                          REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a) General.  Regency Realty Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in
          the  State  of  Florida  for the  purpose  of  owning,  operating  and
          developing  neighborhood  shopping  centers.  At March 31,  1997,  the
          Company owned 81 properties in the  southeastern  United  States.  The
          Company also provides management,  leasing,  brokerage and development
          services for real estate not owned by the Company (third parties). The
          Company  commenced  operations  effective  with the  completion of its
          initial public offering on November 5, 1993.

          The  accompanying   consolidated   financial  statements  include  the
          accounts of Regency Realty Group II, Inc. (the "Management  Company"),
          it's wholly owned or majority owned properties and its joint ventures.
          All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have been
          eliminated.

          These financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
          financial statements  and notes thereto  included in the Company's
          December 31, 1996 Form 10-K filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
          Commission on March 25, 1997.  Certain  amounts for 1996 have been
          reclassified  to conform to the presentation adopted in 1997.

      (b) Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying  interim unaudited  financial
          statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
          the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and reflect all  adjustments
          which  are  of a  normal  recurring  nature,  and in  the  opinion  of
          management,  are necessary to properly state the results of operations
          and financial position.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures
          normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with
          generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have  been  condensed  or
          omitted  pursuant to such rules and regulations,  although  management
          believes  that the  disclosures  are adequate to make the  information
          presented not misleading.

      (c) Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 128.  During  February  1997,  the
          Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standard No. 128, (SFAS 128) "Earnings per Share". SFAS 128
          governs the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
          earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock.
          SFAS 128 was issued to simplify  the  computation  of EPS and replaces
          the Primary and Fully diluted EPS  calculations  currently in use with
          calculations  of Basic and  Diluted  EPS.  SFAS 128 is  effective  for
          financial  statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
          December 15,  1997,  and earlier  application  is not  permitted.  The
          Company will begin to calculate  its EPS in  compliance  with SFAS 128
          for the year ended December 31, 1997.

2.   Acquisition and Development of Real Estate

      On March 7, 1997, the Company acquired,  through its partnership,  Regency
      Retail Partnership,  L.P. (the "Partnership") of which a subsidiary of the
      Company  is the sole  general  partner,  substantially  all the  assets of
      Branch  Properties,  L.P.  ("Branch"),  a privately  held real estate firm
      based in Atlanta,  Georgia.  The assets  acquired  from Branch  include 26
      shopping  centers  totaling  approximately  2,496,921 SF of gross leasable
      area including  473,682 SF currently under  development or  redevelopment.
      The  Partnership  acquired  (i) a 100% fee simple  interest in 19 of these
      operating  properties and (ii) partnership  interests (ranging from 30% to
      97%)  in  4  partnerships  with  outside  investors   ("Limited  Partners'
      Interest")  that own the  remaining  seven  properties.  In addition,  the
      Company,  through Regency Realty Group II, Inc.,  acquired  Branch's third
      party development business,  including  build-to-suit  projects, and third
      party  management  and leasing  contracts  for  approximately  3.6 million
      square feet of shopping centers owned by third party investors.


      At closing,  the Company  invested $26 million in the  Partnership  to pay
      transaction  costs  and  reduce  debt  assumed.   The  Partnership  issued
      3,373,801  redeemable  partnership  units ("Units") and the Company issued
      155,797  shares of common stock to the sellers of Branch ("Unit  Holders")
      at $26.85  for  $94,769,706  and  assumed  $105,302,169  of debt (net of a
      $25,728,111 paydown at the date of closing). Limited partners' interest in
      consolidated   partnerships  of  $6,914,339  was  recorded  for  the  four
      partnerships with outside investors. The operations of Branch are included
      from the date of acquisition  and  contributed  $306,371 to net income for
      common stockholders net of the 67.4% minority interest share of redeemable
      partnership  units of  $633,705.  For  purposes  of  determining  minority
      interest,  the  Company  owned  32.6%  of  the  outstanding  Units  in the
      Partnership at March 31, 1997. Upon approval by the Company's shareholders
      at is annual meeting on June 12, 1997, most of the outstanding  Units held
      by Unit  Holders are  expected to be redeemed  for Common stock based upon
      redemption notices already received. At completion of the redemption,  the
      Company  expects  that it will own  approximately  90% of the  outstanding
      Units of the Partnership. The Company's directors, officers, and principal
      shareholders who own approximately  50.2% of the outstanding  Common stock
      have signed  voting  agreements  agreeing  to vote all of their  shares in
      favor of the redemption.

      In  addition  to the  Branch  acquisition,  the  Company  completed  the
      acquisition  of three  shopping  centers  during  the first  quarter.  The
      properties are 100% owned unless noted otherwise as follows:

                                         Year        Date Acquired    Company
     Shopping Center       Location      Built      by the Company     GLA
     ---------------       --------     ------      --------------    -------   
      Oakley Plaza     Asheville, N.C.    1988        03-14-97       118,727
    Mariners Village     Orlando, FL      1986        03-25-97       117,665
     Carmel Commons    Charlotte, N.C.    1979        03-28-97       132,647

3.   Acquisition and Development Line of Credit

     The Company has a $150  million  unsecured  revolving  line of credit ("the
     Line")  which is primarily  used to acquire and develop  real  estate.  The
     interest rate is Libor + 150 basis points with interest only for two years,
     and if then terminated,  becomes a two year term loan with principal due in
     seven equal  quarterly  installments.  The  borrower may request a one year
     extension of the interest  only  revolving  period  annually in May of each
     year beginning in 1997.

4.   Stockholders' Equity

     On June 11, 1996, the Company  entered into a  Stockholders  Agreement (the
     "Agreement")  with Security  Capital U.S. Realty ("US Realty")  granting it
     certain rights such as purchasing common stock, nominating  representatives
     to the Company's  Board of Directors,  and  subjecting US Realty to certain
     restrictions  including  voting and ownership  restrictions.  The Agreement
     primarily  granted US Realty (i) the right to acquire  7,499,400 shares for
     approximately  $132 million and also  participation  rights entitling it to
     purchase  additional  equity  in the  Company,  at the  same  price as that
     offered to other  purchasers,  each time that the Company sells  additional
     shares of  capital  stock or options  or other  rights to  acquire  capital
     stock,  in order to preserve US Realty's pro rata ownership  position;  and
     (ii) the right to  nominate  a  proportionate  number of  directors  on the
     Company's  Board,  rounded down to the nearest whole number,  based upon US
     Realty's  percentage  ownership  of  outstanding  Common  Stock (but not to
     exceed 49% of the  Board).  As of March 31,  1997,  US Realty has  acquired
     5,126,978 shares and is expected to acquire the remaining  2,372,422 shares
     at $17.625 per share no later than June, 1997.

     For a period  of at least  five  years  (subject  to  certain  exceptions),
     Security Capital is precluded from, among other things,  (i) acquiring more
     than 45% of the  outstanding  Common Stock on a fully diluted  basis,  (ii)
     transferring   shares  without  the  Company's  approval  in  a  negotiated
     transaction  that would result in any transferee  beneficially  owning more
     than 9.8% of the Company's  capital stock,  or (iii) acting in concert with
     any third parties as part of a 13D group. Subject to certain exceptions, US
     Realty is required to vote its shares either as recommended by the Board of
     Directors  or  proportionately  in  accordance  with the vote of the  other
     shareholders.


     In connection  with the Units and shares of Common Stock issued in exchange
     for  Branch's  assets on March 7, 1997,  Security  Capital had the right to
     acquire up to  3,771,622  shares of Common  Stock at a price of $22-1/8 per
     share. However,  pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to its Stockholders  Agreement
     with the Company,  Security  Capital  elected (i) to waive such rights with
     respect to all but 1,750,000  shares (or such lesser number,  not less than
     850,000  shares,  as  will  not  result  in  the  Company  ceasing  to be a
     domestically  controlled real estate investment  trust),  (ii) to initially
     defer its  rights  with  respect to the  1,750,000  shares to no later than
     August 31,  1997,  and (iii) to defer its rights  with  respect to any such
     shares,  not to exceed 1,050,000 shares,  that remain unpurchased on August
     31, 1997 to no later than the first  Earn-Out  Closing,  in order to permit
     Unit holders who are Non-U.S. Persons (as defined in the Company's Articles
     of  Incorporation)  to  redeem  their  Units  for  Common  Stock.  Security
     Capital's  participation rights (i) remain in effect, with respect to Units
     and shares issued at the Earn-Out Closings, and (ii) also remain in effect,
     at a price equal to the then market price of the Common Stock, with respect
     to shares  issued upon the  redemption  of Units for Common Stock  provided
     that Security Capital did not exercise its participation rights at the time
     of issuance of such Units.

5.   Earnings Per Share

     Additional  Units and shares of Common Stock may be issued on the fifteenth
     day after the first,  second and third  anniversaries of the closing of the
     acquisition  of  Branch  (each  an  "Earn-Out   Closing"),   based  on  the
     performance  of  certain of the  Partnership's  properties  (the  "Property
     Earn-Out").  The formula for the Property Earn-Out provides for calculating
     any  increases  in  value  on a  property-by-property  basis,  based on any
     increases  in net  income  for  certain  properties  in  the  Partnership's
     portfolio  as of  February  15 of the  year of  calculation.  The  Property
     Earn-Out  is limited  to  $15,974,188  at the first  Earn-Out  Closing  and
     $22,568,851  at  all  Earn-Out  Closings   (including  the  first  Earn-Out
     Closing).  Since issuance of additional  consideration  is contingent  upon
     increased  earnings,  for purposes of calculating fully diluted earning per
     share,  net income has been  adjusted  to give  effect to the  increase  in
     earnings  specified by the Contribution  Agreement with Branch  Properties,
     L.P. that results in the largest potential dilution, and outstanding shares
     have been  adjusted to include  those  shares  contingently  issuable  upon
     attainment of the increased earnings level.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
             and Results of Operations
            (dollar amounts in thousands).


The  following   discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
accompanying  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and Notes  thereto of Regency
Realty  Corporation (the "Company")  appearing  elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the
Company's December 31, 1996 Form 10-K, and the Company's Form 8-K dated March 7,
1997.

Business

       The Company's  principal  business is owning,  operating  and  developing
grocery anchored neighborhood shopping centers in targeted infill markets in the
Southeast.  At March 31, 1997 the Company owned 81  properties or  approximately
8.3 million  square feet (SF or GLA);  54% and 29% of the GLA of the  properties
are located in Florida and Georgia,  respectively,  and 61 are grocery anchored.
At March 31, 1996, the Company owned 37 properties or approximately  4.1 million
SF.  The  Company's  four  largest  tenants  in order by number of leased  store
locations, including properties under development, are Publix Supermarkets (24),
Winn-Dixie Stores (12), Wal-Mart (5), and The Kroger Co. (5).

Acquisition and Development

      On March 7, 1997, the Company acquired,  through its partnership,  Regency
Retail  Partnership,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  of which a  subsidiary  of the
Company  is the sole  general  partner,  substantially  all the assets of Branch
Properties, L.P. ("Branch"), a privately held real estate firm based in Atlanta,
Georgia.  The assets acquired from Branch include 26 shopping  centers  totaling
approximately 2,496,921 SF of gross leasable area including 473,682 SF currently
under development or redevelopment  (the "Branch  Properties").  The Partnership
acquired (i) a 100% fee simple interest in 19 of these operating  properties and
(ii)  partnership  interests  (ranging from 30% to 97%) in 4  partnerships  with
outside  investors  that own the remaining  seven  properties.  The Company also
acquired the third party property  management  business of Branch with contracts
on approximately 3.6 million SF of shopping center GLA that generate  management
fees and leasing commission revenues.

      The Partnership  issued  3,373,801 units of limited  partnership  interest
(the "Units") and the Company  issued 155,797 shares of Common Stock in exchange
for the assets acquired and the liabilities  assumed from Branch. The Units will
be  redeemable  on a  one-for-one  basis in exchange for shares of Common Stock,
subject to approval of the conversion  rights by the Company's  shareholders  at
the Company's  1997 annual  meeting.  The  Company's  directors,  officers,  and
principal  shareholders who own  approximately  50.2% of the outstanding  Common
stock have signed  voting  agreements  agreeing  to vote all of their  shares in
favor of the  redemption.  The Company and Branch agreed to the Units and shares
to be issued based upon a purchase price of approximately $78 million (3,529,598
combined  Units and shares at $22.125,  the fair market  value of the  Company's
Common Stock on the date the terms of the  acquisition  were  reached)  plus the
assumption of Branch's  existing  liabilities.  On the date the  acquisition was
publicly announced,  the average fair market value of the Company's common stock
had risen to $26.85  per share.  Accordingly,  the  purchase  price of Branch as
reflected in the Company's  financial  statements was increased to approximately
$100 million  (3,529,598 Units and shares at $26.85 and approximately $5 million
in related  reserves  and  transaction  costs) plus the  assumption  of Branch's
existing liabilities.

      Additional Units and shares of Common Stock may be issued on the fifteenth
day after the first,  second and third  anniversaries  of the  closing  (each an
"Earn-Out  Closing"),  based on the performance of certain of the  Partnership's
properties (the "Property Earn-Out"),  and additional shares of Common Stock may
be issued at the first and second  Earn-Out  Closings  based on revenues  earned
from third party  management and leasing  contracts (the "Third Party  Earn-Out"
estimated  to be  approximately  $750).  The formula for the  Property  Earn-Out
provides for calculating any increases in value on a property-by-property basis,
based on any increases in net income for certain properties in the Partnership's
portfolio as of February 15 of the year of calculation. The Property Earn-Out is
limited to $15.9 million at the first Earn-Out  Closing and $22.6 million at all
Earn-Out  Closings  (including the first Earn-Out  Closing).  The acquisition of
Branch is  discussed  further in note 2,  Acquisition  and  Development  of Real
Estate, of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


       During  the first  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  also  acquired  three
shopping centers  unrelated to the Branch  Properties (the "1997  Acquisitions")
for $27.6 million (including certain budgeted capital  improvements  designed to
improve  the  performance  of the  acquired  properties)  for a total of 369,039
square feet. In addition to the  acquisition  of the Branch  Properties  and the
1997 Acquisitions,  the Company also had seven grocery anchored shopping centers
under development or redevelopment, which when completed in 1998, will represent
a total investment of approximately  $46.3 million.  During the first quarter of
1996, the Company acquired one shopping center for $5.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Company's  total   indebtedness  at  March  31,  1997  and  1996  was
approximately $304.9 million and $125.6 million,  respectively,  of which $171.7
million and $94.7  million had fixed  interest  rates  averaging  7.7% and 7.5%,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on total debt at March 31, 1997
and 1996 was 7.6%. Based upon the Company's total market  capitalization  (total
debt and the market value of equity) at March 31, 1997 of $805 million  (closing
common stock price of $26.75 per share and total  common  stock and  equivalents
outstanding of 18.7 million),  the Company's debt to total market capitalization
ratio was 37.9% vs. 42.8% at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Included in
outstanding  debt at March 31, 1997 is $105 million of outstanding  debt assumed
as part of the Branch acquisition.

      The 1997  Acquisitions  were financed from the Company's $150 million line
of credit (the  "Line").  At March 31, 1997,  the balance of the Line was $104.9
million  and had a variable  rate of  interest  equal to the  London  Inter-bank
Offered Rate ("Libor") plus 150 basis points.

      During 1996,  the Company  entered into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  (the
"Agreement") with Security Capital US Realty ("US Realty"). Under the Agreement,
the Company  agreed to sell  7,499,400  shares of common stock to US Realty at a
price of $17.625 per share  representing total maximum proceeds of approximately
$132 million.  During 1996, the Company sold  3,651,800  shares to US Realty for
approximately $64.4 million and the proceeds were used to pay down the Line. The
Company sold 1,475,178  shares to US Realty on March 3, 1997 and the $26 million
proceeds were used to reduce debt assumed as part of the Branch  transaction  by
$25.7 million. Not later than June, 1997, the Company will sell 2,372,422 shares
committed to US Realty generating  proceeds of approximately $41.8 million which
will be used to pay down the Line. As part of the Agreement,  US Realty also has
participation rights entitling them to purchase additional equity in the Company
at the same price as that offered to other purchasers in order to preserve their
pro rata ownership in the Company. For further discussion of the Agreement,  see
note 4, Stockholders' Equity, of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The   Company's   principal   demands  for   liquidity  are  dividends  to
stockholders,   distributions  to  redeemable  partnership   unit-holders,   the
operation,  maintenance and improvement of real estate,  and scheduled  interest
and principal  payments.  The Company paid dividends and redeemable  partnership
unit distributions of $5.8 million and $3.2 million to its stockholders and Unit
holders  during  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  In  January  1997,  the  Company
increased its quarterly common dividend to $.42 per share vs. $.405 per share in
1996.  Total  dividends  expected  to be paid by the  Company  during  1997 will
increase  substantially over 1996 due to the common stock dividend increase, the
Agreement with US Realty,  and the additional shares and Units issued as part of
the Branch acquisition.

      As of March 31, 1997 and 1996,  the  Company's  net cash used in investing
activities  was $32.1  million and $6.5 million,  respectively,  due to the real
estate acquisitions, construction and building improvements as further discussed
above.  The Company  anticipates  that cash  provided by  operating  activities,
unused  amounts  under the Line,  expected  future  sales of common  stock to US
Realty, and cash reserves are adequate to meet liquidity requirements.  At March
31, 1997, the Company had cash balances of $14.6 million.

      The Company has made an election to be taxed,  and is  operating  so as to
qualify,  as a Real Estate  Investment  Trust  ("REIT")  for Federal  income tax
purposes,  and  accordingly  has paid no Federal  income  tax since its  Initial
Public Offering in 1993.  While the Company intends to continue to pay dividends
to its  stockholders,  the Company  will reserve such amounts of cash flow as it
considers  necessary  for the proper  maintenance  and  improvement  of its real
estate, while still maintaining its qualification as a REIT.


      The Company's real estate portfolio has grown substantially during 1997 as
a result of the acquisitions  and  developments  discussed above. In addition to
the Branch  acquisition,  during  1997,  the Company  expects to exceed the 1996
level of real  estate  acquisitions  of $107  million  and  intends  to meet the
related capital requirements,  principally for the acquisition or development of
new properties,  from borrowings on the Line, and from additional  public equity
and debt offerings.  Because such  acquisition  and  development  activities are
discretionary in nature,  they are not expected to burden the Company's  capital
resources currently available for liquidity requirements.

Results of Operations

      Comparison of 1997 to 1996

      Revenues  increased  $7.2 million or 68.9% to $17.7  million in 1997.  The
increase is due primarily to the  acquisition of Branch  Properties and the 1997
Acquisitions   providing   $3.2  million  in  revenues  in  1997  (partial  year
ownership),  and the 1996  Acquisitions  providing $3.7 million in 1997 compared
with no revenue  contribution  during  the first  quarter of 1996 as a result of
timing. At March 31, 1997, the real estate portfolio contained approximately 8.3
million SF, was 95.6% leased and had average rents of $9.18 per SF. Minimum rent
increased  $4.6 million or 58.2%,  and  recoveries  from tenants  increased $1.4
million or 83%. On a same property basis  (excluding  the 1997,  1996 and Branch
Properties  Acquisitions)  revenues  increased  $340 or 3.2%,  primarily  due to
higher occupancy levels. Revenues from property management,  leasing, brokerage,
and  development  services  provided on properties not owned by the Company were
$1.6 million in 1997  compared to $0.7 million in 1996,  the increase due to the
property management and leasing contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of
Branch. At March 31, 1997, the Company managed properties for third party owners
containing approximately 4.8 million SF vs. 1.2 million SF at March 31, 1996.

      Operating  expenses  increased  $3.8  million or 66.8% to $9.4  million in
1997. Combined operating and maintenance expense and real estate taxes increased
$1.7 million or 64% during 1997 to $4.3  million.  The increase is due primarily
to the acquisition of the Branch Properties and the 1997 Acquisitions generating
$1.1 million in operating expenses in 1997 (partial year ownership) and the 1996
Acquisitions  producing $1.4 million in operating expenses in 1997 compared with
no expenses during the first quarter of 1996 as a result of timing.  General and
administrative expense increased 75.5% during 1997 to $2.2 million due to hiring
new employees during 1997 and the fourth quarter of 1996 necessary to manage the
properties   recently   acquired  and  expected  to  be  acquired  during  1997.
Depreciation  and amortization was 64.6% higher than 1996 due to the acquisition
of the Branch Properties and the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions.

      Interest  expense  increased  to $3.7 million in 1997 from $2.4 million in
1996 or 55.6% due  primarily  to increased  average  outstanding  loan  balances
associated as further  discussed above.  Net income for common  stockholders was
$4.037 million or $.31 per share in 1997 vs. $2.576 million or $.26 per share in
1996.

Funds from Operations

      The Company  considers  funds from operations  ("FFO"),  as defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles)  excluding gains (or
losses) from debt  restructuring  and sales of property,  plus  depreciation and
amortization  of  real  estate,   and  after   adjustments  for   unconsolidated
investments in real estate  partnerships and joint ventures,  to be the industry
standard  for  reporting  the  operations  of  real  estate   investment  trusts
("REITs").   Adjustments  for  investments  in  real  estate   partnerships  are
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management  believes that FFO
is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance,  such
amount does not  represent  cash flow from  operations  as defined by  generally
accepted accounting  principles,  should not be considered an alternative to net
income  as an  indicator  of the  Company's  operating  performance,  and is not
indicative  of cash  available  to fund all cash flow needs.  Additionally,  the
Company's  calculation  of FFO,  as provided  below,  may not be  comparable  to
similarly titled measures of other REITs.


      FFO  increased  $3.1 million or 72.7% from 1996 to 1997 as a result of the
acquisition activity discussed above under "Results of Operations".  FFO for the
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are summarized in the following table:

Environmental Matters

      The Company like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject
to numerous environmental laws and regulations and the operation of dry cleaning
plants at the Company's shopping centers is the principal environmental concern.
The Company  believes  that the dry cleaners are  operating in  accordance  with
current laws and  regulations  and has  established  procedures to monitor their
operations.   Based  on   information   presently   available,   no   additional
environmental  accruals  were made and  management  believes  that the  ultimate
disposition  of currently  known matters will not have a material  effect on the
financial position, liquidity, or operations of the Company.

Economic Conditions

      A substantial number of the Company's  long-term leases contain provisions
designed to mitigate  the  adverse  impact of  inflation  on the  Company's  net
income.  Such provisions include percentage  rentals,  rental escalation clauses
and reimbursements to the Company for actual common area maintenance, insurance,
and real estate taxes paid. In addition,  44% of the Company's leases have terms
of five years or less,  which  allows the  Company the  opportunity  to increase
rents upon lease  expiration.  Approximately  35% of the Company's leases expire
beyond  10  years  and  are  generally  anchor  tenants.   Unfavorable  economic
conditions  could result in the inability of certain tenants to meet their lease
obligations  and  otherwise  could  adversely  affect the  Company's  ability to
attract and retain desirable tenants.  Lurias currently has four leases with the
Company,  all stores of which are closed. In May, 1997, Lurias went into default
under three leases,  and continued to be in default under the fourth lease. Rent
from the Lurias leases represents approximately 0.7% of the Company's annualized
total  rent.  The  Company  considers  Lurias  to be bound by the  lease  terms,
however,  the outcome of the default is  uncertain.  The Company has  adequately
reserved for the potential loss of any rents due from Lurias. The Company had no
other significant defaults or bankruptcies during the first quarter of 1997.

