stored on the right-of-way authorized under this agreement.
Additionally, any release of toxic substances in excess of
established reportable quantities shall be reported as required
by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act. A copy of any report required or requested by any
Federal agency or State government as a result of a reportable
release or spill of any toxic substances shall be furnished to
the authorized officer concurrent with the filing of the reports
to the involved Federal agency or State government.
b. The Grantee agrees to indemnify the United States
against any liability arising from the release of any hazardous
substance or hazardous waste on the right-of-way (unless the
release or threatened release is wholly unrelated to the
Grantee's activity on the right-of-way) or resulting from the
activity of the Grantee on the right-of-way. This agreement
applies without regard to whether a release is caused by the
Grantee, his agent or unrelated third parties.

Grantee shall, at the option of the Contracting Officer, remove

and facilities to a safe and sightly condition satisfactory to
the Contracting Officer. If the Grantee fails to remove its
structures and facilities within sixty (60) days after
termination of the agreement, such structures and facilities, at
the option of the Contracting Officer, shall become the property
of the United States, and the United States may remove the same
and restore the lands at the expense of the Grantee, which shall
promptly pay for such work upon receipt of billing.
13. The provisions of this agreement shall apply to and
bind the successors and assigns of the parties hereto, but no
assignment or transfer of this agreement or any part or interest
therein shall be valid until approved by the Contracting Officer.

mortgages, deeds of trust, or similar liens upon the interest of
the Grantee or upon the Grantee's own improvements on the
premises; or to the pledge or assignment of this agreement as
security for the financing of the Grantee; or to the voluntary or
involuntary transfers in pursuance of such instruments.
14. This agreement can be amended as necessary upon the
approval of the parties hereto.
15. This agreement shall terminate:

Grantee fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions
