     be  credited against the purchase price when and  if  escrow

     pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Agreement.   After   the
     expiration  of the Review Period as defined in  paragraph  6
     below,  the  First  Payment held for the account  of  Seller
     shall  become  non-refundable unless  Seller  shall  default
     hereunder or this agreement is properly cancelled  by  Buyer
     pursuant to the terms hereof.

      (b)  Buyer will pay the balance of purchase price  for  the
Property,  $260,500  in  cash or       good  funds  (the  "Second
Payment"),  at  closing  to  the Escrowee  who  shall  close  the
transaction according to the terms hereof.

5.  CLOSING DATE.  Escrow shall close on or before the  thirtieth
day  after  the  Inspection  and  Feasibility  Study  Period  (as
extended, if applicable) is completed.

6.  DUE  DILIGENCE. Buyer will have until the expiration  of  the
30th  day  after  the  Effective  Date  of  this  Agreement  (the
Inspection and Feasibility Study Period), to conduct all  of  its
inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding  title
to  the  Property, and to inspect the Property  at  Buyer's  sole
expense.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless  for
any loss or damage to the Property or persons caused by Buyer  or
its  agents  arising  out  of such physical  inspections  of  the
Property.  Buyer  expressly acknowledges that  the  sale  of  the
Property as provided for herein is made on an "AS IS" basis,  and
such provision shall survive closing.

      Buyer may cancel this Agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by certified mail,
return  receipt requested, or by personal delivery to Seller  and
escrow  holder  before  the  expiration  of  the  Inspection  and
Feasibility  Study Period. If this Agreement is not  canceled  as
set  forth  herein,  the  First Payment shall  be  non-refundable
unless  Seller  shall  default hereunder  or  this  Agreement  is
properly cancelled by Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section  or Section 16, except for any liabilities under sections
15(a)(iii)  and  16(b)  of this Agreement (which  will  survive),
Buyer (after execution of such documents reasonably requested  by
Seller  to  evidence the termination hereof)  shall  be  promptly
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  Seller  shall  be  in  default  of  any  obligation
hereunder, or 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 have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquished all rights in and to the Property. If this Agreement
is not canceled 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 Buyer and the First Payment
shall  be  deposited  by Buyer with Escrowee.   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.   The  parties
agree  to sign these additional instructions of the Escrowee,  if
any.  If  there is any conflict between these other  instructions
and  this  Agreement, this Agreement will control.  Seller  shall
notify Escrowee upon Seller's acceptance of this Agreement.

8.  TITLE.  Closing  will be conditioned  on  the  commitment  of
Escrowee 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 marketable and insurable fee  simple
title  to  the Property subject only to: the exceptions reflected
in  the  title  commitment reasonably acceptable  to  Buyer  (the
"Permitted   Exceptions"),  current  real  property   taxes   and
assessments; and survey exceptions.  The survey, if  required  by
Buyer  or  Escrowee, shall be ordered and paid for by the  Buyer.
Seller shall have a Title Commitment issued and tendered to Buyer
within  twenty (20) days of the date this Purchase  Agreement  is
delivered to Escrowee.

       Buyer  shall  be  allowed  until  the  expiration  of  the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period" for examination and the
making  of  any  objections to the survey and  to  any  exception
contained in the Title Commitment, said objections to be made  in
writing  or  deemed waived.  If any objections are so  made,  the
Seller  shall  be  allowed  thirty  (30)  days  to  cure  Buyer's
objections,  or  in the alternative to obtain  a  commitment  for
insurable title insuring over Buyer's objections.  If within such
30-day  period  Seller fails to cure Buyer's  objections,  or  is
unable   to   obtain   insurable  title  to  Buyer's   reasonable
satisfaction, Buyer may elect to cancel this Agreement and (after
execution  by  Buyer  of such documents reasonably  requested  by
Seller  to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment
shall  be returned and this agreement shall be null and void  and
of no further force and effect.

      If  Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller  within
the  Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status
of  title, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived  any  such
objections.

9.  CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay the deed stamp taxes, if any,
and  one-half of escrow fees attributable to the closing services
for  this  transaction, and any brokerage commissions payable  to
Commercial Advantage, Inc. only.  Seller shall pay for  the  cost
of  issuing  the  title  commitment and the  cost  of  the  title
insurance premium for an Owner's policy.  Buyer will pay one-half
of the escrow fees, the costs of a new survey or an update to the
Survey  in  Seller's  possession (if an  update  is  required  by
Buyer).   All  other closing costs shall be paid  by  Seller  and
Buyer  in the manner in which such costs are customarily paid  by
such  parties  in  transactions involving real property  in  Lake
County, Indiana.  Each party will pay its own attorneys' fees and
costs to document and close this transaction.

10.  REAL  ESTATE  TAXES,  SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS  AND  PRORATIONS.
Seller  represents  that to the best of its knowledge,  all  real
estate  taxes and assessments due and payable in all years  prior
to  the  year  of Closing have been paid in full.  Responsibility
for  real  estate taxes and special assessments shall be prorated
as  of the date of closing based upon the most recently available
tax  bill and any known increase in the assessed valuation or the
tax  rate. All real estate taxes and special assessments due  and
payable  in the years following the year in which closing  occurs
shall  otherwise be the responsibility of Buyer.  However, Seller
shall remain responsible for the pro-rata share of taxes prior to
closing  and  Buyer assumes the responsibility for  the  pro-rata
share  of  taxes after closing.  Seller and Buyer agree that  the
parties shall, if necessary, re-prorate the taxes when actual tax
bills  for the year of closing are available.  This agreement  to
re-prorate taxes shall survive closing.

17. DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN.

     (a)  If,  prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof

     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $20,000,  this  Agreement shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  period provided for above in this Subparagraph 17a  for
     Buyer  to  elect to terminate this Agreement has expired  or
     Buyer has, by written notice to Seller, waived Buyer's right
     to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer elects to proceed and
     to   consummate   the  purchase  despite  said   damage   or
     destruction, there shall be no reduction in or abatement  of
     the  purchase  price, and Seller shall assign to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right, title, and interest in and to all insurance
     proceeds  resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $20,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in  and  to  all  insurance  proceeds  in  relation  to  the
     Property.

     (b) If, prior to closing, the Property, or any part thereof,
     is  taken  or  notice  of  a taking  is  received  from  any
     condemning authority (other than as disclosed in writing  to
     Buyer  prior  to  the  date of this  Agreement)  by  eminent
     domain,  this  Agreement  shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option.   If  Buyer  elects  to  proceed   and   to
     consummate the purchase despite said taking, there shall  be
     no  reduction in, or abatement of, the purchase  price,  and
     Seller  shall assign to Buyer all the Seller's right, title,
     and interest in and to any award made, or to be made, in the
     condemnation proceeding in relation to the Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided above in Subparagraph 17(a) or 17(b), the First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

                  1851 East Florence Boulevard
                         Casa Grande, AZ

This  AGREEMENT, entered into effective as of the 31 of  October,
2002.

l.   Parties.  Seller  is  AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership ("Seller").  Seller holds an undivided 100%  interest
in  the fee title to that certain real property legally described
in  the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Property").  Buyer is GB  Land
L.L.C.  and/or its assigns ("Buyer"). Seller wishes to  sell  and
Buyer wishes to buy the Property.

2. Property. The Property to be sold to Buyer in this transaction
is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto.

3.  Purchase  Price.  The purchase price  for  this  Property  is
$1,100,000 cash, based on the following terms:

4.  Terms.  The purchase price for the Property will be  paid  by
Buyer as follows:

     (a)  When this agreement is executed, Buyer will pay $10,000
     in cash or good funds (the "First Payment") to Land America,
     Attn: Janice Goodwin, 3636 North Central Avenue, Suite  350,
     Phoenix, AZ 85012 ("Escrowee").  The First Payment  will  be
     credited  against  the purchase price  when  and  if  escrow
     closes  and  the  sale is completed, or otherwise  disbursed
     pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The First  Payment
     held  for  the  account  of Seller shall  be  non-refundable
     unless  Seller  shall  default hereunder  or  if  Seller  is
     unwilling   or   unable  to  cure  any  title,   survey   or
     environmental defects.

