period, upon not less than two business days prior notice to Seller, Buyer may
review all the Data, inspect all of the Equipment, and may go upon the Leases at
its own risk to do so. Buyer agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Seller for
any damages or injury of any kind incurred by any party as the result of such
inspection regardless of whether such damage or injury results, in whole or in

as necessary).
(b) The term "Defect" as used herein shall mean the following:

a property listed on Exhibit "A-1" hereto, it clearly (A) entitles Seller to
receive a decimal share of the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced from, or
allocated to, such property which is less than the net revenue interest decimal
share set forth on Exhibit "A-1", (B) causes Seller to be obligated to bear a
working interest decimal share of the cost of operation of such property greater
than the decimal share set forth on Exhibit "A-1" (without a proportionate
increase in the share of production to which Seller is entitled to receive from
such property);
(ii) Seller's ownership of the Properties is subject to a lien other
than (A) liens which will be released at or before Closing, (B) a lien for taxes
not yet delinquent, or (C) a lien under an operating agreement or similar
agreement which relates to expenses incurred which but not yet due;
(iii) Seller's ownership of the Properties is subject to a
preferential right to purchase, unless an appropriate tender of the applicable
interest has been made by Seller to the party holding such right and the period
of time required for such party to exercise such right has expired without such
party exercising such right;
(iv) A Property is affected by any suit, action or other proceeding
before any court or government agency that would result in a material loss or
impairment of Seller's title to any portion of the Property, or a portion of the
value thereof; and
10
(v) The Properties are, or one or more Property is, in violation of
Environmental Laws.
(vi) As used in this Agreement, the term "Environmental Laws" means

and Solid Waste Amendments Act of 1984, as amended, the Toxic Substances Control
Act, as amended, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended
("OSHA"), and any applicable state, tribal, or local counterparts. The terms
"hazardous substance", "release", and "threatened release" shall have the
meanings specified in CERCLA; the terms "solid waste," "hazardous waste," and
"disposal" shall have the meanings set out in RCRA; provided, however, that to
the extent the laws of the state in which the Properties are located are
applicable and have established a meaning for "hazardous substance", "release",
"threatened release", "solid waste", "hazardous waste", and "disposal" that is
broader than that specified in CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply
with respect to the matters covered by such laws.
(c) If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing by the Defect Date of any
such Defect, the Defect will be deemed waived, Seller shall be released from any
liability therefor, the parties shall proceed with Closing, Seller shall be
under no obligation to correct the Defect, and Buyer shall assume the risks,
liability and obligations associated with such Defect. Seller may, but is not
obligated, to cure any Defect within ten (10) days after Seller receives timely
written notice of the Defect. If Seller fails to cure the Defect by the time
required, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to
Seller within five (5) days after the time by which Seller must cure the Defect.
If Buyer terminates this Agreement for Seller's failure to cure a Defect, the
Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.
