                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                 June 29, 1997

(1) The accompanying financial statements included herein have been prepared by
    Michigan Brewery, Inc. (the Company), without audit, in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
    and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
    in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
    and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made
    are adequate to make the information not misleading. 

    The unaudited balance sheet as of June 29, 1997 and the unaudited
    statements of operations for the three and the six months ended June 29,
    1997 and the unaudited statement of cash flows for the six months ended
    June 29, 1997 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
    consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
    presentation of the financial results for the respective interim periods
    and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected
    for the entire fiscal year ending December 28, 1997.  The accompanying
    interim financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that
    users of the interim financial information have either read, or have access
    to, the audited financial statements and notes in the Company's Form 10-KSB
    for the year ended December 29, 1996.  Accordingly, footnote disclosures
    which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the
    December 29, 1996 audited financial statements have been omitted from these
    interim financial statements except for the disclosures below.  It is
    suggested that these interim financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
    the Company's 1996 Annual Report and Form 10-KSB.

(2) On June 13, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
    a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 relating to the initial public
    offering of 2,450,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common
    stock and one redeemable Class A Warrant.  Following the effective date of
    the Registration Statement, the Company issued 2,450,000 units at $5.00 per
    unit and the Company received net proceeds of $11.0 million on June 18,
    1996.  The financial statements reflect the effect of this offering net of
    transaction related expenses.

    On July 25, 1996, the underwriters exercised a portion of their
    overallotment option and the Company issued 100,000 additional units at
    $5.00 per unit.  The Company received net proceeds of $447,500 on July 30,
    1996.

(3) As of June 29, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
    income tax purposes of approximately $1.4 million.  These net operating
    loss carryforwards expire in the year 2012.  Because of the lack of
    profitability, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the net
    deferred tax asset.

(4) The Company will adopt in fiscal year ending December 28, 1997, Statement
    of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No.
    128), which was issued in February 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires disclosure
    of basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS, which replaces the
    existing primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, as defined by APB No. 15. 
    Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
    of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year.  Dilutive EPS is
    computed similar 

                                      4

<PAGE>

    to primary EPS as previously reported, provided that, when applying the 
    treasury stock method to common equivalent shares, the Company must use 
    its average share price for the period rather than the more dilutive 
    greater of the average share price or end-of-period share price required 
    by APB No. 15.

(5) The Company opened its second microbrewery/restaurant on March 17, 1997, in
    Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is continuing construction on its third
    location in Auburn Hills, Michigan, which is scheduled to open in the fall
    of 1997.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

This discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking terminology such
as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and "intends," or comparable
terminology.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. 
Potential purchasers of the Company's securities are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their
entirety by the cautions and risks described herein.  Please refer to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 28, 1997, for additional
factors known to the Company that may cause actual results to vary.

OVERVIEW

The Company was capitalized in 1994 to develop, own and operate 
microbrewery/restaurants with the name Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse (Big 
Buck Breweries).  Until May 1995 when the Gaylord Brewery opened, the Company 
had no operations or revenues and its activities were devoted solely to 
development.

Future revenues and profits will depend upon various factors, including market
acceptance of Big Buck Breweries and general economic conditions.  The Company's
present sources of revenue are the Gaylord and Grand Rapids Breweries.  There
can be no assurances that the Company will successfully implement its expansion
plans, in which case the Company will continue to be dependent on the revenues
from the Gaylord and Grand Rapids Breweries.  The Company also faces all of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the
expansion and development of a new business.  Furthermore, to the extent that
the Company's expansion strategy is successful, it must manage the transition to
multiple site, higher volume operations, control increased overhead expenses and
hire additional personnel.

The Company's sales and earnings are expected to fluctuate based on seasonal
patterns.  The Company anticipates that its highest earnings will occur in the
second and third quarters.  Quarterly results in the future are likely to be
substantially affected by the timing of new Big Buck Brewery openings.  Because
of the seasonality of the Company's business and the impact of new Big Buck
Brewery openings, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to
indicate financial performance for the entire year.

The Company closed on the purchase of the Grand Rapids Brewery site on December
2, 1996 for $1.4 million.  The site includes an existing structure of
approximately 8,200 square feet and is located on 28th Street in Grand Rapids. 
Seating capacity is approximately 250 for restaurant and bar combined.  The
Grand Rapids Brewery opened on March 17, 1997.

