For purposes of this Agreement, DEQ relies on the following representations by Prospective Developer and DWM files as to use and ownership of the Brownfields Property: a. In the late 1800s, the Brownfields Property was part of the Carolina Military Institute Post, and was occupied by residents of the Post from the early 1900s to approximately the 1960s. Several general stores were located in the southeastern portion of the Brownfields Property in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1950s, the western portion of the Brownfields Property was occupied by a vehicle service garage and battery service building. The service garage was identified as having gasoline underground stage tanks (USTs). The service garage building was subsequently used as boiler room for the adjacent dry cleaner through the 1980s. The dry cleaner operated at 309 E Morehead Street under the name American Dry Cleaning. From 1988 until 2008, the Brownfields Property was used as an off ramp between I-277 and South Blvd. In 2008, the City of Charlotte reconfigured the intersection to I-277. The most recent past owner of the Brownfields Property was the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The Brownfields Property has been vacant since 2008. b. In May 2015, Prospective Developer contracted to purchase the Brownfields Property from NCDOT. The purchase was completed on February 18, 2016. 7. Pertinent environmental information regarding the Brownfields Property and surrounding area includes the following: 5 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) a. Located at 309 East Morehead Street and adjoining the Brownfields Property to the west is the former American Dry-Cleaning Company. The site is currently a multi-family residential apartment building with a three-level sub grade parking garage, and limited office/retail components. i. In 1998, soil and groundwater impacts were found during site assessment activities. In June 1999, LAW Engineering and Environmental Services oversaw the excavation of 1,500 cubic yards of soil from the DSCA site. This excavation included the impacted source area soil and soil beyond the edges of observable impact. ii. In September 2008, the site was certified in the DSCA Program and assigned Project ID 60-0002. iii. In 2009, DSCA assigned the site a priority ranking of 3.2. As part of the assessment activities, temporary wells were installed and sampled. In 2010 through 2011, groundwater samples were collected quarterly to establish that the plume was decreasing and stable. In July 2011, a Tier 1 and 2 Risk Assessment Report was completed for groundwater and soil vapor. Soil was not assessed because the impacted soil had been excavated. The conclusion stated the release at the DSCA site does not pose an unacceptable risk and recommended site closure in accordance with DSCA Program risk based rules. iv. A Notice of Intent to Remediate a Dry-Cleaning Solvent Facility (NOI) was issued by the DSCA Program. The public comment period was from March 10, 2013 through April 9, 2013 v. On August 8, 2013, a Notice of Dry Cleaning Solvent Remediation was filed at the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds Office. The Notice was recorded in Book 6 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) Number 28600 Page 400, Associated Plat Book 55, Page 369. This Notice states the Property located along the former John Belk Freeway (I-277) entrance ramp to South Blvd between E Morehead Street and I-277, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County described as Parcel #4 has groundwater contaminated with dry cleaning solvents associated with dry cleaning operations at the former American Dry-Cleaning Company. The use of the groundwater is prohibited by the NOI and by local regulations. NCDEQ issued a No Further Action (NFA) Letter from DSCA Program on August 12, 2013 for the American Dry-Cleaning Company site, DSCA ID 60-0002. b. In 1999, three USTs were removed from the former service station and garage on the southwest portion of the Brownfields Property and adjacent parcels. The USTs contents were unknown, but laboratory analysis of samples of the contents identified them as hydrocarbons. The UST #1 was 1,000 gallons and USTs # 2 and #3 were 1,500 gallons. Post- excavation soil samples were collected from sidewalls and the bottom and from the area surrounding the excavation. No constituents above screening state screening levels were detected. The area was over-excavated to allow for the sub-grade parking garage. Approximately 2,000 tons (1,500 cubic yards) of soil were excavated during redevelopment. 8. The most recent environmental sampling at the Brownfields Property reported in the Environmental Reports occurred in February 2016. The tables set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Agreement present contaminants present at the Brownfields Property above applicable standards or screening levels for each media sampled. 9. For purposes of this Agreement DEQ relies on Prospective Developer’s representations that Prospective Developer's involvement with the Brownfields Property has been limited to obtaining or commissioning the Environmental Reports, and preparing and 7 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) submitting to DEQ a Brownfields Property Application (BPA) dated February 7, 2016. On February 18, 2016, Prospective Developer purchased the Brownfields Property. 