There shall be full compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations pertaining to the working environment.

• Environmental Law Compliance The use which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries intends to make of any real Property owned by it will not result in the disposal or other release of any Hazardous Substance or solid waste on or to such real Property in violation of any Environmental Law, except any such violation which is not, and would not reasonably be expected to cause, a Material Adverse Change. As used herein, the term "release" as used in this Section shall have the meanings specified in CERCLA (as defined in the definition of applicable Environmental Laws), and the terms "solid waste" and "disposal" shall have the meaning specified in RCRA (as defined in the definition of applicable Environmental Laws); provided, however, that if CERCLA or RCRA is amended so as to broaden or narrow the meaning of any term defined thereby, such broader or narrower meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment; and provided further, to the extent that any other law applicable to the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their properties and assets establishes a meaning for "hazardous substance," "release," "solid waste," or "disposal" which is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against, and to reimburse them with respect to, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and courts costs) asserted or awarded against or incurred by any of them by reason of or arising out of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (a) the failure of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform any obligation hereunder regarding asbestos or applicable Environmental Laws, (b) any violation by the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary on or before the Release Date of any applicable Environmental Law in effect on or before the Release Date, and (c) any act, omission, event or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Release Date, involving the presence on such real Property or release from such real Property of Hazardous Substances or solid wastes disposed of or otherwise released on or prior to the Release Date, resulting from or in connection with the ownership by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the real Property, regardless of whether the act, omission, event or circumstance constituted a violation of any applicable Environmental Law at the time of its existence or occurrence, or whether the act, omission, event or circumstance is caused by or relates to the negligence of any indemnified Person; provided, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that any such liability arises as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person, as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Release Date and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.
