Dear Barry:

      This will confirm the agreement we made in our telephone conversation of
this date concerning the extension of the Investigation Period under the Real
Estate Purchase Agreement between our clients dated September 14, 2004.

      The agreement we made was to extend the Investigation Period until 5:00 pm
on Tuesday November 2, 2004, and to extend the deadline for the additional
earnest money to 5:00 pm on November 3, 2004.

      Please sign below to evidence your agreement and fax me back a fully
signed copy of this letter.

      Thank you for your attention to this.

                                       VAN MATRE AND HARRISON, P.C.