On August 29, 1996, the Company purchased a 6.1 acre site on Opdyke Road in
Auburn Hills, Michigan for $2.65 million.  The site is just off of Interstate 75
at exit 79.  The new facility will encompass 26,372 square feet including
brewery, bar and restaurant.  Seating capacity in the 

                                      5

<PAGE>

restaurant and bar will be just under 650.  Construction began in late 
December 1996 after receiving final approval from the city of Auburn Hills.  
The Company anticipates opening this Brewery during the third quarter of 1997.

The Company completed the sale and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land and
building on April 11, 1997 to an unrelated third party for $1.4 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996

REVENUES

Revenues increased $723,593 to $1,775,601 in the quarter ended June 29, 1997 
from $1,052,008 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended 
June 29, 1997, revenues increased $949,856 to $2,892,353 from $1,942,497 for 
the comparable period in 1996.  This increase is attributable to the opening 
of the Grand Rapids Brewery on March 17, 1997.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales, which consists of food, merchandise and brewery supplies,
increased $240,369 to $614,392 in the second quarter of 1997 from the second
quarter of 1996 and increased $250,734 to $979,013 for the six months ended June
29, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues,
cost of sales decreased to 34.6% in the second quarter of 1997 from 35.6% for
the second quarter of 1996 and decreased to 33.8% for the six months ended June
29, 1997 from 37.5% for the comparable period in 1996.  The percentage decreases
are the result of effective purchasing, menu pricing and improved kitchen
management.

RESTAURANT SALARIES AND BENEFITS

Restaurant salaries and benefits, which consist of restaurant management and
hourly employee wages and benefits, payroll taxes and workers' compensation
insurance, increased $187,736 to $504,663 in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to the second quarter in 1996 and increased $231,740 to $827,206 for the six
months ended June 29, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  As a percentage
of revenues, restaurant salaries and benefits decreased to 28.4% in the second
quarter of 1997 compared to 30.1% in 1996, and decreased to 28.6% for the six
months ended June 29, 1997 compared to 30.7% for the comparable period in 1996. 
These decreases are due to more experienced staff, improved scheduling and a
reduction in workers' compensation insurance premiums.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses, which include supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
advertising and occupancy costs, increased $108,548 to $369,830 in the second
quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996, and increased $102,568
to $685,753 for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from the comparable period in
1996.  As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 20.8% in the
second quarter of 1997 from 24.8% for the second quarter in 1996, and decreased
to 23.7% for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from 30.0% for the same period
in 1996.  These decreases are due to a continued emphasis on cost controls,
improved management and a reduction in insurance premiums.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased $156,576 to $350,758 in the second
quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter in 1996, and increased $380,283
to $711,674 for the six months ended June 29, 1997 compared to the same period
in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, these expenses have increased to 19.8% in
the second quarter of 1997 from 18.5% for the same quarter of 1996, and
increased to 24.6% for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from 17.1% for the
comparable period in 1996.  The increased expenses reflect the additional
corporate overhead associated with personnel additions in training, marketing
and senior management hired to execute the Company's development plans.  As
additional Breweries are opened by the Company these expenses as a percentage of
revenues are expected to decrease.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $12,316 to $129,179 in the
second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996, and decreased
$22,052 to $226,095 for the six months ended June 29, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 7.3%
in the second quarter of 1997 from 13.4% for the same quarter in 1996 and
decreased to 7.8% for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from 12.8% for the
comparable period in 1996.  The decreases in these expenses are the result of
full amortization in 1996 of financing costs 

                                      7

<PAGE>

related to the bridge financing which took place in early 1996.  The amount 
of this decrease in amortization more than offset the increase in pre-opening 
costs and depreciation from the opening of the Grand Rapids Brewery.

INTEREST EXPENSES/INTEREST INCOME

Interest expense decreased $34,226 to $91,442 in the second quarter of 1997
compared to second quarter of 1996, and decreased $60,854 to $150,383 for the
period ended June 29, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  As a percentage
of revenues interest expense decreased to 5.1% in the second quarter of 1997
from 11.9% for the same period in 1996, and decreased to 5.2% for the six months
ending June 29, 1997 from 10.9% for the comparable period in 1996.  The
decreases are due to the fact that the pre-bridge and bridge financings were
paid off during 1996 with the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

