the Title Commitment, notify Seller in writing of such facts
         and the reasons therefor ("Purchaser's Objections"). Upon the
         expiration of said ten (10) business day period, except for Purchaser's
         Objections if same are timely raised, Purchaser shall be deemed to have
         accepted the form and substance of the Survey and the Title Commitment.
         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall
         have no obligations to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding
         or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate or
         modify any of the Purchaser's Objections. Seller may, within ten (10)
         business days after receipt of written notice of Purchaser's Objections
         ("Seller's Cure Period"), deliver to Purchaser written notice
         ("Seller's Cure Notice") setting forth which of Purchaser's Objections
         Seller will endeavor to cure prior to the Closing Date and which of
         Purchaser's Objections Seller


<PAGE>   7


         cannot or does not intend to cure. If Seller has not given Seller's
         Cure Notice by the end of Seller's Cure Period, Seller shall be deemed
         to have given notice that it does not intend to cure any of Purchaser's
         Objections. If by the end of Seller's Cure Period, Seller has not cured
         or undertaken to cure all of Purchaser's Objections to the reasonable
         satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive
         remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof
         to Seller not later than 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the first
         business day following the end of Seller's Cure Period. If one (1)
         business day prior to the Closing Date, Seller has not cured to the
         reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser all of Purchaser's Objections
         which Seller has in Seller's Cure Notice undertaken to cure, Purchaser
         may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by
         written notice to Seller on the Closing Date. In the event of a
         termination of this Agreement by Purchaser under this Section 5.1.2,
         neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than
         the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser
         shall maintain the right to close on the purchase of the Property
         following Seller's failure to cure any such Purchaser's Objections.

             (b) The term "Permitted Encumbrances" as used herein includes: (i)
         any easement, right of way, encroachment, conflict, discrepancy,
         overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien, encumbrance,
         restriction, condition, covenant, exception or other matter with
         respect to the Property that is reflected or addressed on the Survey or
         in the Title Commitment to which Purchaser fails to timely object
         pursuant to Section 5.1.2(a) of this Agreement; (ii) subject to
         Purchaser's termination rights provided in Section 5.1.2(a), (A) any
         Purchaser's Objection which in Seller's Cure Notice Seller has
         undertaken to cure that remains uncured, for whatever reason, at the
         Closing Date; and (B) any Purchaser's Objections which by the end of
         the Seller's Cure Period, Seller has given, or is deemed to have given,
         notice that it cannot or does not intend to cure; and (iii) the rights
         and interests of parties claiming under the Leases.

             5.1.3 Limitations of Seller's Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to take any
steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever
to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have pursuant to
Section 5.1.1, Section 5.1.2 or Section 5.2.

         5.2 Inspection.

             (a) From and after the Effective Date through the Closing Date,
         subject to the limitations hereinafter provided in this Section 5.2,
         Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives may enter upon
         the Land and Improvements to conduct such investigations, studies and
         tests as Purchaser shall deem necessary or desirable. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, Purchaser must obtain Seller's written approval (which
         shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the
         scope and method of any environmental testing or investigation (other
         than a Phase I environmental inspection) and any physical or invasive
         testing or inspection prior to Purchaser's commencement of such
         inspection or testing. Seller's prior written consent for physical or
         invasive inspection or testing may be conditioned upon receipt of a
         detailed description of the proposed physical or invasive inspection or
         testing, a list of contractors who will be performing the physical or
         invasive inspection or testing, evidence of insurance reasonably
         satisfactory to Seller and such other information as Seller


<PAGE>   8


         reasonably requires in connection with such proposed inspection or
         testing. Seller shall endeavor to respond to Purchaser's request for
         any such invasive or physical test or any mechanical or engineering
         inspection within three (3) business days.

             (b) All information provided by Seller to Purchaser or obtained by
         Purchaser relating to the Property in the course of Purchaser's review,
         including, without limitation, any environmental assessment or audit
         (collectively, the "Reports") shall be treated as confidential
         information by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts
         to instruct all of its employees, agents, representatives and
         contractors as to the confidentiality of all such information.

