payable, subject to adjustments and apportionments as hereafter provided,
as follows:

<PAGE>

                  (a)   One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/00
($1,500,000.00) Dollars (the "Initial Downpayment") payable on or before
the date which is three (3) business days after the execution of this
Agreement by BSRT and Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (the "Escrow Agent"),
which shall be held in accordance with the escrow agreement, dated as of
the date hereof, by and among Sellers, BSRT, Buyer and the Escrow Agent
(the "Escrow Agreement"); and

                  (b)    One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/00
($1,500,000.00) Dollars (the "Additional Downpayment"; the Initial
Downpayment and the Additional Downpayment are collectively referred to
herein as the "Downpayment" ) at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the first business day following the Due Diligence Date (as hereinafter
defined), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Escrow Agent,
which shall be held in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and

                  (c)   Two Hundred Twenty-Three Million and no/00
($223,000,000.00) Dollars at the Closing by wire transfer to such
account(s) as Sellers shall designate (but in no event more than five (5)
such accounts) not less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing.

                  (d)   Interest on the Downpayment shall be paid to Buyer
unless Sellers are entitled to the Downpayment pursuant to Section 19.1
hereof.  In the event there is a Closing as set forth in Section 4 hereof,
such interest shall be paid to Sellers and credited against the balance of
the Purchase Price owed by Buyer to Sellers.

            2.2   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, prior
to the Due Diligence Date, Buyer elects to purchase one or more of the
Properties by acquiring the same subject to the Existing Indebtedness (as
hereinafter defined) encumbering the same (the "Surviving Existing
Indebtedness"), Buyer shall so notify Sellers in writing and this Agreement
shall be amended, inter alia, as follows:  1. such indebtedness will be
deemed a Permitted Exception with respect to such Properties, 2. the
portion of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be
reduced at the Closing by the then principal balance of such Surviving
Existing Indebtedness, 3. Section 7.1 shall be revised to add the delivery
of estoppel certificates from the holders of the Surviving Existing
Indebtedness indicating the then current principal balance, the status of
the interest payment, the amount of any escrow accounts, and that to the
best of such holders' knowledge there are no defaults then existing on the
part of the applicable Seller under the applicable loan documents, and a
consent from the applicable lender to Buyer acquiring such Property subject
to such Surviving Existing Indebtedness, as conditions to Buyer's
obligation to close, 4. Section 8 shall be revised to add an obligation on
the part of the applicable Seller(s) to comply with the terms of such
Surviving Existing Indebtedness between the Due Diligence Date and the date
of Closing, 5. Section 9.1 shall be revised to add the estoppel certificate
and consent from the applicable lender and certified copies of the loan
documents as documents to be delivered by the applicable Seller at the
Closing, and 6. Section 10.1 shall be revised to add an apportionment for
interest on such Surviving Existing Indebtedness and to provide that Buyer
shall reimburse the applicable Seller for all escrow accounts held by the
holder of the Surviving Existing Indebtedness (including, without
limitation, escrow accounts for capital improvements) as indicated on the
estoppel certificate.  Buyer acknowledges that Buyer may not acquire (i)
Property #12 and 13 (Johns Creek Office and Industrial Park), (ii) Property
#14, 15 and 16 (Technology Park) and (iii) Property #8 (Lexington Business
Center) subject to the Existing Indebtedness in favor of LaSalle Bank
National Association.

            2.3   Buyer has allocated the Purchase Price among the
Properties as set forth on Exhibit "E."

      (3)   INSPECTION BY BUYER.

            3.1   Buyer and Buyer's authorized agents and representatives
may, from time to time, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, prior to Closing,
during regular business hours, inspect all of the Properties and make such
tests, surveys, studies and inspections, and generally obtain such other
information and data, as Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, deem
necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, collection of soil
and groundwater samples and engineering studies.  Buyer agrees that it
shall be liable for and shall defend, indemnify and hold the Sellers, BSRT
and their officers, trustees and agents harmless from any, and all damages,
costs, expenses, liabilities or suits arising by reason of or related to
such entry and/or conduct of tests, surveys and inspections, including
attorneys' fees and the cost to repair and restore, which obligation shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.  Following the performance of
any such tests, surveys, studies and inspections, Buyer shall restore the
Properties to their condition prior to the performance thereof, which
restoration obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Such entry, tests, surveys and inspections shall not unreasonably interfere
with the tenants' use and enjoyment of their respective spaces.  Sellers
shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the exercise by Buyer of its
rights hereunder.  Such right to inspection and the exercise of such right
shall not constitute a waiver by Buyer of the breach of any representations
or warranty of the Sellers which might have been disclosed by such
inspection.  Sellers acknowledge that Buyer may communicate with the
tenants, property managers, service contractors and leasing agents of the
Properties, the title companies insuring Sellers, surveyors that have
supplied surveys with respect to any of the Properties  and/or the holders
of the Existing Indebtedness, and any party with whom a Seller has a
contractual relationship.  Buyer agrees that (i) if it shall meet with a
tenant of a Property, either in person or by telephone communication, on
more than one occasion, Buyer shall notify Seller at least one business day
prior to the date of such scheduled additional meeting(s) and allow Seller
or its agent to be present at such additional meeting(s) and (ii) it shall
not make any promises or representations to any tenant of a Property with
respect to any term or condition of a Tenant Lease.

            3.2   Sellers shall from time to time, prior to Closing, during
regular business hours, permit Buyer's accountants and authorized
representatives, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, to examine and photocopy
Sellers' books, the financial records of the Properties, tenant files,
operational logs and third party reports relating to the operation of the
Properties, including, without limitation, making such information
available as is necessary to conduct an audit of the Sellers' financial
information with respect to the Properties and the business conducted by
Sellers thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Sellers shall provide Buyer with such information as Sellers may have with
respect to actual expenditures made on all repairs, maintenance,
improvements, upgrades, operation and upkeep of the Properties, including
all taxes and utility payments within three years prior to Closing, and
dates of construction, installation and major repairs to the Properties.
Sellers shall make available to Buyer the managers of the Properties and
such other persons employed by or under contract with any Seller who have
knowledge of the operation of the Properties.  The provisions of Section 22
hereof shall be inapplicable with respect to any communications Buyer
and/or its agents may have with such persons.

            3.3   If, on or before March 30, 2001, Buyer shall give written
notice to Sellers that Buyer is dissatisfied with the result of Buyer's
investigation with respect to the Properties or the operation thereof, for
any reason, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, and except as
otherwise provided herein, neither Sellers nor Buyer shall have any further
liability or obligation to the other hereunder, but Buyer shall be entitled

<PAGE>

to a return of the Downpayment.  In the absence of such notice, this
Agreement shall remain in force.  The earlier to occur of (a) the date
Buyer waives in writing its right pursuant to this Section 3.3, or (b)
March 30, 2001 (assuming Buyer does not exercise its option pursuant to
this Section 3.3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Due Diligence
Date."  Buyer shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by Buyer in
connection with its investigation of the Properties except as set forth in
Sections 5.5, 18.5 and 19.2 hereof.  Prior to the Due Diligence Date, if
Buyer has not terminated this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Sellers which
Properties Buyer intends to acquire subject to the applicable Existing
Indebtedness.

            3.4   Prior to the Due Diligence Date, Sellers shall promptly
provide Buyer, upon Buyer's written request, with information and documents
relating to the Properties in the possession of BSRT, any Seller or their
respective agents and in furtherance of the inspections and examinations of
Buyer as contemplated in this Section 3, provided, however, that Sellers
and BSRT shall not be unreasonably required to repeatedly comply with the
same request.

      4.    CLOSING.

            4.1   The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the
"Closing") shall take place at Robinson Silverman Pearce Aronsohn & Berman
LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, at 10:00 A.M. on
April 30, 2001 or such other time (i) as may be agreed upon by the parties
or (ii) as may be set forth in this Agreement in any provision providing
for an extension of the date of Closing; provided, however, that by written
notice to Sellers, Buyer may elect to have the Closing take place at the
office of the attorneys for any lender providing financing to Buyer in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein (hereinafter
individually referred to as "Buyer's Lender").

      5.    CONDITION OF TITLE.

            5.1    On or before the Due Diligence Date, Buyer, at its sole
cost, shall deliver copies of a title insurance commitment and survey for
each Property to Sellers, and Sellers and Buyer shall agree upon a list of
permitted title exceptions for each Property (the "Permitted Exceptions")
and shall set same forth in an amendment to this Agreement.  The Permitted
Exceptions shall not include any liens in a liquidated amount, other than
Surviving Existing Indebtedness, or the right of first refusal with respect
to Property #12 (3851 Lakefield Drive, Suwanne, Georgia, constituting part
of the Johns Creek Office and Industrial Park), but shall include the
Ground Leases.  Sellers shall take no action nor shall Sellers refuse or
fail to take an action the result of which is to cause any encumbrances of
any kind to be placed upon any Property after the date hereof.  At the
Closing, title to each Property shall be good and marketable, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, easements, encumbrances, leases and
tenancies and without title company exceptions, disclaimers of liability or
objections, except for the Permitted Exceptions; and said title shall be
insurable as aforesaid at rates usually charged and with such affirmative
insurances as Buyer shall have notified the applicable Seller prior to the
Due Diligence Date, by the title insurance company or companies chosen by
Buyer (collectively, the "Title Company") to insure Buyer's title to such
Property.  Said title insurance policy shall also contain such other
affirmative insurances as are customarily obtained by buyers of similar
properties.

