requirements to clear any defects and imperfections in all matters of record title, the Grantor

knowledge of disposal, release, or threatened release of hazardous substances on, from, or under
the Property, or Grantor's remaining adjacent property, which may have occurred prior to

property. Grantor has not installed any underground storage tanks, above ground storage tanks,
barrels, sumps, impoundments or other containers used to contain hazardous substances on any
part of the Property or Grantor's remaining adjacent property. Grantors are not aware of any

the contamination.