             (c) In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the
         Property, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall (i) not
         unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the
         Property, (ii) not unreasonably disturb any Tenant or unreasonably
         interfere with any Tenant's use of the Property pursuant to its
         respective Lease, (iii) not damage any part of the Property or any
         personal property owned or held by any Tenant or third party, (iv) not
         injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, the property manager
         or their respective guests, agents, invitees, contractors and employees
         or any Tenant or its guests or invitees, (v) maintain comprehensive

result in the breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any
agreement or instrument to which Purchaser, or any partner or related entity or

entity or affiliate of Purchaser, or any of Purchaser's assets is bound. The
Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5.3 shall
survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. Purchaser's
representations and warranties contained herein must be true and correct through
the Closing Date, the breach of same being a default by Purchaser under this
Agreement.

         5.4 Seller's Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

             (a) Seller represents and warrants to, and covenants with,
         Purchaser that:

             deliver this Agreement and to consummate the purchase and sale
             transactions provided for herein without obtaining any further
             consents or approvals from, or the taking of any other actions with
             respect to, any third parties. This Agreement, when executed and
             delivered by Seller and Purchaser, will constitute the valid and
             binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in
             accordance with its terms.

                 (ii) All bills and other payments due with respect to the

             the ordinary course of business.

                 (iii) From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller
             shall: (A) maintain and operate the Property in substantially the
             same manner as Seller has heretofore done; (B) continue all Leases
             and Contracts in full force and effect; and prior to the end of the
             Approval Period up until the Closing Date, neither cancel, amend or
             renew any of the same nor enter into a New Lease (hereinafter
             defined in Section 7.3(g) or Contract other than in the ordinary
             course of Seller's business, or from and after the end of the
             Approval Period, neither cancel, amend or renew any Lease or
             Contract nor enter into any new Lease or Contract without

             unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (C) not commit or
             permit to be committed any physical waste to the Property; and (D)
             not remove any item of the Tangible Personal Property from the Land

             equal value that is properly suited for its intended purpose. To
             the extent that Purchaser has approved renewal of a Lease or
             execution of a New Lease after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall
             assume and be obligated to pay all leasing commissions and tenant
             finish allowances thereunder.

             exists on the part of the landlord or Tenant thereunder; (B) Seller
             has received no written notice that such Tenant is asserting any
             claim of offset or other defense in respect of its or the
             landlord's obligations under its Lease; (C) Seller is the owner of
             the entire lessor's interest in such Tenant's Lease and neither the
             landlord's interest in and to the Leases nor the rents payable
             thereunder have been assigned, pledged or encumbered in any manner
             by Seller, except to Seller's mortgage lender which assignments and
             encumbrances will be released at or prior to Closing; and (D) no
             leasing commission in connection with the Property is as of the

                 (vi) Except as disclosed on Exhibit H, Seller has received no
             written notice of any action, suit, proceeding or claim presently
             pending in any court or before any federal, state, county or
             municipal department, commission, board, bureau or agency or other
             governmental instrumentality or before any arbitration, tribunal or
             panel, affecting (A) the Property, or any portion thereof, (B)
             Seller's title, use, operation or ownership of the Property, (C)
             the Contracts, or (D) Seller's ability to perform its obligations
             under this Agreement, nor, to Seller's Knowledge is any such
             action, suit, proceeding or claim threatened.

                 (vii) To Seller's Knowledge, there is no attachment, execution,
             general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or voluntary or
             involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, or proceedings under any debtor
             relief laws, contemplated by or pending or threatened against
             Seller or the Property. Seller has received no written notice, and
             otherwise has no Knowledge, of the introduction of any Hazardous
             Materials or violations of any Environmental Requirements affecting
             the Property.

                 (viii) Seller has received no written notice of any
             condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceedings being
             instituted or threatened against the Property by any governmental
             authority having jurisdiction over the Property.

                 (ix) Except as disclosed on Exhibit I, Seller has received no
             written notice from any governmental authority having jurisdiction
             over the Property that the Improvements and the current operation
             thereof violate any law, regulation,


<PAGE>   11


             ordinance, rule, order or other requirement of any governmental
             authority having jurisdiction over the Property.