            5.2   All Improvements shall be within the boundaries of the
applicable Property and shall not encroach on the property of others,
except for non-material encroachments over which the Title Company is
willing to endorse the title insurance policy that the Title Company will
be issuing to Buyer.

<PAGE>

            5.3   Title to the Personalty and the Other Interests shall be
good and marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, chattel
mortgages, leases, trust receipts, conditional sales agreements, pledges,
title retention contracts, security, interests, tax liens or claims of
every kind, nature and description whatsoever, except [any leased
Personalty or Other Interests].  Sellers shall pay at Closing any sums
required to free the Personalty and the Other Interests of any such
interest of any third party and to cause the filing of any termination
statement or other document required to remove of record such interest of
any third party.

            5.4   Any instrument, assurance or deposit required to obviate
a defect in or objection to title shall be in such form, terms, condition
and amount as may be reasonably required by Buyer and/or Buyer's
institutional lenders in order for the Title Company to omit any defect,
objection or exception to title, and any such deposits shall be made with
the Title Company.

            5.5   If title to one or more Properties cannot be transferred
and/or conveyed to Buyer at the time of Closing in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement, then Sellers shall have the right to
adjourn the Closing by written notice to Buyer, which notice shall specify
a revised date of Closing not more than thirty (30) days after the original
scheduled date of Closing.  If Sellers shall be unable to cure such
condition after any such adjournment, Buyer shall have the option, to be
exercised in writing, (A) of taking such title as Seller can convey with
abatement of the Purchase Price to the extent of the cost of curing such
violations or conditions (not to exceed one-half of one percent (0.5%) of
the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Properties); or (B) of
terminating this Agreement with respect to any such affected Property (any
Property with respect to which this Agreement is terminated whether
pursuant to this Section 5.5 or any other provision of this Agreement is
hereinafter individually referred to as a "Rejected Property" and
collectively referred to as the "Rejected Properties"), in which event (x)
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the portion thereof allocated to
such Rejected Properties as set forth on Exhibit "E" and (y) (except as
otherwise provided hereunder) there shall be no further liability or
obligation on the part of Buyer or the applicable Seller with respect to
such Properties hereunder; or (C) if the portion of the Purchase Price
allocated to the Rejected Properties exceeds 6.64% of the Purchase Price,
of terminating this Agreement.

            5.6    Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.5
herein, if Buyer has terminated this Agreement with respect to a Rejected
Property as provided in Section 5.5 herein, the applicable Seller may
require that Buyer purchase any such Rejected Property by written notice to
Buyer within sixty (60) days after the date of Closing, if such Rejected
Property may be conveyed by the applicable Seller to Buyer in accordance
with the requirements of this Agreement within sixty (60) days following
the date of Closing.  Such notice shall be accompanied by the financial
information referred to in Section 9.1(r) together with an amended and/or
restated Disclosure Statement to the extent applicable to such Property.
If such notice is given as set forth above, Buyer shall purchase such
Rejected Property upon all of the provisions of this Agreement (for an
amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such
Property) within a reasonable period after receipt of such notice from such
Seller, but in no event to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of
such notice, provided Buyer's ability to obtain financing for the purchase
of such Property, and the terms and expenses of such financing, has not
been materially altered.  Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain in effect any financing commitments obtained with respect to
any Property with respect to which this Agreement has been terminated for
sixty (60) days after such termination.  If Buyer shall purchase such
Rejected Property from Seller in accordance with this Section 5.6, Buyer

<PAGE>

shall at the closing of such purchase, pay to the applicable Seller an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the reasonable fees and out-
of-pocket expenses reimbursed to Buyer as provided in Section 19.4 hereof
with respect to such Property, less any additional reasonable fees and out-
of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the delayed
conveyance of such Rejected  Property.

      6.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            6.1   The representations and warranties of Sellers and/or BSRT
are deemed to be modified by the disclosure statement which is attached
hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "P" (the "Disclosure Statement")
notwithstanding that any such representation or warranty is not expressly
so conditioned.  Sellers and/or BSRT may, from time to time, amend and/or
restate the Disclosure Statement, provided that in each such case Sellers
and BSRT provide Buyer with (i) a clean copy of such amended and/or
restated Disclosure Statement, (ii) if same is a restatement of the
Disclosure Statement, a blacklined version of such restated Disclosure
Statement clearly indicating any changes to the most recent Disclosure
Statement and the cumulative changes from the Disclosure Statement attached
hereto and (iii) a certification by Sellers and BSRT in the case of a
restated Disclosure Statement (or the applicable Sellers in the case of an
amended Disclosure Statement) that the amended and/or restated Disclosure
Statement is true and correct in all material respects and should be deemed
to be an amendment and/or restatement of the then applicable Disclosure
Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers and/or BSRT shall
provide Buyer with a restated Disclosure Statement no later than fifteen
(15) days prior to the Due Diligence Date and fifteen (15) days prior to
the date of Closing.  No amended and/or restated Disclosure Statement shall
limit or affect any right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 19 hereof if such amended and/or restated Disclosure Statement
discloses that the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in
this Agreement (as modified by the Disclosure Statement which is attached
hereto) are not true and correct in all material respects as of the date of
such amended and/or restated Disclosure Statement; provided, however, that
Buyer shall notify Sellers of Buyer's intention to exercise any such right
pursuant to Section 19 hereof within ten (10) days after receipt of any
such amended and/or restated Disclosure Statement, or shall be deemed to
have waived its right to so terminate this Agreement with respect to the
matters set forth in such amended and/or restated Disclosure Statement
(subject to the provisions of the next sentence).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the disclosure in any amended and/or restated Disclosure
Statement does not give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement, or if
Buyer waives such right pursuant to the previous sentence, Buyer shall
maintain the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 19 if
subsequent amendments and/or restatements of the Disclosure Statement
reveal additional misrepresentations or changes in condition which, when
added to those disclosed in any prior amended and/or restated Disclosure
Statement, give Buyer a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 19.

      6.2   Each Seller (and excluding BSRT), to induce Buyer to enter into
this Agreement and to purchase its Property, severally covenants, agrees,
represents and warrants to Buyer that the following matters are true as of
the date hereof with respect to such Property:

                  (a)   The only indebtedness encumbering such Property is
as set forth on Exhibits "D-1" through "D-30" attached hereto and made a
part hereof (the "Existing Indebtedness").  The documents comprising the
Existing Indebtedness are listed on Exhibits "D-1" through "D-30" and true
and correct copies thereof have been delivered to Buyer.  Except as set
forth on the Disclosure Statement attached hereto, all Existing
Indebtedness is prepayable at the Closing, whether by outright payment or
defeasance.  The Existing Indebtedness is in full force and effect, without
default by any party thereto.  The outstanding balance of the Existing
Indebtedness is as set forth on Exhibits "D-1" through "D-30."

<PAGE>

                  (b)   Exhibit "F" hereto is a complete and correct list
of all existing leases and licenses for any portion of such Property (the
"Tenant Leases") in effect as of the date hereof, setting forth, INTER
ALIA, with respect to each (i) the portion of such Property covered
thereby, (ii) the name of the tenant thereunder, (iii) the commencement and
expiration date of the term thereof, (iv) the monthly rental and other
payments the tenant is obligated to make thereunder, (v) the current
outstanding balance of all security deposits held thereunder, and (vi) the
information required pursuant to Sections 6.2(c) and (d) hereof.

                  (c)   There are no leases, tenancies, licenses or other
rights of occupancy or use for any portion of such Property other than the
Tenant Leases set forth in Exhibit "F".  Except as otherwise noted on
Exhibit "F", each of the Tenant Leases is valid and subsisting and in full
force and effect, has not been amended, modified or supplemented and the
tenant, licensee or occupant thereunder is in actual possession.  Correct
and complete copies of the Tenant Leases have been submitted by such Seller
to Buyer (the pages of which have been Bates stamped as set forth on
Exhibit "T" attached hereto) and represent the only Tenant Leases with
respect to such Property.  To the best knowledge of such Seller, no tenant
has asserted any claim, offset or defense which would in any way affect the
collection of rent from such tenant.  No written notice of default or
breach on the part of the landlord under any of the Tenant Leases has been
received by such Seller or its agents from the tenant, licensee or occupant
thereunder.  All decorating, repairs, alterations and other work required
to be performed by the landlord on or prior to the date of Closing, under
each of the Tenant Leases, or the cost thereof to be reimbursed to any such
tenants as an incident of such tenancy, has been performed or reimbursed or
will have been performed or reimbursed by such Seller at its cost prior to
the date of Closing.  No tenant, licensee or other occupant under any of
the Tenant Leases has any right or option to acquire the Property, or any
part thereof or interest therein.  The copies of the Tenant Leases
delivered to Buyer are true and correct and constitute the sole agreements
between such Seller and the respective tenants of such Property.

                  (d)   The rents set forth in Exhibit "F" are the actual
rents, income and charges presently being collected by such Seller under
the Tenant Leases and such Seller has no knowledge of any default by any
tenant under its lease.  No tenant, licensee or occupant under any of the
Tenant Leases is entitled to any concessions, rent-free occupancy,
allowances, rebates or refunds for any period subsequent to the date hereof
or has prepaid any rents or other charges for more than the current month.
No security deposits have been paid by any tenants of such Property which
have not heretofore been returned, except as set forth on Exhibit "F"
hereto.

