Premises consisting of approximately thirteen and eight-tenths (13.8) acres of
land as more fully described in Exhibit "A". Exhibit "A" and each of the other
Exhibits referred to in this Agreement shall be incorporated into this Agreement

easements, assessments, conditions, contracts, rights, claims,

disclosed on a title report (the "Existing Encumbrances"), to physical
conditions which would be disclosed by a survey of the Premises and to
those easements, conditions, contracts, rights, licenses,

of the Premises the boundary survey and the topographical survey of
the Premises and has made, or shall make prior to its purchase of the
Premises a careful physical inspection of the Premises to satisfy it

Encumbrances, the mortgages described herein, to the physical
conditions which exist and as such conditions may change during the
course of construction and to those easements, conditions, contracts,
rights, licenses, encroachments, restrictions and other encumbrances
resulting from Owner securing regulatory, development and construction
approvals for the Facility and attendant site improvements, provided
that the same do not interfere with the Owner's operation of the
Facility.
(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Owner shall provide
Contractor with copies of all engineering, architectural and any other
plans, studies and surveys, title reports, environmental assessments,
appraisals and other information regarding the Premises or the

unable to obtain the Approvals, the Contractor shall have no liability
whatsoever to the Owner, or any other party and at the Owner's or the
Contractor's option, this Agreement shall be terminated without

Architect to prepare as promptly as possible, but, in any event, within thirty

substitutions in the Personal Property but Contractor shall have final authority

items requiring completion or correction, so long as such Punch-List
does not prevent or prohibit occupancy.
(b) Contractor will use its reasonable best efforts to notify Owner at
least ninety (90) days prior to the time Owner estimates that the
Facility will be Physically Completed, whereupon Owner will diligently
proceed to fulfill all other conditions necessary for licensure and
Owner will apply in a timely manner for all licenses and permits
necessary to commence operation of the Facility. After such notice
from Contractor, Owner, to the extent necessary to perform necessary
administrative activities may, so long as he does not interfere with
completion of construction, enter upon the Premises in an effort to
coordinate initial licensure with Physical Completion.
Section 2.11 - Owner's Noninvolvement. Owner shall have access to the

shall not be empowered to interfere or become involved with construction or

make a Punch-List of the items requiring completion or correction. Each item on
the Punch List shall be assigned a reasonable value based upon the reasonable
cost of completion or correction of the same or such other value as may be
required by Owner's lender ("Punch-list Amount"). The Contractor shall give
its written undertaking to complete each such item within ninety (90) days after
transfer of title, further agreeing to permit Owner to complete any such items

the Personal Property, including, without limitation, waiving all IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Section 2.14 - Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify and save

Facility pursuant to the Project Loan (with all conditions precedent
to such closing either satisfied or irrevocably waived by the lender)
shall not have occurred by April 30, 1997.
(b) The Owner and Contractor also contemplate that the Premises and