                 (x) Seller has received no written notice from any governmental
             authority having jurisdiction over the Property of any proposed new
             assessment against the Property.

                 (xi) Brent Buck is Seller's authorized agent and has had direct
             involvement in the management and ownership of the Property
             throughout the time of Seller's ownership of the Property.

                 (xii) The Inspection Materials either delivered to Purchaser or
             made available to Purchaser for inspection constitute all of the
             documents and materials in Seller's and its property manager's
             possession coming within the definition of Inspection Materials.

             When used herein, the phrase "to Seller's Knowledge" or derivations
             thereof shall mean the current actual knowledge of Brent Buck,
             without any obligation to make any investigation or inquiry
             regarding the Property, and without obligation to make any
             investigation of the files, documents or studies in the possession
             of the property manager or other persons, and shall not include any
             knowledge which may be imputed to Seller or of any other person.
             Purchaser acknowledges that the individual named above is named
             solely for the purpose of defining and narrowing the scope of
             Seller's knowledge and not for the purpose of limiting Seller's
             liability or of imposing any liability on or creating any duties
             running from such individual to Purchaser. Purchaser covenants that
             it will bring no action of any kind against such individual,
             related to or arising out of these representations and warranties,
             but Seller acknowledges that Purchaser's waiver of the right to
             bring such action shall not in any manner limit Purchaser's rights
             with respect to asserting Seller's liability.

             (b) Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Section
         5.4(a) shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the
         instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of
         nine (9) months (the "Survival Period"). No broker, agent or party
         other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty
         for or on behalf of Seller. Purchaser shall have the right to bring an
         action against Seller for the breach of a representation or warranty
         hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (1) Purchaser first
         learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the
         Survival Period, and (2) Purchaser shall not have the right to bring a
         cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the
         damage to Purchaser on account of such breach (individually or when
         combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds
         $75,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any
         agreement contemplated by this Agreement, or any rights which Purchaser
         might otherwise have at law, equity, or by statute, whether based on
         contract or some other claim, any liability of Seller to Purchaser will
         be limited in the aggregate to $400,000.00. The general or limited
         partners, employees, agent or affiliates of Seller will not in any
         manner be personally or individually liable for the obligations of
         Seller hereunder or for


<PAGE>   12


         any claims related to this Agreement, any agreement contemplated by
         this Agreement or the Property. Seller shall not have any liability
         after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder
         of which Purchaser had knowledge as of Closing. The provisions of this
         Section 5.4(b) shall survive Closing.

         5.5 Defective Condition Extension; Termination. The obligations of
Seller hereunder are subject to and contingent upon the following:

                       In the event that subsequent to the execution of this
             Agreement Seller obtains knowledge of, or Purchaser's inspection of
             the Property reveals, either (i) the presence of any Hazardous
             Materials (as defined in Section 6.2 hereof) or the violation or
             potential violation of any Environmental Requirements (as defined
             in Section 6.3 hereof) or (ii) any structural or other defect in
             the Improvements, whether or not in violation of any applicable
             law, ordinance, code, regulation or decree of any governmental
             authority having jurisdiction over the Property (collectively, a
             "Defective Condition"), which Seller, in its reasonable judgment,
             determines could constitute a potential liability to Seller after
             the Closing or should be remedied prior to the sale of the
             Property, Seller shall have the right upon written notice to
             Purchaser on or before the scheduled Closing Date either (i) to
             extend the Closing Date for the period of time necessary to
             complete such remediation at Seller's sole cost and expense, or
             (ii) to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser,
             in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and
             neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder
             other than the Surviving Obligations. The terms of this Section 5.5
             are solely for the benefit of Seller, and Purchaser shall have no
             additional right or remedy hereunder as a result of the exercise by
             Seller of its rights under this Section.

                                       6.

