Property as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of complying with any
monitoring or remediation requirements of any affected Government Agency. City

installed upon the Property in connection with the foregoing and further agree not to
interfere with any reasonable action required to be taken by Owner under any
monitoring or remediation plan approved by any affected Governmental Agency. Owner

contribution pursuant to CERCLA), and shall not in any way be deemed a waiver of any
28520513.1 0309020050P 95173993

limitation, any right of contribution under CERCLA) or subrogation against Owner

rights of contribution (including, without limitation, any right of contribution pursuant to
CERCLA) or subrogation which it may now or hereafter have against City, and only the
City, hereunder and against any property or collateral. Owner further agrees that, to the
extent that the waiver of its rights of subrogation and contribution as set forth herein is
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any
rights of subrogation or contribution Owner may have shall be junior and subordinate to
the rights of City. However, nothing contained in this Agreement shall waive any rights
of Owner, or responsibility of City, for any Hazardous Substance Activity that takes
place after the date of the Transfer and caused directly or indirectly by City and this
