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.
