2.3 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections. Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Title Exam Deadline to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections as Buyer may have to anything contained in the Title Commitment or the Survey (including Permitted Exceptions). Any item contained in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the Survey to which Buyer does not object prior to the Title Exam Deadline shall be deemed a Permitted Exception. In the event Buyer shall notify Seller of objections to title or to matters shown on the Survey prior to the Title Exam Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake any action or incur any expense in order to effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction of cure such objections.

If Seller elects to attempt to cure, and provided that Buyer shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2, Seller shall have until the date of Closing to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same and for this purpose Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing if additional time is required, but in no event shall the adjournment exceed sixty (60) days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1. If Seller elects not to cure any objections specified in Buyer's notice, or if Seller is unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been adjourned), Buyer shall have the following options: (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Buyer which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended) shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any title objection; or if, having commenced attempts to cure any objection, Seller later notifies Buyer that Seller will be unable to effect a cure thereof, Buyer shall, within five (5) days after such notice has been given, notify Seller in writing whether Buyer shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (i) or to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii) of this Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall satisfy, release or cure (or bond against in a manner sufficient to cause the Title Company to insure over such objection) at Closing any encumbrance or lien of a fixed amount that is objected to by Buyer and is a result of Seller’s actions such as mortgages, mechanic’s liens, utility liens and tax liens.

2.4 Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Buyer such title to the Property as will enable the Title Company to issue to Buyer, at Buyer's expense, an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance (the "Title Policy") covering the Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price.

2.5 Pre-Closing "Gap" Title Defects. Buyer may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title between (a) the expiration of the Inspection Period and (b) the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close. With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Buyer shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Buyer before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matters, the date for Closing shall be automatically extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such a cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed sixty (60) days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1. Seller shall not, after the Effective Date, subject the Property to or permit or suffer to exist any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes without Buyer's prior written consent.

Such physical inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by Seller or its tenant or Hotel guests nor shall Buyer's inspection damage the Property in any respect. Such physical inspection shall not be invasive in any respect (unless Buyer obtains Seller's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld), and in any event shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations. Following each entry by Buyer with respect to inspections or tests on the Property, Buyer shall restore the Property to a condition which is as near to its original condition as existed prior to any such inspections or tests. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in its due diligence but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith. Buyer shall not contact any guests of the Property without obtaining Seller's prior written consent and shall not disrupt Seller's or any tenant's activities on the Property. Buyer agrees to indemnify against and hold Seller harmless from any claim for liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred) damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Buyer or its agents, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. These obligations of Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to perform any removal or remediation of any hazardous substances revealed by Buyer’s actions, and Buyer shall not be liable for any damages to Seller resulting from Buyer’s reporting of any hazardous substances revealed by Buyer’s actions under this Section 3.1.

All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Buyer.

Seller shall not be entitled to any compensation in connection with such activities.

Where applicable, the apportionments shall be made by the Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 4.17.

(a) All rents, operating costs and other charges under any lease or other covenant at the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. At the Closing, Seller shall either deliver to Buyer any security deposit actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Buyer the amount of such security deposit (to the extent such security deposit is not applied against delinquent rentals or otherwise as provided in the Leases).

(b) Unpaid and delinquent rent under the Lease collected by Seller and Buyer after the Closing Date shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller hereafter collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any such rent relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, and (b) if Buyer hereafter collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Buyer shall deliver to Seller any such rent relating to the period prior to the date of Closing within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) all rent received by Seller after the date of Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rentals, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current rentals, and (ii) all rent received by Buyer after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity. Buyer will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Buyer's operation of the Property, but Buyer will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents. Seller shall pay any unpaid leasing commissions and tenant inducement costs that exist as of the Effective Date and remain unpaid with respect to the Property under the Lease from and after the Effective Date.

Asian Mill under the Lease is paying operating costs (CAM, real estate taxes and insurance) based on an estimate of costs. Seller shall provide Buyer with a preliminary reconciliation statement showing the amount of operating costs paid by the Asian Mill compared to an estimate of the amount of operating costs incurred by Seller as of the date of Closing. The preliminary reconciliation statement shall reconcile to the extent practical the difference between the amounts as of the date of Closing with the Purchase Price being adjusted accordingly to account for the difference. Post-closing, within sixty (60) after the date of Closing, Buyer and Seller shall

12

cooperate jointly to reconcile the actual operating costs incurred by Seller to the date of Closing compared to the estimate of such amount paid at Closing, and shall make payment accordingly to the other based on the difference. All operating costs for all years prior to the year of Closing have been reconciled and paid by or refunded to all tenants at the Property and Seller knows of no dispute or issues regarding such reconciliation.

To Seller’s actual knowledge, there are (and will be as of the Closing) no unpaid rent, accounts receivables and other amounts related to the Property owed to Seller under the Lease for any time period prior to the Effective Date.

