4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Unless the following conditions are

Period (as defined herein), Buyer may elect to terminate this agreement, subject
to the terms of the last paragraph of this Section 4:
(a) The record title to the Mineral Rights shall be
satisfactory to Buyer.
(b) During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have
completed a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the Mineral Rights and such
other site investigations, tests and other examinations as it shall deem
necessary or appropriate and shall have determined in its sole discretion that
no "Hazardous Substances" (as hereinafter defined) have been ever manufactured,
treated, stored, released or disposed of on, in or under the Land or any part
thereof and there are no underground storage tanks on the Land. The
environmental assessments completed for the benefit of Buyer must otherwise be
acceptable to Buyer in all respects. For the purposes of this provision
"HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE" means and includes: (i) any hazardous, toxic or dangerous
3
waste, substance or material defined as such in (or for the purposes of) the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as
amended, and any so-called superfund or superlien law, or any other federal,
state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, order or
decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct
concerning any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material, (ii)
any other chemical, material or substance, exposure to which is prohibited,
limited or regulated by any federal, state or local governmental authority

environment, (iii) asbestos and pcbs, and (iv) petroleum in any form.
(c) Buyer shall have determined that all governmental
permits and approvals necessary for Buyer's intended use of the Mineral Rights
and the construction and operation of the necessary improvements for its
operations have or can be obtained and that the Mineral Rights are not subject
to any governmental regulations which would limit or restrict the development of
the Mineral Rights for Buyer's Intended Use in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in
its sole discretion.
The conditions precedent set forth in this Section 4 are intended
solely for the benefit of Buyer. If any of such condition(s) are not satisfied
on or before expiration of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), Buyer
shall have the right, at its sole election, either to waive the condition(s) in
question by written instrument of waiver, either in whole or in part, and
proceed with the purchase or, in the alternative, terminate this Agreement by
giving Seller written notice of such election by delivering written notice to
Seller at any time on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If
Buyer does not provide such written notice on or before the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any such conditions. If
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 4, the Xxxxxxx Money and
all interest thereon shall be refunded to Buyer, and all parties shall be
released from all further liabilities and obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however that the indemnity obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall survive termination.

discretion, Buyer is not satisfied with the Mineral Rights in any respect, then
Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller at any
time on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period.
If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5,
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to the Buyer by the Escrow Agent. If Buyer

any interest earned thereon shall be applied to payment of the Purchase Price at
Closing. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not

commitment for an owner's policy of title insurance ("TITLE COMMITMENT") from a
title company acceptable to Buyer (the "TITLE COMPANY") within the Inspection
Period and shall provide a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller within a
reasonable time thereafter. If the Title Commitment shows either that Seller
does not have good and marketable fee simple title to the Mineral Rights, or
that there are any defects, liens, or any encumbrances or any other matters that
are not acceptable to Buyer, Buyer may notify Seller within the Inspection
Period of same. By not later than February 20, 2005, (the "CURE PERIOD"), Seller

satisfactory evidence of payment and release. If Seller fails within the Cure
Period to (a) eliminate any such defects, liens and encumbrances, and (b) obtain
an endorsement deleting such matters as exceptions in the Title Commitment and
the title policy, Buyer shall have the option to accept the status of the title
subject to such defects, liens or encumbrances and other matters and proceed
with this Agreement, or give Seller written notice of termination on or before
the date five (5) days after expiration of the Cure Period, in which event the
Xxxxxxx Money and interest thereon shall be refunded to Buyer and this Agreement
shall terminate and Buyer shall be released of all liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement; provided, however that the indemnity obligations of the
parties under this Agreement shall survive termination.

delineate the exact boundary lines of the Land. Said metes and bounds
descriptions shall then become a part of this Agreement without the necessity of
any further action by any party hereto, and, in addition to the Deed required
above, which shall be based upon the descriptions in the vesting deeds to
Seller, said metes and bounds description for the Mineral Rights shall be used
in a quitclaim deed to be delivered from Seller to Buyer at Closing. Buyer shall
notify Seller of any objections to survey matters within the Inspection Period.
