      properties, including the Claims in accordance with, and not in violation
      of or non-compliance with any and all applicable environmental laws or any

      therefor, and there are no outstanding agreements or options to acquire or
      purchase the Claims or any portion thereof, with the exception of this
      agreement and the Eureka Option Agreement, and no person has any royalty
