Section 2.12(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter identifies, as of the date hereof, all of the leases for real property to which each Subject Company is a party (the “Leases”). Except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) of the Disclosure Letter, the Leases constitute all real property owned, leased, subleased, licensed or otherwise used in the operation of the Business. The Sellers have previously provided or otherwise made available to Apollo true, complete and correct copies of such Leases. As of the date hereof, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, be Material to a Reasonable Investor, there is no default by the lessee or, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, the lessor under any such lease and to the Sellers’ Knowledge the use and operation of the property subject to the Leases does not violate any Applicable Law. Except as may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or general equitable principles, (i) each Lease is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subject Company party thereto and, to the Knowledge of the Sellers, each other party to such Lease and (ii) each Lease is enforceable against such Subject Company and, to the Knowledge of the Sellers, each other party to such Lease. No Subject Company owns any real property.

The Subject Companies have maintained in all material respects all tangible assets in good repair, working order and operating condition, subject only to ordinary wear and tear, except for any failure to be in good repair, working order or operating condition that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be Material to a Reasonable Investor.
Environmental Laws and Hazardous Materials The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local rules, laws and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment which are applicable to their businesses (“Environmental Laws”).

Hazardous Wastes In the event that the Mortgaged Property, related to a Mortgage Loan which is being considered for liquidation by foreclosure or the transfer of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, contains, and the Servicer has reason to believe that it contains, hazardous or regulated substances which may impose liability, for damages, remediation or otherwise, upon the owner of such Mortgaged Property pursuant to Federal, State or local law, the Servicer shall not, except with the express prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which approval makes specific reference to the presence of such hazardous or regulated substances, undertake or continue the process of foreclosure with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke Public Law 103-227 (also known as the Pro-Children Act of 1994) and Vermont’s Act 135 (2014) (An act relating to smoking in lodging establishments, hospitals, and child care facilities, and on State lands) restrict the use of tobacco products in certain settings. Party shall ensure that no person is permitted: (i) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes as defined in 7 V.S.A. § 1001 on the premises, both indoor and outdoor, of any licensed child care center or afterschool program at any time; (ii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises, both indoor and in any outdoor area designated for child care, health or day care services, kindergarten, pre-kindergarten, elementary, or secondary education or library services; and (iii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises of a licensed or registered family child care home while children are present and in care. Party will refrain from promoting the use of tobacco products for all clients and from making tobacco products available to minors.
