Further, the Lessee has no obligation under this Lease to undertake environmental response, remediation, or cleanup relating to such use or release. 11.7.1. For the purposes of this Condition, "defense" or "environmental response, remediation, or cleanup" includes liability and responsibility for the costs of any damages, penalties, legal, and investigative services relating to such use or release. "Occupation" or "use" shall mean any activity or presence (including preparation and construction) in or upon such portion of, or such building, facility, or other improvement on, the Leased Premises. 11.7.2. This Condition does not relieve the Lessee of any obligation or liability they might have or acquire with regard to third parties or regulatory authorities by operation of law. 11.7.3. This Condition 11.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. 11.8. No Liabilitv for Interference. The Lessee expressly acknowledges that it fully understands that some or all of the response actions to be undertaken with respect to the FFA, if appiicable, or the IRP, may impact the Lessee's quiet use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises.

Resqonse or Remedial Actions. The Lessee agrees to comply with the provisions of any health or safety plan in effect under the IRP or any hazardous substance remediation or response agreement with environmental regulatory authorities during the course of any of the above described response or remedial actions.

The Lessee and any approved sublessees or assignees, and any licensees, or invitees of it or them, shall have no claim on account of entries against The United States or any officer, agent, employee, contractor, or su6contractor. In addition, the Lessee shall comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local occupational safety and health regulations. 11.10. Stora�e of Hazardous Wastes. The Lessee must comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and other requirements relating to occupational safety and health, the handling and storage of hazardous materials, and the proper generation, handling, accumulation, treatment, storage, disposal, and transportation of hazardous wastes.

The Lessee shall not treat, store, transport, or dispose of any hazardous waste under, pursuant to, or in reliance upon any permit issued to the Government. The Lessee shall be liable for the cost of proper disposal of any hazardous waste generated by its approved sublessees in the event of failure of the sublessees to dispose properly of those wastes. 11.11. Environmental Records The Lessee must maintain and make available to the Government all records, inspection logs, and manifests that track the generation, handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste, as well as all other records required by applicable laws and requirements.

Violations will be reported by the Government to appropriate regulatory agencies, as required by applicable law. The Lessee shall be liable for the payment of any fines and penalties which may accrue as a result of the actions of Lessee. 11.12. Spill Plans. The Lessee shall have a completed and approved plan prior to commencement of operations on the Leased Premises for responding to hazardous waste, fuel, and other chemical spills. The plan shall comply with all applicable requirements and shall be updated from time to time as may be required to comply with changes in site conditions or applicable requirements, and where required, shall be approved by all agencies having regulatory jurisdiction over such plan. The plan shall be independent of Air Force spill prevention and response plans. The Lessee shall not rely on use of the Base's personnel or equipment in execution of its plan. The Lessee shall file a copy of the approved plan and approved amendments thereto with the Commander within fifteen (15) days of approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Government provide any personnel or equipment, whether for initial �re response or spill containment or otherwise on request of the Lessee, or because the Lessee was not, in the opinion of the Government, conducting timely cleanup actions, the Lessee agrees to reimburse the Government for its costs in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. 11.13. RCRA Compliance. The Lessee shall comply with the hazardous waste permit requirements under the RCRA or its State equivalent and any other applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Lessee must provide at its own expense hazardous waste storage facilities which comply with all laws and regulations as it may need for such storage.
