                           PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

     THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the  "AGREEMENT")  is made as of the 30th
day of August,  2004 (the "EXECUTION DATE"), by and between SCOTTSDALE  THOMPSON
PEAK,  LLC,  an Arizona  limited  liability  company  ("SELLER"),  and  HOLUALOA
ARIZONA, INC., an Arizona corporation ("PURCHASER").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS,  Seller  is the owner of that  certain  Property  (as  hereinafter
defined) located at 20225 North Scottsdale  Road,  Scottsdale,  Maricopa County,
Arizona; and

     WHEREAS,  Seller  desires to sell and  Purchaser  desires to  purchase  the
Property upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

     1.   SALE OF PROPERTY.  Seller  agrees to sell to Purchaser  and  Purchaser
agrees to purchase from Seller the following (collectively, the "PROPERTY"):

               1.1  OFFICE  PROJECT.  The office project (the "PROJECT") as more
          particularly  described  on EXHIBIT A  attached  hereto,  which  shall
          include  the Real  Property,  Tenant  Lease,  Contracts,  Permits  and
          Warranties  (as each such term is defined  herein) with respect to the
          Project.

               1.2  REAL  PROPERTY.   That  parcel  of  land  more  particularly
          described on EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the "Land"), together with (i)
          all building  structures  located on the Land and all improvements and
          fixtures  owned  by  Seller  located  on the Land  (collectively,  the
          "IMPROVEMENTS"),  and  (ii) all  rights,  privileges,  servitudes  and
          appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining  (collectively,  the
          "REAL PROPERTY").

               1.3  TENANT LEASE. All right,  title and interest of the landlord
          under the Bondable Net Lease Agreement for the Project,  together with
          all amendments or modifications  thereto and guaranties thereof listed
          on EXHIBIT C attached  hereto,  subject to SECTIONS 6.6 AND 6.7 hereof
          (the "TENANT LEASE").

               1.4  CONTRACTS. All right, title and interest of Seller in and to
          all  service and  maintenance  contracts,  equipment  leases and other
          contracts, if any, related to the Project (the "CONTRACTS").

               1.5  PERMITS.  Seller's  interests  in  the  licenses,   permits,
          certificates   of  occupancy  and  franchises  for  the  Project  (the
          "PERMITS"), to the extent such Permits are assignable.

               1.6  WARRANTIES.  A nonexclusive assignment of Seller's interests
          in all  unexpired  warranties  and  guaranties  given by third parties
          unaffiliated  with  Seller to,  assigned to or  benefiting  Seller and
          relating to the Real Property regarding the acquisition, construction,



          design, use, operation, management or maintenance of the Real Property
          or Personal Property (the "WARRANTIES"), to the extent such Warranties
          are assignable.

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE.  Purchaser shall pay to Seller,  as consideration  for
the  purchase  of the  Property,  the sum of  Thirty-One  Million  Four  Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($31,400,000.00) (the "PURCHASE PRICE"), payable as follows:

          2.1  DEPOSIT.  Within two (2)  business  days after full  execution of
     this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver by cashier's check or wire transfer
     to Stewart  Title & Trust of Phoenix,  Inc.,  6263 North  Scottsdale  Road,
     Suite 125, Scottsdale, Arizona 85250, Attn: Lynne Russell ("ESCROW AGENT"),
     the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), of which the amount
     of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "HARD DEPOSIT") shall be
     absolutely  nonrefundable  for any reason,  except in the event of Seller's
     default under this Agreement,  and immediately released to Seller (with the
     remaining  balance of $400,000.00,  together with and including all accrued
     interest  thereon,  being  hereinafter  referred to as the "DEPOSIT").  The
     Escrow Agent is directed to hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account
     with a commercial  bank located in Phoenix,  Arizona.  The Deposit and Hard
     Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at the Closing.

          2.2  LOAN ASSUMPTION.  Concurrently with the Closing,  Purchaser shall
     assume  and agree to pay the  unpaid  principal  balance  of  approximately
     Nineteen Million Two Hundred Sixteen  Thousand Nine Hundred  Fifty-Nine and
     93/100 Dollars ($19,216,959.93) of the Allianz Loan (as hereinafter defined
     in SECTION 5.1). Any difference  between such approximate  unpaid principal
     balance and the actual unpaid principal  balance of the Allianz Loan due as
     of the Closing  shall be  reflected  in the balance of the  Purchase  Price
     payable pursuant to SECTION 2.3 below.

          2.3  BALANCE.  The  balance  of the  Purchase  Price,  plus  or  minus
     prorations  and other  adjustments as provided in this  Agreement,  if any,
     shall be due at Closing and shall be paid by wire  transfer of  immediately
     available  funds paid to Escrow Agent by 11:00 a.m. on the Closing Date (as
     hereinafter defined).

     3.   INVESTIGATION.

          3.1  INVESTIGATION   PERIOD.   Seller  acknowledges  that,  to  enable
     Purchaser to proceed with this  transaction,  Purchaser  will  undertake or
     cause to have  undertaken  certain  tests and  studies,  including  but not
     limited to engineering and  environmental  studies and such other tests and
     studies  that   Purchaser,   in  its  sole   discretion,   deems  necessary
     (hereinafter  collectively  referred to as "TESTS AND  STUDIES"),  so as to
     determine  whether,  in Purchaser's sole discretion,  it would be feasible,
     economically or otherwise,  to go forward with  Purchaser's  acquisition of
     the  Property.  Purchaser  shall  have  from  the  Execution  Date  of this
     Agreement  until 5:00 p.m.,  M.S.T.,  on September  10, 2004  (herein,  the
     "INVESTIGATION  PERIOD")  in  which to  determine  the  feasibility  of its
     acquisition  of the  Property.  If for any  reason  whatsoever  during  the
     Investigation Period Purchaser determines,  in Purchaser's sole discretion,
     that the Property is not feasible for Purchaser's purposes,  then Purchaser
     shall  have  the  right  to  terminate  this  Agreement  on or  before  the
     expiration of the Investigation Period, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return


                                       2


     the Deposit to Purchaser  immediately  thereafter,  and neither party shall
     thereafter  have  any  further  obligations  or  liabilities  to the  other
     hereunder,   except  for  those  matters  which  specifically  survive  the
     expiration or termination of this Agreement. A failure to notify Seller and
     Escrow Agent in writing on or before the  expiration  of the  Investigation
     Period that  Purchaser  has waived its right to  terminate  this  Agreement
     pursuant  to this  SECTION  3.1 shall be  deemed  as notice to Seller  that
     Purchaser has determined  that the Property is not feasible for Purchaser's
     purposes and the contingency  contained in this SECTION 3.1 shall be deemed
     not satisfied as of such date.

