of this Agreement within two (2) business days after executing this
Agreement. Escrow Holder shall, immediately upon its receipt of the Deposit
and executed Agreement, execute and deliver to Buyer and Seller the Consent
and Acceptance of Escrow Holder attached to this Agreement, which Consent
and Acceptance of Escrow Holder shall specify the date of such receipt (the

the date of recordation of the Deed (hereinafter defined) for purposes of
calculating prorations under Article 10 below, and provided further that in
no event shall the Closing Date occur after February 1, 1999, unless the
parties otherwise agree in writing. If the Closing does not occur on or
before the Closing Date, then Buyer or Seller, if not in default under this
Agreement, may at any time thereafter give written notice to Escrow Holder
to cancel the Escrow whereupon the Escrow and the subject transaction shall
become terminated and Escrow Holder shall distribute all monies and
documents in Escrow Holder's possession in accordance with this Agreement
and all additional mutual instructions as the parties may provide. Such
cancellation of the Escrow shall not prejudice or limit any legal or
equitable rights of Buyer or Seller, except as may be limited by Article 12
below.
4. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price payable by Buyer for the
Property (the "Purchase Price") at the Closing is Fourteen Million Four Hundred

subject to satisfaction or Buyer's written waiver of the following conditions
precedent (collectively, "Buyer's Conditions") on or before the expiration of
the applicable contingency period provided for below (collectively, the
"Contingency Periods"). If the respective Buyer's Condition has not been
satisfied or waived in writing, then at Buyer's option, this Agreement and the
Escrow shall be deemed terminated and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any
further obligation to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent
of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before
such termination, which indemnities shall survive any such termination). If
either party terminates the Escrow in accordance with the preceding sentence,
Escrow Holder shall, without requiring any further instructions, immediately
return the Deposit plus any interest accrued thereon to Buyer.
5.1. DUE DILIGENCE DELIVERIES BY SELLER. Seller shall provide, to
the extent it has not already provided prior to the date of this Agreement,

that Buyer has requested from Seller for Buyer's examination and review of
the Property and all aspects thereof.
5.2. DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATION. Buyer shall have the right to
investigate, review and approve (and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with Buyer in connection with such investigation and review) the
physical, developmental and economic status and feasibility of the
Property, including without limitation marketing studies, land use and
legal due diligence, engineering studies, soils tests, physical inspections
and environmental surveys with respect to the Property. The Contingency
Period for such investigation, review and approval shall expire on December
24, 1998. In order to facilitate Buyer's investigation and analysis,
Seller hereby grants to Buyer the right to enter the Property at any time
during normal business hours upon forty-eight (48) hours' prior written
notice to Seller, to conduct such inspections, reviews, examinations and
tests on the Property as Buyer deems necessary or desirable to investigate
the physical condition of the Property, as well as access to relevant
information relating to the Property within Seller's possession or under
Seller's control (but Seller has made and now makes no representation or
warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of such information).
Seller may, at its option, have a representative present at any such
inspection or review. Buyer further acknowledges that it is acquiring the
Property in its "as-is" condition in accordance with Section 19 below.

