The Redevelopment Property consists <br />of the parcel legally described in Schedule A hereof. As of the date of this Agreement, the <br />Redeveloper is under contract to acquire fee title to the Redevelopment Property. The Redeveloper <br />acknowledges that the Authority has no obligation to acquire any of the Redevelopment Property. <br />Section 3.2. Environmental Undertakings. <br />(a) The Redeveloper acknowledges that the Authority makes no representations or <br />warranties as to soil and environmental condition on the Redevelopment Property or the fitness of <br />the Redevelopment Property for construction of the Minimum Improvements or any other purpose <br />for which the Redeveloper may make use of such property, and that the assistance provided to the <br />Redeveloper under this Agreement neither implies any responsibility by the Authority for any <br />contamination of the Redevelopment Property or poor soil conditions nor imposes any obligation on <br />the Authority to participate in any cleanup of the Redevelopment Property and/or correction of any <br />soil problems (other than the financing described in this agreement). <br />(b) Without limiting its obligations under Section 8.3 of this Agreement the <br />Redeveloper further agrees that it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Authority, the City, <br />and their governing body members, officers, and employees, from any claims or actions arising out <br />of the presence, if any, of hazardous wastes or pollutants existing on or in the Redevelopment <br />Property unless and to the extent that such hazardous wastes or pollutants are present as a result of <br />the actions or omissions of the indemnitees.

To reimburse the demolition portion of the Public <br />Redevelopment Costs incurred by Redeveloper, the Authority shall provide the Redeveloper with a <br />single payment of $600,000 (the "Demolition Payment") upon Redeveloper having delivered to the <br />Authority one or more certificates signed by the Redeveloper's duly authorized representative, <br />together with reasonable evidence that at least $600,000 in costs for demolition have been paid <br />or incurred by or on behalf of the Redeveloper. The Authority may, if not satisfied with the <br />evidence provided by Redeveloper, return such evidence with a statement of the reasons why it is <br />not acceptable and requesting such further documentation or clarification as the Authority may <br />reasonably require.
