interfering with the operation of the business or with planned construction activities.
10. Non -revocable. If Property is the source of the discharge that is eligible for State funded
remediation pursuant to Chapter 376, Florida Statutes, access to the Property is required and
Owner may not revoke this Agreement with the Department until the appropriate site
rehabilitation completion order is issued under Chapter 62-780.680 or a low -scored site initiative
order issued pursuant to Section 376.3071(12)(b), Florida Statutes, is final.
11. No Admission. The granting of this Agreement by the Owner is not intended, nor should

Department and its Contractors will work with the Owner regarding minimizing activities that
may interfere with the Owner's management and use of the Property. However, neither the

Department performed by the Owner's selected contractor arising from or by virtue of, the

Contractor has indemnified the Department. However, if the Owner chooses to enter into a
separate access agreement with the Contractor, the Contractor is not prohibited from
indemnifying Owner as long as such indemnification does not conflict with the Contractor's
indemnification of the Department. Where no conflicts exist, any subsequent indemnification by
the Contractor to any party associated with the Permissible Activities is subservient and
subordinate to the Contractor's indemnification of the Department.

applicable law (Section 768.28, Florida Statutes) for damages caused by the acts of its employees
while on the Property.
