Title to the Greene Tract, <br /> however, shall not be conveyed to the County pursuant to this <br /> paragraph; Part 5 is and shall be the only portion of this Agreement <br /> affecting the state of the title to the Greene Tract. <br /> Assume system liabilities. The County will assume all <br /> liabilities, including environmental liabilities, related to the <br /> ownership of the System, including, to the extent permitted by law, <br /> all liabilities related to the ownership of Existing System Assets <br /> which have accrued or which may accrue prior to the Transfer Date. <br /> The Parties, however, shall retain their individual liability, <br /> if any, under environmental laws and otherwise, related to their <br /> respective use of the System both before and after the Transfer Date <br /> (as, for example, any liability arising from their delivering, or <br /> causing to be delivered, Solid Waste to System Management Facilities) . <br /> The Parties acknowledge that the County's assumption of liabilities as <br /> described in the preceding paragraph shall not limit, and is not <br /> intended to limit, the ability of any governmental authority to <br /> impose, or to seek to impose, environmental or other liability <br /> directly on a Party (as, for example, any liability accruing to the <br /> current owners of the Existing System Assets as a result of their <br /> status as owners prior to the Transfer Date) . The County will not <br /> assume, and by this Agreement does not assume, any indebtedness of <br /> Carrboro or Chapel Hill. <br /> Acquire property. The County shall acquire real and personal <br /> property as it deems appropriate for System purposes.

The County will comply, or <br /> cause there to be compliance, with all applicable laws, orders, rules, <br /> regulations and requirements of any governmental authority relating to <br /> the System. The County will also be generally responsible for solid <br /> waste reporting, planning, regulatory compliance and similar matters. <br /> Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prevent the County from <br /> contesting in good faith the applicability or validity of any such law <br /> or other requirement, so long as the County's failure to comply with <br /> the same during the period of such contest will not materially impair <br /> the System' s operation or revenue-producing capability. <br /> 2 <br />