             (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the
         day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the following

         (subject to the terms of Section 7.3(b) below) and Operating Expenses

         Closing Date, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the
         Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Date. Such
         preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a
         preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to
         Purchaser for Purchaser's written approval prior to the Closing Date

         (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing
         or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the

         Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made
         at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; such
         prorations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties without
         further adjustment. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance
         premiums, and Seller's insurance policies will not be assigned to
         Purchaser. Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made
         if possible as of the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be
         made at Closing with respect to utility bills. Seller will be entitled
         to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and
         Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits
         with the utility providers. "Rents" shall mean and include fixed
         monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation
         rentals (which include each Tenant's proportionate share of building
         operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the
         applicable Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop
         specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative
         charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues,
         storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone
         receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and
         charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or
         users of the Property, but excluding amounts received from Tenants
         under Leases for Operating Expenses. "Operating Expenses" shall mean
         operating expenses and common area maintenance charges, including
         utilities, insurance and other charges, under the Leases whether deemed
         additional rent or otherwise, but excluding Rents.

             (b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for
         the prorated amount (as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding
         the Closing Date) of all Rents previously paid to or collected by
         Seller and attributable to any period following Closing. Rents are
         "Delinquent" when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment
         thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date. Delinquent
         Rents will not be prorated. All sums collected by Purchaser from and
         after Closing from each Tenant will be applied first to current amounts
         owed by such Tenant to Purchaser and then to


<PAGE>   16


         Delinquent Rents owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller
         will be promptly remitted to Seller, but Purchaser shall be under no
         obligation to collect such sums. Should Seller receive any sums
         inadvertently or otherwise following Closing, Seller shall promptly
         remit said sums to Purchaser. Purchaser shall not have an exclusive
         right to collect any sums due Seller from Tenants under the Leases, and
         Seller hereby retains the right to pursue any Tenant under the Leases
         for any sums due such Seller for periods attributable to Seller's
         ownership of the Property; provided, however, Seller (1) shall be
         required to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller's intention to
         commence or pursue any legal proceedings; (2) shall only be permitted
         to commence or pursue legal proceedings after the date which is three
         (3) months after Closing; and (3) shall not be permitted to commence or
         pursue any legal proceedings against any Tenant seeking eviction of
         such Tenant or the termination of such Tenant's Lease. The provisions
         of this Section 7.3(b) will survive the Closing for one year.

             (c) All Additional Rents (as defined below) which have been
         received in respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the
         "Current Month") shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Such
         Additional Rents for the Current Month which have been received as of
         the Closing Date shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the
         number of days in the Current Month prior to, but not including, the
         Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of
         days in the Current Month from and after the Closing Date (which shall
         be allocated to Purchaser). In addition, Seller shall be credited on
         the Closing Date with its share of Rents and other Tenant charges and
         Additional Rents for the Current Month and for all periods prior to the
         Current Month which have not been received as of the Closing Date.
         Purchaser shall be solely responsible, after the Closing Date, for
         collecting unpaid Additional Rents. Additional Rents for calendar year
         2000 are paid on an estimated basis in monthly installments. At least
         five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to
         be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a reconciliation ("Additional
         Rents Reconciliation") of (1) actual operating and similar expense of
         the Property upon which Additional Rents are based ("Additional Rent
         Expenses") for the period commencing on January 1, 2000 and ending on
         the last day of the Current Month ("Additional Rents Reconciliation
         Period"), it being understood that certain Additional Rents Expenses
         for the Additional Rents Reconciliation Period, if not based on actual
         amounts (such as certain operating expenses for the Current Month), may
         be reasonably estimated by Seller; and (2) Additional Rents collected
         by Seller for that portion of the Additional Rents Reconciliation
         Period prior to the Current Month and Additional Rents payable for the
         Current Month. Any amount shown to be owed by Seller to the Tenants
         under the Additional Rents Reconciliation shall be credited to
         Purchaser at the Closing, and any amounts shown to be owed to Seller by
         Tenants of the Property under the Additional Rents Reconciliation shall
         be credited to Seller at the Closing. For purposes of this Section
         7.3(c), "Additional Rents" shall mean any and all amounts due from
         Tenants for Operating Expenses and any other Tenant charges other than
         Rents.

             (d) All ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes with
         respect to the Property (to the extent not prorated in Section 7.3(a)
         above) shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately
         preceding the Closing Date on a cash basis for the calendar


<PAGE>   17


         year in which the Closing occurs, regardless of the year for which such
         taxes are assessed.

