The Policy of Title Insurance shall include a survey endorsement, a mineral endorsement and a tax parcel endorsement, a comprehensive endorsement and such other endorsements as Purchaser may request (provided such requested endorsements are available in North Dakota) and it shall be Seller's obligation to use its best efforts, at no cost to Seller, to meet all of the requirements reasonably imposed by the Title Company to issue such endorsements. Seller shall be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the title search, title exam, and issuance of the Commitment. Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of the issuance of the Owner's Policy and, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.C below, the costs of all endorsements to the Owner's Policy.

B.     Survey. Seller agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Purchaser, within two (2) business days following the Effective Date, the most recent A.L.T.A. boundary survey of the Subject Premises in Seller's possession (the "Existing Survey"). Thereafter, Purchaser shall have the right to cause such Existing Survey to be updated and/or recertified to Purchaser and Purchaser's designees in accordance with Purchaser's A.L.T.A survey requirements (the "Updated Survey"), the cost of which shall be at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. Seller shall have no obligation to execute any "no change" or equivalent affidavit with respect to the Existing Survey, nor shall Seller have any obligation to make any representations or warranties regarding such survey or any measurements or depictions thereon.

C.     Objections. Purchaser shall have forty (40) days following the Effective Date to notify Seller of any objections to the Commitment or Updated Survey ("Objection Period"). Seller shall have ten (I 0) business days from the date notified in writing of the particular defects claimed during the Objection Period ("Cure Period"), to either: (I) remedy the title, (2) obtain title insurance with regard to the defect in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser in all respects, or (3) notify Purchaser that Seller is unable or unwilling to remedy the title or obtain the title insurance, and thereafter Purchaser may, within three (3) business days, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit if Seller does not cure all such title objections within the Cure Period, or Purchaser may elect to waive such defects, with such election by Purchaser effectively deeming such defects to be Permitted Encumbrances, and proceed with this transaction subject thereto and, provided further, that in the event that any such defect(s) results from liens or encumbrances caused by Seller and having liquidated amounts, such liens or encumbrances shall in no event be
-2-


deemed a Permitted Encumbrance and Seller shall be responsible for causing such liens or encumbrances to be paid off in full and released as of the Closing Date. If Purchaser does not notify Seller of a particular defect within the Title Objection Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the matters identified in the Commitment and the Updated Survey, and all such matters shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. In the event that there are new conditions identified on any updated title commitments or any updates to the Updated Survey which were not previously identified on the Commitment or the Updated Survey, then, in such event, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller of such objections which will be treated as new title defects as set forth in this Section 4.C and Purchaser shall have the right to object to such matters as set forth above. In the event Purchaser notifies Seller of any title defects as provided above, and provided that Seller is willing to cure such defects and thereafter obtains title insurance endorsements to provide affirmative insurance with respect to such title defects, then in such event, Seller shall be solely responsible for the cost of such title endorsements.

5.    Possession. Exclusive possession shall be delivered to Purchaser at the time of Closing subject only to the rights of Tenant, as a tenant only, pursuant to the Lease and Permitted Encumbrances.

In the event that the Tenant pays additional rental items such as real estate taxes, maintenance and operating expenses and insurance on an estimated basis, then, prior to Closing, Seller shall complete a reconciliation of all such expenses and shall provide Purchaser with a credit at Closing for any amounts which Purchaser may be obligated to refund to the Tenant. In no event shall Purchaser be charged with any past due rentals, which, if collected by Purchaser, shall be remitted to Seller only after all current rents and other charges have been satisfied, and less Purchaser's reasonable costs of collection, including attorney's fees. Seller shall have no surviving rights after Closing to collect from the Tenant any past due amounts. Should any current charges or billings to or for utilities, including electricity, sewer and water charges that are payable in arrears, be unknown at the Closing, such charges shall be estimated and prorated as of the Closing, with Purchaser receiving a credit from Seller, based upon the last available invoices or billing therefor.

In the event Seller is owed any taxes for periods prior to Closing and which are to be paid for by Tenant pursuant to the Lease, then, Purchaser shall not be required to provide Seller with a credit at Closing; provided, however, at such time as Purchaser has received such amounts from the Tenant under the Lease, it shall remit such amounts to Seller and in no event shall Purchaser be responsible for payment to Seller of any amount of real estate taxes under this Section 9.B. Seller shall provide evidence of all tax payments and statements to Purchaser for the previous three (3) years within five (5) days of Effective Date.

C.     Seller shall be responsible for payment of all operating expenses related to the Subject Premises prior to the Closing Date, which shall be paid in full prior to Closing and Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable evidence that all such operating expenses including all outstanding bills of utility companies and service providers have been paid in full for the time period prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all such expenses on the Closing Date and thereafter.
 
D.     Seller shall be responsible for payment of all amounts due under all reciprocal easement agreements for the time period prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all such amounts on the Closing Date and thereafter.
