<br />The Grantee acknowledges that Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant has been identified as
<br />a National Priority List (NPL) site under the Comprehensive, Environmental, Response,

<br />Army Ammunition Plant Federal Facility Agreement (FFA), entered into by the United States
<br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII, the State of Nebraska, and the Department
<br />of the Army, effective September 1990, and a copy of any amendments thereto, have been
<br />provided the Grantee. The Grantee, its successors and assigns, agree that should any conflict
<br />arise between the terms of the FFA as they presently exist or may be amended, and the
<br />provisions of this property transfer, the terms of the FFA will take precedence. The Grantee, its
<br />successors and assigns, further agree that notwithstanding any other provisions of this deed, the
<br />Grantor assumes no liability to the Grantee, its successors and assigns, should implementation of
<br />the FFA interfere with their use of the property. The Grantee, its successors and assigns, shall
<br />have no claim on account of any such interference against the Grantor or any officer, agent,
<br />employee or contractor thereof.
<br />b. Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) and Finding of Suitability to Transfer
<br />(FOST)
<br />1. The Grantee has received the technical environmental reports, including the
<br />Environmental Baseline Survey for the Property dated 9 -20 November 1998 and the FOST for
<br />the property dated March 2004, prepared by the Grantor, and agrees, to the best of the Grantee's
<br />knowledge, that they accurately describe the environmental condition of the Property. The
<br />Grantee has inspected the Property and accepts the physical condition and current level of
<br />environmental hazards on the Property and deems the Property to be safe for the Grantee's
<br />intended use.
<br />2. If an actual or threatened release of a hazardous substance or petroleum product is
<br />discovered on the Property after the date of the conveyance, whether or not such substance was
<br />set forth in the technical environmental reports, including the EBS, Grantee or its successors or
<br />assigns shall be responsible for such release or newly discovered substance unless Grantee is
<br />able to demonstrate that such release or such newly discovered substance was due to Grantor's
<br />activities, ownership, use, or occupation of the Property. Grantee, its successors and assigns, as
<br />consideration for the conveyance, agree to release Grantor from any liability or responsibility for
<br />any claims arising solely out of the release of any hazardous substance or petroleum product on
<br />the Property occurring after the date of this Deed, where such substance or product was placed
<br />on the Property by the Grantee, or its successors, assigns, employees, invitees, agents or
<br />contractors, after the conveyance. This Subsection IV.b. shall not affect the Grantor's
<br />responsibilities to conduct response actions or corrective actions that are required by applicable
<br />laws, rules and regulations.
