The Redevelopment Property consists of the parcel legally described in Schedule A hereof. As of the date of this Agreement, the Redeveloper is under contract to acquire fee title to the Redevelopment Property. The Redeveloper acknowledges that the Authority has no obligation to acquire any of the Redevelopment Property. Section 3.2. Environmental Undertakings. (a) The Redeveloper acknowledges that the Authority makes no representations or warranties as to soil and environmental condition on the Redevelopment Property or the fitness of the Redevelopment Property for construction of the Minimum Improvements or any other purpose for which the Redeveloper may make use of such property, and that the assistance provided to the Redeveloper under this Agreement neither implies any responsibility by the Authority for any contamination of the Redevelopment Property or poor soil conditions nor imposes any obligation on the Authority to participate in any cleanup of the Redevelopment Property and/or correction of any soil problems (other than the financing described in this agreement).