                  (e)   No brokerage or leasing commission or other
compensation is or will be due or payable on or after the Closing to any
person, firm, corporation or other entity with respect to or on account of
any of the Tenant Leases, including with respect to any renewal terms which
have not yet begun or which have not been exercised (except for those
Tenant Leases entered into after the date hereof pursuant to Section 8.3
hereof).

                  (f)   To the best knowledge of such Seller, such Seller
has performed, and at Closing shall have performed, all obligations which
it has under the Tenant Leases, and all other agreements relating to such
Property, which obligations shall have accrued as of Closing.

                  (g)   Exhibit "G" attached hereto is a complete and
correct list of all existing management, service, equipment, supply,
maintenance, exhibitor's concession, union or collective bargaining
agreements with respect to or affecting such Property (the "Service
Agreements") and each of such agreements is in full force and effect and
has not been amended, modified or supplemented except as set forth on
Exhibit "G".  No written notice of default or breach by such Seller in the
terms of any Service Agreements has been received by such Seller or its
agents.  Such Seller has performed and at Closing, shall have performed all
obligations which it has under the Service Agreements.

<PAGE>

                  (h)   To the best knowledge of such Seller, such Seller
has all licenses, permits and approvals required for the ownership and
operation of such Property.  All charges and fees for such licenses,
permits and approvals have been paid in full.  Such licenses and permits
are assignable to Buyer without the requirement for any consent from any
third party and no such licenses or permits need to be in Buyer's name in
order for Buyer to be the beneficiary thereof.

                  (i)   The only Ground Lease Properties are (i) Property #
9 (6901 Riverport Drive, Louisville, Kentucky), (ii) Property # 26
(Technology Center, Huntsville, Alabama) and (iii) Property # 10 (Northlake
Tower Shopping Center, Atlanta, Georgia).  Such Seller is the owner of a
leasehold estate in the Ground Lease Property pursuant to the ground leases
described on Exhibit "H" attached hereto and made a part hereof
(individually referred to as a "Ground Lease" and collectively as the
"Ground Leases"), which Ground Leases have not been amended, modified or
supplemented except as set forth on such Exhibit "H".  The Ground Leases
are in full force and effect and no party thereto is in default thereunder.

True and correct copies of the Ground Leases have been delivered to Buyer.
The consent of each owner of a Ground Lease Property (each, a "Ground
Lessor") is required for the assignment of such Seller's interest therein
to Buyer.

                  (j)   Such Seller does not employ any persons in
connection with the management, operation or maintenance of the Property

                  (k)   Seller has received no notice to the effect that
the present use of such Property and the specific uses identified in the
Tenant Leases is in violation of the applicable zoning laws, ordinances and
regulations pertaining thereto.

                  (l)   Such Seller has not received from any governmental
authority, any notices requiring improvements or installations on or in
connection with such Property, or asserting, any violation of any
applicable law, regulation or other governmental requirement.  In the event
any such notices are served or received prior to Closing or if an
inspection by the applicable governmental authorities shall disclose that
such Property or any portion thereof is not in compliance with any
applicable law, regulation or other governmental requirement, such Seller
will effect full compliance therewith prior to Closing or as soon
thereafter as may be practical, provided however, that any work required to
effect such compliance shall be subject to Buyer's reasonable approval.  If
there is insufficient time to effect compliance prior to Closing, then at
Buyer's option, Buyer may extend the time for Closing until such compliance
is effected, or may close with a reduction in the Purchase Price for such
Property in an amount estimated by an engineer or architect satisfactory to
both Seller and Buyer as one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost
to cure the violations.

                  (m)    To the best knowledge of such Seller and except as
set forth on Exhibit "K" dealing with environmental matters, (a) no
hazardous substances, pollutants or wastes have been treated, stored or
disposed of, or otherwise deposited, or have leaked, spilled or been
placed, in, on, under or about such Property, including without limitation

thereof, a list of which documentation is set forth on Exhibit "K," and
which documentation, including all of the information contained therein
(and, separately, any environmental reports obtained by Buyer prior to the
Due Diligence Date), is deemed disclosed to and known by Buyer.   There are
no environmental liens against such Property.

                  (n)   Such Seller is the sole and absolute owner of the
Personalty and the Other Interests related thereto, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances, except for security interests to be discharged at
or before Closing hereunder.  Prior to Closing no such items of Personalty
or the Other Interests being sold hereunder will be removed from such
Property, unless replaced with items of comparable value.

                  (o)   The policies of insurance set forth on Exhibit "L"
hereto attached are currently in force.  Such Seller has not received any
written notice from any insurance company under the current policy which
has issued a policy with respect to such Property or from any board or fire
underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions) (a) claiming any
defects or deficiencies which have not been cured or corrected, (b)
requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work which
have not been performed, or (c) stating, in effect, that any of such
policies will not be renewed or will be renewed at a premium that is
materially greater than is presently payable therefor, subject to ordinary
market conditions and increases.

                  (p)   There is no action, suit or proceeding, pending or,
to the best of such Seller's knowledge, threatened against or affecting
such Property or any portion thereof, or the ability of any such Seller to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  (q)   Such Seller has no knowledge of any pending or
threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings which would affect
such Property.

                  (r)   Such Property is separately assessed by the
governmental authorities for taxing purposes.  Such Seller has delivered to
Buyer a copy of the latest real estate tax bill with respect to such
Property.  There are no proceedings or applications pending before any
governmental authority, department or agency with respect to the assessed
value of such Property.

                  (s)   No person, firm or entity other than Buyer has any
rights to acquire all or part of such Property.

                  (t)   There are no agreements relating to such Property
other than Tenant Leases, Ground Leases, the Permitted Exceptions, Service
Agreements and Telecommunications Agreements.

statements for the applicable Property which accurately portray the
operation of such Property in all material respects for the calendar years
1998 and 1999 (in each case to the extent such Seller owned such Property
during such period), and for the first ten (10) months of calendar year
2000.

                  (v)   Exhibit "A-1" through "A-30" attached hereto is a
complete and correct list of all real property owned and/or leased by
Seller or any affiliate thereof.

other instrument furnished or to be furnished to Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby,

any change in or effect on the business of such Seller that, individually

effects), is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the
business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations

company or trust action, and no other proceedings on the part of such
Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the

of such Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except

a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or
both could reasonably be expected to become a default) under, or give to
others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation
of, or result in the creation of a lien on any property or asset of such
Seller.

      7.    CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

            7.1   The obligation of Buyer under this Agreement to purchase
each Property from the applicable Seller is subject to fulfillment of each
of the following conditions (any one or more of which may be waived in
whole or in part by Buyer in writing at or prior to Closing):

                  (a)   The representations of such Seller and BSRT set
forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date of this
Agreement and at the time of Closing; provided, however, that Sellers shall
be entitled to an opportunity to cure any representation which is not true
and correct as of the date of this Agreement and/or the date of Closing in
accordance with the provisions of Section 19.1(b) hereof, unless the
inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty revealed in an amended
and/or restated Disclosure Statement has been waived by Buyer pursuant to
Section 6.1 hereof.

                  (b)   Each Seller shall have performed all material
covenants, undertakings and obligations required to be performed by such
Seller under this Agreement.

                  (c)   Buyer's receipt of estoppel certificates confirming
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.2(b), (c) and
(d) hereof, dated not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, in
the form of Exhibit "N" hereto from (i) tenants occupying not less than
eighty percent (80%) of the rentable square footage of each Property and
(ii) notwithstanding the requirement set forth in clause (i) above, any
tenant of such Property (other than a Government Tenant, as hereinafter
defined) (A) whose rent constitutes ten percent (10%) or more of the
anticipated monthly rents shown on the rent roll for such Property or (B)
which occupies or has the right to occupy (other than pursuant to any
unexercised option) 10,000 or more square feet of such Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall accept, in satisfaction of the
foregoing condition, estoppel certificates dated more than thirty (30) but

<PAGE>

not more than sixty (60) days prior to Closing if such estoppel
certificates are accepted by Buyer's Lender.  As used herein, "Government
Tenants" shall mean those tenants set forth on Exhibit "V" attached hereto
and made a part hereof.  In the calculation of the eighty percent (80%)
threshold in clause (i) above, any space occupied by a Government Tenant
shall be subtracted from the square footage of the applicable Property.
Each Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the reasons (if known) of the
failure of any tenant to deliver an estoppel certificate.  If a Seller is
unable to provide Buyer with the required estoppel certificates as set
forth in this Section 7.1(c), Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to
(x) extend the date of Closing for a period up to thirty (30) days, during
which period Buyer may seek to obtain the required estoppel certificates
(with the assistance of the  manager of such Property, if so requested by
Buyer) from any tenant of a Property failing to produce such estoppel
certificate or (y) terminate this Agreement with respect to any one or more
such Properties for which the applicable Seller has not obtained such
estoppel certificates.

