Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord a complete list of all Hazardous Materials (other than standard janitorial and office products) used or stored, and expected to be used or stored, by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents at the Premises during the term of the Prior Lease or during the Term of this Lease, which list shall include MSDS sheets for all such Hazardous Materials and shall identify the equipment and systems within the Premises affected by such Hazardous Materials in Tenant’s business operations (“Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Plan”).

Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses, and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises, including, without limitation, discharge of appropriately treated materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Premises.

Should it be determined that said Permitted Materials are being improperly stored, used, or disposed of, Tenant shall immediately take such corrective action as requested by Landlord. Should Tenant fail to take such corrective action within 24 hours, Landlord shall have the right to perform such work and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any and all costs associated with said work. If at any time during or after the term of the Lease Term, the Premises are found to be so contaminated or subject to said conditions, Tenant shall diligently institute proper and thorough cleanup procedures at Tenant’s sole cost, and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its lenders, any managing agents and leasing agents of the Premises, and their respective agents, partners, officers, directors and employees, from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages (actual or punitive) and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result of the use of the Premises by Tenant. The foregoing indemnification and the responsibilities of Tenant shall survive the termination or expiring of this Lease. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of all summons, citations, directives, information inquiries or requests, notices of potential responsibility, notices of violation or deficiency, orders and decrees, claims, complaints, investigations, judgments, letters, notice of environmental liens, and other communications, written or oral, actual or threatened, from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the environmental protection agency of the State where the property is located or other federal, state or local agency or authority, or any other entity or individual, concerning (i) any Hazardous Substance and the Premises; (ii) the imposition of any lien on the Premises; or (iii) any alleged violation of or responsibility under any Environmental Law.
