This Notice concerns contaminated property. A copy of this Notice certified by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) is required to be filed in the Register of Deeds’ Office in the county or counties in which the land is located, pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes (“NCGS”), § 130A-310.35(b). This Notice is required by NCGS § 130A-310.35(a), in order to reduce or eliminate the danger to public health or the environment posed by environmental contamination at a property (“Brownfields Property”) being addressed under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997, NCGS § 130A, Article 9, Part 5 (“Act”). Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(b), the Prospective Developer must file a certified copy of this Notice within 15 days of Prospective Developer’s receipt of DEQ’s approval of the Notice or Prospective Developer’s entry into the Brownfields Agreement required by the Act, whichever is later. The copy of the Notice certified by DEQ must be recorded in the grantor index under the names of the owners of the land and, if Prospective Developer is not the owner, also under the Prospective Developer’s name. The Brownfields Property consists of approximately 10.524 acres and was occupied by Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC, an automotive dealership which included vehicle sales and 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC/20211101 PC 2 service, and auto body repair and painting operations. Tapestry Tyvola, LLC has committed to redevelop the Brownfields Property for no uses other than high density residential use, office, parking, retail, and with prior written DEQ approval, other commercial uses. Historically the Brownfields Property was agricultural and wooded land with two residential structures in the eastern portion of the property from the late-1930s until the mid- 1970s. In 1976, the main automotive dealership building was constructed and operated as Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC. A truck sales office was added in 1987 and an auto paint and body shop added in 2005. The automotive dealership has operated under several names, most recently as Keffer Pre-owned South. The Brownfields Property has been vacant since 2018, and the buildings demolished in late 2020. Onsite activities have contributed to impacts in soil, soil gas, groundwater, and surface water at the Brownfields Property. The Brownfields Agreement between Prospective Developer and DEQ is attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is required by NCGS § 130A-310.32 and sets forth the use that may be made of the Brownfields Property and the measures to be taken to protect public health and the environment. The Brownfields Agreement’s Exhibit 2 consists of one or more data tables reflecting the concentrations of and other information regarding the Brownfields Property’s regulated substances and contaminants. Attached as Exhibit B to this Notice is a reduction, to 8.5 inches x 11 inches, of the survey plat component of this Notice. This plat shows areas designated by DEQ, has been prepared and certified by a professional land surveyor, meets the requirements of NCGS § 47-30, and complies with NCGS § 130A-310.35(a)’s requirement that the Notice identify: (1) The location and dimensions of the areas of potential environmental concern with respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks. (2) The type, location and quantity of regulated substances and contaminants known to exist on the Brownfields Property. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a legal description of the Brownfields Property that would be sufficient as a description of the property in an instrument of conveyance. LAND USE RESTRICTIONS NCGS § 130A-310.35(a) also requires that the Notice identify any restrictions on the current and future use of the Brownfields Property that are necessary or useful to maintain the level of protection appropriate for the designated current or future use of the Brownfields Property and that are designated in the Brownfields Agreement. The restrictions shall remain in force in perpetuity unless canceled by the Secretary of DEQ (or its successor in function), or his/her designee, after the hazards have been eliminated, pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(e). All references to DEQ shall be understood to include any successor in function. 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC/20211101 PC 3 The land use restrictions below have been excerpted verbatim from paragraph 12 of the Brownfields Agreement, and all subparagraph letters/numbers are the same as those used in the Brownfields Agreement.

