<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(e)&nbsp;All of the foregoing documents shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to
Seller and TCF.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">4.&nbsp;<U>Acreage Verification</U>. TCF shall have the right in its sole and absolute
discretion, at any time prior to Closing to independently verify the number of acres contained
within any or all parcels of land comprising the Real Property. In the event TCF determines by a
boundary survey prepared and sealed by a Delaware licensed surveyor (the &#147;Survey&#148;), that the
acreage for any parcel comprising a portion of the Real Property is less than the acreage
attributed to that parcel as set forth in Exhibit&nbsp;A, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the product of (a)&nbsp;the difference between the acreage attributed to that parcel, as
set forth in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A minus the number of acres contained within
that parcel of the Real Property as verified by the Survey multiplied by (b)&nbsp;per acre value
allocated to that parcel in the Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A. In the event TCF
determines by the Survey, that the acreage for any parcel comprising a portion of the Real Property
is more than the acreage attributed to that parcel, as set forth in the Schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit&nbsp;A, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (a)&nbsp;the
difference between the number of acres contained within that parcel of the Real Property as
verified by the Survey minus the acreage attributed for that parcel as set forth in the Schedule
attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A multiplied by (b)&nbsp;per acre value allocated to that parcel as set forth
in the Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A, provided however, that if the Purchase Price is
increased by more than $250,000 the Seller may elect to readjust the Purchase Price so as not to
exceed $18,500,000. If the Seller does not elect to maintain the $250,000 cap on the Purchase
Price increase, then TCF may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money
shall be returned to TCF and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">5. <U>Title</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(a)&nbsp;Seller agrees to convey to TCF or to one or more assignees or designees selected in
writing by TCF prior to Closing, good and marketable fee simple title to the Real Property at the
Closing by special warranty deed, subject only to those matters set forth above in Paragraph&nbsp;3 (b).
The Seller acknowledges and agrees that at Closing portions of the Property may be conveyed direct
from Seller to one more assignees or designees selected in writing in advance by TCF.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(b)&nbsp;TCF and the Permitted Assignees shall have the right to obtain, at their sole cost and
expense, a commitment for an owner&#146;s policy or policies of title insurance issued by a title
company of TCF&#146;s choosing (the &#147;Title Company&#148;) having an insured amount equal to the Purchase
Price (the &#147;Title Commitment&#148;). TCF and the Permitted Assignees will have from the date of this
Agreement until November&nbsp;1, 2004 (as the same may be extended pursuant to paragraph 6 below, the
&#147;Inspection Period&#148;) to examine the title to the Real Property and furnish to Seller, via TCF,
written notice of any objections to Seller&#146;s title to the Real Property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, TCF agrees, without prejudicing its rights to raise objections until the expiration of
the Inspection Period, that TCF will use reasonable efforts to advise the Seller of defects when
TCF determines a defect exists. Upon full execution of this Agreement, Seller will make available
to TCF, its contractors, agents and representatives copies of all documents, agreements, title
commitments, reports and policies, environmental assessments and reports, maps and surveys, and any
other documentation or information in Seller&#146;s possession that relate to the Real Property. TCF
shall also have the right to object to any title exceptions created or suffered between the date of
the Title Commitment and the date of the Closing. Any title objections raised by TCF shall be
provided on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period by written notice to Seller
accompanied with a copy of that portion of the Title Commitment and all supplemental title
documents evidencing and describing the nature of the title objection. Seller will have the right,
but not the obligation, to cure or remove at or prior to the Closing all objections to Seller&#146;s
title to the Real Property. In the event that TCF fails to give notice to Seller on or before the
expiration of the Inspection Period of TCF&#146;s objection to any exception to Seller&#146;s title to the
Real Property as revealed in the Title Commitment, then such exception will be deemed to be a
&#147;Permitted Encumbrance&#148;. In the event that TCF gives such notice of objection to any such
exception and Seller fails or elects not to cure or remove such exception at or prior to the
Closing, TCF, at its sole option, may elect either of the following:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">(i)&nbsp;waive the objection and proceed to Closing; or



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(ii)&nbsp;subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5(d) below, delete the portion of
the Real Property subject to any such uncured or unremoved exception from the Real Property
conveyed by Seller at Closing, and the Purchase Price will be reduced by an amount equal to
the product of the number of acres contained within such deleted portion multiplied by the
per acre value allocated to the parcel of Real Property from which the deleted portion of
