18.02. Subject to the terms of Section 9.04 relating to waivers of subrogation (to the extent that such waivers of subrogation shall be applicable in any case), Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless each Landlord Party from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) the occupancy, conduct or management of the Real Property or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created (other than by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors) in or about the Real Property during the Term; (b) any act, omission (where there is an affirmative duty to act) or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their partners, directors, principals, shareholders, officers, agents, employees or contractors; (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, or contractors) occurring in, at or upon the Real Property; and (d) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under this lease (each, a “Tenant Act”); together with all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Provided that Tenant complies with the requirements of this Section with respect to any third-party claim, Tenant shall not be liable for the costs of any separate counsel employed by Landlord or any Landlord Party with respect thereto. If the issuer of any insurance policy maintained by Tenant and meeting the applicable requirements of this lease shall assume the defense of any such third-party claim, then Landlord and such Landlord Party shall permit such insurance carrier to defend the claim with its counsel and (i) neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall settle such claim without the consent of the insurance carrier (unless such settlement would relieve Landlord or such Landlord Party of all liability for which Tenant or its insurance carrier may be liable hereunder and Tenant and its insurance carrier shall have no liability for such settlement), (ii) Tenant shall have the right to settle such claim without the consent of Landlord if Landlord and each Landlord Party and their respective insurance carriers would be relieved of all liability in connection therewith, (iii) Landlord and each applicable Landlord Party shall reasonably cooperate, at Tenant’s expense, with the insurance carrier in its defense of any such claim, and (iv) Tenant shall not be liable for the costs of any separate counsel employed by Landlord or any Landlord Party.

The provisions of the preceding four sentences shall apply with full force and effect to any obligation of Tenant contained in this lease to indemnify Landlord and/or all Landlord Parties, without respect to whether such indemnification obligation is set forth in this Article 18 or elsewhere in this lease.
18.03. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 18.01 to the contrary and subject to the terms of Section 9.04 relating to waivers of subrogation (to the extent that such waivers of subrogation shall be applicable in any case), Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless each Tenant Party from and against (a) any and all third-party claims arising from or in connection with any act, omission (where there is an affirmative duty to act) or negligence of Landlord and its partners, directors, principals, shareholders, officers, agents, employees or contractors, and (b) any breach or default by Landlord in the full and prompt performance of Landlord’s obligations under this lease (each of the foregoing, a “Landlord Act”); together with all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses. In no event shall Landlord be liable for indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or other like damages except to the extent a final judicial determination from which time for appeal has been exhausted grants such damages to Tenant as a result of third party claim from any Landlord Act. If any such third-party claim is asserted against Tenant and/or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof and Landlord shall resist and defend such third-party claim (including any action or proceeding thereon) by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. Provided that Landlord complies with the requirements of this Section with respect to any third-party claim, Landlord shall not be liable for the costs of any separate counsel employed by Tenant or any Tenant Party with respect thereto. If the issuer of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord and meeting the applicable requirements of this lease shall assume the defense of any such third-party claim, then Tenant shall permit such insurance carrier to defend the claim with its counsel and (i) neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party shall settle such claim without the consent of the insurance carrier (unless such settlement would relieve Tenant or such Tenant Party of all liability for which Landlord or its insurance carrier may be liable hereunder and Landlord and its insurance carrier shall have no liability for such settlement), (ii) Landlord shall have the right to settle such claim without the consent of Tenant if Tenant, each Tenant Party and their respective insurance carriers would be relieved of all liability in connection therewith, (iii) Tenant and each applicable Tenant Party shall reasonably cooperate, at Landlord’s expense, with the insurance carrier in its defense of any such claim, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for the costs of any separate counsel employed by Tenant or any Tenant Party. The provisions of this Section 18.03 shall apply with full force and effect to any obligation of Landlord contained in this lease to indemnify Tenant and/or a Tenant Party, without respect to whether such indemnification obligation is set forth in this Article 18 or elsewhere in this lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 18.03 shall not be applicable unless either (i) Landlord’s indemnification obligations under this Section 18.03 are covered under any of Landlord’s or Landlord’s Affiliates existing insurance policies at no addition cost (other than a de minimis charge) or (ii) Tenant, in its sole option, elects by notice to Landlord, to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s cost of obtaining insurance which covers Landlord’s indemnification obligations under this Section 18.03, in which case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs within thirty (30) days following demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation evidencing such costs.
