5. Remaining Payments. After the initial payment is made, Seller will retain and carry-back a Promissory Note, and first lien Deed-of-Trust against the Property (the “carry-back documents”), for the remaining amount due to the Seller, in a form satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser, and containing standard commercial terms, including but not limited to strict due-on-sale terms, as well as no pre-payment penalty(ies) for the Purchaser, and also the following additional terms:

b. Balloon Payment. All outstanding amounts not paid against the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust, will be due in full, on or before April 30, 2019.

Nevada Gold shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably within its control to preserve intact and unimpaired any and all easements, grants, appurtenances, privileges and licenses in favor of or constituting any portion of the Property to the extent known by Nevada Gold.

11. Condemnation. If notice is received by Nevada Gold prior to Closing that any portion of the Property shall be taken in condemnation or pursuant to the right of eminent domain, or if any such proceeding (judicial, administrative or otherwise) is commenced after the Effective Date hereof, any award or proceeds received by Nevada Gold from such condemnation or right of eminent domain proceeding shall be applied against, and reduce, the Purchase Price hereunder.
