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.

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.

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.
