counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. In addition, this Agreement may be
executed initially by facsimile counterpart copies, and upon receipt of the same, shall be deemed

entire Property, in an amount equal to the purchase price, and shall provide copies of all
documents of record related to exceptions described in said title insurance commitment

given to the Seller within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Title Documents (or any

cure any title objection by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall, at its election, have the
right to accept such title as the Seller is able to convey, without any reduction of the
purchase price; or the Purchaser shall have the right to rescind this Agreement and, upon
such rescission pursuant to this paragraph, the Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of
the amount of money theretofore paid to the Seller or its agent; and upon such payment,

objections by Seller and acceptance thereof by Purchaser, the resulting exceptions to title
as listed in the revised Schedule B-2 to the title insurance commitment shall be deemed
the "Permitted Exceptions" hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
inability of the Seller to convey marketable title to the Purchaser is due to an act or
omission of the Seller, the Seller shall be in default and shall continue to be liable
hereunder. Seller, at its sole expense, shall cause the title insurance policy to be delivered
to Purchaser as soon as practicable at or after the Initial Closing.
B. On or before the fifteenth (15'h) day following any Notice of Exercise of any
Option, as provided in paragraph 2, above, the Seller at its sole expense, shall provide to
the Purchaser a new title insurance commitment for the Option Parcel(s), in an amount
equal to the Option price of the Parcel or Parcels to be conveyed, and shall provide copies
of all Title Documents of record related to exceptions described in said new title
insurance commitment ("Title Documents"). In the event said new title insurance
commitment identifies new title defects, liens or encumbrances not previously identified
that are unsatisfactory to the Purchaser, written notice by Purchaser shall be given to the
Seller within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by Purchaser of the new title
insurance commitment or any title changes. The Seller shall cure such defect within a
reasonable amount of time, at its expense, without in any other manner affecting the
terms of this Agreement_ If any instrument or deposit is necessary in order to obviate a
defect in or objection to title, the following shall apply: (a) Any such instrument shall be
in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as may be reasonably required
by the title insurance company so as to satisfy said company sufficiently for it to omit
such defect or objection; (b) Any such deposit shall be made with said title insurance
company; and (c) the Seller agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such
instrument and to make any such deposit. In the event said title insurance company
refuses to omit any title defect or objection prior to the Closing of an Option, or in the
event the Seller is unable through reasonable good faith efforts to cure any title objection
by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall, at its election, have the right to accept such
title as the Seller is able to convey, without any reduction of the purchase price; or the
Purchaser shall have the right to rescind this Agreement and, upon such rescission
i3
Final 2121106
pursuant to this paragraph, the Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the amount of
money theretofore paid to the Seller or its agent; and upon such payment, this Agreement
shall be null and void and of no further effect, and all parties to this Agreement shall be
released from all obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
inability of the Seller to convey marketable title to the Purchaser is due to an act or
omission of the Seller, the Seller shall be in default and shall continue to be liable
hereunder. Seller, at its sole expense, shall cause the title insurance policy to be delivered
to Purchaser as soon as practicable at or after Closing of any Option.
C. With respect to any title insurance commitment under this paragraph 9, Purchaser
shall have an additional ten (10) business days after receipt by Purchaser of any change
or update to the title insurance commitment, the Title Documents, any survey or other
matter affecting title to any Parcel being purchased hereunder.

Property certified by a licensed Colorado surveyor which shall legally describe the Property as a
whole and each Parcel of the Property that will potentially be conveyed by the Seller to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the "Survey"). Purchaser shall deliver a copy of such
Survey to Seller not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Closing. Seller shall have
fifteen (15) days following delivery to Seller of any Survey or amendment to Survey indicating
or modifying the legal description for the Property, to review and approve such legal description
for purposes of use in the special warranty deed, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
In the event that the Seller and the Purchaser cannot agree upon a legal description of the