10. Prospective Developer has provided DEQ with information, or sworn certifications regarding that information on which DEQ relies for purposes of this Agreement, sufficient to demonstrate that: a. Prospective Developer and any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate has substantially complied with federal and state laws, regulations and rules for protection of the environment, and with the other agreements and requirements cited at NCGS § 130A- 310.32(a)(1); b. As a result of the implementation of this Agreement, the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment; c. Prospective Developer's reuse of the Brownfields Property will produce a public benefit commensurate with the liability protection provided Prospective Developer hereunder; d. Prospective Developer has or can obtain the financial, managerial and technical means to fully implement this Agreement and assure the safe use of the Brownfields Property; and e. Prospective Developer has complied with all applicable procedural requirements. 11. Prospective Developer has paid to DEQ the $2,000 fee to seek a brownfields agreement required by NCGS § 130A-310.39(a)(1), and shall make a payment to DEQ of $6,000 8 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) at the time Prospective Developer and DEQ enter into this Agreement, defined for this purpose as occurring no later than the last day of the public comment period related to this Agreement. The Parties agree that such fees will suffice as the $2,000 fee to seek a brownfields agreement required by NCGS § 130A-310.39(a)(1), and, within the meaning of NCGS § 130A- 310.39(a)(2), the full cost to DEQ and the North Carolina Department of Justice of all activities related to this Agreement, unless a change is sought to a Brownfields document after it is in effect, in which case there shall be an additional fee of at least $1,000. IV. BENEFIT TO COMMUNITY 12. The redevelopment of the Brownfields Property proposed herein would provide the following public benefits: a. a return to productive use of the Brownfields Property; b. a spur to additional community investment and redevelopment, through improved neighborhood appearance and otherwise; c. the creation of hundreds of construction jobs; 15 full time employees during redevelopment and approximately 5 full time jobs post-development; d. an increase in tax revenue for affected jurisdictions; e. Additional residential space for the area; f. expanded use of public transportation which reduces traffic, improves air quality, and reduces our carbon footprint; and g. “smart growth” through use of land in an already developed area, which avoids development of land beyond the urban fringe (“greenfields”). 9 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) V. WORK TO BE PERFORMED 13. In redeveloping the Brownfields Property, Prospective Developer shall make reasonable efforts to evaluate applying sustainability principles at the Brownfields Property, using the nine (9) areas incorporated into the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification program (Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Locations & Linkages, Awareness & Education, Innovation in Design and Regional Priority), or a similar program. 14. Based on the information in the Environmental Reports, and subject to imposition of and compliance with the land use restrictions set forth below, and subject to Section IX of this Agreement (DEQ’s Covenant Not to Sue and Reservation of Rights), DEQ is not requiring Prospective Developer to perform any active remediation at the Brownfields Property other than remediation that may be required pursuant to a DEQ-approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP) required by this Section. 15. By way of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced below in paragraph 21, Prospective Developer shall impose the following land use restrictions under the Act, running with the land, to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in this Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment instead of remediation to unrestricted use standards. All references to DEQ shall be understood to include any successor in function. a. No use may be made of the Brownfields Property other than for multi-family residential, retail, office, and with prior written DEQ approval, other commercial uses. For purposes of this restriction, the following definitions apply: i. “Multi-Family Residential” defined as permanent dwellings where 10 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) residential units are attached to each other with common walls, such as condominia, apartments, or townhomes style, and any property outside the dwelling structures is usable by all residents and not privately owned as part of a particular unit, and shall include related amenities, such as pools, clubhouses, courtyards, common areas, recreation areas and parking garages. ii. “Retail” defined as the sale of goods or services, products, or merchandise directly to the consumer or businesses and includes showrooms, personal service, and sales of food and beverage products. For the purposes of this Agreement, retail excludes use as a dry cleaner using chlorinated solvents. iii. “Office” defined as the provision of business or professional services. b. Residential units shall only be occupied by residents under lease and shall not be sold to individual owners for occupation or subletting. At the discretion of DEQ, conditioned on prior written DEQ review and approval of a private ownership plan that includes conditions DEQ may impose, without limitation, for enhanced land use restriction enforceabililty and fees to offset the cost to the state, the units may be approved for individual sale. c. Groundwater at the Brownfields Property may not be used or exposed for any purpose without the prior written approval of DEQ. d. Surface