all the conditions, contained in this Agreement. A copy of the Amended and

Closing (as defined below) upon execution and delivery of all documents
necessary to fully transfer and assign the Interest to Purchaser.

         3.       Survey, Title Insurance and Environmental Investigations. Any
survey, title insurance, environmental reports or other information needed to
investigate the Interest or the real estate and improvements underlying the
Interest, are the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. Any costs to obtain such
reports and information shall be at the sole cost of the Purchaser. Seller will
make copies of any existing documents that are in its possession available to
Purchaser upon execution.

         4.       Due Diligence. During the period that expires ten (10) days

DILIGENCE PERIOD"), Purchaser shall have the right to investigate all aspects of
the Interest.

         5.       Closing. The closing for Purchaser's purchase of the Interest
(the "CLOSING") shall take place within twelve (12) days after the end of the
Due Diligence Period, at a location and time to be agreed upon by the parties.

         6.       Conveyance. At Closing, Seller shall convey the Interest to
Purchaser by a fully executed Bill of Sale for the Interest, along with such
other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to fully effect
and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

         7.       Closing Costs. All closing fees or costs (if any) shall be
divided evenly between Seller and Purchaser.

         8.       Brokers. Both parties represent that they have not dealt with

indemnifies and holds the other party harmless from all loss, cost and expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of a breach of the

                  (b)      Purchaser shall make a good faith effort to satisfy
                           all conditions to Closing.

                  (c)      Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller, and its
                           beneficiaries, employees, directors, officers,
                           shareholders, agents, subsidiaries, affiliated
                           companies, successors and assigns, harmless from and
                           against any claims, proceedings, demand, judgments,
                           awards, penalties, liabilities, suits, settlements,
                           damages, losses, fines, costs and expenses of any
                           nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys'
                           fees, arising out of or in any way related to a
                           breach of any of the aforesaid representations. The
                           indemnity obligations provided in this Paragraph
                           shall survive the execution of this Agreement.

         13.      Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents
and warrants to Purchaser the truth and accuracy of each of the following:

                  (a)      Seller has all requisite power and authority to enter
                           into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
                           hereunder. Seller has not entered into any contract
                           (other than this Agreement) whereby the Interest may
                           be sold, conveyed, assigned or otherwise disposed of.

                  (b)      Seller shall make a good faith effort to satisfy all
                           conditions to Closing.

                  (c)      Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that, as
                           of the date of this Agreement, Seller alone owns the
                           Interest, free and clear of any restrictions or
                           limitations. Prior to Closing, Seller shall not, by
                           act or omission, permit any change to occur in the
                           status of the Interest. Notwithstanding the
                           foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the real
                           estate underlying the Interest is encumbered by a
                           $2,404,147.17 first mortgage to Mercantile Bank
                           Mortgage Company, of which the Seller has guaranteed
                           $535,000 of such loan.

                  (d)      Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, and its
                           beneficiaries, employees, directors, officers,
                           shareholders, agents, subsidiaries, affiliated
                           companies, successors and assigns, harmless from and
                           against any claims, proceedings, demands, judgments,
                           awards, penalties, liabilities, suits, settlements,
                           damages, losses, fines, costs and expenses of any
                           nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys'
                           fees, arising out of or in any way related to a
                           breach of any of the aforesaid representations. The
                           indemnity obligations provided in the Paragraph shall
                           survive the execution of this Agreement.

         14.      Performance. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. If
either party defaults in the due observance or performance of its obligations
hereunder, the other party may (i) terminate this Agreement, (ii) seek specific
performance, and (iii) pursue whatever other legal or equitable remedies which
may be available.

         15.      Entire Agreement, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement, and
all exhibits thereto, contain the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties, supersede all prior oral or written agreements (if any) between the
parties, and may not be amended or modified except by written consent of both
parties.

         16.      Further Assurances. The parties each agree to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and do all such further acts, instruments, and assurances,
and to take all such further action before or after the Closing as shall be
necessary or desirable to fully carry out this Agreement and to fully consummate
and effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