      At March 31, 1997 approximately 8.8%, 4.0%, 2.9% and 2.1% of the Company's
annualized total rent is received from Publix, Winn-Dixie, Kroger, and Wal-Mart,
respectively  (the "Four Major  Tenants").  Although the Company  considers  the
financial condition and its relationship with the Four Major Tenants to be good,
a significant  downturn in business or the non-renewal of expiring leases of the
Four Major Tenants could adversely affect the Company.  Management also believes
that the shopping  centers are relatively well  positioned to withstand  adverse
economic  conditions  since they are typically  anchored by  supermarkets,  drug
stores and discount  department stores that offer day-to-day  necessities rather
than luxury goods.

Seller and presents  fairly in all material  respects the  financial  condition,
results of operations  and cash flows for the Property as of and for the periods

Contracts  are in full force and  effect in  accordance  with  their  respective
terms,  and all  obligations  of  Seller  under  the  Contracts  required  to be
performed to date have been performed in all material respects;  no party to any
Contract has asserted any claim of default or offset against Seller with respect

the ordinary  course of business  without  Buyer's  prior  written  consent.  In
connection  therewith,  Seller  covenants  to make  all  necessary  repairs  and
replacements until the Closing so that the Property

                                                      - 11 -

it is presently being maintained.

         4.11 Permits and Zoning. To the best knowledge of Seller,  there are no

thereof which have not been issued.  The use of the Property is consistent  with
the land use designation  and zoning for the Property.  There are no outstanding

portion  thereof.  Seller has received no notice nor has any knowledge  that any
such proceeding is contemplated.

         4.14 Governmental Matters.  Seller has not entered into any commitments
or  agreements  with any  governmental  authorities  or agencies  affecting  the
Property  that  have not been  disclosed  in  writing  to Buyer and  Seller  has

         4.15     Repairs.  Seller has received no notice of any
requirements or recommendations by any lender, insurance companies,

Robert S. Carter/Lat  Purser & Associates,  Inc., whose commission shall be paid

                                           6.  POSSESSION; RISK OF LOSS

         6.1      Possession.  Possession of the Property will be
transferred to Buyer at the conclusion of the Closing.

         6.2 Risk of Loss.  All risk of loss to the  Property  shall remain upon
Seller until the  conclusion of the Closing.  If,  before the  possession of the

within ten (10) business days after such notice from Seller, in which case Buyer

                  (b) proceed with the purchase of the Property,  in which event
Seller  shall  assign to Buyer all  Seller's  right,  title and  interest in all
amounts  due  or  collected  by  Seller  under  the  insurance  policies  or  as
condemnation  awards.  In such event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
amount of any  insurance  deductible  to the  extent it  reduced  the  insurance
proceeds payable.

                                                 7.  TITLE MATTERS

         7.1      Title.

                  (a) Title Insurance. Prior to the end of the Inspection Period
Buyer shall order the Title  Insurance  Commitment  from Chicago Title Insurance
Company and the Survey  from a reputable  surveyor  familiar  with the  Property
(Seller  agreeing to furnish to Buyer copies of any  existing  surveys and title
information in its possession promptly after execution of this Agreement). Buyer
will have ten (10) days from receipt of the Title Commitment  (including legible
copies of all recorded  exceptions noted therein) and Survey to notify Seller in
writing of any Title Defects,  encroachments  or other matters not acceptable to
Buyer  which are not  permitted  by this  Agreement.  Any Title  Defect or other
objection  disclosed  by  the  Title  Insurance  Commitment  (other  than  liens
removable by the payment of money) or the Survey  which is not timely  specified
in Buyer's written notice to Seller of Title Defects shall be deemed a Permitted
Exception.  Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days of Buyer's
notice if Seller intends to cure any Title Defect or other objection.  If Seller
elects to cure,  Seller  shall use  diligent  efforts to cure the Title  Defects
and/or objections by the Closing Date (as it may be extended).  If Seller elects
not to cure or if such Title  Defects  and/or  objections  are not cured,  Buyer
shall have the right, in lieu of any other remedies,  to: (i) refuse to purchase
the Property, terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money
Deposit;  or (ii) waive  such  Title  Defects  and/or  objections  and close the
purchase of the Property subject to them.

                  (b)  Miscellaneous  Title  Matters.  If a search  of the title
discloses judgments,  bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having
names the same as or similar to that of Seller,  Seller shall on request deliver
to Buyer an affidavit stating, if true, that such judgments, bankruptcies or the
returns are not against Seller.  Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to
the Title  Insurance agent at Closing such  documentation,  if any, as the Title
Insurance  underwriter  shall reasonably  require to evidence that the execution
and  delivery  of  this  Agreement  and  the  consummation  of the  transactions
contemplated  hereby have been duly  authorized and that there are no mechanics'
liens on the  Property  or  parties in  possession  of the  Property  other than
tenants under Leases and Seller.

                                              JOINDER OF ESCROW AGENT


         1. Duties.  Escrow Agent joins herein for the purpose of  acknowledging
receipt of the initial Earnest Money Deposit and agrees to comply with the terms
hereof  insofar as they apply to Escrow  Agent.  Escrow Agent shall  receive and
hold the Earnest  Money Deposit in trust,  to be disposed of in accordance  with
the provisions of this joinder and Section of the foregoing Agreement.

         2.  Indemnity.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party except
for claims resulting from the gross  negligence or willful  misconduct of Escrow
Agent. If the escrow is involved in any  controversy or litigation,  the parties
hereto  shall  jointly and  severally  indemnify  and hold Escrow Agent free and
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage,  liability or expense,
including  costs of reasonable  attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may be put
or which  may  incur by reason of or in  connection  with  such  controversy  or
litigation,  except to the extent it is finally determined that such controversy
or  litigation   resulted  from  Escrow  Agent's  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct.  If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents),  the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.

         3.  Conflicting  Demands.  If conflicting  demands are made upon Escrow
Agent with respect to the escrow, the parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow
Agent shall have the absolute right to do either or both of the  following:  (i)
withhold  and stop all  proceedings  in  performance  of this  escrow  and await
settlement  of  the  controversy  by  final  appropriate  legal  proceedings  or
otherwise as it may require;  or (ii) file suit for  declaratory  relief  and/or
interpleader  and  obtain  an order  from the court  requiring  the  parties  to
interplead  and litigate in such court their several  claims and rights  between
themselves.  Upon the filing of any such declaratory relief or interpleader suit
and  tender of the  Earnest  Money  Deposit  to the court,  Escrow  Agent  shall
thereupon  be fully  released and  discharged  from any and all  obligations  to
further  perform the duties or  obligations  imposed  upon it.  Buyer and Seller
agree to  respond  promptly  in  writing  to any  request  by  Escrow  Agent for
clarification,  consent  or  instructions.  Any action  proposed  to be taken by
Escrow  Agent for which  approval of Buyer and/or  Seller is requested  shall be
considered  approved  if  Escrow  Agent  does  not  receive  written  notice  of
disapproval  within  fourteen (14) days after a written  request for approval is
received by the party whose approval is being requested.  Escrow Agent shall not
be required to take any action for which  approval  of Buyer  and/or  Seller has
been sought unless such approval has been received.  No  disbursements  shall be
made, other than as provided in Sections and of the foregoing Agreement, or to a
court in an  interpleader  action,  unless Escrow Agent shall have given written
notice of the proposed  disbursement  to Buyer and Seller and neither  Buyer nor
Seller shall have delivered any






written  objection to the  disbursement  within 14 days after  receipt of Escrow
Agent's notice. No notice by Buyer or Seller to Escrow Agent of disapproval of a
proposed  action shall affect the right of Escrow Agent to take any action as to
which such approval is not required.

         4. Continuing Counsel. Seller acknowledges that Escrow Agent is counsel
to Buyer  herein and Seller  agrees that in the event of a dispute  hereunder or
otherwise between Seller and Buyer, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Buyer
notwithstanding  that it is acting  and will  continue  to act as  Escrow  Agent
hereunder,  it being  acknowledged  by all parties  that Escrow  Agent's  duties
hereunder are ministerial in nature.

         5.       Tax Identification.  Seller and Buyer shall provide to
Escrow Agent appropriate Federal tax identification numbers.

Cutting Edge Salon as tenant (the  "Cutting  Edge Lease") and (ii) a lease dated
____________,  covering space number  _________,  between Seller as landlord and
Concept Management Corp (the "Concept  Management  Lease").  Neither the Cutting
Edge Lease nor the Concept Management Lease by Closing will have commenced,  or,
if so, will not have been open for business for sufficient  time to determine if
they are viable tenants.  Seller and Buyer have agreed to deposit in escrow with
Escrow Agent,  at Closing,  the sums of  $103,696.00  for the Cutting Edge Lease
(the "Cutting Edge Fund") and $161,304.00 for the Concept  Management Lease (the
"Concept  Management  Fund"),  to be  disbursed  to Seller  upon the  respective
Qualification  Dates  for each of said  leases  (the  Cutting  Edge Fund and the
Concept  Management  Fund being  collectively  referred to as the "Tenant Escrow
Funds").  Escrow Agent shall  disburse  the Cutting  Edge Fund,  and the Concept
Management  Fund,  respectively,  to  Seller,  within  ten (10)  days  after the
occurrence of the respective Qualification Date for each. The Qualification Date
for each  lease  shall be the date for each such  lease by which  the  following
events shall have occurred:

     (a) The  tenant  shall have  accepted  the space and be  lawfully  open for
business therein;

                                                        -7-





     (b) The tenant shall have received all  concessions due it under the Lease,
such as, by way of example, free rent and reimbursement for tenant improvements;

     (c) The tenant has been  paying full rent and  reimbursements  for at least
six (6) consecutive months without default;

     (d) There shall be no default under such Lease which remains  uncured as of
the Qualification Date;

                  (e)  All  sums   payable  for  the   construction   of  tenant
improvements  and  fixturing  for the  leased  space  shall  have  been paid and
releases of liens and final payment affidavits for such work have been delivered
to Buyer; and

                  (f) The tenant shall have  executed  and  delivered to Buyer a
Tenant Estoppel Letter  regarding its lease and occupancy which is acceptable to
Buyer.

If the  Qualification  Date for a particular  Lease has not occurred by the date
which occurs nine (9) months following Closing,  Seller shall have an additional
twelve (12) months from the date of the  termination  of the Lease for which the
Qualification  Date did not occur and  vacating  of its  premises  by the tenant
thereunder, (the costs of which shall be borne by Seller), but no later than the
date which occurs twenty-one (21) months after the Closing Date, within which to
obtain  a  replacement  tenant  under  an  Approved  Lease,  and  thereafter  an
additional  nine  (9)  months  during  which  the  Qualification  Date  for such
replacement  tenant may occur.  In order to qualify as a replacement  tenant the
replacement lease must have an initial term of no less than three (3) years with
a third party tenant  unaffiliated  with Seller who is  creditworthy  in Buyer's
reasonable judgment and who is experienced in Buyer's reasonable judgment in the
operation  of the  type of  business  proposed  to be  conducted  at the  leased
premises. The replacement lease shall not be considered an Approved Lease unless
it is  written  on the  Shopping  Center's  standard  form  lease used by Buyer,
without material  modification (or other form reasonably approved by Buyer), and
unless it provides for rents,  cost sharing and concessions which are comparable
to that of the tenant being replaced and which Buyer reasonably  considers to be
"market" for the Orlando area. The amount to be paid with respect to an approved
replacement tenant shall be the lesser of (i) the Cutting Edge Fund (in the case
of space number 2), or the Concept  Management Fund (in the case of space number
5), and (ii) the Net  Effective  Rent  under the  replacement  lease  divided by
0.104.  Any balance shall be returned to Buyer.  The term "Net  Effective  Rent"
shall mean base rent and expense reimbursement  recoveries from a tenant under a
Lease, less all free rent, cash payments and allowances and other concessions to
the tenant and less a credit  reserve of five  percent  (5%) of tenant  rent and
recoveries,  if the  tenant  is a local  tenant or a tenant  whose  lease has an
initial  term of less than ten (10) years.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if
Buyer shall  itself  lease the space prior to Seller's  tendering a  replacement
tenant,  Seller's  right to lease such space shall  terminate,  but the escrowed
funds with  respect  to such  space  shall be paid to Seller on the basis of the
aforesaid computaed to Buyer. Seller shall pay all leasing

                                                        -8-





commissions  payable  with  respect  to the  Cutting  Edge  Lease,  the  Concept
Management Lease or any replacement lease, whether procured by Seller or Buyer.

survive termination,  shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return to
Buyer the Earnest Money Deposit. If Buyer so elects to go forward, a copy of the
notice  shall be  furnished  to  Escrow  Agent  with an  additional  deposit  of
$50,000.00,  which  shall  become  part of the  Earnest  Money  Deposit  for all
purposes.  The Earnest Money Deposit shall not  thereafter be refundable  except
upon the terms otherwise set forth herein.

borings,  conducting  Hazardous Materials  inspections,  reviewing the books and
records of Seller  concerning  the Property  and  otherwise  conducting  its due
diligence  review of the Property.  Seller shall cooperate with and assist Buyer
in  making  such   inspections   and  reviews.   Seller  shall  give  Buyer  any
authorizations which may be required by Buyer in order to gain access to records
or other information pertaining to the Property or the use thereof maintained by
any governmental or  quasi-governmental  authority or  organization.  Buyer, for
itself  and its  agents,  agrees not to enter into any  contract  with  existing
tenants  without the written consent of Seller if such contract would be binding
upon Seller should this transaction fail to close. Buyer shall have the right to
have due diligence interviews and other discussions or negotiations with tenants
but shall not interfere with the tenants' businesses.

                  (c)  Buyer,   through  its   officers   or  other   authorized
representatives,  shall  have the right to  reasonable  access to all  Materials
(other than privileged or confidential  litigation materials) for the purpose of
reviewing and copying the same.

completion.  If the assessment  report  discloses the existence of any Hazardous
Material or any other  matters  concerning  the  environmental  condition of the
Property or its environs,  Buyer may notify  Seller in writing,  within ten (10)

this Agreement,  whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall
return to Buyer its Earnest Money Deposit.

         3.3 Time and Place of Closing.  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties,
the Closing shall take place at the offices of Escrow Agent at 10:00 A.M. on the

Buyer will have ten (10) days from  receipt of the Title  Commitment  (including
legible  copies of all recorded  exceptions  noted therein) and Survey to notify
Seller in writing  of any Title  Defects,  encroachments  or other  matters  not

notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days of Buyer's notice if Seller intends
to cure any Title Defect or other  objection.  If Seller elects to cure,  Seller
shall use diligent  efforts to cure the Title Defects  and/or  objections by the
Closing Date (as it may be  extended).  If Seller  elects not to cure or if such
Title Defects and/or  objections are not cured,  Buyer shall have the right,  in
lieu of any other remedies,  to: (i) refuse to purchase the Property,  terminate
this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit;  or (ii) waive
such Title  Defects  and/or  objections  and close the  purchase of the Property
subject to them.

                  (b)  Miscellaneous  Title  Matters.  If a search  of the title
discloses judgments,  bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having
names the same as or similar to that of Seller,  Seller shall on request deliver
to Buyer an affidavit stating, if true, that such judgments, bankruptcies or the
returns are not against Seller.  Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to
the Title  Insurance agent at Closing such  documentation,  if any, as the Title
Insurance  underwriter  shall reasonably  require to evidence that the execution
and  delivery  of  this  Agreement  and  the  consummation  of the  transactions
contemplated  hereby have been duly  authorized and that there are no mechanics'
liens on the  Property  or  parties in  possession  of the  Property  other than

                                              JOINDER OF ESCROW AGENT


         1. Duties.  Escrow Agent joins herein for the purpose of  acknowledging
receipt of the initial Earnest Money Deposit and agrees to comply with the terms
hereof  insofar as they apply to Escrow  Agent.  Escrow Agent shall  receive and
hold the Earnest  Money Deposit in trust,  to be disposed of in accordance  with
the provisions of this joinder and Section 2.2 of the foregoing Agreement.


                                                       -23-





         2.  Indemnity.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party except
for claims resulting from the gross  negligence or willful  misconduct of Escrow
Agent. If the escrow is involved in any  controversy or litigation,  the parties
hereto  shall  jointly and  severally  indemnify  and hold Escrow Agent free and
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage,  liability or expense,
including  costs of reasonable  attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may be put
or which  may  incur by reason of or in  connection  with  such  controversy  or
litigation,  except to the extent it is finally determined that such controversy
or  litigation   resulted  from  Escrow  Agent's  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct.  If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents),  the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.

         3.  Conflicting  Demands.  If conflicting  demands are made upon Escrow
Agent with respect to the escrow, the parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow
Agent shall have the absolute right to do either or both of the  following:  (i)
withhold  and stop all  proceedings  in  performance  of this  escrow  and await
settlement  of  the  controversy  by  final  appropriate  legal  proceedings  or
otherwise as it may require;  or (ii) file suit for  declaratory  relief  and/or
interpleader  and  obtain  an order  from the court  requiring  the  parties  to
interplead  and litigate in such court their several  claims and rights  between
themselves.  Upon the filing of any such declaratory relief or interpleader suit
and  tender of the  Earnest  Money  Deposit  to the court,  Escrow  Agent  shall
thereupon  be fully  released and  discharged  from any and all  obligations  to
further  perform the duties or  obligations  imposed  upon it.  Buyer and Seller
agree to  respond  promptly  in  writing  to any  request  by  Escrow  Agent for
clarification,  consent  or  instructions.  Any action  proposed  to be taken by
Escrow  Agent for which  approval of Buyer and/or  Seller is requested  shall be
considered  approved  if  Escrow  Agent  does  not  receive  written  notice  of
disapproval  within  fourteen (14) days after a written  request for approval is
received by the party whose approval is being requested.  Escrow Agent shall not
be required to take any action for which  approval  of Buyer  and/or  Seller has
been sought unless such approval has been received.  No  disbursements  shall be
made,  other  than as  provided  in  Sections  2.2 and  3.1(a) of the  foregoing
Agreement,  or to a court in an interpleader  action,  unless Escrow Agent shall
have given written notice of the proposed  disbursement  to Buyer and Seller and
neither  Buyer nor Seller  shall have  delivered  any written  objection  to the
disbursement within 14 days after receipt of Escrow Agent's notice. No notice by
Buyer or Seller to Escrow Agent of disapproval of a proposed action shall affect
the right of Escrow  Agent to take any action as to which such  approval  is not
required.

         4. Continuing Counsel. Seller acknowledges that Escrow Agent is counsel
to Buyer  herein and Seller  agrees that in the event of a dispute  hereunder or
otherwise between Seller and Buyer, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Buyer
notwithstanding  that it is acting  and will  continue  to act as  Escrow  Agent
hereunder,  it being  acknowledged  by all parties  that Escrow  Agent's  duties
hereunder are ministerial in nature.



                                                       -24-






         5. Tax Identification.  Seller and Buyer shall provide to Escrow Agent
appropriate Federal tax identification numbers.

transferred to Buyer at the conclusion of the Closing.

                  6.2  Risk of  Loss.  All  risk of loss to the  Property  shall

taking, notify Buyer thereof and Buyer shall have the option to:

                        (a)      terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller

amount of any  insurance  deductible  to the  extent it  reduced  the  insurance

         7.       TITLE MATTERS.

                  7.1      Title.

(including  legible copies of all recorded  exceptions noted therein) and Survey
to notify Seller in writing of any Title Defects, encroachments or other matters
not  acceptable  to Buyer which are not permitted by this  Agreement.  Any Title
Defect or other  objection  disclosed by the Title Insurance  Commitment  (other
than liens  removable by the payment of money) or the Survey which is not timely
specified in Buyer's written notice to Seller of Title Defects shall be deemed a
Permitted  Exception.  Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days
of Buyer's notice if Seller intends to cure any Title Defect or other objection.
If Seller  elects to cure,  Seller shall use diligent  efforts to cure the Title
Defects and/or objections by the Closing Date (as it may be extended). If Seller
elects not to cure or if such Title  Defects  and/or  objections  are not cured,
Buyer  shall have the right,  in lieu of any other  remedies,  to: (i) refuse to
purchase the  Property,  terminate  this  Agreement  and receive a return of the
Earnest Money Deposit;  or (ii) waive such Title Defects  and/or  objections and
close the purchase of the Property subject to them.

                           (b)      Miscellaneous Title Matters.  If a search of
the title  discloses  judgments,  bankruptcies  or other  returns  against other
persons  having names the same as or similar to that of Seller,  Seller shall on
request deliver to Buyer an affidavit

                                                      - 15 -

against  Seller.  Seller  further  agrees to  execute  and  deliver to the Title
Insurance  agent at Closing such  documentation,  if any, as the Title Insurance
underwriter shall reasonably require to evidence that the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby
have been duly authorized and that there are no mechanics' liens on the Property
or parties in  possession  of the Property  other than tenants  under Leases and

                                              JOINDER OF ESCROW AGENT


         1. Duties.  Escrow Agent joins herein for the purpose of  acknowledging
receipt of the initial Earnest Money Deposit and agrees to comply with the terms
hereof  insofar as they apply to Escrow  Agent.  Escrow Agent shall  receive and
hold the Earnest  Money Deposit in trust,  to be disposed of in accordance  with
the provisions of this joinder and Section of the foregoing Agreement.

         2.  Indemnity.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party except
for claims resulting from the gross  negligence or willful  misconduct of Escrow
Agent. If the escrow is involved in any  controversy or litigation,  the parties
hereto  shall  jointly and  severally  indemnify  and hold Escrow Agent free and
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage,  liability or expense,
including  costs of reasonable  attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may be put
or which  may  incur by reason of or in  connection  with  such  controversy  or
litigation,  except to the extent it is finally determined that such controversy
or  litigation   resulted  from  Escrow  Agent's  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct.  If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents),  the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.

         3.  Conflicting  Demands.  If conflicting  demands are made upon Escrow
Agent with respect to the escrow, the parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow
Agent shall have the absolute right to do either or both of the  following:  (i)
withhold  and stop all  proceedings  in  performance  of this  escrow  and await
settlement  of  the  controversy  by  final  appropriate  legal  proceedings  or
otherwise as it may require;  or (ii) file suit for  declaratory  relief  and/or
interpleader  and  obtain  an order  from the court  requiring  the  parties  to
interplead  and litigate in such court their several  claims and rights  between
themselves.  Upon the filing of any such declaratory relief or interpleader suit
and  tender of the  Earnest  Money  Deposit  to the court,  Escrow  Agent  shall
thereupon  be fully  released and  discharged  from any and all  obligations  to
further  perform the duties or  obligations  imposed  upon it.  Buyer and Seller
agree to  respond  promptly  in  writing  to any  request  by  Escrow  Agent for
clarification,  consent  or  instructions.  Any action  proposed  to be taken by
Escrow  Agent for which  approval of Buyer and/or  Seller is requested  shall be
considered  approved  if  Escrow  Agent  does  not  receive  written  notice  of
disapproval  within  fourteen (14) days after a written  request for approval is
received by the party whose approval is being requested.  Escrow Agent shall not
be required to take any action for which  approval  of Buyer  and/or  Seller has
been sought unless such approval has been received.  No  disbursements  shall be
made, other than as provided in Sections and of the foregoing Agreement, or to a






court in an  interpleader  action,  unless Escrow Agent shall have given written
notice of the proposed  disbursement  to Buyer and Seller and neither  Buyer nor
Seller shall have delivered any written objection to the disbursement  within 14
days after  receipt of Escrow  Agent's  notice.  No notice by Buyer or Seller to
Escrow  Agent of  disapproval  of a proposed  action  shall  affect the right of
Escrow Agent to take any action as to which such approval is not required.