      (b)  Buyer will pay the balance of purchase price  for  the
Property,  $1,090,000  in  cash or     good  funds  (the  "Second
Payment"),  at  closing  to  the Escrowee  who  shall  close  the
transaction according to the terms hereof.

5.  Closing Date.  Escrow shall close on or before the  thirtieth
day after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

6.  Due  Diligence. Buyer will have until the expiration  of  the
15th  day  after  the  Effective  Date  of  this  Agreement  (the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period"), to conduct all of its
inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding  title
to  the  Property, and to inspect the Property  at  Buyer's  sole
expense.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless  for
any loss or damage to the Property or persons caused by Buyer  or
its  agents  arising  out  of such physical  inspections  of  the
Property.  Buyer  expressly acknowledges that  the  sale  of  the
Property as provided for herein is made on an "AS IS" basis,  and
such provision shall survive closing.

      Buyer may cancel this Agreement for any reason in its  sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by certified mail,
return  receipt requested, or by personal delivery to Seller  and
escrow  holder  before  the  expiration  of  the  Inspection  and
Feasibility  Study  Period.  The  First  Payment  shall  be  non-
refundable unless contingencies in section 20 have not  been  met
or  Seller  shall default hereunder or if Seller is unwilling  or
unable to cure any title, survey or environmental defects.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section  or  Sections 16 or 17, except for any liabilities  under
sections  15(a)(iii)  and  16(b) of this  Agreement  (which  will
survive), (after execution of such documents reasonably requested
by  Seller  to evidence the termination hereof), 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  Seller  shall  be  in  default  of  any  obligation
hereunder, or 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 have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquished all rights in and to the Property. If this Agreement
is not canceled 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 Buyer and the First Payment
shall  be  deposited  by Buyer with Escrowee.   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.   The  parties
agree  to sign these additional instructions of the Escrowee,  if
any.  If  there is any conflict between these other  instructions
and  this  Agreement, this Agreement will control.  Seller  shall
notify Escrowee upon Seller's acceptance of this Agreement.

8.  Title.  Closing  will be conditioned  on  the  commitment  of
Escrowee 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 marketable and insurable fee  simple
title  to  the Property subject only to: the exceptions reflected
in  the  title  commitment reasonably acceptable  to  Buyer  (the
"Permitted   Exceptions"),  current  real  property   taxes   and
assessments;  and survey exceptions.  Buyer shall  have  a  Title
Commitment  issued and tendered to Buyer, with a copy to  Seller,
within  ten  (10)  days  of the date this Purchase  Agreement  is
delivered to Escrowee.

       Buyer  shall  be  allowed  until  the  expiration  of  the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period" for examination and the
making  of  any  objections to the survey and  to  any  exception
contained in the Title Commitment, said objections to be made  in
writing  or  deemed waived.  If any objections are so  made,  the
Seller  shall  be  allowed  thirty  (30)  days  to  cure  Buyer's
objections,  or  in the alternative to obtain  a  commitment  for
insurable title insuring over Buyer's objections.  If within such
30-day  period  Seller fails to cure Buyer's  objections,  or  is
unable   to   obtain   insurable  title  to  Buyer's   reasonable
satisfaction, Buyer may elect to cancel this Agreement and (after
execution  by  Buyer  of such documents reasonably  requested  by
Seller  to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment
shall  be returned and this agreement shall be null and void  and
of no further force and effect.

      If  Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller  within
the  Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status
of  title, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived  any  such
objections.

9. Closing Costs.  Buyer will pay the transfer taxes, if any, and
all  escrow  fees attributable to the closing services  for  this
transaction.   Buyer  will  pay the cost  of  issuing  the  title
commitment  and  the cost of the title insurance premium  for  an
Owner's  policy.   Buyer will pay the mortgage registration  tax,
the  costs of a new survey or an update to the Survey in Seller's
possession (if an update is required by Buyer).  Buyer  will  pay
broker  commissions, if any.  All other closing  costs  shall  be
paid  by Buyer.  Each party will pay its own attorneys' fees  and
costs to document and close this transaction.

