Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, comply with each Environmental Law requiring the performance at any real property by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of activities in response to the release or threatened release of a Hazardous Material.

Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;
Environmental Site Assessment Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to undertake an environmental site assessment on the Property, including any testing that Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or desirable to ascertain the environmental condition of the Property and the compliance of the Property with Requirements of Environmental Laws. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender and its consultants performing such assessments and tests. If Lender undertakes such assessments because Lender reasonably believes contamination has occurred, or if the assessment reveals contamination not previously known to Lender, the expense of such assessment shall be paid by the Borrower. Otherwise, any such assessment shall be at Lender's expense.
Contamination Lessee shall not cause, suffer or permit any Contamination;

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.