                  (d)   If the updated rent rolls for all of the Properties
delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(k) hereof show anticipated monthly rents
for the month in which the Closing is scheduled that are less than 95% of
the aggregate rents payable under the rent rolls for all of the Properties
as set forth on Exhibit "F" attached hereto, then Buyer may elect, in its
sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the
Properties.  In the event that the updated rent rolls for any three (3) or
more Properties delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(k) hereof show
anticipated monthly rents for the month in which the Closing is scheduled
that are less than 90% of the aggregate rents payable under the rent rolls
for those Properties as set forth on Exhibit "F" attached hereto
(notwithstanding that the aggregated anticipated rents payable under the
updated rent rolls for all of the Properties are 95% or more of the
aggregate rents payable under the rent rolls for all of the Properties as
set forth on Exhibit "F" attached hereto), Buyer may elect, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Agreement with respect to any one or more of
such Properties.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence,
if (i) with respect to Property #14, General Electric Plastics is not a
tenant thereof as of Closing, or (ii) with respect to Property # 27, Mas-
Hamilton is not a tenant thereof as of Closing or (iii) with respect to
Property #20, Green Tree Financial is not a tenant thereof as of the
Closing, and (iv) substantially all of the space occupied by such tenant
(as described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) is not leased as of the
Closing, then such Property shall not be deemed to be a Property which
fails to meet the 90% threshold as set forth in this Section 7.1(d);
provided, however, that if substantially all of the space occupied by any
such tenant (as described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) is leased
as of the Closing, such Property or Properties shall be subject to the 90%
threshold set forth in this Section 7.1(d), and provided, further, that if
substantially all of the space occupied by all three such tenants is not
leased as of the Closing, only two of such Properties shall be deemed to be
Properties which fail to meet the 90% threshold set forth above.  For
purposes of determining the satisfaction of the foregoing 95% and 90%
thresholds, any rents (i) owed by a tenant of a Property who is more than
thirty (30) days delinquent or (ii) owed by any tenant of a Property who
has vacated or abandoned its premises or given notice of a lease
repudiation or rejection with respect to a Tenant Lease, shall not be
included in the calculation of the anticipated rents payable at such
Property.

                  (e)   Buyer's receipt, subject to Buyer's covenant to
cooperate as set forth in Section 8.4(a) hereof, of estoppel certificates
confirming the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.2(i)
hereof, dated not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, in the
form of Exhibit "J" attached hereto and made a part hereof from each Ground
Lessor, which estoppel certificates shall also indicate the consent of each

<PAGE>

Ground Lessor to the assignment of such Ground Lease to Buyer.  If the
applicable Seller is unable to provide Buyer with the required estoppel
certificate and consent as set forth in this Section 7.1(e), Buyer may
extend the date of Closing for a period up to thirty (30) days, during
which period Buyer may seek to obtain the required estoppel certificate
from any Ground Lessor failing to produce such estoppel certificate and
consent, and, upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Buyer may
terminate this Agreement with respect to any of such Properties for which
Buyer did not obtain an estoppel certificate and consent from such Ground
Lessor.

                  (f)   Buyer's receipt of the subordination nondisturbance
agreements referenced in Section 8.4(c)  hereof from (i) seventy-five
percent (75%) of the tenants described in clause (i) thereof and (ii)
ninety percent (90%) of the tenants described in clause (iii) thereof, in
each case calculated on the basis of square footage occupied and in each
case excluding any Government Tenants.  If the applicable Seller is unable
to provide Buyer with the subordination nondisturbance agreements required
in accordance with the foregoing thresholds, Buyer may extend the date of
Closing for a period up to thirty (30) days, during which period Buyer may
seek to obtain the required subordination nondisturbance agreement from any
tenant failing to produce such subordination nondisturbance agreement.  If
the applicable Seller provides Buyer with the subordination nondisturbance
agreements in accordance with the foregoing thresholds, Buyer nevertheless
may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Property for which either
(i) a subordination nondisturbance agreement with a tenant described in
Section 8.4(c)(iii)  hereof was not provided to Buyer, or (ii) seventy-five
percent (75%) of the tenants described in Section 8.4(c)(i) did not deliver
such subordination nondisturbance agreements, in each case calculated on
the basis of square footage occupied and excluding Government Tenants.

            7.2   The obligation of Sellers under this Agreement to sell
the Properties to Buyer is subject to fulfillment of each of the following
conditions (any one or more of which may be waived in whole or in part by
the applicable Seller in writing at or prior to Closing):

                  (a)   The representations of Buyer set forth in this
Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and at
the time of Closing.

                  (b)   Buyer shall have performed all material covenants,
undertakings and obligations required to be performed by Buyer under this
Agreement.

      8.    OPERATIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING.  Between the date of the execution
of this Agreement and the date of Closing:

            8.1   Each Seller, in accordance with its normal practices and
procedures, will continue to maintain and to make all repairs and
replacements to its Property so as to keep such Property in substantially
its present condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted and such Seller
shall operate and manage such Property in the same manner as such Property
is currently operating.  Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to lease vacant space.  Each Seller shall continue to expend funds
budgeted or planned for advertising, maintenance and capital improvements
with respect to its Property until Closing.  Each Seller shall maintain and
comply with the applicable insurance policy set forth on Exhibit "L."

            8.2   Each Seller shall terminate as of the Closing all Service
Agreements.  Buyer shall cooperate with Sellers by indicating to the
parties to such Service Agreements if Buyer intends to enter into similar
agreements with such parties for the period from and after the date of
Closing.  In the event Sellers are unable to terminate any such Service
Agreements prior to the date of Closing, Sellers acknowledge that Buyer
will not assume the same and Sellers shall indemnify Buyer from any
obligations under any such Service Agreements arising from and after the
date of Closing.

<PAGE>

            8.3   No contract for or on behalf of or affecting any Property
shall be negotiated or entered into which cannot be terminated as of and
after Closing without charge, cost, penalty or premium, and no
Telecommunication Agreement or Service Agreement shall be modified, without
the prior written consent of Buyer which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.  If any Seller shall enter into any contract and/or modify any
Telecommunication Agreement or Service Agreement in accordance with the
foregoing sentence, such Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer a copy of
such executed contract and/or modified Telecommunication Agreement or
Service Agreement.  Prior to the Due Diligence Date, Sellers may renew,
extend or modify, or enter into new leases with tenants, provided (i) each
such renewal, extension, modification or new lease satisfies the lease
conditions for the Property to which such lease relates as set forth on
Exhibit "Q" attached hereto and made a part hereof.  The applicable Seller
shall analyze the creditworthiness of the proposed tenant in accordance
with its standard leasing practices, and shall require such security for
the proposed tenant's obligations as is commercially reasonable under the
circumstances, (ii) such renewal, extension, modification or new lease
provides that the lease shall be subordinate to any existing or future
mortgages on the Property to which such lease relates without the execution
of any further instrument on the part of the tenant, and (iii) such
Seller(s) shall promptly provide to Buyer a copy of such executed renewal,
extension, modification or new lease.  On or following the Due Diligence
Date, no Tenant Lease shall be renewed, extended or modified, and no new
lease with a tenant shall be entered into, without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld by Buyer in its sole
discretion.  At the Closing, the costs incurred by any Seller in connection
with a new Tenant Lease (i.e., a Tenant Lease executed on or after the date
of this Agreement) for brokerage commissions and work allowances shall be
allocated between such Seller and Buyer, with Buyer responsible for a
fraction thereof whose numerator is the number of days in the term of the
new Tenant Lease (excluding any unexercised renewal terms) from and after
the Closing and whose denominator is the number of days in the term of such
new Tenant Lease (excluding any unexercised renewal terms).  The applicable
Seller shall be responsible for all such lease costs incurred in connection
with Tenant Leases executed prior to the date of this Agreement (except for
any lease costs with respect to any renewal options that have not been
exercised as of the date hereof, which lease costs shall be Buyer's
responsibility).  At the Closing, Exhibit "F" shall be amended to reflect
(i) any such new or revised Tenant Lease, (ii) any Tenant Lease which
existed as of the date hereof but was not listed on Exhibit "F", (iii) any
Tenant Lease that was listed on Exhibit "F" but did not exist as of the
date hereof and (iv) any Tenant Lease that was listed on Exhibit "F" but
which was terminated on or prior to the Closing.  A new Tenant Lease shall
be included in the calculation of the 95% and 90% thresholds set forth in
Section 7.1(d) hereof if such new Tenant Lease relates to space which is
leased and occupied as of the date hereof, and is represented to be leased
and occupied on Exhibit "F" attached hereto, but nevertheless becomes
unoccupied after the date hereof.  The anticipated rent payable as set
forth in any proposed Tenant Lease proposed following the Due Diligence
Date with respect to which Buyer withheld its consent, despite such
proposed Tenant Lease having satisfied the lease conditions set forth on
Exhibit "Q" shall also be included in the calculation of the aforementioned
95% and 90% thresholds.  Failure of Buyer to affirmatively object to any
proposed renewal, extension or modification of any existing lease or
service contract within three (3) business days after receipt of Seller's
request for approval or, in the case of any new lease or service contract,
within three (3) business days after such receipt of Seller's request for
approval, shall be deemed to be approval by Buyer.  If, after the Due
Diligence Date, Buyer withholds its consent to any proposed new lease that
satisfies the lease conditions for the Property to which such proposed new
lease relates as set forth on Exhibit "Q" attached hereto, and the
transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement do not close by reason

<PAGE>

of a default on the part of Buyer, or a failure of Buyer to satisfy any of
the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 herein, Buyer shall pay, upon
termination of this Agreement, the applicable Seller the amount of base
rent which would have been payable for the first one hundred twenty (120)
days of such proposed new lease (unless this Agreement is terminated by
reason of a failure of any of the conditions to Buyer's obligations to
perform under this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, in which
case Buyer shall not be required to pay such Seller such amount, except
that Buyer shall always be required to pay such amount for leases rejected
pertaining to Rejected Properties).  The applicable Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages by leasing any such
space after the termination of this Agreement, and any rents collected from
a tenant of such space with respect to the first one hundred twenty (120)
days after such termination shall reduce the amount otherwise owed by
Buyer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, if
this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 3.3 above, Sellers
shall have no right between the Due Diligence Date and the Closing to
terminate any Tenant Lease without Buyer's prior written consent, which
consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole discretion and which consent shall
not be deemed given solely by reason of Buyer's failure to respond to a
request for consent.  In the event a Seller enters into a lease which such
Seller was not permitted to enter into pursuant to this Section 8.3, at the
Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the
amount by which the economic terms set forth in Exhibit "Q" for such
Property exceed the economic terms of such lease for the term of such
lease.

