Common use of No Authority to Admit Wrongdoing by NAI or to Bind NAI to any Settlement Clause in Contracts

No Authority to Admit Wrongdoing by NAI or to Bind NAI to any Settlement. No Interested Party will under any circumstances have any authority to bind NAI to an admission of wrongdoing or responsibility to any third party claimant with regard to matters for which such Interested Party claims a right to indemnification from NAI under this Lease. Further, nothing herein contained, including the foregoing provisions concerning settlements by Interested Parties of indemnified Losses, will be construed as authorizing any Interested Party to bind NAI to do or refrain from doing anything to satisfy a third party claimant. If, for example, a claim is made by a Governmental Authority that NAI must refrain from some particular conduct on or about the Land in order to comply with Applicable Laws, BNPPLC cannot bind NAI (and will not purport to bind NAI) to any agreement to refrain from such conduct or otherwise prevent NAI from continuing to contest the claim by reason of any provision set forth herein. Moreover, so long as this Lease continues, no Interested Party may settle any claim involving the Property by executing any agreement (including any consent decree proposed by any Governmental Authority) which purports to prohibit, limit or impose conditions upon any use of the Property by NAI without the prior written consent of NAI. In the case of any proposed settlement of a claim asserted by a Governmental Authority against BNPPLC, NAI will not unreasonably withhold such consent. However, for purposes of determining whether it is reasonable for NAI to withhold such consent, any diligent ongoing undertaking by NAI to contest such the claim on behalf of BNPPLC will be relevant. Subject to the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph 5(D)(5), any Interested Party may agree for itself (and only for itself) to act or refrain from doing anything as demanded or requested by a third party claimant; provided, however, in no event will such an agreement impede NAI from continuing to exercise its rights to operate its business on the Property or elsewhere in any lawful manner deemed appropriate by NAI, nor will any such agreement limit or impede NAI’s right to contest claims raised by any third party claimants (including Governmental Authorities) that NAI is not complying or has not complied with Applicable Laws.
