Seller acknowledges that Buyer will be obtaining a survey of the Property ("SURVEY") in connection with its due diligence and title review for the Property. 6.2. TITLE OBJECTIONS. (a) During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of any supplement or modification to the Title Commitment, but in no event prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notice of any items shown on the Title Commitment and/or the Survey of which Buyer disapproves (individually "BUYER DISAPPROVED EXCEPTION" and collectively, "BUYER'S DISAPPROVED EXCEPTIONS"). Buyer may not disapprove of the standard printed exceptions in the Title Commitment pursuant to this Section. If Buyer does not deliver the aforementioned written notice prior to the expiration of the time provided, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved of all matters shown on the Title Commitment and the Survey. Seller shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned Buyer's notice, or deemed notice, to notify Buyer in writing which, if any, of Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions Seller elects to cure or bond over prior to the Closing. If Seller does not notify Buyer in a timely fashion, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or bond over any of Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions. Seller shall not be obligated to so cure or bond over Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions, except for monetary liens which Seller shall be obligated to remove at or before the Closing. Seller shall not be required to expend any effort or funds, or to commence litigation to cure a Buyer Disapproved Exception, except for monetary liens, which Seller shall be obligated to remove at or before the Closing. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title that are created by Seller after April 11, 2002, without Buyer's prior written consent. (b) If Seller elects to cure, but is unable to cure any or all of Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions at or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Buyer may (i) elect to waive such uncured title matter in writing; or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event Buyer shall, as its sole remedy, receive a refund of the Earnest Money and recover its verified out-of-pocket expenses. (c) If Seller elects to cure none, or some, but not all, of Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions, Buyer shall have three (3) Business Days to provide Seller with written notice of Buyer's election, as its sole remedy, to either waive its disapproval of the Buyer Disapproved Exceptions which Seller has elected not to cure, or terminate this Agreement and receive a refund Page 5 of 23 of the Earnest Money. If Buyer does not provide Seller with written notice as set forth in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money. (d) If the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify exceptions, and if such additions or modifications are not acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, and are not removed on or before the Closing, Buyer may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and the Title Company, and the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer. From and after the April 11, 2002, Seller shall not place or consent to any liens or easements against the Property or take any action to alter the condition of title to the Property without first obtaining Buyer's written consent, which may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion. (e) The standard printed exceptions in the Title Commitment, the Lease, and all matters shown on the Title Commitment, as well as any additional matters not shown by the Title Commitment and which are not Buyer's Disapproved Exceptions that the Seller is not required to cure or bond over at or prior to the Closing pursuant to this Section 6.2, and items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period or which Seller is not required to remove as provided above, shall constitute and are herein called "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS". (f) Any other term of this Agreement notwithstanding, following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall be deemed to have waived all objections to all exceptions and matters shown on the Title Commitment and/or the Survey, whether or not previously designated as or deemed by this Agreement to be Buyer's Disapproved Exception(s), all of which shall also be deemed Permitted Exceptions. 6.3. PROPERTY INSPECTION. Buyer at its cost shall conduct such physical inspections, environmental audits and studies of the Property as Buyer desires in its sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation the physical condition of the Property, the financial condition of Seller, and the investment opportunity involved with the ownership and leasing of the Property (collectively, the "PROPERTY INSPECTION"). Further, as part of the Property Inspection, Seller shall deliver to, or make available to, Buyer, any and all information related to the Property in Seller's possession or control. If the Closing fails to occur for any reason other than Seller's default, Buyer shall, without representation or warranty, provide Seller with a copy of each written report of such Property Inspection. Such reports shall be for informational purposes only and neither Seller, nor any successors, assigns, potential lender, lender, potential purchaser or purchaser of the Property (other than Buyer), shall be permitted to rely on such reports. Buyer agrees that the results of the Property Inspection shall remain confidential in accordance with Section 12.21 hereof. If Buyer is not satisfied, in its sole and unfettered discretion, with the results of the Property Inspection during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to cancel this Agreement by giving written notice of cancellation to Seller and the Title Company prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those expressly stated to survive such cancellation. In the event Buyer wishes to approve of the Property pursuant to its due diligence investigation, Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of such prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. In the event Buyer does not provide Seller with written notice of its approval of its due diligence review or of its termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved of the Property and terminated this Agreement. Except for conditions which are found to exist on the Property by Buyer, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any injury, loss, cost, liability, claim or Page 6 of 23 expense to person or property arising out of or related to the Property Inspection, and this indemnity shall survive the Closing or the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