the Real Property is derived, as set forth in the Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(c)&nbsp;So long as this contract remains in force, Seller will not enter into any new lease,
modify or renew any existing lease or encumber or convey all or part of the Real Property or any
interest therein (including timber rights), or enter into any agreement granting to any person any
right with respect to the Real Property or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent
of TCF.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(d)&nbsp;The parties acknowledge that the deletion by TCF from the transaction of any real property
pursuant to Paragraphs 5(b) or 7 hereof (the &#147;Excluded Acres&#148;) may require a subdivision of such
Excluded Acres from certain other tracts TCF intends to acquire at Closing. Seller shall retain at
Closing such Excluded Acres and the least amount of acreage contiguous with such Excluded Acres as
is necessary to create a legal parcel for which no subdivision is required (the &#147;Additional Acres&#148;)
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph&nbsp;5(d), the Purchase Price will be reduced on account of
Seller&#146;s retention of the Additional Acres by an amount equal to the product of the number of acres
contained within the Additional Acres multiplied by the quotient of the Purchase Price divided by
the acreage contained in the Real Property as determined in accordance with Paragraph&nbsp;4 above<B>.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">6.&nbsp;<U>Inspection</U>. TCF will have from the date of this Agreement until the expiration of
the Inspection Period (November&nbsp;1, 2004) to inspect the Real Property and, among other things, to
perform timber cruises, environmental evaluations, establish and confirm for valuation purposes the
level and scope of the development potential (including wetland delineations), review Leases,
obtain appraisals and establish values, and verify compliance with applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations. TCF and its agents, representatives, employees, engineers and contractors will have
the right to enter upon the Real Property upon prior telephonic notice to Seller through its
authorized representative, Thomas V. Bosley (telephone: 717-225-4711 ext. 2577), to inspect,
examine, survey and make test borings, soil bearing tests, timber cruises and other engineering
tests or surveys which it may deem necessary or advisable. Within ten (10)&nbsp;days of Seller&#146;s
request and prior to entry onto the Real Property, TCF shall deliver to Seller certificates of
commercial general liability insurance with coverage amounts not less than $1,000,000 on an
occurrence basis showing Seller as an additional insured thereunder. TCF hereby agrees to return
the Real Property to substantially the same condition that existed prior to Purchaser&#146;s activities.
TCF further agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any and all cost and expense
resulting from claims or damages caused by said inspections, examinations and tests, except for
claims arising from negligence or misconduct of the Seller and its employees, agents and
contractors. Upon full execution of this Agreement, Seller will make available to TCF, its agents,
contractors and representatives, at Seller&#146;s offices all non-privileged, non-proprietary materials
relating to the Real Property in the possession of Seller or its agents or attorneys, including
without limitation, maps, charts, existing surveys, timber cruises, previous deeds, leases,
reports, timber type maps, timber inventories, soil maps, growth and yield information, and harvest
schedules relating to the Real Property. In the event TCF, after using commercially reasonable
efforts, is not able to complete its due diligence inspections of the Property prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period, TCF shall have the right, upon written notice to Seller
delivered prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to extend the Inspection Period for an
additional ten (10)&nbsp;days. In the event TCF or the Permitted Assignees in their sole and absolute
discretion are not satisfied for any reason whatsoever with the Property or the viability of
proceeding with the Closing of this transaction, then TCF may terminate this Agreement by
delivering written notice to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
whereupon Escrow Agent shall release fifty percent (50%) of the Earnest Money to TCF and fifty
percent (50%) of the Earnest Money to the Seller, and no party will have any further rights, duties
or obligations under this Agreement other than those which expressly survive a termination hereof<B>.</B>
In such event, TCF shall promptly deliver to Seller, without representation or warranty, copies of
all title materials, environmental reports and other third party reports (other than any appraisal
or cruise results) obtained by TCF in connection with its inspections or investigations of the
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TCF agrees, without prejudicing its rights to raise
objections until the expiration of the Inspection Period, that TCF will use reasonable efforts to
advise the Seller of defects when TCF determines a defect exists.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">7.&nbsp;<U>Environmental Audit</U>. TCF will have the right at any time before the expiration of
the Inspection Period to perform or cause to be performed<B>, </B>at TCF&#146;s expense, a non-invasive
environmental audit or assessment of the Real Property. In the event that such audit or assessment
reveals that (i)&nbsp;any portion of the Real Property has ever been used as a landfill to receive solid
wastes; (ii)&nbsp;has been affected by or contains any underground storage tank or storage facility;
(iii)&nbsp;has ever been used for dumping, discharge, treatment, storage of hazardous wastes or
