  • Environmental Notice Promptly after the assertion or occurrence thereof, notice of any action or proceeding against or of any noncompliance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  • Material Project Documents (a) The Company shall at all times (i) perform and observe all of the covenants under the Material Project Documents to which it is a party and take reasonable actions to enforce all of its rights thereunder, other than to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 9.8, maintain the System Leases (other than Leases constituting System Leases only pursuant to clause (5) of the definition thereof) in full force and effect, and (iii) maintain the Leases (other than the System Leases referred to in the foregoing clause (ii) of this Section 9.8(a)) to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in full force and effect, except to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (b) If the term of a Lease with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries expires and the Qualified Lessee under such Lease has either ceased operating the related assets or has ceased paying rent as required under the applicable Lease, the Company shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary, as applicable, to enter into a supplement or a new Lease with respect to the related leasehold assets with a Qualified Lessee that provides for rent that, when combined with all other expected revenue, will, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, as of the commencement date of such supplement or new Lease, generate sufficient revenue to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.9 and will not otherwise result in a materially worse position for the Company as compared to the terms of the applicable expired Lease. Each such new Lease shall have a term of at least five years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) such expired Lease relates to transmission and/or distribution assets that are not generating significant revenue, (ii) the failure to renew such Lease would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) the Company reasonably believes it will generate sufficient revenue and hold sufficient assets (without giving effect to the leasehold assets with respect to such Lease) to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.9, then this Section 9.8(b) will not require a supplement or new lease with respect to such leasehold assets.

  • Labor Law Acknowledgment This provision supplements Sections 2(g) and 7 of the Agreement: By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document. You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, except as provided for in Section 2 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not vested on the date of your termination. In particular, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the RSUs will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the RSUs would not be granted to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award of RSUs shall be null and void.

Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring. If Borrower fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit. (c) If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by Borrower, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon request of Lender, to the extent required by applicable law, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall, to the extent required by applicable law, take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property.

All Remedial Work shall be performed by licensed contractors approved in advance by Lender and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. If Borrower does not timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at Borrower’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrower shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in contest, Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than the cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender and Borrower or Lender’s Consultant and any loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest. (d) Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground storage tank.