No use of the Brownfields Property may occur until the then owner of the Brownfields Property conducts representative final grade soil sampling of any area within the Brownfields Property pursuant to a plan approved in writing by DEQ that is not covered by a minimum of 2 feet of demonstratable clean fill or landscaping soil, or by building foundations, sidewalks, or asphaltic or concrete parking areas and driveways. i. 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 above in subparagraph 12.b. j. No enclosed building may be constructed on the Brownfields Property, and no existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16, below, may be occupied until DEQ determines in writing that: i. the building is or would be protective of the building’s users and public health from risk of vapor intrusion based on site assessment data, or a site-specific risk assessment approved in writing by DEQ; or ii. a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) has been: 1. designed to mitigate the intrusion of subsurface vapors into building features in accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) standards, and that a professional engineer licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, is satisfied that the design is fully protective of public health, and shall include a performance monitoring plan detailing methodologies and schedule, both of which are subject to prior written DEQ approval; and 2. installed and an installation report is submitted for written DEQ approval that includes as-built diagrams, photographs, and a description of the installation, with 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC/20211101 PC 6 said engineer’s professional seal confirming that the engineer is satisfied that the system was installed per the DEQ approved design. If any deviations from the system design were necessary during installation, then the report shall include details on said deviations, as well as the engineer’s seal certifying the VIMS, as installed, was installed in such a manner so as to be fully protective of public health. k. Unless an active VIMS is implemented for any high density residential structures in accordance with subparagraph 12.j.ii. above, no occupancy of the Brownfields Property for the uses defined in subparagraph 12.a may occur until a comprehensive work plan for the installation and sampling of sub slab soil gas, and as determined by DEQ, indoor air for each proposed apartment building is approved by DEQ. Said plan shall include at a minimum three semi-annual sampling events (to include warm and cold weather events) and indicate the hazard index for the property has remained unchanged or decreased during each consecutive sampling event to propose for DEQ written consideration the relaxation or cessation of monitoring requirements. The work plan will also include, at a minimum, details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of permanent sub slab monitoring points for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15 within one month after monitoring point installation and then semi-annually for a minimum of three events. Should the analytical results obtained from any of the sampling indicate exposures at the Brownfields Property that raise 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, DEQ may require that the then owner(s) re-evaluate that risk for areas potentially subject to said risk and to take action to reduce said risk to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses authorized below in subparagraph 12.a while fully protecting public health and the environment. l. 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. m. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well or vapor sample point 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. n. 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 XVII (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 North Carolina Public Records Law.

A LURU submitted for rental units shall include enough of each lease entered into during the previous calendar year to demonstrate compliance with lessee notification requirements in subparagraph 12.n, above, and paragraph 17, below, 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. v. A property owners’ 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 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac Buick GMC/20211101 PC 8 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.

The land use restrictions may also be enforced by DEQ through the remedies provided in NCGS § 130A, Article 1, Part 2 or by means of a civil action; by any unit of local government having jurisdiction over any part of the Brownfields Property; and by any person eligible for liability protection under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act who will lose liability protection if the restrictions are violated. Any attempt to cancel any or all of this Notice without the approval of the Secretary of DEQ (or its successor in function), or his/her delegate, shall be subject to enforcement by DEQ to the full extent of the law. Failure by any party required or authorized to enforce any of the above restrictions shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter as to the same violation or as to one occurring prior or subsequent thereto.

Within 90 days after the effective date of this Agreement, the known ASTs shall be removed and addressed in accordance with a plan as identified above in subparagraph 12.b to the written satisfaction of DEQ. 12 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC f. Groundwater at the Brownfields Property may not be used for any purpose without the prior written approval of DEQ along with any measures DEQ deems necessary to ensure that the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in subparagraph 12.a above while fully protecting public health and the environment. Should groundwater be encountered or exposed during any activity on the Brownfields Property, it shall be managed in accordance with the DEQ-approved EMP outlined in subparagraph 12.b., or a plan approved in writing in advance by DEQ. g. No activity that disturbs soil on the Brownfields Property in the Areas of Potential Soil Contamination identified as “Area A” and “Area B” as depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16, may occur unless and 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 12.a. above while fully protecting public health and the environment, except: i. in connection with landscape planting to depths not exceeding 24”; 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; and iv. in connection with work conducted in accordance with a DEQ- approved EMP as outlined above in subparagraph 12.b. 13 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC h. No use of the Brownfields Property may occur until the then owner of the Brownfields Property conducts representative final grade soil sampling of any area within the Brownfields Property pursuant to a plan approved in writing by DEQ that is not covered by a minimum of 2 feet of demonstratable clean fill or landscaping soil, or by building foundations, sidewalks, or asphaltic or concrete parking areas and driveways. i. 