5.4. STATUS OF TITLE AND SURVEY. Buyer shall have the right to
investigate, review and approve title to the Property; provided, however,
that if Buyer intends to obtain extended coverage title insurance in
connection with this Agreement, then Buyer shall obtain at its sole cost
and expense a current as-built survey of the Property complying with 1992
ALTA/ACSM minimum standards (the "Survey"). The Contingency Period for
such investigation, review and approval shall expire on December 15, 1998.
Buyer shall be deemed to have approved all exceptions to title shown in
that certain owner's title commitment for the Property dated as of
September 14, 1998, issued by the Title Company under its File No. FA-192
587R2 (the "Title Report") and matters shown on the Survey (if any) other
than those exceptions or matters identified on EXHIBIT D attached hereto
("Disapproved Title Exceptions"), which Disapproved Title Exceptions Seller
shall remove (or cause to be removed) as exceptions to title prior to the
Closing. Buyer shall have the continuing right to update the Title Report
and the Survey from time to time and to give Seller notice of any
additional Disapproved Title Exceptions first arising after the date of the
Title Report or the Survey, as the case may be. Within ten (10) business
days following receipt of any written notice of such additional Disapproved
Title Exceptions from Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of which
of such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions Seller will agree to cure
on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall satisfy
and correct, at or before the Closing, any Disapproved Title Exceptions
constituting a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering all or any
portion of the Property (other than liens created by Buyer's acts or
omissions) or otherwise created by Seller's acts or omissions on or after
the date of this Agreement ("Mandatory Cure Items"). In the event Seller
elects not to satisfy or cure any such additional Disapproved Title
Exceptions of which it is so notified, then, within ten (10) business days
following receipt of Seller's election, Buyer shall by written notice to
Seller elect one of the following:
5.4.1. To waive such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions
and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to
any Disapproved Title Exception which is a Mandatory Cure Item,
Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy or remove any such Disapproved
Title Exception(s) at the Closing and to credit against the Purchase
Price the amount required to satisfy or remove such Mandatory Cure
Item(s); or
5.4.2. To terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer
shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit and the
parties hereto shall have no further rights, duties or obligations
under this Agreement, except those rights, duties and obligations
that, by the express terms hereof, survive termination of this
Agreement.
5.5. OWNER'S POLICY. On or before the Closing, the Title Company
must be prepared to issue to Buyer an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance for
the Property (the "Title Policy") effective as of the Closing, insuring
Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that title to the Property is
vested in Buyer at the Closing, subject only to (a) standard pre-printed
exceptions (other than those preprinted exceptions that can be removed with
a customary seller's affidavit), (b) liens for taxes and assessments not
yet delinquent, (c) those exceptions to title described in the
corresponding Title Report other than the Disapproved Title Exceptions and
(d) exceptions created or suffered by Buyer. Buyer may require an extended
coverage policy without a generic survey exception only if Buyer can
-4-
timely provide Title Company with all information necessary in order for
the extended coverage policy to be issued on or before the Closing Date.
Seller shall not suffer any liability in connection with its failure to
remove any title exception; Buyer's sole remedy for Seller's failure to
cause the elimination of a Disapproved Title Exception shall be termination
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause the
removal of any Mandatory Cure Item at or before the Closing.
5.6. SELLER'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Seller has not (i) made an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) filed a petition in

BY BUYER; (C) CLAIMS ON ACCOUNT OF BUYER'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, AND (D) ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER INCIDENT TO
CLAUSES (A) THROUGH (C). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT BUYER
OBJECTS TO, FAILS TO COOPERATE WITH OR OTHERWISE OPPOSES SELLER'S WITHDRAWAL OF
THE DEPOSIT OUT OF THE ESCROW, SELLER SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE REMEDIES OTHERWISE
AVAILABLE TO SELLER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

14.15. AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. Subject to the provisions
in Section 14.11 hereof, Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer
that, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect, Seller

interest or estate therein) without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

agreements which will survive the Closing Date. Seller shall not enter
into Service Contracts from and after the date of this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or
withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that
Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer that, so long as this
Agreement remains in full force and effect, Seller will continue to operate
and manage the Property in substantially the same manner as it has been
operated and managed in the past.
14.16. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. Seller shall maintain in full
force and effect all existing policies of insurance relating to the
Property through and including the Closing Date, shall pay all premiums
with respect to such insurance on or before the due date therefor and shall

remain in full force and effect or fail knowingly to take any action
required to maintain such insurance in full force and effect.
14.17. FIXTURES. All fixtures and articles of Personal Property
included in and which are part of the sale are now, and at the Closing will
be, owned by Seller free and clear of any conditional bills of sale,

