EXHIBIT A
Work to be completed by Seller

In addition to the work to be completed by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2.1 of the Agreement, Seller shall instruct its environmental consultant to conduct testing of the following areas and shall remediate of any identified conditions:

1.
Testing of one passenger elevator shaft in the west hallway (just north of the original passenger elevator previously tested) and any necessary remediation.

2.
Testing of the pumping and treatment vault (below grade in the front lawn) for the moat in front of the main building and any necessary remediation.

3.
Testing of the truck wash area (Seller will saw cut a 6'x6' section, excavate 3' below grade, sample & test materials for nickel that showed in the initial boring tests) and any necessary remediation. The excavated area will be back-filled with clean soil, compacted and repaved.

4.
Testing of the oil storage area (two excavations, one for each sump grate) and any necessary remediation. The excavated area will be back filled with clean soil, compacted and repaved.

5.
Removal of the four (4) clarifier vaults located between the Fleet Maintenance Building and Main Building and any necessary remediation of conditions. Because the effluent waste flow out of the showers and restrooms in the Fleet Maintenance Building currently flows through these vaults, the showers and restrooms will not be operational after the removal of the vaults. These facilities may be restored by Buyer by completing a connection to the main sewer line. In the event that the cost of removal of the clarifier vaults exceeds $50,000, Seller, at Seller’s election, may allow a $50,000 credit to Buyer in escrow in lieu of completing this work.

6.
Removal of the three vehicle lifts and any necessary remediation of conditions.