          3.2  PURCHASER'S  INVESTIGATIVE  RIGHTS.  Purchaser  and  its  agents,
     contractors or employees shall have the right to enter upon the Property at
     all  reasonable  times for the purpose of performing its Tests and Studies,
     provided such  activities  shall not damage the Property or interfere  with
     the rights of the tenant ("TENANT") under the Tenant Lease. Purchaser shall
     give Seller and the Tenant reasonable prior written notice before Purchaser
     enters  upon the  Property  and,  with  respect to any  invasive  Tests and
     Studies at the Property,  Purchaser shall obtain the prior written approval
     of Seller thereto prior to conducting any invasive Tests and Studies, which
     approval  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned  or  delayed.
     Purchaser  shall restore the Property to its condition  prior to such Tests
     and Studies;  provided,  however,  that  Purchaser's  restoration  shall be
     limited  to the damage or other  change to the  condition  of the  Property
     caused  by  Purchaser  or  its  agents,  contractors,  employees  or  other
     representatives  in  connection  with such Tests and Studies.  Purchaser in
     conducting  such Tests and Studies shall not disrupt the ordinary course of
     business of the Tenant at the Property.  Purchaser  shall keep the Property
     free of all liens in connection  with its Tests and Studies of the Property
     and shall  cause all such  liens to be removed  immediately  upon its being
     notified  of same.  Purchaser  shall  indemnify,  defend,  protect and hold
     harmless  Seller  against any  liabilities,  claims and damages,  including
     without  limitation  any Tenant claims and any property  damage or personal
     injury or claim of lien against the Property,  resulting  from  Purchaser's
     Tests and Studies  (including,  without limitation,  reasonable  attorneys'
     fees and expenses paid or incurred by Seller during litigation, if any, and
     the costs of enforcing this  indemnity),  which indemnity shall survive the
     Closing or the  expiration,  cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
     Purchaser  shall cause any  consultants  retained by Purchaser that will be
     conducting  invasive  Test and  Studies  to name  Seller  as an  additional
     insured on their  policies of liability  insurance  with minimum limits and
     coverages as may be reasonably approved by Seller. Purchaser shall promptly
     deliver to Seller  copies of any Tests and Studies  undertaken by Purchaser
     (excluding  Purchaser's  internal  analyses,   reports  and  communications
     concerning   such  Tests  and  Studies   conducted   by  Purchaser  or  its
     affiliates),  including,  without limitation,  any environmental assessment
     prepared  with respect to the  Property,  in the event the Closing does not
     occur and such failure to close is not by reason of Seller's  default under
     this  Agreement.  In addition to the rights granted to Purchaser under this
     SECTION 3.2, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's  option,  undertake to interview
     the Tenant during the Investigation Period;  provided,  that such interview
     shall  be  upon   reasonable   prior  written  notice  to  Seller,   and  a
     representative of Seller may be present during such interview.

          3.3  INVESTIGATION  MATERIALS.  Seller has furnished to Purchaser,  to
     the extent  applicable  to the Property and in the  possession of Seller of
     Seller's  Affiliates  (as  defined in  SECTION  9.2  below),  copies of the
     Contracts, the Tenant Lease and all written correspondence with the Tenant,


                                       3


     the Permits, the Warranties,  a list of the Personal Property,  the Allianz
     Loan documents,  as-built plans and  specifications,  the design documents,
     reference  documents  and final  plans  and  specifications  referenced  in
     Exhibits "B-2", "B-3" and "B-4" to the Tenant Lease, environmental studies,
     engineering  reports,  topographic maps, copies of real estate and personal
     property statements and statements of special assessments during the period
     of Seller's ownership, copies of all written notices of violations, if any,
     of any applicable laws, including,  without limitation,  the Americans With
     Disabilities Act and zoning and  environmental  laws, the occupancy permit,
     Seller's  financial  cash  statements  for the  Property  during the entire
     period of  Seller's  ownership  of the  Property,  insurance  policies  and
     claims,  contractor bids for any proposed  capital  expenditures,  roof and
     mechanical  inspections,  and  other  relevant  documents  relating  to the
     Property  (the  "INVESTIGATION  MATERIALS").  Purchaser  shall use all such
     Investigation Materials solely for Purchaser's evaluation and investigation
     of the Property.  Purchaser  acknowledges that any financial  statements of
     the Tenant in  Seller's  possession  will be made  available  for review by
     Purchaser  only at  Seller's  office;  however,  copies  of such  financial
     statements  will be  provided  to  Purchaser  after the  expiration  of the
     Investigation  Period if Purchaser has not then  terminated this Agreement.
     If Purchaser  should terminate this Agreement or otherwise not close on the
     purchase  of  the  Property  hereunder  for  any  reason,  Purchaser  shall
     immediately  return all such  Investigation  Materials,  together  with all
     copies hereof, to Seller,  and shall otherwise  discontinue any use of such
     Investigation Materials.

     4.   TITLE REQUIREMENTS, SURVEY AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS.

          4.1  TITLE  EVIDENCE.  Seller has  furnished  to Purchaser an extended
     coverage owner's Commitment for Title Insurance,  No. 04100124,  dated July
     29, 2004 (the "TITLE COMMITMENT") covering the Real Property (together with
     legible copies of the exception  documents  referenced  therein)  issued by
     Stewart Title Guaranty Company (the "TITLE INSURER"), pursuant to which the
     Title Insurer will issue to Purchaser,  upon the Closing of the purchase of
     the Property,  an extended  coverage owner's title insurance policy for the
     Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, which policy shall include at
     Purchaser's  expense  an  owner's  comprehensive  endorsement  and a survey
     endorsement with respect to the Survey (the "TITLE POLICY").  Excluding the
     Allianz Loan,  Seller shall caused to be released in full, on or before the
     Closing,  any  monetary  liens  created  by Seller  against  the  Property;
     provided, however, that Seller at its cost may obtain an endorsement to the
     Title  Policy  to  provide  coverage  to be  issued  to  Purchaser  for any
     mechanic's or  materialmen's  liens caused by Seller  against the Property,
     but only if the  existence of such  mechanic's or  materialmen's  liens are
     acceptable to the Lender, do not violate the terms of the Tenant Lease, and
     such  endorsement  covers  costs of defense  and is  otherwise  in form and
     substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

          4.2  SURVEY.  Seller  and  Purchaser  each  has  received  an  updated
     ALTA/ACSM  land  title  survey  of the  Property  certified  by  Gilbertson
     Associates,  Inc.,  dated August 17, 2004, Job No. 1026001 (the  "SURVEY").
     The  Survey  names or shall  be  revised  to name  Seller,  Purchaser,  its
     permitted  assigns  hereunder,  the  Title  Insurer  and the  holder of the
     Allianz  Loan  ("LENDER")  as  certified  parties,  and shall  otherwise be
     sufficient  to meet the Title  Insurer's  requirements  for issuance of the
     Title Policy and any  requirements  that Lender may have in connection with


                                       4


     its approval of the Loan  assumption.  Seller solely shall be obligated for
     the cost of the updated Survey.

          4.3  TITLE AND SURVEY  OBJECTIONS.  On or before the expiration of the
     Investigation  Period,  Purchaser  may give Seller and Escrow Agent written
     objections  ("OBJECTIONS")  to the contents of the Title  Commitment or the
     Survey.  Purchaser's  failure to make objections within such  Investigation
     Period shall constitute Purchaser's waiver of Objections.  Any matter shown
     on the  Title  Commitment  or on the  Survey  which is not  objected  to by
     Purchaser  (and in any  event  the  Allianz  Loan)  shall  be a  "PERMITTED
     EXCEPTION"  hereunder.  Seller will have five (5) days after its receipt of
     the Objections to attempt to cure the Objections. If Seller is unwilling or
     unable to cure the  Objections  within the period of time  specified in the
     preceding  sentence,  Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to elect only one of
     the following by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and the Escrow
     Agent within ten (10) days after Seller's receipt of the Objections:

               (a)  Terminate  this  Agreement  and  receive  a  refund  of  the
          Deposit, in which event neither party shall have any further rights or
          obligations  hereunder  except for those  matters  which  specifically
          survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement; or

               (b)  Waive the Objections  (whereupon such previously objected to
          item  shall  thereafter  be  deemed  to  be  an  additional  Permitted
          Exception  hereunder)  and  proceed to close on the  Property  subject
          thereto.  If Purchaser  does not timely make the required  election in
          writing,  then  Purchaser  shall be deemed  to have made the  election
          provided in this SECTION 4.3(B).

