Environmental Report Lender shall have received an Environmental Report (not more than six months old) with respect to the Property that discloses no material environmental contingencies with respect to the Property.
Environmental Review (a) Buyer shall have the right to conduct or cause a consultant (“Buyer’s Environmental Consultant”) to conduct an environmental review of the Assets and Seller’s records pertaining to the Assets (as set forth in Section 3.01) prior to the expiration of the Examination Period (“Buyer’s Environmental Review”). The cost and expense of Buyer’s Environmental Review, if any, shall be borne solely by Buyer. The scope of work comprising Buyer’s Environmental Review shall not include any intrusive test or procedure without the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer shall (and shall cause Buyer’s Environmental Consultant to): (i) consult with Seller before conducting any work comprising Buyer’s Environmental Review, (ii) perform all such work in a safe and workmanlike manner and so as to not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s operations and (iii) comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Third Party consents and otherwise cooperate with Buyer in conducting Buyer’s Environmental Review and any activities related thereto. Seller shall have the right to have a representative or representatives accompany Buyer and Buyer’s Environmental Consultant at all times during Buyer’s Environmental Review. With respect to any samples taken in connection with Buyer’s Environmental Review, Buyer shall take split samples, providing one of each such sample, properly labeled and identified, to Seller. The Parties shall execute a “common undertaking” letter regarding the confidentiality for the Environmental Review where appropriate. Buyer hereby agrees to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and judgments of any kind or character (INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM SELLER’S SOLE, JOINT, COMPARATIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) to the extent arising out of Buyer’s Environmental Review. Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that it will have at least $2,000,000 of general liability insurance to cover its indemnification hereunder prior to the commencement of the Environmental Review. (b) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Buyer shall (and shall cause Buyer’s Environmental Consultant to) treat confidentially any matters revealed by Buyer’s Environmental Review and any reports or data generated from such review (the “Environmental Information”), and Buyer shall not (and shall cause Buyer’s Environmental Consultant to not) disclose any Environmental Information to any Governmental Authority or other Third Party without the prior written consent of Seller unless otherwise required by law. Unless otherwise required by law, prior to the Closing, Buyer may use the Environmental Information only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Buyer, Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, or any Third Party to whom Buyer has provided any Environmental Information become legally compelled to disclose any of the Environmental Information, Buyer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide Seller with good faith notice prior to any such disclosure so as to allow Seller to attempt to file any protective order, or seek any other remedy, as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver the Environmental Information to Seller, which Environmental Information shall become the sole property of Seller. Buyer shall provide two (2) copies of the Environmental Information to Seller without charge. (c) Buyer acknowledges that the Assets have been used for exploration, development, and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes, or other substances or materials located in, on or under or associated with the Assets. Equipment and sites included in the Assets may contain asbestos, hazardous substances, or naturally occurring radioactive material (“NORM”). NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of wxxxx, materials, and equipment as scale, or in other forms. The wxxxx, materials, and equipment located on the Assets may contain NORM and other wastes or hazardous substances. NORM containing material and/or other wastes or hazardous substances may have come in contact with various environmental media, including without limitation, water, soils or sediment. Special procedures may be required for the assessment, remediation, removal, transportation, or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, hazardous substances and NORM from the Assets.
Environmental Investigation (a) Heritage shall engage an environmental consultant acceptable to Acquiror to conduct a preliminary ("Phase I") environmental assessment of each of the parcels of real estate used in the operation of the businesses of Heritage and any Heritage Subsidiary and any other real estate owned by Heritage or a Heritage Subsidiary (other than single family residences). The fees and expenses of the consultant with respect to the Phase I assessments shall be shared equally by Acquiror and Heritage. The consultant shall complete and deliver the Phase I assessments not later than 60 days after the date of this Agreement. If any environmental conditions are found, suspected, or would tend to be indicated by the report of the consultant which may be contrary to the representations and warranties of Heritage set forth herein without regard to any exceptions that may be contained in Heritage's Schedules, then the parties shall obtain from one or more mutually acceptable consultants or contractors, as appropriate, an estimate of the cost of any further environmental investigation, sampling, analysis, remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. (b) Upon receipt of the estimate of the costs of all follow-up work to the Phase I assessments or any subsequent investigation phases that may be conducted, the parties shall attempt to agree upon a course of action for further investigation and remediation of any environmental condition suspected, found to exist, or that would tend to be indicated by the report of the consultant. All post-Phase I investigations or assessments (the cost of which shall be paid by Heritage), all work plans for any post-Phase I assessments or remediation, and any removal or remediation actions that may be performed, shall be mutually satisfactory to Acquiror and Heritage. If such work plans or removal or remediation actions would cost more than $3,000,000 (individually or in the aggregate on a tax affected basis) to complete, Acquiror and Heritage shall discuss a mutually acceptable modification of this Agreement. Acquiror and Heritage shall cooperate in the review, approval and implementation of all work plans. (c) If the parties are unable to agree upon a course of action for further investigation and remediation of an environmental condition or issue raised by an environmental assessment and/or a mutually acceptable modification to this Agreement, and the condition or issue is not one for which it can be determined to a reasonable degree of certainty that the risk and expense to which the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries would be subject as owner of the property involved can be quantified, in good faith, and limited to an amount less than $3,000,000 (on a tax affected basis), then Acquiror may terminate this Agreement by the earlier to occur of (i) 120 days after the receipt of the Phase I assessments, or (ii) the receipt of all consents and approvals of government regulatory authorities as legally required to consummate the Merger and the expiration of all statutory waiting periods.
Environmental Audits and Reports As soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of all final environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports of any kind or character, whether prepared by personnel of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, Government Authorities or any other Persons, with respect to significant environmental matters at any Facility that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or with respect to any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
