penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, damages for
the loss of restriction on use of the Premises or of any amenity of the Premises and
sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees, and expert fees)

without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site
conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any
federal, state, or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of
Hazardous Material present in the soil or groundwater on or under the Premises.
Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the
Premises caused or permitted by Lessee results in any contamination of the Premises,
Lessee shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as may be required by any
governmental agency; provided that Lessor's approval of such actions shall first be
obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
24.2 Lessee shall further be liable to Lessor for any damage to the Premises caused

lease or any provision thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred and
to reasonable attorneys’ fees.
26. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not assign this lease, or any
rights under it, and shall not sublet the entire or any part of the Premises, or any right or
privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or permit any other person (the agents and servants of
Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the entire or any portion of the Premises; without first
obtaining Lessor's written consent. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation, or
use by another person is not a consent to a future assignment, subletting, occupation, or use
by another person. Any assignment or a subletting without Lessor's consent shall be void
and shall, at Lessor's option, terminate this lease. No interest of Lessee in this lease shall be
assignable to operation of law without Lessor's written consent.