10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.  BUYER
UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE ARE UNPAID REAL ESTATE TAXES AND AGREES TO
ASSUME  FULL  RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT  OF  THOSE  TAXES  OWED.
RESPONSIBILITY  FOR  REAL  ESTATE TAXES AND  SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS
SHALL  NOT BE PRORATED AS OF THE DATE OF CLOSING AS THE BUYER  IS
RESPONSIBLE  FOR  PAYMENT  IN FULL. ALL  REAL  ESTATE  TAXES  AND
SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS DUE AND PAYABLE IN THE YEARS  FOLLOWING  THE
YEAR   IN   WHICH   CLOSING  OCCURS  SHALL   OTHERWISE   BE   THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER.  THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE  THAT
THE  TENANT OF THE PROPERTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT  OF  TAXES
AND THUS NO ACTUAL PRORATION OF FUNDS AT CLOSING SHALL OCCUR.

11. Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)    It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or

     Finance   Division   of   Green  Tree  Financial   Servicing
     Corporation ("Green Tree") and (b.) the Net Lease  Agreement
     effective  March  1,  1989  between  Huntington  Restaurants

     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.

12. Disclosures.

     (a)   Seller  has  been an absentee landlord.  Consequently,
     Seller  has  little,  if  any,  knowledge  of  the  physical
     characteristics of the Property.

     Accordingly, except as otherwise specifically stated in  the
     Agreement,   Seller   hereby  specifically   disclaims   any
     warranty,  guaranty,  or representation,  oral  or  written,
     past,  present, or future of, as to, or concerning  (i)  the
     nature  and  condition of the Property,  including,  without
     limitation,   the   water,  soil,  and  geology,   and   the
     suitability  thereof and of the Property  for  any  and  all
     activities  and  uses  which  Buyer  may  elect  to  conduct
     thereon; (ii) except for the warranty of title contained  in
     the  Deed  to  be  delivered by Seller at the  closing,  the
     nature  and  extent of any right of way, lease,  possession,
     lien,  encumbrance,  license,  reservation,  condition,   or
     otherwise, and (iii) the compliance of the Property  or  its
     operation with any laws, ordinances, or regulations  of  any
     government or other body.

     (b)  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is not relying
     upon  any  representation or warranties made  by  Seller  or
     Seller's Agent except those provided herein.

     (c)   Buyer   acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity to inspect the Property, Buyer is relying solely
     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller or to be provided  except  as
     set  forth  herein.  Buyer expressly acknowledges  that,  in
     consideration of the agreements of the Seller herein, except
     as  otherwise specified herein, Seller makes no Warranty  or
     representation, express or implied, or arising by  operation
     of  law,  including,  but not limited to,  any  warranty  of
     condition,  habitability,  tenantability,  suitability   for
     commercial  purposes,  merchantability,  profitability,   or
     fitness  for  a  particular  purpose,  in  respect  of   the
     Property.

     (d) BUYER AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN
     ITS  THEN PRESENT CONDITION, AS IS, WHERE IS, AND SELLER HAS
     NO  OBLIGATION  TO  CONSTRUCT  OR  REPAIR  ANY  IMPROVEMENTS
     THEREON, OR TO PERFORM ANY OTHER ACT REGARDING THE PROPERTY.
     WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ALSO
     AGREES  THAT  SELLER  WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY  OF  ANY  TYPE,
     DIRECT OR INDIRECT, TO BUYER OR BUYER'S SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS,
     LENDERS  OR  AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION  WITH  ANY  HAZARDOUS,
     TOXIC,   DANGEROUS,   FLAMMABLE,   EXPLOSIVE   OR   CHEMICAL
     SUBSTANCES OF ANY TYPE (WHETHER OR NOT DEFINED AS SUCH UNDER
     ANY  APPLICABLE LAWS) ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE  PROPERTY
     EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.