            8.4  (a)  Sellers shall submit estoppel certificates in the
forms hereto attached as Exhibit "J" to the Ground Lessors and, subject to
Buyer's covenant to cooperate as set forth in Section 7.1(e) hereof,
Sellers shall make diligent good faith effort to obtain executed
counterparts thereof prior to Closing.  Buyer hereby covenants with BSRT
and the Sellers, at Buyer's expense, to cooperate with all reasonable
nonmonetary requirements of the Ground Lessors that may be a condition to
obtaining estoppel certificates and/or consents therefrom; provided that
(i) if any Ground Lease expressly requires payment to a Ground Lessor of a
fee or legal fees in connection with obtaining an estoppel certificate
and/or consent, then the applicable Seller shall pay all such expressly
required fees, (ii) the applicable Seller shall be entitled to a credit in
the amount of any cash security deposit under the Ground Lease with respect
to Property # 9 (6901 Riverport Drive, Louisville, Kentucky) (or, if such
security is in the form of a letter of credit, Buyer shall be obligated
within sixty (60) days after the Closing to replace such letter of credit
or the applicable Seller may cause such letter of credit to be canceled
after sixty (60) days following the Closing), and (iii) if any Ground Lease
is silent as to the payment of a fee or legal fees or a security deposit,
and if the Ground Lessor requires any such fee, legal fees or security
deposit as a condition of granting its consent, then neither the applicable
Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to pay such fee, legal fees or security
deposit.

             (b)  Sellers shall submit estoppel certificates in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "N" to all tenants of the Properties and make
diligent good faith effort to obtain executed counterparts thereof prior to
Closing.

            (c)  After the Due Diligence Date, Sellers shall submit
subordination, nondisturbance agreements in the form to be delivered by
Buyer on or before the Due Diligence Date to a. all tenants designated in
writing by Buyer on or before the Due Diligence Date whose Tenant Leases
are not subordinate by their terms to a mortgage encumbering the applicable
Property, b. all tenants designated in writing by Buyer on or before the
Due Diligence Date whose Tenant Leases require delivery of such an
agreement from any lender, and c. all Major Tenants (as hereinafter
defined), and make diligent good faith effort to obtain executed
counterparts thereof prior to Closing.

<PAGE>

            8.5   Sellers shall not apply any of the security deposits
under the Tenant Leases except with respect to those Tenant Leases
terminated with Buyer's consent pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof.

            8.6   Except as is required in connection with an action
commenced by one or more of BSRT's shareholders, BSRT and the Sellers shall
not amend or otherwise change their respective organizational documents.
BSRT and the Sellers shall submit to Buyer on or before the third day after
adoption a copy of any plan of liquidation or dissolution that BSRT and/or
the Sellers may adopt.

            8.7   Sellers shall send notices of prepayment (which may be
expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing) to the holders of
any Existing Indebtedness which is not Surviving Existing Indebtedness.

            8.8   At or before the Closing, BSRT and Sellers shall (i)
satisfy all loans previously made to BSRT and/or Sellers (other than the
Surviving Existing Indebtedness) and (ii) satisfy all liens and
encumbrances in a liquidated amount against any and all of the Properties.

            8.9   Promptly after the date hereof, BSRT Johns Creek L.L.C.,
the owner of Property # 12 (consisting of a portion of the Johns Creek
Office and Industrial Park Property), shall send written notice to Williams
Die & Mold, Inc. ("Williams"), together with such information as is
required pursuant to the Second Amendment to Lease dated as of June 6, 2000
between BSRT Johns Creek L.L.C. and Williams with respect to such Property.

If Williams exercises its right of first refusal with respect to such
Property, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property and
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by deducting therefrom the portion of
the Purchase Price allocated to such Property in Exhibit "E."

            8.10  At least thirty-five (35) days prior to the Closing,
Sellers shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
that the sale of the Properties to Buyer hereunder is not subject to, and
does not subject Buyer to liability under, Section 902(d) of the Illinois
Income Tax Act (the "Act").  If said evidence is not so delivered to Buyer,
then Sellers shall, or Buyer may, notify the Illinois Department of Revenue
(the "Department") of the intended sale and request the Department to make
a determination as to whether Sellers, or any of them, have an assessed,
but unpaid, amount of tax, penalties or interest under the Act.  Sellers
agree that Buyer may, at the Closing, deduct and withhold from the proceeds
that are due Sellers the amount necessary to comply with the withholding
requirements of said Section 902(d).  Buyer shall deposit the amount so
withheld in escrow with Escrow Agent pursuant to terms and conditions
acceptable to Sellers, Buyer and Escrow Agent, but in any event complying
with said Section 902(d).

      9.    PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO CLOSING.

elect, and together with lease files containing, without limitation, all

applicable Seller shall use diligent efforts (including the payment of
reasonable fees, if any) to cause the tenant on whose behalf such letter of

the same in Buyer's name as of the date of Closing.  If notwithstanding
such efforts, the applicable Seller is unable to cause any such letter of
credit to be reissued in Buyer's name, then, following the Closing and upon
Buyer's written request, and until such time as the applicable Seller shall
have dissolved, such Seller shall draw the funds available with respect to
such letter of credit and pay same to Buyer.  If a Seller is requested by
Buyer to draw upon any such letter of credit, Buyer shall indemnify such

reason of drawing on such letter of credit.

efforts to obtain such approvals (including the payments of fees, if any,

                  (b)   Prepaid assignable license and permit fees.

                  (c)   Prepaid rents from tenants (including tax and
similar escalations).

                  (d)   Unused tenant decorating or other allowances
specifically granted to tenants whose Tenant Leases have commenced prior to
the Closing date.

                  (e)   Rent under the Ground Leases.

                  (f)   Minimum or basic rents received prior to the date
of Closing shall be prorated.  In the event that on the date of Closing,
any tenant is in arrears in the payment of minimum or basic rent ("Base
Rents") or for utility, common area, merchant association, realty taxes,
operating expenses or similar charges (collectively, the "Additional
Rent"), the first amounts collected after the Closing by Buyer from such
tenant shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to
the amounts due for the month in which the Closing occurred, (ii) second,
to the amounts then due for the period after the month in which the Closing

<PAGE>

occurred, and (iii) third, to the amounts due for the period before the
month in which the Closing occurred.  The applicable Seller may seek during
the first sixty (60) days after the Closing to collect such delinquent Base
Rents and/or Additional Rent through all lawful means available to such
Seller except that such Seller may not initiate or continue any action or
proceeding against any such tenant.  With respect to any amounts collected
by the applicable Seller during the first sixty (60) days after the Closing
pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amounts shall be applied in the
following order of priority: (i) first, to the amounts due for the month in
which the Closing occurred, (ii) second, to the amounts due for the period
before the month in which the Closing occurred, and (iii) third, to the
amounts then due for the period after the month in which the Closing
occurred.  Any such amounts not collected by Buyer or such Seller during
such sixty (60) day period shall belong to Buyer if as and when received.
Buyer shall disclose to any tenant who inquires that Base Rents and
Additional Rent collected during the first sixty (60) days after the
Closing shall belong to the applicable Seller.  Promissory notes delivered
by all tenants of a Property who are listed on Exhibit "F" attached hereto
to the applicable Seller (or its predecessor) shall also be assigned to
Buyer.  Percentage rents shall be apportioned based upon when the sales
giving rise to the same occurred, rather than as if such sales were
distributed proportionately throughout the year.

                  (g)   Additional Rent received prior to the date of
Closing which relate to a period beyond the Closing shall be credited to
Buyer.  Sellers shall perform the 2000 reconciliations of actual expenses
to estimated expenses prior to February 15, 2001 and the applicable Seller
shall be entitled to any amounts received as a result of such 2000
reconciliations prior to the Closing and shall be liable for any portion of
any overcharges payable to tenants of the applicable Property.  Buyer shall
perform the 2001 reconciliations of actual expenses to estimated expenses
and the applicable Seller shall not be entitled to any portion of the
amounts payable as a result of such 2001 reconciliations and shall not be
liable for any portion of any overcharges payable to tenants.

                  (h)   Current real estate taxes and any other amounts,
including incineration charges, the nonpayment of which could become a lien
against a Property, the apportionment of which shall be based on the fiscal
period assessed.  If any such charges have not been paid as of the Closing
but are payable by tenants, when such charges are paid by the tenant, Buyer
will remit to the applicable Seller any amounts paid to Buyer pursuant to
this Section 10.1(h) in connection therewith.

                  (i)   Buyer shall reimburse the applicable Seller for all
brokerage commissions and tenant work allowances paid by such Seller with
respect to Tenant Leases executed after the date of this Agreement to the
extent set forth in Section 8.3 hereof.

                  (j)   Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Buyer
shall replace or cause to be replaced the utility bonds set forth on
Exhibit "U" attached hereto.  The applicable Seller shall be permitted to
cancel, terminate or otherwise retire any such bonds not replaced by Buyer
within such sixty (60) day period.

            10.2  Each Seller shall furnish readings of the water, gas and
electric meters at its Property to the Adjustment Date.  Each Seller shall
cooperate with Buyer to provide, as of the Closing, for a cancellation of
electricity and other utility services in such Seller's name and a
resumption thereof in Buyer's name.

            10.3  All transfer taxes imposed on or in connection with this
transaction shall be paid by the applicable Seller.

<PAGE>

            10.4  At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the
balance of the Purchase Price in the amount of the cash security deposits
under the Tenant Leases, including interest thereon, if required, pursuant
to the Tenant Leases.

            10.5  At Closing, Buyer shall pay all prepayment fees,
assumption fees and other charges imposed by the holders of the Existing
Indebtedness in connection with the satisfaction of such Existing
Indebtedness or the acquisition of any Properties subject to Surviving
Existing Indebtedness, other than the principal balance of any Existing
Indebtedness which is not Surviving Existing Indebtedness and any amounts
payable to the holders of the Surviving Existing Indebtedness which accrued
and were payable prior to the Closing.

            10.6  Except for the Rejected Properties, if any, at or before
Closing, the applicable Seller shall pay such fees as are required in order
19. to assign to Buyer all permits, licenses and approvals reasonably
necessary for the operation of the Properties which are required by
applicable law to be in the name of Buyer and 20. to terminate all Service
Agreements.  Buyer, at no cost or expense to itself, shall reasonably
cooperate with the applicable Seller as may be necessary to effectuate the
assignment(s) and terminations contemplated in this Section 10.6.

      11.   CASUALTY LOSS.

            11.1  Each Seller shall maintain in effect until the time of
Closing the insurance policies now in effect with respect to its Property.
If at any time prior to the date of Closing any portion of such Property is
destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty, such Seller
shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer and, within thirty (30)
days thereafter, shall provide Buyer with an estimate of the cost of
restoring such Property to the condition it was in immediately before such
damage or destruction, and whether any tenant of such Property shall have
the right to terminate its Tenant Lease as a result of such fire or
casualty (the "Casualty Info Notice").  If the cost of restoring such
Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the date
of such casualty exceeds ten (10%) percent of the portion of the Purchase
Price allocated to such Property as set forth on Exhibit "E," as reasonably
estimated by Buyer, or if any Major Tenant (hereinafter defined) of such
Property shall have the right to terminate its Tenant Lease as a result of
such fire or casualty, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement with respect
to such Property by sending written notice thereof to the applicable Seller
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Casualty Info Notice, except
that if Closing is less than fifteen (15) days following Buyer's receipt of
the Casualty Info Notice, Closing shall be delayed a reasonable time but
not to exceed fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof by Buyer.  As used in
this Agreement, the term "Major Tenant" shall mean any tenant of a Property
(i) whose rent constitutes ten percent (10%) or more of the rent roll for
such Property or (ii) which occupies or has the right to presently occupy
(which right shall include any space for which such tenant is awaiting the
completion of a buildout) 10,000 or more square feet of such Property.

            11.2  If this Agreement is not terminated with respect to a
Property which was so damaged, the applicable Seller shall assign to Buyer
at Closing all rights under such Seller's insurance policy, to collect rent
insurance from and after the Closing and the proceeds to repair or restore
such destruction or damage.  In addition, Buyer shall receive a credit
against the balance of the Purchase Price equal to the sum of the amount of
any deductible under said policy and the amount of any proceeds collected
by such Seller prior to the Closing except for the proceeds of rent
insurance attributable to a period prior to Closing.  No Seller shall
adjust or settle any claim under said policy without Buyer's approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Buyer
shall otherwise pay the full amount due under this Agreement and accept
such Property in its damaged condition.  If this Agreement is terminated
with respect to a Property which was so damaged, the Purchase Price shall

<PAGE>

be reduced by the portion thereof allocated to such Property as set forth
on Exhibit "E," all references in this Agreement to such Property and the
applicable Seller shall be deemed deleted, and the remainder of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

      12.   EMINENT DOMAIN.

            12.1  In the event of a taking by eminent domain proceedings or
the commencement of any such proceedings which prevents the operation of a
Property in substantially the manner presently operated, Buyer shall have
the right, at Buyer's option, to terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Property by giving written notice to the applicable Seller the sooner
of (i) fifteen (15) days after Buyer received written notice of such
proceedings or (ii) on or before the date fixed for Closing hereunder.  If
Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, or there has been a taking of
any part of such Property which does not give to Buyer the option to
terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property, the Purchase Price
(and the portion thereof allocated to such Property) shall be reduced by
the total of any awards or other proceeds received by the applicable Seller
(directly or indirectly, e.g., awards or other proceeds received by the
holder of any mortgage encumbering such Property) with respect to any such
taking, and at the Closing the applicable Seller shall assign to Buyer all
rights of such Seller in and to any awards or other proceeds payable by
reason of any taking.  If this Agreement is terminated with respect to a
Property which was so taken, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
portion thereof allocated to such Property as set forth on Exhibit "E," all
references in this Agreement to such Property and the applicable Seller
shall be deemed deleted, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect.

            12.2  Each Seller agrees to notify Buyer of any eminent domain
proceedings within five (5) days after such Seller learns of such
proceedings.  Until such time as Closing has occurred, or this Agreement
terminates, any negotiation for, or agreement to, and all contests of any
offers and awards relating to eminent domain proceedings shall be conducted
with the joint approval and consent of the applicable Seller and the Buyer.

      13.   POSSESSION.  Possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer
at the time of Closing, unoccupied and free of any leases, claims to or
rights of possession, except for the rights of possession of the tenants
under the Tenant Leases and such other parties who are entitled to
possession pursuant to the Permitted Exceptions.

      14.   BROKERAGE.  Each Seller and BSRT represent and warrant to Buyer
that they have not dealt with any broker or other intermediary to whom a
fee or commission is payable in connection with or relating to the sale and
purchase which is the subject of this Agreement, other than CFC Advisory
Services Limited Partnership ("Cohen").  Buyer represents and warrants to
the Sellers and BSRT that Buyer has not dealt with any broker or other
intermediary to whom a fee or commission is payable in connection with or
relating to the sale and purchase which is the subject of this Agreement,
other than Cohen.  Sellers, BSRT and Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any and all liability, claim, charge or
damages, including without limitation, counsel fees and court costs,
incurred by the other as a result of any breach by the indemnitor of the
foregoing representations.  Sellers and BSRT shall pay a fee to Cohen in
connection with this transaction, in accordance with a separate agreement.
Buyer represents that it has not utilized the services of Cohen or any
affiliate of Cohen in connection with the financing of this transaction.

<PAGE>

      15.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This is the entire agreement between the
parties and there are no other terms, obligations, covenants,
representatives, statements or conditions, oral or otherwise, of any kind
whatsoever; provided, however, Sellers and/or BSRT shall have the right to
deliver one or more amended and/or restated Disclosure Statements pursuant
to Section 6.1 and/or 6.3 hereof.  Any agreement hereafter made shall be
ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of this
Agreement in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing, and
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification,
discharge or abandonment is sought.

      16.   SURVIVAL.  All warranties and representations of Sellers and
BSRT shall survive Closing until the earlier to occur of (A) the one year
anniversary of the Closing or (B) the date which is fifteen (15) days prior
to the liquidation or dissolution of BSRT and the Sellers, provided that
(i) BSRT and the Sellers provide Buyer with notice of such pending
liquidation or dissolution not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
anticipated date thereof and (ii) such liquidation or dissolution shall not
occur less than six (6) months after the Closing (the date which is the
earlier to occur of (A) or (B) shall be referred to herein as the "Survival
Date").  All such warranties and representations of Sellers and BSRT shall
not be deemed to have merged into the deeds.  No Seller shall have any
liability to Buyer for any alleged breach of warranty or representation
made in this Agreement, unless written notice thereof is given by Buyer to
BSRT and/or such Seller and Escrow Agent prior to the Survival Date, which
notice shall state the nature of any such alleged breach and the amount
Buyer claims to have been damaged thereby with reasonable specificity, in
which event the claim stated in said notice shall survive for the
applicable period of the statute of limitations pertaining thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no warranty or representation of any
Seller which is confirmed by an estoppel certificate from a tenant, the
owner of a Ground Lease Property or the holder of Surviving Existing
Indebtedness shall survive Closing, and (ii) no warranty or representation
of any Seller the inaccuracy of which is actually known by Kristine
Burnitis, Steven Denholtz, Stuart Green, Neil Heilberg, Michael Jaffe or
Ken Mayo, so long as they are employees of Buyer or an affiliate thereof,
at or before the Closing shall survive the Closing.  Buyer shall be deemed
to have knowledge of all information contained in any third party reports
relating to the Properties that were provided to Buyer prior to the Due
Diligence Date.   BSRT, by its signature at the end hereof, hereby agrees
to guaranty the payment and performance of the obligations of each Seller
pursuant to this Section 16.  As the sole security for performance by
Sellers and BSRT of their obligations after the Closing and as the sole and
full recourse for any obligation of Sellers and/or BSRT pursuant to this
Section 16, a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of $1,500,000
shall be paid to Escrow Agent to be held in escrow in accordance with the
Escrow Agreement (the "Escrowed Amount").  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
BSRT and Sellers shall also reserve an adequate amount of funds in
consideration of all of the existing circumstances to pay for any known
uninsured potential liability or contingency of BSRT and /or Sellers.

