Except as provided in this Section 9.2, in the event of any release of Hazardous Materials on, from, under or about the Premises or the Project as the result of Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to clean up, remove, remediate and repair any soil or groundwater contamination or other damage or contamination in conformance with the requirements of applicable law. Subject to the waivers set forth in [Section 15.5], Tenant shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend (by counsel acceptable to Landlord) Landlord, its affiliates, its Agents and each of their respective Agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (“Claims”) to the extent caused by or arising out of # a violation of the foregoing prohibitions or # the presence or release of any Hazardous Materials on, from, under or about the Premises, the Project or other properties as the result of Tenant's occupancy or use of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant's obligation to indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord, its affiliates, its Agents and each of their respective Agents, successors and assigns, shall not extend to any Claims arising as a result of, and Tenant shall not have any liability to Landlord under this Section 9.2 resulting from, any Hazardous Materials # existing or generated, on, from, under or about the Project, including, without limitation, the Premises, prior to the Date of Lease (“Pre-Existing Contamination”) unless caused or exacerbated by Tenant’s or Tenant’s Agents’ release of Hazardous Materials, exacerbation of Pre-Existing Contamination, violation of any applicable laws, statutes, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 9.2 (collectively, and separately referred to as “Tenant Responsible Contamination”), subject to the waivers in [Section 15.5], # that migrate onto the Premises, Building or Project by no fault of Tenant, or # generated or brought on the Premises, Building or Project by Landlord or its Agents.

Neither the written consent of Landlord to the presence of the Hazardous Materials, nor Tenant's compliance with all laws applicable to such Hazardous Materials, shall relieve Tenant of its indemnification obligation under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right from time to time, but not the obligation, to # request from Tenant information showing Tenant’s compliance with its obligations under Section 9.2; and # to enter upon the Premises in accordance with Article XIV to conduct such inspections and undertake such sampling and testing activities as Landlord deems necessary or desirable to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations under Section 9.2, except that in no event may Landlord sample or test tenant raw materials, lab materials, products or processes, except with the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent may be withheld if commercially reasonable alternative means exist to assure Tenant compliance.
