Sublessor and Sublessee each acknowledge that they have been advised that numerous federal, state, and/or local laws, ordinances and regulations (Laws) affect the existence and removal, storage, disposal, leakage of and contamination by materials designated as hazardous or toxic (Toxics).  Many materials, some utilized in everyday business activities and property maintenance, are designated as hazardous or toxic.

 

Some of the Laws require that Toxics be removed or cleaned up by landowners, future landowners or former landowners without regard to whether the party required to pay for “clean up” caused the contamination, owned the property at the time the contamination occurred or even knew about the contamination.  Some items, such as asbestos or PCBs, which

were legal when installed, now are classified as Toxics and are subject to removal requirements.  Civil lawsuits for damages resulting from Toxics may be filed by third parties in certain circumstances.

 

Sublessor and Sublessee each acknowledge that Broker has no specific expertise with respect to environmental assessment or physical condition of the Subleased Premises, including, but not limited to, matters relating to:  (i) problems which may be posed by the presence or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances on or from the Subleased Premises, (ii) problems which may be posed by the Subleased Premises being within the Special Studies Zone as designated under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Special Studies Zone Act (Earthquake Zones), Section 2621-2630, inclusive of California Public Resources Code, and (iii) problems which may be posed by the Subleased Premises being within a HUD Flood Zone as set forth in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development “Special Flood Zone Area Maps,” as applicable.

 

Sublessor and Sublessee each acknowledge that Broker has not made an independent investigation or determination of the physical or environmental condition of the Subleased Premises, including, but not limited to, the existence or nonexistence of any underground tanks, sumps, piping, toxic or hazardous substances on the Subleased Premises.  Sublessee agrees that it will rely solely upon its own investigation and/or the investigation of professionals retained by it or Sublessor, and neither Sublessor nor Sublessee shall rely upon Broker to determine the physical and environmental condition of the Subleased Premises or to determine whether, to what extent or in what manner, such condition must be disclosed to potential sublessees, assignees, purchasers or other interested parties.
