Environmental Conditions A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated, abated or contained in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent, was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action or investigation is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Xxxxx’x, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for the Environmental Condition 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 Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.
Environmental Defects For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Environmental Defect” means, with respect to any given Asset, an individual environmental condition identified with specificity in Buyer’s Environmental Review that constitutes a material violation of Environmental Laws in effect as of the date of this Agreement in the jurisdiction in which the affected Asset is located, excluding, however any environmental conditions deemed not to be Environmental Defects by application of Section 5.04(c).
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.
Environmental Remediation Failure to remediate (or pursue the remediation process with due diligence and good faith) within the time period required by law or governmental order, (or within a reasonable time in light of the nature of the problem if no specific time period is so established), environmental problems in violation of Applicable Law related to Properties of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries where the estimated cost of remediation is in the aggregate in excess of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), in each case after all administrative hearings and appeals have been concluded.
Notice of Environmental Defects Promptly upon discovery, but in any event prior to the Environmental Defect Notice Deadline, Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notices (each, a “Notice of Environmental Defect”) setting forth each Environmental Defect (other than those environmental matters described in Section 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Disclosed Environmental Defects”)) affecting the Assets that Buyer’s Environmental Assessment identifies and that Buyer believes to be a Non-De Minimus Environmental Defect, together with a description in reasonable detail of the Environmental Defect (and, to the extent reasonably necessary to support such description, reports, assessments and other documentation in Buyer’s possession relating to such Environmental Defect) and Buyer’s good faith estimate of the cost to Remediate such Environmental Defect (the “Environmental Defect Value”). Without limitation of Buyer’s remedies for any breach by Seller of its representations and warranties in Article VI pertaining to environmental matters, Buyer shall be deemed to have conclusively waived (a) any Environmental Defect about which it fails to notify Seller in writing pursuant to a Notice of Environmental Defect prior to the Environmental Defect Notice Deadline and (b) the Disclosed Environmental Defects. Buyer shall have the right to exclude an Asset from this Agreement if Buyer’s good faith estimate of the Environmental Defect Value, as set forth in the Notice of Environmental Defect relating to such Environmental Defect exceeds 50% of the Allocated Value of the Asset affected thereby, in which event the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Asset and such Asset shall thereafter be treated as an Excluded Asset; provided, that Buyer’s right to exclude any such Asset shall not apply to an Asset with an Allocated Value of less than $100,000 unless Buyer’s good faith estimate of the Environmental Defect Value relating to the Environmental Defect affecting such Asset exceeds $200,000.
Environmental Compliance The Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Environmental Audits From time to time, as requested by Lender, at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower shall provide Lender, or its designee, complete access to all of Borrower's facilities for the purpose of conducting an environmental audit of such facilities as Lender or its designees may deem necessary. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender with respect to any environmental audit conducted by Lender or its designee pursuant to this Section 5.10.
O.S.H.A. and Environmental Compliance (a) Each Borrower has duly complied with, and its facilities, business, assets, property, leaseholds, Real Property and Equipment are in compliance in all material respects with, the provisions of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, RCRA and all other Environmental Laws; there have been no outstanding citations, notices or orders of non-compliance issued to any Borrower or relating to its business, assets, property, leaseholds or Equipment under any such laws, rules or regulations.
