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 may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Requirements. 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 Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List at least once a year listing all Hazardous Materials which Tenant is required to disclose to any Governmental Authority (e.g., the fire department) in connection with its use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (the “Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in 3 months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors.

Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Article to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the Permitted Use. 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 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 # a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Premises that is subject to regulation under any environmental Applicable Laws in the form of a Tier II form pursuant to [Section 312] of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (or any successor statute) or any other form reasonably requested by Landlord, # a list of any and all approvals or permits from Governmental Authorities required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the Premises and # correct and complete copies of # notices of violations of Applicable Laws related to Hazardous Materials and # plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Project (provided that installation of storage tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) and closure plans or any other documents required by any and all Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Project for the closure of any such storage tanks (collectively, “Hazardous Materials Documents”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord updated Hazardous Materials Documents, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of a written request therefor from Landlord, not more often than once per year, unless # there are any changes to the Hazardous Materials Documents or # Tenant initiates any Alterations or changes its business, in either case in a way that involves any material increase in the types or amounts of Hazardous Materials, in which case Tenant shall deliver updated Hazardous Materials documents (without Landlord having to request them) before or, if not practicable to do so before, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the events in [Subsection 21.2(m) or (n)])]. For each type of Hazardous Material listed, the Hazardous Materials Documents shall include # the chemical name, # the material state (e.g., solid, liquid, gas or cryogen), # the concentration, # the storage amount and storage condition (e.g., in cabinets or not in cabinets), # the use amount and use condition (e.g., open use or closed use), # the location (e.g., room number or other identification) and # if known, the chemical abstract service number. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to provide Landlord with any documents containing information of a proprietary nature, unless such documents contain a reference to Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials. Landlord may, at Landlord’s expense, cause the Hazardous Materials Documents to be reviewed by a person or firm qualified to analyze Hazardous Materials to confirm compliance with the provisions of this Lease and with Applicable Laws. In the event that a review of the Hazardous Materials Documents indicates non-compliance with this Lease or Applicable Laws, Tenant shall, at its expense, diligently take steps to bring its storage and use of Hazardous Materials into compliance. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary or Landlord’s review into Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Documents or use or disposal of hazardous materials, however, Landlord shall not have and expressly disclaims any liability related to Tenant’s or other tenants’ use or disposal of Hazardous Materials, it being acknowledged by Tenant that Tenant is best suited to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its Hazardous Materials usage and procedures.

Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not allow, cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be generated, used, treated, released, stored or disposed of in or about the Building or the Land, provided that Tenant may use and store normal and reasonable quantities of standard cleaning and office materials (such as, without limitation, toner, [[Unknown Identifier]] printing supplies) in the Premises so long as such materials are properly, safely and lawfully stored and used by Tenant and the quantity of same does not equal or exceed a “reportable quantity” as defined in 40 C.F.R. 302 and 305, as amended, or any applicable state or local law that requires reporting. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, with respect to conditions relating to Hazardous Materials existing on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any action or inaction of Tenant or any Agent respecting Hazardous Materials (it being understood that the term “inaction” as used in this Section shall not impose upon Tenant any obligation to remove Hazardous Materials existing in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date which were introduced into the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or any Agent, unless and to the extent such condition is knowingly aggravated as a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises), Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials that are in violation of Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the termination or any other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by Landlord) and hold Landlord and Landlord’s Representatives harmless from and against any and all Claims of any kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, which arise out of or are in any way related to the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Agent (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’, consultant, laboratory and expert fees and any diminution in the value of the Building, damages for the loss or restriction on use of any space or amenity of the Building and damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space), whether before, during or after the Lease Term arising from or related to the generation, use, presence, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal, spill, release or discharge of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Agent in or about the Premises or the Building. Notwithstanding the termination or other provision of this Lease Landlord shall indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by Tenant) and hold Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives harmless from and against any and all Claims of any kind or nature which are arise out of or are in any way related to the acts or omissions of Landlord or any Landlord’s Representative (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’, consultant, laboratory and expert fees and damages for the loss or restriction on use of the Premises or any other space or amenity of the Building) arising from or related to the generation, use, presence, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal, spill, release or discharge or Hazardous Materials by Landlord or any Landlord’s Representative. Tenant shall: # give Landlord prompt verbal and follow-up written notice of any Environmental Default, or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to an Environmental Default, of which Tenant has actual knowledge, which Environmental Default (if arising) Tenant shall cure in accordance with all Environmental Laws and only after Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and # promptly deliver to Landlord copies of any material written notices or other items received by Tenant from or submitted by Tenant to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency respecting Hazardous Materials, or any claim instituted or threatened in writing against Tenant by any third party, concerning Hazardous Materials and the Premises, the occupancy or use thereof as it relates to Hazardous Materials, or the existence or potential existence of Hazardous Materials therein. To the extent required by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant covenants to promptly investigate, clean up and otherwise remediate, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any spill, release or discharge of Hazardous Materials at or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Land to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Agents. Such investigation, clean up and remediation shall be performed in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and only after Tenant has obtained Landlord’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon any Environmental Default, in addition to all other rights available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to enter the Premises, to supervise and approve any actions taken by Tenant to address the Environmental Default, and, if Tenant fails to address same with reasonable promptness in accordance with this Lease, to take such actions as may be required by applicable Environmental Law to cure the Environmental Default. If any governmental agency shall require testing to ascertain whether an Environmental Default by Tenant is pending or threatened, then, subject to Tenant’s right to contest such requirement as provided herein, Tenant shall pay the costs therefor as additional rent within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written invoice therefor, accompanied by commercially reasonable back-up documentation for such costs. Promptly upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute from time to time affidavits, representations and similar documents concerning Tenant’s knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials at or in the Premises. Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation, at all reasonable times during the Lease Term, to inspect the Premises and conduct tests and investigations and take samples to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Article, and to request lists of all Hazardous Materials used or stored at the Premises. In conducting any such tests, investigations or sampling, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises. The cost of any such inspections, tests and investigations shall be paid by Landlord at its sole cost and expense, except that the reasonable costs of such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne by Tenant where the same disclose that Tenant is not in compliance with the requirements of this Lease respecting Hazardous Materials in all material respects. Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of any such inspection in advance thereof, other than in cases of emergency where Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant contemporaneous telephonic or e-mail notice. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may, after reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, perform an environmental site assessment or environmental audit of the Premises to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials in the Premises and the potential costs in connection with abatement, cleanup, or removal of any Hazardous Materials placed within or released from the Premises by Tenant or any Agent. Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord and allow Landlord and Landlord’s Representatives reasonable access to any and all parts of the Premises and to the records of Tenant with respect to the Premises and Hazardous Materials for the purpose of performing such environmental site assessment or environmental audit. In conducting any such assessment or audit, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises. The cost of any such assessments or audits shall be paid by Landlord at its sole cost and expense, except Tenant shall pay the cost of any such assessment or audit which indicates that Hazardous Materials have been placed in or have been released from the Premises by Tenant or any Agent in violation of the terms of this Lease.

Prohibition Against Hazardous Material. Tenant shall not cause, or allow any of Tenant Parties to cause, any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) to be handled, used, generated, stored, released or disposed of in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment in violation of any Applicable Laws. Tenant must obtain Landlord’s written consent prior to the introduction of any Hazardous Materials onto the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use and dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials for general office purposes (such as toner for copiers) to the extent customary and necessary for the Permitted Use of the Premises, the Hazardous Materials necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Emergency Generator allowed pursuant to Paragraph 41 and the Hazardous Materials necessary for the operation of a Cafeteria pursuant to Paragraph 43; provided that Tenant shall always handle, store, use, and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building, or Project or surrounding land or environment. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the use, generation, handling, storage, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of Tenant Parties in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment (even though the same may be permissible under all Applicable Laws or the provisions of this Lease), which indemnity shall include, without limitation, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, damage to the environment or natural resources occurring on or off the Premises, losses attributable to diminution in value or adverse effects on marketability, the cost of any investigation, monitoring, government oversight, repair, removal, remediation, restoration, abatement, and disposal, and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Applicable Laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4.1. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
