Contamination The presence in, on or under land, air or water of a substance (whether a solid, liquid, gas, odour, heat, sound, vibration or radiation) at a concentration above the concentration at which the substance is normally present in, on or under land, air or water in the same locality, that presents a risk of Environmental Harm, including harm to human health or any other aspect of the Environment, or could otherwise give rise to a risk of non-compliance with any Statutory Requirement for the protection of the Environment.
Hazardous Materials; Remediation (a) If any release or disposal of Hazardous Materials shall occur or shall have occurred on any real property or any other assets of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, such Borrower will cause, or direct the applicable Credit Party to cause, the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Materials and the remediation of such real property or other assets as is necessary to comply with all Laws and to preserve the value of such real property or other assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, comply with each Law requiring the performance at any real property by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of activities in response to the release or threatened release of a Hazardous Material.
(b) Borrower will provide Agent within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial assurance evidencing to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent that sufficient funds are available to pay the cost of removing, treating and disposing of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any assessment which may be established on any property as a result thereof, such demand to be made, if at all, upon Agent’s determination that the failure to remove, treat or dispose of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination, or the failure to discharge any such assessment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.
(c) If there is any conflict between this Section 6.10 and any environmental indemnity agreement which is a Financing Document, the environmental indemnity agreement shall govern and control.
Responsibility for Environmental Contamination 5.20.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any costs whatsoever resulting from the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard that either Party did not introduce to the affected Work Location. Both Parties shall defend and hold harmless the other, its officers, directors and employees from and against any losses, damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise out of or result from (i) any Environmental Hazard that the Indemnifying Party, its contractors or agents introduce to the Work Locations or (ii) the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under Applicable Law.
5.20.2 In the event any suspect materials within Qwest-owned, operated or leased facilities are identified to be asbestos containing, CLEC will ensure that to the extent any activities which it undertakes in the facility disturb such suspect materials, such CLEC activities will be in accordance with applicable local, state and federal environmental and health and safety statutes and regulations. Except for abatement activities undertaken by CLEC or equipment placement activities that result in the generation of asbestos-containing material, CLEC does not have any responsibility for managing, nor is it the owner of, nor does it have any liability for, or in connection with, any asbestos-containing material. Qwest agrees to immediately notify CLEC if Qwest undertakes any asbestos control or asbestos abatement activities that potentially could affect CLEC personnel, equipment or operations, including, but not limited to, contamination of equipment.
No Hazardous Materials (A) have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws; or
(B) are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Hazardous Material Contractor shall not permit any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to be located, used, incorporated into the Work or brought onto the Job Site in connection with the Work unless (i) absolutely necessary because no alternative is available, (ii) the precise nature and quantity of the Hazardous Material is specified in writing to Owner, (iii) the prior written approval of Owner is obtained, and (iv) Contractor complies with all Laws and prudent business practices concerning the Hazardous Material required. If Contractor encounters any material it reasonably believes to be Hazardous Material, or becomes aware of any incident involving Hazardous Material at the Job Site, Contractor shall immediately stop the Work in the area so affected and shall immediately report the same to Owner. Contractor shall also immediately notify Owner of any notice Contractor receives concerning the presence or use of Hazardous Material at the Job Site. Contractor shall be liable for all on and off-site disposal or transport of Hazardous Material (and shall sign any manifest for the transport or storage of such Hazardous Material), and for any discharge, release, injury to any person, or injury or damage to any property resulting from use of Hazardous Material in the performance of the Work. Contractor shall, at its expense, cause the removal of the Hazardous Material and remedy any associated problems in accordance with applicable Laws and prudent business practices. "Hazardous Material" shall mean (1) any Hazardous Material as defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or under any applicable state or local Laws, (2) any substance or matter that results in liability to any person or entity from discharge of or exposure to such substance or matter under any statutory or common law theory, (3) pesticides, asbestos, formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyl, solvents, petroleum and motor fuel hydrocarbon material, and (4) any other substance or matter that becomes subject to any federal, state or local agency order or requirement for removal, treatment or remedial action. To the extent permitted by Law, and without in any way limiting any other indemnity obligation under this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify, defend (at Contractor's sole cost and with legal counsel acceptable to Owner) and hold Owner and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, shareholders, partners, affiliates, successors and assigns harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, costs or liabilities arising out of an incurred connection with removing or remediating any Hazardous Materials on or about the Job Site or transported on, to, from or about the Job Site by Contractor. This indemnity shall be effective during and after completion of the Work.
Use of Hazardous Materials Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used, stored, discharged, released or disposed of in the Premises or cause any Hazardous Materials to be used, stored, discharged, released or disposed of in, from, under or about, the Property, or any other land or improvements in the vicinity of the Property, excepting only the types and minor quantities of Hazardous Materials which are normally used in connection with Tenant’s permitted use, operation and maintenance of the Premises and then only in strict accordance with all Legal Requirements, including all Environmental Laws (“Permitted Substances”). Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses, and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises, including, without limitation, discharge of appropriately treated materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Building. Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with and manage any and all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials in total conformity with all Environmental Laws and prudent industry practices regarding management of such Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials result in contamination of the Building, or any soil or groundwater in, under or about the Property in each case to the extent the presence of same amounts to a violation of any Legal Requirement or poses a threat to human health or safety, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all actions necessary to return the Building and/or the Property, to the condition existing prior to the appearance of the Tenant’s Hazardous Material, subject to Landlord’s right to approve Tenant’s proposed remediation method. On or prior to the Termination Date, Tenant shall cause all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Building to be removed in accordance with and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord and obtain Landlord’s written approval before taking any remedial action in response to the presence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials or entering into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any claims relating to Tenant’s Hazardous Materials.
Definition of Hazardous Materials For purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Material” or “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, product, byproduct, or waste, which is or shall become regulated by any governmental entity, including, without limitation, the County acting in its governmental capacity, the State of California or the United States government.
