responsibility for such Oil or Hazardous Materials.
<br />6.2 Manifests. In tine event that the scope of services includes the remediation of any Oil or Hazardous Materials,
<br />before BOA removes from a site any Oil or Hazardous Materials, Client will sign any required waste manifests in
<br />conformance with all DOT and other government regulations, listing Client as the generator of the waste. If someone
<br />other than Client is the generator of the waste, Client will arrange for such other person to sign such manifests. BOA
<br />will not directly or indirectly assume title to or own or be deemed to possess any materials handled or removed form
<br />any site, including Oil or Hazardous Materials. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to make BOA a
<br />"generator" as defined in RCRA or any similar laws governing the treatment, storage, or disposal of waste. Except to
<br />file extent BOA's responsibilities expressly include identification of the waste, Client will provide waste material
<br />profiles, which accurately characterize the waste. If the services include transportation of Hazardous Materials or Oil,
<br />BOA may evaluate and recommend possible disposal sites for Clients use. However, under RCRA and CERCLA, the
<br />client, as generator, has ultimate responsibility for selection of the disposal site. Client acknowledges and agrees that it
<br />will evaluate and select the proper disposal site and be solely responsible therefore.
<br />6.3 Hazardous Materials indemnification. Client acknowledges that BOA does not have any responsibility for
<br />preexisting Oil and Hazardous Materials at the site, any resultant contamination there from, or, except as expressly
<br />agreed in writing, for previous detection, monitoring, handling, storage, transportation, disposal, or treatment, that
<br />BOA's compensation is not commensurate with the unusually high risks associated with such materials, and that
<br />insurance is not reasonably available to protect against such risks. Therefore, for separate consideration of $10 and
<br />other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and in addition to
<br />the indemnification provided in Section 5.2, Client agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend BOA against all
<br />damages arising out of or related to Oil or Hazardous Materials located at or removed from the site, including damages
<br />such as the cost of response or remediation arising out of application of common law or statues such as CERCLA or
<br />other "St ►perfu nd" laws imposing strict liability.
<br />Article 7: Miscellaneous Provisions

<br />provided by Client or developed by BOA in tine course of its services and designated by Client as confidential (bat not
<br />including information which is publicly available, is already in BOA's possession, or obtained form third parties), BOA
<br />will not be liable for disclosing such information if it in good faith believes such disclosure is required by law or is

<br />except in emergency) of any such disclosure.

<br />that the Client and BOA, without the express written consent of both parties. Tine relationship between Client and BOA

<br />create a relationship of agency, partnership, or joint venture.

<br />laws of the State of Texas. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not a part of tine agreement

<br />any purchase order, work order, or other document provided by Client modify or amend this Agreement, even if it is
<br />signed by BOA, unless BOA signs a written statement expressly indicating that such terms supersede the terms of this
<br />Agreement. In the event of an inconsistency between these General Conditions and any other writings, which comprise
<br />this Agreement, ti ►e other writings will take precedence.