Interest income increased $10,226 to $29,800 in the second quarter of 1997
compared to $19,574 for the second quarter of 1996, and increased $52,987 to
$77,723 for the six months ended June 29, 1997 compared to $24,736 for the same
period in 1996.  The increase in interest income is due to the additional time
during which the remaining proceeds from the Company's initial public offering
were invested.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company used $532,768 in cash for the six months ended June 29, 1997, and
used $746,106 in cash for the six months ended June 30, 1996, for operating
activities.  At June 29, 1997, the Company had working capital of $1.0 million. 
The Company expects that it will use a significant portion of its capital
resources to fund new Brewery development and construction.  Since inception,
the Company's principal capital requirements have been the funding of (i) the
Company and the Big Buck Brewery format and (ii) the construction of the Gaylord
and Grand Rapids Breweries and the acquisition of its furniture, fixtures and
equipment for such Breweries.  Total capital expenditures for the Gaylord and
the Grand Rapids Breweries were approximately $5.8 million and $3.2 million,
respectively.

The Company generated approximately $5.0 million in cash from the financing
activities as a result of the sales of short term investments and proceeds from
the sale and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land and building during the six
months ended June 29, 1997.  The Company used approximately $4.4 million in cash
for construction and equipment costs at the Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills
Breweries during the first two quarters of 1997.

In July 1995, the Company secured a $1.9 million mortgage on the Gaylord
Brewery's land and building and a $800,000 equipment loan.  These notes are
subject to monthly payments of principal and interest at 10.2% per annum and are
payable in full by October 1,2000.  These notes are collateralized by all assets
of the Company and are guaranteed by certain shareholders. 

The Company opened the Grand Rapids Brewery on March 17, 1997.  The cost of the
land, building, remodeling, equipment and furniture and fixtures were
approximately $3.2 million.  On April 11, 1997, the Company completed the sale
and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land and building.  The Company anticipates it
will develop and open the Auburn Hills Brewery and one additional Big Buck
Brewery during the remainder of 1997.  The Auburn Hills Brewery is estimated to
cost approximately $8.8 million when completed, including land.  As of June 29,
1997, $5.5 million had been spent on land, construction and equipment deposits
for the Auburn Hills Brewery.  The remaining Brewery to be opened in 1997 is
anticipated to be a leased facility and is expected to cost between $1.3 and
$1.5 million for equipment and leasehold improvements.

                                      8

<PAGE>

The Company has obtained real estate financing for a range from $3.0 million to
$4.0 million of the cost of developing and opening the new Breweries pursuant to
a sale and leaseback of the Auburn Hills site.  The exact amount of such
financing will be determined when final construction is completed at the Auburn
Hills Brewery.  While the Company continues to seek additional sources of
financing for future Breweries, the Company believes that the remaining net
proceeds of the initial public offering, together with financing pursuant to the
Auburn Hills sale/leaseback, will be sufficient to finance the Company's 1997
expansion plans, depending on the definitive locations, site conditions,
construction costs and size and types of Breweries built.  There are no
assurances that any additional financing will be available on terms acceptable
or favorable to the Company, or at all.  Without such additional financing, the
Company's development plans will be slower than planned or even unachievable.

ITEM 5.  Other Information

On August 1, 1997, the Company entered into a real estate purchase and leaseback
agreement providing for the sale of the Auburn Hills site, including all
improvements thereto, to an unrelated third party, Michael G. Eyde.  The
agreement provides for financing at one of three possible levels ranging from
$3.0 to $4.0 million.  Such price (the "Purchase Price") will be determined when
final construction of the Auburn Hills Brewery is completed.

The Company plans to lease the Auburn Hills Brewery pursuant to a separate lease
agreement which will provide for a minimum annual base rent ranging from
$300,000 to $400,000, and a maximum annual base rent ranging from $412,500 to
$550,000, depending upon the Purchase Price.  The lease will have a 25-year term
and the Company will be able to extend such term for two additional ten-year
terms.  In addition to the annual base rent, the Company will be obligated to
pay an annual percentage rent in the amount of 5% on gross sales at the site in
excess of $8.0 million per year.  In the event that such annual gross sales do
not exceed $8.0 million for any two consecutive years during the lease term, the
Company will be obligated to repurchase the Auburn Hills site at the Purchase
Price, plus an amount ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 for each lease year on a
pro rata basis.  The lessor will have the ability to require that the Company
issue Common Stock (valued at $5.00 per share) in payment of such repurchase
price.  The Company will have the option to purchase the property from the
lessor after the seventh full lease year at the Purchase Price, plus an amount
ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 for each lease year on a pro rata basis. 
Independent of annual gross sales, the lessor will have the option to require
the Company to purchase the property before the third full lease year at the
same price.