      17.   NOTICES.

      18.   INQUIRIES AND NEGOTIATIONS.

            18.1  OTHER NEGOTIATIONS.  Following the date hereof and until
Closing or termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, BSRT and
Sellers shall not (and they shall instruct their respective officers,
directors, trustees, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates not
to), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, seek, or encourage
(including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other
action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that
constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition
Proposal (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, any
Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) participate in any
discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise
cooperate in any way with respect to, or assist or participate in or
facilitate, any Acquisition Proposal with any person, corporation, entity
or "group," as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (each, a "Third Party"), other than Buyer and its
affiliates, representatives and agents, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing
contained in this Section 18.1 shall prohibit BSRT or Sellers (individually
or in the aggregate) from (i) furnishing non-public information with
respect to BSRT and Sellers (pursuant to a customary confidentiality
agreement) to any person or entity that makes an unsolicited bona fide
Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof, (ii) participating in
negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal if, and only to the extent
that, a majority of the disinterested members of BSRT's Board of Trustees
determines in good faith that (x) such action is required by its fiduciary
duties under applicable law or BSRT's Organizational Documents, and (y) the
Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a
Superior Proposal and (z) BSRT complies with the provisions of Section 18.3
hereof, and (iii) responding to routine shareholder inquiries in accordance
with applicable law and/or BSRT's Organizational Documents.  Nothing in
this Section 18.1 shall (i) permit BSRT to terminate this Agreement (except
as specifically provided in this Agreement), (ii) except as otherwise
provided herein, permit BSRT to enter into any agreement with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal during the term of this Agreement (it being agreed
that during the term of this Agreement, neither BSRT nor any of the Sellers
shall enter into any agreement with any person that provides for, or in any
way facilitates, an Acquisition Proposal) or (iii) affect any other
obligation of any party under this Agreement.

            18.2  TERMINATION OF EXISTING ACTIVITIES.  Upon execution of
this Agreement, BSRT and Sellers will immediately cease and terminate any
existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted
heretofore with respect to any of the activities set forth in Section
18.1(i) or (ii) above.

            18.3  NOTIFICATION TO BUYER.  (a)  BSRT and Sellers shall
promptly (but in any event within one business day) advise the Buyer in
writing of any proposal or offer that is received by, any information is
requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be
initiated or continued with, BSRT and/or Sellers in respect of an
Acquisition Proposal or any written inquiry regarding the making of an
Acquisition Proposal and shall notify the third party of BSRT's and
Sellers' obligation under this Agreement (without any reference to Buyer)
and shall, in the notice to Buyer, indicate the material terms and
conditions of any Acquisition Proposal that, in the good faith
determination of BSRT's Board of Trustees, constitutes, or is reasonably
likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal.  BSRT and Sellers shall not release
any Third Party from, or waive or amend any provision of, any existing
confidentiality or standstill agreement.

<PAGE>

                  (b)   At any time after BSRT or Sellers receive an
Acquisition Proposal that, in the good faith determination of BSRT's Board
of Trustees, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior
Proposal, BSRT may request that Buyer notify BSRT in writing, within two
(2) business days after receipt of the notice from BSRT, of the amount of
the expenses incurred, to the date of Buyer's response, by Buyer in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without
limitation, any professional and consulting fees incurred in connection
with negotiating this Agreement, the investigations performed pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof and preparation for closing the transactions
contemplated hereby, and any fees payable in connection with the debt or
equity necessary to consummate the transactions set forth herein
(collectively, "Buyer's Costs").  Within five (5) business days after
receipt of such notice from Buyer, BSRT shall notify Buyer whether such
Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.  If BSRT does not so
notify Buyer within such five (5) business day period, the Acquisition
Proposal shall be deemed not to be a Superior Proposal.

            18.4  BOARD APPROVAL.  Neither BSRT's Board of Trustees nor any
committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or
modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, the approval by BSRT's Board of
Trustees or any such committee of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement unless (i) the Board of Trustees or
committee, if any, determines in good faith, that the Acquisition Proposal
constitutes a Superior Proposal, that this Agreement is no longer in the
best interests of the holders of BSRT's shares of beneficial interest
("Shares") and that withdrawal or modification is required to satisfy its
fiduciary duties to the holders of Shares under applicable law or BSRT's
Organizational Documents, and (ii) BSRT has complied with the provisions of
Section 18.3.

            18.5  PAYMENT OBLIGATION.  If a Payment Event (as hereinafter
defined) occurs, Sellers shall notify Buyer and Escrow Agent, and Buyer
shall be entitled to the payments set forth in Section 19.2(e).  BSRT and
Sellers acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 18 and
the payments set forth in Section 19.2(e) hereof are an integral part of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these
agreements, Buyer would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if BSRT
and Sellers fail to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section
19.2(e), and, in order to obtain such payment, Buyer commences a suit that
results in a judgment against BSRT or Sellers for any amount set forth in
Section 19.2(e), BSRT and Sellers shall also pay to Buyer its reasonable
costs and expenses incurred (including, without limitation, fees and
expenses of counsel) in connection with such litigation.

            18.6  SURVIVAL.  The payment obligations of BSRT and Sellers
contained in Section 19.2(e) shall survive termination of this Agreement,
and are intended to benefit Buyer and shall be binding on the successors
and assigns of BSRT and Sellers.

            18.7  TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                  (a)   In addition to the rights of termination provided
in Section 19 herein, BSRT and Sellers may terminate this Agreement prior
to the Closing and enter into a binding written agreement for a transaction
that constitutes a Superior Proposal (each, an "Acquisition Agreement") if:

                        (i)   BSRT and Sellers are not in breach of their
obligations under this Section in any material respect and have complied
with all requirements and procedures of this Section in all material
respects;

<PAGE>

                        (ii)  BSRT notifies the Buyer (the "Notice") that
it intends to enter into an Acquisition Agreement and terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 18, attaching to the Notice a complete
unredacted copy of the most current version of the written agreement for
the transaction constituting a Superior Proposal, provided that Buyer shall
maintain in confidence and not disclose the contents of the written
agreement in accordance with Section 22 hereof; and

                        (iii) Buyer has not made within the immediately
succeeding five (5) business days after its receipt of the Notice such
adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that BSRT's Board
of Trustees reasonably and in good faith determines, in the exercise of its
fiduciary duties, are at least as favorable to BSRT's shareholders as the
Superior Proposal (in which case BSRT and Buyer will enter into an amended
agreement reflecting Buyer's adjustments to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement).  BSRT and Sellers agree (x) that they shall not enter into
a binding Acquisition Agreement until at least the 6th business day after
Buyer has received the Notice, and (y) to notify Buyer promptly if their
intention to enter into a binding Acquisition Agreement referred to in the
Notice shall change at any time after giving the Notice.  Buyer and BSRT
acknowledge and agree that if BSRT sends a Notice to Buyer later than the
sixth day immediately preceding the date of the Closing, the date of the
Closing shall be appropriately delayed to allow for the time periods
described in this Section 18.7 to be fulfilled. BSRT and Sellers
acknowledge and agree that each successive material amendment to any
Superior Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes

representation or warranty of Buyer shall have become materially untrue, in
either case after written notice from Sellers and BSRT and a reasonable

or other similar event of Buyer or any filing with respect thereto;

<PAGE>

                  (a)   If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant
to:

                        (i)   Section 19.1(a) hereof (unless the decree,

acts of Buyer, other than entering into this Agreement);

                        (iii) Section 19.1(e) hereof;

                        then Buyer shall be entitled to:

                        (x)   an immediate return of the Downpayment; and

                        (y)   be reimbursed by Sellers or BSRT for all of
the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  (b)   If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant

precedent set forth in Section 7.1(c), (e) or (f) hereof, then Buyer shall
be entitled to an immediate return of the Downpayment.

                  (c)   If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant

precedent set forth in Section 7.1(d) hereof, then Buyer shall be entitled
to:

                        (i)   an immediate return of the Downpayment; and

                        (ii)  be reimbursed by Sellers or BSRT for fifty
percent (50%) of the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred

                        (ii)  Section 19.1(g) hereof;

                        then BSRT and Sellers shall be entitled to
immediately retain the Downpayment as set forth in Section 20.1.

                  (e)   If this Agreement is terminated by BSRT or Sellers
pursuant to Section 19.1(d) hereof, then as a condition precedent of such
termination, Buyer shall be entitled to:

                        (i)   a return of the Downpayment;

                        (ii)  the payment of Three Million and no/100
Dollars ($3,000,000.00) from BSRT or Sellers within one (1) business day of
such termination; and

<PAGE>

                        (iii) reimbursement from BSRT or Sellers of the
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall not exceed the
amount set forth in the notice Buyer delivered to Seller pursuant to
Section 18.3(b) hereof.

                  (f)   If following the termination of this Agreement
(other than pursuant to Section 19.1(d) hereof), a Payment Event occurs,
then within one (1) business day following the occurrence of such Payment
Event, Buyer shall be entitled to the payment of Three Million and no/100
Dollars ($3,000,000.00) from BSRT or Sellers.

            19.3  Upon the payment by BSRT and/or Sellers of Buyer's costs
and expenses pursuant to Section 19.2(a) and (c) hereof, Buyer shall (i)
promptly provide BSRT, without representation, warranty or recourse, with
all title, survey, environmental, structural engineering and property
condition reports and all other similar reports prepared by third parties
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and relating to the
Properties (except, without limitation, all reports prepared by the
attorneys, financial advisers, accountants or similar professionals for
Buyer or Buyer's Lender), to the extent the cost therefor is part of
Buyer's costs and expenses so reimbursed by BSRT and/or Sellers, unless
such reports were previously delivered to Sellers hereunder, or unless such
reports are not made available to Buyer by Buyer's Lender, and (ii) if
necessary, execute, from time to time, appropriate consents allowing such
reports to be reissued to Sellers or other parties, at no cost to Buyer.

