Buyer Initial: /s/ PSM /s/ MMK
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN
It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that two
(2) copies of Co-Tenancy Agreement in the form attached hereto
duly executed by Buyer and AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited
Partnership and dated on escrow closing date be delivered to the
Seller on the closing date.
Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice, return receipt
requested, to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration of
the Review Period. Such notice shall be deemed effective only
upon receipt by Seller. If this Agreement is not cancelled as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.
If Buyer cancels this Agreement as permitted under this
Section, except for any escrow cancellation fees and any
liabilities under the first paragraph of section 6 of this
agreement (which will survive), Buyer (after execution of such
documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof) shall be returned its First Payment, and
Buyer will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of any
type in connection with the Property or this transaction,
regardless of any alleged conduct by Sellers or anyone else.
Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to the
terms hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment, Seller
shall be entitled to retain the First Payment and Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement.
Seller may, at its option, retain the First Payment and declare
this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed
to have canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and
to the Property or Sellers may exercise its rights under Section
14 hereof. If this Agreement is not canceled and the Second
Payment is made when required, all of Buyer's conditions and
contingencies will be deemed satisfied.
7. ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds deposited
in escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow holder will be a nationally-recognized escrow company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its rights
and duties (and the parties agree to sign these additional
instructions). If there is any conflict between these other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
8. TITLE. Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of a
title company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's policy of
title insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in an amount
equal to the purchase price, insuring that Buyer will own
insurable title to the Property subject only to: the title
company's standard exceptions; current real property taxes and
assessments; survey exceptions; the rights of parties in
possession pursuant to the lease defined in paragraph 11 below;
and other items of record disclosed to Buyer during the Review
Period.
Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of said
commitment for examination and the making of any objections to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in writing or
deemed waived. If any objections are so made, the Seller shall
be allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or in
the alternative to obtain a commitment for insurable title
insuring over Buyer's objections. If Sellers shall decide to
make no efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make
title marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution by
Buyer of such documents reasonably requested by Seller to
evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be
returned and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no
further force and effect. Seller has no obligation to spend any
funds or make any effort to satisfy Buyer's objections, if any.
Buyer Initial: /s/ PSM /s/ MMK
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN
Pending satisfaction of Buyer's objections, the payments
hereunder required shall be postponed, but upon satisfaction of
Buyer's objections and within ten (10) days after written notice
of satisfaction of Buyer's objections to the Buyer, the parties
shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.
9. CLOSING COSTS. Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees, the
cost of the title commitment and any brokerage commissions
payable. The Buyer will pay the cost of issuing a Standard
Owners Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price, if Buyer shall decide to purchase the same. Buyer will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Seller possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.) Each party will pay its own attorney's fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.
10. REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS.
(a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there
shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However,
Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all
real estate taxes and installments of special assessments
due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing
have been paid in full. Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
levied and pending special assessments existing on the date
of Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller
in proportion to their respective Tenant in Common
interests, pro-rated, however, to the date of closing for
the period prior to closing, which shall be the
responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay the same.
Seller and Buyer shall likewise pay all taxes due and
payable in the year after Closing and any unpaid
installments of special assessments payable therewith and
thereafter, if such unpaid levied and pending special
assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
of the Entire Property.
(b) All income and all operating expenses from the Entire
Property shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
by them as of the date of Closing. Seller shall be entitled
to all income earned and shall be responsible for all
expenses incurred prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer
shall be entitled to its proportionate share of all income
earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate share
of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on
and after the date of closing.
11. SELLER'S REPRESENTATION AND AGREEMENTS.
(a) Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:
(i) Except for the Lease Agreement in existence between AEI
Real Estate Fund XV Limited Partnership, AEI Real Estate
Fund XVII Limited Partnership, and Institutional Net Lease
Fund '93 Limited Partnership (as "Landlord") and Timber
Lodge Steakhouse, Inc. ("Tenant"), dated November 18, 1997,
Seller is not aware of any leases of the Property. The
above referenced lease agreement has an option to purchase
in favor of the Tenant as set forth in paragraph 33 of said
lease agreement.
(ii) It is not aware of any pending litigation or
condemnation proceedings against the Property or Seller's
interest in the Property.
(iii) Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and as
permitted in paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware of any
contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
after the closing date.
(b) Provided that Buyer performs its obligations when
required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any new
contracts that would materially affect the Property and be
binding
Buyer Initial: /s/ PSM /s/ MMK
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN
on Buyer after the Closing Date without Buyer's prior
consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. However,
Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains the right both prior
to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer all or a
portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in the
Entire Property, provided such sale shall not encumber the
Property being purchased by Buyer in violation of the terms
hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.
12. DISCLOSURES.
(a) Seller has not received any notice of any material,
physical, or mechanical defects of the Entire Property,
including without limitation, the plumbing, heating, air
conditioning, ventilating, electrical system. To the best of
Seller's knowledge without inquiry, all such items are in
good operating condition and repair and in compliance with
all applicable governmental, zoning, and land use laws,
ordinances, regulations and requirements. If Seller shall
receive any notice to the contrary prior to Closing, Seller
will inform Buyer prior to Closing.
(b) Seller has not received any notice that the use and
operation of the Entire Property is not in full compliance
with applicable building codes, safety, fire, zoning, and
land use laws, and other applicable local, state and federal
laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. If Seller
shall receive any notice to the contrary prior to Closing,
Seller will inform Buyer prior to Closing.
(c) Seller knows of no facts nor has Seller failed to
disclose to Buyer any fact known to Seller which would
prevent the Tenant from using and operating the Entire
Property after the Closing in the manner in which the Entire
Property has been used and operated prior to the date of
this Agreement. If Seller shall receive any notice to the
contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform Buyer prior to
Closing.