                  REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AND LEASEBACK AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered by and between Michigan Brewery, Inc., a
Michigan corporation, whose address is 550 S. Wisconsin, P.O. Box 1430, Gaylord,
MI 49735 hereinafter referred to as "Seller" and Michael G. Eyde, whose address
is 6250 W. Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48917 hereinafter referred to as
"Purchaser".

                                  WITNESSETH:

That the Seller hereby agrees to sell and lease back from Purchaser, and the
Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase and lease back to Seller the following
described real estate, hereinafter called the "Property", situated in the City
of Auburn Hills, County of Oakland, State of Michigan, and further described as
follows:

    SEE EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED HERETO

together with and all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to
the land lying in the streets and roads abutting the Property, but excluding
therefrom any and all buildings, improvements, appurtenances and personal
property located thereon, all in accordance with the terms and provisions
hereinafter set forth.

1.  PURCHASE PRICE:  The purchase price shall payable by cashier's check or
federal funds wire transfer at closing and shall be, at Purchaser's option,
either Three Million and no/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00), Three Million Five
Hundred Thousand no/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00),or Four Million and no/100
Dollars ($4,000,000.00).

2.  DEPOSIT:  Immediately upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall
deposit with Seller the sum of One Million and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) Dollars,
as Purchaser's Good Faith Earnest Money Deposit, which sum shall be applied to
the purchase price at closing.  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall have
the right to utilize such funds prior to closing for the construction of a
microbrewery/restaurant on the Property, and may immediately use such funds for
such purposes upon receipt of the funds.  With Seller's consent, Purchaser may
deposit additional sums with Seller for such purposes, in an amount not to
exceed Four Million and 00/100 ($4,000,000.00) Dollars.  To secure the repayment
of the Deposit, Seller shall grant Purchaser a mortgage lien on the Property,
which mortgage lien shall be subordinated to any construction mortgage given by
Seller to any institutional lender to be used for the construction of a
microbrewery/restaurant on the Premises and shall be discharged upon closing of
this transaction.  Purchaser agrees to act as co-borrower in connection with
such construction financing or to provide such financing directly to Seller.  In
consideration of Purchaser acting as co-borrower in connection with such
construction financing or for providing such financing directly to Seller as the
case may be, Seller shall grant to Purchaser a stock option in accordance with
the terms of a certain Stock Option Agreement executed contemporaneously
herewith.

3.  USE OF THE PROPERTY:  Seller intends leaseback to the Property from
Purchaser, and to construct and operate a microbrewery/restaurant as drawn on
plans and specifications prepared by Seller's licensed architect, including off
street parking and serving of food and all legal beverages on the Premises,
hereinafter referred to as Use.


<PAGE>

    This statement of contemplated Use shall be used solely in connection with
interpretation of conditions, representations and warranties set forth herein,
and shall not be construed to limit or defeat any contemplated Use of the
Property by the Seller.

4.  DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD:  Purchaser acknowledges that it has had sufficient
opportunity to inspect the Property to conduct such due diligence as Purchaser
deemed necessary to the Property, and that Purchaser is satisfied with the
condition of the Property and all improvements thereon.

5.  UTILITIES:   In order for the Seller to utilize the Property for its
contemplated Use, all necessary utilities, including, without limiting same,
electricity, water, sanitary and storm sewers and gas must be available, at
costs and with capacities acceptable to Seller as shown on EXHIBIT "B" at or
within the property line. If said utilities are not at or within the property
line of the Premises as above required, Seller shall bring such utilities to the
Premises at its sole cost and expense.  The obtaining of such utilities prior to
closing is a condition precedent to the obligation of the parties to close.

6.  PERMITS:  Seller will use best efforts to obtain at its sole cost and
expense, all necessary licenses, permits and other authorizations to utilize the
Premises for its contemplated Use as stated herein.  Such approvals shall be,
without limiting same, curb cuts for reasonable ingress and egress to the
Premises, the right to erect signs acceptable to Seller, all building and
necessary construction permits and the appropriate alcoholic beverage license
issued directly by the appropriate governmental authorities at fees set by
statute, ordinance or regulation.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller (at
no cost to Purchaser) and the state, county or municipal authorities to obtain
such permits and will execute any documents necessary in this regard.  The
obtaining of all licenses and permits prior to closing is a condition precedent
to the obligation of the parties to close.