     5.   CONDITIONS  PRECEDENT  TO  CLOSING.  Closing  of the  purchase  of the
Property  hereunder shall be and hereby is conditioned upon satisfaction of each
of the following conditions (collectively, the "CONDITIONS PRECEDENT"):

          5.1  ALLIANZ LOAN.  Concurrently  with the Closing,  Purchaser (or its
     permitted assign hereunder) shall assume,  and Seller and JDMD Investments,
     L.L.C., an Arizona limited  liability  company as guarantor  ("GUARANTOR"),
     shall be  released  from,  all  unaccrued  obligations  and  payments  then

          Seller in Seller's  collection  efforts.  If Seller  recovers any such
          delinquent Rents, the same shall be distributed in the following order
          of priority:  (i) to Seller for  delinquent  Rents due or accrued from
          the  Tenant  prior to the  Proration  Date,  then (ii) the  balance to

     Seller and  Purchaser  acknowledged  that,  pursuant  to the  Allianz  Loan
     documents,  all rental  payments due under the Tenant Lease are required to
     be made directly to the Lender, subject to agreed-upon disbursements as set
     forth in the Allianz Loan documents.

          6.6  TENANT REIMBURSEMENTS. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree
     that,  pursuant  to the Tenant  Lease and the  separate  agreement  between
     Original  Landlord  and  Tenant  referenced  in  Section  4 of  the  Second
     Amendment  to Bondable Net Lease  Agreement,  the Tenant may be required to

     Lease ("ORIGINAL LANDLORD") for certain costs incurred by Original Landlord
     in the  completion  of  the  Improvements  being  constructed  by  Original
     Landlord  for  such  Tenant,   including  without  limitation  those  items
     described  in the  next-to-last  paragraph  of SECTION 2 of the Work Letter
     attached as Exhibit  "B-1" to the Tenant  Lease,  and the Tenant may owe to
     Original  Landlord  other sums that have accrued prior to the Closing Date.
     All such sums shall remain the exclusive  property of Original Landlord and
     shall not be deemed to have been  conveyed to Purchaser  hereunder.  Seller
     and Purchaser also acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to the Purchase and
     Sale Agreement dated July 17, 2002, between Original  Landlord,  as seller,
     and Stratford American Corporation, as purchaser, the Original Landlord has
     the right to proceed against the Tenant for collection of any such amounts,
     which proceedings may include instituting  litigation for damages,  but not
     eviction from or dispossession  of the leased  premises.  The provisions of
     this SECTION 6.6 shall survive the Closing.

          6.7  WORK LETTER OBLIGATIONS.  Seller and Purchaser  acknowledge that,
     pursuant  to Article  II and the first  paragraph  of Exhibit  "B-1" of the
     Tenant  Lease,  all  warranties,  rights and  obligations  of the  Original
     Landlord  under the Tenant Lease that are set forth in Exhibit "B-1" to the
     Tenant Lease  remain the personal  warranties,  rights and  obligations  of
     Original  Landlord  and do  not  transfer  to  Purchaser  as the  successor
     landlord under the Tenant Lease.

          6.8  LICENSE.  Seller  and  Purchaser  acknowledge  that the  Original
     Landlord has an  irrevocable  license to enter the Property for its and its
     affiliates'  employees,  contractors,  materialmen and laborers to exercise
     all rights and perform all  obligations of the landlord under Exhibit "B-1"


                                       10


     to the Tenant Lease,  including  without  limitation  the completion of the
     Landlord's  Improvements  (as defined in the Tenant Lease).  Each of Seller
     and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Original Landlord to allow it
     to exercise its rights and perform its  obligations  under Exhibit "B-1" to
     the Tenant  Lease.  The  provisions  of this SECTION 6.8 shall  survive the
     Closing.

     7.   DAMAGE. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any material part of the
Property is substantially  damaged by fire, casualty,  the elements or any other
cause,  Seller  shall  immediately  give notice to Purchaser of such fact and at
Purchaser's option (to be exercised by Purchaser giving notice thereof to Seller
and Escrow  Agent prior to the earlier of the Closing  Date or fifteen (15) days
after Seller's notice to Purchaser),  this Agreement shall  terminate,  in which
event  neither  party will have any further  obligations  under this  Agreement,
except for those  obligations  which  expressly  survive the termination of this
Agreement, and the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to
timely terminate despite such substantial  damage, or if the Property is damaged
but not  substantially,  there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price,  and
Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to the proceeds of all insurance  related to such damage (except
that Seller shall not assign,  and Seller shall retain, the proceeds of any rent
loss  insurance  relating to the period  prior to Closing)  along with  Seller's
payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to any insurance  deductibles related to
such damage.  For purposes of this Section,  the words  "substantially  damaged"
mean  damage  that  would  cost Five  Hundred  Thousand  and  No/100ths  Dollars
($500,000.00) or more to repair.  During the pendency of this Agreement,  Seller
shall  maintain  casualty  insurance  on the  Property  in  accordance  with the
requirements of the Allianz Loan and so as to not require co-insurance,  subject
only to any permitted deductible.

     8.   CONDEMNATION.   If,  prior  to  the  Closing  Date,   eminent   domain
proceedings are commenced against all or any part of the Property,  Seller shall
immediately give notice to Purchaser of such fact and at Purchaser's  option (to
be exercised by Purchaser giving notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent prior
to the earlier of the Closing Date or fifteen (15) days after Seller's notice to
Purchaser),  this Agreement shall  terminate,  in which event neither party will
have further  obligations  under this  Agreement,  except for those  obligations
which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Deposit shall
be refunded to Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to timely  terminate  despite such
eminent domain  proceedings,  there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price,
and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller's right, title
and  interest  in and to any  award  made or to be made  in the  eminent  domain
proceedings.  Except as expressly  set forth in SECTION 7 or this SECTION 8, the
risk of loss or  damage to the  Property  until  the  Closing  shall be borne by
Seller.

          Compensation and Liability Act (as amended by the Superfund Amendments
          and  Reauthorization  Act of 1986), or any other  applicable  Federal,
          state   or   local   environmental   protection   law  or   regulation
          (collectively,  "Hazardous  Materials").  To  Seller's  knowledge  and
          except  as  may  be  disclosed  in any  environmental  assessment  (i)
          delivered to Purchaser as part of the Investigation  Materials or (ii)
          received by Purchaser  during the  Investigation  Period,  there is no
          governmental  proceeding  or inquiry  by any  authority  with  respect
          thereto,  and Seller has not  received  any  written  notice  from any
          governmental   authority  of  any  violation  of  the  above-mentioned
          statutes,  laws, rules or regulations,  and there exist no underground
          or  above-ground  storage  tanks,  asbestos or PCBs on the Property in
          violation of applicable statutes, laws, rules or regulations.

