Purchaser and its counsel, accountants, agents, contractors and other representatives also shall have the right to enter upon the Land at any time after the execution and delivery hereof for inspecting, surveying, engineering, soil borings, performance of environmental tests and such other work as Purchaser shall consider appropriate; provided, however, that such work shall not include demolition or removal of the Improvements or any part thereof. Purchaser shall hold Seller harmless from and fully indemnify Seller against any damage, claim, liability or cause of action arising from or caused by the actions of Purchaser, its agents or representatives, upon the Land from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable or be required to indemnify Seller against claims, liabilities, or causes of action arising from Purchasers mere discovery of hazardous materials or a violation of environmental laws.

If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property is materially damaged or becomes the subject of an action or threat of an action in condemnation or eminent domain, whether temporary or permanent, Seller promptly shall notify Purchaser of such damage, action or threat of action, and Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after such notice by Seller to Purchaser, in which event Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a written termination of this Agreement, and thereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not timely exercise its right of termination, any and all proceeds arising out of such damage or destruction, if the same be insured, or such eminent domain or taking, shall be assigned and paid to Purchaser on the Closing Date. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller shall keep the Property insured and maintained to an extent and in a manner not less than exists on the date of this Agreement, and shall not grant any easement, right of way, license, leasehold or other interest in or relating to the Property without Purchasers prior written consent, which Purchaser may withhold in Purchasers sole and absolute discretion. |

Purchaser in the event of default by Seller are inadequate. Accordingly, Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other remedy available, to apply for and to receive from a court of competent jurisdiction equitable relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise, prohibitory or mandatory, to prevent a breach of the terms of this Agreement, or by way of specific performance to enforce performance of the terms of this Agreement, or rescission.

If Purchaser defaults in the performance of this Agreement, Seller may cancel this Agreement judicially or pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 559.21; or Seller may sue Purchaser for specific performance of this Agreement or for damages for breach of this Agreement, provided any such action is commenced within six (6) months following Purchasers default. |
17. | Tax-Deferred Exchange. Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that Seller may intend to enter into a tax-deferred exchange of the Property, rather than a sale of the Property, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in effecting such exchange, including without limitation executing and delivering any and all documents reasonably requested by Seller to facilitate such exchange, provided that Purchaser shall not be obligated to agree to amend this Agreement or to incur any expense in connection with facilitating such exchange. |
18. | Miscellaneous. The following general provisions govern this Agreement. |
A. | No Waivers. The waiver by either party hereto of any condition or the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. Either party may waive any right conferred upon such party by this Agreement only by giving the other party notice specifically describing the right waived. |
B. | Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. |