water at the Brownfields Property may not be used for any purpose, other than in connection with legally compliant stormwater collection and reuse techniques, without the prior written approval of DEQ. e. Unless this land use restriction is waived by DEQ in writing based on final grade soil sampling (or based on confirmation that no such sampling is required) pursuant to paragraph 16.h., no activity that disturbs soil on the Brownfields Property may occur unless and 11 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) until DEQ states in writing, in advance of the proposed activity, that said activity may occur if carried out along with any measures DEQ deems necessary to ensure the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in subparagraph 16.a. above while fully protecting public health and the environment, except: i. in connection with landscape planting to depths not exceeding 24 inches; ii. mowing and pruning of above-ground vegetation; iii. for repair of underground infrastructure, provided that DEQ shall be given written notice at least seven days in advance of a scheduled repair (if only by email) of any such repair, or in emergency circumstances no later than the next business day, and that any related assessment and remedial measures required by DEQ shall be taken; or iv. in accordance with an EMP as outlined in subparagraph 16.j. f. No occupancy of the Brownfields Property for the uses defined in paragraph 16.a. may occur after redevelopment until the then owner of the Brownfields Property conducts representative final grade soil sampling of any area of the Brownfields Property that is not covered by building foundations, sidewalks, or asphaltic or concrete parking areas and driveways pursuant to a plan or EMP approved in writing by DEQ (or DEQ confirms in writing that such sampling is not required). g. Soil may not be removed from, or brought onto, the Brownfields Property without prior sampling and analysis to DEQ’s satisfaction and the written approval of DEQ, unless conducted in accordance with an approved EMP as outlined in subparagraph 16.j. h. Physical redevelopment of the Brownfields Property may not occur other than 12 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) in accord, as determined by DEQ, with an EMP approved in writing by DEQ in advance (and revised to DEQ’s written satisfaction prior to each subsequent redevelopment phase) that is consistent with all the other land use restrictions and describes redevelopment activities at the Brownfields Property, the timing of redevelopment phases, and addresses health, safety and environmental issues that may arise from use of the Brownfields Property during construction or redevelopment in any other form, including without limitation: i. soil and water management issues, including without limitation those resulting from contamination identified in the Environmental Reports; ii. issues related to potential sources of contamination referenced in Exhibit 2; iii. contingency plans for addressing newly discovered potential sources of environmental contamination (e.g., underground storage tanks, drums, septic drain fields, oil- water separators, soil contamination), including without limitation the testing of soil and groundwater; and iv. plans for the proper characterization of, and, as necessary, disposal of contaminated soils excavated during redevelopment. i. By January 31 of each year after the effective date of this Agreement for as long as physical redevelopment of the Brownfields Property continues (except that the final deadline shall fall 90 days after the conclusion of physical redevelopment), the then owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property undergoing redevelopment shall provide DEQ a report subject to written DEQ approval on environment-related activities since the last report, with a summary and drawings, that describes: 13 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) i. actions taken on the Brownfields Property in accordance with Section V: Work to be Performed above; ii. soil grading and cut and fill actions; iii. methodology(ies) employed for field screening, sampling and laboratory analysis of environmental media; iv. stockpiling, containerizing, decontaminating, treating, handling, laboratory analysis and ultimate disposition of any soil, groundwater or other materials suspected or confirmed to be contaminated with regulated substances; and v. removal of any contaminated soil, water or other contaminated materials (for example, concrete, demolition debris) from the Brownfields Property (copies of all legally required manifests shall be included). j. Neither DEQ, nor any party conducting environmental assessment or remediation at the Brownfields Property at the direction of, or pursuant to a permit, order or agreement issued or entered into by DEQ, may be denied access to the Brownfields Property for purposes of conducting such assessment or remediation, which is to be conducted using reasonable efforts to minimize interference with authorized uses of the Brownfields Property. k. None of the contaminants known to be present in the environmental media at the Brownfields Property, as described in Exhibit 2 of this Agreement and as modified by DEQ in writing if additional contaminants in excess of applicable standards are discovered at the Brownfields Property, may be used or stored at the Brownfields Property without the prior written approval of DEQ, except: i. in de minimis quantities for cleaning and other routine housekeeping 14 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) and maintenance activities; ii. as fuel or other fluids customarily used in vehicles, landscaping equipment, and emergency generators; and iii. as constituents of products and materials customarily used and stored in residential, office, or retail environments, provided such products and materials are stored in original retail packaging and used and disposed of in accordance with applicable laws. l. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well is damaged by the owner, its contractors, or its tenants shall be responsible for repair of any such wells to DEQ’s written satisfaction and within a time period acceptable to DEQ, unless compliance with this land use restriction is waived in writing by DEQ in advance. m. Any deed or other instrument conveying an interest in the Brownfields Property shall contain the following notice: “This property is subject to the Brownfields Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property recorded in the Mecklenburg County land records, Book ____, Page ____.” A copy of any such instrument shall be sent to the persons listed in Section XV (Notices and Submissions), though financial figures related to the conveyance may be redacted. The following mechanisms may be used to comply with the obligations of this paragraph, subject to the terms and conditions that DEQ may establish in such approval: (i) If every lease and rider is identical in form, DEQ may be provided with copies of a form lease or rider evidencing compliance with this paragraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the persons listed in Section XV (Notice and Submissions); or (ii) abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, may be provided to the persons 15 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) listed in Section XV. n. During January of each year after the year in which the Notice referenced below in paragraph 21 is recorded, the owner of any part of the Brownfields Property as of January 1st of that year shall submit a notarized Land Use Restrictions Update (“LURU”) to DEQ, and to the chief public health and environmental officials of Mecklenburg County, certifying that, as of said January 1st, the Notice of Brownfields Property containing these land use restrictions remains recorded at the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds office and that the land use restrictions are being complied with, and stating: i. the name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and contact person’s e-mail address of the owner, board, association, or approved entity submitting the LURU if said owner or each of the owners on whose behalf the joint LURU is submitted acquired any part of the Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year; ii. A renters association or other entity may perform this LURU’s duties, on behalf of some or all owners of the Brownfields Property, if said association or entity has accepted responsibility for such performance pursuant to a notarized instrument satisfactory to DEQ that includes, at a minimum, the name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and e-mail address of each owner on whose behalf the LURU is proposed to be submitted. iii. A LURU submitted for rental units shall include the rent roll and enough of each lease entered into during the previous calendar year to demonstrate compliance with lessee notification requirements in paragraphs 15.m. and 21 of this agreement provided that if standard form leases are used in every instance, a copy of such standard form lease may be sent in lieu of copies of actual leases. 16 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) 16. The desired result of the above-referenced land use restrictions is to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment. 17. The guidelines, including parameters, principles and policies within which the desired results are to be accomplished are, as to field procedures and laboratory testing, the Guidelines of the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch of DEQ’s Superfund Section and the Division of Waste Management Vapor Intrusion Guidance, as embodied in their most current version. 18. The consequence of achieving the desired results will be that the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment. The consequence of not achieving the desired results will be that modifications to land use restrictions and/or remediation in some form may be necessary to fully protect public health and/or the environment. VI. ACCESS/NOTICE TO SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST 19. In addition to providing access to the Brownfields Property pursuant to subparagraph 15.j above, Prospective Developer shall provide DEQ, its authorized officers, employees, representatives, and all other persons performing response actions under DEQ oversight, access at all reasonable times to other property controlled by Prospective Developer in connection with the performance or oversight of any response actions at the Brownfields Property under applicable law. Such access is to occur after prior notice and using reasonable efforts to minimize interference with authorized uses of such other property except in response to emergencies and/or imminent threats to public health and the environment. While Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields Property, DEQ shall provide reasonable notice to Prospective 17 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) Developer of the timing of any response actions to be undertaken by or under the oversight of DEQ at the Brownfields Property. Except as may be set forth in the Agreement, DEQ retains all of its authorities and rights, including enforcement authorities related thereto, under the Act and any other applicable statute or regulation, including any amendments thereto. 20. DEQ has approved, pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35, a Notice of Brownfields Property for the Brownfields Property containing, inter alia, the land use restrictions set forth in Section V (Work to Be Performed) of this Agreement and a survey plat of the Brownfields Property. Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(b), within 15 days of the effective date of this Agreement, Prospective Developer shall file the Notice of Brownfields Property in the Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Register of Deeds’ Office. Within three (3) days thereafter, Prospective Developer shall furnish DEQ a copy of the documentary component of the Notice containing a certification by the register of deeds as to the Book and Page numbers where both the documentary and plat components of the Notice are recorded, and a copy of the plat with notations indicating its recordation. 21. This Agreement shall be attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property. Subsequent to recordation of said Notice, any deed or other instrument conveying an interest in the Brownfields Property shall contain the following notice: “This property is subject to the Brownfields Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property recorded in the Mecklenburg County land records, Book ____, Page ____.” A copy of any such instrument shall be sent to the persons listed in Section XV (Notices and Submissions), though financial figures and other confidential information related to the conveyance may be redacted to the extent said redactions comply with the confidentiality and trade secret provisions of the 18 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) North Carolina Public Records Law. Prospective Developer may use the following mechanisms to comply with the obligations of this paragraph: (i) If every lease and rider is identical in form, Prospective Developer may provide DEQ with copies of a form lease or rider evidencing compliance with this paragraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the persons listed in Section XV (Notices and Submissions); or (ii) Prospective Developer may provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in Section XV. 22. The Prospective Developer shall ensure that a copy of this Agreement is provided to any current lessee or sublessee on the Brownfields Property within seven days of the effective date of this Agreement. VII. DUE CARE/COOPERATION 23. The Prospective Developer shall exercise due care at the Brownfields Property with respect to the manner in which regulated substances are handled at the Brownfields Property and shall comply with all applicable local, State, and federal laws and regulations. The Prospective Developer agrees to cooperate fully with any assessment or remediation of the Brownfields Property by DEQ and further agrees not to interfere with any such assessment or remediation. In the event the Prospective Developer becomes aware of any action or occurrence which causes or threatens a release of contaminants at or from the Brownfields Property, the Prospective Developer shall immediately take all appropriate action to prevent, abate, or minimize such release or threat of release, shall comply with any applicable notification requirements under NCGS § 130A-310.1 and 143-215.85, Section 103 of CERCLA, 42 USC § 9603, and/or any other law, and shall immediately notify the DEQ Official referenced in paragraph 35.a. below of 19 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) any such required notification. VIII. CERTIFICATION 24. By entering into this Agreement, the Prospective Developer certifies that, without DEQ approval, it will make no use of the Brownfields Property other than that committed to in the Brownfields Property Application dated February 7, 2016 by which it applied for this Agreement. That use is multi-family residential, retail, office, and with prior written DEQ approval, other commercial uses. Prospective Developer also certifies that to the best of its knowledge and belief it has fully and accurately disclosed to DEQ all information known to Prospective Developer and all information in the possession or control of its officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents which relates in any way to any past use of regulated substances or known contaminants at the Brownfields Property and to its qualification for this Agreement, including the requirement that it not have caused or contributed to the contamination at the Brownfields Property. IX. DEQ’S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS 25. Unless any of the following apply, Prospective Developer shall not be liable to DEQ, and DEQ covenants not to sue Prospective Developer, for remediation of the Brownfields Property except as specified in this Agreement: a. The Prospective Developer fails to comply with this Agreement. b. The activities conducted on the Brownfields Property by or under the control or direction of the Prospective Developer increase the risk of harm to public health or the environment, in which case Prospective Developer shall be liable for remediation of the areas of the Brownfields Property, remediation of which is required by this Agreement, to the extent 20 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) necessary to eliminate such risk of harm to public health or the environment. c. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required under NCGS § 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the Brownfields Property to unrestricted use standards. d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about contamination at the Brownfields Property. e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the Brownfields Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants, further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement. f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property due to changes in exposure conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property or (ii) the failure of remediation to 21 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Brownfields Property fully protective of public health and the environment as planned in this Agreement. g. DEQ obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the Brownfields Property or exposures at or around the Brownfields Property that raises the risk to public health or the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement. h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35. 26. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act. 27. This Agreement does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain a permit, license or certification, or to comply with any and all other applicable law, including the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, NCGS § 113A-1, et seq. 28. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and any statutory limitations in paragraphs 25 through 27 above, apply to all of the persons listed in NCGS § 130A-310.33, including future owners of the Brownfields Property, to the same extent as Prospective Developer, so long as these persons are not otherwise potentially responsible parties or parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates of potentially responsible parties. X. PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE 29. In consideration of DEQ’s Covenant Not To Sue in Section IX of this Agreement and in recognition of the absolute State immunity provided in NCGS § 130A-310.37(b), the Prospective Developer hereby covenants not to sue and not to assert any claims or causes of 22 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) action against DEQ, its authorized officers, employees, or representatives with respect to any action implementing the Act, including negotiating, entering, monitoring or enforcing this Agreement or the above-referenced Notice of Brownfields Property. XI. PARTIES BOUND 30. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon DEQ, and on the Prospective Developer, its officers, directors, employees, and agents. Each Party’s signatory to this Agreement represents that she or he is fully authorized to enter into the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to legally bind the Party for whom she or he signs. XII. DISCLAIMER 31. Prospective Developer and DEQ agree that this Agreement meets the requirements of the Act, including but not limited to the requirements set forth in NCGS § 130A-310.32(a)(2). However, this Agreement in no way constitutes a finding by DEQ as to the risks to public health and the environment which may be posed by regulated substances at the Brownfields Property, a representation by DEQ that the Brownfields Property is fit for any particular purpose, nor a waiver of Prospective Developer’s duty to seek applicable permits or of the provisions of NCGS § 130A-310.37. 32. Except for the land use restrictions set forth in paragraph 15.a above and NCGS § 130A-310.33(a)(1)-(5)'s provision of the Act's liability protection to certain persons to the same extent as to a prospective developer, no rights, benefits or obligations conferred or imposed upon Prospective Developer under this Agreement are conferred or imposed upon any other person. XIII. DOCUMENT RETENTION 33. The Prospective Developer agrees to retain and make available to DEQ all business 23 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) and operating records, contracts, site studies and investigations, remediation reports, and documents generated by and/or in the control of the Prospective Developer, its affiliates or subsidiaries relating to storage, generation, use, disposal and management of regulated substances at the Brownfields Property, including without limitation all Material Safety Data Sheets or Safety Data Sheets, for six (6) years following the effective date of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. Said records may be retained electronically such that they can be retrieved and submitted to DEQ upon request. At the end of six (6) years, the Prospective Developer shall notify DEQ of the location of such documents and shall provide DEQ with an opportunity to copy any documents at the expense of DEQ. By entering into this Agreement, Prospective Developer waives no rights of confidentiality or privilege provided by the North Carolina Public Records Act or otherwise and, at the time DEQ requests to copy or inspect said documents, Prospective Developer shall provide DEQ with a log of documents withheld from DEQ, including a specific description of the document(s) and the alleged legal basis upon which they are being withheld. To the extent DEQ retains any copies of such documents, Prospective Developer retains all rights it then may have to seek protection from disclosure of such documents as confidential business information. XIV. PAYMENT OF ENFORCEMENT COSTS 34. If the Prospective Developer fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section V (Work to be Performed), it shall be liable for all litigation and other enforcement costs incurred by DEQ to enforce this Agreement or otherwise obtain compliance. 24 20015-16-060/Camden Grandview II (draft 20180108) XV. NOTICES AND SUBMISSIONS 35.
