HONEYWELL shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Site immediately upon determination that Hazardous Substances or Mold are present at the Site under Adverse Circumstances that CUSTOMER cannot or will not remove or otherwise remediate within sixty (60) days after discovery.  The right to suspend or terminate performance under this Section 5.4 is solely for the benefit of HONEYWELL.  Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall be construed to require HONEYWELL to discover or report Hazardous Substances, Mold or Adverse Circumstances.  Failure of HONEYWELL to discover, report, or suspend or terminate upon discovery of Hazardous Substances, Mold or Adverse Circumstances, shall not relieve CUSTOMER of its indemnification obligations under Section 5.10 of this Agreement.

 

5.5 Except as discussed below, CUSTOMER represents and warrants that at the sites where HONEYWELL will undertake work or provide Services, there are no Hazardous Substances, except those generated, labeled, stored, used, and disposed in strict accordance with applicable law;

5.7 In areas in which HONEYWELL will be performing its Services, there are no conditions or circumstances subject to special precautions or equipment required by federal, state or local health or safety regulations or unsafe working conditions.

 

Exceptions to Representations and Warranties in 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7:

 

CUSTOMER shall notify HONEYWELL of any changes in conditions or regulations that occur during the course of this Agreement that affect the foregoing representations and warranties, including without limitation discovery of Hazardous Substances or Mold at a Site.

 

 

5.8 CUSTOMER acknowledges that CUSTOMER has not retained HONEYWELL to discover, inspect, investigate, identify, prevent or remediate Hazardous Substances or Mold, conditions caused by Hazardous Substances or Mold, or conditions that might cause or promote accumulation, concentration, growth or dispersion of Hazardous Substances or Mold. CUSTOMER agrees that HONEYWELL shall not be responsible for any such discovery, inspection, investigation, identification, prevention or remediation, or for any damages arising from or related to the existence of Hazardous Substances or Mold at a Site.

 

5.9 CUSTOMER acknowledges that the operation of the Covered Equipment may control or affect temperature, humidity, and ventilation at the Site, which may adversely affect accumulation, concentration, growth or dispersion of Hazardous Substances or Mold, whether or not there are defects in the Covered Equipment or the Services. CUSTOMER agrees that HONEYWELL is responsible for maintaining the Covered Equipment in a good working order in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations, but HONEYWELL is not responsible for determining whether the Covered Equipment or the temperature, humidity and ventilation settings used by CUSTOMER, are appropriate for CUSTOMER and the Site except as specifically provided in an attached Work Scope Document. HONEYWELL shall not be responsible for any adverse affects of temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions created by the Covered Equipment.

 

5.10 To the fullest extent allowed by law, CUSTOMER shall indemnify and hold HONEYWELL harmless from and against any and all claims and costs of whatever nature, including but not limited to, consultants’ and attorneys’ fees, damages for bodily injury and property damage, fines, penalties, cleanup costs and costs associated with delay or work stoppage, that in any way results from or arises under the breach of the representations and warranties in this section 5, the existence of mold or a hazardous substance at a site, or the occurrence or existence of the situations or conditions described in this section 5, whether or not CUSTOMER provides HONEYWELL advance notice of the existence or occurrence and regardless of when the hazardous substance or occurrence is discovered or occurs.  This indemnification shall survive termination of this agreement for whatever reason.  Nothing in this section 5.10 shall be construed to require that CUSTOMER indemnify and hold harmless HONEYWELL from claims and costs resulting from the negligent use by HONEYWELL of any hazardous substance brought to the site by HONEYWELL (and CUSTOMER acknowledges that HONEYWELL may bring to the site lubricants or other materials that are routinely used in performing maintenance and that may be classified as hazardous).

 

5.11 CUSTOMER shall be responsible for the containment of any and all refrigerant stored on or about the premises.  CUSTOMER accepts all responsibility for and agrees to indemnify HONEYWELL against any and all claims, damages, or causes of action that arise out of the storage, consumption, loss and/or disposal of refrigerant, except to the extent HONEYWELL has brought refrigerant onsite and is directly and solely negligent for its mishandling.