hazardous substances; or (iv)&nbsp;is in violation of any law, ordinance, notice requirement, rule or
regulation because of its environmental and/or ecological condition or (v)&nbsp;located within five
hundred (500)&nbsp;yards of a parcel of land that is in violation of any environmental law, ordinance,
rule or regulation (in each instance, an &#147;Environmental Defect&#148;), TCF shall promptly notify Seller
in writing of the existence of the Environmental Defect, on or before the expiration of the
Inspection Period, which notice shall contain a copy of that portion of the environmental audit,
assessment or report forming the basis for TCF&#146;s objection. If the Seller is unable or unwilling to
remediate the Environmental Defect to TCF&#146;s reasonable satisfaction prior to Closing, TCF may
delete that tract of the Real Property impacted by the Environmental Defect from the Real Property
to be conveyed by Seller to TCF or its assigns or designees, in which case the Purchase Price shall
be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the number of acres contained within such deleted
tract multiplied by the per acre value allocated to the parcel of Real Property from which the
deleted tract of the Real Property is derived, as set forth in the Schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit&nbsp;A. Within five days of receipt of notice of an Environmental Defect, the Seller may at its
election, adjourn the Closing until the date which is twenty (20)&nbsp;days after the scheduled Closing
Date to allow the parties adequate time to properly document and complete the remediation or
resolution of the Environmental Defect<B>.</B>



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">8. <U>Condition of Property; Damage; Condemnation</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(a)&nbsp;Seller agrees that at the Closing the Property will be in substantially the same condition
as exists on the date hereof, subject to condemnation and casualties beyond Seller&#146;s control, and
that Seller shall neither use nor consent to any use of the Property for any purpose or in any
manner that is inconsistent with the Purchaser&#146;s acquisition or intended use of the Property as a
conservation area. This covenant expressly precludes the harvest of any timber and mining
activities on the Real Property.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(b)&nbsp;If at any time prior to the Closing, the Real Property or any material part thereof
(including, but not limited to, any timber or trees which are included as part of the Property) is
destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, then TCF shall purchase the Property, whereupon the
Purchase Price will be reduced as mutually agreed by Seller and TCF, or, in the event such parties
are unable to agree within fifteen (15)&nbsp;days after TCF&#146;s receipt of notice of the occurrence of
such damage or destruction, the Purchase Price will be adjusted by an amount established by a panel
of independent forestry consultants: one selected by the Seller; one selected by TCF; and the
third selected by the other two independent forestry consultants. TCF&#146;s option under this
paragraph 8(b) will be exercisable at any time on or before fifteen (15)&nbsp;days after TCF&#146;s receipt
of notice of the occurrence of such damage or destruction and the date of Closing will be extended
to the extent necessary to permit the exercise of such option by TCF and the determination of the
Purchase Price reduction. For purposes of this paragraph 8(b), a &#147;material&#148; part of the Property
shall mean damage to the Property prior to Closing having an aggregate value, in TCF&#146;s good faith
estimate, equal to or exceeding $125,000.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(c)&nbsp;If at any time prior to the Closing, any action or proceeding is filed or threatened under
which the Real Property or any part thereof may be taken pursuant to any law, ordinance or
regulation by condemnation or the right of eminent domain, then TCF shall purchase the Real
Property pursuant to this Agreement, notwithstanding such action or proceeding, and receive a
credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all proceeds of any awards paid to Seller with
respect to the Real Property, or if such amounts have not been paid to Seller as of the Closing,
Seller shall assign all of its rights to any such proceeds or awards.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">9. <U>Warranties and Representations</U>.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(xiii)&nbsp;To Seller&#146;s actual knowledge, the present use of the Real Property does
not pose a danger to any Endangered Species, Critical Habitat or Habitat that would
expose TCF to any liability under any applicable federal, state or local laws. For
purposes of this warranty, the terms &#147;Endangered Species&#148;, &#147;Critical Habitat&#148; and
&#147;Habitat&#148; mean any such animal, vegetation, flora, fauna, other wildlife, ecosystem
or geographic region as defined by cumulative reference to the following sources as
amended from time to time: (i)&nbsp;the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 USC &#167;1531,
<U>et seq</U>.; (ii)&nbsp;the applicable law of the State of Delaware, and (iii)&nbsp;any
federal, state or local regulations, rules, or orders issued or promulgated under or
pursuant to any of the foregoing or otherwise by any department, agency or other
administrative, regulatory or judicial body.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(xiv)&nbsp;Seller hereby certifies that the sale of the Property does not represent
a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Except for the foregoing representations and warranties, the Property is being conveyed
hereunder as-is, where-is, without any representations or warranties, express or implied. All
warranties and representations will be true as of the date of this Agreement and, as of the date of
the Closing. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period
of twelve (12)&nbsp;months from and after the Closing Date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(b)&nbsp;Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TCF and its successors and assigns
from and against any liability, cost, damage, loss, claim, expense or cause of action (including
but not limited to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and court costs) incurred by or filed against TCF as
a direct result of any breach of any of the warranties or representations by Seller contained in
this paragraph 9. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12)
months after the Closing Date; provided, however, such indemnity shall continue with respect to any
breach of warranty or representation by Seller for which TCF has asserted a claim against Seller
during such twelve (12)&nbsp;month period.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">(c)&nbsp;TCF hereby warrants and represents to Seller as follows:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(i)&nbsp;TCF is a non-profit corporation organized in accordance with Section

<BR>
(iii)&nbsp;This Agreement has been duly executed by TCF and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of TCF, enforceable against TCF in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors&#146; rights generally and the discretion of the courts with
respect to equitable remedies.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">10.&nbsp;<U>Brokerage Commission</U>. Seller and TCF each warrant and represent to the other that
neither has incurred any liability for any brokerage fee or commission in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. Seller and TCF each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any and all
damage, loss, liability, expense and claim (including but not limited to attorneys&#146; fees and court
costs) arising with respect to any such fee or commission which may be suffered by the indemnified
party by reason of any action or agreement of the indemnifying party.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">11. <U>Taxes; Expenses</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(a)&nbsp;Ad valorem real property taxes on the Real Property, special assessments, utility charges
(if any) and all rental payments with respect to the Leases will be prorated as of the date of
Closing. If actual tax bills for the calendar year of Closing are not available, said taxes will
be prorated based on tax bills for the previous calendar year and the parties hereto agree to cause
a reproration of said taxes upon the receipt of tax bills for the calendar year of Closing. Seller
will pay all timber taxes, severance taxes and any other taxes imposed with respect to timbering
operations on the Real Property prior to the date of Closing and all income and/or capital gains
taxes attributable to the sale of the Real Property, if any. Seller shall be responsible for any
&#147;roll back&#148; taxes or similar taxes that relate to periods prior to the Closing and arise as a
direct result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. TCF shall be
responsible for any &#147;roll back&#148; taxes or similar taxes imposed due to a change in the use of the
Real Property by TCF after the Closing<B>. </B>TCF acknowledges receipt of the notification and
Application for Forest Land Tax Exemption attached hereto as Exhibit &#147;C&#148;.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(b)&nbsp;TCF will pay the cost of TCF&#146;s inspection of the Real Property, the costs of the title

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">12.&nbsp;<U>Conditions</U>. Unless waived by TCF, the obligations of TCF under this Agreement are
expressly made subject to the fulfillment in all respects of the following conditions precedent:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(i)&nbsp;the truth and accuracy in all material respects as of the date of the
Closing of each and every warranty and representation herein made by Seller;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(ii)&nbsp;Seller&#146;s timely performance of and compliance with each and every term,
condition, agreement, restriction and obligation to be performed and complied with
by Seller under this Agreement; and



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(iii)&nbsp;TCF&#146;s receipt at Closing of an owner&#146;s policy of title insurance in the
amount of the Purchase Price and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to TCF.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">In the event any of the above conditions are not satisfied on or before Closing, TCF will have
the right, exercisable at TCF&#146;s sole election, to cancel this Agreement whereupon Escrow Agent
shall return the Earnest Money to TCF and neither party hereto will have any further rights or
obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing if TCF is otherwise unable for any other
reason to raise by the Closing the Purchase Price for acquisition of the Real Property as
contemplated herein or otherwise fails to proceed to Closing after all contingencies have expired
or been removed, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid by the
Escrow Agent to the Seller and neither party hereto will have any further rights or obligation
hereunder.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">13. <U>Default; Remedies; Escrow Agent</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(a)&nbsp;If the purchase and sale of the Real Property is not consummated because of a breach by
TCF in the performance or observance by TCF of any of its material covenants or obligations under
this Agreement, then Escrow Agent shall pay the Earnest Money to Seller as full liquidated damages
(the parties hereto acknowledging that Seller&#146;s damages as a result of such default are not capable
