Recitals

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in discussions with select investors who may be
willing to provide the Company with a loan for additional working capital
(“Investor Loan”) ; and

WHEREAS, the Company considers it to be in its best interest and in the best
interest of its shareholders that its balance sheet be enhanced by the addition
of certain real property assets; and

WHEREAS, such balance sheet enhancement would make available assets to provide
collateral for the Investor Loan; and

WHEREAS, Liu is the Company’s President/CEO and is willing to sell to the
Company a partial interest in certain real property (“Real Property”) for
purposes of balance sheet enhancement and the Company desires to acquire the
Real Property, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.           Sale and Purchase of the Real Property.

Liu hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company and the Company
hereby purchases from Liu a twenty-five percent (25%) undivided interest as a
tenant-in-common (“Transferred Interest”) in the Real Property located at 5555
Yosemite Ave., Merced, CA 95340, as more particularly described in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
 

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

 
2.           Purchase Price and Payment.

 The Purchase Price for the Transferred Interest is Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ( $250,000.00). Attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated herein by
reference,  is a copy of the 2008-2009 Merced County Real Property Tax Bill
showing the tax assessed value of $1,082,430 for the Real Property. The Company
shall pay the Purchase Price by the issuance and delivery  to Liu of Ten Million
(10,000,000) shares of the Company Common Stock (“Common Stock”), based on a
price per share of $0.025. The Company and Liu acknowledge that the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as of the date of
this Agreement was $0.04 per share. However, as a result of the restrictions on
transferability of the Common Stock, as more particularly described in Section 3
of this Agreement, it is deemed appropriate to reduce the fair market value of
the Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement
 
3.           Common Stock as Restricted Securities.

Liu acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock are characterized as
“restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933 and that consequently
the transferability and resale of the Common Stock will be limited. Liu further
acknowledges that the certificate evidencing the Common Stock will bear a legend
in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.  THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED WITHOUT A VIEW TO
DISTRIBUTION AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED
IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE
ACT AND UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SUCH
SALE OR OFFER.

4.           Restrictions on Use of Partial Interest.

The Company may use the Partial Interest only as collateral to secure the
Investor Loan. The Company may not otherwise assign, transfer, sell or  convey
the Partial Interest, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent
of Liu which shall be in his absolute discretion.

5.           Right of Repurchase/ Reconveyance of Property.

In the event the Company does not obtain the Investor Loan within twelve months
(12) of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall convey, transfer and
assign the Partial Interest to Liu by warranty deed, free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances and Liu shall assign, transfer and deliver the Common Stock to
the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