Buyer as a part of the transaction.
14.18. SECURITY DEPOSITS. Security deposits shown in the certified
rent roll are a full, true and complete list of all of the security
deposits for the Property and are now held by Seller and Seller's property
manager under the terms of the Leases, and none have been forfeited by any
existing tenant.
14.19. NON-FOREIGN STATUS. Seller is not a "foreign person" as that
term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and Buyer has no obligation under
the Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 to withhold and pay over to the
Internal Revenue Service any part of the "amount realized" by Seller in the
transaction contemplated hereby (as such term is defined in the regulations
issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 1445).
14.20. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS RE-MADE AT CLOSING.
The foregoing warranties and representations are true, and the foregoing
covenants are in full force and effect and binding on Seller as of the date
hereof and shall be in full force and effect and deemed to have been
automatically reaffirmed and restated by Seller as of the Closing Date.
-12-
For purposes of this Section 14, "Seller's actual knowledge" shall mean the
knowledge of (i) J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxxx and (iii) Xxxx Xxxxxxxx
without any duty of investigation or inquiry and "notice" shall mean written
notice. The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive the Closing
for six (6) months, and any claim made by Buyer against Seller with respect
thereto must be asserted within such six-month period.
15. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The accuracy and
completeness of the following constitute a condition to the Closing, and Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller that the following is complete and accurate as
of the date of this Agreement and shall be complete and accurate as of the
Closing, and shall survive the Closing: Buyer is duly organized and validly
existing and is (or will at the Closing be) qualified to conduct its business
and has the legal power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All requisite
action (corporate, partnership, trust or otherwise) has been taken by Buyer in
connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The individual executing this
Agreement on behalf of Buyer has the legal power, right and actual authority to
bind Buyer to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement and
all documents required by this Agreement to be executed by Buyer are and are
valid, legally binding obligations of and enforceable against Buyer in
accordance with their terms. The foregoing warranties and representations are
true, and the foregoing covenants are in full force and effect and binding on
Buyer as of the date hereof and shall be in full force and effect and deemed to
have been automatically reaffirmed and restated by Buyer as of the Closing Date.
16. CONDEMNATION. If all or any material portion of the Property is
taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking
which has not been consummated) before the Closing, then (a) Seller, if Seller
has actual knowledge thereof, shall notify Buyer of such fact and (b) Buyer
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Escrow
Holder and Seller given no later than thirty (30) business days after Seller has
given such notice. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a portion of the
Property shall not be deemed material unless the taking thereof diminishes the
rentable area of the building or the recreation facilities or restricts access
to the Property. If this Agreement is so terminated, then (i) Buyer shall pay
all costs associated with the cancellation of the Escrow pursuant to this
Section, (ii) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or
obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under
this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination, which
indemnities shall survive any such termination), and (iii) Escrow Holder shall,
without requiring any further instruction from Seller, immediately return to
Buyer the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon. If Buyer does not terminate
this Agreement within such thirty-day period, then (A) Buyer shall not
thereafter have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such taking
and (B) Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with this
Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, except that
(1) the Property will not include the property so taken, (2) the Purchase Price
will be reduced by the amount of any awards for such taking awarded to Seller as
of the Closing Date, and (3) Seller shall assign and turn over to Buyer, and
Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, all awards for such taking not
yet awarded as of the Closing.
17. DESTRUCTION. If the Property or any portion thereof is damaged by
fire or other casualty on or before the Closing Date, Seller immediately shall
notify Buyer of such damage. If the estimated cost to repair the damage is less
than the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five percent (5%) of the Purchase
Price and does not eliminate or materially impair access to the Property,
-13-
Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in which
event Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all
insurance relating to such fire or other casualty. If the estimated cost to
repair the damage equals or exceeds the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five
percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, Buyer may elect either (a) to terminate
this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit (minus any escrow or
title cancellation fees), in which case neither party shall have any
additional rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (b) to proceed to
the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, without modification of the
terms of this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to an
assignment of the proceeds of all insurance relating to such fire or other
casualty, if any. Such election shall be made by Buyer within thirty (30)
business days following Seller's notification to Buyer. Buyer's failure to
elect to terminate this Agreement within such thirty-day period shall
conclusively be deemed an election to proceed to the Closing.
18. BROKERS. Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants to
the other that no real estate or business broker, agent, finder, or other person
is responsible for bringing about or negotiating this Agreement and that such
party has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent, finder or person
relative to this Agreement in any manner. Each party to this Agreement shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party to this Agreement against
all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees and claims
arising from (a) any breach of such representation by such indemnifying party
set forth in the preceding sentence, and (b) any claims that may be made against
such indemnified party by any real estate broker, agent, finder or other person
alleging to have acted on behalf of or to have dealt with such indemnifying
party.
19. NO RELIANCE - AS-IS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN RELIANCE SOLELY ON:
(I) BUYER'S INSPECTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND THE
IMPROVEMENTS; (II) BUYER'S INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF THE TRUTH OF ANY
STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER; AND (III) THE
OPINIONS AND ADVICE OF CONSULTANTS AND ATTORNEYS ENGAGED BY BUYER CONCERNING THE
PROPERTY. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BEFORE ITS EXECUTION OF THIS
AGREEMENT BUYER SHALL HAVE PERFORMED OR WILL HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM
ALL OF ITS DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS OF AND WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AS
BUYER DEEMS APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING ENGINEERING STUDIES, SOILS TESTS,
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEYS AND TESTING, PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS, ALTA OR OTHER SURVEYS
AND MARKET ANALYSES AS WELL AS BUYER'S EVALUATION OF THE CONDITION AND STATUS OF
THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS AND THE OPERATION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF
THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, AT THE CLOSING, BUYER
ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY AND ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY IN THEIR "AS IS,"
"WHERE-IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" CONDITION OR STATUS AS OF THE CLOSING DATE,
INCLUDING SUCH MATTERS AS: SOILS AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITION, TOPOGRAPHY, AREA AND
CONFIGURATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY; THE AGE AND CONDITION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
AND PERSONAL PROPERTY; THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR
MATERIALS, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR OTHER MATTERS WHICH WOULD OR COULD
NECESSITATE ABATEMENT OR REMEDIATION ACTION BY THE PROPERTY'S OWNER; ANY
PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS IN THE IMPROVEMENTS OR PERSONAL PROPERTY; ANY
EASEMENT, LICENSE OR ENCROACHMENT WHICH IS NOT A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD,
-14-
WHETHER OR NOT VISIBLE UPON INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY; THE ZONING AND OTHER
LAND USE REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE PROPERTY; AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING
TO THE PROPERTY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VALUE, TITLE, INCOME,
FEASIBILITY, COST, MARKETING AND INVESTMENT RETURN. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY. IN
PARTICULAR BUT NOT BY WAY OF LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT
HERETO, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING
TO COMPLIANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH CURRENT BUILDING CODES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THOSE RELATING TO UPDATED OR REVISED STANDARDS FOR PLUMBING,
ELECTRICAL, STRUCTURAL OR SEISMIC MATTERS. BUYER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS TO
SELLER THAT BUYER HAS NOT RELIED ON AND WILL NOT RELY ON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF SELLER NOT EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT.
20. INDEMNITY REGARDING INSPECTION. In consideration of Seller's
permission to Buyer and its agents to perform investigations and testing on and
about the Property prior to the Closing, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Seller and Seller's partners, and their respective officers, employees,
agents, contractors, successors, assigns, and affiliates (collectively, the
"Indemnitees"), and the Property from all claims, costs, liens, actions and
judgments (including attorneys' fees and other defense costs actually incurred
by Seller) resulting from Buyer's investigation of the Property or its attempts
to obtain any regulatory approvals in connection with the Property, or otherwise
caused by Buyer or any of its employees, agents or independent contractors,
except for the non-negligent release of Hazardous Materials already on the
Property occasioned thereby. Unless and until the Closing occurs, Buyer shall
maintain all the information which it obtains in connection with the Property in
strict confidence and shall not reveal any of such information to any party
other than those parties to which it may otherwise be required to disclose in
accordance with applicable law. Buyer shall, at Buyer's sole cost, promptly
repair any damage resulting from its activities on the Property and restore the
Property to substantially the same condition as before Buyer or any of its
agents first entered the Property. If the Closing does not occur on or before
the Closing Date for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller,
Buyer shall provide Seller, at Seller's cost, copies of all third-party
engineering and environmental reports and materials derived from Buyer's
investigation of the Property, concurrently with reimbursement by Seller of
Buyer's out-of-pocket costs in procuring such reports and materials.
21. BUYER'S REMEDIES. In the event the transaction contemplated hereby
is not consummated as a result of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer's sole and
exclusive remedies shall be either (i) to seek from Escrow Holder the return of
the Deposit and any other documents and funds then held by Escrow Holder and
Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer's reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the purchase transaction contemplated under
this Agreement (but in no event to exceed one-fourth percent (1/4%) of Purchase
Price)or (ii) to seek specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder by
delivering the Purchase Price into the Escrow; provided, however, that as
conditions precedent to such action for specific performance, [A] no uncured
default in the performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall
exist and no event shall have occurred which with the passage of time or with
notice, or both, could become such an event of default, and [B] Buyer shall not
seek to amend the Purchase Price in such action.
-15-
22. SELLER'S PARTNERS' APPROVAL. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Closing shall not occur unless and
until Seller shall have obtained written approval of the sale transaction
contemplated hereby and of amendments to such Managing Venture's partnership
agreement related thereto ("Seller's Consent") from a majority in interest of
the limited partners of ConAm Realty Investors 5, L.P. (the Managing Venturer of
Seller), whose approval is legally required before Seller may sell the Property
to Buyer hereunder. Seller shall seek such approval immediately after the
Escrow Opening Date. If Seller's Consent is not obtained within twenty-one (21)
days after the Escrow Opening Date (as such period may be extended by Seller at
Seller's sole option for up to an additional forty (40) days), Seller or Buyer
may terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to the other before
Seller's Consent is obtained, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to the
return of the Deposit and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights
or obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities
under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination).
23. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party to this Agreement shall execute and
deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably
required or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
24. COUNTERPARTS AND EXHIBITS. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together
constitute one document. All exhibits attached to and referenced in this
Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.
25. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time and strict and punctual performance are of
the essence with respect to each provision of this Agreement.
26. ATTORNEY'S FEES. The prevailing party in any litigation,
arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding
("Proceeding") relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement
may recover from the unsuccessful party all costs, expenses and actual
attorney's fees (including expert witness and other consultants' fees and costs)
relating to or arising out of (a) the Proceeding (whether or not the Proceeding
proceeds to judgment), and (b) any post-judgment or post-award proceeding
including, without limitation, one to enforce or collect any judgment or award
resulting from the Proceeding. All such judgments and awards shall contain a
specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred costs,
expenses and actual attorney's fees.

