25.2 Hazardous Substances.
25.2.1 Prohibition Against Hazardous Substances.
25.2.1.1 Tenant shall not cause or permit any “Hazardous Substances” (as defined below) to be brought upon, used, handled, produced, treated, stored, transported, released, discharged or disposed of in, on or about the Property without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may give or withhold in its sole discretion. Any use, handling, production, treatment, storage, transportation, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Substances in, on or about the Property by any Tenant Party shall strictly comply with all applicable Restrictions. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and complying with all permits, authorizations and approvals necessary for the maintenance and operation of its business, including all permits, authorizations and approvals governing the use, handling, production, treatment, storage, transportation, release, discharge and disposal of Hazardous Substances. In addition to any other indemnification obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, forfeitures, losses, costs or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and expenses and the costs and expenses of enforcing any indemnification, defense or hold harmless obligation hereunder [which for the purposes hereof include “Remedial Work” (as defined below), and sums paid in settlement thereof] that result from or arise out of the use, handling, production, treatment, storage, transportation, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Substances on or about (i) the Premises during the Lease Term by any Tenant Party and (ii) any portion of the Property outside of the Premises by any Tenant Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to use small amounts of Hazardous Substances in the Premises as reasonably necessary in connection with the Permitted Use, provided that such use is in accordance with all Applicable Laws.
25.2.1.2 Landlord shall have the right, at any time, but not more than one (1) time during any twelve (12)-month period (unless (i) Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant has failed to fully comply with the provisions of this Section 25.2, or (ii) required by any governmental agency [such circumstances under (i) or (ii) above shall constitute “Reasonable Cause”]), to inspect the Premises and conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 25.2. If an inspection is requested by Landlord based on Reasonable Cause, and it is determined that Tenant has failed to meet its obligations under the provisions of this Section 25.2, then the reasonable costs of all such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne solely by Tenant. If the inspection is not requested by Landlord based on Reasonable Cause or if such inspection reveals that Tenant has met its obligations under the provisions of this Section 25.2, Landlord shall pay all costs of same. The foregoing rights granted to Landlord shall not, however, create (1) a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant or any other Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Substances including Tenant’s operation, use or remediation thereof, or (2) liability on the part of any Landlord Party for the use, handling, production, treatment, storage, transportation, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Substances by any Tenant Party, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.
25.2.2 Landlord Notification. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete copies of all documents, correspondence and other written materials directed to or from, or relating to, Tenant concerning environmental issues in, on or about the Premises or any other portion of the Property
