AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
This SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OR PURCHASE AND SALE AND JOINT ESCROW
INSTRUCTIONS (this "Second Amendment") is made and entered into as of this 19th

Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership ("Buyer"), with reference to the
following facts and circumstances:
A. Seller and Buyer have heretofore entered into that certain Agreement
of Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of October 8, 1997
(the "Purchase Agreement").
B. Seller and Buyer have heretofore amended the Purchase Agreement by
entering into that certain First Amendment to Agreement or Purchase and Sale and
Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of October 15, 1997 ("First Amendment"). The
Purchase Agreement as amended by the First Amendment is hereinafter referred to
as the "Amended Purchase Agreement".
C. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning afforded such term in the Amended Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other valuable

any rights under Section 2.4 of the Amended Purchase Agreement to receive Units.

assume the Existing Loan. Buyer is further willing to guaranty the Existing Loan
and provide an environmental indemnity on behalf of the new, single purpose
entity in the form of the existing guaranty and environmental indemnity
documents. Nevertheless, it shall remain a condition of the Closing that said
lender under the Existing

Loan approve and consent to the assumption of the Existing Loan pursuant to
assumption documents reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and without imposing

Loan.
