Remedies for Environmental Defects Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Environmental Defect and/or the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, in the event that any Environmental Defect timely asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 12.1(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured on or before Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to:
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.
No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.
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 Notice Promptly after the assertion or occurrence thereof, notice of any action or proceeding against or of any noncompliance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
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 Assessment In connection with its surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of this Lease (or in the event of an earlier termination of this Lease, as soon as reasonably possible following such termination), an environmental Assessment of the Premises by a competent and experienced environmental engineer or engineering firm reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (pursuant to a contract approved by Landlord and providing that Landlord can rely on the Environmental Assessment). If such Environmental Assessment reveals that remediation or Clean-up is required under any Environmental Laws that Tenant is responsible for under this Lease, Tenant shall submit a remediation plan prepared by a recognized environmental consultant and shall be responsible for all costs of remediation and Clean-up, as more particularly provided in Section 5.3, above.
Environmental Warranties Except as set forth in Item 6.12 of the Disclosure Schedule:
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.