         4. Continuing Counsel. Seller acknowledges that Escrow Agent is counsel
to Buyer  herein and Seller  agrees that in the event of a dispute  hereunder or
otherwise between Seller and Buyer, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Buyer
notwithstanding  that it is acting  and will  continue  to act as  Escrow  Agent
hereunder,  it being  acknowledged  by all parties  that Escrow  Agent's  duties
hereunder are ministerial in nature.

         5.       Tax Identification.  Seller and Buyer shall provide to
Escrow Agent appropriate Federal tax identification numbers.

physically  inspect the  premises,  and to otherwise  conduct its due  diligence
review of the  Property and all books,  records and  accounts of Seller  related
thereto.  Buyer hereby  agrees to indemnify  and hold Seller  harmless  from any
damages,  liabilities or claims for property  damage or personal  injury arising
out of such inspection and  investigation  by Buyer or its agents or independent
contractors. Within the Inspection Period, Buyer may, in its sole discretion and
for any reason or no reason, elect to go forward with this Agreement to closing,
which  election  shall be made by notice to Seller given  within the  Inspection
Period.  If such  notice is not timely  given,  this  Agreement  and all rights,
duties and obligations of Buyer and Seller hereunder, except any which expressly
survive termination,  shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return to
Buyer the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Buyer so elects to go forward,  the Earnest
Money Deposit shall not be refundable  except upon the terms otherwise set forth
herein.  The  Inspection  Period  may be  extended  by Buyer for Two  successive
periods of thirty (30) days each,  by written  notice to Seller given within the
Inspection Period, as extended,  as the case may be. Each such written notice of
extension  shall be accompanied by payment of One Thousand  Dollars  ($1,000.00)
for each extension of the Inspection  Period,  each of which,  when made,  shall
become part of the Earnest Money Deposit for all purposes.


               (b) Buyer,  through its officers,  employees and other authorized
representatives,  shall have the right to reasonable  access to the Property and
to all records of Seller related thereto  (including  without  limitation  title
information,  surveys,  environmental  testing and assessments reports and other
information  concerning  the condition of the  Property),  at  reasonable  times
during the Inspection Period for the purpose of inspecting the Property,  taking
soil borings, conducting Hazardous Materials inspections and reviewing the books
and records of Seller  concerning the Property.  Seller shall cooperate with and
assist  Buyer in making such  inspections  and  reviews;  and Seller  shall make
available  to Buyer  such of the  foregoing  as may be in  Seller's  possession.
Seller  shall give Buyer any  authorizations  which may be  required by Buyer in
order to gain access to records or other information  pertaining to the Property
or  the  use  thereof  maintained  by  any  governmental  or  quasi-governmental
authority or organization. Buyer, for itself and its agents, agrees not to enter
into any contract with existing tenants without the written consent of Seller if
such  contract  would be binding  upon Seller  should this  transaction  fail to
close.  Buyer shall have the right to have due  diligence  interviews  and other
discussions or negotiations with tenants.

        3.2 Hazardous  Material.  During the Inspection Period Buyer may cause a
"Phase 1" assessment of the Property to be made,  and a copy of any report shall
be submitted to Buyer and Seller promptly upon its  completion,  if made. If the
inspection report discloses the existence of any Hazardous  Material,  Buyer may
notify Seller in writing, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the
Phase 1 assessment  report (whether or not such date falls within the Inspection
Period) that it elects to terminate  this  Agreement,  whereupon  the  Agreement
shall  terminate  and  Escrow  Agent  shall  return to Buyer its  Earnest  Money
Deposit.

        3.3 Time and Place of Closing. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the
parties,  the  Closing  shall  take  place at the  offices  of  Escrow  Agent in
Jacksonville,  Florida,  at 10:00 A.M. on the date which is the Thirtieth (30th)
day following the expiration of the Inspection Period, as extended,  as the case
may be, as  provided  in Section  3.1(a).  Buyer  shall have One (1)  successive
options to  postpone  the  Closing  Date,  each for  another  thirty  (30) days,
provided Buyer notifies Seller of its intention to postpone prior to Closing (as
so postponed),  and with respect to each postponement  deposits and additional $
5,000.00  with Escrow  Agent,  each of which shall  become a part of the Earnest
Money Deposit for all purposes.

counsel  to Buyer  herein  and  Seller  agrees  that in the  event of a  dispute

                                Legal Description




                         REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT



This Real Estate  Purchase  Agreement  ("Agreement")  is entered into by PDI St.
Lucie I Limited  Partnership,  an Ohio limited partnership  ("Seller"),  and RRC
Acquisitions, Inc. ("Buyer"). The "Effective Date" of this Agreement will be the
date on which both  Seller  and Buyer  have  executed  this  Agreement.  For the
parties' convenience in reviewing this Agreement, all defined terms used in this
Agreement  will be  highlighted  by  boldface  print when first  defined in this
Agreement.

Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

      ss.1.  SALE OF THE PROPERTY.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this  Agreement,  Seller will sell to Buyer all of Seller's  right,
title and interest in and to the following  described  property.  All references
herein  to  the  "Land",  "Improvements",   "Personal  Property",  "Leases"  and
"Intangible  Property"  will have the meanings  attributed to such terms in this
ss.1.

      (a)   Land. The approximately  31.5 acre tract of land located off of U.S.
            I in Port St.  Lucie,  Florida,  which  tract  is more  particularly

            appurtenant  thereto,  including without  limitation,  all water and
            mineral rights, development rights, easements and rights-of-way.

      (b)   Improvements.  All  buildings  and other  improvements
            ------------
            located on the Land,  including,  without  limitation,
            the   shopping   center   buildings,   which   contain
            approximately  235,842 square feet of rentable  space,
            and  which  are  collectively  known as the  "Eastport
            Plaza  Shopping  Center",  together  with all  parking
            areas  and  other  site  and  accessory   improvements
            located on the Land and all  systems,  facilities  and
            fixtures   located   within   such   shopping   center
            buildings.

      (c)   Personal Property. All tools,  machinery,  appliances,
            -----------------
            fixtures    (to   the   extent   not   part   of   the
            Improvements),    floor    and    window    coverings,
            furnishings,  signs,  equipment,  inventory,  supplies
            and  tangible  personal  property  owned by Seller and
            used in  connection  with the operation of and located
            on  the   Real   Property,   as  the   same  are  more
            particularly described in Exhibit B.

      (d)   Leases.  All leases with any existing  tenants of the Real  Property
            (together   with   any   amendments,   extensions,   guaranties   or
            modifications  to such  leases),  as the same are more  particularly
            described in the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit C;


      (e)   Intangible  Property.  Any  rights  in and  to  those,
            --------------------
            contracts,     agreements,    utility    arrangements,
            warranties,    guarantees,     indemnities,    claims,
            licenses,    applications,    permits,    construction
            warranties,   certificates  of  occupancy,  plans  and

            Plaza"),  as the same are more particularly  described
            in  Exhibit  D.   Notwithstanding   anything   to  the
            contrary  contained  herein,  the only contracts to be
            assigned to and assumed by Buyer and, hence,  included
            within the  definition  of  "Intangible  Property" for
            the  purposes  of  this   Agreement,   will  be  those
            contracts  identified  on  attached  Exhibit  D, which
            either:  (i) are not  cancelable  upon 30 days or less
            notice;  or (ii) although  cancelable  upon 30 days or
            less notice, are nonetheless  specifically  designated
            by  Buyer  in a  written  notice  to  Seller  as being
            contracts  which Buyer  desires to have assigned to it
            at closing (collectively, the "Surviving Contracts").

The Land and Improvements are hereinafter  collectively referred to as the "Real
Property". The Real Property,  Personal Property, Leases and Intangible Property
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property".

      ss.2.  DEPOSIT.  Within two business days after the Effective Date,  Buyer
will  deposit  with the law firm of  Maguire,  Voorhis  & Wells,  P.A.  ("Escrow
Agent") cash in the sum of $50,000 as a good faith deposit.  Within two business
days after date of Buyer's  satisfaction  of its  inspection  contingency  under
ss.5,  Buyer  will  deposit  with  Escrow  Agent  cash in an  additional  sum of
$100,000,  which  amount  will  also  be  held  pursuant  to the  terms  of this
Agreement. All amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent hereunder will be held in
an  interest-bearing  account,  with  all  references  herein  to the  "Deposit"
specifically  including not only the initial principal sum of $50,000,  but also
the additional  principal sum of $100,000  (once paid to the Escrow Agent),  and
all interest earned on such principal sums. The Deposit will be disbursed in the
following manner:

      (a)   If the closing occurs in the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,
            then the  Deposit  will be paid to Seller  and  applied  as a credit
            against the Purchase Price payable at closing;
      (b)   If this  Agreement is  terminated  under ss.5 as a result of Buyer's
            failure to satisfy or waive its inspection  contingency  under ss.5,
            then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer;
      (c)   If the closing  fails to occur as a result of Seller's
            default  hereunder,  then the Deposit will be returned
            to  Buyer,  without  prejudice  to  Buyer's  right  to
            pursue the remedy of specific  performance  to redress
            such default; and
            (d)   If the  closing  fails to  occur as a result  of
            Buyer's  default  hereunder,  then the Deposit will be
            paid  to  Seller  as  full  and  complete   liquidated
            damages to redress such default.

      ss.3.  PURCHASE  PRICE.  The  purchase  price  for  the  Property  will be
$14,804,652  ("Purchase  Price").  The  Purchase  Price  will be paid in cash at
closing by means of a federal funds wire transfer. The Purchase Price payable at
closing  will be  subject  to such  prorations,  credits,  allowances  and other
adjustments as are provided for in this Agreement.

      ss.4. INSPECTION CONTINGENCY. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are
contingent  upon Buyer  determining,  on or before  March 25, 1997  ("Inspection
Period"), that the Property is acceptable to Buyer. Seller will permit Buyer and
Buyer's agents and  contractors  access to the Property and to all files,  books
and records  maintained by Seller with respect to the Property at all reasonable
times during the  Inspection  Period,  so that Buyer can conduct all such tests,
studies and  inspections of the Property as Buyer deems  appropriate  and review
all such files, books and records as Buyer deems  appropriate.  All files, books
and records  maintained  by Seller  with  respect to the  Property  will be made
available for inspection by Buyer and Buyer's agents and contractors at Seller's
offices at Suite 1350, 255 South Orange  Avenue,  Orlando,  Florida.  During the
Inspection  Period,  Buyer will also be permitted to interview all tenants under
the Leases,  provided that it provide  advance  notice to Seller of the times of
any such  interviews  and  permits  a  representative  of  Seller  a  reasonable
opportunity to be present during such interviews.


Buyer agrees to indemnify  and hold Seller  harmless  from any liability or loss
incurred  by Seller as a result of Buyer's  activities  at the  Property  and to
promptly  restore  any  damage  caused  to the  Property  as a  result  of  such
activities. If Buyer fails to timely satisfy or waive its inspection contingency
under this ss.4 then,  within ten days after the  expiration  of the  Inspection
Period,  Buyer will deliver to Seller copies of all written reports  received by
Buyer with respect to the various tests,  studies and  inspections  conducted by
Buyer or its agents or contractors  with respect to the Property and will return
to Seller  copies of all of Seller's  files,  books and records made by Buyer or
its agents or contractors during such Inspection Period.

In order to further facilitate Buyer's determination of the acceptability of the
Property,  Seller will,  within three  business days after the  Effective  Date,
provide the following materials to Buyer:

      (a)    Copies of all Leases;
      (b)    Copies  of  all  environmental  reports  in its  possession  with
         respect to the Real Property;
      (c) The most  current  survey of the Real  Property;  (d) The most  recent
      title  policy for the Real  Property;  (e) Copies of  financial  operating
      statements for the Property (that
         is,  income  and  expense  statements)  for the  1994,  1995 and 1996
         calendar years;
      (f)    Copies of real  estate  tax bills for the Real  Property  for the
         calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996;
      (g)    Copies of any existing service contracts related to the Property;
      (h)    Copies of utilities  bills  relating to the operation of the Real
         Property for the calendar year 1996;
      (i)    Copies of all  certificates  of occupancy in its possession  with
         respect to the Improvements;
      (j)    Copies   of  all  plans  and   specifications   related   to  the
         Improvements  including,  where  appropriate,  civil,  structural and
         mechanical drawings;
      (k)    Copies of all expense recovery  reconciliations  for the calendar
         years 1995 and 1996;
      (l)    Seller's operating budget for the calendar year 1996;
      (m)    Evidence  that all  sales  tax  payments  with  respect  to rents
         payable for the Real Property are current.

If Buyer gives  Seller  written  notice  within the  Inspection  Period that the
results of its inspections are acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will be obligated
to pay the  additional  $100,000  deposit to Escrow Agent at the time and in the
manner  contemplated in ss.2 hereof and the parties will  thereafter  proceed to
close  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Property  in the manner  contemplated  in this
Agreement.  If Buyer gives Seller written  notice within the  Inspection  Period
that the results of its  inspections are  unacceptable to Buyer,  for any reason
whatsoever (as determined by Buyer in its sole  discretion) or if Buyer fails to
give any written  notice  concerning  the  acceptability  of its  inspections to
Seller during the Inspection Period, then in either such event, the Deposit will
be returned to Buyer, this Agreement will thereupon  automatically terminate and
the parties will be relieved of all further rights,  liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification,  restoration and other
obligations expressly placed upon it under this ss.4.

      ss.5.  TITLE  COMMITMENT.  Within  fifteen days after the Effective  Date,
Seller  will  cause  First  American  Title  Insurance  Company  or  some  other
nationally-recognized  title  insurance  company  acceptable  to  Buyer  ("Title
Company")  to furnish  to Buyer a  commitment  for an ALTA Form B Owner's  Title
Insurance Policy in the face amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible
copies  of  all  title  exceptions  noted  in  such  title  commitment   ("Title
Commitment").  The Title  Commitment  will show that Seller has  marketable  fee
simple  title to the  Property,  free and clear of all  liens and  encumbrances,
excepting only those liens and  encumbrances  which are approved by Buyer in the
manner hereinafter set forth in this ss.5. If Buyer wishes to obtain a survey of
the Real Property (other than any existing survey furnished to Buyer pursuant to
ss.4), it will be required to do so at its sole expense.


If the  Title  Commitment  (or any  survey  obtained  by  Buyer)  discloses  any
exceptions to title which are unacceptable to Buyer,  then Buyer will have seven
days after its receipt of such Title  Commitment  in which to deliver in writing
to  Seller  any  objection  which  Buyer may have to any such  title  exceptions
("Title  Notice").  Buyer will be deemed to have  approved any title  exceptions
appearing  in the  Title  Commitment,  which  are not  objected  to in a  timely
delivered Title Notice and,  thereafter,  such additional  title exceptions will
also be treated as "Permitted Exceptions" for the purposes of this Agreement.

If Buyer objects to any such  additional  title  exception by delivering a Title
Notice to Seller within the aforementioned seven-day period, then Seller, at its
expense, will use its reasonable efforts to satisfy the objections made by Buyer
in its Title Notice within five days after Seller's receipt of the Title Notice.
If Seller  fails to satisfy  all of such  objections  within the  aforementioned
five-day  period then Buyer will have the option of either:  (a) terminating its
obligations  with  respect to the  purchase of the  Property  by giving  written
notice of  termination  to Seller within three days after the  expiration of the
aforementioned  five-day period, in which event, the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer and, thereafter,  neither party will have any further rights,  liabilities
or  obligations  hereunder  with  respect to the  Property,  except for  Buyer's
indemnification,  restoration  and other  obligations  expressly  placed upon it
under ss.4; or (b) waiving its objections  under the Title Notice and proceeding
to close on the purchase of the Property.  If Seller is successful in satisfying
any of Buyer's  objections,  then  Seller  will  deliver to Buyer  proof of such
satisfaction  and will also deliver to Buyer the Title  Company's  related Title
Commitment endorsement.

      ss.6.  ESTOPPEL  CERTIFICATES.  Within 30 days after the  Effective  Date,
Landlord will use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant an estoppel  certificate
("Estoppel Certificate"), executed by each tenant under the Leases and dated not
earlier than the Effective  Date.  Such Estoppel  Certificates  will address the
status  of rent  payments,  tenant  improvements,  defaults  and  other  matters
relating to the Leases,  and will, except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer, be in
substantially  the form and  content  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  H.  Buyer's
obligations  under  this  Agreement  will be  expressly  contingent  upon  Buyer
receiving executed Estoppel Certificates from the "Anchor Tenants" (as that term
is hereinafter  defined) and from those other tenants  occupying at least 90% of
the remaining  rentable square footage  contained within the Real Property.  For
the purpose of this  Agreement,  "Anchor  Tenants" will mean Publix,  Walgreens,
K-Mart and Sears Homelife.

      ss.7. CLOSING PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. If Seller's sale of the Property
to Buyer closes in the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,  then Buyer's and
Seller's respective economic rights and obligations with respect to the Property
will be  determined  in the manner  described in this ss.7.  Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all of the income and expense prorations contemplated
hereunder will be calculated,  apportioned and prorated between Buyer and Seller
as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the date of closing.

      (a)   Real  Estate  Taxes.  Seller will pay or credit on the
            -------------------
            Purchase  Price  the  amount  of all  delinquent  real
            estate taxes and installments of special  insessments,
            including  penalties and interest thereon,  that are a
            lien on the Real  Property  as of the date of closing.
            Seller  will  also  credit on the  Purchase  Price all
            unpaid real estate taxes and  installments  of special
            assessments  which are not yet due for years  prior to
            the   closing   and  a  portion   of  such  taxes  and
            installments   for  the  year  of  closing,   prorated
            through  the date of  closing.  The  proration  of the
            undetermined   taxes  and   installments   of  special
            assessments  will be  based  upon a 365 day  year  and
            upon the most  recently  available  tax use,  rate and
            valuation  for the Real  Property.  The  proration  of
            taxes and  installments of assessments  hereunder will
            be  reprorated  upon  request by either party upon the
            issuance  of the  actual  tax  bill  for  the  year of
            closing  and will  then be based  upon the  amount  of
            such taxes and  installments of assessments  which are
            due  on  the  earliest   payment  date   specified  by
            applicable   law.   Any  request  for  a   reproration
            hereunder  must be made on or  before  December  31 of
            the year of closing.


      (b)   Rents.  All rents and other  payments due from the tenants under the
            Leases will be prorated in the manner  hereinafter set forth in this
            subparagraph (b).

                  (i)Base Rents.  Seller will credit on the Purchase  Price that
                     portion  of all Base  Rents  (as that  term is  hereinafter
                     defined)  payable for the calendar month of closing,  which
                     are  attributable  to the period from and after the date of
                     closing.  Seller  will be entitled to retain any Base Rents
                     collected  by it  prior to or  after  the date of  closing,
                     which are  attributable  either to the month of  closing or
                     any months preceding the month of closing. If following the
                     date of  closing,  Buyer  collects  Base  Rents  which  are
                     attributable  to the period  prior to the date of  closing,
                     then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein,  Buyer
                     will  immediately  pay  such  Base  Rents  to  Seller.   If
                     following the date of closing,  Seller  collects Base Rents
                     which  are  attributable  to any  month  after the month of
                     closing,  then Seller will  immediately pay such Base Rents
                     to  Buyer.   Notwithstanding   anything  to  the   contrary
                     contained  herein,  any Base Rents  collected by Buyer from
                     any tenant  after the date of closing will first be applied
                     by Buyer  toward the payment of Base Rents owed to Buyer by
                     such  tenant for  months  after the month of  closing,  and
                     then, and only then,  will any excess Base Rents  collected
                     by Buyer be paid to Seller under this subparagraph (i). For
                     the purpose of this  Agreement,  "Base Rents" will mean any
                     fixed,  minimum  rent  payable by tenants  under the Leases
                     excluding, however, any Operating Expense Payments (as that
                     term is hereinafter defined).

                  (ii)  Operating  Expense  Payments.  Seller will credit on the
                     Purchase  Price  that  portion  of  any  Operating  Expense
                     Payments (as that term is hereinafter  defined) payable for
                     the calendar month of closing,  which are  attributable  to
                     the period from and after the date of closing.  Seller will
                     be entitled to any  Operating  Expense  Payments  which are
                     both paid periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants
                     under the Leases and are  collected by it prior to or after
                     the date of  closing  and  which are  further  attributable
                     either to the month of closing or any months  preceding the
                     month of closing.  If following the date of closing,  Buyer
                     collects  any  Operating  Expense  Payments  which are paid
                     periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
                     Leases and which are  attributable  to the period  prior to
                     the date of closing,  then,  except as otherwise  expressly
                     provided herein,  Buyer will immediately pay such Operating
                     Expense  Payments  to  Buyer.  If,  following  the  date of
                     closing,  Seller collects any Operating  Expense  Payments,
                     which are paid  periodically  on an estimated  basis by any
                     tenants under the Leases, and which are attributable to any
                     month  after  the  month  of  closing,   then  Seller  will
                     immediately pay such Operating Expenses Payments to Seller.
                     Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein,
                     any   Operating   Expenses   Payments,   which   are   paid
                     periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
                     Leases,  and which are  collected  by Buyer from any tenant
                     after the date of  closing,  will first be applied by Buyer
                     toward the payment of any Operating  Expense  Payments owed
                     to Buyer by such  tenant  for  months  after  the  month of
                     closing, and then, and only then, will any excess Operating
                     Expense Payments collected by Buyer be paid to Seller under
                     this  subparagraph  (ii).  With  respect  to any  Operating
                     Expense  Payments,   which  are  paid  periodically  on  an
                     estimated basis by any tenants under the Leases, Buyer will



                     make a final reconciliation of the actual expenses incurred
                     in connection  with the Real Property for any fiscal period
                     which  includes  the date of closing at the time and in the
                     manner  required  under the terms of the Leases.  Within 30
                     days  after the  completion  of each  such  reconciliation,
                     Buyer will provide  written  notice to Seller of the amount
                     of  such  reconciliation  and  the  portion  of the  actual
                     Operating  Expense Payments of the subject tenant which are
                     attributable  to the  period  prior to the date of  closing
                     (with such  determination  being made strictly on the basis
                     of the number of days  prior to the date of  closing  which
                     are   included   in  the  fiscal   period  for  which  such
                     reconciliation is being made). If Buyer collects  Operating
                     Expense  Payments  from any tenant  under any Lease  which,
                     when added to all  periodic,  estimated  Operating  Expense
                     Payments collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date
                     of closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
                     for which such final  reconciliation is being made), exceed
                     the amount of the Tenant's actual Operating Expense Payment
                     obligation  for the  portion of the subject  fiscal  period
                     falling after the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within
                     30 days  after its  collection  of such  Operating  Expense
                     Payments, pay to Seller the amount of such excess. If Buyer
                     is required as a result of any such final reconciliation to
                     make any  refund to any  tenants  under the  Leases for any
                     excess periodic Operating Expense Payments made by any such
                     tenants  under the  Leases,  then Seller will pay to Buyer,
                     within  30  days   after   Seller's   receipt   of  Buyer's
                     determination  that any such refund is due, an amount equal
                     to that portion of the refund which is  attributable to the
                     period   prior  to  the   date  of   closing   (with   such
                     determination  being  made  strictly  on the  basis  of the
                     number  of days  prior to the  date of  closing  which  are
                     included in the fiscal period for which such reconciliation
                     is being  made).Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
                     contained  herein,  to the  extent any Lease  requires  any
                     tenant to make any Operating Expense Payments other than on
                     an estimated, periodic basis (for example, an obligation of
                     a tenant to reimburse the owner of the Real Property by way
                     of an annual lump sum payment  for its  allocable  share of
                     the actual real estate taxes or insurance  premiums paid by
                     such  owner),  and if any such  Operating  Expense  Payment
                     relates to expenses which are  attributable to periods both
                     before and after the date of closing, then: (i) if any such
                     Operating Expense Payment is payable to Seller prior to the
                     date of closing,  Seller will credit on the Purchase  Price
                     the  portion of such  Operating  Expense  Payment  which is
                     attributable  to the  period  from  and  after  the date of
                     closing;  and (ii) if such  Operating  Expense  Payment  is
                     payable after the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within
                     30 days after its collection of any such Operating  Expense
                     Payments,  make a payment  to Seller of an amount  equal to
                     that  portion of the  Operating  Expense  Payment  which is
                     attributable  to the period  prior to the date of  closing.
                     For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,  "Operating  Expense
                     Payments"  will mean all payments made by the tenants under
                     the Leases which are stated to be applicable towards common
                     area maintenance charges,  insurance premiums,  real estate
                     taxes  and  similar  expenses   associated  with  the  Real
                     Property.