Buyer shall then have five (5) days to satisfy said condition and the Closing shall occur within five (5) days thereafter. If Buyer does not perform such that said condition is satisfied, Sellers shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow created pursuant hereto, in which event the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than as may be expressly and specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement. If Seller elects to proceed with Closing despite the non-satisfaction of the applicable condition, Seller shall be deemed to have waived such non-satisfaction. (b) Buyer. Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property from Seller shall be subject to the occurrence, satisfaction and/or waiver of the following conditions: (i) The Title Insurer is unconditionally and irrevocably prepared and committed to issue the Title Policy in accordance with Section 9.3 above; (ii) As of the Closing, Seller shall have performed all of the obligations required to be performed by Seller under this Agreement; (iii) All representations and warranties made by Seller to Buyer in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing; and (iv) There are no significant change in the Property from the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including, but not limited to, any matter governed by Section 12.3 herein, whether considered a "substantial portion" thereunder or not.

(vi) There shall have occurred no material adverse change in the financial condition of Seller from the end of the third quarter of Seller's fiscal year ending February 28, 2002. If any of the foregoing is not satisfied or waived by Buyer, Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice setting forth the nature of the condition not so satisfied and shall demand Page 11 of 23 satisfaction thereof. Seller shall then have five (5) days to satisfy said condition and the Closing shall occur within five (5) days thereafter. If Seller does not perform such that said condition is satisfied and the failure of such condition is not the result of a default by Seller hereunder, Buyer shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow created pursuant hereto, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than as may be expressly and specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement. If the failure of a condition of Buyer's obligation to close Escrow is due to a default by Seller, the provisions of Section 11.1 shall apply. 9.6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

J. Michael Dodson is the person associated with Seller who is most knowledgeable about Seller and the matters represented and warranted herein concerning Seller. Except as expressly herein otherwise provided, the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true on and as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing as if those same representations and warranties were made on and as of such time. Such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for one (1) year. As used herein, "Seller's knowledge" shall be limited to the knowledge of J. Michael Dodson and Joe Packwood, without investigation or verification. If, at any time prior to Closing, Seller shall discover that any representation or warranty contained herein has become inaccurate in any respect, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing ("CORRECTION NOTICE"), and Buyer shall have the right if the inaccuracy of such representation and warranty is not the result of a default by Seller hereunder, as its sole remedy, by written notice to Seller and the Title Company delivered not later than the latter of (i) five (5) days after receipt of the Correction Notice, or (ii) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money.

Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the Escrow fees and costs and one-half (1/2) of the recording fees charged on all documents required to be recorded in connection with the conveyance of the Property to Buyer; excepting therefrom, any documentary tax, transfer tax or stamp tax on said conveyance which shall be paid by Seller. Seller and Buyer each shall pay its own attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses in connection with the negotiation and consummation of this transaction; excepting therefrom, a dispute, in which event Section 12.12 shall control. Any fees and costs incurred as a result of any financing of the Purchase Price or subsequent encumbering of the Property by Buyer shall be paid by Buyer (but not any fees of Seller as "Tenant" under the Lease for compliance with the terms of the Lease), but Buyer's obligations hereunder are not Page 14 of 23 subject to any financing contingency. Seller shall pay for the Title Policy, but Buyer shall pay for extended coverage and any special endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Buyer (other than those to remove exceptions to title which are not Permitted Exceptions), as well as for any title insurance policy requested by Buyer insuring the interest of any lender of Buyer in connection with the Property. 10.2.

