and real property taxes which are the obligation of Buyer under

Real Property to be made, if Buyer elects, and to furnish Seller
with a written statement of defects shown by the title insurance
commitment or the survey. Buyer shall also have until the

within the permitted time, Seller shall have until the earlier of
the Closing Date or ten (10) days after receipt thereof in which
to indicate to Buyer which of the title objections raised by
Buyer Seller will cure and those which it declines to cure;
provided, however, Seller must cure all monetary encumbrances
affecting title to the real property as a result of any act or
omission of Seller such as security deeds, mortgages, judgment
liens, liens for materialmen or mechanics resulting from any work
undertaken by Seller, but not taxes, which are the responsibility
of Buyer under the Mining Lease. Seller shall have until the

the right, but not the obligation (except for those items Seller

notified by Buyer; provided, however, that Seller, upon written
notice to Buyer, may postpone the Closing by ten (10) days in order
that such title objections might be cured.
6.2. Failure to Cure Title Objections. Should Seller
fail to satisfy or cure all such title objections by the Closing
Date, as postponed, if appropriate, then Buyer shall have as its
sole right and remedy, at Buyer's election to be made on or
before the Closing Date, (i) in the case of an uncured monetary
encumbrance, to proceed to close the purchase of the Property
with such portion of the Purchase Price as is necessary being
used to satisfy the monetary encumbrances; or (ii) to terminate
this Agreement and thereupon be entitled to a refund of the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money from Escrow Agent; or (iii) to waive those title
objections which Seller failed to satisfy or cure and proceed to
close the sale of the Property contemplated herein and accept the
Real Property subject to such title objections with no reduction
in the Purchase Price, except as required to satisfy monetary
encumbrances as described in clause (i) above. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article 6, if Seller's failure to
convey marketable and insurable title to the Property subject
only to title conditions existing prior to Seller taking title to
the Property results from a willful act or omission of Seller in
default of its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall be entitled to
all remedies available to Buyer under Section 13.1.
7. REAL PROPERTY DOCUMENTS.
7.1. Property Documents. On or before five (5) business