                  (iii)  Overage   Rents.   Overage   Rents  (as  that  term  is
                     hereinafter defined) will be separately prorated under each
                     Lease on the basis of the  fiscal  period set forth in each
                     Lease for the payment of such  Overage  Rents.  Any Overage
                     Rents  received by Seller or Buyer before or after the date
                     of  closing  will  be  retained  by the  recipient  of such
                     payments,  pending a final  reconciliation  based  upon the
                     actual  Overage  Rents  owed for any  fiscal  period  which
                     includes  the date of  closing.  Buyer  will make the final
                     reconciliation at the time and in the manner required under
                     the  terms  of  each  Lease.   Within  30  days  after  the
                     completion  of each such final  reconciliation,  Buyer will
                     provide  written  notice to  Seller  of the  amount of such
                     final  reconciliation and the portion of the actual Overage



                     Rents for the subject tenant which are  attributable to the
                     period  prior to the  date of  closing.  If Buyer  actually
                     collects  Overage  Rents from any  tenant  under any Lease,
                     which, when added to all estimated,  periodic Overage Rents
                     collected  from  such  tenant  by Buyer  after  the date of
                     closing (but which are  attributable  to the fiscal  period
                     for which such final  reconciliation is being made), exceed
                     the amount of the Tenant's  actual Overage Rent  obligation
                     for the portion of the subject  fiscal period falling after
                     the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within 30 days after
                     its  collection  of such Overage  Rents,  pay to Seller the
                     amount of such excess.
                  (iv) Delinquent  Rents.  Buyer and Seller  agree that,  to the
                     extent any existing  tenants under any of the Leases (other
                     than the Anchor Tenants and the following  national credits
                     tenants - Cato,  Beneficial,  Subway and Household Finance)
                     are,  as  of  the  last  day  of  the  Inspection   Period,
                     delinquent on their Base Rent  obligations  for a period of
                     more than 60 days ("Delinquent  Rent"),  then there will be
                     credited  against the  Purchase  Price  payable by Buyer at
                     closing an amount  equal to (a) the excess,  if any, of the
                     aggregate  annual  Effective  Gross Income (as that term is
                     hereinafter  defined)  produced under all of the Delinquent
                     Tenant's Leases, in the aggregate, over $30,000, divided by
                     (b) a capitalization  rate of 12%. For the purposes of this
                     Agreement,  "Effective  Gross  Income"  means  the  average
                     annual  Base  Rent  and  Operating  Expense  Payments  (but
                     exclusive  of any portion of any  portion of any  Operating
                     Expense  Payments  attributable  to  a 4%  management  fee)
                     payable by the  applicable  tenant over the initial term of
                     any such lease,  less an amount  equal to all free rent and
                     other  rent  concessions  made  to  the  tenant  under  the
                     applicable lease  (amortized  ratably over each year of the
                     lease)  and  less a  credit  reserve  of 5% of the  average
                     annual Base Rent and Operating  Expense  Payments due under
                     any such lease.

      (c)   Utilities.  Coincident  with the  closing  of  Buyer's
            ---------
            purchase  of the  Property,  Seller  will  notify  all
            utility  companies  servicing the Real Property of the
            change  in  ownership   and  direct  that  all  future
            billings  be made to Buyer at the  address of the Real
            Property   (or  such   other   address  as  Buyer  may
            direct).  Seller will obtain final meter  readings for
            all  utilities as of the date of closing and will have
            final  bills  rendered  directly  to  Seller.  In  the
            event that final  meter  readings  cannot be  obtained
            due  to  the  utility  companies'  internal  operating
            procedures.   Seller  will  reimburse  Buyer  for  any
            payments to such  utilities  applicable  to the period
            prior to the closing date  immediately upon receipt of
            written evidence of such payments by Buyer.


      (d)   Security  Deposits.   Seller  will  pay  to  Buyer  at
            ------------------
            closing (or credit on the  Purchase  Price  payable at
            closing)  an  amount  equal to all  security  deposits
            which,  as of the date of  closing,  Seller is legally
            required  to  ultimately  refund to tenants  under the
            Leases.  A listing of all such  security  deposits  as
            of the  Effective  Date is  included  in the rent roll
            attached  hereto as  Exhibit  C. The  listing  of such
            security  deposits will be updated by Seller as of the
            date of closing.

      (e)   Accounts  Receivable.  All accounts receivable related
            --------------------
            to the Property,  which are attributable to the period
            prior to the date of the closing  (including,  without
            limitation,  those related to  delinquent  payments of
            Base  Rent,   Overage  Rents  and  Operating   Expense
            Payments by any former or existing  tenant of the Real
            Property),  will  remain  the  property  of Seller and
            Seller  may  pursue the  collection  of such  accounts
            receivable   by  all   available   legal  means.   All
            accounts  receivable related to the Property which are
            attributable  to the period from and after the date of
            closing  will be the  property of Buyer.  A listing of
            all accounts  receivable  for existing  tenants of the
            Real Property as of the Effective  Date is attached to
            this  Agreement  as  Exhibit  F. The  listing  of such
            accounts  receivable  will be  updated by Seller as of
            the date of  closing.  Buyer  will at all times  after
            the date of closing  continue to invoice any  existing
            tenant  of  the  Real   Property   for  all   accounts
            receivable   attributable   to   any   such   tenant's
            occupancy  of the Real  Property  prior to the date of
            closing  and  will  fully  cooperate  with  Seller  in
            Seller's  efforts to collect all  accounts  receivable
            which are the property of Seller hereunder.

      (f)   Payments  under  Surviving  Contracts.  Buyer  will be
            -------------------------------------
            entitled to a credit  against the  Purchase  Price for
            all  sums,   which  are  due  and  unpaid   under  the
            Surviving  Contracts  as of the date of  closing,  and
            which  are  attributable  to the  period  prior to the
            date of  closing.  Similarly,  Seller will be entitled
            to  receive  an  additional  payment at closing to the
            extent  it  has  paid  any  sum  under  any  Surviving
            Contract,  which is  attributable  to the period  from
            and after the date of closing.

      (g)   Leasing   Costs.   Except   as   otherwise   expressly
            ---------------
            provided  herein,  Buyer will be  entitled to a credit
            against the  Purchase  Price at closing for the amount
            of all unpaid costs and expenses  which were  incurred
            (or are to be incurred) in connection  with any Leases
            executed,  modified or extended by Seller prior to the
            Effective Date,  including,  without  limitation,  all
            costs and  expenses  for tenant  improvements  (either
            completed   or  to   be   completed)   and   brokerage
            commissions     (collectively     "Leasing    Costs").
            Following its receipt of such  Purchase  Price credit,
            Buyer will  thereafter be solely  responsible  for the
            payment  of any such  Leasing  Costs.  Notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary contained herein,  Buyer will



            be liable for and will not be  entitled  to any credit
            at closing for any Leasing  Costs  incurred  after the
            Effective  Date,  which are either:  (i) identified in
            Exhibit  G;  (ii)  set  forth as  Buyer's  obligations
            underss.12; or (iii)  otherwise  hereinafter  expressly

            will be prorated  through  the date of  closing,  with
            Seller  being  entitled to receive or obligated to pay
            (with any required  payment  being made at or prior to
            closing),  as the  case  may be,  all  such  items  of
            income or expense  attributable to the period prior to
            the date of  closing,  and  Buyer  being  entitled  to
            receive or  obligated  to pay, as the case may be, all
            such items of income and expenses  attributable to the
            period from and after the date of closing.

      (i)   Items  Not to be  Prorated.  No  proration  or  credit
            --------------------------
            will be made or given  hereunder  for:  (i)  insurance
            premiums; (ii) employee salaries,  benefits,  bonuses,
            payroll taxes or other employee  costs;  and (iii) any
            amount  owing  under  any  contracts  related  to  the
            operation of the  Property,  other than the  Surviving
            Contracts.  Seller  will,  on or  before  the  date of
            closing,  terminate all agreements and pay all accrued
            costs related to such items.

For purposes of this ss.7, the determination of whether an item is "attributable
to" a particular period will, except as otherwise  expressly provided herein, be
made in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,  consistently
applied.

      ss.8.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF  SELLER.  For the  purpose  of
inducing  Buyer to enter into this  Agreement and consummate its purchase of the
Property,  Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as to the following as
of the date of Seller's execution of this Agreement.

      (a)   No  Proceedings.  To the  best of  Seller's  knowledge,  there is no
            action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending before any agency,
            court or  governmental  authority  which relate to the Seller or the
            Property  (including,  without  limitation,  any  eminent  domain or
            condemnation proceeding).

      (b)   Public Improvements.  To the best of Seller's knowledge,  Seller has
            not,  within  a  period  of  two  years  immediately  preceding  the
            Effective  Date,   received   written  notice  of  any  contemplated
            improvement  to the  Property by any public  authority,  the cost of
            which is to be assessed as a special tax or  assessment  against the
            Property in the future.

      (c)   Creditor Problems.  To the best of Seller's knowledge,  there are no
            attachments, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors or
            voluntary or  involuntary  proceedings  in bankruptcy  (or under any
            other debtor relief laws) pending against Seller or the Property.


      (d)   Leases.   Except  as   otherwise   disclosed   in  the
            ------
            accounts  receivable report attached hereto as Exhibit
            F or the list of lease  defaults  attached  hereto  as
            Exhibit  I,  all of the  Leases  are,  to the  best of
            Seller's knowledge,  in full force and effect, without
            any  default  on the  part  of  either  Seller  or the
            tenant  thereunder.  The  terms  and  rates for all of
            the  Leases,  as set forth in the rent  roll  attached
            hereto as Exhibit C, are true and accurate.

      (e)   Authority.  Seller  is an  Ohio  limited  partnership,
            ---------
            properly  organized  under  the  laws of the  State of
            Ohio,  and properly  authorized to own property and do
            business  in  the  State  of  Florida.  Seller  is the
            owner of the  Property  and has the  right,  power and
            legal  capacity  to enter into this  Agreement  and to
            convey the  Property  to Buyer  pursuant  to the terms
            and  provisions   hereof  and  to  perform  its  other
            obligations   hereunder.   The   parties  and  persons
            executing  this  Agreement  on behalf  of Seller  have
            been duly  authorized to execute this  Agreement.  The
            execution   of   this   Agreement   by   Seller,   the
            performance  by Seller of its  obligations  hereunder,
            and the sale,  transfer,  conveyance  and  assignments
            contemplated  hereunder  do not require the consent of
            any third  party,  nor do any of such acts violate the
            terms and  provisions of any agreement to which Seller
            is a party.

      (f)   No  Litigation.  To the  best of  Seller's  knowledge,  there  is no
            pending  litigation  relating to the Property (other than collection
            actions  initiated  by Seller  against  former  tenants  of the Real
            Property).

      (g)   Environmental  Matters.  Except as otherwise disclosed
            ----------------------
            in any  environmental  report made  available to Buyer
            by  Seller  pursuant  to  the   requirements  of  this
            Agreement,  no  "Hazardous  Material" (as that term is
            hereinafter  defined)  has  been  generated,  treated,
            stored, recycled,  transported,  released, discharged,
            emitted,  disposed of or  otherwise  handled at, on or
            under  the  Property  by  Seller,  or,  to the best of
            Seller's  knowledge,  by any other party, in violation
            of, and no  enforcement  action has been  initiated or
            noticed  against  Seller  or, to the best of  Seller's
            knowledge,  against any other party,  pursuant to, any
            applicable  federal,  state or local law  relating  to
            the health, safety or environment,  including, without
            limitation,  the Comprehensive  Environmental Response
            Compensation   and   Liability   Act,   the   Resource
            Conservation   and   Recovery   Act,   the   Hazardous
            Materials  Transportation  Act, the Clean Water Act or
            the Toxic  Substance  Control Act. For the purposes of
            this Agreement,  the term  "Hazardous  Material" means

            hazardous   waste,   hazardous   material,   hazardous
            substance,  oil,  petroleum or  petroleum  by-product,
            which is defined in or  regulated  pursuant  to any of
            the  laws  mentioned  in  the  immediately   preceding
            sentence  of this  section.  Notwithstanding  anything
            to the contrary  contained  herein,  Seller's delivery
            of any environmental  reports to Buyer pursuant to the
            requirements  of this  Agreement  will not  constitute
            any  representation  or warranty  by Seller  regarding
            the truth or  accuracy of any such  reports;  it being
            understood  and agreed that Seller has  provided  such
            reports  solely to  facilitate  Buyer's  review of the
            Property.


EXCEPT FOR THOSE LIMITED  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS
ss.8, BUYER  ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES THAT IT IS PURCHASING  PROPERTY IN ITS "AS

CONDITION  AND  CHARACTER  OF  PROPERTY,   INCLUDING,  WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  THE
ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITION OF THE REAL PROPERTY AND THE PHYSICAL  CONDITION OF ALL
STRUCTURAL AND NONSTRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND ELEMENTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. EXCEPT
AS OTHERWISE  EXPRESSLY  PROVIDED  HEREIN,  BUYER WILL  PURCHASE AND ACQUIRE THE
PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY  REPRESENTATION  OR WARRANTY BY SELLER  WHATSOEVER,  EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO THE  CONDITION  OR CHARACTER OF THE PROPERTY OR AS TO
ITS  FITNESS  FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  ALL OF WHICH ARE  HEREBY  EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMED BY SELLER.

            including,  without limitation, its payment of the Purchase Price to
            Seller in the  manner set forth in  ss.ss.3  and 11 hereof,  and its
            execution and delivery to Seller of all of those documents  required
            to be executed and delivered by it pursuant to ss.11; and

      (b)   The  simultaneous  closing  of  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Companion
            Property  under the terms of the Companion  Contract (as those terms
            are hereinafter defined).

Buyer's  obligation  to  purchase  the  Property  from  Seller is subject to the
satisfaction (or Buyer's waiver) on or before the date of closing, of all of the
following conditions precedent:

      (a)   The  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  Buyer's  inspection

      (c)   All of Seller's  representations  and warranties under
            ss.7 being  materially  true and  correct as of the date
            of closing; and
      (d)   The  simultaneous  closing  of  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Companion
            Property under the terms of the Companion Contract.

Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  it  is  hereby
acknowledged  and agreed  that the fact that any tenant  (other  than any Anchor
Tenant) is, as of the date of closing,  delinquent  in the payment of any amount
payable  by it under  any Lease  will not  constitute  a default  on the part of
Seller hereunder or a breach of any of its  representations  or warranties,  nor
will any such failure, in and of itself,  permit Buyer to terminate or defer its
obligation  to purchase the Property at the time and in the manner  contemplated
in this Agreement.

      ss.10.  DATE AND PLACE OF  CLOSING.  The  closing  will occur on or before
March 31, 1997, at such specific date, time and place in Orlando, Florida as are
mutually  agreed to by Seller and Buyer.  Possession  of the Property  (subject,
however,  only to the rights of tenants  under the Leases)  will be delivered to
Buyer at  closing.  All  references  in this  Agreement  to the  "closing",  the
"closing date" or the "date of closing" will mean the closing of the transaction
contemplated  in this Agreement at the time,  place and manner  contemplated  by
this Agreement.


      ss.11.  CLOSING  OBLIGATIONS/PROCEDURES.  Seller's sale of the Property to
Buyer  will  be  effected  by the  parties'  taking  the  following  described
obligatory actions at closing.

      (a)   Purchase Price Payment.  Buyer will pay the Purchase Price, plus all
            then due Additional Payments,  to Seller by means of a federal funds
            wire  transfer.  The amount of all such payments will be adjusted in
            the manner  contemplated  in this  Agreement with respect to closing
            prorations, credits, allowances and other adjustments.

      (b)   Transfer of Real  Property.  Seller  will  execute and
            --------------------------
            deliver  to  Buyer  a   transferable   and  recordable
            general  warranty deed,  pursuant to which Seller will
            transfer to Buyer  marketable  fee simple title to the
            Real  Property,  free  and  clear  of  all  liens  and
            encumbrances,    excepting    only    the    Permitted
            Exceptions.  The general  warranty deed will be in the
            form  attached   hereto  as  Exhibit  J.  The  general
            warranty deed will  expressly  reserve for the benefit

            term  is  hereinafter  defined),  access  and  utility
            easements  over  the  Land,  so as to  facilitate  the
            development of the Adjacent Land, without  materially,
            adversely  impacting  the  efficient  operation of the
            Real   Property   as  a   shopping   center   complex.
            Similarly,  the general  warranty deed will convey for
            the  benefit  of Buyer  access and  utility  easements
            over the Adjacent Land (and, if required  under any of
            the Leases, a parking  easement),  so as to facilitate
            the  development  and  operation of the Land,  without
            materially,    adversely   impacting   the   efficient
            development  and  operation of the Adjacent  Land as a
            retail  complex.  The form,  content and scope of such
            easement  reservations and grants will be agreed to by

            any and all  obligations  of Seller  thereunder  which
            arise  from  and  after  the date of  closing.  Seller
            will  indemnify  and  hold  Buyer  harmless  from  and
            against  any  and all  obligations  of  Seller,  which
            arose  prior to the date of  closing.  The  assignment
            and  assumption of Leases will be in the form attached
            hereto as Exhibit K.

            and  assumption  of Intangible  Property,  pursuant to
            which  Seller  will  assign to Buyer  all of  Seller's
            rights,  title and  interest in and to the  Intangible
            Property   and   Buyer   will   assume   any  and  all
            obligations  of Seller  thereunder  which  will  arise

            Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.  The bill of
            sale will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M.

            to Buyer:

                  title policy for the Property in the form contemplated in ss.6
                  and  subparagraph  (i) of this ss.11;  and (iii) An  affidavit
                  affirming   the   continuing   truth  and   accuracy   of  all
                  representations   and   warranties  set  forth  in  ss.8,  or,
                  conversely,   stating  the  manner,  if  any,  in  which  such
                  representations  and warranties need to be modified to reflect
                  post-Effective Date occurrences, which are not within Seller's
                  reasonable control.

      (g)   Corporate/Partnership  Resolutions.  Seller  and Buyer
            ----------------------------------

            deliver to each other a closing  statement and such other  documents
            as are  reasonably  requested  by either  Seller or Buyer to further

            obtained  and  delivered a  qualifying  survey to the Title  Company
            permitting  such survey  exception to be deleted in accordance  with
            the Title Company's standard practices and procedures.

      Seller and Buyer will each pay any attorney's  fees incurred by such party
      in connection  with the transaction  contemplated  by this Agreement.  Any
      costs  associated  with the  closing  of this  transaction  which  are not
      otherwise  specifically  addressed in this  Agreement  will be paid by the
      party who, in accordance  with Central  Florida  custom and  practice,  is
      normally required to pay such closing costs.

      ss.12. INTERIM OPERATIONS.  During the period from and after the Effective
Date and prior to the date of the  closing,  Seller will manage and maintain the
Property in accordance with its previously  established  practices.  Seller will
not execute,  modify or terminate any Lease,  without first  obtaining the prior
written consent of Buyer. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will,
in all  events,  have a period  of five  business  days in which to  review  and
approve or disapprove any lease or modification or termination thereof submitted
to it by Seller  hereunder.  If Buyer  consents to Seller taking any such action
with respect to any Lease, and if the sale of the Property  thereafter closes in
the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,  then, except as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller,  Buyer will be deemed to have assumed and
will pay for all  costs  incurred  with  respect  to any such  Lease,  including
without limitation, all tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions related
thereto.

      ss.13. BROKERAGE  COMMISSIONS.  Seller will at closing pay a commission to
Pizzuti  Realty of Florida  Inc.  pursuant  to a separate  agreement.  Except as
otherwise  expressly  provided above,  each of the parties hereto represents and
warrants to the other that it has not  contacted or entered  into any  agreement
with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with
this  transaction  or taken any other action which could result in any fee being
due and payable to any real estate broker,  finder,  or other party with respect
to the transaction contemplated hereunder.  Each party indemnifies and agrees to
hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability,  damage, cost or expense
(including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  incurred by or
claimed against the other party by reason of a breach of this representation and
warranty. The provisions of this ss.13 will survive the closing.

      ss.14.  RISK OF  LOSS.  The  risk of loss to the  Real  Property  from the
occurrence of a casualty or a taking by any public  authority under the power or
right of eminent domain (or by the threat thereof) will be borne by Seller until
the closing.  If the Real Property or any part thereof is substantially  damaged
or destroyed as a result of such casualty or is so taken before this transaction
closes,  then Seller will promptly  notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event
and Buyer will have the sole option of either:  (a) proceeding  with the closing
and receiving all insurance proceeds or condemnation  awards payable as a result
of such casualty or taking plus,  with respect to any  casualty,  a payment from
Seller in an amount  equal to the  deductible  amount  of any  insurance  policy
covering any such casualty;  or (b) terminating  this Agreement.  This Agreement
will terminate upon Buyer's delivery to Seller,  within the time frame set forth
below,  written notice of  termination  pursuant to clause (b),  above.  If this
Agreement  is so  terminated,  then the  Deposit  will be returned to Buyer and,
thereafter,  the parties will be relieved of any further rights,  liabilities or
obligations  under  this  Agreement,  except  for  Buyer's  indemnification  and
restoration  obligations  under this ss.4.  If Buyer fails to make the  required
election  pursuant  to this ss.14  within ten days after its receipt of Seller's
written notice of the occurrence of any such casualty or taking, then Buyer will
be deemed to have  elected to close the  transaction  pursuant  to clause (a) of
this ss.14.


      ss.15. DEFAULTS/REMEDIES.  If Seller defaults in the performance of any of
its  obligations  hereunder and such default  continues for a period of ten days
after  written  notice of the  alleged  existence  of such  default  is given to
Seller,  then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy,  pursue the remedy of
specific  performance  to  redress  such  default.  If  Buyer  defaults  on  the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a
period of ten days after written notice of the alleged existence of such default
is given to Buyer,  then Seller will be entitled to receive the entire amount of
the Deposit as full and complete  liquidated damages to redress such default; it
being expressly  acknowledged by the parties hereto that Seller's damages in the
event of a default by Buyer  hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain,
and that the receipt of the Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such
damages  and are  intended  not as a penalty,  but as full  liquidated  damages.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein,  Seller will not be
deemed to be in default under this Agreement if any fact or circumstance  occurs
after the  Effective  Date which  renders  any of Seller's  representations  and
warranties untrue or inaccurate, so long as any such fact or circumstance is not
within the reasonable control of Seller.

      ss.16.  ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any legal action is commenced by either Seller
or Buyer to enforce its rights  hereunder,  then all reasonable  attorney's fees
and other  expenses  incurred  by the  prevailing  party in such  action will be
immediately due and payable to the prevailing party by the non-prevailing party.

      ss.17.  NOTICES.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement  must be in writing  and must be  delivered  to Seller or Buyer at its
address set forth below (or such other address as may hereafter be designated by
such party). Any such notice must be personally  delivered or sent by registered

certified mail). The parties' addresses for the delivery of all such notices are

      ss.18.  ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent agrees to accept, hold and disburse the
Deposit in accordance  with the terms and conditions of this  Agreement.  In the
event of doubt as to Escrow Agent's duties or liabilities  under this Agreement,
Escrow  Agent may,  in its sole  discretion:  (a)  continue  to hold the subject
matter of this  escrow  until the  parties  mutually  agree to the  disbursement
thereof or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  determines the
rights of the parties therein; or (b) deposit the same with the Clerk of Circuit
Court of Orange County Florida and upon notifying all parties  concerned of such
action, all liability on the part of Escrow Agent will fully terminate except to
the extent of an accounting for items  theretofore  delivered out of escrow.  In
the event of any legal action involving Buyer and Seller wherein Escrow Agent is
made a party by virtue of acting as Escrow Agent  hereunder,  or in the event of
the  commencement  of any legal  action  wherein  Escrow Agent  interpleads  the
subject  matter  of this  escrow,  Escrow  Agent  will be  entitled  to  recover
reasonable  attorney's fees and costs incurred,  including,  without limitation,
those  incurred  on  appeal,  if  any,  and  in any  administrative,  mediation,
arbitration  or  bankruptcy  proceedings,  said fees and costs to be charged and
assessed as court costs in favor of the  prevailing  party and deducted from the
funds  interpleaded.  Buyer and Seller  agree that the Escrow  Agent will not be



liable to any party or person whatsoever for misdelivery of the Deposit,  unless
such  misdelivery  is due to the  willful  breach  of this  Agreement  or  gross
negligence on the part of Escrow Agent,  nor will Escrow Agent be liable for any
action  taken by it,  unless  taken or  suffered  in  willful  disregard  of its
obligations   hereunder   or  with  gross   negligence.   Additionally,   Seller
acknowledges  that in the event of any  disagreement  between  Seller  and Buyer
concerning the Deposit, the transaction under this Agreement or any other matter
related  to the  Property,  Escrow  Agent may  continue  to  represent  Buyer in
connection with such dispute, including negotiations, arbitration, mediation and
litigation,  so long as Escrow Agent first  delivers the Deposit to the Clerk of
Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida in the manner previously contemplated in
this ss.18.

      ss.19.        ASSIGNMENT  OF  AGREEMENT.  Neither  Buyer,  nor  Seller may
assign all or any part of this  Agreement  to any other party,  without  first
obtaining the written consent thereto of the other party;  provided,  however,
that Buyer may assign  this  Agreement  to RRC  Centers,  Inc.  without  first
having to obtain any consent thereto from Seller.

      ss.20.        GOVERNING   LAW.  This   Agreement   will  be  construed  in
accordance with the laws with the State of Florida.

      ss.21.  ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This Agreement  contains the entire  agreement
of the  parties  with  respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof and may not be
modified or amended in any manner,  except by a written instrument executed by
both parties to this Agreement.

      ss.22. COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original document.  This document will not be binding
on the  parties,  until such time as a  counterpart  of this  document  has been
executed by each party and a copy  thereof  delivered to the other party to this
Agreement.

      ss.23.  RADON GAS  NOTIFICATION.  In accordance  with the  requirements of
Florida Statute ss.404.056

            RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
            it is  accumulated  in a  building  in  sufficient  quantities,  may
            present  health  risks to persons  who are  exposed to it over time.
            Levels of radon that exceed federal and state  guidelines  have been
            found in  buildings  in Florida.  Additional  information  regarding
            radon and radon testing may be obtained from the local county public
            health center.

      ss.24.  REASONABLENESS  OF  CONSENT.  Any  consent  or  approval  which is
required or  permitted to be given  hereunder  by either  Seller or Buyer will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such party.

      ss.25. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence for all purposes of
this Agreement.  Any time period specified herein which would otherwise end on a
weekend  day or a legal  holiday  will,  for the purpose of this  Agreement,  be
deemed to instead end on the next  business  day  following  such weekend day or
legal holiday.

      ss.26. PURCHASE OF COMPANION PROPERTY. As of the Effective Date, Buyer and
PDI Orlando III Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Seller, have entered into a
separate  Real Estate  Purchase  Agreement  ("Companion  Contract")  relating to
Buyer's purchase of the Main Street Square shopping center located in Fern Park,
Florida ("Companion  Property").  It is Seller's and Buyer's  contemplation that
the closing of Buyer's  purchase of the Property under this Agreement will occur
simultaneously  with the closing of Buyer's  purchase of the Companion  Property
under  the  Companion  Contract.  It will be a  condition  precedent  to each of
Seller's  and  Buyer's  obligations  under this  Agreement  that  there  occur a
simultaneous  closing of the Companion Property under the terms of the Companion
Contract.

      ss.27.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ADJACENT LAND. If at any time during the
five year period after the date of closing,  Seller receives a bona fide written
offer from a third party  ("Third  Party  Offer") to purchase all or any part of
the land which is described  in attached  Exhibit N  ("Adjacent  Land"),  and if
Seller,  in good faith, is willing to accept such Third Party Offer, then Seller
will give written notice to Buyer of the existence and terms of such Third Party



Offer and will  thereafter  afford Buyer a period of five days in which to elect
to purchase the portion of the Adjacent  Land which is the subject of such Third
Party Offer,  on the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer. If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the  aforementioned  five-day
period that Buyer so elects to  purchase  the  subject  portion of the  Adjacent
Land, then Buyer will proceed to purchase such portion of the Adjacent Land from
Seller  upon the  identical  terms and  conditions  set forth in the Third Party
Offer. If Buyer declines to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent Land or
fails to respond to Seller's notice within the  aforementioned  five day period,
then, in either such event,  Seller will  thereafter be free to sell the subject
portion of the Adjacent Land on the terms and  conditions set forth in the Third
Party Offer; provided, however, that if the subject portion of the Adjacent Land
is not sold within 90 days after the outside date for closing  specified in such
Third  Party  Offer on the terms and  conditions  specified  in such Third Party
Offer,  then Seller will be again  obligated to offer the subject portion of the
Adjacent  Land to Buyer as  hereinabove  provided.  The  right of first  refusal
granted to Buyer hereunder will continue to apply  throughout the five year term
set forth  above to all  portions of the  Adjacent  Land which are not sold to a
third party in accordance with the provisions of this ss.27.

      To the extent any of the existing  Leases of the Real Property  impose any
restrictions  on the  manner  in  which  the  Adjacent  Land  is to be  used  or
developed,  then Seller agrees that it will fully comply with such  restrictions
and will  require  any of its  successors-in-interest  to also  comply with such
restrictions.  If  requested  by Buyer,  Seller  will  place of public  record a
document or documents,  in form and content  reasonably  satisfactory  to, Buyer
subjecting the Adjacent Land to such restrictions.

      ss.28. UNUSED DEVELOPMENT  RIGHTS.  There are currently unused development
rights under the development  order  applicable to the Real Property  permitting
38,552 rentable square feet of additional retail  development to be built on the
portion of the Land located between the K-Mart and Sears Home Life stores. Those
unused development rights will be deemed included in the Intangible  Property to
be  transferred to Buyer under this  Agreement.  Seller agrees that, it will use
reasonable  efforts to prosecute  the receipt of additional  development  rights
under the  aforementioned  development order and, to the extent it is successful
in  further   increasing  its  developments   rights  under  the  aforementioned
development  order,  Seller will assign to Buyer the first 9,241 rentable square
feet of new development  rights so obtained by Seller,  without any further cost
or obligation being owed to Seller by Buyer hereunder.

      ss.29.  BLOCKBUSTER  VIDEO  LEASE.  Seller  intends  to enter into a Lease
Agreement with Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.,  pursuant to which Blockbuster  Video,
Inc. will agree to lease  approximately  5,348 rentable  square feet of space in
the Real  Property.  The terms of the  Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.  lease  will be
subject to Buyer's review and approval during the Inspection Period. If Buyer so
approves the Blockbuster Video, Inc. lease and if Buyer thereafter closes on its
purchase  of the  Property,  it will  assume  and  agree  to abide by all of the
obligations   placed  upon  the  "Landlord"   under  the  Lease  Agreement  with
Blockbuster Video, Inc. Buyer acknowledges that it is a necessary requirement of
the terms of the Lease  Agreement  with  Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.  that certain
existing  tenants  be  relocated  form  the  leased  premises  to be  leased  by
Blockbuster  Video,  Inc. (such tenants being Treasure Coast,  Dr. Massaglia and
Dr. Ziernba).  Buyer will contribute  $40,000 towards the cost of relocating Dr.
Massaglia to other space in the Real  Property and will also pay a commission of
$33,000 to Pizzuti  Realty of Florida Inc. in  connection  with the  Blockbuster
Video,  Inc. lease (such commission to be paid within ten days after Blockbuster
Video, Inc. opens for business in the Real Property and begins paying rent). Any
other costs  associated  with the vacation of any of the  existing  tenants from
Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.'s leased  premises (that being,  Treasure  Coast,  Dr.
Massaglia and Dr.  Ziernba) will be paid by Seller within 30 days after Seller's
receipt  of a  detailed  invoice  from  Buyer  setting  forth the  amount of the
expenses incurred Buyer in connection with such vacation.  If Buyer is unable to
effect the  relocation of the requisite  tenants from the leased  premises to be
leased by  Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.,  with the end  result  that the lease with
Blockbuster  Video,  Inc.  becomes  null  and  void,  then  Buyer  will  have no
obligation  to make any payments to either Dr.  Massaglia  or Pizzuti  Realty of
Florida Inc. under this ss.29.

      ss.30. AUDIT LETTER.  Seller acknowledges that Buyer, as a publicly-traded
real estate  investment  trust, is required to have the financial  operations of
the various  properties  owned by it audited by KPMG Peat  Marwick,  LLP and the
results thereof filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller agrees
that it will make all of its  financial  books and records  associated  with the
Property  available for audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP at all  reasonable  times
after the  Effective  Date and prior to the date which is six  months  after the



date of closing  Buyer will provide  Seller with at least 15 days prior  advance
notice  concerning  the conduct of any such audit by KPMG Peat  Marwick  LLP. In
addition,  Seller  hereby  agrees that it will, at the request of Buyer and KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, execute an Audit  Representation  Letter in substantially  the
form and content  attached  hereto as Exhibit O and will deliver  such  executed
Audit  Representation  Letter to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP within 15 days after KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP's request for the same.

      ss.31.  REPLATTING OF PARCEL 4. Buyer and Seller hereby  acknowledge  that
the Land to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder contains part (but not all) of Parcel
4 of the First Replat of Port St. Lucie,  Section 67. The portion of Parcel 4 to
be conveyed to Buyer is depicted on the site plan attached to this  Agreement as
Exhibit A. Within  five  business  days after the  Effective  Date,  Seller will
prepare and submit to Buyer for its approval a legal description of that portion
of Parcel 4 to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder as part of the Land. Following the
closing,  Seller will  promptly  and with all due  diligence  proceed to further
replat Parcel 4, so as to create the portion  thereof which is being conveyed to
Buyer as a separate,  free-standing  tax parcel,  which will be  developable  by
Buyer  as  a  retail  building  upon  Buyer's  compliance  with  all  applicable
governmental   requirements  (other  than  any  requirements  relating  to  such
replatting).  All costs of effecting  such  replatting  will be borne by Seller.
Prior to its  finalization  of any such  replatting,  Seller  will  provide  all
documentation relating to the replatting to Buyer for its review and approval.

This Real Estate Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by PDI Orlando

Agreement  will be  highlighted  by  boldface  print when first  defined in this
Agreement.

Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

            areas  and  other  site  and  accessory   improvements
            located on the Land and all  systems,  facilities  and

            furnishings,  signs,  equipment,  inventory,  supplies
            and  tangible  personal  property  owned by Seller and

            particularly described in Exhibit B.

      (d)   Leases.  All leases with any existing  tenants of the Real  Property
            (together   with   any   amendments,   extensions,   guaranties   or

            described in the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit C;

      (e)   Intangible  Property.  Any  rights  in and  to  those,
            --------------------
            contracts,     agreements,    utility    arrangements,

            contrary  contained  herein,  the only contracts to be
            assigned to and assumed by Buyer and, hence,  included
            within the  definition  of  "Intangible  Property" for
            the  purposes  of  this   Agreement,   will  be  those
            contracts  identified  on  attached  Exhibit  D, which
            either:  (i) are not  cancelable  upon 30 days or less
            notice;  or (ii) although  cancelable  upon 30 days or
            less notice, are nonetheless  specifically  designated
            by  Buyer  in a  written  notice  to  Seller  as being
            contracts  which Buyer  desires to have assigned to it
            at closing (collectively, the "Surviving Contracts").

The Land and Improvements are hereinafter  collectively referred to as the "Real
Property". The Real Property,  Personal Property, Leases and Intangible Property
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property".

      ss.2.  DEPOSIT.  Within two business days after the Effective Date,  Buyer
will  deposit  with the law firm of  Maguire,  Voorhis  & Wells,  P.A.  ("Escrow
Agent") cash in the sum of $50,000 as a good faith deposit.  Within two business
days after the date of Buyer's satisfaction of its inspection  contingency under
ss.5,  Buyer  will  deposit  with  Escrow  Agent  cash in an  additional  sum of
$100,000,  which  amount  will  also  be  held  pursuant  to the  terms  of this
Agreement. All amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent hereunder will be held in
an  interest-bearing  account,  with  all  references  herein  to the  "Deposit"
specifically  including not only the initial principal sum of $50,000,  but also
the additional  principal sum of $100,000  (once paid to the Escrow Agent),  and
all interest earned on such principal sums. The Deposit will be disbursed in the
following manner:


      (a)   If the closing occurs in the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,
            then the  Deposit  will be paid to Seller  and  applied  as a credit
            against the Purchase Price payable at closing;
      (b)   If this  Agreement is  terminated  under ss.5 as a result of Buyer's
            failure to satisfy or waive its inspection  contingency  under ss.5,
            then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer;
      (c)   If the closing  fails to occur as a result of Seller's
            default  hereunder,  then the Deposit will be returned
            to  Buyer,  without  prejudice  to  Buyer's  right  to
            pursue the remedy of specific  performance  to redress
            such default; and
            (d)   If the  closing  fails to  occur as a result  of
            Buyer's  default  hereunder,  then the Deposit will be
            paid  to  Seller  as  full  and  complete   liquidated
            damages to redress such default.

      ss.3.  PURCHASE  PRICE.  The  purchase  price  for  the  Property  will be
$5,395,348  ("Purchase  Price").  The  Purchase  Price  will  be paid in cash at
closing by means of a federal funds wire transfer. The Purchase Price payable at
closing  will be  subject  to such  prorations,  credits,  allowances  and other
adjustments as are provided for in this Agreement.

      ss.4.   ADDITIONAL  PAYMENTS.  In addition to the Purchase  Price  payable
to Seller  at  closing,  Buyer  will make the  following  additional  payments
("Additional  Payments")  to Seller  at the times and under the  circumstances
set forth below.

      (a)Vacant  Space.  Buyer will pay to Seller at closing an amount  equal to
         $15 for every rentable square foot of space in excess of 3,766 rentable
         square feet,  which is both vacant and unleased in the Real Property as
         of the date of closing (if Park Dry Cleaners is still in  possession of
         its space on the date of  closing,  no such  payment  will be made with
         respect to its  space).  The payment  referred to in this  subparagraph
         will be paid in cash at  closing  by  means  of a  federal  funds  wire
         transfer.


      (b)Dry  Cleaner  Space.  Buyer  and  Seller  acknowledge  that  Seller  is
         currently  in the process of effecting an eviction of Park Dry Cleaners
         from  Suite  182 of the Real  Property,  consisting  of 1,400  rentable
         square feet. Upon the earlier of (i) Seller's successful  completion of
         such eviction  action or (ii) Buyer's  request that Seller dismiss such
         eviction action because Buyer has reached an acceptable  compromise for
         Park  Dry  Cleaners'  continued  occupancy  of the  Real  Property,  an
         Additional  Payment will be due from Buyer to Seller in an amount equal
         to $287,597.03,  less the amount of any Additional  Payments previously
         made with respect to the subject space under  subparagraph  (a), above.
         The above  amount  will not be reduced in any fashion by any credit for
         any Additional  Payment  previously made pursuant to subparagraph  (a),
         above,  because  the  number  set  forth in the  immediately  preceding
         sentence has already been  computed net of a credit for the  applicable
         Additional  Payments made at closing  under  subparagraph  (a),  above.
         Unless  otherwise  requested by Buyer,  Seller will, at all times after
         the date of  closing  and at its sole  cost and  expense,  continue  to
         prosecute the eviction  action  against Park Dry Cleaners in a diligent
         and  expeditious  fashion.  Buyer will be  required to  cooperate  with
         Seller in such eviction action,  although Buyer will not be required to
         expend any funds in connection with such eviction action.

      (c)Froggers.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is currently in the
         process of negotiating with Froggers  Restaurant for the lease of space
         in the Real  Property.  Buyer  hereby  agrees  that,  to the extent the
         conditions  hereinafter set forth with respect to any lease to Froggers
         Restaurant  are satisfied  within six months after the date of closing,
         then an  additional  payment  will be due from  Buyer to  Seller  in an
         amount equal to the Effective  Gross Income produced under the Froggers
         lease (in an amount up to, but not  exceeding  $11 per rentable  square
         foot, plus operating expense  reimbursement  recoveries),  divided by a
         capitalization  rate of 12.5%,  less an amount equal to the sum of: (A)
         one-third of the first $150,000 of Buyer's cost of constructing  tenant
         improvements  to the Froggers  Restaurant  space;  plus (B) 100% of all
         such tenant improvement costs in excess of $150,000.

         For the purpose of this Agreement,  "Effective  Gross Income" means the
         average annual Base Rent and Operating Expense Payments (as those terms
         are hereinafter  defined, but exclusive of any portion of any Operating
         Expense Payments  attributable to a 4% management fee),  payable by the
         applicable  tenant  over the initial  term of any such  lease,  less an
         amount  equal to all free rent and other rent  concessions  made to the
         tenant under the applicable lease (amortized  ratably over each year of
         the lease) and less a credit  reserve of 5% of the average  annual Base
         Rent and  Operating  Expense  Payments  due under any such  lease.  The
         amount  of  any  payment  otherwise  required  to be  paid  under  this
         subparagraph  (c) will,  however,  be reduced by an amount equal to the
         amount of any Additional Payment previously paid to Seller with respect
         to the subject leased space under subparagraph (a).


         The   Additional   Payments   due  to  Seller  from  Buyer  under  this
         subparagraph  (c) will be paid within 30 days after the satisfaction of
         all of the following conditions with respect to the Froggers Restaurant
         lease:

            (A)A lease, in form and content reasonably  acceptable to Buyer, has
               been executed with Froggers  Restaurant (which lease must, in all
               events be executed  within six months after the date of closing);
               and
            (B)Froggers  Restaurant has accepted its leased  premises and opened
               for business therein and begun paying rent.


The terms of any lease  produced  with  respect to Froggers  Restaurant  must be
acceptable to both Seller and Buyer.  Seller agrees that it will pay all leasing
commissions due on any lease for Froggers Restaurant. Buyer will be obligated to
pay the cost of all tenant  improvements and other costs related to the Froggers
Restaurant  lease (subject to Seller's  contribution to the Froggers  Restaurant
tenant improvement costs under subparagraph (b)(ii), above).

      ss.5. INSPECTION CONTINGENCY. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are
contingent  upon Buyer  determining,  on or before  March 25, 1997  ("Inspection
Period"), that the Property is acceptable to Buyer. Seller will permit Buyer and
Buyer's agents and  contractors  access to the Property and to all files,  books
and records  maintained by Seller with respect to the Property at all reasonable
times during the  Inspection  Period,  so that Buyer can conduct all such tests,
studies and  inspections  of the Property  and review all such files,  books and
records as Buyer deems  appropriate.  All files, books and records maintained by
Seller with respect o the Property  will be made  available  for  inspection  by
Buyer and Buyer's agents and contractors at Seller's  offices at Suite 1350, 255
South Orange Avenue, Orlando,  Florida. During the Inspection Period, Buyer will
also be permitted to interview  all tenants  under the Leases,  provided that it
provide advance notice to Seller of the times of any such interviews and permits
a  representative  of Seller a reasonable  opportunity to be present during such
interviews.

Buyer agrees to indemnify  and hold Seller  harmless  from any liability or loss
incurred  by Seller as a result of Buyer's  activities  at the  Property  and to
promptly  restore  any  damage  caused  to the  Property  as a  result  of  such
activities. If Buyer fails to timely satisfy or waive its inspection contingency
under this ss.5 then,  within ten days after the  expiration  of the  Inspection
Period,  Buyer will deliver to Seller copies of all written reports  received by
Buyer with respect to the various tests,  studies and  inspections  conducted by
Buyer or its agents or contractors  with respect to the Property and will return
to Seller  copies of all of Seller's  files,  books and records made by Buyer or
its agents or contractors during such Inspection Period.


In order to further facilitate Buyer's determination of the acceptability of the
Property,  Seller will,  within three  business days after the  Effective  Date,
provide the following materials to Buyer:

      (a)    Copies of all Leases;
      (b)    Copies  of  all  environmental  reports  in its  possession  with
         respect to the Real Property;
      (c) The most  current  survey of the Real  Property;  (d) The most  recent
      title  policy for the Real  Property;  (e) Copies of  financial  operating
      statements for the Property (that
         is,  income  and  expense  statements)  for the  1994,  1995 and 1996
         calendar years;
      (f)    Copies of real  estate  tax bills for the Real  Property  for the
         calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996;
      (g)    Copies of any existing service contracts related to the Property;
      (h)    Copies of utilities  bills  relating to the operation of the Real
         Property for the calendar year 1996;
      (i)    Copies of all  certificates  of occupancy in its possession  with
         respect to the Improvements;
      (j)    Copies   of  all  plans  and   specifications   related   to  the
         Improvements  including,  where  appropriate,  civil,  structural and
         mechanical drawings;
      (k)    Copies of all expense recovery  reconciliation's for the calendar
         years 1995 and 1996;
      (l)    Seller's operating budget for the calendar year 1996;
      (m)    Evidence  that all  sales  tax  payments  with  respect  to rents
         payable for the Real Property are current.

If Buyer gives  Seller  written  notice  within the  Inspection  Period that the
results of its inspections are acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will be obligated
to pay the  additional  $100,000  deposit to Escrow Agent at the time and in the
manner  contemplated in ss.2 hereof and the parties will  thereafter  proceed to
close  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Property  in the manner  contemplated  in this
Agreement.  If Buyer gives Seller written  notice within the  Inspection  Period
that the results of its  inspections are  unacceptable to Buyer,  for any reason
whatsoever (as determined by Buyer in its sole  discretion) or if Buyer fails to
give any written  notice  concerning  the  acceptability  of its  inspections to
Seller during the Inspection Period, then in either such event, the Deposit will
be returned to Buyer, this Agreement will thereupon  automatically terminate and
the parties will be relieved of all further rights,  liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification,  restoration and other
obligations expressly placed upon it under this ss.5

      ss.6.  TITLE  COMMITMENT.  Within  fifteen days after the Effective  Date,
Seller  will  cause  First  American  Title  Insurance  Company  or  some  other
nationally-recognized  title  insurance  company  acceptable  to  Buyer  ("Title
Company")  to furnish  to Buyer a  commitment  for an ALTA Form B Owner's  Title
Insurance Policy in the face amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible
copies  of  all  title  exceptions  noted  in  such  title  commitment   ("Title
Commitment").  The Title  Commitment  will show that Seller has  marketable  fee
simple  title to the  Property,  free and clear of all  liens and  encumbrances,
excepting only those liens and  encumbrances  which are approved by Buyer in the
manner hereinafter set forth in this ss.6. If Buyer wishes to obtain a survey of
the Real Property (other than any existing survey furnished to Buyer pursuant to
ss.5), it will be required to do so at its sole expense.


If the  Title  Commitment  (or any  survey  obtained  by  Buyer)  discloses  any
exceptions to title which are unacceptable to Buyer,  then Buyer will have seven
days after its receipt of such Title  Commitment  in which to deliver in writing
to  Seller  any  objection  which  Buyer may have to any such  title  exceptions



("Title  Notice").  Buyer will be deemed to have  approved any title  exceptions
appearing  in the  Title  Commitment,  which  are not  objected  to in a  timely
delivered Title Notice and,  thereafter,  such additional  title exceptions will
also be treated as "Permitted Exceptions" for the purposes of this Agreement.

If Buyer  objects to any such title  exception  by  delivering a Title Notice to
Seller within the aforementioned  seven-day period, then Seller, at its expense,
will use its reasonable  efforts to satisfy the objections  made by Buyer in its
Title Notice within five days after  Seller's  receipt of the Title  Notice.  If
Seller  fails  to  satisfy  all of such  objections  within  the  aforementioned
five-day  period then Buyer will have the option of either:  (a) terminating its
obligations  with  respect to the  purchase of the  Property  by giving  written
notice of  termination  to Seller within three days after the  expiration of the
aforementioned  five-day period, in which event, the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer and, thereafter,  neither party will have any further rights,  liabilities
or  obligations  hereunder  with  respect to the  Property,  except for  Buyer's
indemnification,  restoration  and other  obligations  expressly  placed upon it
under ss.5; or (b) waiving its objections  under the Title Notice and proceeding
to close on the purchase of the Property.  If Seller is successful in satisfying
any of Buyer's  objections,  then  Seller  will  deliver to Buyer  proof of such
satisfaction  and will also deliver to Buyer the Title  Company's  related Title
Commitment endorsement.

      ss.7.  ESTOPPEL  CERTIFICATES.  Within 30 days after the  Effective  Date,
Landlord will use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant an estoppel  certificate
("Estoppel Certificate"), executed by each tenant under the Leases and dated not
earlier than the Effective  Date.  Such Estoppel  Certificates  will address the
status  of rent  payments,  tenant  improvements,  defaults  and  other  matters
relating to the Leases,  and will, except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer, be in
substantially  the form and  content  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  H.  Buyer's
obligations  under  this  Agreement  will be  expressly  contingent  upon  Buyer
receiving executed Estoppel Certificates from the "Anchor Tenants" (as that term
is hereinafter  defined) and from those other tenants  occupying at least 90% of
the remaining  rentable square footage  contained within the Real Property.  For
the  purpose  of this  Agreement,  "Anchor  Tenants"  will mean  Winn  Dixie and
Walgreens.

      ss.8. CLOSING PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. If Seller's sale of the Property
to Buyer closes in the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,  then Buyer's and
Seller's respective economic rights and obligations with respect to the Property
will be  determined  in the manner  described in this ss.8.  Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all of the income and expense prorations contemplated
hereunder will be calculated,  apportioned and prorated between Buyer and Seller
as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the date of closing.


      (a)   Real  Estate  Taxes.  Seller will pay or credit on the
            -------------------
            Purchase  Price  the  amount  of all  delinquent  real
            estate taxes and installments of special  insessments,
            including  penalties and interest thereon,  that are a
            lien on the Real  Property  as of the date of closing.
            Seller  will  also  credit on the  Purchase  Price all
            unpaid real estate taxes and  installments  of special
            assessments  which are not yet due for years  prior to
            the   closing   and  a  portion   of  such  taxes  and
            installments   for  the  year  of  closing,   prorated
            through  the date of  closing.  The  proration  of the
            undetermined   taxes  and   installments   of  special
            assessments  will be  based  upon a 365 day  year  and
            upon the most  recently  available  tax use,  rate and
            valuation  for the Real  Property.  The  proration  of
            taxes and  installments of assessments  hereunder will
            be  reprorated  upon  request by either party upon the
            issuance  of the  actual  tax  bill  for  the  year of
            closing  and will  then be based  upon the  amount  of
            such taxes and  installments of assessments  which are
            due  on  the  earliest   payment  date   specified  by
            applicable   law.   Any  request  for  a   reproration
            hereunder  must be made on or  before  December  31 of
            the year of closing.

      (b)   Rents.  All rents and other  payments due from the tenants under the
            Leases will be prorated in the manner  hereinafter set forth in this
            subparagraph (b).

                  (i)Base Rents.  Seller will credit on the Purchase  Price that
                     portion  of all Base  Rents  (as that  term is  hereinafter
                     defined)  payable for the calendar month of closing,  which
                     are  attributable  to the period from and after the date of
                     closing.  Seller  will be entitled to retain any Base Rents
                     collected  by it  prior to or  after  the date of  closing,
                     which are  attributable  either to the month of  closing or
                     any months preceding the month of closing. If following the
                     date of  closing,  Buyer  collects  Base  Rents  which  are
                     attributable  to the period  prior to the date of  closing,
                     then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein,  Buyer
                     will  immediately  pay  such  Base  Rents  to  Seller.   If
                     following the date of closing,  Seller  collects Base Rents
                     which  are  attributable  to any  month  after the month of
                     closing,  then Seller will  immediately pay such Base Rents
                     to  Buyer.   Notwithstanding   anything  to  the   contrary
                     contained  herein,  any Base Rents  collected by Buyer from
                     any tenant  after the date of closing will first be applied
                     by Buyer  toward the payment of Base Rents owed to Buyer by




                     such  tenant for  months  after the month of  closing,  and
                     then, and only then,  will any excess Base Rents  collected
                     by Buyer be paid to Seller under this subparagraph (i). For
                     the purpose of this  Agreement,  "Base Rents" will mean any
                     fixed,  minimum  rent  payable by tenants  under the Leases
                     excluding, however, any Operating Expense Payments (as that
                     term is hereinafter defined).

                  (ii)  Operating  Expense  Payments.  Seller will credit on the
                     Purchase  Price  that  portion  of  any  Operating  Expense
                     Payments (as that term is hereinafter  defined) payable for
                     the calendar month of closing,  which are  attributable  to
                     the period from and after the date of closing.  Seller will
                     be entitled to any  Operating  Expense  Payments  which are
                     both paid periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants
                     under the Leases and are  collected by it prior to or after
                     the date of  closing  and  which are  further  attributable
                     either to the month of closing or any months  preceding the
                     month of closing.  If following the date of closing,  Buyer
                     collects  any  Operating  Expense  Payments  which are paid
                     periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
                     Leases and which are  attributable  to the period  prior to
                     the date of closing,  then,  except as otherwise  expressly
                     provided herein,  Buyer will immediately pay such Operating
                     Expense  Payments  to  Seller.  If,  following  the date of
                     closing,  Seller collects any Operating  Expense  Payments,
                     which are paid  periodically  on an estimated  basis by any
                     tenants under the Leases, and which are attributable to any
                     month  after  the  month  of  closing,   then  Seller  will
                     immediately pay such Operating  Expenses Payments to Buyer.
                     Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein,
                     any   Operating   Expenses   Payments,   which   are   paid
                     periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
                     Leases,  and which are  collected  by Buyer from any tenant
                     after the date of  closing,  will first be applied by Buyer
                     toward the payment of any Operating  Expense  Payments owed
                     to Buyer by such  tenant  for  months  after  the  month of
                     closing, and then, and only then, will any excess Operating
                     Expense Payments collected by Buyer be paid to Seller under
                     this  subparagraph  (ii).  With  respect  to any  Operating
                     Expense  Payments,   which  are  paid  periodically  on  an
                     estimated basis by any tenants under the Leases, Buyer will
                     make a final reconciliation of the actual expenses incurred
                     in connection  with the Real Property for any fiscal period
                     which includes the date of closing,  at the time and in the
                     manner  required  under the terms of the Leases.  Within 30
                     days  after the  completion  of each  such  reconciliation,
                     Buyer will provide  written  notice to Seller of the amount
                     of  such  reconciliation  and  the  portion  of the  actual
                     Operating  Expense Payments of the subject tenant which are
                     attributable  to the  period  prior to the date of  closing
                     (with such  determination  being made strictly on the basis
                     of the number of days  prior to the date of  closing  which
                     are   included   in  the  fiscal   period  for  which  such
                     reconciliation is being made). If Buyer collects  Operating
                     Expense  Payments  from any tenant  under any Lease  which,
                     when added to all  periodic,  estimated  Operating  Expense
                     Payments collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date
                     of closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
                     for which such final  reconciliation is being made), exceed
                     the amount of the Tenant's actual Operating Expense Payment
                     obligation  for the  portion of the subject  fiscal  period
                     falling after the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within
                     30 days  after its  collection  of such  Operating  Expense
                     Payments, pay to Seller the amount of such excess. If Buyer
                     is required as a result of any such final reconciliation to
                     make any  refund to any  tenants  under the  Leases for any
                     excess periodic Operating Expense Payments made by any such
                     tenants  under the  Leases,  then Seller will pay to Buyer,
                     within  30  days   after   Seller's   receipt   of  Buyer's
                     determination  that any such refund is due, an amount equal
                     to that portion of the refund which is  attributable to the
                     period   prior  to  the   date  of   closing   (with   such
                     determination  being  made  strictly  on the  basis  of the
                     number  of days  prior to the  date of  closing  which  are
                     included in the fiscal period for which such reconciliation
                     is being made).


                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
                     to the  extent  any Lease  requires  any tenant to make any
                     Operating  Expense  Payments  other  than on an  estimated,
                     periodic  basis (for example,  an obligation of a tenant to
                     reimburse  the  owner  of the  Real  Property  by way of an
                     annual  lump sum  payment  for its  allocable  share of the
                     actual real estate taxes or insurance premiums paid by such
                     owner),  and if any such Operating  Expense Payment relates
                     to expenses which are  attributable  to periods both before
                     and  after  the  date of  closing,  then:  (i) if any  such
                     Operating Expense Payment is payable to Seller prior to the
                     date of closing,  Seller will credit on the Purchase  Price
                     the  portion of such  Operating  Expense  Payment  which is
                     attributable  to the  period  from  and  after  the date of
                     closing;  and (ii) if such  Operating  Expense  Payment  is
                     payable after the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within



                     30 days after its collection of any such Operating  Expense
                     Payments,  make a payment  to Seller of an amount  equal to
                     that  portion of the  Operating  Expense  Payment  which is
                     attributable  to the period  prior to the date of  closing.
                     For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,  "Operating  Expense
                     Payments"  will mean all payments made by the tenants under
                     the Leases which are stated to be applicable towards common
                     area maintenance charges,  insurance premiums,  real estate
                     taxes  and  similar  expenses   associated  with  the  Real
                     Property.

                  (iii)  Overage   Rents.   Overage   Rents  (as  that  term  is
                     hereinafter defined) will be separately prorated under each
                     Lease on the basis of the  fiscal  period set forth in each
                     Lease for the payment of such  Overage  Rents.  Any Overage
                     Rents  received by Seller or Buyer before or after the date
                     of  closing  will  be  retained  by the  recipient  of such
                     payments,  pending a final  reconciliation  based  upon the
                     actual  Overage  Rents  owed for any  fiscal  period  which
                     includes  the date of  closing.  Buyer  will make the final
                     reconciliation at the time and in the manner required under
                     the  terms  of  each  Lease.   Within  30  days  after  the
                     completion  of each such final  reconciliation,  Buyer will
                     provide  written  notice to  Seller  of the  amount of such
                     final  reconciliation and the portion of the actual Overage
                     Rents for the subject tenant which are  attributable to the
                     period  prior to the  date of  closing.  If Buyer  actually
                     collects  Overage  Rents from any  tenant  under any Lease,
                     which, when added to all estimated,  periodic Overage Rents
                     collected  from  such  tenant  by Buyer  after  the date of
                     closing (but which are  attributable  to the fiscal  period
                     for which such final  reconciliation is being made), exceed
                     the amount of the Tenant's  actual Overage Rent  obligation
                     for the portion of the subject  fiscal period falling after
                     the date of closing,  then Buyer will, within 30 days after
                     its  collection  of such Overage  Rents,  pay to Seller the
                     amount of such excess.


             (c) Utilities.  Coincident with the closing of Buyer's  purchase of
            the Property, Seller will notify all utility companies servicing the
            Real  Property of the change in ownership and direct that all future
            billings  be made to Buyer at the address of the Real  Property  (or
            such other  address as Buyer may  direct).  Seller will obtain final
            meter  readings for all utilities as of the date of closing and will
            have final  bills  rendered  directly  to Seller.  In the event that
            final  meter  readings   cannot  be  obtained  due  to  the  utility
            companies'  internal  operating  procedures.  Seller will  reimburse
            Buyer for any payments to such  utilities  applicable  to the period
            prior to the  closing  date  immediately  upon  receipt  of  written
            evidence of such payments by Buyer.

      (d)   Security  Deposits.   Seller  will  pay  to  Buyer  at
            ------------------
            closing (or credit on the  Purchase  Price  payable at
            closing)  an  amount  equal to all  security  deposits
            which,  as of the date of  closing,  Seller is legally
            required  to  ultimately  refund to tenants  under the
            Leases.  A listing of all such  security  deposits  as
            of the  Effective  Date is  included  in the rent roll
            attached  hereto as  Exhibit  C. The  listing  of such
            security  deposits will be updated by Seller as of the
            date of closing.

      (e)   Accounts  Receivable.  All accounts receivable related
            --------------------
            to the Property,  which are attributable to the period
            prior to the date of the closing  (including,  without
            limitation,  those related to  delinquent  payments of
            Base  Rent,   Overage  Rents  and  Operating   Expense
            Payments by any former or existing  tenant of the Real
            Property),  will  remain  the  property  of Seller and
            Seller  may  pursue the  collection  of such  accounts
            receivable   by  all   available   legal  means.   All
            accounts  receivable related to the Property which are
            attributable  to the period from and after the date of
            closing  will be the  property of Buyer.  A listing of
            all accounts  receivable  for existing  tenants of the
            Real Property as of the Effective  Date is attached to
            this  Agreement  as  Exhibit  F. The  listing  of such
            accounts  receivable  will be  updated by Seller as of
            the date of  closing.  Buyer  will at all times  after
            the date of closing  continue to invoice any  existing
            tenant  of  the  Real   Property   for  all   accounts
            receivable   attributable   to   any   such   tenant's
            occupancy  of the Real  Property  prior to the date of
            closing  and  will  fully  cooperate  with  Seller  in
            Seller's  efforts to collect all  accounts  receivable
            which are the property of Seller hereunder.


      (f)   Payments  under  Surviving  Contracts.  Buyer  will be
            -------------------------------------
            entitled to a credit  against the  Purchase  Price for
            all  sums,   which  are  due  and  unpaid   under  the
            Surviving  Contracts  as of the date of  closing,  and
            which  are  attributable  to the  period  prior to the
            date of  closing.  Similarly,  Seller will be entitled
            to  receive  an  additional  payment at closing to the
            extent  it  has  paid  any  sum  under  any  Surviving
            Contract,  which is  attributable  to the period  from
            and after the date of closing.


      (g)   Leasing   Costs.   Except   as   otherwise   expressly
            ---------------
            provided  herein,  Buyer will be  entitled to a credit
            against the  Purchase  Price at closing for the amount
            of all unpaid costs and expenses  which were  incurred
            (or are to be incurred) in connection  with any Leases
            executed,  modified or extended by Seller prior to the
            Effective Date,  including,  without  limitation,  all

            completed   or  to   be   completed)   and   brokerage
            commissions     (collectively     "Leasing    Costs").
            Following its receipt of such  Purchase  Price credit,
            Buyer will  thereafter be solely  responsible  for the
            payment  of any such  Leasing  Costs.  Notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary contained herein,  Buyer will
            be liable for and will not be  entitled  to any credit
            at closing for any Leasing  Costs  incurred  after the
            Effective  Date,  which are either:  (i) identified in
            Exhibit  G;  (ii)  set  forth as  Buyer's  obligations
            underss.13; or (iii)  otherwise  hereinafter  expressly
            assumed in writing by Buyer.

            items of income and  expense  related to the  Property
            will be prorated  through  the date of  closing,  with
            Seller  being  entitled to receive or obligated to pay
            (with any required  payment  being made at or prior to
            closing),  as the  case  may be,  all  such  items  of
            income or expense  attributable to the period prior to
            the date of  closing,  and  Buyer  being  entitled  to
            receive or  obligated  to pay, as the case may be, all
            such items of income and expenses  attributable to the
            period from and after the date of closing.

      (i)   Items  Not to be  Prorated.  No  proration  or  credit
            --------------------------
            will be made or given  hereunder  for:  (i)  insurance
            premiums; (ii) employee salaries,  benefits,  bonuses,
            payroll taxes or other employee  costs;  and (iii) any
            amount  owing  under  any  contracts  related  to  the
            operation of the  Property,  other than the  Surviving
            Contracts.  Seller  will,  on or  before  the  date of
            closing,  terminate all agreements and pay all accrued
            costs related to such items.


For purposes of this ss.8, the determination of whether an item is "attributable
to" a particular period will, except as otherwise  expressly provided herein, be
made in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,  consistently
applied.

      ss.9.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF  SELLER.  For the  purpose  of
inducing  Buyer to enter into this  Agreement and consummate its purchase of the
Property,  Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as to the following as
of the date of Seller's execution of this Agreement.

      (a)   No  Proceedings.  To the  best of  Seller's  knowledge,  there is no
            action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending before any agency,
            court or  governmental  authority  which relate to the Seller or the
            Property  (including,  without  limitation,  any  eminent  domain or
            condemnation proceeding).

      (b)   Public Improvements.  To the best of Seller's knowledge,  Seller has
            not,  within  a  period  of  two  years  immediately  preceding  the
            Effective  Date,   received   written  notice  of  any  contemplated
            improvement  to the  Property by any public  authority,  the cost of
            which is to be assessed as a special tax or  assessment  against the
            Property in the future.

      (c)   Creditor Problems.  To the best of Seller's knowledge,  there are no
            attachments, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors or
            voluntary or  involuntary  proceedings  in bankruptcy  (or under any
            other debtor relief laws) pending against Seller or the Property.

      (d)   Leases.   Except  as   otherwise   disclosed   in  the
            ------
            accounts  receivable report attached hereto as Exhibit
            F or the list of lease  defaults  attached  hereto  as
            Exhibit  I,  all of the  Leases  are,  to the  best of
            Seller's knowledge,  in full force and effect, without
            any  default  on the  part  of  either  Seller  or the
            tenant  thereunder.  The  terms  and  rates for all of
            the  Leases,  as set forth in the rent  roll  attached
            hereto as Exhibit C, are true and accurate.

      (e)   Authority.  Seller  is an  Ohio  limited  partnership,
            ---------
            properly  organized  under  the  laws of the  State of
            Ohio,  and properly  authorized to own property and do
            business  in  the  State  of  Florida.  Seller  is the
            owner of the  Property  and has the  right,  power and
            legal  capacity  to enter into this  Agreement  and to
            convey the  Property  to Buyer  pursuant  to the terms
            and  provisions   hereof  and  to  perform  its  other
            obligations   hereunder.   The   parties  and  persons
            executing  this  Agreement  on behalf  of Seller  have
            been duly  authorized to execute this  Agreement.  The
            execution   of   this   Agreement   by   Seller,   the
            performance  by Seller of its  obligations  hereunder,
            and the sale,  transfer,  conveyance  and  assignments
            contemplated  hereunder  do not require the consent of
            any third  party,  nor do any of such acts violate the
            terms and  provisions of any agreement to which Seller
            is a party.



      (f)   No  Litigation.  To the  best of  Seller's  knowledge,  there  is no
            pending  litigation  relating to the Property (other than collection
            actions  initiated  by Seller  against  former  tenants  of the Real
            Property).

      (g)   Environmental  Matters.  Except as otherwise disclosed
            ----------------------
            in any  environmental  report made  available to Buyer
            by  Seller  pursuant  to  the   requirements  of  this
            Agreement or as  otherwise  referred to inss.29 of this
            Agreement,  no  "Hazardous  Material" (as that term is
            hereinafter  defined)  has  been  generated,  treated,
            stored, recycled,  transported,  released, discharged,
            emitted,  disposed of or  otherwise  handled at, on or
            under  the  Property  by  Seller,  or,  to the best of
            Seller's  knowledge,  by any other party, in violation
            of, and no  enforcement  action has been  initiated or
            noticed  against  Seller  or, to the best of  Seller's
            knowledge,  against any other party,  pursuant to, any
            applicable  federal,  state or local law  relating  to
            the health, safety or environment,  including, without
            limitation,  the Comprehensive  Environmental Response
            Compensation   and   Liability   Act,   the   Resource
            Conservation   and   Recovery   Act,   the   Hazardous
            Materials  Transportation  Act, the Clean Water Act or
            the Toxic  Substance  Control Act. For the purposes of
            this Agreement,  the term  "Hazardous  Material" means
            any   pollutant,    contaminant,    toxic   substance,
            hazardous   waste,   hazardous   material,   hazardous
            substance,  oil,  petroleum or  petroleum  by-product,
            which is defined in or  regulated  pursuant  to any of
            the  laws  mentioned  in  the  immediately   preceding
            sentence  of this  section.  Notwithstanding  anything
            to the contrary  contained  herein,  Seller's delivery
            of any environmental  reports to Buyer pursuant to the
            requirements  of this  Agreement  will not  constitute
            any  representation  or warranty  by Seller  regarding
            the truth or  accuracy of any such  reports;  it being
            understood  and agreed that Seller has  provided  such
            reports  solely to  facilitate  Buyer's  review of the
            Property.

EXCEPT FOR THOSE LIMITED  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS
ss.9, BUYER  ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES THAT IT IS PURCHASING  PROPERTY IN ITS "AS
IS,  WHERE IS,"  CONDITION.  BUYER  WILL RELY  SOLELY  UPON ITS OWN  INSPECTIONS
(INCLUDING THOSE MADE FOR IT BY ITS AGENTS AND  CONTRACTORS)  WITH REGARD TO THE
CONDITION  AND  CHARACTER  OF  PROPERTY,   INCLUDING,  WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  THE
ENVIRONMENTAL  CONDITION OF THE REAL PROPERTY AND THE PHYSICAL  CONDITION OF ALL
STRUCTURAL AND NONSTRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND ELEMENTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. EXCEPT
AS OTHERWISE  EXPRESSLY  PROVIDED  HEREIN,  BUYER WILL  PURCHASE AND ACQUIRE THE
PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY  REPRESENTATION  OR WARRANTY BY SELLER  WHATSOEVER,  EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO THE  CONDITION  OR CHARACTER OF THE PROPERTY OR AS TO
ITS  FITNESS  FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  ALL OF WHICH ARE  HEREBY  EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMED BY SELLER.

the date of closing, of all of the following conditions precedent:

      (a)   Buyer's  performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement,
            including,  without limitation, its payment of the Purchase Price to
            Seller in the  manner set forth in  ss.ss.3  and 12 hereof,  and its
            execution and delivery to Seller of all of those documents  required
            to be executed and delivered by it pursuant to ss.12; and

      (b)   The  simultaneous  closing  of  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Companion
            Property  under the terms of the Companion  Contract (as those terms
            are hereinafter defined).

Buyer's  obligation  to  purchase  the  Property  from  Seller is subject to the
satisfaction (or Buyer's waiver) on or before the date of closing, of all of the
following conditions precedent:

      (a)   The  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  Buyer's  inspection
            contingency under ss.5;

            the manner set forth inss.6,  its  timely  delivery  of
            the Estoppel  Certificates  in the manner set forth in

      (c)   All of Seller's  representations  and warranties under
            ss.9 being  materially  true and  correct as of the date

      (d)   The  simultaneous  closing  of  Buyer's  purchase  of the  Companion
            Property under the terms of the Companion Contract.

Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  it  is  hereby
acknowledged  and agreed  that the fact that any tenant  (other  than any Anchor
Tenant) is, as of the date of closing,  delinquent  in the payment of any amount
payable  by it under  any Lease  will not  constitute  a default  on the part of
Seller hereunder or a breach of any of its  representations  or warranties,  nor
will any such failure, in and of itself,  permit Buyer to terminate or defer its
obligation  to purchase the Property at the time and in the manner  contemplated
in this Agreement.


      ss.11.  DATE AND PLACE OF  CLOSING.  The  closing  will occur on or before
March 31, 1997, at such specific date, time and place in Orlando, Florida as are
mutually  agreed to by Seller and Buyer.  Possession  of the Property  (subject,
however,  only to the rights of tenants  under the Leases)  will be delivered to
Buyer at  closing.  All  references  in this  Agreement  to the  "closing",  the
"closing date" or the "date of closing" will mean the closing of the transaction
contemplated  in this Agreement at the time,  place and manner  contemplated  by
this Agreement.

      ss.12.  CLOSING  OBLIGATIONS/PROCEDURES.  Seller's sale of the Property to
Buyer  will  be  effected  by the  parties'  taking  the  following  described
obligatory actions at closing.


      (a)   Purchase Price Payment.  Buyer will pay the Purchase Price, plus all
            then due Additional Payments,  to Seller by means of a federal funds
            wire  transfer.  The amount of all such payments will be adjusted in
            the manner  contemplated  in this  Agreement with respect to closing
            prorations, credits, allowances and other adjustments.

      (b)   Transfer of Real  Property.  Seller  will  execute and
            --------------------------
            deliver  to  Buyer  a   transferable   and  recordable
            general  warranty deed,  pursuant to which Seller will
            transfer to Buyer  marketable  fee simple title to the
            Real  Property,  free  and  clear  of  all  liens  and
            encumbrances,    excepting    only    the    Permitted
            Exceptions.  The general  warranty deed will be in the
            form  attached   hereto  as  Exhibit  J.  The  general
            warranty deed will  expressly  reserve for the benefit
            of  Seller,  as the  owner of  Adjacent  Land (as that
            term  is  hereinafter  defined),  access  and  utility
            easements  over  the  Land,  so as to  facilitate  the
            development of the Adjacent Land, without  materially,
            adversely  impacting  the  efficient  operation of the
            Real   Property   as  a   shopping   center   complex.
            Similarly,  the general  warranty deed will convey for
            the  benefit  of Buyer  access and  utility  easements
            over the Adjacent Land (and, if required  under any of
            the Leases, a parking  easement),  so as to facilitate
            the  development  and  operation of the Land,  without
            materially,    adversely   impacting   the   efficient
            development  and  operation of the Adjacent  Land as a
            retail  complex.  The form,  content and scope of such
            easement  reservations and grants will be agreed to by
            Buyer and Seller during the Inspection Period.

      (c)   Assignment  of Leases.  Seller and Buyer will  execute

            interest in and to the  Leases,  and Buyer will assume
            any and all  obligations  of Seller  thereunder  which
            arise from and after the date of closing.  Seller will
            indemnify  and hold Buyer  harmless  from and  against
            any and all  obligations of Seller,  which arose prior
            to the date of closing.  The assignment and assumption
            of  Leases  will be in the  form  attached  hereto  as
            Exhibit K.


      (d)   Assignment  of Intangible  Property.  Seller and Buyer
            -----------------------------------
            will  execute and deliver to each other an  assignment
            and  assumption  of Intangible  Property,  pursuant to
            which  Seller  will  assign to Buyer  all of  Seller's
            rights,  title and  interest in and to the  Intangible
            Property   and   Buyer   will   assume   any  and  all
            obligations  of Seller  thereunder  which  will  arise
            from and after  the date of  closing.  The  assignment

            Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.  The bill of
            sale will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M.

      (f)   Closing  Affidavits.  Seller will  execute and deliver
            to Buyer:

                  (ii) An affidavit  with respect to off-record  title  matters,
                  which is  sufficient  to permit  the Title  Company to issue a
                  title policy for the Property in the form contemplated in ss.6
                  and  subparagraph  (i) of this ss.12;  and (iii) An  affidavit
                  affirming   the   continuing   truth  and   accuracy   of  all
                  representations   and   warranties  set  forth  in  ss.9,  or,
                  conversely,   stating  the  manner,  if  any,  in  which  such
                  representations  and warranties need to be modified to reflect
                  post-Effective Date occurrences, which are not within Seller's
                  reasonable control.


      (g)   Corporate/Partnership  Resolutions.  Seller  and Buyer
            ----------------------------------

            affirming  the  authority  of such party to enter into
            the  transaction  contemplated  in this  Agreement and

            such party to take such actions.

      (h)   Miscellaneous  Closing Documents.  Seller and Buyer will execute and
            deliver to each other a closing  statement and such other  documents
            as are  reasonably  requested  by either  Seller or Buyer to further

            obtained  and  delivered a  qualifying  survey to the Title  Company
            permitting  such survey  exception to be deleted in accordance  with
            the Title Company's standard practices and procedures.

in all  events,  have a period  of five  business  days in which to  review  and
approve or disapprove any lease or modification or termination thereof submitted
to it by Seller  hereunder.  If Buyer  consents to Seller taking any such action
with respect to any Lease, and if the sale of the Property  thereafter closes in
the manner  contemplated in this Agreement,  then, except as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller,  Buyer will be deemed to have assumed and
will pay for all  costs  incurred  with  respect  to any such  Lease,  including
without limitation, all tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions related
thereto.


      ss.14. BROKERAGE  COMMISSIONS.  Seller will at closing pay a commission to
Pizzuti  Realty of Florida  Inc.  pursuant  to a separate  agreement.  Except as
otherwise  expressly  provided above,  each of the parties hereto represents and
warrants to the other that it has not  contacted or entered  into any  agreement
with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with
this  transaction  or taken any other action which could result in any fee being
due and payable to any real estate broker,  finder,  or other party with respect
to the transaction contemplated hereunder.  Each party indemnifies and agrees to
hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability,  damage, cost or expense
(including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  incurred by or
claimed against the other party by reason of a breach of this representation and
warranty. The provisions of this ss.14 will survive the closing.


      ss.15.  RISK OF  LOSS.  The  risk of loss to the  Real  Property  from the
occurrence of a casualty or a taking by any public  authority under the power or
right of eminent domain (or by the threat thereof) will be borne by Seller until
the closing.  If the Real Property or any part thereof is substantially  damaged
or destroyed as a result of such casualty or is so taken before this transaction
closes,  then Seller will promptly  notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event
and Buyer will have the sole option of either:  (a) proceeding  with the closing
and receiving all insurance proceeds or condemnation  awards payable as a result
of such casualty or taking,  plus, with respect to any casualty,  a payment from
Seller in an amount  equal to the  deductible  amount  of any  insurance  policy
covering any such casualty;  or (b) terminating  this Agreement.  This Agreement
will terminate upon Buyer's delivery to Seller,  within the time frame set forth
below,  written notice of  termination  pursuant to clause (b),  above.  If this
Agreement  is so  terminated,  then the  Deposit  will be returned to Buyer and,
thereafter,  the parties will be relieved of any further rights,  liabilities or
obligations  under  this  Agreement,  except  for  Buyer's  indemnification  and
restoration  obligations  under this ss.5.  If Buyer fails to make the  required
election  pursuant  to this ss.15  within ten days after its receipt of Seller's
written notice of the occurrence of any such casualty or taking, then Buyer will
be deemed to have  elected to close the  transaction  pursuant  to clause (a) of
this ss.15.

      ss.16. DEFAULTS/REMEDIES.  If Seller defaults in the performance of any of
its  obligations  hereunder and such default  continues for a period of ten days
after  written  notice of the  alleged  existence  of such  default  is given to
Seller,  then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy,  pursue the remedy of
specific  performance  to  redress  such  default.  If  Buyer  defaults  on  the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a
period of ten days after written notice of the alleged existence of such default
is given to Buyer,  then Seller will be entitled to receive the entire amount of
the Deposit as full and complete  liquidated damages to redress such default; it
being expressly  acknowledged by the parties hereto that Seller's damages in the
event of a default by Buyer  hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain,
and that the receipt of the Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such
damages  and are  intended  not as a penalty,  but as full  liquidated  damages.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein,  Seller will not be
deemed to be in default under this Agreement if any fact or circumstance  occurs
after the  Effective  Date which  renders  any of Seller's  representations  and
warranties untrue or inaccurate, so long as any such fact or circumstance is not
within the reasonable control of Seller.


      ss.17.  ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any legal action is commenced by either Seller
or Buyer to enforce its rights  hereunder,  then all reasonable  attorney's fees
and other  expenses  incurred  by the  prevailing  party in such  action will be
immediately due and payable to the prevailing party by the non-prevailing party.

      ss.18.  NOTICES.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement  must be in writing  and must be  delivered  to Seller or Buyer at its
address set forth below (or such other address as may hereafter be designated by
such party). Any such notice must be personally  delivered or sent by registered

will be deemed effective when received (if sent by personal delivery,  overnight

notice  is  deposited  in the  United  States  mail  (if sent by  registered  or
certified mail). The parties' addresses for the delivery of all such notices are

      ss.19.  ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent agrees to accept, hold and disburse the
Deposit in accordance  with the terms and conditions of this  Agreement.  In the
event of doubt as to Escrow Agent's duties or liabilities  under this Agreement,
Escrow  Agent may,  in its sole  discretion:  (a)  continue  to hold the subject
matter of this  escrow  until the  parties  mutually  agree to the  disbursement
thereof or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  determines the
rights of the parties therein; or (b) deposit the same with the Clerk of Circuit
Court of Orange County Florida and upon notifying all parties  concerned of such
action, all liability on the part of Escrow Agent will fully terminate except to
the extent of an accounting for items  theretofore  delivered out of escrow.  In
the event of any legal action involving Buyer and Seller wherein Escrow Agent is
made a party by virtue of acting as Escrow Agent  hereunder,  or in the event of
the  commencement  of any legal  action  wherein  Escrow Agent  interpleads  the




subject  matter  of this  escrow,  Escrow  Agent  will be  entitled  to  recover
reasonable  attorney's fees and costs incurred,  including,  without limitation,
those  incurred  on  appeal,  if  any,  and  in any  administrative,  mediation,
arbitration  or  bankruptcy  proceedings,  said fees and costs to be charged and
assessed as court costs in favor of the  prevailing  party and deducted from the
funds  interpleaded.  Buyer and Seller  agree that the Escrow  Agent will not be
liable to any party or person whatsoever for misdelivery of the Deposit,  unless
such  misdelivery  is due to the  willful  breach  of this  Agreement  or  gross
negligence on the part of Escrow Agent,  nor will Escrow Agent be liable for any
action  taken by it,  unless  taken or  suffered  in  willful  disregard  of its
obligations   hereunder   or  with  gross   negligence.   Additionally,   Seller
acknowledges  that in the event of any  disagreement  between  Seller  and Buyer
concerning the Deposit, the transaction under this Agreement or any other matter
related  to the  Property,  Escrow  Agent may  continue  to  represent  Buyer in
connection with such dispute, including negotiations, arbitration, mediation and
litigation,  so long as Escrow Agent first  delivers the Deposit to the Clerk of
Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida in the manner previously contemplated in
this ss.19.

      ss.20.        ASSIGNMENT  OF  AGREEMENT.  Neither  Buyer,  nor  Seller may
assign all or any part of this  Agreement  to any other party,  without  first
obtaining the written consent thereto of the other party;  provided,  however,
that Buyer may assign  this  Agreement  to RRC  Centers,  Inc.  without  first
having to obtain any consent thereto from Seller.

      ss.21.        GOVERNING   LAW.  This   Agreement   will  be  construed  in
accordance with the laws with the State of Florida.

      ss.22.  ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This Agreement  contains the entire  agreement
of the  parties  with  respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof and may not be
modified or amended in any manner,  except by a written instrument executed by
both parties to this Agreement.

      ss.23. COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original document.  This document will not be binding
on the  parties,  until such time as a  counterpart  of this  document  has been
executed by each party and a copy  thereof  delivered to the other party to this
Agreement.

      ss.24.  RADON GAS  NOTIFICATION.  In accordance  with the  requirements of
Florida Statute ss.404.056

            RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
            it is  accumulated  in a  building  in  sufficient  quantities,  may
            present  health  risks to persons  who are  exposed to it over time.
            Levels of radon that exceed federal and state  guidelines  have been
            found in  buildings  in Florida.  Additional  information  regarding
            radon and radon testing may be obtained from the local county public
            health center.

      ss.25.  REASONABLENESS  OF  CONSENT.  Any  consent  or  approval  which is
required or  permitted to be given  hereunder  by either  Seller or Buyer will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such party.

      ss.26. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence for all purposes of
this Agreement.  Any time period specified herein which would otherwise end on a
weekend  day or a legal  holiday  will,  for the purpose of this  Agreement,  be
deemed to instead end on the next  business  day  following  such weekend day or
legal holiday.

      ss.27. PURCHASE OF COMPANION PROPERTY. As of the Effective Date, Buyer and
PDI St. Lucie I Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Seller, have entered into a
separate  Real Estate  Purchase  Agreement  ("Companion  Contract")  relating to
Buyer's  purchase  of the East Port Plaza  shopping  center  located in Port St.
Lucie, Florida ("Companion Property").  It is Seller's and Buyer's contemplation
that the closing of Buyer's  purchase of the Property  under this Agreement will
occur  simultaneously  with the  closing of Buyer's  purchase  of the  Companion
Property under the Companion Contract.  It will be a condition precedent to each
of Seller's  and Buyer's  obligations  under this  Agreement  that there occur a
simultaneous  closing of the Companion Property under the terms of the Companion
Contract.


      ss.28.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ADJACENT LAND. If at any time during the
five year period after the date of closing,  Seller receives a bona fide written
offer from a third party  ("Third  Party  Offer") to purchase all or any part of
the land which is described  in attached  Exhibit N  ("Adjacent  Land"),  and if
Seller,  in good faith, is willing to accept such Third Party Offer on the terms
and  conditions  specified  in such Third  Party  Offer,  then  Seller will give
written notice to Buyer of the existence and terms of such Third Party Offer and
will thereafter afford Buyer a period of five days in which to elect to purchase
the portion of the Adjacent Land which is the subject of such Third Party Offer,
on the identical  terms and  conditions  set forth in the Third Party Offer.  If
Buyer gives Seller written notice within the aforementioned five-day period that
Buyer so elects to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent Land, then Buyer
will proceed to purchase  such portion of the Adjacent Land from Seller upon the
identical  terms and  conditions  set forth in the Third Party  Offer.  If Buyer
declines  to  purchase  the  subject  portion of the  Adjacent  Land or fails to
respond to Seller's notice within the aforementioned  five day period,  then, in
either such event, Seller will thereafter be free to sell the subject portion of
the  Adjacent  Land on the terms  and  conditions  set forth in the Third  Party
Offer;  provided,  however,  that if the subject portion of the Adjacent Land is
not sold within 90 days after the outside  date for  closing  specified  in such
Third  Party  Offer on the terms and  conditions  specified  in such Third Party
Offer,  then Seller will be again  obligated to offer the subject portion of the
Adjacent  Land to Buyer as  hereinabove  provided.  The  right of first  refusal
granted to Buyer hereunder will continue to apply  throughout the five year term
set forth  above to all  portions of the  Adjacent  Land which are not sold to a
third party in accordance with the provisions of this ss.28.

      To the extent any of the existing  Leases of the Real Property  impose any
restrictions  on the  manner  in  which  the  Adjacent  Land  is to be  used  or
developed,  then Seller agrees that it will fully comply with such  restrictions
and will  require  any of its  successors-in-interest  to also  comply with such
restrictions.  If  requested  by Buyer,  Seller  will  place of public  record a
document or  documents,  inform and content  reasonably  satisfactory  to, Buyer
subjecting the Adjacent Land to such restrictions.

      ss.29. PARK DRY CLEANER SPILL. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that there has
been a spill  of  Hazardous  Materials  from  the  space  in the  Real  Property
currently  occupied by Park Dry Cleaners  ("Park Dry Cleaners'  Spill") and that
Seller  has  made  application  to  the  Florida   Department  of  Environmental
Protection's  Drycleaning  Solvent  Clean-Up  Program  to cover  the cost of the
required remediation of such spill. A Phase III environmental report prepared by
PSI and dated as of March 3, 1997, details the nature of such spill and projects
the cost of remediation of the resulting  contamination as being $40,000.  Buyer
acknowledges  receipt of a copy of the  aforementioned  Phase III  environmental
report.  Seller and Buyer hereby agree that Buyer will assume responsibility for
effecting and paying for all required  remediation  in connection  with the Park
Dry Cleaner Spill and will, in  consideration  of assuming such  responsibility,
receive  a credit  against  the  Purchase  Price  at  closing  equal to  $50,000
(representing  125% of the  anticipated  cost of  remediation  set  forth in the
aforementioned  Phase III  environmental  report).  To the extent Buyer receives
reimbursement from the Florida DEP under the  aforementioned  program for any of
the costs of such remediation,  Buyer will, within thirty days after its receipt
of such  reimbursement,  pay to Seller the lesser of: (a) the amount of such EPA
reimbursement,  net of any costs incurred by Buyer in applying for and receiving
any such reimbursement;  or (b) the amount of the Purchase Price credit given to
Buyer at closing in connection with the Park Dry Cleaner Spill.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer will not be responsible for and
Seller  will   indemnify   and  hold  Buyer   harmless   from  and  against  any
non-governmental  third party claims made against Buyer in  connection  with the
Park Dry Clean Spill (but not any claims made in connection with the remediation
thereof). The amount of the Purchase Price credit to be given to Buyer hereunder
is subject to Buyer's  review and  approval  of the  remediation  cost  estimate
during the Inspection Period.


      ss.30. AUDIT LETTER.  Seller acknowledges that Buyer, as a publicly-traded
real estate  investment  trust, is required to have the financial  operations of
the various  properties  owned by it audited by KPMG Peat  Marwick,  LLP and the
results thereof filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller agrees
that it will make all of its  financial  books and records  associated  with the
Property  available for audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP at all  reasonable  times
after the  Effective  Date and prior to the date which is six  months  after the
date of closing  Buyer will provide  Seller with at least 15 days prior  advance
notice  concerning  the conduct of any such audit by KPMG Peat  Marwick  LLP. In
addition,  Seller  hereby  agrees that it will, at the request of Buyer and KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, execute an Audit  Representation  Letter in substantially  the
form and content  attached  hereto as Exhibit O and will deliver  such  executed
Audit  Representation  Letter to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP within 15 days after KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP's request for the same.

        against all claims of any nature  whatsoever  which may result from said
        activity,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  and  agrees  to  pay  such
        reasonable  costs  and fees as may be  incurred  by  Seller  in  defense
        thereof.

7.      Buyer's  interest  in this  Contract  is  assignable,  but  may  only be

refund of the Earnest Money Deposit,  which shall forthwith be returned to Buyer
and  thereupon  Buyer and Seller  shall be released,  as to one another,  of all
further obligations under Contract.

                      Buyer any claim or interest therein.

22.     AGREEMENTS CONCERNING OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS:  The parties
        acknowledge  that  Broward  County  and  Seller's  predecessor  in title
        heretofore  entered  into  a  certain  agreement   concerning   off-site
        improvements for roads. Such agreements are (i) an Agreement/Phasing the
        Installation of Required Road Improvements  recorded in official Records
        Book 20258,  Page 105 of the public records of Broward County,  Florida,
        and (ii) a  Replacement  Road  Impact  Agreement  recorded  in  Official
        Records  Book 20258,  Page 116 of said records  (collectively  the "Road
        Improvement Agreements").  The Property is subject to the burdens of the
        Road  Improvement  Agreements,   and  a  portion  of  certain  sums  due
        thereunder  from Seller will be reimbursed by Buyer,  should the Closing
        occur.  Such portion shall be Buyer's prorata share based on the area of
        the  Property as acquired by Buyer and the  aggregate  area of the lands
        which are the subject of the Road  Improvement  Agreements.  At Closing,
        should it occur,  Buyer  shall  deposit  cash or letters of credit  with
        Escrow  Agent  until such time as the Road  Improvement  Agreements  are
        modified so as to substitute  Buyer, as the person obligated  thereunder
        with respect to the obligations  attributable  to the Property,  in such
        manner and amounts as are agreed to by Buyer, Seller and Broward County,
        prior to the conclusion of the Inspection  Period it being the intent of
        the parties that Buyer shall be  substituted  for Seller with respect to
        the  obligations  imposed  with  respect to the  Property  if and when a
        Closing  occurs,  but not otherwise.  Should such  substitution be made,
        Buyer's performance under the Road Improvement  Agreements and its right
        to the benefits thereof,  shall not be dependent upon the performance of
        any other person with respect to any other property affected by the Road
        Improvement Agreements.

23.     LEASE:  It is a condition  of closing  that Buyer have  entered  into an
        acceptable  lease of a portion of the Property with  Winn-Dixie  Stores,
        Inc., or other supermarket acceptable to Buyer. Buyer may terminate this
        agreement should such condition not occur prior to the expiration of the
        Inspection  Period,  in which event the Earnest  Money  Deposit shall be
        returned to Buyer.

                                            -4-

        are paid to Seller, Broker shall hold no claim on said deposit monies.

25.     Should this transaction close, Buyer shall landscape,  which landscaping
        plan must be approved by Seller,  the western  boundary of the  Property
        with trees and  shrubbery  to act as a buffer  between the  Property and
        Seller's remaining property. Seller's approval of such plan shall not be
        unreasonably   withheld.   The  approved   landscaping   plan  shall  be
        incorporated  into Buyer's site plan  submittal to the City of Deerfield
        Beach for Site Plan Approval. Seller agrees to approve the plan no later
        than  the  date  which  is  thirty  (30)  days  prior  to the end of the
        Inspection Period.

parties hereto shall jointly and severally  indemnify and hold Escrow Agent free
and  harmless  from and against any and all loss,  cost,  damage,  liability  or
expense, including costs of reasonable attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may
be put or which may incur by reason of or in connection with such controversy or
litigation,  except to the extent it is finally determined that such controversy
or  litigation   resulted  from  Escrow  Agent's  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct.  If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents),  the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.

        priate Federal tax identification numbers.

                                        REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT


                  THIS REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is made this ____ day of May, 1994, between RRC GA
ONE, INC., a Georgia Corporation ("Borrower"), and WACHOVIA BANK OF
GEORGIA, N.A., a national banking association chartered pursuant to
the laws of the United States of America ("Lender").

                                              ARTICLE 1 - BACKGROUND

                  1.1      Background.  Lender has agreed to extend a line of
credit (the "Line of Credit") in the aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 to Borrower under which separately documented, secured
(except as hereinafter provided in subsection 2.2.3) loans may be
made subject to and upon the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

                  1.2      Statement of Agreement.  For and in consideration of
the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of $10.00 and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as indicated in
this Agreement.

                                              ARTICLE 2 - AGREEMENTS

                  2.1      Line of Credit.  Subject to the terms hereof, Lender
extends to Borrower a revolving line of credit in the maximum
amount of $5,000,000 inclusive of all outstanding principal and
interest (the "Line of Credit"), available from the date hereof
until April __, 1995, unless terminated earlier in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.  The aggregate amount of principal and
interest due with respect to all loans made hereunder (individually
called a "Loan" and collectively called "Loans") shall never exceed
the sum of $5,000,000.  Borrower may submit a request for a
disbursement under the Line of Credit only in accordance with
Section 2.2 of this Agreement.  Prior to an Event of Default, as
said term is hereinafter defined, or maturity of any of the Loans,
the principal balance of all indebtedness evidenced by any Loan
from time to time arising under the Line of Credit shall bear
interest at one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) plus the "Prime
Rate" (as hereinafter defined), as such rate may fluctuate from
time to time, simple interest.  For purposes of the Line of Credit,

                                                     - 1 -

the term "Prime Rate" shall mean the interest rate so denominated
and set by Lender from time to time as an interest rate basis for
borrowings.  The Prime Rate is one of several interest rate bases
used by Lender.  Lender lends at interest rates above and below the
Prime Rate.  In the event that Lender shall abolish or abandon the
practice of establishing its Prime Rate, Lender shall designate a
comparable reference rate which shall be deemed to be the Prime
Rate hereunder.  The rate of interest on every Loan hereunder shall
change each time the Prime Rate changes on the date of the change
in which the Prime Rate is effective.  Interest shall be computed
on every Loan hereunder with respect to each day during the term of
the Loan by multiplying the outstanding principal balance
thereunder at the close of business on that day (or on the most
recent day on which Lender was open for business) by a daily
interest factor, which daily interest factor shall be calculated by
dividing the aforesaid interest rate per annum in effect on that
day by 360.  Interest so computed shall accrue for each and every
day (365 days per year, 366 days per leap year) on which any
indebtedness under the Loan remains outstanding, including the day
on which funds are initially advanced regardless of the time of day
such advances are made, and including the day on which funds are
repaid unless repayment is credited prior to close of business.
Payments in federal funds immediately available to the place
designated for payment received by Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. local
time at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of
business, while other payments may, at the option of Lender, not be
credited until immediately available to Lender in federal funds in
the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at
said place of payment on a day on which Lender is open for
business.  As indicated in the form of Real Estate Note attached
hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Note"), Borrower may be entitled to a reduced rate of interest on
particular Loans upon the fulfillment of certain conditions
precedent and the acknowledgement in writing of the fulfillment of
those conditions precedent by Lender with respect to the applicable
Loan.  Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly during the
term of the Loan.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, all outstanding principal and unpaid interest for each
particular Loan shall be due in full on the earliest of (a) date of
closing of any additional financing for the "Project" (as defined
in Section 2.2 below) securing that particular Loan or any portion
thereof, (b) the date of closing of any sale of the Project or any
portion of said Project, or (c) twenty-four (24) months from the

                                                     - 2 -
19579-1


date of closing of that particular Loan.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for each particular Loan, Borrower may request an
extension of the maturity date for that particular Loan in
accordance with the terms and conditions more particularly set
forth in that certain Construction Loan Agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit F  and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Loan
Agreement").  Equal monthly principal payments of $2,000 shall be
due on each Loan commencing on the first anniversary date of the
closing of that particular Loan and extending to the maturity date
of that particular Loan subject to the right of Borrower to extend
the maturity of that particular Loan as provided in the Loan
Agreement.  The payment and performance of all of Borrower's
obligations under the Line of Credit and all Loans shall be
unconditionally guaranteed by Regency Realty Corporation, a Florida
corporation ("Guarantor").

                  2.2      Disbursement of Loans.

                           2.2.1  Except as expressly provided to the contrary
in subsection 2.2.3 below, Borrower may request disbursement of
proceeds for a Loan only after approval by Lender of the proposed
Project, which approval shall be provided upon the satisfaction of
the conditions hereinafter described in subsections 2.2.1.1 through
2.2.1.9.  Proceeds for a Project will only be disbursed in a
maximum amount equal to the lesser of:  (a) 80% loan to appraised
value of the Project or (b) 80% loan to the actual costs of the
acquisition of the "Land" (as hereinafter defined) and construction
of the Project.  "Project" shall mean the construction by Borrower
of a freestanding retail building located in Georgia, Tennessee,
Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina or Alabama together with
parking and other appurtenant facilities upon land owned by
Borrower (the "Land") and the acquisition and installation of
personal property to be used in connection with said retail
building.  The Project must be leased in its entirety to Eckerd
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Eckerd").  Lender shall have
the right, subject to the terms herein stated, to approve any
proposed Project for financing under the Line of Credit.  Lender's
review and approval shall be limited to and shall be granted upon
the satisfactory delivery by Borrower of the following items:

                                    2.2.1.1  Borrower shall submit an agreement
fully-executed by Eckerd for the leasing of the Project which
agreement must be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and

                                                     - 3 -
19579-1


must include a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement executed by Eckerd in favor of Lender in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender together with an estoppel
certificate executed by Eckerd in favor of Lender in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender.  Without in any way limiting
Lender's foregoing right of approval, each proposed agreement for
leasing by Eckerd of the Project must provide for an acceptable
minimal rental, term and leaseable square footage of the Project.

                                2.2.1.2  Borrower shall submit a description of
the Land upon which the Project shall be located, the plans and
specifications for any and all improvements within the Project and
a breakdown of all costs associated with the acquisition,
construction and operation of the Project and the financing thereof
which shall be approved by Lender in its discretion as a condition
to closing of the Loan.  The aforesaid approval of Lender shall
include the review by Newbanks & Company, Inc. ("NewBanks"), a
Georgia corporation, of the cost estimates in the plans and
specifications prior to closing.  Subsequent reviews shall be
conducted by Newbanks including inspection of the Project to verify
construction progress in accordance with the applicable Loan
Agreement prior to periodic disbursements of the Loan proceeds for
each Loan.

                                  2.2.1.3  Borrower shall submit evidence in
writing that Eckerd has received final approval from its committee
for real estate for leasing of the Project (sometimes commonly
known within the real estate industry as the "Eckerd Committee Real
Estate Approval Letter").

                                2.2.1.4  Borrower shall submit a fully executed
purchase agreement and escrow agreement for each Project which has
been pre-sold by Borrower and which shall contain terms and
conditions satisfactory to Lender (which terms and conditions shall
include, without limitation, the purchase price, closing
requirements and the prospective purchaser) and which shall be
absolutely assigned to Lender in the "Loan Documents" (as
hereinafter defined).  Borrower shall also submit evidence that
Eckerd has or will deliver all forms of estoppel certificates and
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements required
by the prospective purchaser.  If the purchase agreement provides
for a cash purchase price sufficient to pay all obligations of
Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents for the applicable

                                                     - 4 -
19579-1


Project and provided that purchase agreement contains no unusual
warranty, indemnification or like provisions, then Lender shall
approve the purchase agreement.

                                    2.2.1.5  Borrower shall submit evidence that
the Land on which the Project is to be constructed lies in a
district with an appropriate zoning designation to allow
construction and operation of the Project under applicable zoning
ordinances.  This zoning verification shall include evidence to
demonstrate that all applicable materials relative to the
restrictions and requirements which relate to such zoning,
including lot size, building size and height, setbacks, parking,
use and other relevant matters for the Project have been met and
that the intended use of the Project is permitted as a matter of
right.

                                    2.2.1.6  Borrower shall deliver a Phase I
Environmental Report evaluating the Land on which the Project is to
be constructed and setting forth findings and conclusions
satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.  The aforesaid Phase
I Environmental Report, or other evidence to be delivered by
Borrower to Lender such as a survey of the Land, shall also
indicate that the Project when constructed will not be located in
an area having special flood hazards according to the flood hazard
boundary maps used by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development in connection with the National Flood Insurance
Program and shall indicate that the proposed construction of the
Project and the contemplated use of the Project are such that
provisions of the laws relating to the filling, dredging,
excavation or other usage of lands classified as wetlands or lands
which are subject to periodic flooding or have thereon standing or
moving bodies of water are not applicable to the construction of
the Project.

                                2.2.1.7  Borrower shall deliver an appraisal of
the Project satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion as to
form and substance.  Lender shall have the right to approve the
qualifications for any party who may deliver any such appraisal.

                                  2.2.1.8  Borrower shall deliver a mortgagee's
title insurance commitment issued by a reputable national title
underwriter approved by Lender in the full amount of the proposed

                                                     - 5 -

Loan for the Project upon terms and conditions satisfactory to
Lender in its sole discretion.

                                 2.2.1.9  Borrower shall deliver all other pre-
closing requirements and loan closing documents as set forth on the
Loan Closing Checklist attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by this reference.

                           2.2.2  Upon submission of the above pre-closing
requirements, Lender shall direct its counsel to prepare loan
closing documents (the "Loan Documents") as set forth in the Loan
Closing Checklist and substantially in the form of those documents

herein by this reference.  These Exhibits attached hereto are as

Each of the aforesaid documents shall be executed by Borrower,
Guarantor, Eckerd and/or the third party indicated therein and
shall shall be delivered to Lender for its execution.

                           2.2.3  Notwithstanding subsections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2
above, Borrower may request that Lender disburse up to $500,000
under the Line of Credit on a temporarily unsecured basis provided
said funds are either:  (a) secured by an approved Project within
45 days of the applicable advance or (b) repaid in their entirety
with interest thereon as provided hereunder on or before the 45th
day after said advance.   For any temporary advance under this
subsection, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an
unsecured note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R and shall
cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty of
unsecured note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S.

                  2.3      Purpose.  Proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely
for an approved Project (except that for disbursements made
pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.2.3 above the Project need
not be approved), and in no event shall any proceeds of any Loan be
used for personal, family or household purposes.

                  2.4      Final Approval and Limitations.  The obligation of
Lender to make any Loan is conditioned upon prior approval of each
separate request for a Loan by Borrower and prior approval of the
proposed Project or to the extent applicable the temporarily
unsecured Loan as provided in subsection 2.2.2 above.

                  2.5      Condition of Closing Subsequent Loans.  In addition
to the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 above, Lender shall have
no obligation to make any Loan if there shall exist any event of
default hereunder or under any Loan Documents for a previously
funded Loan.  The obligations of Borrower under all Loan Documents
with regard to all Loans shall be cross-defaulted within the Loan
Documents such that a default under the Loan, not cured as provided
in the Loan Documents (if any cure period is provided), shall
constitute a default under all of the Loans.  In addition, each
Project shall be cross-collateralized such that each Project serves
as collateral for all outstanding Loans, provided that upon the
full and final payment of a Note evidencing a Loan, the security
provided to collateralize that particular Note, including the
Security Deed for that particular Note, shall be cancelled and
terminated.

under the Line of Credit, Lender shall apply such payments as
provided in the Note evidencing such Loan.

                  2.7      Events of Default.  Borrower shall be in default

following events occur (an "Event of Default"):

                           2.7.1  Failure to pay any installment of principal
or interest due under any Note evidencing a Loan as and when due
thereunder; or

                           2.7.2  Failure to observe and perform each and every

Borrower or Guarantor; or

                           2.7.4  Filing by Borrower or Guarantor of a

reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights or limits of
creditors generally, as in effect from time to time, or an answer
by Borrower or Guarantor admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against Borrower or Guarantor in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, conservatorship or similar proceeding
or an admission by Borrower or Guarantor in writing of non-
availability to pay any debts that become due; or

owned by Borrower or Guarantor, not dismissed within sixty (60)
days in the event of an involuntary action.

                           2.7.7  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrower shall receive the benefit
of the notice and cure periods (if any) set forth in Paragraph D-1
of Exhibit "D" to the Security Deed prior to an "Event of Default"
and the exercise by Lender of its remedies hereunder with respect
thereto.

                  2.8  Remedies.  If any Event of Default occurs hereunder,
Lender may require the entire principal and all interest accrued on
the Loans to be, and the same shall thereupon become due and
payable, without any presentment, demand, notice of intention to
accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
If Borrower fails to pay when due, the principal and interest owing
under any Loan or any other charges owing under any of the Loan
Documents, Borrower will pay Lender such further amount as may be
sufficient to cover the cost and expenses of collection, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees of Lender's counsel
and expenses related thereto.

                  2.9      Financial Statements.  Borrower shall keep and

accounts and to make copies thereof.  Borrower shall deliver to
Lender within thirty (30) days after notice by Lender unaudited

copies of any audited general financial statements prepared for
Borrower or any Guarantor and copies of any audited reports

                  2.10     Term of Agreement.  This Agreement and the Line of
Credit shall continue unless sooner terminated as provided herein
until May __, 1995.  Upon any such termination, Borrower's
obligations and the powers and rights of Lender under this
Agreement and any of the Loan Documents shall continue in full

default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy
given by this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to Lender may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by Lender.  No consent or waiver, expressed or implied,
by Lender to or of any default shall be deemed or construed to be
a consent or waiver to or of any other default.  No delay,
indulgence, departure, act or omission by Lender shall release,
discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original
liability under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any
other obligation of Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of a
Project or any part thereof, or any maker, surety or Guarantor, or

whatsoever securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans or
release any Guarantor, and no such action will release Borrower's
obligations hereunder or alter the effect hereof.  No right, power
or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender hereunder is
intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but
each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and
remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

                  3.2      Survival of Certain Agreements.  Notwithstanding the
repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans and the
cancellation or transfer of the Loan Documents, or any foreclosure
of, or sale under power contained in, any of the Loan Documents, or
the acquisition by Lender of title to any Project in lieu of
foreclosure, or any other realization upon collateral securing any
indebtedness evidenced by the Loans, all agreements of Borrower
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to pay the
costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the Loans
contemplated by the Loan Documents and all agreements of Borrower
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to indemnify
and/or hold harmless Lender shall continue in full force and effect
so long as there exists any possibility of expense or liability on
the part of Lender.

                  3.3      No Obligation to Third Parties.  The Loans are and
will be made solely for the benefit of Lender.  No tenant nor any
party involved with the construction of any Project nor any other
party whatsoever shall have standing to bring any action against
Lender as the result of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or to
assume that Lender will exercise any remedies provided herein, and
no party other than Lender shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of
any provision of the Loan Documents, any and all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Lender in its discretion at
any time.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to impose upon Lender any liability for
the performance of any obligation of Borrower.

                  3.4      Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Borrower and Lender and their
respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors,
successors-in-title and assigns, subject to all restrictions on

nor the proceeds of any Loans contemplated by the Loan Documents
may be assigned by Borrower without the prior consent of Lender
which may be given or withheld at the discretion of Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may assign its rights under
this Agreement to an affiliate, subsidiary or corporate parent of
Borrower so long as:  (a) there is no Event of Default under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (b) Guarantor and Borrower
remain fully obligated for performance of all obligations under
this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (c) Borrower provides
such financial and business information concerning the proposed
assignee as Lender may reasonably request.  This Agreement may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.  This Agreement
contains the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender relating
to the Line of Credit and supersede entirely any and all prior
written or oral agreements with respect thereto; and Borrower and
Lender hereto acknowledge and agree that there are no
contemporaneous oral agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
create an agency, partnership or joint venture between Borrower and
Lender.  All personal pronouns used in this Agreement whether used
in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all
other genders; the singular shall include the plural, and vice
versa.  Titles of articles and sections in this Agreement are for
convenience only and in no way define, limit, amplify or describe
the scope or intent of any provisions thereof.  If more than one
person or entity constitutes, collectively, Borrower or Guarantor,
all of the provisions of this Agreement referring to Borrower or
Guarantor shall be construed to refer to each such person or entity
individually as well as collectively.  When anything is described
or referred to in this Agreement in general terms and one or more
examples or components of what has been described or referred to
generally is associated with that description (whether or not
following the word "including"), the examples or components shall
be deemed illustrative only and shall not be construed as limiting
the generality of the description or reference in any way.
Wherever in this Agreement the approval or consent of Lender is
required or permitted, or wherever a requirement of Lender or the
standard of acceptability or satisfaction of Lender must be
determined, such approval, consent or determination of Lender shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that
wherever it is indicated that such approval, consent or

                                                     - 13 -

determination is to be given or made at the option or in the
discretion or judgment of Lender, then Lender may grant or withhold
such approval or consent or make such determination without
restriction in its sole and absolute discretion.  If any provisions
of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the
application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances
shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest
extent permitted by law.  Time is of the essence with respect to
each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower under
this Agreement.  All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are by
such reference incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set
forth therein.  The parties acknowledge and agree that they have
been represented by counsel and that each of the parties has
participated in the drafting of this Agreement.  Accordingly, it is
the intention and agreement of the parties that the language, terms
and conditions of this Agreement are not to be construed in any way
against or in favor of any party hereto by reason of the
responsibilities in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement.

                                   FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

         THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of March 24, 1997 by
and  among  REGENCY  REALTY  CORPORATION  ("Borrower"),  each of the  Guarantors
signatory  hereto   ("Guarantors"),   each  of  the  Lenders   signatory  hereto
("Lenders")  and WELLS  FARGO BANK,  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION,  a national  banking
association  and successor in interest to Wells Fargo Realty  Advisors  Funding,
Incorporated, individually ("Wells Fargo") and as Agent ("Agent").

         WHEREAS, Borrower, Lenders and Agent are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement  dated as of May 17, 1996 (as amended  prior to the date  hereof,  the
"Credit  Agreement")  and  desire  to amend  certain  provisions  of the  Credit
Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE,  for good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

         Section 1.  Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement.

         (a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting from Section 1.1
the  definition  of  the  terms  "Applicable  Margin",   "Capitalized   EBITDA",
"Development  Property",  "Eligible Property",  "Funds From Operations",  "Gross
Asset Value", "Guarantor", "Maximum Loan Availability",  "Revolving Commitment",
"Revolving Credit Termination Date",  "Subsidiary" and "Unencumbered Pool Value"
and substituting in their respective places the following:

                  "Applicable   Margin"   shall   mean,   as  of  any   date  of
determination, the percentage rate set forth below for LIBOR Loans corresponding
to the rating assigned to the senior long-term unsecured debt obligations of the
Borrower, as rated by the Rating Agencies:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Level                    Rating                       Applicable Margin
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      1        BBB/Baa2 or higher                                       1.375%
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2        BBB- or Baa3 or lower or unrated                         1.50%
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         The Agent shall  determine the  Applicable  Margin from time to time in
         accordance with the above table and notify the Borrower and the Lenders
         of such  determination.  If the Rating  Agencies  assign  ratings which
         correspond  to  different  levels  on  the  above  table  resulting  in
         different Applicable Margin determinations,  the Applicable Margin will
         correspond  to the lower of the two levels.  If only one Rating  Agency
         exists or continues rating the Borrower's  senior  long-term  unsecured
         debt  obligations,  such agency's  rating shall be used for purposes of
         the above table.  Each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a
         change in the rating of the Borrower's senior long-term  unsecured debt
         obligations  shall take effect on the first  calendar  day of the month
         following  the month in which such rating is publicly  announced by the
         relevant Rating Agency.




                  "Capitalized EBITDA" means, with respect to a Person and as of
         a given date,  (a) such  Person's  EBITDA for the fiscal  quarter  most
         recently  ended  times (b) 4 and divided by (c) 9.75%.  In  determining
         Capitalized  EBITDA (i) EBITDA  attributable to real estate  properties
         either  acquired  or  disposed  of by such  Person  during  such fiscal
         quarter shall be disregarded, (ii) Fee Income for the applicable period
         shall be excluded from EBITDA,  (iii) any amounts deducted from the net
         earnings of Properties  owned by  Consolidated  Subsidiaries in which a
         third  party owns a  minority  equity  interest  shall be  included  in
         EBITDA;  and (iv)  distributions of cash received by such Person during
         such period from any of its Unconsolidated Affiliates shall be excluded
         from EBITDA.

                  "Eligible  Property"  means a Property which  satisfies all of
         the  following  requirements  as  determined  by the  Agent:  (a)  such
         Property  is owned in fee  simple  by the  Borrower  or a Wholly  Owned
         Subsidiary of the Borrower; (b) neither such Property, nor any interest
         of the Borrower or such Wholly Owned Subsidiary  therein, is subject to
         any Lien other than  Permitted  Liens or to any  agreement  (other than
         this  Agreement or any other Loan Document) that prohibits the creation
