Property Owner: HANIMPJV South End NC, LLC Recorded in Book ____, Page ____ Associated plat recorded in Plat Book ____, Page ____ NOTICE OF BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY
Brownfields Property Name: Selles Bagwell Brownfields Project Number: 24008-20-060 This documentary component of a Notice of Brownfields Property (“Notice”), as well as the plat component, have been filed this _____ day of __________________, 2023 by HANIMPJV South End NC, LLC (“Prospective Developer”). 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 one parcel comprising approximately 4.062 acres, located at 2301 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County. The current parcel is a re-
24008-20-060/Selles Bagwell/8Mar2023 PC

combination of six parcels at 2301, 2311, 2321, and 2405 S. Tryon Street, and 2300 and
2322/2324 Distribution Street. Historically the Brownfields Property was largely undeveloped land with two small buildings used by Standard Memorial Works and Beasley Coal in the 1930s, and a single-family residence in the 1940s. During the 1950s the land was cleared, and during the 1960s through the 1980s, commercial office/warehouse buildings were constructed on the
Brownfields Property. Light industrial and commercial businesses included: Interstate Electric
Company (electrical contracting), Selles Bagwell (textile machinery), Best Tile (floor tile storage and distribution), Kelly & McArdle Construction (general contractor), World of Stone (stone countertop fabricator) and a variety of commercial and retail tenants including auto parts and service, laboratory supplies, janitorial supplies, metal distributor, specialty tool supplies, martial
arts studio, garage door company, wood shop, a retail grill store and pet food store. Historic off-
site and on-site activities are suspected to have contributed to environmental impacts in soil, soil gas, and groundwater at the Brownfields Property. Demolition of the buildings on the Brownfields Property began in December 2021. HANIMPJV South End NC, LLC has committed itself to redevelop the Brownfields Property for no uses other than high-density
residential, office, parking, retail, recreational, warehousing, and with prior written DEQ
approval, other commercial and industrial uses. 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
24008-20-060/Selles Bagwell/8Mar2023 PC

existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 17, 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 vapors for subgrade 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 said design shall fully protect public health to the satisfaction of a professional engineer licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, 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 details on any deviations from the system design, as-built diagrams, photographs, and a description of the installation with said engineer’s professional seal confirming that the system was installed per the DEQ-approved design and will be protective of
public health.
j. No occupancy of the Brownfields Property may occur until a work plan for the sampling of sub-slab vapor and concurrent indoor air sampling is approved by DEQ, and until the first round of sampling activities under the work plan is completed to DEQ’s written satisfaction. The work plan, which may be included with the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan
in accordance with subparagraph 13.i above to be approved in advance in writing by DEQ will
include, at a minimum, the following: i. details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of permanent sub-slab vapor monitoring points and sampling of indoor air for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15;

Specifically, in accordance with said DEQ-approved Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan, post-
occupancy sub-slab soil gas sampling will be completed approximately 6 months following the pre-occupancy sampling event, followed by one additional event completed approximately 6 months later, for a total of three sampling events (including pre-occupancy sampling). A pre-occupancy and post-occupancy indoor air sampling event will also be conducted. If the first
post-occupancy indoor air sampling event indicates consecutively consistent or decreasing
concentrations within acceptable risk levels, a request to terminate indoor air sampling may be submitted for DEQ review and written approval. If additional post-occupancy indoor air sampling events are required, they will be conducted semi-annually, as needed, in concurrence with the sub-slab soil gas sampling. If semi-annual sampling event results indicate consecutively
consistent or decreasing concentrations within acceptable risk levels, a request to terminate the
semi-annual sub-slab and/or indoor air sampling events may be submitted for DEQ review and written approval. iii. a plan to convert any passive portion of the vapor mitigation system to active including a resampling plan to be conducted within 14 days, or on another schedule
approved in writing in advance by DEQ, if the analytical results obtained from the sub-slab
vapor and indoor air 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 under applicable Brownfields Redevelopment Section or DWM guidelines. Should the analytical results obtained from the sub-slab vapor and indoor air 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 13.a
while fully protecting public health and the environment.
Property Access k. 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.
Damage to Monitoring Wells
l. 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.

