Best Company; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.
Environmental Condition Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12 to the Information Certificate, (a) to each Loan Party’s knowledge, no properties or assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries have ever been used by a Loan Party, its Subsidiaries, or by previous owners or operators in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any Hazardous Materials, where such disposal, production, storage, handling, treatment, release or transport was in violation, in any material respect, of any applicable Environmental Law, (b) to each Loan Party’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Loan Party’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets have ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a Hazardous Materials disposal site, (c) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice that a Lien arising under any Environmental Law has attached to any revenues or to any Real Property owned or operated by a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, and (d) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective facilities or operations is subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree, or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law or Environmental Liability that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

The grievant must file Grievance Report Form, Appendix "A".
9. Nothing in this grievance procedure shall be construed as prohibiting a grievant from seeking a judgment or ruling in a court of law.
10. The number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement.
11.

(i) that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such party notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under the Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and

SPECIAL CONDITIONS A submitted appeal must;
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS 38.7.8.1 In the worse case scenario, many environmental concerns must be addressed. Along with the police and fire marshal, the state environmental protection department will be on site to monitor the situation.
38.7.8.2 Items to be concerned with in a large central office building could include:
38.7.8.2.1 Emergency engine fuel supply. Damage to the standby equipment and the fuel handling equipment could have created “spill” conditions that have to be handled within state and federal regulations.
38.7.8.2.2 Asbestos-containing materials that may be spread throughout the wreckage. Asbestos could be in many components of building, electrical, mechanical, outside plant distribution, and telephone systems.
Investigation of Financial Condition Without in any manner reducing or otherwise mitigating the representations contained herein, Company shall have the opportunity to meet with Buyer's accountants and attorneys to discuss the financial condition of Buyer. Buyer shall make available to Company all books and records of Buyer.
Environmental Considerations A. Company, its officers, agents, servants, employees, invitees, independent contractors, successors, and assigns will not discharge or spill any Hazardous Substance, as defined herein, into any component of the storm drainage system or onto any paved or unpaved area within the boundaries of the Premises. In addition, Company will not discharge or spill any Hazardous Substance into any component of the sanitary sewer system without first neutralizing or treating same as required by applicable anti-pollution laws or ordinances, in a manner satisfactory to Authority and other public bodies, federal, state, or local, having jurisdiction over or responsibility for the prevention of pollution of canals, streams, rivers, and other bodies of water. Company’s discharge, spill or introduction of any Hazardous Substance onto the Premises or into any component of Authority’s sanitary or storm drainage systems will, if not remedied by Company with all due dispatch, at the sole discretion of Authority, be deemed a default and cause for termination of this Agreement by Authority, subject to notice and cure. Such termination will not relieve Company of or from liability for such discharge or spill.
B. If Company is deemed to be a generator of hazardous waste, as defined by federal, state, or local law, Company will obtain a generator identification number from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the appropriate generator permit and will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including but not limited to, ensuring that the transportation, storage, handling, and disposal of such hazardous wastes are conducted in full compliance with applicable law.
C. Company agrees to provide Authority, within 10 days after Authority’s request, copies of all hazardous waste permit application documentation, permits, monitoring reports, transportation, responses, storage and disposal plans, material safety data sheets and waste disposal manifests prepared or issued in connection with Company’s use of the Premises.
D. At the end of the Agreement, Company will dispose of all solid and hazardous wastes and containers in compliance with all applicable regulations. Copies of all waste manifests will be provided to Authority at least 30 days prior to the end of the Agreement.