of exact ascertainment and that said liquidated damages are fair and reasonable), said remedy being
Seller&#146;s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder on account of any default by TCF, whereupon this
Agreement will terminate and neither party will have any further rights, duties or obligations
hereunder, other than those which expressly survive a termination hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;If the purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby is not consummated because of
a breach by Seller in the performance or observance by Seller of any of its material covenants or
obligations under this Agreement, then TCF shall be entitled either to damages in an amount equal
to TCF&#146;s actual out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, which amount shall not exceed $100,000, or seek specific performance of this
Agreement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">(c)&nbsp;The duties of Escrow Agent will be as follows:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 7%">(i)&nbsp;During the term of this Agreement, Escrow Agent will hold the Earnest
Money, upon the delivery by TCF to Escrow Agent of the same, in an interest bearing
account approved by TCF and will deliver the Earnest Money in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 7%">(ii)&nbsp;If this Agreement is terminated without the mutual written agreement of
Seller and TCF, or if Escrow Agent is unable to determine at any time to whom the
Earnest Money should be delivered, or if a dispute develops between Seller and TCF
concerning to whom the Earnest Money should be delivered, then in any such event,
Escrow Agent will request joint written instructions from Seller and TCF and will
deliver the Earnest Money in accordance with such joint written instructions. In
the event that such written instructions are not received by Escrow Agent within ten
(10)&nbsp;days after Escrow Agent has served a written request for instructions upon
Seller and TCF, Escrow Agent will have the right to pay the Earnest Money into a
court of competent jurisdiction and interplead Seller and TCF in respect thereof,
and thereafter Escrow Agent will be discharged of any obligations in connection with
this Agreement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 7%">(iii)&nbsp;If costs or expenses are incurred by Escrow Agent because of litigation
or a dispute between Seller and TCF arising out of the holding of the Earnest Money
in escrow, Seller and TCF will each pay Escrow Agent one-half of such reasonable and
direct costs and expenses. Except for such costs and expenses, no fee or charge
will be due or payable to Escrow Agent for its services as escrow holder.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 7%">(iv)&nbsp;By joining herein, Escrow Agent undertakes only to perform the duties and
obligations imposed upon it under the terms of this contract and expressly does not
undertake to perform any of the other covenants, terms and provisions incumbent upon
Seller and TCF hereunder.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">(b)&nbsp;TCF and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that Escrow Agent assumes no liability in
connection herewith except for gross negligence or willful misconduct; that Escrow Agent will never
be responsible for the validity, correctness or genuineness of any document or notice referred to
under this Agreement; and that Escrow Agent may seek advice from its own counsel and will be fully
protected in any action taken by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion of its counsel.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">14.&nbsp;<U>Assignment</U>. Prior to Closing, TCF will have the right to assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, subject to the prior written approval of the
Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TCF may assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part to the State of Delaware or
The Heartwood Forestland Fund IV, Limited Partnership (the &#147;Permitted Assignees&#148;), without the need
for further approval by the Seller. Upon such assignment TCF will be relieved of liability
hereunder, provided the Earnest Money Deposit is either retained in escrow with the Escrow Agent,
or replaced by an equivalent amount paid by the assignee to the Escrow Agent. Contemporaneously
with the Closing, TCF shall have the right to assign the provisions of this Agreement which survive
the Closing, in whole or in part, to the ultimate title holders of the Property including, without
limitation, an entity of the State of Delaware or The Heartwood Forestland Group Limited
Partnership, provided that the ultimate title holders assume said provisions which survive Closing.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">15.&nbsp;<U>No Waiver</U>. No action or failure to act by any party hereto will constitute a
waiver of any right or duty afforded to such party under this Agreement, nor will any such action
or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach of this Agreement except
as may be specifically agreed in writing.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">16.&nbsp;<U>Governing Law</U>. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">17.&nbsp;<U>Notice</U>. Any and all notices, elections and communications required or permitted
by this Agreement will be made or given in writing and will be delivered in person, sent by

hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be amended or supplemented except by a
written agreement signed by all parties.

legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or sentence in
every other respect and of the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or
sentences of this contract, will not be in any way impaired, it being the intention of the parties
that this contract will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

hereto have executed this contract.
