Settling Defendants would relinquish all
claims or causes of action with respect
to the Site against the United States,
including DLA, and would waive all
affirmative CERCLA claims or causes of
action that they may have against any
person. In return, the Settling

the Site as well as past and future
response costs, subject to certain
