     (d) Lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a) below) of
         the  Property  showing occupancy date,  lease  expiration
         date,  rent, and Guarantees, if any, accompanied by  such
         tenant  financial  statements as may have  been  provided
         most recently to Seller by the Tenant and/or Guarantors.


      Buyer may cancel this agreement for any reason in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon receipt by Seller. If this Agreement is not cancelled as set
forth  above,  the  First Payment shall be non-refundable  unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under  the first paragraph  of  section  6  of  this
Agreement  (which will survive), Buyer (after execution  of  such
documents   reasonably  requested  by  Seller  to  evidence   the
termination  hereof)  shall be returned its  First  Payment,  and
Buyer  will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of  any
type  in  connection  with  the  Property  or  this  transaction,
regardless of any alleged conduct by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement.
Seller  may, at its option, retain the First Payment and  declare
this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed
to  have canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and
to  the Property, or Seller may exercise its rights under Section
14  hereof.   If  this Agreement is not canceled  and  the  First
Payment  and  the  Second Payment is made when required,  all  of
Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions; current real property  taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease defined in paragraph  11  below;
all  matters of public record; and other items disclosed to Buyer
during the Review Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment will be  returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.  Seller has no obligation to spend any funds or make  any
effort to satisfy Buyer's objections, if any.

      Pending  satisfaction of Buyer's objections,  the  payments
hereunder  required shall be postponed, but upon satisfaction  of
Buyer's objections and within ten (10) days after written  notice
of  satisfaction of Buyer's objections to the Buyer, the  parties
shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

all closing costs, which shall include escrow fees, all recording
fees,  transfer taxes and clerk's fees imposed upon the recording
of  the  deed, the cost of the title commitment, the cost  of  an
update  to  the  Survey in Sellers possession (if  an  update  is
required  by  Buyer), and the cost of issuing a  Standard  Owners
Title  Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase price,
if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Each party will pay
its  own  attorney's fees and costs to document  and  close  this
transaction.

10.  REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

     (a)  Because the Property is subject to a triple  net  lease
     (as  further  set forth in paragraph 11(a)(i),  the  parties
     acknowledge  that there shall be no need for a  real  estate
     tax proration.  However, Seller warrant that all real estate
     taxes  and  installments  of  special  assessments  due  and
     payable in all years prior to the year of Closing have  been
     paid  in  full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid  levied
     and  pending  special assessments existing on  the  date  of
     Closing  shall  be  the responsibility of Buyer,  pro-rated,
     however,  to  the  date of closing for the period  prior  to
     closing,  which  shall be the responsibility  of  Seller  if
     Tenant shall not pay the same. Buyer shall likewise pay  all
     taxes  due  and  payable in the year after Closing  and  any
     unpaid installments of special assessments payable therewith
     and  thereafter,  if such unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Property.

     (b)  All income and all operating expenses from the Property
     shall  be prorated between the parties and adjusted by  them
     as  of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled to all
     income  earned  and shall be responsible  for  all  expenses
     incurred  prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer  shall  be
     entitled  to all income earned and shall be responsible  for
     all operating expenses of the Property incurred on and after
     the date of closing.

     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest  of this Purchase Agreement to Kristina Ogland who  will

agreement  of  exchange of Real Property whereby Kristina  Ogland
will  be  an  independent  third party purchasing  the  ownership
interest  in  subject  property  from  Seller  and  selling   the
ownership  interest in subject property to Buyer under  the  same
terms  and  conditions as documented in this Purchase  Agreement.
Buyer  asks  the  Seller, and Seller agrees to cooperate  in  the
perfection  of  such  an  exchange if at no  additional  cost  or
expense to Seller or delay in time.  Buyer hereby indemnifies and
holds  Seller  harmless from any claims and/or actions  resulting
from  said  exchange.   Pursuant to  the  direction  of  Kristina
Ogland, Seller will deed the property to Buyer.

18.  CANCELLATION

     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