address for the giving of notices set forth in this Agreement.
28. MODIFICATION. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing
executed by the party to this Agreement against whom enforcement of the
modification is sought.
29. PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS. This Agreement and all documents specifically
referred to and executed in connection with this Agreement: (a) contain the
entire and final agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, and (b) supersede all negotiations,
stipulations, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, if
any,
-16-
with respect to such subject matter, which precede or accompany the execution
of this Agreement.
30. INTERPRETATION. Whenever the context so requires in this Agreement,
all words used in the singular may include the plural (and vice versa) and the
word "person" includes a natural person, a corporation, a firm, a partnership, a
joint venture, a trust, an estate or any other entity. The terms "includes" and
"including" do not imply any limitation. Unless "business day " is specified,
the term "day" means a calendar day. The term "business day" means any day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or Federal or other holiday in the State in which
the Property is located. If the last day for any act falls on a day other than
a business day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next business
day. No remedy or election under this Agreement is exclusive, but rather, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, each such remedy and election is
cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. The paragraph headings
in this Agreement (a) are included only for convenience, (b) do not in any
manner modify or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement and (c) may not
be used in the interpretation of this Agreement. Each provision of this
Agreement is valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If
any provision of this Agreement (or the application of such provision to any
person or circumstance) is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.
31. SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST AND ASSIGNS. Buyer may not assign its rights
under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent
of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute
discretion; provided, however, that Buyer may assign such rights to a joint
venture comprised of an affiliate of Continental American Properties, Ltd., a
California limited partnership, and up to two (2) institutional clients of Buyer
upon written notice given to Seller not less than five (5) business days prior
to the Closing. No assignment by Buyer of any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this
Agreement unless Seller expressly agrees to such release in writing. Subject
to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the
benefit of the successors-in-interest and assigns of each party to this
Agreement.
32. NOTICES. Each notice and other communication required or permitted
to be given under this Agreement ("Notice") must be in writing. Notice is duly
given to another party upon: (a) hand delivery to the other party, (b) receipt

