     Seller, Purchaser and Lessee hereby covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. Sale of Parcel and Acceptable Title.

     Section 1.01 Each Seller, as to its interest only, shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract: (i) the approximately 44.385 acre tract of real property listed and described on Exhibit 1-A owned by 44+ Acres (the “44+ Acres Land”) attached hereto and made a part hereof; (ii) the tracts of real property containing approximately 49.3616 acres listed and described on Exhibit 1-B owned by Mason (the “Mason Land,” together with the 44+ Acres Land, collectively, the “Land”) attached hereto and made a part hereof; (iii) the buildings and Seller’s interest in all improvements situated on the Land (collectively, the “Buildings”); (iv) all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to the land lying in the bed of any street or highway in front of or adjoining the Land to the center line thereof and to any unpaid award for any taking of any portion of the Land or Buildings by condemnation, or any damage to the Land or Buildings by reason of a change of grade of any street or highway; (v) all the estate and rights of Seller in and to the Land, the Buildings, and all appurtenances thereto; (vi) all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to the fixtures and equipment attached to the Land and/or the Buildings, excluding, however, trade fixtures used in the operation of the business conducted at the property (the “Personal Property”); and (vii) all of Seller’s interest, to the extent transferable, in all permits, licenses, warranties, contracts and intangibles with respect to the construction, operation, maintenance or repair of the Buildings and other improvements on the Land

(collectively, the “Permits”). The Land, Buildings and other interests being sold and purchased as provided in this Section 1.01 are referred to herein collectively as the “Parcel.”

     Section 1.02 Seller shall convey and Purchaser shall accept fee simple title to the Parcel in accordance with the terms of this Contract, free and clear of all liens, claims, easements, and encumbrances whatsoever except for the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined). Academy shall convey and Purchaser shall accept all of Academy’s interest in the leasehold improvements constructed and installed by Academy on the Land (“Academy Leasehold Improvements”), as further described in Exhibit 4 attached hereto.

     Section 1.03 Each Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that 44+ Acres and Mason, acting collectively as Seller, have elected to enter into a single contract for the sale of the 44+ Acres Land and the Mason Land as a matter of convenience to Seller and Purchaser, and, accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, the terms and provisions of this Contract shall apply to and be binding on each Seller only with respect to the property actually owned by such Seller that is subject to this Contract as indicated on Exhibit 1-A and Exhibit 1-B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either 44+ Acres or Mason breaches or defaults in its obligations under this Contract, makes a material misrepresentation under this Contract or fails to satisfy any closing conditions applicable to it, Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase any portion of the Land.

ARTICLE 2. Purchase Price.

     Section 2.01 The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Parcel is ONE HUNDRED TWO MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($102,000,000.00), payable as follows:

          (a) Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) by immediately available federal funds transferred to the escrow account of the Title Company (sometimes hereinafter referred to herein as the “Escrow Agent”), within three (3) business days after the full execution and delivery of this Contract (the “First Downpayment”).

          (b) One Million, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) by immediately available federal funds transferred to the escrow account of the Escrow Agent, within

three (3) business days after the full execution and delivery of this Contract (the “Second Downpayment”).

          The First Downpayment, the Second Downpayment and, if deposited, the Extension Downpayment (as hereinafter defined) are referred to in this Contract as the “Downpayment”. Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Downpayment and interest earned thereon, in accordance with the standard escrow provisions of the Escrow Agent, and

          (c) Balance of the Purchase Price (i.e., Purchase Price less Downpayment and interest earned thereon) for the Parcel at the Closing by immediately available federal funds transferred to such account in such bank as Seller shall designate.

     Section 2.02 During the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined), Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to agree on the proper allocations of the Purchase Price, but failure to reach such agreement shall not result in a default under or termination of this Contract.

ARTICLE 3. Closing; Due Diligence; Net Lease.

     Section 3.01 Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, the closing of title pursuant to this Contract (the “Closing”) shall take place no later than January 16, 2007 (the “Closing Date”). The time and place of closing shall be 10:00 a.m. at the offices of LandAmerica Financial Services/Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, Phoenix National Division (“Title Company”), or such other location as the parties may agree upon or, at the option of either Purchaser or Seller, in escrow through the Title Company. Purchaser acknowledges that Title Company shall use Veritas Title Partners, L.P. as its local agent.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to no later than January 26, 2007 by delivering written notice to Seller prior to January 10, 2007 and by depositing an additional earnest money deposit of Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Extension Downpayment”) with Title Company.

     Section 3.02 (a) Purchaser shall have from the date of the execution of this Contract until January 2, 2007 (the “Due Diligence Period”) to conduct a due diligence review of the Parcel (including, without limitation, the physical condition of the Parcel and the state of title to the Parcel) and to secure approval of any financing Purchaser may require or desire in connection with its acquisition of the Parcel (including, without limitation, such lender’s approval of the form and substance of the Lease, as defined in Section 3.03 below). During the Due Diligence Period, Seller

and Academy will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to have any existing environmental reports and studies updated and certified to Purchaser and its lender, if any, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. After such examination and inspection, if for any reason Purchaser decides to withdraw from this transaction, Purchaser shall send notification of its withdrawal to Seller and Lessee. If Purchaser notifies Seller and Lessee of its withdrawal, neither party under this Contract shall have any obligation to the other and the Downpayment, together with accrued interest, shall be remitted by Escrow Agent as follows:

The Second Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be remitted to Purchaser; and

The First Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be remitted to Seller, except that, if any third party reports obtained by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period (including any updates obtained by Purchaser to any of the existing third party reports provided to Purchaser by Seller as referenced in Section 3.02(d) hereof) reveal information about the Parcel that is adversely different in any material respect from the information about the Parcel contained in the documents and other items referenced in Section 3.02(d) hereof, then the First Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon (less the Independent Consideration, as hereinafter defined), shall be remitted to Purchaser.

     Time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s withdrawal option. Purchaser shall not have the right to withdraw from this transaction, or to alter or modify the terms, provisions or conditions of this Contract or the form of the Lease, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and any such notice given after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall have no force and effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from terminating this Contract pursuant to Section 13.01. Seller shall allow Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s representatives full access to the Parcel and to Seller’s books and records for the purposes of inspection of, including, but not limited to, sales reports and environmental reports in the possession of Seller. The “Independent Consideration” shall be the sum of $100.00 from the First Downpayment which sum shall be retained by Seller in any event hereunder as consideration for Seller’s grant of the “Due Diligence Period” option to Purchaser.

          (b) If Purchaser notifies Seller and Lessee of its withdrawal as set forth in Section 3.02(a) above or if this Contract is terminated for any other reason, any and all records and other information and copies of work sheets and other documents and materials obtained by

4

Purchaser, including, without limitation, documents and/or materials obtained by Purchaser from third parties, shall be delivered to Seller and Purchaser shall not retain any copy or reproduction of any such written document or information, and all of such information shall continue to be held in confidence by Purchaser as set forth in Section 3.02(c) below.

          (c) Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents and representatives shall hold the terms of this Contract and all information obtained with respect to the Parcel or Academy in confidence and shall not disclose its content to others, except to Purchaser’s principals, advisors, investors, consultants and lender and those parties approved by Seller and Academy or as may be required by law, subpoena or other legal process. Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract, the provisions of this Section 3.02(c) and Section 3.02(b) above shall survive any termination of this Contract and the limitations on Seller’s remedies under Section 13.02 shall not in any way limit Seller’s or Academy’s enforcement of the provisions of this Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.02(b) above.

          (d) Prior to the execution of this Contract, Academy has provided to Purchaser (i) copies of any and all documents and instruments affecting the Parcel in Academy’s or Seller’s possession, including, but not limited to, site plans, surveys, soil and substrata studies, environmental site assessments, architectural renderings, plans and specifications, engineering plans and studies, landscape plans, and other plans, diagrams, or studies of any kind, if any, plus all other related items, if any, relating to the Parcel; (ii) a title commitment for the issuance of the Owner Title Policy described in Section 10.02 below, together with copies of all documents referenced therein (the “Title Commitment”); and (iii) a copy of Seller’s existing survey of the Land, Building and the appurtenances thereto of the Parcel (the “Existing Survey”).

          (e) Purchaser shall have until December 12, 2006 (the “Title Review Period”) to examine the Title Commitment and the Existing Survey (collectively the “Title Materials”) and to object in writing to any matters reflected thereby (the “Objections”). If an update or endorsement to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser or an updated or revised survey for the Parcel (each, a “Title/Survey Update”) discloses a title or survey matter that was not disclosed in the Title Materials, the Existing Survey or in a previous Title/Survey Update, Purchaser may deliver to Seller, within four (4) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Title/Survey Update (“Title Update Review Period”) a written Objection to such defect first disclosed on the Title/Survey

5

Update accompanied by a copy of the Title/Survey Update. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to all matters reflected in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and to the state of facts shown on the Existing Survey, other than Objections that have been timely given and provided that, in no event shall Purchaser be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to (i) monetary liens, encumbrances or security interests against Seller and/or the Parcel, (ii) encumbrances that have been voluntarily placed against the Parcel by Seller or Academy after the date of the Title Commitment without Purchaser’s prior written consent and that will not otherwise be satisfied on or before the Closing, (iii) exceptions for any repurchase options of record with respect to the Parcel or any portion thereof, (iv) exceptions for any leases or other occupancy agreements affecting the Parcel or any portion thereof (other than the Lease), or (v) exceptions that can be removed from the Title Commitment by Seller’s delivery of a customary owner’s title affidavit or gap indemnity (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Seller’s Required Removal Items”). All title matters and exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and the state of facts shown on Seller’s existing survey which are not Objections, or which are thereafter deemed to be accepted or waived by Purchaser as hereinafter provided, other than the Seller’s Required Removal Items, are hereafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”. If Purchaser notifies Seller within the Title Review Period or the Title Update Review Period, as applicable, of Objections, then within four (4) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Title Response Notice”) of the Objections which Seller agrees to satisfy on or prior to the Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and of the Objections that Seller cannot or will not satisfy. Failure by Seller to respond to Purchaser by the expiration of said four (4) business day response period shall be deemed as Seller’s election not to cure the Objections raised by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, in any event, be obligated to satisfy Seller’s Required Title Removal Items. If Seller chooses not to satisfy all or any of the Objections that Seller is not obligated to satisfy, Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof within the allowed four (4) business day period, then Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised by the later of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or four (4) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller’s Title Response Notice, of either (i) terminating this Contract by giving written notice of termination to Seller or (ii) electing to consummate the purchase of the Parcel, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objections and such

Objections shall become “Permitted Exceptions” for all purposes hereunder. Failure by Purchaser to respond to Seller by the expiration of said four (4) business day response period shall be deemed its election to waive the applicable Objection(s), which shall become “Permitted Exceptions”. If Purchaser terminates this Contract pursuant to clause (i) above, neither party under this Contract shall have any obligation to the other and the Downpayment, together with accrued interest, shall be remitted by Escrow Agent as follows:

The Second Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be remitted to Purchaser; and

The First Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be remitted to Seller, except that, if any Title/Survey Update obtained by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period reveals information that is adversely different in any material respect from the information contained in the Title Commitment and Existing Survey provided to Purchaser by Seller, then the First Downpayment, together with accrued interest thereon (less the Independent Consideration), shall be remitted to Purchaser.

     Section 3.03 At the Closing, Purchaser and Lessee shall (i) execute and, as applicable, acknowledge (a) four (4) counterparts of a lease between Purchaser, as landlord, and Academy, as tenant, for the Parcel, such lease to be in form and substance as the lease annexed hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Lease”), and (b) a lease memorandum for the Parcel in recordable form (“Lease Memorandum”), and (ii) deliver to the other, two (2) fully-executed and acknowledged counterparts of the Lease and Lease Memorandum. The initial annual rental for the Lease of the Parcel shall be $7,038,000.00 (with 1.50% annual increases thereafter). The Lease Memorandum shall be recorded at Closing in the appropriate real property records.

          (vii) No consent of any third party is required in order for either Seller to enter into this Contract and perform its obligations hereunder.

     Section 4.02 If, at or before the Closing, Seller becomes aware of any fact or circumstance which would change a representation or warranty, then Seller will immediately give notice of such changed fact or circumstance to Purchaser.

     Section 4.03 ALL OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL EXHIBITS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE LIMITED AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. Seller’s covenants to provide information and documentation and all of Seller’s representations are limited to Seller’s period of ownership of the Parcel and the actual knowledge gained by Seller with respect to the Parcel during such period of ownership, without any duty of investigation nor the implication of any such duty as to same during such period of ownership or otherwise.

this Contract as is in Seller’s possession. Seller shall not be a warrantor or guarantor of any studies or tests conducted by any person other than Seller and their employees and provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract, if any.

     Section 5.02 ALL OF ACADEMY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL EXHIBITS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE LIMITED AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. Academy’s covenants to provide information and documentation and all of Academy’s representations are limited to the term of Academy’s tenancy on the Parcel (including its tenancy in existence on the date of this Contract) (“Academy’s Tenancy”) and the actual knowledge gained by Academy with respect to the Parcel during such period, without any duty of investigation nor the implication of any such duty as to same during such period or otherwise. Purchaser acknowledges that Academy’s “actual knowledge” is limited to that of Rodney Faldyn, Chief Financial Officer of Academy, an individual who does not reside at the Parcel, and who has not undertaken any investigation with respect to such representations.

ARTICLE 6. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.

     Section 6.01 As an inducement to Seller to sell the Parcel and intending that the warranties and representations contained in this Section shall be true on the Closing Date and shall survive the Closing, Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that as of the date hereof:

          (i) Neither the execution of this Contract nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Contract will (i) conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default, or result in a termination of, any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party, (ii) violate any restriction to which Purchaser is subject or (iii) constitute a violation of any applicable code, resolution, law, statute, regulation, ordinance, judgment, rule, decree or order, of which Purchaser is aware.

          (iii) Purchaser has all requisite power and authority, has taken all actions required by its organizational documents and applicable laws and has obtained all consents which are

necessary to authorize or enable it to execute and deliver this Contract and to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Contract. The individual(s) executing this Contract on Purchaser’s behalf have been duly authorized and are empowered to bind Purchaser to this Contract.

     Section 6.02 Purchaser acknowledges that in entering into this Contract, Purchaser has not been induced by and has not relied upon any representations, warranties or statements, whether express or implied, made by Seller or any agent, employee or other representative of Seller or by any broker or any other person representing or purporting to represent Seller, which are not expressly set forth in this Contract, whether or not any such representations, warranties or statements were made in writing or orally.

     Section 6.03 PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PURCHASER IS EXPERIENCED IN THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF PROPERTIES SIMILAR TO THE PARCEL AND THAT PURCHASER PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE WILL HAVE INSPECTED THE PARCEL TO ITS SATISFACTION AND IS QUALIFIED TO MAKE SUCH INSPECTION. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER, PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE, WILL HAVE THOROUGHLY INSPECTED AND EXAMINED THE PARCEL TO THE EXTENT DEEMED NECESSARY BY PURCHASER IN ORDER TO ENABLE PURCHASER TO EVALUATE THE CONDITION OF THE PARCEL AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PARCEL (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PARCEL), AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER IS RELYING SOLELY UPON ITS OWN (OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES’) INSPECTION, EXAMINATION AND EVALUATION OF THE PARCEL AND NOT UPON ANY STATEMENTS (ORAL OR WRITTEN) WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MADE OR MAY BE MADE (OR PURPORTEDLY MADE) BY SELLER OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND ACADEMY CONTAINED IN THIS CONTRACT, THE LEASE AND THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS. AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PURCHASE PRICE, PURCHASER HEREBY AGREES TO ACCEPT THE PARCEL ON THE CLOSING DATE IN ITS “AS-IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, EXCEPT ONLY THE TITLE

WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE DEEDS DELIVERED BY SELLER TO PURCHASER ON THE CLOSING DATE AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND ACADEMY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE LEASE. THE PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY ASSUMES ALL RISKS, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, AND COSTS (AND AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES) RESULTING OR ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP, USE, CONDITION, LOCATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR OPERATION OF THE PARCEL. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 6.03 ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SELLER ENTERING INTO THIS CONTRACT AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.

ARTICLE 7. Covenants of Academy; Indemnity for Inspections and Repairs. Section 7.01 Prior to the Closing, Academy shall allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives access to the Parcel for the purposes of inspection, upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours. All inspections shall be at the sole risk of Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and Academy harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, injuries, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or liability incurred by or asserted against Seller or Academy resulting from any of those inspections. If this Contract is terminated for any reason, then within thirty (30) days after termination Purchaser shall repair any damage caused by any of those inspections so as to restore the Parcel to its same condition before the damage. Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract, the indemnity and repair provisions of this Section 7.01 shall survive any termination of this Contract and the limitations on Seller’s remedies under Section 13.02 shall not in any way limit Seller’s or Academy’s enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.01.

ARTICLE 8. Destruction, Damage or Condemnation.

     Section 8.01 Risk of loss due to damage or destruction or condemnation of the Parcel or any part thereof, shall remain with Seller until legal title passes to Purchaser. In the event of any damage, destruction or condemnation of the Parcel or any portion thereof, Purchaser shall have the option of (i) terminating this Contract, or (ii) accepting title in its damaged or destroyed condition

whereupon such damage or destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the Lease during the term of such Lease (in which event it shall be the obligation of Academy to restore after the closing of title). If Purchaser terminates this Contract pursuant to clause (i) above, neither party under this Contract shall have any obligation to the other and the Downpayment, together with accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration), shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an immaterial damage to the Parcel prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall be required to accept title in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 8.01. For purposes hereof, damage to the Parcel shall be deemed to be “immaterial” if the cost to repair or restore such damage does not exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate, the estimated time to repair or restore such damage does not exceed 90 days, and Academy cannot abate or offset any payments under the Lease or terminate the Lease.
