<Page>

assessments, charges for installation of roads or utilities, etc. WARNING: If
Buyer contemplates developing property or a use other than the current use,

the feasibility of development of, or a particular use for, a property. Buyer is
solely responsible for all expenses relating to financing, inspections,
investigations, testing, approvals, permits, estimates, etc.

INSPECTIONS: An "inspection" is defined as an observation of the Property which
does not include testing of the Property, other than testing for leaking LP gas
or natural gas used as a fuel source, which are hereby authorized. Seller agrees
to allow Buyer's inspectors reasonable access to the Property upon reasonable
notice for those inspections authorized at lines 197-198. Buyer agrees to
promptly restore the Property to its original condition after Buyer's
Inspections are completed, unless otherwise agreed in this Option.

TESTING: Except as otherwise provided, Seller's authorization for inspections
does not authorize Buyer to conduct testing of the Property. A "test" is defined
as the taking of samples of materials such as soils, water, air or building
materials from the Property and the laboratory or other analysis of these
materials. Seller agrees to allow Buyer's testers reasonable access to the
Property upon reasonable notice for those tests authorized at lines 199-200.
Note: The authorization for testing should specify the areas of the Property to
be tested, the purpose of the test, (e.g., to determine if environmental
contamination is present), any limitations on Buyer's testing and any other

be required to be reported to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

PRE-CLOSING INSPECTION: At a reasonable time, pre-approved by Seller or Seller's
agent, within 3 days before closing, Buyer shall have the right to inspect the
Property to determine that there has been no significant change in the condition
of the Property, except for changes approved by Buyer.

provide Buyer, at Seller's cost (see Wisconsin Statutes Section. 703.20(2)),
complete, current copies of disclosure materials (organization and operational
documents, plans, financial statements, and in the case of a conversion
condominium property information) as required by Wisconsin Statutes Section.
703.33 no later than 15 days prior to closing and any amendment to these
materials promptly after its adoption (except as limited for small residential
condominiums per Wisconsin Statutes Section. 703.365). These materials are
available at cost from the condominium association. As provided in Wisconsin
Statutes Section. 703.33(4), Buyer may, within five business days after receipt
of these documents, including any material modification thereto, rescind this
Option by written notice mailed or delivered to Seller, the date of mailing or
actual delivery being the effective date of notice.

TITLE EVIDENCE

     FORM OF TITLE EVIDENCE: Seller shall give evidence of title in the form of
an owner's policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price on a
current ALTA form issued by an insurer licensed to write title insurance in
Wisconsin. CAUTION: IF TITLE EVIDENCE WILL BE GIVEN BY ABSTRACT, STRIKE TITLE
INSURANCE PROVISIONS AND INSERT ABSTRACT PROVISIONS.

     PROVISION OF MERCHANTABLE TITLE: Seller shall pay all costs of providing
title evidence. For purposes of closing, title evidence shall be acceptable if
the commitment for the required title insurance is delivered to Buyer's attorney
or Buyer not less than 3 business days before closing, showing title to the
Property as of a date no more than 15 days before delivery of such title
evidence to be merchantable, subject only to liens which will be paid out of the
proceeds of closing and standard title insurance requirements and exceptions, as
appropriate. CAUTION: BUYER SHOULD

<Page>

CONSIDER UPDATING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TITLE COMMITMENT PRIOR TO CLOSING OR
A "GAP ENDORSEMENT" WHICH WOULD INSURE OVER LIENS FILED BETWEEN THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THE COMMITMENT AND THE DATE THE DEED IS RECORDED.

     TITLE ACCEPTABLE FOR CLOSING: If title is not acceptable for closing, Buyer
shall notify Seller in writing of objections to title by the time set for
closing. In such event, Seller shall have a reasonable time, but not exceeding
15 days, to remove the objections, and the time for closing shall be extended as
necessary for this purpose. In the event that Seller is unable to remove said
objections, Buyer shall have 5 days from receipt of notice thereof, to deliver
written notice waiving the objections, and the time for closing shall be
extended accordingly. If Buyer does not waive the objections, this Option shall
be null and void. Providing title evidence acceptable for closing does not
extinguish Seller's obligations to give merchantable title to Buyer.

     SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Special assessments, if any, for work actually
commenced or levied prior to date this Option is exercised shall be paid by
Seller no later than closing. All other special assessments shall be paid by
Buyer. CAUTION: Consider a special agreement if area assessments, property
owners association assessments or other expenses are contemplated. "Other
expenses" are one-time charges or ongoing use fees for public improvements
(other than those resulting in special assessments) relating to curb, gutter,
street, sidewalk, sanitary and stormwater and storm sewer (including all sewer

facsimile machine (fax) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an
original document and the signature of any Party upon a document transmitted by
fax shall be considered an original signature. Personal delivery to, or actual

by the Party delivering the notice without the consent of the Party receiving
the notice. A Party may not unilaterally reinstate a contingency after a notice

agents of Buyer and Seller to distribute copies of the Option to Buyer's lender,
appraisers, title insurance companies and any other settlement service providers
for the transaction as defined by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
(RESPA).

diligence in completing the terms and conditions of the terms of purchase after
exercise of this Option. A material failure to perform any obligation under the

the defaulting party to liability for damages or other legal remedies.

depend upon the circumstances of the situation and the discretion of the courts.
If either Party defaults, the Parties may renegotiate the terms of purchase or
seek nonjudicial dispute resolution instead of the remedies outlined above. By
agreeing to binding arbitration, the Parties may lose the right to litigate in a
court of law those disputes covered by the arbitration agreement.