               (g)  Except for the Tenant Lease, there will be no other existing
          leases and/or  tenancies  affecting all or any portion of the Property
          as of the  Closing  Date.  Seller  has  paid all  municipal  privilege


                                       12


          license (sales) taxes and county transactional  privilege taxes due by
          reason of the rental income received by Seller under the Tenant Lease.
          Subject to the Allianz Loan and to the provisions of Sections 6.6, 6.7
          and 6.8 hereinabove, Seller holds all right, title and interest of the
          Landlord under the Tenant Lease.

               (h)  The Investigation  Materials delivered to Purchaser are true
          and complete copies of the  Investigation  Materials in the possession
          of Seller or Seller's Affiliates.

               (i)  Seller has not received notice from any governmental  agency
          or official, whether federal, state or local, that the Property or any
          operations conducted thereon,  whether currently or in the past, is or
          was in violation of any law, rule, ordinance or regulations.

               Whenever any  representation  or  warranty of Seller is stated in
          this  Agreement to be "to  Seller's  knowledge",  "to Seller's  actual
          knowledge"  or "to the best of Seller's  knowledge",  such words shall
          mean and be  strictly  limited  and  confined  to the  actual  present
          knowledge, without any obligation of inquiry or investigation,  of Mel
          L. Shultz and David Eaton.  Notwithstanding  anything to the herein to
          the  contrary,  Mr.  Shultz and Mr.  Eaton shall not have any personal
          liability  or  liability  whatsoever  with  respect to any matters set
          forth in this Agreement or Seller's  representations and/or warranties
          herein  being or becoming  untrue,  inaccurate  or  incomplete  in any
          respect.  Seller's  representations and warranties as contained herein
          shall  survive the Closing Date for a period of eighteen  (18) months,
          but not  thereafter,  it being the  intention  of the parties that all
          suits or actions for breach of any such  representations or warranties
          herein,  and any action for indemnity  against  liabilities  resulting
          from any such  breach,  must  identify  any  such  representations  or
          warranties  breached,  and must be brought within such one-year period
          or they shall be forever barred; provided,  however, Seller shall have
          no liability  whatsoever to Purchaser  with respect to a breach of any
          of the  representations  and warranties  herein contained if Purchaser
          obtains actual  knowledge of a fact or  circumstance  the existence of
          which  would  constitute  a breach  of  Seller's  representations  and
          warranties  hereunder  prior to the Closing  Date.  In such event,  if
          Purchaser  proceeds  to  Closing,  without  exercising  the  right  of
          termination set forth above, each  representation or warranty shall be
          deemed  automatically  amended to conform with the actual knowledge of
          Purchaser as of the Closing  Date,  and Seller shall have no liability
          whatsoever for such previously inaccurate  representation or warranty.
          The  representations  and warranties  herein contained shall be deemed
          automatically modified to the extent information contained in Tenant's
          estoppel  certificate  delivered to Purchaser prior to Closing,  or in
          the Title Commitment or the exception documents referenced therein, in
          the Survey, or in any environmental  assessment  received by Purchaser
          during  the  Investigation  Period is  inconsistent  with the  matters
          covered  herein.  To the  extent  that  Seller's  representations  and
          warranties  herein  contained are breached or become  inaccurate after
          the  Execution  Date by events or  circumstances  caused by persons or
          parties  other than  Seller or  Seller's  Affiliates,  such  breach or
          inaccurate  representations  and  warranties  shall  continue  to be a
          Condition  Precedent in accordance with SECTION 5.5 above,  but Seller


                                       13


          shall have no liability  whatsoever  for such  breached or  inaccurate
          representations or warranties.

          9.2  "AS IS" SALE.  Except as  expressly  provided in this  Agreement,
     Purchaser  acknowledges  that  neither  Seller,  nor any  member,  manager,
     employee,  agent,  representative  or  affiliate  of Seller  (collectively,
     "SELLER'S AFFILIATES"),  has made any statement,  representation or promise
     (whether  oral  or  in  writing)  regarding  the  subject  matter  of  this
     transaction or the Property,  including without limitation any statement or
     representation as to the physical nature or condition of the Property, soil
     and  subsoil   conditions,   environmental   conditions,   surface   water,
     underground water, the Property's  feasibility for any particular  purpose,
     the Property's zoning,  development,  use, potential use or operation,  the
     value of the Property,  compliance  of the Property or its  operation  with
     law, or any other  matter or thing  affecting or related to the Property or
     any  use,   development,   enjoyment   or  operation   thereof.   Purchaser
     acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser will conduct its own  investigations
     and studies of the  Property  and all aspects  thereof,  including  without
     limitation  the   Property's   characteristics,   its  physical   condition
     (including any defects therein), all legal requirements applicable thereto,
     the operation and use thereof, the environmental  condition of the Property
     and all matters  described  in the  preceding  sentence;  if for any reason
     whatsoever   Purchaser  is  precluded  by  Seller  from   conducting   such
     investigations  and  studies,  Purchaser  shall be required to give written
     notice  thereof  to Seller  prior to the  expiration  of the  Investigation
     Period. Purchaser, by its approval of its review of the Property during the
     Investigation  Period  and  by  its  payment  of  the  Purchase  Price  and
     acquisition of the Property,  acknowledges  that Purchaser has approved all
     such  investigations  and studies and the Property and all aspects thereof,
     including  all  items  described  in the  preceding  sentences.  Except  as
     expressly  provided in SECTION  9.1,  Purchaser  agrees that  Purchaser  is
     acquiring the Property in its present  condition  and state of repair,  "AS
     IS, WHERE IS", with all defects, faults and liabilities,  patent or latent.
     Except as expressly  provided in SECTION 9.1, by so acquiring the Property,
     (i) Purchaser  unconditionally releases Seller and Seller's Affiliates from
     all contract and/or tort claims,  liabilities,  actions, costs and expenses
     of  any  kind  or  nature  whatsoever,   known  or  unknown,  suspected  or
     unsuspected,  fixed  or  contingent,  which  it now or  hereafter  may have
     arising out of or relating to the Property,  the physical  condition of the
     Property,  any governmental law or regulation (including without limitation
     the Comprehensive Environmental Response,  Compensation, and Liability Act,
     the  Americans  With  Disabilities  Act  and  other  environmental  laws  )
     applicable  to the Property and the  presence of any  hazardous  substances
     and/or hazardous materials on, in or about the Property, and (ii) Purchaser
     agrees that no patent or latent condition affecting the Property in any way
     (including,  without  limitation,  the presence or effects of any hazardous
     substances  and/or hazardous  materials or any violations of applicable law
     on  the  Property),  whether  or  not  known  or  discovered  or  hereafter
     discovered,  shall give rise to any right of damages, specific performance,
     rescission or other claims by Purchaser against Seller.  Except as provided
     for in SECTION 9.1, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller is
     making absolutely no representation or warranty  whatsoever with respect to
     any of the Investigation  Materials  referenced in SECTION 3.3 above or any
     other information  provided by Seller, and that Purchaser shall be required
     to verify the accuracy and details of all such  Investigation  Materials or
     other  information  so  provided by Seller to  Purchaser  in such manner as
     Purchaser deems  appropriate.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained in this


                                       14


     Agreement  to  the  contrary,  Purchaser  does  not  release  or  agree  to
     indemnify,  defend,  or hold harmless  Seller from its fraud or intentional
     misrepresentations.

          9.3  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER.  Purchaser  hereby
     represents  and warrants to Seller that the  following are true and correct
     as of the  Execution  Date of  this  Agreement  and,  subject  to the  last
     paragraph of this SECTION 9.3,  shall be true and correct as of the Closing
     Date:

               (a)  Purchaser is an Arizona corporation duly incorporated and in
          good standing under the laws of the State of Arizona and is authorized
          to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (b)  The  execution  of  this  Agreement  and all  documents  and
          instruments  executed  pursuant to this  Agreement by  Purchaser,  the
          delivery  thereof to Seller,  Purchaser's  performance  hereof and the
          transactions  contemplated  hereby  have been duly  authorized  by all
          requisite  action on the part of Purchaser and do not conflict with or
          result in a violation of any judgment, order or decree of any court or
          proceeding  to which  Purchaser is a party and all such  documents are
          valid and binding  obligations  of Purchaser  and are  enforceable  in
          accordance with their terms.

Purchaser's representations and warranties as contained herein shall survive the
Closing Date for a period of eighteen (18) months, but not thereafter,  it being
the  intention  of the parties  that all suits or actions for breach of any such
representations  or  warranties  herein,  and any action for  indemnity  against
liabilities  resulting from any such breach, must identify with specificity such
breach and must be brought within such one-year  period or they shall be forever
barred;  provided,  however,  Purchaser  shall have no liability  whatsoever  to
Seller with  respect to a breach of any of the  representations  and  warranties
herein  contained  if Seller  obtains  knowledge of a fact or  circumstance  the
existence of which would constitute a breach of Purchaser's  representations and
warranties  hereunder  prior to the  Closing  Date.  In such  event,  if  Seller
proceeds to  Closing,  without  exercising  the right of  termination  set forth
above, each representation or warranty shall be deemed automatically  amended to
conform with the knowledge of Seller as of the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall
have no liability  whatsoever for such previously  inaccurate  representation or
warranty.  Whenever this  Agreement  refers to the knowledge of Purchaser,  such
words shall mean and be  strictly  limited  and  confined to the actual  present
knowledge, without any obligation of inquiry or investigation,  of Aroon Chinai,
Vice  President of  Purchaser,  and I. Michael  Kasser,  President of Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Mr. Chinai and Mr. Kasser shall
not have any  personal  liability or  liability  whatsoever  with respect to any
matters  set  forth in this  Agreement  or  Purchaser's  representations  and/or
warranties  herein being or becoming  untrue,  inaccurate  or  incomplete in any
respect.

     10.  DEFAULT.

          10.1 DEFAULT BY SELLER.  If Seller  fails to perform  any of  Seller's
     covenants under this Agreement,  or if Seller otherwise defaults hereunder,
     Purchaser  shall  have  the  right  of  specific  performance  of  Seller's
     obligations to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement,  or Purchaser,  at its
     option,  may elect to terminate this Agreement,  in which event the Deposit


                                       15


     and Hard  Deposit  shall be returned to  Purchaser  on written  demand [AND
     SELLER SHALL REIMBURSE PURCHASER FOR ALL OF PURCHASER'S OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS
     INCURRED TO THIRD PARTIES IN PURSUING THIS TRANSACTION;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
     SUCH   REIMBURSEMENT   SHALL  NOT  EXCEED   $125,000.]   Purchaser   hereby
     acknowledges  and  agrees  with  Seller  that the  terms  of the  preceding
     sentence  shall  constitute  Purchaser's  sole  and  exclusive  rights  and
     remedies in the event of a breach or default  hereunder  by Seller prior to
     Closing,  and Purchaser hereby  irrevocably waives and relinquishes any and
     all  other  rights,  in  equity or at law,  which it might  otherwise  have
     against  Seller,  including,  but not  limited  to, any action for  damages
     against  Seller.  Notwithstanding  anything  in this  SECTION  10.1 or this
     Agreement to the contrary,  the  foregoing  provisions of this SECTION 10.1
     shall not limit Seller's  indemnification  obligations under this Agreement
     or any  obligation of Seller which is to survive  termination or expiration
     of this Agreement.

          10.2 DEFAULT BY  PURCHASER.  In the event  prior to Closing  Purchaser
     should  fail to  consummate  the  transaction  contemplated  herein for any
     reason  except for (i) any  permissible  reasons  set forth  herein or (ii)
     Seller's  failure  to close in  accordance  with the  requirements  of this
     Agreement,  Seller shall retain the Hard Deposit and Escrow Agent shall pay
     to Seller the Deposit upon Seller's demand,  such sums being agreed upon as
     liquidated  damages  for the  failure of  Purchaser  to perform the duties,
     liabilities and obligations  imposed upon it by the terms and provisions of
     this Agreement and because of the difficulty, inconvenience and uncertainty
     of ascertaining  actual damages,  and no other damages,  rights or remedies
     shall in any case be collectible,  enforceable or available to Seller other
     than as provided in this SECTION 10.2. Seller agrees to accept and take the
     Hard Deposit and Deposit as its total damages and relief  hereunder in such
     event.  Notwithstanding  anything in this SECTION 10.2 or this Agreement to
     the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 10.2 shall not limit
     Purchaser's   indemnification  obligations  under  this  Agreement  or  any
     obligation of Purchaser  which is to survive  termination  or expiration of
     this Agreement.

          10.3 ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS. In the event of any litigation between
     the parties  arising out of this  Agreement or the  collection of any funds
     due Seller or Purchaser  pursuant to this Agreement,  the prevailing  party
     shall be  entitled  to  recover  from the  non-prevailing  party  all costs
     incurred,   including   without   limitation   reasonable   attorneys'  and
     paralegals'  fees and costs,  whether  such fees and costs are  incurred at
     trial, on appeal or in any bankruptcy proceedings.

     11.  BROKER.  Seller and Purchaser warrant each to the other that they have
not dealt with any real estate broker with regard to this transaction other than
Grubb & Ellis/BRE  Commercial (Stanton Shafer and Brian Lee) (the "BROKER").  At
Closing, if and only if the transaction  contemplated in this Agreement actually
closes pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement,  Seller shall pay to the Broker
the brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and the
Broker.  Seller and Purchaser warrant each to the other that they have not dealt
with any real estate  broker other than Broker with regard to this  transaction.
Purchaser  shall  indemnify,  defend and hold  harmless  Seller from any and all
commissions claimed by any broker or third party, other than the Broker, arising
by virtue of this transaction whose commissions might legally arise from acts of


                                       16


Purchaser.  Seller shall indemnify,  defend and hold harmless Purchaser from any
and all commissions  claimed by any broker or third party (including the Broker)
arising by virtue of this transaction whose commissions might legally arise from
acts of  Seller.  The  obligations  of  indemnity  of  Purchaser  and  Seller as
contained in this SECTION 11 shall survive the Closing.

     12.  ESCROW.

          12.1 ESCROW AGENT AND ESCROW PROCEDURE. Escrow Agent, by acceptance of
     the funds deposited by Purchaser  hereunder,  agrees to hold such funds and
     to disburse the same only in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions of
     this Agreement,  which shall serve as escrow  instructions to Escrow Agent.
     In the event of a  termination  of this  Agreement or a default  under this
     Agreement, the Deposit (inclusive of the interest accrued thereon) shall be
     delivered or disbursed by Escrow Agent as provided in this Agreement.

          12.2 CLOSING  PROTECTION  LETTER.  Since Escrow Agent acts as an agent
     for the Title  Insurer,  Escrow Agent will cause the Title Insurer to issue
     to Seller and Purchaser,  within five (5) days following the Execution Date
     of this Agreement,  a closing  protection letter in written form reasonably
     satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser.

