PROPERTY WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET DURING THE EXISTENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FOR THE DETRIMENT DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT THAT
IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF SELLER’S
ACTUAL DAMAGE. IN PLACING THEIR INITIALS AT THE PLACE PROVIDED BELOW THE PARTIES
AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN, AS ITS SOLE REMEDY
AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, BUYER’S DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000.00 AS LIQUIDATED

9.  SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS, WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS:
a. SELLER represents to BUYER that to the best knowledge of SELLER, the title to
the Property to be conveyed to BUYER will not be encumbered by any easements,
persons in possession, government patents or other rights, other than those
items disclosed on the Title Report or which would be disclosed by a physical
inspection of the Property or as specifically described herein. To the best
knowledge of SELLER, the exception of common ranch materials and waste, there is
no hazardous, toxic or radioactive material on the Real Property. SELLER agrees
BUYER and/or its agents may make all disclosures and file all reports which may
be required by law with respect to discovery of any hazardous, toxic or
radioactive materials on the Real Property as a result of such investigations
and hereby releases and holds BUYER harmless with respect to liability arising
out of such disclosure.
  SELLER covenants there are not threatened or pending annexation proceedings,
condemnation proceedings or litigation against or affecting any part of the
Property.
During the pendency of this Agreement, SELLER shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in or upon the premises of the Real Property. Waste shall
include, but not be limited to, any injury to the Real Property which renders it
in a condition materially different from its condition at the date of this
Agreement.
b.  As a material inducement to BUYER’S purchase of the Property, SELLER agrees
that SELLER will not acquire within a period of three (3) years after Close of
Escrow in its own name, or through any entity in which SELLER has an ownership
interest or through any entity affiliated with any owner of SELLER (collectively
“SELLER’S Affiliates”) any land or water rights within the larger of (a) the
area known as Spring Valley, White Pine County, Nevada or (b) the area
designated by the State Engineer of the State of Nevada as Basin 184 within
White Pine County (herein “Reserved Property”). It is expressly understood and
acknowledged that VIDLER is currently involved with the Lincoln County Water
District and nothing in this agreement is intended to in anyway impair the
activities relating to the water resource development activities in Lincoln
County by Lincoln County Water District and VIDLER. In the event any such
acquisition of Reserved Property occurs, the SELLER MUST provide written notice
to BUYER of such acquisition within ten (10) days of execution of such hereby
grants to BUYER the exclusive right and option (the “Option”) to purchase the
Reserved Property so purchased by SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate at a price equal
to the purchase price paid by SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate, which Option shall
expire one (1) year after such acquisition by SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate
(“Option Expiration Date”), unless the Option is exercised by written notice
given by BUYER to SELLER in the manner and at the address set forth in this
Agreement prior to the Option Expiration Date. In the event the Option is
exercised, escrow for the Reserved Property (the “Option Escrow”) shall close
within sixty (60) days after the exercise of the Option. At close of the Option
Escrow, SELLER shall be obligated to deliver title to the Reserved Property to
BUYER (whether or not SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate acquired the Reserved
Property) in the same condition as existed on the date of such acquisition with
all water rights, which shall be in good standing with the State Engineer. The
purchase price for the Reserved Property shall be payable either in cash or
under the same terms under which SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate acquired the
Reserved Property, at the option of BUYER. BUYER shall have the unilateral right
to execute and record in the office of the County Recorder of the County in
which the Reserved Property is located at any time after acquisition thereof by
SELLER or SELLER’S Affiliate, a Memorandum of Option in a form satisfactory to
BUYER describing the Option and the Reserved Property which is subject to the
Option.
c.  Notwithstanding any quantities or duties of water rights represented in the
Exhibit A-1, SELLER does not warrant that any quantity of water or water rights
will be approved for a change in manner of use, point of diversion or place of
use by the Nevada State Engineer or warrant that any quantity of water will be
permitted or certified by the Nevada State Engineer under any water rights
application transferred hereunder.

indemnify and hold SELLER harmless from all liability, claims, costs and
expense, except such as might accrue from the mere discovery of hazardous or
toxic material, resulting from BUYER’S activities on the Real Property during
the escrow period. Should the BUYER fail to acquire the Property, then it is
agreed that SELLER shall receive copies of all studies, test results and
engineering generated by BUYER.