             (e) Purchaser shall receive a credit against Purchase Price at
         Closing for all security deposits for which landlord has liability to
         Tenants under the Leases on the Closing Date and for all Rents made in
         advance (to the extent not prorated as set forth in Section 7.3(b)
         above).

             (f) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at
         Closing for all payments due or owing under any Contract for periods
         prior to the Closing Date, which amounts shall be prorated as of 11:59
         p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If Seller has
         paid any amounts under any Contract for periods after 11:59 p.m. of the
         day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay such
         amounts to Seller at Closing in addition to the Purchase Price. If any
         Contract requires more than thirty (30) days prior notice to terminate,
         then Purchaser must either (1) assume such Contracts pursuant to the
         Bill of Sale, or (2) pay to Seller at Closing, in addition to the
         Purchase Price, any amounts that will be due or owing under any such
         Contract for periods from and after the Closing Date until such
         Contract is terminable.

             (g) Seller shall receive a credit for any and all Reimbursable
         Lease Expenses (hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 7.9 of
         this Agreement and for any and all Reimbursable Capital Expenses, to
         the extent that the same have been paid by Seller prior to Closing.
         Each party shall make available to the other all records, bills,
         vouchers and other data in such party's control verifying Reimbursable
         Capital Expenses and the payment thereof. "Reimbursable Capital
         Expenses" shall mean costs or expenses for any capital expenditures or
         improvements made by Seller after the Effective Date hereof but before
         Closing as to which Purchaser has agreed in writing to reimburse
         Seller, or as otherwise listed on Exhibit J. "Reimbursable Lease
         Expenses" shall mean, collectively, those fees, costs and expenses
         listed on Exhibit K or otherwise as to which Purchaser has agreed in
         writing to reimburse Seller. Reimbursable Lease Expenses shall include,
         without limitation, (i) brokerage commissions and fees to effect any
         such leasing transaction (including, without limitation, any fees owed
         to any property manager), (ii) expenses incurred for repairs,
         improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other
         items to satisfy the Tenant's requirements with regard to such leasing
         transaction, (iii) legal fees for services in connection with the
         preparation of documents and other services rendered in connection with
         the effectuation of the leasing transaction, and (iv) expenses incurred
         for the purpose of satisfying or terminating the obligations of a
         tenant under a New Lease to the landlord under another lease (whether
         or not such other lease covers space in the Property). "New Lease"
         shall mean any Lease entered into in accordance with this Agreement
         between the Effective Date and the Closing Date.

         7.4 Closing Costs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
Seller shall pay, on the Closing Date, the title insurance premium for the
Owner's Policy allocable to standard owner's coverage for the amount of the
Purchase Price, the cost of the Survey, one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees and
other customary charges of the Title Company, and Purchaser shall pay, on the
Closing Date, the incremental cost of extended coverage and any endorsements to
the Owner's Policy or any charges associated with a loan policy, any documentary
stamp taxes or


<PAGE>   18


transfer taxes applicable to sale of the Property, all recording costs, one-half
(1/2) of any escrow fees and other customary charges of the Title Company.
Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall pay its own attorneys'
fees.

         7.5 Seller's Obligations at the Closing. At the Closing, or earlier as
specified below, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following:

             (a) Title Policy. The Owner's Policy. Purchaser, at Purchaser's
         sole expense, may elect to cause the Title Company to amend the survey
         exception to read "any shortages in area." The Owner's Policy shall be
         free and clear of all exceptions other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

             (b) Evidence of Authority. Such organizational and authorizing
         documents of Seller as shall be reasonably required by the Title

         Purchaser's lender specifies or contemplates another form of tenant
         estoppel certificate or SNDA, then such other specified or contemplated
         form) executed by Tenants representing at least eighty percent (80%) of
         the annual revenue from the Property with the exception of the
         national/credit Tenants at the Property, in which case one hundred
         percent (100%) of such estoppel certificates (collectively, the "Tenant
         Estoppel Certificates") and SNDA's shall be furnished. Unless within
         five (5) days after the end of the Approval Period, Purchaser furnishes
         Seller with an alternative form of SNDA required by Purchaser's lender,
         Seller will present the form attached to this Agreement to Tenants. For
         the purposes hereof, a national credit tenant shall mean GNC, J.
         Alexander's and Radio Shack.

