Responsibility for Environmental Contamination 5.20.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any costs whatsoever resulting from the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard that either Party did not introduce to the affected Work Location. Both Parties shall defend and hold harmless the other, its officers, directors and employees from and against any losses, damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise out of or result from (i) any Environmental Hazard that the Indemnifying Party, its contractors or agents introduce to the Work Locations or (ii) the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under Applicable Law. 5.20.2 In the event any suspect materials within Qwest-owned, operated or leased facilities are identified to be asbestos containing, CLEC will ensure that to the extent any activities which it undertakes in the facility disturb such suspect materials, such CLEC activities will be in accordance with applicable local, state and federal environmental and health and safety statutes and regulations. Except for abatement activities undertaken by CLEC or equipment placement activities that result in the generation of asbestos-containing material, CLEC does not have any responsibility for managing, nor is it the owner of, nor does it have any liability for, or in connection with, any asbestos-containing material. Qwest agrees to immediately notify CLEC if Qwest undertakes any asbestos control or asbestos abatement activities that potentially could affect CLEC personnel, equipment or operations, including, but not limited to, contamination of equipment.
No Hazardous Materials (A) have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws; or (B) are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Use of Hazardous Materials Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used, stored, discharged, released or disposed of in the Premises or cause any Hazardous Materials to be used, stored, discharged, released or disposed of in, on, from, under or about, the Property, or any other land or improvements in the vicinity of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use and store in the Premises such types and quantities of Hazardous Materials as are normally used in connection with Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises and then only in strict accordance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws. 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”). Throughout the Term on an annual basis and upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall continue to update Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Plan so that it remains current. 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. Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with and manage any and all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials in total conformity with all Environmental Laws and prudent industry practices regarding management of such Hazardous Materials.
Definition of Hazardous Materials For purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Material” or “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, product, byproduct, or waste, which is or shall become regulated by any governmental entity, including, without limitation, the County acting in its governmental capacity, the State of California or the United States government.
Tenant’s Responsibility (a) Except to the extent contributed to by a Landlord Party and except for those matters listed in Section 9.5(a) for which the Landlord shall be responsible, the Tenant shall be solely responsible and liable for any work required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to any Contaminants on, in or under the Premises during the Term of the Lease. Except (i) as caused by or contributed to by a Landlord Party, and (ii) for those matters listed in Section 9.5(a), the Tenant shall indemnify, defend (utilizing counsel satisfactory to the Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord and the Landlord’s respective officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, agents and employees from all Claims arising out of or in any way connected with any Release of any Contaminants that occurs during the Term of this Lease, at, in, on, from, under, or about the Premises or the Building, or which arises at any time from the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or from the Tenant’s failure to provide all information, make all submissions, and take steps required by all authorities under Environmental Law. (b) Upon the occurrence of any material Release of a Contaminant at the Premises and upon the Tenant becoming aware of such Release, the Tenant shall immediately give written notice to the Landlord. In any event, the Tenant shall immediately take all steps required by Environmental Law to remedy or otherwise address the situation giving rise to any Release. (c) If any work is required in accordance with this section 9.2 the Tenant shall prepare all necessary studies, plans and proposals and submit them to the Landlord for approval, which approved shall not be unreasonably withheld, provide all bonds and other security required by any lawful governmental authorities and carry out the work required. In carrying out such work, the Tenant shall keep the Landlord fully informed of the progress of the work. If the Landlord has reasonable grounds for believing that the Tenant will not promptly or properly carry out such work, the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to carry out all such work, or any part of it, and if the Landlord does so, the Tenant shall pay for all costs in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after the Landlord has incurred the costs and made written demand to the Tenant. (d) The Tenant covenants, acknowledges and agrees that its obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
