(30) days are required for its cure, then Lessor shall not be deemed in default

<PAGE>

         14.02. MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTION TO SELL. To exercise the Option to
Sell, Lessor shall deliver written notice of its interest (the "Election
Notice") in exercising such Option to Sell to Lessee at any time prior to the
expiration or termination of the Lease Term (e.g., Lessor may exercise the
Option to Sell at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease
Term, even if Lessee has provided written notice to the other of its election to
terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 2.01).

         14.03. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Leased Premises (the
"Purchase Price") shall be: (i) TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS
($25,000.00); and (ii) TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND (200,000) shares of the common stock
of Excalibur Holdings, Inc., which is the parent of Lessee (the "Shares"),
which, it is agreed, shall be valued by the parties for all purposes at $1.50
per share (the "Per Share Value") (e.g., for the purpose of determining the
premium and face amount of the Owner's Policy [hereinafter defined]).

         14.04. TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE SALE. If Lessee delivers the
Election Notice, then the following shall apply:

         (a) Lessee shall deliver to a local title company designated by Lessee
(the "Title Company") the sum of $5,000 ("Earnest Money") within twenty (20)
days after delivery of the Election Notice by Lessor, which Earnest Money shall
be released to Lessor as liquidated damages in the event of a breach by Lessee
of its obligation to purchase the Leased Premises.

         (b) Contemporaneously with the delivery of the Election Notice by
Lessor, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee all of the following items: (i) all
available architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical "as-built" plans
and specifications for the improvements constituting part of the Leased
Premises, together with copies of the building permit and certificate of
occupancy relating to the Leased Premises (ii) a commitment for title insurance
issued by the Title Company together with all instruments referred to in such
commitment, together with a copy of the Seller's existing title policy; (iii) a
copy of all existing surveys of the Leased Premises; (iv) all soil reports,
environmental reports, and engineering reports pertaining to the Leased Premises
in Lessor's possession; (v) copies of all debt instruments, if any, affecting
the Leased Premises; (vi) copies of all tax bills applicable to the Leased
Premises for the immediately preceding three (3) years; and (vii) copies of all
contracts affecting the Leased Premises (including, without limitation,
contracts relating to security, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, etc.) (the
foregoing referred to as the "Required Materials"). Lessee may elect, in its
discretion, to update or re-certify any of Lessor's environmental or other
reports regarding the Leased Premises at the cost of Lessor.

         (c) Within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Election Notice,
Lessor, at Lessor's expense, shall obtain and deliver to Lessee a survey,
(hereinafter called the "Survey") of the Leased Premises to be made by an
engineer or a surveyor acceptable to Lessee and the Title Company prepared in
accordance with the current survey standards adopted by the American Land Title
Association ("ALTA") and the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping
("ACSM"), sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue a Texas (Form T-1)
owner's policy of title insurance (the "Owner's Policy"), and to delete any
standard printed survey exception in the Owner's Policy to be delivered at
closing, and containing such items, features and descriptions as Lessee or the
Title Company shall require (all at Lessor's expense).

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (d) Lessee shall have a period of sixty (60) days after the later to
occur of (i) the delivery of the Election Notice; (ii) receipt of the last of
the Required Materials (such period being referred to as the "Information Review
Period"), within which to review such materials and to undertake an
investigation of the environmental condition of the Leased Premises. If, in the
exercise of Lessee's good faith business judgment, Lessee determines that the
environmental condition of the Leased Premises is not satisfactory, then on or
prior to the expiration of the Information Review Period, Lessee will deliver to
Lessor written notice of such decision (hereinafter called the "Termination
Notice"), and upon the giving of the Termination Notice, this Lease (including
the Purchase Option) shall be deemed terminated, Lessee shall have no further
obligation to purchase the Leased Premises, and the Earnest Money shall be
immediately returned to Lessee.

         (e) The closing of such transaction shall take place on a date
("Closing Date") to be designated by Lessee, which date shall be no later than
ninety (90) days after the delivery by Lessee of the Election Notice. The
closing of this transaction will take place on the Closing Date at the offices
of the Title Company, or such other place as Lessor and Lessee may agree.

         (f) Lessee acknowledges and agrees that there is an existing deed of
trust lien on the Leased Premises as of the date of this Lease, pursuant to that
certain Deed of Trust, for the benefit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Lender") (the
"Prior Mortgage."), which secures the payment of that certain Promissory Note,
dated of even date therewith, from Lessor, as "Maker," made payable to the order
of Lender, as "Payee," in the original principal amount of $250,000.00 (the
"Prior Note"). Lessee agrees that the Prior Mortgage shall remain as an
encumbrance against the Leased Premises, and Lessor shall not be obligated to
discharge or remove the Prior Mortgage as an encumbrance on the Leased Premises
prior to the Closing Date; provided that Lessor has made all payments under the
Prior Note as and when due from and after the commencement of the Lease Term.