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 above in subparagraph 12.b. j. No enclosed building may be constructed on the Brownfields Property, and no existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16, below, may be occupied until DEQ determines in writing that: i. the building is or would be protective of the building’s users and public health from risk of vapor intrusion based on site assessment data, or a site-specific risk assessment approved in writing by DEQ; or ii. a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) has been: 1. designed to mitigate the intrusion of subsurface vapors into building features in accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) standards, and that a professional engineer licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, is satisfied that the design is fully protective of 14 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC public health, and shall include a performance monitoring plan detailing methodologies and schedule, both of which are subject to prior written DEQ approval; and 2. installed and an installation report is submitted for written DEQ approval that includes as-built diagrams, photographs, and a description of the installation, with said engineer’s professional seal confirming that the engineer is satisfied that the system was installed per the DEQ approved design. If any deviations from the system design were necessary during installation, then the report shall include details on said deviations, as well as the engineer’s seal certifying the VIMS, as installed, was installed in such a manner so as to be fully protective of public health. k. Unless an active VIMS is implemented for any high density residential structures in accordance with subparagraph 12.j.ii. above, no occupancy of the Brownfields Property for the uses defined in subparagraph 12.a may occur until a comprehensive work plan for the installation and sampling of sub slab soil gas, and as determined by DEQ, indoor air for each proposed apartment building is approved by DEQ. Said plan shall include at a minimum three semi-annual sampling events (to include warm and cold weather events) and indicate the hazard index for the property has remained unchanged or decreased during each consecutive sampling event to propose for DEQ written consideration the relaxation or cessation of monitoring requirements. The work plan will also include, at a minimum, details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of permanent sub slab monitoring points for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15 within one month after monitoring point installation and then semi-annually for a minimum of three events. Should the analytical results obtained from any of the sampling indicate exposures at the Brownfields Property that raise the risk to public health or 15 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement, DEQ may require that the then owner(s) re-evaluate that risk for areas potentially subject to said risk and to take action to reduce said risk to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses authorized below in subparagraph 12.a while fully protecting public health and the environment. l. 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. m. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well or vapor sample point 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. n. 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 XVII (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 North Carolina Public Records 16 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC Law. The owner conveying an interest may use the following mechanisms to comply with the obligations of this subparagraph: (i) If every lease and rider is identical in form, the owner conveying an interest may provide DEQ with copies of a form lease or rider evidencing compliance with this subparagraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the persons listed in Section XVII (Notice and Submissions); or (ii) The owner conveying an interest may provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in Section XVII. o. 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 and maintenance activities; ii. as fuel or other fluids customarily used in vehicles, landscaping equipment and emergency generators. p. During January of each year after the year in which the Notice referenced below in paragraph 16 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 17 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC the land use restrictions are being complied with. The submitted LURU shall state the following: i. the name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and contact person’s e-mail address of the owner submitting the LURU if said owner acquired any part of the Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year; ii. the transferee’s name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and contact person’s e-mail address, if said owner transferred any part of the Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year; iii. whether any vapor barrier and/or mitigation systems and any associated subgrade vapor monitoring network installed pursuant to subparagraph 12.j. above are performing as designed, and whether the uses of the ground floors of any buildings containing such vapor barrier and/or mitigation systems have changed, and, if so, how. iv. A LURU submitted for rental units shall include enough of each lease entered into during the previous calendar year to demonstrate compliance with lessee notification requirements in subparagraph 12.n, above, and paragraph 17, below, 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. v. A property owners’ 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. 18 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC 13. The desired result of the above-referenced land use restrictions is to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in this Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment. 14. 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. VIII. ACCESS/NOTICE TO SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST 15. In addition to providing access to the Brownfields Property pursuant to subparagraph 12.l. 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 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. 19 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC 16. DEQ has approved, pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35, a Notice of Brownfields Property (“Notice”) for the Brownfields Property containing, inter alia, the land use restrictions set forth in Section VII (Land Use Restrictions) 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 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. 17. This Agreement shall be attached as Exhibit A to the Notice. 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 XVII (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 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 20 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC Section XVII (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 XVII. 18. 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. IX. DUE CARE/COOPERATION 19. 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 subparagraph 31.a. below of any such required notification. X. CERTIFICATION 20. 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 May 18, 2021, by which it applied for this 21 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC Agreement. That use is that which is provided in paragraph 12.a. of this Agreement. 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. XI. DEQ’S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS 21. 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 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 22 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC 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 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. 23 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35. 22. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act. 23. 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. 24. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and any statutory limitations in paragraphs 21 through 23 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. XII. PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE 25. In consideration of DEQ’s Covenant Not To Sue in Section XI 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 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. XIII. PARTIES BOUND 26. 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 24 23064-19-060/Dick Keffer Pontiac/20211101 PC 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.
