<br />§7401 et. seq. or any similar state law or local ordinance or any other environmental law.
<br />(b) Tenant represents and warrants that any use or storage of Hazardous Substances at the
<br />Leased Premises by Tenant or Tenant's Parties (defined below) will be in full compliance with
<br />applicable law, and any disposal of such waste or of pollutants or contaminates shall be in full
<br />compliance with applicable law and at Tenant's expense.
<br />(c) Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and at
<br />Tenant's sole cost), and hold Landlord and Landlord's affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and
<br />agents, and any assignees or successors to Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, their
<br />directors, officers, employees, and agents, free and harmless from and against all losses, liabilities,
<br />obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings,
<br />damages (including consequential damages), disbursements, or expenses of any kind (including
<br />attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses and fees and expenses incurred in investigating,
<br />defending, or prosecuting any litigation, claim, or proceeding) that may at any time be imposed
<br />upon, incurred by, or asserted or awarded against Landlord or any of them in connection with or
<br />arising from or out of:
<br />(1) any Hazardous Substance on, in, under, or affecting all or any portion of the Leased
<br />Premises that was used, generated, stored, released, or disposed on, under or in the Leased
<br />Premises by Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, directors, officers, children,
<br />students, guests, contractors or invitees (each a "Tenant Party" and collectively, "Tenant's
<br />Parties");
<br />(2) any misrepresentation by Tenant, or breach by Tenant of any warranty, covenant, or
<br />agreement contained or referred to in this Article;
<br />(3) any violation or claim of violation by Tenant of any Environmental Law; or
<br />(4) the imposition of any lien for the recovery of any costs for environmental cleanup or
<br />other response costs relating to the release or threatened release of Hazardous Substance by
<br />any Tenant Party.
<br />This indemnification is the personal obligation of Tenant and will survive termination of this Lease.
<br />Except as provided herein, Tenant, its successors, and assigns waive, release, and agree not to make
<br />any claim or bring any cost recovery action against Landlord under CERCLA, as that term is
<br />defined in subparagraph (b), or any state equivalent or any similar law now existing or enacted after
<br />this date. To the extent that Landlord is strictly liable under any such law, regulation, ordinance, or
<br />requirement, Tenant's obligation to Landlord under this indemnity will likewise be without regard
<br />to fault on the part of Tenant with respect to the violation or condition that results in liability to
<br />Landlord. Tenant will immediately notify landlord about Hazardous Substances it learns are placed,
<br />located or spilled on the Leased Premises.
<br />ARTICLE 17. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment.
<br />(a) Subject to Landlord's right of entry pursuant to this Lease Agreement, Landlord covenants
<br />that, as of the date of the execution of this Lease Agreement, Landlord shall take all necessary steps
