SECTION IV
TITLE AND SURVEY
(1) TITLE. Within 30 days after the date on which Purchaser furnishes a
copy of the Survey to Seller, Seller will, at Seller's expense, deliver to
Purchaser a commitment for an owner's policy of title insurance (ALTA Owner's
Policy October 17, 1992 edition) issued subsequent to the effective date
(hereinafter referred to as the "commitment") by a reputable national title
insurance company approved by Purchaser and licensed to do business in the State
of Indiana, insuring the property for the full amount of the purchase price. Any
special endorsements to said policy which are requested by the Buyer shall be
the expense of the Buyer. The commitment shall disclose that Seller has good and
marketable title to the property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
except those exceptions which will be removed by Seller at or prior to closing.
Seller shall pay the premium for the owner's title insurance policy at the
closing. Purchaser shall have 30 days from the receipt of the title commitment
to object to any exception shown on the title commitment by giving written
notice to Seller; provided that any matter not objected to by Purchaser within
said 30-day period shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser ("permitted
exceptions"). Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure the title
objections, and if Seller has not cured the title objections to Purchaser's
reasonable satisfaction within 30 days from the date the objections are
disclosed, or if Seller elects not to cure the objections, then Purchaser shall
have, as its sole option, the right to terminate this contract and receive a
refund of the xxxxxxx money deposit, or waive the objections and consummate the
purchase of the Property subject to the objections, all of which shall be deemed
"permitted exceptions."
(2) PURCHASER'S SURVEY. Purchaser shall, prior to the end of the
Feasibility Period, obtain at Purchaser's expense, at a minimum, an ALTA
boundary survey ("SURVEY") of the Property prepared by a Registered Land
Surveyor, although Purchaser may obtain a survey showing the location of the
boundaries of the Property, all easements and rights of way of record or as
disclosed from a physical inspection of the Property, all encroachments, if any,
and all buildings and other improvements. Prior to the end of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser shall furnish a copy of said Survey to Seller. Within ten (10)
days thereafter, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any objection to
the Survey. If a notice of objection is not timely received, the Survey proposed
by Purchaser shall be deemed acceptable by Seller. The Warranty Deed executed at
Closing shall contain the legal description obtained from the deeds vesting
title in Seller. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a Quitclaim Deed containing
the legal description
2
obtained from the Purchaser's Survey. If Seller objects to the Purchaser's
Survey, then Seller shall cause the Property to be surveyed by a Registered Land
Surveyor within forty-five (45) days thereafter, and shall furnish a copy of
Seller's Survey to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not accept Seller's Survey, then
the surveyors who prepared Purchaser's and Seller's surveys shall select a third
Registered Land Surveyor who shall survey the Property. The results of said
third survey shall be deemed acceptable to the parties, and the Quitclaim Deed
shall contain the legal description contained therein. Seller shall bear the
expenses of any surveyor hired by Xxxxxx. Purchaser and Seller shall equally
divided and pay the cost of any expense incurred by any third surveyor employed
pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph. Should the third Survey reveal
additional exceptions to the title, Seller and Purchaser shall have the same
rights and obligations with respect thereto as provided in this Agreement
regarding conveyance of title. The final Survey of the Property obtained
pursuant to this Paragraph shall determine the Purchase Price for the Property.
SECTION V
CONDITION AND INSPECTION OF PROPERTY
(1) INSPECTION AND FINANCING CONDITION. The Purchaser shall have the
right to a reasonable inspection of the property within 180 days after the
effective date of this contract ("feasibility period"). Should Purchaser be
dissatisfied with the inspection for any reason, Purchaser may, by written
notice to Seller within the 180-day period, terminate this contract without
obligation and receive a refund of its xxxxxxx money deposit. The Purchaser
intends to build and operate a plant to process corn into ethanol upon the
property. In the event that Purchaser is unable to obtain zoning or regulatory
approval from any authority required for Purchaser's intended use, or if
Purchaser is unable to obtain debt or equity financing required for Purchaser's
intended use of the Property, the Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller
within the 180-day period, terminate this contract without obligation and
receive a refund of its xxxxxxx money deposit. If Purchaser is taking such
commercially-reasonable steps prior to the end of the initial 180-day
feasibility period as Purchaser in good faith believes are necessary or
appropriate to obtain such financing, then Purchaser shall have the one-time
right to extend the feasibility period an additional 70 days from the original
date of expiration, and all references herein to the feasibility period, and all
rights of Purchaser which may be exercised prior to the end of the feasibility
period, shall also be extended to such date. Failure by the Purchaser to
terminate this contract prior to the expiration of the feasibility period, shall
constitute Purchaser's acceptance of the property in its "as is"/"where is,"
"with all faults" condition. This provision shall survive the closing. Purchaser
shall hold harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all claims,
causes of action, damages, liability and related expenses arising from or
related to inspection of the property by Purchaser or its employees, agents, or
contractors, including but not limited to environmental inspections.
Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties,
damages and losses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees
resulting from any injuries to persons or damage to property which occur as a
result of Purchaser, or its representatives, entering upon the property.

SAME AND, UPON CLOSING, SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE DISCLAIMED MATTERS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY
BUYER'S INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. SUCH INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF
BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO INCLUDE AN ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT OF THE PROPERTY, AN
INSPECTION OF THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS AND GENERAL CONDITION OF ALL PORTIONS OF
THE PROPERTY, SUCH STATE OF FACTS AS AN ACCURATE SURVEY AND INSPECTION OF THE
PROPERTY WOULD SHOW, PRESENT AND FUTURE ZONING AND LAND USE ORDINANCES,

WITH ALL FAULTS, AND THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, COLLATERAL TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY BY SELLER OR ANY THIRD