party set forth below (provided, however, that the Notice is not effective
unless a duplicate copy of the facsimile Notice is promptly given by one of the
other methods permitted under this paragraph), (c) three business days after the
Notice has been deposited with the United States postal service as first class
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the
party as set forth below, or (d) the next business day after the Notice has been
deposited with a reputable overnight delivery service, postage prepaid,

inconsistency between any such additional instructions and this
Agreement shall be resolved in a manner consistent with this Agreement,
and the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail unless Buyer and
Seller waive such inconsistent provision in writing by specifically
referring to the fact of such inconsistency and their intent to waive
it."
"3.2. CLOSING DATE. The purchase and sale transaction contemplated
hereunder shall close in accordance with Article 8 below (the "Closing") on
or before February 1, 1999 (the "Closing Date"); provided, however, that if
the Closing shall occur on the Closing Date but after 10:00 a.m. PST, the
Closing Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of recordation of
the Deed (hereinafter defined) for purposes of calculating prorations under
Article 10 below, and provided further that in no event shall the Closing
Date occur after February 1, 1999, unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing. If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date, then
Buyer or Seller, if not in default under this Agreement, may at any time
thereafter give written notice to Escrow Holder to cancel the Escrow
whereupon the Escrow and the subject transaction shall become terminated
and Escrow Holder shall distribute all monies and documents in Escrow
Holder's possession in accordance with this Agreement and all additional
mutual instructions as the parties may provide. Such cancellation of the
Escrow shall not prejudice or limit any legal or equitable rights of Buyer
or Seller, except as may be limited by Article 12 below."
3. NO FURTHER AMENDMENTS. Except as set forth in Paragraph 2, all
other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
4. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts.
5. TELECOPIES. Telecopies of the executed signature pages of this

and entitled to accept and treat such telecopies signatures as originals.
Immediately after sending the signature pages, if any, by telecopy, the Party
providing such telecopy shall send the originals of such pages to the other
Party and to the Escrow Agent by hand delivery or overnight courier, as