             (b) Tenant Notices. Signed statements or notices to all tenants of
         the Property notifying such tenants that the Property has been
         transferred to Purchaser, that Purchaser is responsible for security

         tenants to pay rentals to Purchaser or its agent.

             (c) Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption of Personal Property,

         7.8 Purchaser's Assumption of Obligations. As additional consideration
for the purchase and sale of the Property, Purchaser covenants and agrees that
from and after Closing it will: (i) assume and perform all of the covenants and
obligations of Seller, Seller's predecessors in title and Seller's affiliates
(A) pursuant to the Leases and Contracts, including without limitation, those
relating to any security deposits, to the extent arising on or after the Closing
Date and (B) pursuant to the Leases regarding the physical, environmental or
legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before, on or after the
Closing Date; (ii) assume and agree to discharge, perform and comply with each
and every liability, duty, covenant, debt or obligation of Seller of any of its
affiliates resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to any licenses
and permits and arising on or after the Closing Date; and (iii) assume Seller's


<PAGE>   20


obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) any
Reimbursable Lease Expenses in accordance with Section 7.9 or any Reimbursable
Capital Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby
indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims,
liens, damages, demands, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments,
losses, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and
expenses) asserted against or incurred by Seller and arising out of the failure
of Purchaser to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.8. The
provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing without limitation.

         7.9 Lease Expenses. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for
any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same have been
paid by Seller prior to Closing. In addition, at Closing, Purchaser shall assume
Seller's obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or by
acceleration) any Reimbursable Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, and
Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against
any and all claims for such Reimbursable Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for
any reason at the time of Closing, which obligations of Purchaser shall survive
the Closing and shall not be merged therein. Each party shall make available to
the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party's control
verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.

                                       8.
                                  RISK OF LOSS

         8.1 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take
any of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof,
Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b)
consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller's assignable right,
title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be
assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the
Purchase Price.

         8.2 Casualty. Except as provided in Sections 5.2 and 6.1 of this
Agreement, Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury
occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or
cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property, or any part
thereof, suffers any damage in excess of the Casualty Amount prior to the
Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not
elect to repair, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this
Agreement, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such
damage and any deductible amount (less an amount equal to any expenses and costs
incurred by Seller to repair or restore the Property, provided written consent
of Purchaser is obtained for such expenses, and any portion of such proceeds
paid or to be paid on account of the loss of rents or other income from the
Property for the period prior to and including the Closing Date, all of which
shall be payable to Seller), to the extent the amount of such insurance does not
exceed the Purchase Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If the
Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage less than the Casualty Amount
prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and
accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus
an amount equal to Seller's deductible under its insurance policy and there
shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

                                       9.
                                     DEFAULT

         9.1 Breach by Seller. Except as Purchaser's remedies may otherwise be
expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the terms of Section 5.4):

             (a) In the event that Seller shall default in any of its
         obligations hereunder to be performed prior to Closing, for any reason
         other than Purchaser's default or a termination of this Agreement by
         Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the provisions
         hereof, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this
         Agreement, receive a refund of the Earnest Money and, subject to the
         provisions of Section 9.1(c) below, pursue Seller for actual damages
         incurred by Purchaser as a result of such default.

             (b) If Purchaser discovers prior to Closing that any representation
         or warranty made by Seller in Section 5.4(a) is not true and correct as
         of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date, then Purchaser may
         extend the Closing for up to thirty (30) days to investigate the
         pertinent facts, and Seller shall exercise reasonable, good faith
         efforts to remedy or cure such breach. In the event that such breach
         has not been cured or remedied to Purchaser's satisfaction prior to
         Closing, as the same may be extended, the sole and exclusive remedy of
         Purchaser shall be to either waive the breach and proceed to Closing or
         terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. Upon a
         termination of this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b), the Earnest
         Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any
         further obligations hereunder except for Surviving Obligations.

             (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate
         amount of actual damages which Purchaser may be entitled to recover
         against Seller pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) above exceed an amount equal
         to the amount of the Earnest Money and in no event shall Seller be
         liable to Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or consequential
         damages or to the remedy of specific performance.

