10.11 Environmental Audit upon Re-Delivery of Premises. In order to assess the environmental condition of the Premises or Property (as it relates to the relative or affected portion of the Premises) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to vacation of the Premises, cause an investigation to be conducted by a licensed, certified environmental inspector agreed to and approved by both parties of a type customarily referred to in the industry as an “Exit Audit” (the “Environmental Audit.”) The Environmental Audit shall be prepared by such environmental inspector chosen by the parties and submitted to Landlord prior to Tenant’s vacation of the Premises. Such Environmental Audit shall include an evaluation of any evidence of environmental contamination arising from Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and information and guidance concerning the preparation of remediation plans or feasibility studies, if required, and the performance of cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work, as may be necessary. Any costs of environmental cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant will obtain Landlord’s written approval prior to undertaking any action required by this section, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the proposed actions will not have an avoidable material and adverse effect upon the Premises or Property.
