(o) All disclosures regarding any significant impact on
the Property (i.e., faults, flood zones, moratoria, etc.).
The foregoing information shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Due
Diligence Information"; however; the enumeration of the Due Diligence
Information above shall not be
2
construed to limit the information that Purchaser may require to conduct its
evaluation of the Property. If, after reviewing the Due Diligence Information,
Purchaser deems it necessary to receive additional information from Seller, then
all such additional information shall also be referred to as the "Due Diligence
Information."
6. SURVEY. During the Feasibility Period, Purchaser will have the
right to enter onto the Property to have a new survey of the Property prepared

prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. Seller will have until
Closing to cure such matters; provided, however, that Seller will have until
five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser's objections in which to
indicate to Purchaser in writing any and all of such matters which Seller will
decline to cure.
7. TITLE.
(a) Seller shall convey to Purchaser at Closing good and
marketable fee simple title in and to the Property. For the purposes of
this Agreement, "good and marketable fee simple title" shall mean fee
simple ownership which is: (i) free of all claims, liens and

Title Exceptions (as defined below); and (ii) insurable by Joyce,
Merideth, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Insurance Company (the "Title
Company"), at then-current standard rates under the standard form of
ALTA owner's policy of title insurance (ALTA Form B-1992), with the
standard or printed exceptions therein deleted and without exception

purposes of this Agreement, the term "Permitted Title Exceptions" shall
mean: (A) current city, state and county ad valorem taxes not yet due
and payable; (B) easements for the installation or maintenance of
public utilities serving only the Property; (C) any other matters
disclosed by the most current survey then available except for such
survey matters as Seller is obligated to cure pursuant to this
Agreement; and (D) any matter Purchaser agrees to in writing.
(b) Within 10 days after the Effective Date, Seller
shall, at Seller's sole cost and expense, cause the Title Company to
issue and deliver to Purchaser a written commitment (the "Preliminary
Title Report") to issue the Title Policy in the full amount of the fair
market value of the Property. Seller shall pay the premium for the

mechanic's ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the amount of the Purchase Price.
(c) If the Preliminary Title Report reveals non-Permitted
Title Exceptions, or any title defects, Purchaser may object by
notifying Seller in writing within five (5) days after the date of
receipt of the Preliminary Title Report. Seller will have until five
(5) business days after receipt of Purchaser's objections in which to
indicate to Purchaser in writing any non-Permitted Title Exceptions
raised by Purchaser, which Seller will not cure. All other matters must
be cured prior to Closing and Seller shall pay at or prior to Closing
any and all liens, judgments and mortgages. If there are any items
Seller
3
declines to cure, within five (5) business days after receipt by
Purchaser of Seller's response to Purchaser's notice, Purchaser shall
deliver notice to Seller in which Purchaser elects, with respect to
such items, to either (i) accept the Property with such matters as
Seller declines to cure with no change in the terms of this Agreement,
or (ii) decline to accept the Property with such matters. If Purchaser
declines to accept the Property pursuant to option (ii) above, then,
except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement will be null and
void, and the Title Agent shall refund of all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to
Purchaser, whereupon, the parties will have no further rights, duties,
obligations or liabilities to one another under this Agreement.
8. PROPERTY INSPECTION.
(a) Purchaser and Purchaser's agents or contractors shall
have the right during the Feasibility Period to enter the Property at
reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting, testing and appraising
the Property and to review all books and records, contracts and other
operating documents relating to the Property, upon reasonable notice to
Seller. Seller shall provide access to all areas at the Property.
Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanic or
material man's liens arising out of such entry. Purchaser agrees to
indemnify and hold Seller harmless to the extent of its insurance
coverage under its regularly maintained insurance program from any
damages sustained by Seller resulting from the exercise by Purchaser or
its representatives of the rights granted in this Paragraph, which
agreement shall survive Closing or earlier termination hereof. Upon two
(2) business days' prior notice, Seller agrees that all books, records,
leases and other operating documents shall be available at one location
at the Property. After the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Purchaser shall have access to the Property to perform further
inspections and to insure that the property is being maintained in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
9. CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY PRIOR
TO CLOSING. Seller agrees that on the Date of Closing the Property shall be in
the same physical condition as on the date of Purchaser's inspection of the
Property. In the event that there is a material change in the condition of the
Property between the date that Purchaser conducts its inspection and the Date of
Closing, then Purchaser shall have the option of terminating this Agreement and
all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have
any further obligation hereunder. Prior to Closing, Seller shall be responsible
for and shall maintain the property at Seller's sole cost and expense. Seller
shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against all claims which may be made
relating to Seller's ownership or operation of the Property and any acts or
omissions occurring during Seller's ownership of the Property including all

fees).

Seller and if Purchaser defaults in performing under this Agreement, and such
default is for any other reason than Seller's default, Seller shall be entitled
to payment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and interest thereon, not as a penalty, but for
full liquidation of damages, the parties declaring and agreeing that actual
damages are impossible to ascertain and that such is and represents a reasonable

otherwise be entitled by virtue of this Agreement or by operation of law or
otherwise, and shall represent Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such
breach by Purchaser.

shall Refund all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and interest thereon to Purchaser,
whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or remedies with

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Seller has provided an
express warranty or indemnification, Purchaser's remedies will not be limited by
this Paragraph.

Purchaser that no brokers are claiming by, through or under Seller and none are
entitled to be paid a finder's fee, cooperation fee, commission or other
brokerage-type fee or similar compensation in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby ("Brokerage Compensation"), and that Seller
has not had any dealings or agreements with any other individual or entity in
connection therewith. Purchaser covenants and represents to Seller that
("Buyer's Brokers") no brokers are claiming by, through or under Purchaser and
none are entitled to be paid Broker's Compensation, and that Purchaser has not
had any dealings or agreements with any other individual or entity in connection
therewith. If any person or entity shall assert a claim to such a fee or
compensation against either Seller or Purchaser on account of alleged employment
as a finder, consultant or broker, then the party to this Agreement by, through
or under whom the person or entity claims such employment shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the other party against and from any and all such
claims and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such
claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. The agreement contained in

default or action, or gross negligence, and may, in its sole discretion, rely in
good faith upon the written notices, communications, orders or instructions
given by any party hereto.

Sunday or national bank holiday.
