Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 5.2 to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the uses permitted hereunder. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant's industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the Premises (the "Hazardous Materials List"). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and shall also deliver an updated Hazardous Materials List before any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any changes to the Hazardous Materials List provided that the types and quantities of Hazardous Materials stated therein are of the type and amount customarily used by tenants of comparable first-class biotechnology projects, including other tenants of the Project.

Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials that are necessary for Tenant's business and to the extent disclosed in a Hazardous Materials disclosure certificate (the "HazMat Certificate") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and as expressly approved by Landlord in writing, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.

Tenant shall, commencing with the date which is one year from the Commencement Date and continuing every year thereafter, and at such other times as Landlord may request, deliver to Landlord an updated executed HazMat Certificate describing Tenant's then-present use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and any other reasonably necessary documents and information as requested by Landlord. Any usage and storage of Hazardous Materials by Tenant may only be to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous Materials as specified in the then-applicable HazMat Certificate as expressly approved by Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion. In all events such usage and storage must at all times be in full compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises and in compliance with the recommendations of Landlord's consultants. Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent HazMat Certificate be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.

Business. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use.

Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, generated, released or disposed of on, under, from or about the Premises (including without limitation the soil and groundwater thereunder) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining prior written consent of Landlord, to utilize within the Premises (collectively, the “Permitted Hazmats”): # a reasonable quantity of standard office and cleaning products that may contain Hazardous Materials (such as photocopy toner, “White Out”, and the like), provided however, that Tenant shall follow all instructions with respect to the storage, use and disposal of such products; and # those Hazardous Materials in kind and content listed on the Survey Form delivered to Landlord prior to the execution of this Lease. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to such products, and # all of the other terms and provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply with respect to Tenant’s storage, use and disposal of all Permitted Hazmats. Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, place such conditions as Landlord deems appropriate with respect to Tenant’s use, storage and/or disposal of any Hazardous Materials requiring Landlord’s consent. Tenant understands that Landlord may utilize an environmental consultant to assist in determining conditions of approval in connection with the storage, use, release, and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant on or about the Premises, and/or to conduct periodic inspections of the storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal of such Hazardous Materials by Tenant on and from the Premises, and Tenant agrees that any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder upon demand.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 14, if # Tenant or any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to take material remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such party's action or omission or use of the property in question or # Tenant or any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee is subject to a material enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal or storage of Hazardous Materials, then it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed transfer, assignment or subletting (with respect to any such matter involving a proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee).

Except for normal cleaning supplies and the materials set forth in the Initial HazMat Certificate, Tenant shall not be entitled to use or store any Hazardous Materials on, in, or about any portion of the Premises and the Project without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord's prior written consent thereto. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, consents to any such usage or storage, then Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials that are necessary for Tenant's business and to the extent disclosed in the HazMat Certificate and as expressly approved by Landlord in writing. Any such usage and storage may only be to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous Materials as specified in the then-applicable HazMat Certificate as expressly approved by Landlord. In all events such usage and storage must at all times be in full compliance with any and all local, state and federal environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts' decisions, ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises (collectively, the "Environmental Laws") and in compliance with the recommendations of Landlord's consultants. Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent HazMat Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's sole discretion, at all times during the Term of this Lease to # inspect the Premises, # conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 27 or to determine if Hazardous Materials are present in, on or about the Project, # request lists of all Hazardous Materials used, stored or otherwise located on, under or about any portion of the Premises and/or the Common Areas, and # to require Tenant to complete a survey of its use, storage and handling of Hazardous Materials in the Premises, using a form and following procedures reasonably designated by Landlord (the "Survey"). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations, and all costs associated with any Survey if Tenant is responsible for any contamination revealed by such Survey. If as a result of an inspection, test or Survey Landlord determines, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, that Tenant should implement or perform safety, security or compliance measures, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord perform such measures, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. The aforementioned rights granted herein to Landlord and its representatives shall not create # a duty on Landlord's part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant and Tenant Parties with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, Tenant's operation, use and any remediation relating thereto, or # liability on the part of Landlord and its representatives for Tenant's use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall comply with, and shall cause the Tenant Parties to comply with, all Laws relating to the storage, use and disposal of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials at the Property; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for contamination of the Leased Premises and/or the Buildings or the Property (including any parking garage) by Hazardous Materials # existing as of the date the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant (whether before or after the Lease Commencement Date), # that have migrated from outside the Leased Premises not caused by Tenant or the Tenant Parties, or # used, stored, disposed or otherwise released by Landlord’s or any Landlord Party, excepting only contamination caused or permitted by Tenant or the Tenant Parties. Tenant shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for those Hazardous Materials listed in a Hazardous Materials management plan (“HMMP”) which Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within thirty (30) days after mutual execution and delivery of this Lease and update at least annually with Landlord and after any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Leased Premises (“Permitted Materials”) which may be used, stored and disposed of provided # such Permitted Materials are used, stored, transported, and disposed of in strict compliance with applicable laws, # such Permitted Materials shall be limited to the materials listed on and may be used only in the quantities specified in the HMMP, and # Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all material safety data sheets and other documentation required under applicable Laws in connection with Tenant’s use of Permitted Materials as and when such documentation is provided to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction. Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no liability and at material cost to Landlord, in obtaining any permits required by applicable Law for the use of the Leased Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use, such cooperation to exclude executing or joining in the execution of such applications and other documentation, provided that if Tenant is required by Laws to obtain a conditional use permit or other similar land use approval in order to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use and in connection therewith the applicable governmental agency requires Landlord, as owner, to sign a consent or similar document, then Landlord will agree to act reasonably, at no liability and at material cost to Landlord, in connection with such requirement. In no event shall Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties conduct any invasive or destructive environmental tests of the Leased Premises or cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Building any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s storage, use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall further be solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required hereunder to return the Leased Premises and any other property of whatever nature to their condition as required under applicable Law.

Tenant Hazardous Materials. Tenant will # obtain and maintain in full force and effect all Environmental Permits (as defined below) that may be required from time to time under any Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or the Premises, and # with respect to the Premises, be and remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such Environmental Permits and with all other Environmental Laws. "Environmental Permits" means, collectively, any and all permits, consents, licenses, approvals and registrations of any nature at any time required pursuant to, or in order to comply with any Environmental Law. On or before the Lease Commencement Date and on each annual anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date thereafter, as well as at any other time following Tenant's receipt of a reasonable request from Landlord, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord a list of all Hazardous Materials anticipated to be used by Tenant in the Premises and the quantities thereof if other than Permitted Chemicals. At any time following Tenant's receipt of a request from Landlord, Tenant shall promptly complete an "environmental questionnaire" using the form then-provided by Landlord. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the Premises, the Building and the Project, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials, which are installed, brought upon, stored, used, generated or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Building, and/or the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant and/or any Tenant Parties (such obligation to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease). Nothing in this Lease shall impose any liability on Tenant for any Hazardous Materials in existence in any Phase of the Premises, the Building or the Project prior to the applicable Delivery Date or brought onto the Premises, Building or Project after the Lease Commencement Date by any third parties not under Tenant's control.