General real estate taxes for the Property due and payable in the year of Closing that are not paid by the tenant under the Lease shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller based on a 365 day calendar year as if Buyer were vested with title to the Property on the Closing. Seller shall also pay, on or before the Closing, all special assessments levied or pending against the Property as of the Closing that are not paid by the tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, any installments of special assessments (or estimates thereof) and interest thereon payable after the Closing. In the event the actual amount of general real estate taxes or special assessments owed by Seller has not been determined, Seller shall pay the general real estate taxes and special assessments owed by Seller based on one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the general real estate taxes and special assessments contained in the most recent tax xxxx. The obligations of Buyer and Seller contained in this Section shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed. A post-Closing adjustment will be made for the actual taxes payable for the year in which the Closing shall occur. Such adjustment shall be made within ten (10) days after a written demand therefor is made by either party hereto to the other party with a copy of the actual tax xxxx(s) attached.

(e) With respect to electricity, telephone, television, cable television, gas, water and sewer services that are metered and other utilities (collectively, the "Utilities"), Seller shall endeavor to have the respective companies providing the Utilities read the meters for the Utilities on or immediately prior to the Apportionment Date. For periods prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for all charges based on such final meter reading not being paid by Asian Mill under the Asian Mill Lease, and Buyer shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as readings are obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not obtained shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date based upon the per diem rate obtained by using the last period and bills for such Utilities that are available. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which the date of Closing falls, and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.

(f) Room charges as to the Hotel for the night commencing on the Apportionment Date and ending on the morning of the date of Closing shall be split equally between the parties.

(h) transferable deposits with companies providing Utilities, if any, to the extent the rights to such transferable deposits are assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing.

(i) Amounts prepaid or payable under any Service Contracts assumed by Buyer. Subject to Section 3.6, any amounts previously paid by the Seller to parties under any of the Service Contracts (as defined in Article 8) applicable to periods following the Closing Date shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller.

Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the other against and shall hold the other harmless from any costs, expenses or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may result from any failure by Seller or Buyer to so pay such items.

(k) The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer acknowledges that Buyer shall not be entitled to rely on any representation made by Seller in this Article V to the extent, prior to or at Closing, Buyer shall have or obtain actual knowledge of any information that was contradictory to such representation or warranty; provided, however, if Buyer determines prior to Closing that there is a material breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller above or learns of any pending legal proceedings or administrative actions or any violations of existing laws, ordinances, regulations and building, codes affecting the Property which would otherwise enable Buyer to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, then Buyer may, at its option, by sending to Seller written notice of its election either (i) terminate this Agreement or (ii) waive such breach and/or conditions and proceed to Closing with no adjustment in the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no further liability as to such matter thereafter. In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement for the reasons set forth above, the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended) shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither Buyer nor Seller shall thereafter have any other rights or remedies hereunder other than as specifically stated otherwise. In furtherance thereof, Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of the foregoing representations and warranties or any representations and warranties made in any other document executed and delivered by Seller to Buyer, to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Buyer discovers or learns of information (from whatever source, including, without limitation the Manager, as a result of Buyer’s due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that contradicts any such representations and warranties, or renders any such representations and warranties untrue or incorrect, and Buyer nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. If, after the Effective Date but prior to Closing,

20

a material and adverse change occurs to any of the above representations or warranties that is not caused by Seller so that such is no longer accurate or true and constitutes a breach by Seller, the party obtaining knowledge of such change shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the change. Under said circumstances, and in the event that such change in the representation or warranty is not caused by the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Seller and is material and adverse to Buyer, Seller shall have at least five (5) business days to cure after notice from Buyer. In the event the Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, then Buyer, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Agreement without further liability by giving written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended) shall be returned to Buyer.

DEFAULT

6.1 Default. Buyer or Seller shall be in default under this Agreement if either fails to observe, perform or comply with any material term, condition or obligation of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice of the failure from the other party.

6.2 Seller’s Remedies. IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY BUYER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE

23

PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER's ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO BUYER's DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

The rights and remedies of this Section 6.2 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

6.3 Buyer’s Remedies. If the Closing has not occurred due to a breach by Seller in any material respect any of its obligations or representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or if Seller fails to consummate this Agreement for any reason other than Buyer's default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer as herein expressly provided, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended), which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller's obligation to execute the documents required to convey the Property to Buyer, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in subsection (a) above) if Buyer fails to file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ninety (90) days after written notice of termination from Seller or ninety (90) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date, whichever shall occur first. If specific performance is not available due to the fact that Seller has conveyed the Property to a third party, then upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer, in addition to receiving the immediate return of the Deposit, anything in the Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer shall also receive from Seller, upon demand, Buyer’s actual, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with conducting its due diligence related to the Property; provided, however, Seller’s maximum reimbursement liability with respect to the foregoing shall not exceed $300,000.00.

The rights and remedies of this Article VI shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE IN ADDITION TO AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT SELLER'S OR BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS HEREOF.

ARTICLE VII    

RISK OF LOSS

7.1 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not "major" (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller's option, assigns to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly to a condition similar to that which existed prior to such damage, and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs, but not to exceed fifteen (15) days. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller's insurance policy and the

24

costs to repair any uninsured or uncompensated damage. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.

7.2 Major Damage. In the event of a "major" loss or damage, either Seller or Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended) shall be returned to Buyer. If neither Seller nor Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement within twenty (20) days after Seller sends Buyer written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller's option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs to a condition similar to that which existed prior to such damage, or (b) assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs, but not to exceed fifteen (15) days. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller's insurance policy and the costs to repair any uninsured or uncompensated damage. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.

7.3 Definition of "Major" Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, "major" loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer, equal to or greater than $200,000.00, or (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property. If Buyer does not give notice to Seller of Buyer's reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

7.4    Condemnation. If, subsequent to the expiration of the Inspection Period and prior to the Closing Date, any proceeding, judicial, administrative or otherwise, which relates to the proposed taking of all or any substantial portion of the Property by condemnation or eminent domain or like action, or the taking or closing of any right of access to the Property, is commenced, Seller shall promptly furnish Buyer written notification of any such proceedings after Seller’s receipt of any such notification. Buyer shall have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice to such effect within twenty (20) days after receipt of notification from Seller of any such occurrence or occurrences. Failure to notify Seller within such time of Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed to be an election to proceed to close the transaction. Should Buyer elect to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.4, the entire Deposit (including both the First Deposit and Second Deposit, and whether or not the Inspection Period was extended) shall be returned forthwith to Buyer, and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any further obligation except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

32

aggregate liability for any matter under this Agreement shall be limited to $300,000, except for the following exception.

Notwithstanding the $300,000 maximum Buyer aggregate liability limitation, in the event Buyer receives insurance proceeds relating to any claim by Seller that exceeds $300,000 hereunder and Buyer’s insurance proceeds exceed $300,000 for such claim, Buyer shall, in addition to agreeing to the delivery of $300,000 under the Escrow Agreement, remit the excess of the $300,000 in insurance proceeds actually received by Buyer (net of any deductible) to the Seller.

RECITALS:

A.    Seller and Buyer have entered into a purchase and sale agreement dated __________, 2013 (“Purchase Agreement”) for a hotel facility and additional building, site improvements, land and certain other assets used in the operation of the hotel facility commonly known as the University Days Inn Minneapolis, and with street addresses of 2400 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX xnd 2400 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX, as further described in the Purchase Agreement (“Property”).

B.    The Deposit (as hereinafter defined) is being deposited by Seller at the closing under the Purchase Agreement from a portion of the purchase price to provide available funds in the event that Seller is required to pay certain indemnification obligations arising from or related to Sections 12.1(a) through (f) of the Purchase Agreement.

C.    The Deposit and disbursement of the Deposit shall be made in accordance with this Agreement and Sections 1.6 and Article 12 of the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual agreements contained herein, Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent agree as follows:

1.Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals are incorporated herein as if fully restated.

2.Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

3.Deposit. Simultaneously with Closing of the sale of the Property, Seller has deposited with the Escrow Agent the sum of three hundred thousand and no/100 dollars ($300,000.00) (“Deposit”). The Deposit may be paid from good funds from a portion of the purchase price paid at Closing by Buyer and shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be deposited with the Minneapolis office of Escrow Agent.

4.Deposit Held in Trust. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Deposit and agrees to hold and disburse the same only in accordance with this Agreement. The Deposit is to be held in trust by Escrow Agent in an interest bearing escrow account established by the Escrow Agent.

5.Procedure for Disbursement of the Deposit. Subject to the requirements and limitations contained in this Agreement, Buyer may withdraw from the Deposit an amount equal to pay certain indemnification obligations of the Seller arising from or related to Sections 12.1(a) through (f) of the Purchase Agreement, which sections are restated as follows:

50

(a)    Seller’s actions or the obligations of Seller related to the Property accruing prior to the Closing;

(b)    Seller’s operation of the hotel prior to the Closing Date;

(c)    the breach or inaccuracy of any warranty or representation by the Seller or any misstatement of a fact or facts made by the Seller under the Purchase Agreement;

(d)    the failure of the Seller to state or disclose a material fact under the Purchase Agreement necessary in order to make the facts therein stated or disclosed not misleading;