At Closing, Seller shall pay the sums due pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(xii) above. ARTICLE 11 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 11.1. SELLER'S DEFAULT. If Seller fails to consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of (i) Buyer's breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) Buyer's continuing default of any of its covenants hereunder after ten (10) days prior written notice of such default; (iii) a failure of any condition to Seller's obligation to sell the Property to be satisfied; (iv) a termination of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so expressly provided for in this Agreement, except by reason of a default by either party; or (v) failure by Buyer to deliver the items required under Section 9.2), Buyer may make written demand on Seller to so perform. If Seller fails to comply with Buyer's written demand within five (5) days after receipt of such written demand for performance, Buyer shall have the exclusive right to (i) waive such default, (ii) seek specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement and, as an alternative remedy, all damages resulting from Seller's breach; or (iii) terminate this Agreement, obtain a refund of the Earnest Money and be reimbursed by Seller for its actual, verifiable out-of-pocket expenses plus attorneys' fees and expenses incurred to obtain same. Seller agrees that the Property is unique and that damages for failure by Seller to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine. Therefore, in the event that Seller fails or refuses to consummate the sale of the Property to Buyer and Buyer seeks specific performance, Seller specifically agrees that the remedies of specific performance are appropriate remedies for Buyer, and Seller waives and agrees not to assert any claim or defense that specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for Buyer. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BUYER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF SELLER HEREUNDER. 11.2. BUYER'S DEFAULT. If, after written demand, Buyer fails to consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of (i) Seller's breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) Seller's continuing default of any of its covenants after five (5) days prior written notice of such default; (iii) a failure of any condition to Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property to be satisfied; (iv) a termination of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so expressly provided for in this Agreement other than as a result of a default by Seller; or (v) failure by Seller to deliver the items required under Section 9.2), Seller may, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedies, Seller waiving any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) for breach of this Agreement. Due to the difficulty and inconvenience of ascertaining and measuring actual damages, and the uncertainty thereof, such Earnest Money is agreed upon by and between Seller and Buyer as a reasonable estimate of just compensation for the harm caused by Buyer's default. In addition, Buyer shall, at no cost to Seller, and without representation or warranty, immediately deliver to Seller all information, data, studies and tests regarding the Property in its possession or control, including, without limitation, studies, Page 15 of 23 tests and other results of the studies and tests prepared by or on behalf of Buyer, and all copies or reproductions of any of the foregoing. THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF SELLER FOR A BREACH BY BUYER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO IT AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. ARTICLE 12 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 12.1. BROKER'S COMMISSION. Pursuant to separate agreements entered into between Seller with Lee & Associates (David Johnson), 3200 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona, as broker, and with Julian J. Studley, 3390 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, as consultant, (respectively, the "Broker and Consultant"), Seller solely shall be obligated for all commissions and fees owing to or claimed by the Broker and Consultant in connection with this transaction. Except for the Broker and Consultant, Buyer represents to Seller that Buyer has not authorized any broker or finder to act on Buyer's behalf in connection with this transaction, and that Buyer has not dealt with any other broker or finder purporting to act on behalf of any other party. Except for the Broker and Consultant, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Buyer or on Buyer's behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Except for the Broker and Consultant, Seller represents to Buyer that Seller has not authorized any broker or finder to act on Seller's behalf in connection with the sale and purchase hereunder and that Seller has not dealt with any other broker or finder purporting to act on behalf of any other party. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Seller or on Seller's behalf with the Broker and Consultant or any other broker or finder in connection with this Agreement, the Lease and/or the transaction contemplated hereby or in the Lease. Broker and Consultant shall have no third party rights and under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, a breach by Buyer, shall Buyer have any obligations to Broker and Consultant. 12.2. ASSIGNMENT. Buyer may assign all of Buyer's rights under this Agreement to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust controlled by Glen Una Management Company, Inc., Kenneth Levy, Mark Levy and/or Wayne Levy, or any corporation, limited liability company, or trust, owned or controlled by any of them, but otherwise Buyer may not assign Buyer's rights under this Agreement without Seller's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller's reasonable discretion. In no event shall Buyer be released from its obligations under this Agreement. 12.3. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY. (a) Condemnation. In the event that all or any portion of the Property shall be taken in condemnation or by conveyance in lieu thereof or under the right of eminent domain after the Effective Date and before the Closing Date, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing ("SELLER'S CONDEMNATION NOTICE"), such writing to include all information in Seller's possession or control regarding said condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof. In such event, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other and, as Buyer's sole remedy, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer. If neither party elects to terminate within thirty (30) days of the delivery of Seller's Condemnation Notice, Buyer and Seller shall meet at a mutually agreeable place and time after the Buyer's receipt of Seller's Condemnation Notice to discuss the condemnation (or conveyance in lieu thereof), any Base Rent reduction, if any, under Page 16 of 23 the Lease and any and all other relevant matters. The Closing shall be extended for so long as is reasonably necessary to determine the amount of any condemnation award, but in no event longer than one hundred eighty (180) days. If Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, is unsatisfied with the condemnation award and/or determines that it no longer desires to purchase the Property due to the effect of the condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller at any time after its receipt of Seller's Condemnation Notice, but prior to the Closing (as such may have been extended), in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than as may be specifically and expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement. Provided Buyer hasn't terminated this Agreement pursuant to its rights hereunder, the Closing shall occur on such day as Buyer and Seller mutually agree, but in no event later than two hundred ten (210) days after the Closing Date. If Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, the Base Rent shall be as so agreed by Buyer and Seller and Seller shall assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the condemnation award to Buyer. (b) Casualty. In the event that all or any "substantial portion" (as defined below) of the Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date and before the Closing Date, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in a detailed writing of such damage. In such event, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other and, as Buyer's sole remedy, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer. If neither party elects to terminate within thirty (30) days of the delivery of notice of the casualty, (i) Seller shall restore, prior to Closing, the Property to its condition prior to such casualty; (ii) the Closing Date shall be extended to the date which is thirty (30) days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the applicable governmental authorities for Seller's restoration of the Property pursuant to subsection (i) above, but in no event longer than two hundred ten (210) days; and (iii) such Closing shall take place with no reduction in the Purchase Price. If the casualty loss does not involve a substantial portion of the Property then, (i) Seller shall restore, prior to Closing, the Property to its condition prior to such casualty; (ii) the Closing Date shall be extended to the date which is thirty (30) days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the applicable governmental authorities for Seller's restoration of the Property pursuant to subsection (i) above, but in no event longer than two hundred ten (210) days; and (iii) such Closing shall take place with no reduction in the Purchase Price. If the casualty loss involves a substantial portion of the Property and the casualty loss is not covered by Seller's insurance, Seller may terminate this Agreement by providing Buyer with written notice of such election prior to the Closing. (c) Substantial Portion Defined. For the purposes of this Section 12.3, a taking of or casualty loss to a "substantial portion" of the Property shall be deemed to include any casualty loss which is equal to or greater than (i) Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000.00) Dollars, or (ii) any casualty loss which would provide Seller as Tenant with the right to abate rent under the Lease or to terminate all or a portion of the Lease. (d) Risk of Loss. Risk of loss until Closing shall be borne by Seller. (e) Emergency Repairs. In the event the Property is damaged prior to Closing and such damage creates any emergency requiring immediate repair in order to prevent further damage to the Property, Seller shall be entitled to immediately commence such repairs, and the contractor and method of repair to be used shall be reasonably determined by Buyer and Seller. Both parties agree to cooperate to accomplish such repair in a timely manner. Casualty proceeds, if any, paid as a result of damage requiring immediate repair shall be used in paying the cost of Page 17 of 23 such repairs. Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to such repair, maintenance and restoration. 12.4. NOTICES.