Property is in violation of any federal, state or local law,

there is no proceeding or inquiry by any governmental
authority with respect to the presence of Hazardous
Materials on the Entire Property or the migration of
Hazardous Materials from or to other property. Buyer agrees
that Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer or
Buyer's successors, assigns, or affiliates in connection
with any Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the
Entire Property after the Closing Date. Seller shall
indemnify Buyer for any liability arising due to Hazardous

in its then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
has no obligations to construct or repair any improvements
thereon or to perform any other act regarding the Property,
except as expressly provided herein.
(f) Buyer acknowledges that, having been given the
opportunity to inspect the Entire Property and such
financial information on the Lessee and Guarantors of the

of the Property and not on any information provided by
Seller or to be provided except as set forth herein. Buyer
further acknowledges that the information provided and to be
provided by Seller with respect to the Property, the Entire
Property and to the Lessee and Guarantors of Lease was
obtained from a variety of sources and Seller neither (a)
has made independent investigation or verification of such
information,

or (b) makes any representations as to the accuracy or
completeness of such information except as herein set forth.
The sale of the Property as provided for herein is made on
an "AS IS" basis, and Buyer expressly acknowledges that, in
consideration of the agreements of Seller herein, except as
otherwise specified herein in paragraph 11(a) and (b) above
and this paragraph 12, Seller makes no Warranty or
representation, Express or Implied, or arising by operation
of law, including, but not limited to, any warranty of
condition, habitability, tenantability, suitability for
commercial purposes, merchantability, or fitness for a
particular purpose, in respect of the Property.
The provisions (d) - (f) above shall survive Closing.
13. CLOSING.
(a) Before the closing date, Seller will deposit into

the purchase price deposited into escrow by cashier's check
or wire transfer (less debits and prorations, if any);
deliver to Seller and Buyer a signed counterpart of the

14. DEFAULTS. If Buyer defaults, Buyer will forfeit all rights
and claims and Seller will be relieved of all obligations and
will be entitled to retain all monies heretofore paid by the
Buyer. In addition, Seller shall retain all remedies available
to Seller at law or in equity.
If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim, action or proceeding of any type in connection with the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and will not do anything to affect title to the Property or

to the direction of San Francisco Bay Exchange Service, Seller
will deed the Property to Buyer.