(f)    any act performed, transaction entered into, or state of facts suffered to exist by the Seller in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Upon written request for disbursement from Buyer to Seller and Escrow Agent, together with copies of the actual third party out of pocket invoices or other evidence of the costs or damages incurred by Buyer for which Seller may be obligated to indemnify Buyer as provided above, periodic disbursements from the Deposit shall be made by Escrow Agent as provided herein. Buyer shall provide a written request for disbursement with the backup information required above simultaneously to Seller and Escrow Agent. No disbursement shall be made by the Escrow Agent until Seller has provided its written consent to the disbursement (which consent will not be withheld, conditioned or delayed unless Seller has a good-faith, reasonable objection to any Buyer claim under this section). Upon Seller’s approval of the disbursement, the Escrow Agent shall disburse either directly to the Buyer or a third party directed to be paid by Buyer, as applicable, that portion of the Deposit as specified in the invoice or evidence that has been approved by Seller. In the event that Seller has not provided (i) its written consent to the disbursement or (ii) a writing objecting to the Buyer’s requested disbursement, within ten (10) days after Buyer’s request for disbursement, and after Buyer has provided additional written notice to Seller of Seller’s failure and provided Seller with an additional five (5) business days to consent or object, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately release the requested disbursement as directed by Buyer. If objection to Buyer’s requested disbursement is made in writing by Seller within the aforesaid period, Escrow Agent shall not make any disbursement but instead shall retain the Deposit until instructed otherwise in writing jointly by Buyer and Seller, or, if appropriate, by the arbitrator in accordance with Section 8 hereof. The Escrow Agent shall be responsible only for the safekeeping of the Deposit and shall not be responsible for the resolution of any questions of fact or law.

6.Termination. The Escrow Agent will disburse to the Seller the Deposit or any funds remaining in the Escrow Agent’s account on the first anniversary of the date of Closing, unless (i) a claim, action, suit or proceeding for indemnification has been commenced in good faith by the Buyer and notice of this action or a request for disbursement has been provided by the Buyer to the Escrow Agent and Seller and (ii) after such action has been commenced or request for disbursement made, neither Seller nor Buyer has sent written notice to the other and Escrow Agent disputing the disbursement. Only the amount of any such disputed claim shall be withheld by the Escrow Agent and not disbursed by Escrow Agent to the Seller.

7.No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no part of the Deposit shall be used to indemnify indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damages, and Seller’s liability under this Agreement shall be limited to the Deposit.

8.Arbitration. Any disputed claims regarding the Deposit or this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the following. The submitting party may elect to submit the arbitration to the American Arbitration Association, or propose independent arbitrators. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon an independent arbitrator, the dispute shall be submitted to the AAA. The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures shall govern any arbitration between the parties, including

51

the rule pertaining to the designation of arbitration procedures for standard, expedited or large, complex commercial disputes consistent with the amount of claim or counterclaim, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall follow the law selected in this Agreement. The prevailing party in such binding arbitration shall be entitled to collect its attorney's fees and costs from the non-prevailing party, but the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, binding arbitration shall not be required, and the right of either party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction shall remain, for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm pending the selection and confirmation of the arbitrator(s). The arbitration shall take place in Minnesota or at such other place as may be mutually agreeable to the parties.

9.Books and Records. Escrow Agent shall keep and maintain, at all times, full, true and accurate books and records to reflect the investment and disbursements of the Deposit made under this Agreement. The Buyer and Seller shall have access to these records during normal business hours. A copy of the books and records shall be provided to Buyer and Seller upon disbursement of the Deposit.

10.Escrow Agent’s Liability. Escrow Agent’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate upon disbursement of the entire Deposit without any further act of the parties to this Agreement. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as an escrowee at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent as such escrowee shall not be deemed to be the agent of either Buyer or Seller, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either Buyer or Seller for any act or omission on its part with respect to the Deposit, if any, unless taken or suffered in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence. Escrow Agent assumes no liability except that expressed in this Agreement and shall have no responsibility or liability to Buyer or Seller or their respective successors or assigns for any action taken by Escrow Agent in good faith upon receipt of any instrument or other writing believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and believed to be properly signed and presented. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any documents furnished under this Agreement; nor shall Escrow Agent be responsible for any representation or statements of the parties, provided, however, that if Escrow Agent obtains actual knowledge of any misrepresentation in any documents furnished under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the parties in writing. If any dispute arises with respect to the disbursement of the Deposit, Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, do one or more of the following: (a) perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement; (b) continue to hold the Deposit until directed by written instructions from both the Buyer and Seller or a final judgment of a court with jurisdiction; or (c) commence an action in interpleader and in connection therewith remit the same to a court of competent jurisdiction pending resolution of such dispute. Buyer and Seller jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, loss, cost or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees either paid to retained attorneys), either at law or in equity, which may arise out of or are in any way connected with Escrow Agent’s being a party to this Agreement or to its performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller do not assume liability for and shall not indemnify Escrow Agent in the event of the willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent.

11.Notice. Any notice, demand or request which may be permitted, required or desired to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be given in writing and directed to a party as the case may be, as follows:
