Investigations and Remediations Lessor shall retain the responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures required by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the existence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Start Date, unless such remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee's use (including "Alterations", as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises, in which event Lessee shall be responsible for such payment. Lessee shall cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor, including allowing Lessor and Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor's investigative and remedial responsibilities.
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.
Hazardous Materials; Remediation (a) If any release or disposal of Hazardous Materials shall occur or shall have occurred on any real property or any other assets of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, such Borrower will cause, or direct the applicable Credit Party to cause, the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Materials and the remediation of such real property or other assets as is necessary to comply with all Laws and to preserve the value of such real property or other assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, comply with each 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.
(b) Borrower will provide Agent within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial assurance evidencing to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent that sufficient funds are available to pay the cost of removing, treating and disposing of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any assessment which may be established on any property as a result thereof, such demand to be made, if at all, upon Agent’s determination that the failure to remove, treat or dispose of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination, or the failure to discharge any such assessment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.
(c) If there is any conflict between this Section 6.10 and any environmental indemnity agreement which is a Financing Document, the environmental indemnity agreement shall govern and control.
Lessee Remediation Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of this Lease, by or for Lessee, or any third party.
Remediation The Charter School shall provide remediation in required cases pursuant to State Board of Education Rule 160-4-5-.01 and No Child Left Behind.
Incident Notice and Remediation If Contractor becomes aware of any Incident, it shall notify the State immediately and cooperate with the State regarding recovery, remediation, and the necessity to involve law enforcement, as determined by the State. Unless Contractor can establish that none of Contractor or any of its agents, employees, assigns or Subcontractors are the cause or source of the Incident, Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of notifying each person who may have been impacted by the Incident. After an Incident, Contractor shall take steps to reduce the risk of incurring a similar type of Incident in the future as directed by the State, which may include, but is not limited to, developing and implementing a remediation plan that is approved by the State at no additional cost to the State.
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.
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 E1527-13 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 Mortgagee; (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 or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue 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 is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. 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.
Costs and Prorations (a) At Closing, the Parties shall prorate, without duplication, as of the Closing Date, the following with respect to the Assets:
(i) Solely to the extent (a) payable by the Company and (b) not covered by Section 1.4(a)(iii) or Section 1.4(a)(iv) below, all ad valorem/personal property taxes and current installments of special assessments levied or assessed with respect to the Assets on a daily basis based upon the fiscal year of the appropriate Taxing Authority on an accrual basis.
(ii) All prepaid items and deposits applicable to the operation of the Assets covering periods prior to and after the Closing Date, including all utilities (including gas, water and electricity). The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the Closing, all such amounts for which a xxxx has been received for which payments are due prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, with an amount equal to all utility charges for the period from the last day covered by any such xxxx until the Closing Date if such utilities will continue to be received.
(iii) Amounts payable under Leases and Permits and other Assets shall be prorated on an accrual basis. The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all amounts due thereunder prior to the Closing Date. For such amounts due on or after the Closing Date and reflected on the Closing Statement or the Final Closing Statement, Purchaser shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, for Seller’s prorated share of such amount. For such amounts due on or after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to pay its prorated share when due or to promptly reimburse Purchaser if paid by Purchaser; provided, however, to the extent funds are available, such amounts shall first be paid from the Escrow Fund. Percentage rents based on advertising revenues for periods including days both before and after the Closing Date, and Seller’s prorated share thereof, shall be estimated in good faith by extrapolating the advertising revenue for the period upon which the percentage rents are based by applying the average monthly revenue for the months (or portions thereof) preceding the Closing, to the months (or portions thereof) following Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) paid-up/pre-paid rental on Sign Locations Leases pre-paid not more than twelve (12) months beyond the Closing Date shall be prorated, but (y) paid-up/pre-paid rental on Sign Locations Leases prepaid more than twelve (12) months beyond the Closing Date and perpetual easements shall not be prorated.
(iv) The Purchase Price shall be decreased by: (a) the pro rata portion of the amount of any remaining balance at the Closing Date of credits for advertisements received prior to the Closing Date or other credits due advertisers from Seller or the Company as of the Closing Date; and (b) pre-billed and/or pre-collected accounts receivable items actually collected and for which outdoor advertising services are to be rendered after the Closing Date.
(v) The Purchase Price shall be increased by any amounts posted as security deposit by CCOI or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Assumed Contract (which deposits are not being refunded to CCOI or its Affiliates but rather being retained by the counterparties for the Company’s account).
(b) Seller has prepared, in good faith, a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) consistent with the foregoing and otherwise consistent with this Agreement and has delivered it, along with reasonably detailed information showing the manner in which the contents of the Closing Statement were calculated, to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. In preparing the Closing Statement, Seller used the best available information, subject to additional adjustment among the Parties after Closing upon receipt of definitive information or final bills; provided, however, that no such adjustments will be made after the Closing Statement becomes final pursuant to Section 1.4(c).
(c) As soon as practicable after the Closing (but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing), Seller shall deliver a final Closing Statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) to Purchaser, which Final Closing Statement shall set forth (among the other information described above) the amount of actual Closing Date Indebtedness. Each Party shall provide to the other Party, reasonable access at reasonable times to the books and records of such Party and to appropriate employees and representatives (including independent accountants) as such other Party shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of the Final Closing Statement, or any component thereof or information contained or referred to therein, as the case may be, including all work papers of the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such statements or notices (subject to each Party and its representatives entering into any such access letters required by the other Party’s accountants in connection herewith), and shall otherwise cooperate reasonably and in good faith with such other Party to arrive at a final determination of the amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement. Unless Purchaser notifies Seller in writing within 15 days after Seller’s delivery of the Final Closing Statement of any objection to the matters set forth in the Final Closing Statement (the “Notice of Objection”), the Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding. Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections set forth therein. If Purchaser provides the Notice of Objection to Seller within such 15-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30-day period following Seller’s receipt of the Notice of Objection, attempt in good faith to resolve Purchaser’s objections. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all such objections within such 30-day period, the matters remaining in dispute that were properly included in the Notice of Objection (the “Unresolved Items”) shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”), which Accounting Firm shall resolve such matters; provided that if Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon such firm within ten days after the end of such 30-day period, then the Accounting Firm shall be an accounting or valuation firm of national standing appointed by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York; provided that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement with) either Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or Seller (or any of its Affiliates including iHeartMedia, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries). Each Party shall furnish the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items still in dispute as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request and shall be afforded an opportunity to discuss such Unresolved Items with the Accounting Firm at such hearing as the Accounting Firm shall request or permit; provided, that (i) each Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Accounting Firm, and (ii) no Party (or any of its Affiliates, advisors or representatives) shall engage in any ex parte communication with the Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. The Accounting Firm shall only resolve the Unresolved Items. The resolution of the Unresolved Items by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Accounting Firm shall allocate, and Purchaser and Seller shall pay, its fees, costs and expenses between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Parties bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such Parties.
(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 1.4:
(i) If the Closing Consideration delivered on the Closing Date exceeds the final Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and contained in the Final Closing Statement; Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such excess; and
(ii) If the amount of the final Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and contained in the Final Closing Statement exceeds Closing Consideration delivered on the Closing Date; Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to such excess. Any amount paid with respect to final adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be (i) paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving Party and (ii) treated as an adjustment of the Purchase Price for applicable tax purposes to the extent permitted by Tax Law.
Disputes and Remedies 6.01 Agreement of the Parties The Parties agree that the interests of fairness, efficiency, and good business practices are best served when the Parties employ all reasonable and informal means to resolve any dispute under the Contract before resorting to formal dispute resolution processes otherwise provided in the Contract. The Parties will use all reasonable and informal means of resolving disputes prior to invoking a remedy provided elsewhere in the Contract, unless HHSC immediately terminates the Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract. Any dispute, that in the judgment of any Party to the Agreement, may materially affect the performance of any Party will be reduced to writing and delivered to the other Party within 10 business days after the dispute arises. The Parties must then negotiate in good faith and use every reasonable effort to resolve the dispute at the managerial or executive levels prior to initiating formal proceedings pursuant to the UTC and Texas Government Code §2260, unless a Party has reasonably determined that a negotiated resolution is not possible and has so notified the other Party. The resolution of any dispute disposed of by agreement between the Parties will be reduced to writing and delivered to all Parties within 10 business days of such resolution.
