Environmental Investigation (a) Acquiror may, in its discretion, within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, require the Company to order, at Acquiror’s expense, a Phase I environmental site assessment to be delivered only to Acquiror for each parcel of real property in which the Company or an Acquired Subsidiary holds an interest or formerly held an interest (each a “Phase I Report”), conducted by an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to Acquiror to determine if any real property in which the Company or any Acquired Subsidiary holds any interest or formerly held an interest contains or gives evidence of any adverse environmental condition or any violations of Environmental Laws on any such property. If a Phase I Report discloses any violations or adverse environmental conditions, or reports a reasonable suspicion thereof, then Acquiror may promptly obtain, at the expense of the Company and Acquiror, shared equally, a Phase II environmental report with respect to any affected property which report shall contain an estimate of the cost of any remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those violations or conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (each a “Phase II Report,” and collectively referred to with the associated Phase I Report, an “Environmental Report”). Acquiror shall have no duty to act upon any information produced by an Environmental Report for the benefit of the Company, any Acquired Subsidiary or any other Person, but shall provide such information to the Company upon the Company’s request.
Tenant’s Indemnity To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, including, without limitation, any corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or the Building, or from the conduct of its business, or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises, the Building or the Site, or from any default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease, or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, visitors, patrons, guests, invitees or licensees; provided Tenant does not indemnify Landlord for any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent the same is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Landlord, or its agents or employees, or for which Tenant is otherwise indemnified hereunder. In cases of alleged negligence asserted by third parties against Landlord which arise out of, are occasioned by, or in any way attributable to Tenant’s, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees use and occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Site, or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease, or from any act of negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall accept any tender of defense for Landlord and shall, notwithstanding any allegation of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Landlord, defend Landlord and protect and hold Landlord harmless and pay all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such litigation, provided that Tenant shall not be liable for any such injury or damage, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs for the attorney representing both parties, all to the extent and in the proportion that such injury or damage is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (or in connection with any negotiated settlement agreed to by Landlord) to be attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, retain a separate attorney selected by Landlord to represent Landlord in any such suit if Landlord determines that the representation of both Tenant and Landlord by the same attorney would cause a conflict of interest provided, however, that to the extent and in the proportion that the injury or damage which is the subject of the suit is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (or in connection with any negotiated settlement agreed to by Landlord) to be attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable legal fees and costs of the separate attorney retained by Tenant. The provisions of this Subsection 10.3(a) shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
