<br />Landlord, its agents, and employees harmless from and against any and all

<br />knowledge of any Hazardous Materials on the Landlord’s Property. Landlord
<br />agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessee and its officers,
<br />employees, contractors, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all
<br />claims, costs, losses, expenses, demands, actions, or causes of action, including
<br />reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses of litigation, which may
<br />be asserted against or incurred by Lessee as a result of (i) Landlord’s breach of
<br />the warranty herein, and/or (ii) those damages or bodily injuries, including
<br />death, resulting from the existence, discovery or release of Hazardous Materials
<br />on the Landlord’s Property caused by Landlord, or third parties not related to
<br />Lessee, prior to and during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term of this Lease,
<br />except those, which arise from Lessee’s negligence or willful misconduct, all
<br />subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466.
<br />(d)Lessee's Warranty. Lessee represents and warrants that its use of the Leased
<br />Premises will not generate and Lessee will not store or dispose of on the Leased
<br />Premises, nor transport to or over the Leased Premises, any Hazardous
<br />Materials, in violation of the law, unless Lessee specifically informs Landlord
<br />thereof in writing twenty-four hours prior to such storage, disposal or transport,
<br />or otherwise as soon as Lessee becomes aware of the existence of Hazardous
<br />Materials on the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed
<br />and understood that the Lessee may be permitted to use such Hazardous
<br />Materials that are commonly used in the type of facility contemplated herein,
<br />including without limitation, fuel-powered generators and batteries. The
<br />obligations of this Paragraph 12 shall survive the expiration or other termination
<br />of this Lease.