            19.4  Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to
any Rejected Property as provided in Section 5.5(B) hereof, Buyer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed at Closing for the reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to such Rejected Property.  Upon
the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Rejected Property as
provided in Section 19.1(f) on account of the failure of the condition
precedent set forth in Section 7.1(d), Buyer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed at Closing for fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to such Rejected Property.

      20.   DEFAULT.

            20.1  If this Agreement is terminated by reason of the default
of Buyer, then Sellers shall have the right to retain the Downpayment as
and for liquidated damages under this Agreement.  The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge that the actual damages which may be sustained by reason of
Buyer's default are not easily computed, and the sum agreed upon above is
fair and reasonable.  Sellers' right to the liquidated damages payable
under this Section 20.1 shall be Sellers' sole remedy against Buyer by
reason of Buyer's default hereunder and shall be in lieu of any and all
equitable remedies otherwise available to Seller by reason of Buyer's
default, including, but not limited to the right to recover the Purchase
Price and any other damages, all of which are hereby waived by Sellers.

            20.2  Sellers and BSRT recognize that certain actions will be
taken by Buyer in reliance on this Agreement and that Buyer will suffer
irreparable harm, whose value cannot be determined, if this Agreement is
breached by Sellers and/or BSRT.  Based upon the unique consideration to be
received by Buyer, Sellers and BSRT acknowledge that specific performance
of this Agreement may be demanded.

      21.   MISCELLANEOUS.

            21.1  The captions in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the
scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

            21.2  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

            21.3  This Agreement shall be governed by and shall be
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Illinois.

            21.4  At any time, either before or at the Closing, Buyer may
assign this Agreement without consent of Sellers to any affiliate or
related entity of Buyer.  If Buyer does so assign this Agreement, Buyer may
supplement and/or modify the representations and warranties as set forth in
Section 6.4 herein to reflect the assignment.  At the Closing, Buyer may
assign this Agreement (or Buyer's right to acquire one or more Properties)
without consent of Sellers to one or more entities unaffiliated with Buyer.

Any assignment of this Agreement by Buyer other than as permitted in the
preceding two sentences shall be subject to Sellers' approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld.  Upon any such assignment at or prior to the
Closing, Buyer shall remain liable for the performance of its obligations
hereunder.  Upon any such assignment at the Closing, Sellers shall accept
the assignee's performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement in
lieu of Buyer, and upon the satisfactory completion of such performance,
Buyer shall be relieved of its liability hereunder (except as provided
herein).

            21.5  Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver each to the
other such documents and instruments, take such further actions, and shall
cooperate with each other, both before and after the Closing as may be
reasonably necessary or required to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

            21.6  In the event of any action or proceeding brought by
either party against the other pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of its attorneys in such action or proceeding.

      22.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

            22.1  The Confidentiality Agreement dated as of August 21, 2000
between Buyer and Cohen, as modified by first Amendment to Confidentiality
Agreement dated October 30, 2000 among Buyer, Cohen and BSRT, is hereby
terminated, null and void and of no further force or effect.

            22.2  For purposes of this Section 22, "Information" means all
written or oral information concerning or relating to the business
operations, assets, policies, financial status or other related business
information regarding BSRT or the Properties, including, but not limited
to, all information obtained pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

            22.3  Buyer agrees to treat all Information as confidential and
proprietary information and shall not disclose, except as otherwise
required by law, regulation or legal process or otherwise permitted by this
Agreement, any Information to any person other than employees and officers
of Buyer, affiliates, professional advisors, prospective financing sources,
prospective capital providers or prospective equity partners or
participants, prospective acquirers, rating agencies or regulatory agencies
and any other person or entity that Buyer deems necessary to evaluate and
close the transaction contemplated hereby, and the representatives of the
foregoing (collectively "Buyer's Representatives"), in each case on a "need
to know basis," each of whom Buyer agrees shall be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information, without the prior written consent
of BSRT and shall not utilize the Information for any purpose other than in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

            22.4  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

                  (a) portions of the Information contain confidential and
proprietary information;

                  (b)  any unauthorized disclosure or use of the
Information by Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives not authorized under
this Agreement or by BSRT may cause irreparable harm and loss to BSRT for
which there is no adequate remedy at law;

                  (c)  the Information is disclosed by BSRT and Sellers to
Buyer solely for the use by Buyer and Buyer's Representatives in analyzing
and evaluating and effectively executing the transactions contemplated
hereby;

                  (d)  the disclosure of the Information to Buyer does not
constitute a general release of such information by BSRT;

                  (e)  except for Buyer's Representatives, Buyer shall not
disclose to any person that the Information has been made available to
Buyer or disclose to any person any portion of the Information;

                  (f)  Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall not use for
any purpose any portion of the Information except to evaluate and
effectively execute the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the
terms hereof, and shall abide by BSRT's reasonable determination that the
Information is confidential and acknowledges that Buyer's strict compliance
with each of the terms and conditions of this Section 22 is necessary to
preserve the confidentiality of the Information;

                  (g)  Buyer shall, at its option, as soon as practicable
after notice from BSRT, either return to BSRT, or destroy (and on BSRT's
request, certify to BSRT in writing such destruction) all written
Information, without retaining any copy thereof (except (i) for
documentation of Buyer's confidential work paper records, (ii) as required
by regulatory agencies and (iii) for one copy of such Information to be
used solely in connection with legal proceedings), upon any termination of
this Agreement.  As soon as practicable after notice from BSRT, Buyer shall
destroy (and certify to BSRT in writing as to such destruction) all
documents, memoranda, analyses, compilations, studies, notes and other
writing whatsoever prepared by Buyer or Buyer's Representatives based in
whole or in part on the information contained in the Information (except
(i) for documentation of Buyer's confidential work paper records, (ii) as
required by regulatory agencies and (iii) for one copy of such Information
to be used solely in connection with legal proceedings); and

                  (h)  It is Buyer's responsibility to insure that Buyer's
Representatives comply with the terms of this Section regarding the
Information, and Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
BSRT and Sellers from and against all losses, costs, reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by BSRT and Sellers as a result of the
breach by Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives of such terms and
conditions of this Section 22.  Any damage claims which BSRT may have as a
result of a breach of this Section 22 shall not include punitive,
consequential, special or indirect damages.

            22.5  This Section 22 shall be inoperative as to particular
portions of the Information if such Information (a) is now or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by
Buyer or Buyer's Representatives, (b) lawfully becomes available to Buyer
on a non-confidential basis from a source other than BSRT or Sellers, or
their respective agents, advisors or representatives, or (c) is known, or
lawfully in the possession of  Buyer or Buyer's Representatives at the time
Buyer or Buyer's Representatives receives such Information.  A disclosure
or retention of Information shall not constitute a breach hereof to the
extent a disclosure and/or retention of such Information, in the opinion of

<PAGE>

Buyer's or Buyer's Representatives' legal counsel, is required by
applicable law or regulation or either by a court or governmental agency
with competent jurisdiction or in connection with a litigated dispute.
Moreover, this Section 22 shall be inoperative with respect to any
communications set forth in the last two sentences of Section 3.1 hereof,
provided that Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall not disclose any
Information to tenants, property managers or service contractors unless
Buyer reasonably believed that such Information was available and/or known
to such tenants, property managers or service contractors.

            22.6  It is understood and agreed that money damages would not
be a sufficient remedy for any breach or attempted breach of this Agreement
by Buyer, its employees, officers, directors or Buyer's Representatives.
BSRT and Sellers shall be entitled to seek specific performance and
injunctive relief for any such breach or attempted breach of this
Agreement, and such relief shall be in addition to all other remedies
available to BSRT or Sellers at law or in equity, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 22.4(h) hereof.

            22.7  This Section 22 shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.  Buyer
hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois or the United States District Court in the Northern District of
Illinois in respect to any dispute arising from this Section.

            22.8  The obligations imposed on Buyer and Buyer's
Representatives under this Section shall continue until the earlier to
occur of (a) if this Agreement is terminated, nine (9) months from the date
of this Agreement and (b) if the Closing contemplated hereunder occurs, the
date of Closing, to the effect that if the Closing occurs, BSRT and Sellers
shall have no rights or remedies under this Section 22.  With respect to
any Rejected Property, the obligations imposed on Buyer and Buyer's
Representatives under this Section shall continue for nine (9) months
following the date of this Agreement.

            22.9  Buyer acknowledges that certain of the Information may be
of a material and non-public nature, the possession of which may result in
Buyer and/or certain of its principals being legally barred from trading in
the public securities of BSRT.  Buyer shall not attempt to solicit any
proxies from shareholders of BSRT for a period of one year from the date
hereof.

            22.10 Buyer and Sellers have agreed upon press releases to be
issued promptly after the execution of this Agreement.

            22.11   Buyer agrees that, prior to Closing, Buyer shall not
voluntarily disclose to anyone (other than Buyer's Representatives and
Buyer's Lender), including any governmental authority, any Information
Buyer may discover as a result of its own due diligence efforts with
respect to any Property being in violation of any applicable law,
regulation or other governmental requirement, except as may be required by
any regulatory agencies.
