Undercarriage Rust

I recently purchased a 2005 Expedition with only 10,000 miles from a dealership in Mass. I had a third party inspection company perform an inspection and there were no noted problems. When the vehicle arrived I checked it out and noticed a lot of rust on the drive shaft and also in the manifold area. How concerned should I be? Is it possible that this could be corrected under the original warranty or is this a vehicle that I should sell before I have problems?

Not sure about the drive shaft but the exhaust manifold is cast iron. I've never seen one that isn't rusty looking. Nothing to worry about.