     13.  OTHER CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS.

          13.1 ASSIGNMENT.  Purchaser  may not  assign  its  rights  under  this
     Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller,  which consent shall
     not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed;  provided,  however,  upon prior
     written notice to Seller,  Purchaser may assign all (but not less than all)
     of its rights and obligations to an entity  controlled by the principals of
     Purchaser,  to an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control
     with Purchaser,  or to a "qualified  intermediary" in order to accomplish a
     like kind  exchange  (either  forward or  reverse)  within  the  meaning of
     Section   1031  of  the  Internal   Revenue  Code  of  1986,   as  amended.
     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  no such  assignment may be made unless any
     such  permitted  assignee  (other  than  such a  "qualified  intermediary")
     assumes  all  obligations  of  Purchaser   hereunder  in  writing  in  form
     reasonably  acceptable  to Seller.  Any  assignment  consented to by Seller
     shall be subject to all the provisions,  terms, covenants and conditions of
     this Agreement,  and the assignor  shall, in any event,  continue to be and
     remain liable under this Agreement.

          13.2 NOTICES.  All notices  which are required or permitted  hereunder
     must be in writing  and shall be deemed to have been  given,  delivered  or
     made,  as the case may be (i) when  delivered  by personal  delivery,  (ii)
     three (3) business  days after having been  deposited in the United  States
     mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, sufficient postage

                                       18


     waiver,  modification,  amendment,  discharge or termination is sought, and

     or any related  instruments.  Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby waive any
     right to collect any punitive,  special, exemplary or consequential damages

     Agreement  and  any  related  instruments  are  the  product  of  extensive
     negotiations  between the parties  hereto and that both parties hereto have
     contributed  substantially  and materially to the final preparation of this
     Agreement and all related instruments.

          13.9 SEVERABILITY.  In case anyone or more of the provisions contained

     unenforceable   in   any   respect,   such   invalidity,    illegality   or
     unenforceability  shall not affect  any other  provision  hereof,  and this

     provision had never been contained herein.

     the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of

     agree that Section  6045(e) of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986  requires

     public  records.  Purchaser  agrees that it will not attempt to record this
     Agreement  or any  notice  thereof  and that any  attempt  to  record  this
     Agreement or any notice  thereof shall  constitute a default on the part of

     Agreement  is  terminated  or  canceled  without  Purchaser  acquiring  the

     business  days  thereafter,  deliver  to Seller  all due  diligence  items,

     parties'  representations  and  warranties  contained  in  SECTION  9.1 AND
     SECTION 9.3, each of the terms and  provisions of this  Agreement  that are
     not incorporated into the Deed, or which are not satisfied by the execution
     and delivery of the Deed,  or which by their nature  require the parties to
     perform certain acts subsequent to the Closing, shall survive the Closing.

          13.17 LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE.  If either  Seller or Purchaser so requests,
     the other party shall  cooperate  with the  requesting  party to the extent
     reasonably  necessary for the requesting  party to qualify this transaction
     as a like kind exchange  within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal
     Revenue   Code  of  1986,   as  amended;   provided,   however,   that  the
     non-requesting  party  shall  not be  obligated  to  incur  any  additional
     material expense (including attorney's fees) or liability on account of its
     accommodation of the requesting party, nor shall such tax deferred exchange
     delay the Closing.

RE:  DISCOUNT TIRE CO., INC. CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS ( THE "PROPERTY")

     The undersigned  lessee  ("TENANT")  under that certain  Bondable Net Lease
Agreement  dated April 10, 2001, as amended by that certain (i) First  Amendment
to Bondable  Net Lease  Agreement  dated  September  28,  2001,  and (ii) Second
Amendment to Bondable Net Lease  Agreement  dated  October 21, 2002 (as amended,
"LEASE") by and between  Tenant and Scottsdale  Thompson  Peak,  LLC, an Arizona
limited  liability  company  ("LANDLORD"),  successor  in  interest to Opus West
Corporation,  a Minnesota  corporation,  as original lessor  ("OPUS"),  covering
premises   commonly  known  as  or  located  at  20225  North  Scottsdale  Road,
Scottsdale, Arizona 85255 ("LEASED PREMISES"), certifies the following as of the
date hereof:

     1.   Tenant is the lessee  under the Lease  demising  the Leased  Premises.
Except as set forth above,  the Lease has not been modified,  changed,  altered,
amended or assigned in any respect. The Lease contains all of the understandings
and agreements between Tenant and Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises.



     2.   The term of the Lease commenced on December 9, 2002 and will expire on
December 31, 2024  (excluding  unexercised  extensions).  The Lease  contains no
rights to extend the term of the  Lease,  except as  expressly  set forth in the
Lease.

     3.   The Leased Premises consist of 157,566 rentable square feet.  Tenant's
security  deposit is $0.00.  The fixed  Basic Rent  payable by Tenant  under the
Lease is as follows:

     Period                   Annual Basic Rent       Monthly Basic Rent
     ------                   -----------------       ------------------

     Years 1 through 5          $2,096,250.00            $174,687.50
     Years 6 through 10         $2,305,875.00            $192,156.25
     Years 11 through 15        $2,536,462.50            $211,371.88
     Years 16 through 22        $2,790,108.75            $232,509.06

     4.   The Lease is valid and in  existence  as executed and is in full force
and effect.  To the best of Tenant's  actual  knowledge,  there is  presently no
default,  nor any condition or circumstance  which, with the giving of notice or
the passage of time (or both),  would  result in a default  under the Lease,  by
either Tenant or Landlord.

     5.   Tenant  has paid  all  installments  of rent in the  time  and  manner
required under the Lease through and including the date hereof without deduction
or setoff. Tenant has not made any prepayment of rent or other charges under the
Lease beyond the current month.  Tenant has made no agreements  with Landlord or
its agents or employees  concerning  free rent,  partial rent,  rebate of rental
payments or any other type of rental concession.

     6.   Tenant has no existing  defenses,  offsets,  claims or credits against
rentals payable under the Lease.

     7.   Tenant  has  not  entered  into  any  sublease,  assignment  or  other
agreement  transferring or  hypothecating  all or any portion of its interest in
the Leased Premises or the Lease.

     8.   Tenant has accepted and taken possession of all of the Leased Premises
and all tenant  improvement  work to be performed by Landlord under the Lease or
by Opus  has been  completed.  There  are no  payments  or  credits  for  tenant
improvement  work currently due and payable by Landlord to Tenant which have not
been paid or applied. Tenant is not entitled to any future payment or credit for
tenant improvement work with respect to the Leased Premises.

     9.   Except  as  expressly  set  forth in the  Lease,  Tenant  has not been
granted any options to  terminate  the term of the Lease  earlier  than the date
specified  in  paragraph 2 above,  nor any rights of first  refusal to lease any
other space in the  Property.  Tenant does not have any  outstanding  options to
purchase,  or rights of first  refusal or first  offer to  purchase,  the Leased
Premises or any part of the Property.

     10.  No actions, whether voluntary or otherwise, are pending against Tenant
under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any states thereof.

     11.  Tenant's  obligations  under the Lease are guaranteed  pursuant to the
terms and conditions of that certain  Multiparty  Guaranty dated September ____,
2002, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made


                                       2


a part hereof,  which is valid and in existence as executed and is in full force
and effect.

     12.  To the best of Tenant's  actual  knowledge,  the use,  maintenance  or
operation of the Leased Premises  complies with all applicable  federal,  state,
county or local  statutes,  laws,  rules,  ordinances,  regulations,  orders and
directives of any governmental  authority  relating to environmental,  health or
safety  ("LAWS").  Tenant has not  received  any  written  notice of any present
violation of any laws relating to the use or condition of the Leased Premises or
the Property.

     13.  Tenant hereby attorns to the Purchaser, as landlord, in the event that
Purchaser acquires the Property from Landlord.

     14.  TENANT  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT THIS  CERTIFICATION  IS BEING  REQUIRED  BY
PURCHASER.  THIS  CERTIFICATION IS MADE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE PURCHASER IS
ABOUT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  TENANT  UNDERSTANDS AND INTENDS THAT PURCHASER,
AND ITS  SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS,  WILL  BE  RELYING  UPON  THE  TRUTH  OF THIS
CERTIFICATION.

     15.  The undersigned is authorized to execute this Estoppel  Certificate on

                               MULTIPARTY GUARANTY


     This Multiparty  Guaranty ("Lease Guaranty") is executed as of the ____ day
of September,  2002 by each of the parties listed on the signature  pages hereof
(each, a "Guarantor" and collectively,  the "Guarantors") jointly and severally,
for the  benefit of OPUS WEST  CORPORATION,  a  Minnesota  corporation,  and its
successors and assigns ("Landlord").

                                    RECITALS

          A.  Landlord,  as  Landlord,  and THE  REINALT-THOMAS  CORPORATION,  a
Michigan  corporation,  as Tenant,  entered into a Bondable Net Lease  Agreement
dated April 10,  2001,  as amended by the First  Amendment to Bondable Net Lease
Agreement dated September  28, 2001 and by the Second  Amendment to Bondable Net
Lease Agreement of even date with this Lease Guaranty (as so amended, and as may
hereafter be amended, the "Lease") for the premises described therein.

          B.   Guarantors are the guarantors  under a Multiparty  Guaranty dated
as of March 28,  2002 as the same may be  amended  from time to time (the  "Note
Purchase Guaranty") with respect to certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of
March  28,  2002,  pursuant  to which  the  beneficiaries  of the Note  Purchase
Guaranty agreed to purchase notes from Tenant.

          C.   Landlord has requested Guarantors, and Guarantors have agreed, to
execute this Lease Guaranty subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth
below.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises and of other valuable
consideration, each Guarantor hereby agrees with Landlord as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

     1.   Each Guarantor  hereby  absolutely,  irrevocably  and  unconditionally
guarantees  to Landlord the timely  payment of  a11 rent and the timely  payment
and  performance  of all other monetary and  non-monetary  obligations of Tenant
under the terms of the Lease (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").  This
Lease  Guaranty is an absolute  guaranty of payment and  performance  and not of
collection.  This Lease Guaranty will survive the early termination of the Lease
and will  continue  in full force and  effect  with  respect to any of  Tenant's
obligations  under  the  Lease  that are not  fully  performed  upon  the  early
termination of the  Lease; provided,  however,  notwithstanding  anything to the
contrary in this Lease Guaranty, upon the earliest to occur of:

          (a)  the seventh anniversary of the date of this Lease Guaranty, or

          (b)  the release, discharge or termination (by agreement, operation of
law or  otherwise)  of all of the  Guarantors  from  liability  under  the  Note
Purchase  Guaranty by the  beneficiaries  thereof,  (but only if thereafter  the
Guarantors no longer  guaranty the Note Purchase  Agreements or any  refinancing
thereof), or




          (c)  Tenant's  general  unsecured debt  obligations have an investment
grade of at least "2" by the NAIC (National  Association of Insurance  Carriers)
or "BBB(-)" by any other  national  rating agency,  without  guaranties of other
entities,  (the  "Termination  Date"),  all of the  Guarantors shall be released
from any and all liabilities and obligations  under this Lease  Guaranty  except
liability for Guaranteed  Obligations  that accrued and became payable by Tenant
or any Guarantor prior to the Termination Date.

     2.   Each  Guarantor shall  have the  right to cure any  default  by Tenant
within the cure period  applicable to Tenant under the Lease,  and any such cure
by Guarantors shall be accepted by Landlord as though performed by Tenant.

     3.   The  liability  of  each  Guarantor  hereunder  shall be  primary  and
direct.  The  failure  to insist  upon  strict or timely  performance  by Tenant
pursuant  to the Lease  shall not  release  any  Guarantor  from the  Guaranteed
Obligations.  Subject  to the  limitation  set forth in  Section  1 above,  each
Guarantor  hereby  absolutely,  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  covenants and
agrees   that  it  shall   remain   liable   for  the   Guaranteed   Obligations
notwithstanding   any  liquidation,   dissolution,   receivership,   insolvency,
bankruptcy,   assignment   for  the   benefit  of   creditors,   reorganization,
arrangement,  composition  or  readjustment  of  or  other  similar  proceedings
affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of
Tenant.

     4.   Each  Guarantor  makes the following  representations  and  warranties
which shall be continuing  representations  and warranties so long as this Lease
Guaranty remains outstanding:

          (a)  The  Lease  is of  direct  or  indirect  interest,  advantage  or
financial benefit to the Guarantor.

          (b)  This Lease Guaranty is a valid and legally binding  obligation of
the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          (c)  The  execution  and delivery of this Lease  Guaranty are not, aud
the performance of this Lease Guaranty will not be, in  contravention  of, or in
conflict with, any agreement, indenture or undertaking to which the Guarantor is
a party or by which the Guarantor is or may be bound or affected.

          (d)  The Guarantor has a copy of and is fully  familiar with the Lease
and each of its Exhibits.

     5.   Landlord  may,  without  the  consent  of any  Guarantor  and  without
affecting  this Lease  Guaranty,  at any time and from time to time:  (a) amend,
modify,  or defer  the time  for  performance  of any  provision  of the  Lease,
including  any change in the  provisions  affecting the  Guaranteed  Obligations
(whether   increasing  or  decreasing   Tenant's   responsibility  or  liability
therefor),  or (b) make any agreement with  Tenant for the  extension,  payment,
compromise,  discharge or release of any obligation  under the Lease, or for any
modification of the terms of the Lease,  including,  without limitation,  any of
the Guaranteed Obligations,  without notice to or the consent of Guarantors, and
the  obligations of Guarantors  under this Lease Guaranty shall not be impaired.
amended, reduced, diminished or affected by any of the foregoing.

                                      -2-


     6.   Each  Guarantor  expressly  agrees  that  the  validity  of this Lease
Guaranty and its obligations hereunder shall in no way be terminated,  affected,
reduced,  diminished or impaired by reason of the assertion by Landlord  against
Tenant of any of the rights or  remedies  reserved  to  Landlord by the Lease or
otherwise  at law or in  equity  as a result  of  Tenant's  breach of any of its
obljgations  under the Lease or otherwise.  Each Guarantor further covenants and
agrees that this Lease  Guaranty and the full  liability of Guarantor  hereunder
shall  remain  and  continue  in  full  force  and  effect  notwithstanding  the
occurrence  of any one or  more  of the  following  events  (whether  or not the
Guarantor shall have received any notice or consented to such transaction):  (a)
any event described in Section 5 of this Lease  Guaranty;  (b) any assignment or
transfer by Landlord under the Lease;  (c) any assignment,  sublease or transfer
by Tenant  permitted  under the Lease (unless this Lease Guaranty is released in
writing by Landlord);  (d) any dissolution or liquidation of Landlord or Tenant;
(e) any  failure  or delay by  Landlord  to  exercise  any remedy or right as to
Tenant or Guarantors;  (f) the fact that Landlord's interest under the Lease may
be foreclosed  upon or  transferred by Landlord in a deed in lieu of foreclosure
transaction or similar  transaction;  or (g) the fact that Tenant may be a party
to any merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization;  if Tenant is a  disappearing
party in any such merger, consolidation or reorganization, then Guarantors shall
nevertheless  remain liable for the Guaranteed  Obligations  in accordance  with
this Lease Guaranty.

     7.   Each  Guarantor  further  agrees that the  obligations  of  Guarantors
hereunder are  independent of the obligations of Tenant and that as to any right
of action  which  shall  accrue  to  Landlord  with  respect  to the  Guaranteed
Obligations,  Landlord may, at its sole and exclusive option and in its sole and
absolute discretion (without the need for any notice to any Guarantor),  proceed
(a)  against  Tenant  alone  (without  having  made any  prior  demand  upon any
Guarantor  or having  commenced  any  action  against  any  Guarantor  or having
obtained or having attempted to satisfy any judgment against any Guarantor),  or
(b)  against  anyone  or more  of the  Guarantors,  singly  or in any  order  or
combination,  jointly or severally,  or (c) against Tenant and anyone or more of
tile  Guarantors,  in any order or combination,  jointly or severally.  With the
exception  only of the  defenses  of  performance  by Tenant and the  default or
failure to perform by Landlord  (which  defenses each Guarantor shall have under
this Lease  Guaranty,  notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary in this Lease
Guaranty), all defenses of the law of guaranty,  identification,  and suretyship
are hereby  waived and  released by each  Guarantor.  Each  Guarantor  expressly
waives any  defense or benefit  arising out of any  impairment  of its rights of
subrogation  or its  right to  proceed  against  Tenant  or its  property.  Each
Guarantor  expressly  waives any right to require  Landlord  to proceed  against
Tenant or any other person or any security now or hereafter  held by Landlord or
to pursue any other right or remedy whatsoever.

     8.   Each  Guarantor  hereby  waives any  defense  arising by reason of any
disability,  lack of authority,  or  termination  of existence of Tenant,  or by
reason of the bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or other debtor's relief
afforded  to Tenant  pursuant  to the  present or any future  provisions  of the
United States Bankruptcy Act or any other state or federal statute, or cessation
from any cause  whatsoever of the liability of Tenant other than performance and
discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     9.   Each Guarantor  waives (a) all  presentments, demands for performance,
notices of non-performance,  protests, notices of protests,  notices of dishonor

                                      -3-


and notices of acceptance of this Lease Guaranty and of the existence,  creation
or incurring of all or any part of the  Guaranteed  Obligations  now existing or
hereafter arising and (b) the  benefits of any statutory  provision limiting the
liability of a surety including,  without limitation,  the provisions of Arizona
Revised Statutes Section 12-1641 et sec., Section 44-142 and Section 47-3605 and
Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure Section 17(f). Each Guarantor acknowledges that
it has access to and  knowledge  of all  information  relevant to the  financial
condition of Tenant.

     10.  This Lease  Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

     11.  In addition to the Guaranteed Obligations,  each Guarantor shall, upon
demand, pay to and reimburse Landlord for all costs,  reasonable attorneys' fees
and other  expenses  which  Landlord may expend or incur in the  enforcement  of
rights  against  Tenant  in  respect  of the  Guaranteed  Obligations  or in the
enforcement  of this  Lease  Guaranty.  In the event any legal  proceedings  are
brought with respect to the enforcement of this Lease  Guaranty,  the prevailing
party or parties  in such  proceedings  shall be  entitled  to recover  from the
losing party or parties all reasonable  costs and expenses of such  proceedings,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, in such amount as may be determined by the
court having jurisdiction of such proceedings.

     12.  If any  payments of money or transfer  of property made to Landlord by
Tenant would, for any reason  subsequently be declared to be fraudulent  (within
the meaning of the state or federal law  relating  to  fraudulent  conveyances),
preferential or otherwise voidable or recoverable,  in whole or in part, for any
reason under the Bankruptcy Act or any other federal or state  law  (hereinafter
collectively  called  "voidable  transfer"),  and  Landlord  is  required to and
actually does repay or restore any such voidable transfer,  or the amount or any
portion thereof,  then as to any such voidable  transfer or the amount repaid or
restored  and all costs and  expenses of  Landlord  related  thereto,  including
reasonable   attorneys'  fees,  each  Guarantor's   liability   hereunder  shall
automatically be revived,  reinstated or restored and shall exist as though such
voidable transfers had never been made to Landlord.

     13.  This  Lease  Guaranty  is and shall be deemed to be  entered  into and
pursuant  to the  interna1, local laws of the  State of Arizona  (excluding  any
conflicts of law provisions)  and shall in all respects be governed,  construed,
applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of such state.

     14.  If any  provision  of this  Lease  Guaranty  is  held  by a  court  of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal,  invalid or unenforceable under present or
future  laws,  such  provision  shall be fully  severable,  shall not  impair or
invalidate  the remainder of this Lease Guaranty and the effect thereof shall be
confined to the provision held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable.

     15.  No  modification or amendment of any provision of this Lease Guaranty,
nor consent to any  departure  by any  Guarantor  therefrom,  sha11 be effective
unless the same shall be in writing  and signed by  Landlord,  and then shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

     16.  The  obligations of each Guarantor under this Lease Guaranty are joint
and several.  The liability of each Guarantor is independent of the  obligations

                                      -4-


of each  other  Guarantor  and a  separate  action or  actions  may be  brought,
prosecuted and enforced by Landlord against anyone or more Guarantors whether or
not any action is brought,  prosecuted or enforced  against any other Guarantors
or whether any other  Guarantors  are joined in any such action or actions,  and
without releasing the rights of Landlord against any such Guarantors.

     17.  Landlord's  recourse against each Guarantor who is a partnership shall
be limited to the partnership  property,  and no  general partner of a Guarantor
sha1l have any personal liability for liabilities of that partnership under this
Lease  Guaranty.  Landlord  shall not seek any  personal  judgment  against such
partners in their individual capacity nor shall the property of any such general
partner be subject to levy or  execution  to satisfy  any  judgment  against the
Guarantor.

     18.  Landlord may sell,  assign, or otherwise  transfer its interest in the
leased premises or the Lease at any time. If Landlord  transfers (other than for
collateral  security  purposes)  the  ownership  of  Landlord's  interest in the
Lease,  this Lease Guaranty shall,  unless Landlord elects otherwise in writing,
automatically  apply in favor of the  transferee  with respect to all Guaranteed
Obligations.

     19.  In the event any Guarantor is removed or released by the beneficiaries
of the Note Purchase Agreement as a guarantor under the Notes Purchase Guaranty,
then such  Guarantor  shall  also be  released  as  Guarantor  under  this Lease
Guaranty.  The parties agree to execute  documents  necessary to effectuate  the
release of such Guarantor or Guarantors hereunder.

          EXECUTED as of the date first set forth above.