7.  TITLE:  Seller shall order a commitment for title insurance for the
Property from Metropolitan Title Insurance Company or a similar national
reputable title company acceptable to Seller.  Prior to closing, such title
commitment must reveal marketable and insurable title in Seller and must be free
from all standard exceptions.  Purchaser shall have a period of ten (10) days
after receipt of the above title commitment in which to give written notice to
Seller specifying Purchaser's objection to the status of title to the Premises
("Objection Period").  At the end of the Objection Period, Purchaser shall have
no further right to object to the status of Seller's title to the Property.  In
the event the above referenced title insurance commitment shall reflect defects
or other conditions which would prevent an insurable and marketable title or
prevent the Seller's contemplated Use of the Property, Purchaser shall advise
Seller, and Seller shall proceed diligently and at its own expense to clear
title to the Premises within thirty (30) days from such notice; it being agreed
and understood that any defect or condition not so removed or cured if otherwise
approved or not objected to by Purchaser shall be deemed Permitted Title
Exceptions to be attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C".  If Seller is unable to remedy
the title within such thirty (30) day period, then Purchaser may waive the
defect and the parties shall proceed to closing, or Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement in which case the parties shall have no further liability to each
other.  Marketable and insurable title for Seller's contemplated Use prior to
closing is a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties to close.

8.  LEASEBACK:  Seller agrees to leaseback the Property from Purchaser, based
upon the Purchase Price Purchaser elects to pay for the Property, in accordance
with the terms set forth in a Lease Agreement between Seller and Purchaser, a
copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBITS "D", "E" OR "F".  At closing,
Purchaser and Seller shall enter into the Lease Agreement in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT "D", "E" OR "F" which shall be determined based upon the
amount of the Purchase Price selected to be paid for the Property by Purchaser. 
If Purchaser elects a Purchase Price of Three Million and no/100 Dollars
($3,000,000.00), then the parties shall enter into the Lease Agreement exactly
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "D". If Purchaser elects a Purchase Price


<PAGE>

of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00), then
the parties shall enter into the Lease Agreement exactly in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "E".  If Purchaser elects a Purchase Price of Four Million and
no/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00), then the parties shall enter into the Lease
Agreement exactly in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "F", and, in addition,
Seller will convey to Purchaser, by Covenant Deed, certain real property
adjacent to the Property, situated in the City of Auburn Hills, County of
Oakland, State of Michigan, and more particularly described on Exhibit G
attached hereto.

9.  CORPORATE APPROVAL:  This Agreement is conditional upon the approval of
this transaction by President of Seller. The Seller shall have thirty (30) days
from the date of execution hereof to obtain said approval.  In the event Seller
does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article on or before said
date, Seller's right to do so hereunder shall be deemed waived.  Purchaser shall
have the right to rely on any communication executed by an officer of Seller in
furtherance of this Article.

10. CLOSING:  Closing will take place at the offices of Metropolitan Title
Company, 15851 S. US 27, Suite 21, Lansing, MI 48906, or at such other location
that is mutually acceptable to the parties within five (5) days after notice
from Seller to Purchaser that it has obtained an occupancy permit for the
microbrewery/restaurant and is prepared to commence the operation of business as
a microbrewery/restaurant.  Conveyance will be by a limited or special warranty
deed.  Immediately upon execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and delivery by
Purchase of the Good Faith Earnest Money Deposit to Seller, Seller shall deposit
the Deed in escrow with Metropolitan Title Insurance Company, to be held in
escrow in accordance with the terms of any Escrow Agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E.  Seller shall bear the expense for the preparation of the
deed including, but not limited to, any applicable conveyance taxes.  Seller
shall bear the expense of the title policy.  Each party shall bear their own
legal fees.  Real estate taxes shall not be prorated.  All existing mortgages
and liens shall be discharged by the Seller prior to or at closing.  In addition
to the deed, the Seller shall deliver at closing an affidavit of possession and
a no lien affidavit and, if appropriate, an affidavit in compliance with Section
1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.  The
parties shall execute and deliver the Lease in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "D" at closing.  The parties agree to execute and provide such other and
further documents as may be required either by law or custom and usage in the
jurisdiction in furtherance of Closing hereunder.  

11. DEFAULT:  In the event all conditions of this Agreement have been satisfied
and in the event Seller refuses to close, Purchaser may seek specific
performance or any other legal or equitable remedies available and recover
reasonable attorney's fees. In the event all conditions of this Agreement have
