<br /> employees and agents) from and against any and all claims, costs, losses and damages (including
<br /> but not limited to all fees and charges of architects, attorneys, and other professionals, and all
<br /> court or other dispute resolution costs), liabilities, expenditures, or causes of action of any kind
<br /> (including negligent, reckless, or willful or intentional acts or omissions of LESSEE, any
<br /> Subtenant, any subcontractor, any supplier, any person or organization directly or indirectly
<br /> employed by any of them to perform or furnish any work or anyone for whose acts any of them
<br /> may be liable), arising from, relative to, or caused in connection with this Lease except, and only
<br /> to the extent, that such claim is caused by LESSOR's negligence or misconduct (subject to
<br /> applicable sovereign immunity). This indemnity includes, but is not limited to, claims
<br /> attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury or destruction of tangible
<br /> property, including the. Improvements, and including the loss of use resulting from them.
<br /> Payment of any amount due pursuant to this Section shall, after receipt of Notice by LESSEE
<br /> from LESSOR that such amount is due, be paid by LESSEE if LESSOR becomes legally
<br /> obligated to pay same, or LESSEE agrees that it is responsible for such claim, or in the
<br /> alternative, LESSOR, at LESSOR's option, may make payment of an amount so due and
<br /> LESSEE shall promptly reimburse LESSOR for same. Where the basis for a claim for damages
<br /> brought against LESSOR by a third party is that LESSOR has breached a contract or other duty
<br /> to the third party, and the action or inaction which constitutes the breach was a result of the
<br /> negligent or wrongful act or omission of LESSEE, then LESSEE agrees, at LESSEE'S expense,
<br /> after written notice from LESSOR to defend any action against LESSOR that falls within the
<br /> scope of this Section, or LESSOR, at LESSOR's option, may elect not to tender such defense
<br /> and may elect instead to secure its own attorney to defend any such action. If the claimant
<br /> prevails in a lawsuit on the basis that the breach was a result of the negligent or wrongful act or
<br /> omission of LESSEE, then the reasonable costs and expenses of LESSOR incurred in defending
<br /> such action shall be payable by LESSEE. If either LESSOR or LESSEE is required to incur
<br /> attorney fees and costs to enforce this Section, the prevailing party in any litigation shall recover
<br /> all of its attorney fees and costs at both trial and appellate levels. LESSEE agrees to also
<br /> indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless LESSOR (including its elected officials, officers,
<br /> employees and agents), from all damages, liabilities, losses, claims, fines and fees and from any
<br /> and all suits and actions of every type and description that may be brought against LESSOR, its
<br /> officers, agents and employees on account of any claims, fees, royalties, or costs for any
<br /> infringement of any and all copyrights or patent rights claimed by any person, firm, or
<br /> corporation.
<br /> The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
<br /> Lease.
<br /> SECTION 15. RIGHTS OF ENTRY RESERVED AND RESERVATION OF SPACE.

<br /> contractors shall have the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice to
<br /> enter upon the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the same, for observing the performance by
<br /> LESSEE of its obligations under this Lease and for the doing of any act or thing for which
<br /> LESSOR may be obligated or have the right to do under this Lease or otherwise, subject to the
<br /> provisions of this Lease, provided that, in connection with such access, such party shall use
<br /> reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the operations being conducted upon the Premises.