     (e)   Buyer  acknowledges and agrees that  the  Property  is
     subject  to  that  certain Lease by and between  Seller  and
     Lessee  Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc., dated  March  1,
     1989, as may have been amended in writing from time to time.
     Buyer  understands that the Lessee is in substantial default
     under  the Lease, that said defaults may not be cured  prior
     to  the  date of Closing, that said defaults are  likely  to
     persist  after the date of Closing, and that Seller reserves
     all  rights to pursue Lessee and any Guarantors of the Lease
     for  all  matters of default occurring prior to the date  of
     Closing of the sale to Buyer hereunder.  Furthermore,  Buyer
     understands and agrees that the Lease is subject to a  Right
     of  First  Refusal  in favor of Lessee,  and  that  Seller's

     deliver  to the escrow holder any other documents reasonably

this Agreement.  Provided, however, that in no event shall Seller
be  liable for any consequential, punitive or speculative damages
arising out of any default by Seller hereunder.

15. Buyer's Representations and Warranties.

     (ii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge,  neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order  of  any  court or other agency of  government  having
     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

     (iii)   Buyer  agrees to indemnify and hold Seller  harmless
     from any and all claim of any persons or entities claiming a
     brokerage  or  other  fee arising out of  representation  of
     Buyer.

16. Property Inspection and Environmental.

     (a)  Seller shall provide Buyer access to the Property  from
     time  to  time  for  the  purpose of conducting  inspections
     thereof  including  mechanical, structural,  electrical  and
     other  physical inspections. Buyer has until the end of  the

     physical inspections.

     (b)  Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller
     from  and  against  any and all losses,  claims,  causes  of
     action, liabilities, and costs to the extent caused  by  the

     invitees,  during  any  such entry upon  the  Property.  The
     foregoing duty of indemnification shall include the duty  to

     Buyer  terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration  of
     the  Inspection  and  Feasibility Study Period,  Buyer  will
     provide  Seller with copies of all reports and test  results
     Buyer had performed on the Property.

17. Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)  If,  prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $20,000,  this  Agreement shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  period provided for above in this Subparagraph 17a  for
     Buyer  to  elect to terminate this Agreement has expired  or
     Buyer has, by written notice to Seller, waived Buyer's right
     to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer elects to proceed and
     to   consummate   the  purchase  despite  said   damage   or
     destruction, there shall be no reduction in or abatement  of
     the  purchase  price, and Seller shall assign to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right, title, and interest in and to all insurance
     proceeds  resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $20,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in  and  to  all  insurance  proceeds  in  relation  to  the
     Property.

     (b) If, prior to closing, the Property, or any part thereof,
     is  taken  or  notice  of  a taking  is  received  from  any
     condemning authority (other than as disclosed in writing  to
     Buyer  prior  to  the  date of this  Agreement)  by  eminent
     domain,  this  Agreement  shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option.   If  Buyer  elects  to  proceed   and   to
     consummate the purchase despite said taking, there shall  be
     no  reduction in, or abatement of, the purchase  price,  and
     Seller  shall assign to Buyer all the Seller's right, title,
     and interest in and to any award made, or to be made, in the
     condemnation proceeding in relation to the Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided above in Subparagraph 17(a) or 17(b), the First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

18.  Seller's and Buyer's Brokers.  The Seller is not represented
by  a  broker  in  this  transaction.   Any  real  estate  broker
commission earned by a broker enlisted by the Buyer is to be paid
solely by the Buyer.  Both parties represent and warrant that  no
other broker has been involved on behalf of the warranting party,
and  both  parties agree to indemnify the other and hold harmless
from any claim through or on behalf of such other party.

19.  Cancellation  If either party elects to cancel this Contract
because  of any breach by the other party, the party electing  to
cancel shall deliver to the defaulting party and the escrow agent
a  notice stating that this Contract shall be canceled unless the
breach  is  cured  within 5 days following the  delivery  of  the
notice  to  the  defaulting party.  If the breach  is  not  cured
within  the  5 days following the delivery of the notice  to  the
defaulting party, this Contract shall be canceled.

20.   Contingencies  This agreement is subject to  the  following
contingencies:

      (a)  Subject to Buyers ability to obtain a one million  one
      hundred thousand dollar ($1,100,000) loan from Textron

     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or
     against  a party whether or not that party has drafted  this

     parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will
     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is

     parties  about the Property and the other matters described,