             (d) If Seller is unable to deliver the requisite number of Tenant
         Estoppel Certificates or SNDA's, then Purchaser's sole and exclusive
         remedy and recourse shall be either to waive the requirement for the
         missing Tenant Estoppel Certificates and/or SNDA's and proceed to
         Closing without reduction in the Purchase Price or to terminate this
         Agreement by immediate written notification to Seller, in which event
         the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party
         shall have any further obligations hereunder except for Surviving
         Obligations.

         9.2 Breach by Purchaser.

             (a) If Purchaser fails to comply with Section 7 of this Agreement,
         Seller may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to
         the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and as
         Seller's sole remedy and relief hereunder (except for the Surviving
         Obligations). Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for
         liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the
         date hereof, the


<PAGE>   22


         amount of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Purchaser
         agree that these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for
         such breach.

             (b) In the event of any default by Purchaser under this Agreement,
         other than Purchaser's failure to comply with Section 7 of this
         Agreement, Seller shall have any and all rights and remedies available
         at law or in equity by reason of such default.

             The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not limit or affect any of
Purchaser's indemnities as provided in other Sections of this Agreement.

                                      10.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         10.1 Notices. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or
which are required to be given by either party to the other, and any exercise of
a right of termination provided by this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall
be deemed effective either: (a) on the date personally delivered to the address
specified in Section 1.1 above, as evidenced by written receipt therefore,
whether or not actually received by the person to whom addressed; (b) on the
third (3rd) business day after being sent, by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, addressed to the intended recipient at the address
specified in Section 1.1 above; (c) on the first (1st) business day after being
deposited into the custody of a nationally recognized overnight delivery service
such as Federal Express Corporation, Emery or Purolator, addressed to such party
at the address specified in Section 1.1 above; or (d) on the date sent by
facsimile to the fax number specified in Section 1.1 above to the attention of
the appropriate person, with a copy of the receipt being forwarded by overnight
delivery service as herein provided. A party may change its address for notice
by written notice to all other parties as herein provided.

         10.2 Real Estate Commissions. Seller shall pay to the Agent upon the
Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby, and not otherwise, a cash
commission in the amount agreed on in a separate listing agreement between
Seller and Agent. Said commission shall in no event be payable unless and until
the transaction contemplated hereby is closed in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; if such transaction is not closed for any reason, including,
without limitation, failure of title or default by Seller or Purchaser or
termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, then such commission
will be deemed not to have been earned and shall not be due or payable. Except

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out
of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have
been made by Purchaser or on Purchaser's behalf with any broker or finder in

         10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no oral
or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by
either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set
forth herein.

         10.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
instrument executed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

         10.5 Headings. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and do not in any way limit, amplify, or otherwise modify the
provisions of this Agreement.

         10.6 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement;
however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of
this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of
the United States, the State of Texas or the State, then, in such event, the
time of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.

         10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State and the laws of the United States pertaining to transactions in the State.

         10.8 Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall bind and
inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors and
permitted assigns. Except as otherwise hereinafter provided in this Section
10.8, Purchaser shall not assign Purchaser's rights under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld absolutely.
In the event Seller consents to such assignment, Purchaser and such assignee
shall execute and deliver an Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Any subsequent assignment may be made only
with the prior written consent of Seller. Except as otherwise hereinafter
provided in this Section 10.8, no assignment of Purchaser's rights hereunder
shall relieve Purchaser of its liabilities under this Agreement. This Agreement
is solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser; there are no third party
beneficiaries hereof. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of the
foregoing provisions shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without Seller's consent, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate
of Purchaser, and upon such assignment, Purchaser shall be released from
liability hereunder. For these purposes, "Affiliate" shall mean any person or
entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls,
is controlled by or is under common control with another person or entity. The
term "control" for these purposes means the possession, direct or indirect, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a
person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.

         10.9 Invalid Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such
provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Agreement.

attorneys' fees incurred in such suit.

         10.11 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number
of identical counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute collectively

other matters, provided, Seller shall not be obligated to bear any cost or
expense in connection therewith.

its affiliates or partners may purchase the Property to effect a tax deferred