persons listed in Section XVII.
Separating Old from New Contamination n. 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. Land Use Restriction Update
o. During January of each year after the year in which the Notice referenced below in paragraph 17 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,

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
Historical Operations &
Contaminant Sources
i. The Brownfields Property was primarily undeveloped or
agricultural until the late 1930s. ii. In the late 1930s two small buildings were located on the Brownfields Property and occupied by Standard Memorial
Works and Beasley Coal. A residence occupied a portion of the
property from the 1940s until the 1960s, when the residence was razed. iii. In the 1950s much of the Brownfields Property was graded
and transitioned to commercial use. Between the late 1950s
and the early 1980s, six commercial/warehousing buildings were constructed on the property. Historical operations on the Brownfields Property included: - Interstate Electric, an electrical contracting company
that operated at 2321 S. Tryon St. from approximately
1959 until 2021; - A duplex warehouse building constructed in 1964 at 2322/2324 Distribution St. housed various businesses including a janitorial supplier, construction company,
machine shop, wood shop, iron works, auto service, and
most recently Charlotte Grill, a grill store, and Pet
4
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
Wants Urban Feed store.
- In 1966, the building at 2300 Distribution St. was constructed and occupied by various tenants including a metal distributor, a manufacturers agent, a specialty metal tool supplier and most recently by World of
Stone a stone countertop fabricator until 2021;
- After construction in 1967, Selles Bagwell, a textile machinery company occupied its office/warehouse building 2311 S. Tryon St. until the early 2000s, and then Best Tile, a floor tile supplier occupied the
building until 2021;
- In 1976, a light industrial warehouse building was constructed at 2405 S. Tryon St. and occupied by various tenants including an auto parts distributor, miscellaneous warehousing tenants, a martial arts
studio, a garage door company, and a paper distributor
before being vacant for several years; - In 1984, an office/warehouse building was built at 2301 S. Tryon St. and occupied by a laboratory supply business until 2010, and then by Kelly & McArdle, a
residential construction company until 2021.
iv. In 1991, a 1,000-gallon gasoline underground storage tank (UST) and associated contaminated soil were removed from the Interstate Electric parcel at 2321 S. Tryon St. Based on
confirmation sample results, NC DEQ concluded in May 1991
that no additional assessment was necessary. v. In 2002, a pile of machine shop metal shavings and approximately 68.81 tons of oil and grease impacted soil were
removed from an area behind the former Selles Bagwell
building at 2311 S. Tryon St. Based on confirmation sampling, NC DEQ concluded in September 2002 that no further action was necessary.
vi. Recent assessment data indicate elevated chlorinated
solvents in groundwater in the east portion of the property near the intersection of Dunavant and Distribution Streets; the source is believed to be from documented groundwater contamination at an up-gradient property.
Current Operations/Activities All operations on the Brownfields Property have ceased and site redevelopment activities have commenced.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
Contaminated Media
Soil: Arsenic and hexavalent chromium were detected above
the NC Residential Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). Groundwater: 1,4-Dioxane, hexachloro-1,3-butadiene,
tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and vinyl
chloride (VC) were detected above North Carolina 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Groundwater Standards. Concentrations of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene, TCE, and VC in groundwater exceed the NC Residential Groundwater Vapor Intrusion
Screening Levels
Soil Vapor: Benzene and TCE were detected above the NC Residential Soil Gas Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels.
ID Numbers/Permits
AST Incident #86312 (MO-86312) Selles Bagwell, 2311 S. Tryon Street; UST Incident #8776 (MO-3517) Interstate Electric, 2321 S.
Tryon Street
Onsite Receptors Considered Residents, on-site workers, construction workers, and visitors.
Potential Offsite Receptors
Considered
Residential structures, churches, or childcare centers: Multiple single-story, multi-unit rental homes are located approximately 100 ft west (side-gradient) of the Brownfields Property; a multi-story high density residential apartment building is
located approximately 100 feet north (up-gradient); a multi-
story high density residential apartment building is being developed approximately 100 ft east (side-gradient) of the Brownfields Property; and the South Tryon Community Methodist Church is located approximately 350 feet west of the
Brownfield Property.
Potential offsite migration pathways
Groundwater: The source of chlorinated solvents in
groundwater in the east portion of the Brownfields Property
likely originates at an up-gradient off-site property. Groundwater flow is from the north to the south suggesting groundwater contamination may migrate towards property(ies) south of the Brownfields Property.
4. Environmental reports regarding the Brownfields Property referred to hereinafter as
the “Environmental Reports,” include, but are not limited to those that the Prospective Developer
obtained or commissioned regarding the Brownfields Property:

Vapor Intrusion
i. 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 17, 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 vapors for subgrade building features in
accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Interstate
16
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) standards, and
that said design shall fully protect public health to the satisfaction of a professional engineer
licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, 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 details on any deviations from the system design, as-built diagrams,
photographs, and a description of the installation with said engineer’s professional seal
confirming that the system was installed per the DEQ-approved design and will be protective of
public health.
j. No occupancy of the Brownfields Property may occur until a work plan for the
sampling of sub-slab vapor and concurrent indoor air sampling is approved by DEQ, and until
the first round of sampling activities under the work plan is completed to DEQ’s written
satisfaction. The work plan, which may be included with the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan
in accordance with subparagraph 13.i above to be approved in advance in writing by DEQ will
include, at a minimum, the following:
i. details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of
permanent sub-slab vapor monitoring points and sampling of indoor air for VOCs by EPA
Method TO-15;
ii. post-occupancy semi-annual sub-slab vapor and concurrent indoor air
sampling will be completed in accordance with the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan, dated April
17
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
29, 2022 and approved by DEQ March 2, 2022, as may be amended with DEQ written approval.
Specifically, in accordance with said DEQ-approved Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan, post-
occupancy sub-slab soil gas sampling will be completed approximately 6 months following the
pre-occupancy sampling event, followed by one additional event completed approximately 6
months later, for a total of three sampling events (including pre-occupancy sampling). A pre-
occupancy and post-occupancy indoor air sampling event will also be conducted. If the first
post-occupancy indoor air sampling event indicates consecutively consistent or decreasing
concentrations within acceptable risk levels, a request to terminate indoor air sampling may be
submitted for DEQ review and written approval. If additional post-occupancy indoor air
sampling events are required, they will be conducted semi-annually, as needed, in concurrence
with the sub-slab soil gas sampling. If semi-annual sampling event results indicate consecutively
consistent or decreasing concentrations within acceptable risk levels, a request to terminate the
semi-annual sub-slab and/or indoor air sampling events may be submitted for DEQ review and
written approval.
iii. a plan to convert any passive portion of the vapor mitigation system to
active including a resampling plan to be conducted within 14 days, or on another schedule
approved in writing in advance by DEQ, if the analytical results obtained from the sub-slab
vapor and indoor air 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 under applicable Brownfields Redevelopment Section or DWM guidelines.
Should the analytical results obtained from the sub-slab vapor and indoor air sampling
indicate exposures at the Brownfields Property that raise the risk to public health or the
18
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
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 13.a
while fully protecting public health and the environment.
Property Access
k. 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.
Damage to Monitoring Wells
l. 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.
Notification of Tenants
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
19
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
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. 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.
Separating Old from New Contamination
n. 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

associated subgrade vapor monitoring network installed pursuant to subparagraph 13.i. 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 13.m, 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.
14. The desired result of the above-referenced land use restrictions is to make the
21
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in this Agreement while fully protecting

DEQ approval, it will make no use of the Brownfields Property other than that committed to in
the Brownfields Property Application dated December 9, 2021, by which it applied for this
Agreement. That use is that which is provided above in subparagraph 13.a. of this Agreement.
24
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
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
22. 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
that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to
25
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
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.
h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of
26
Selles Bagwell/24008-20-060/8Mar2023 PC
Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35.
23. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective
Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act.
24. 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.
25. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and
any statutory limitations in paragraphs 22 through 24 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
26. 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
27. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon DEQ, and on the Prospective