         (g) At closing, Lessor shall execute and deliver a special warranty
deed conveying the Leased Premises to Lessee, subject only to: (i) exceptions to
title disclosed by the title commitment issued by the Title Company AND existing
at the commencement of this Lease; (ii) taxes and standby fees for the year of
the closing, and (iii) any restrictions, covenants, easements, mineral
reservations, or other matters of record which Lessee has specifically consented
to in writing, or requested Lessor in writing to create prior to delivery of the
Election Notice (it being agreed that no liens for monetary amounts [other than
the Prior Mortgage] shall be permitted to remain outstanding after such
purchase, and title shall be conveyed free of all such liens).

         (h) At closing, (i) Lessee shall execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to Lessor a certificate or certificates (issued in the
name of Lessor) representing the Shares; and (ii) Lessee shall pay the cash
portion of the Purchase Price by cash, cashier's check, or wire transfer to the
account of the Title Company (in accordance with wiring instructions provided by
the Title Company to Lessee).

         (i) In addition to the above documents, Lessor and Lessee shall also
execute any other documents that may be necessary, required, or reasonably
requested by the other party or by the Title Company to convey the Leased
Premises to Lessee. At closing, the Title Company shall deliver to Lessee, at
Lessor's expense, the Owner's Policy issued by the Title Company in the amount

                                       10
<PAGE>

of the Purchase Price insuring that Lessee owns fee simple title to the Leased
Premises, subject to no exceptions other than the exceptions described herein,
and containing such endorsements and other matters as Lessee shall desire (the
cost of which shall be borne by Lessor). All other costs of closing shall be
payable in accordance with local custom for the closing of similar transactions
in Montgomery County, Texas.

         (j) If, following Lessee's delivery of the Election Notice, the
conveyance of the Leased Premises is not consummated in whole or in part, by
reason of Lessor's default or failure to act, then in addition to its other
rights and remedies available at law or in equity, Lessee shall be entitled to
fulfill Lessor's obligations, or sue Lessor for damages equal to the
expenditures incurred by Lessee (including those incurred to remove any
unauthorized liens or encumbrances) and/or be entitled to enforce specific
performance.

         (k) Lessor shall also execute a subscription agreement for the Shares
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, but which, at a
minimum, shall contain a restatement of the representations and warranties by
Lessor in Section 14.04(l) below

         (l) Lessor hereby makes the following representations and warranties
regarding the Shares:

                           (i) The Shares will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, or under the securities laws of any state (the
"Securities Laws"). The Shares are not being so registered in reliance upon
exemptions from the Securities Act and the Securities Laws which are predicated,
in part, on the representations, warranties and agreements of Lessor contained
herein. Lessor represents and warrants that (i) it has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and the suitability thereof
as an investment for them, (ii) Lessor is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the Shares to be
acquired by Lessor in connection with the sale of the Leased Premises will be
acquired solely for investment and not with a view toward resale or
redistribution in violation of the Securities Laws, (iv) its residence and
domicile is in the State of Texas, and (v) in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, no assurances have been made concerning the future results
of Holdings or as to the value of the Shares. Lessor understands that Holdings
is not under any obligation to file a registration statement or to take any
other action under the securities laws with respect to the Shares.

                           (ii) Lessor has consulted with its own counsel in
regard to the Securities Laws and is fully aware: (i) of the circumstances under
which it is required to hold the Shares, (ii) of the limitations on the transfer
or disposition of the Shares, (iii) that the Shares must be held indefinitely
unless the transfer thereof is registered under the Securities Laws or an
exemption from registration is available, and (iv) that no exemption from
registration is likely to become available for at least one (1) year from the
date of acquisition of the Shares. Lessor has been advised by its counsel as to
the provisions of Rules 144 and 145 as promulgated by the Commission under the
Securities Act and has been advised of the applicable limitations thereof.
Lessor acknowledges that Holdings and Lessee will be relying upon the truth and
accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Lessor herein in
consummating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Option (if it is
exercised and consummated in accordance with the above provisions).

Lessor the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms
and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Option and to
obtain any additional information which they possess or could reasonably acquire
for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of information furnished to Lessor as
set forth herein or for the purpose of considering the transactions contemplated
hereby. Lessor agrees that the certificates representing the Shares will be
imprinted with the following legend, the terms of which are specifically agreed

any monthly installment or other payment under this note is not received by the

holder hereof within 5 calendar days after the installment or payment is due,

                The

whole sum of both principal and interest of this note shall be due and payable

transferred, exchanged, or pledged in any way and any of such events shall be a

default under the terms and conditions of this note.

 

                In

and every part to this note, and all persons now or hereafter liable for the

payment or performance of any of the conditions hereof, shall be bound jointly

of the debt evidenced by this note at the request of any party liable herein,
