Environmental Defects If Buyer determines that with respect to the Asset there exists an Environmental Condition (other than with respect to asbestos, asbestos containing materials, or NORM, and excluding any matter set forth on Schedule 6.10) (in each case, an “Environmental Defect”), then on or prior to the Defect Claim Date, Buyer may give Seller a written notice of such Environmental Defect that sets forth the information required by this Section 3.17 (an “Environmental Defect Notice”). For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any Environmental Defect that Buyer fails to timely and properly assert as an Environmental Defect by an Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Defect Claim Date. To be effective, an Environmental Defect Notice must set forth (a) a clear description of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Defect, (b) a description of each Asset (or portion thereof) affected by the alleged Environmental Defect, (c) the estimated proportionate share attributable to the Assets of the estimated Lowest Cost Response to eliminate the alleged Environmental Defect (the “Environmental Defect Amount”), and (d) supporting documents and reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect and the Environmental Defect Amount. Buyer shall furnish Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Defect Claim Date, Environmental Defect Notices with respect to any Environmental Defects that any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, representatives, attorneys, or other environmental personnel or contractors discover or become aware of during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Defect Claim Date; provided that notwithstanding this sentence, any Environmental Defect Notice shall be deemed timely if received by Seller prior to the Defect Claim Date.
Title Defects 9.1 Purchaser shall have until April 21, 1999 in which to examine the Commitment and the Surveys. If Purchaser finds title to be defective, Purchaser shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, notify Seller in writing, specifying the title defect(s). If Purchaser fails to give Seller written notice of any title defect(s) before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, the defects shown in the Commitment or the Surveys shall be deemed to be waived as title objections to closing this transaction.
9.2 If Purchaser has given Seller timely written notice of defect(s) and the defect(s) render the title other than as represented in this Agreement or if any new defects appear from the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause only those defects recorded after October 7, 1997 to be cured by the Closing Date. Seller agrees to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any such lien (other than environmental liens) against the Property capable of removal by the payment of money or bonding. Seller shall not be obligated to (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) cure any other defect or to buyout or settle any other claim or lien against the Property. At Seller's option, the Closing Date may be extended for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days for purposes of eliminating such title defects. If such additional time is reasonably required by Seller to cure such title defects, Seller's failure to extend the Closing Date shall be commercially unreasonable.
9.3 If Seller does not eliminate such defects as of the Closing Date, as the same may be extended under the preceding sentence, or if any new "title defects" appear between the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date which Seller does not eliminate as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option to:
9.3.1 Close and accept the title "as is," without reduction in the Purchase Price and without claim against Seller for such title defects (except for any lien that Seller is required to cure pursuant to Section 9.2 that can be removed by the payment of money or bonding, for which credit shall be given Purchaser at the Closing unless Seller pays the same at the Closing) (and in such event, the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date); or
9.3.2 Cancel this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, shall return the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, to Purchaser, and both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive such termination, unless such title defects were caused by Seller's willful act or willful omission, in which event Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for damages caused by such title defects.
Title Defect (a) In the event Seller receives notice of any Survey Objection or Title Objection (collectively and individually a “Title Defect”) within the time periods required under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to attempt to remove, or cause to be removed at its expense, any such Title Defect, and shall provide Purchaser with notice within five (5) days of its receipt of any such objection, of its intention to attempt to cure such any such Title Defect. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any Title Defect, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended for a period of twenty (20) days for the purpose of such removal. In the event that (i) Seller elects not to attempt to cure any such Title Defect, or (ii) Seller is unable to cure any such Title Defect within such twenty (20) days from the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall so notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, together with all interest which has accrued thereon, or to waive such Title Defect and proceed to the Closing. Purchaser shall make such election by written notice to Seller within three (3) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If Seller has elected to cure a Title Defect and thereafter fails to timely cure such Title Defect, and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then (i) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with this transaction incurred after the date on which Seller informed Purchaser of its election to cure the Title Defect, not to exceed the Reimbursement Cap, and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly return Purchaser’s Information to Seller, after which neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under this Agreement except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing, any Title Defects waived by Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. If, within the three-day period, Purchaser fails to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the Title Defect and to have elected to proceed to the Closing.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Property, in the manner described above, relating to liens and security interests securing any financings to Seller, any judgment liens, which are in existence on the Effective Date, or which come into existence after the Effective Date, and any mechanic’s liens resulting from work at the Property commissioned by Seller; provided, however, that any such mechanic’s lien may be cured by bonding in accordance with Pennsylvania law. In addition, Seller shall be obligated to pay off any outstanding real estate taxes that were due and payable prior to the Closing (but subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10.4 below).
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 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.
Remedies for Environmental Defects (a) If any Environmental Defect described in a notice delivered in accordance with Section 4.03 is not cured on or before the Closing, and Seller has not elected to exclude the affected Assets from this sale or Buyer and Seller have not agreed for Seller to indemnify Buyer for the Environmental Defect, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Environmental Defect Value of such Environmental Defect as agreed by the Parties.
(b) If Buyer and Seller have not agreed as to the validity of any asserted Environmental Defect, or if the Parties have not agreed on the Environmental Defect Value therefor, and if Seller shall not have elected to exclude the affected Assets from this sale pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(ii), then either Party shall have the right to elect to have the validity of the asserted Environmental Defect, and/or the Environmental Defect Value for such Environmental Defect, determined by an Independent Expert pursuant to Section 16.03. If the validity of any such asserted Environmental Defect or the amount of any such Environmental Defect Value is not determined by the Closing, the Asset affected by such disputed Environmental Defect shall be excluded from the Closing and the Purchase Price paid at the Closing shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of that Asset. Upon resolution of such dispute, the Allocated Value of that Asset less the Environmental Defect Value, if any, found to be attributable to such Environmental Defect shall, subject to this Section 4.04, be paid by Buyer to Seller and the Asset conveyed to Buyer, if that is part of the mutually agreed settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Buyer or Seller shall have the right to exclude an Asset from the sale if the Environmental Defect Value exceeds the Allocated Value of the Asset(s) affected thereby.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) if the Environmental Defect Value for a given individual Environmental Defect does not exceed $50,000, then no adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made for such Environmental Defect; (ii) if the aggregate adjustment to the Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Agreement for Title Defects and Environmental Defects does not exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price prior to any adjustments thereto, then no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made therefore and (iii) if the aggregate adjustment to the Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Agreement for Title Defects and Environmental Defects does exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price prior to any adjustments thereto, then the Purchase Price shall only be adjusted by the amount of such excess.
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 Title Defects (a) If Buyer discovers any Title Defect affecting any Asset, Buyer shall notify Seller as promptly as possible, but no later than the expiration of the Examination Period of such alleged Title Defect. To be effective, such notice must (i) be in writing, (ii) be received by Seller by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the expiration date of the Examination Period and (iii) describe the Title Defect in reasonable detail, to the extent then reasonably known by Buyer (including the estimated value of such Title Defect as determined by Buyer). Any matters that may otherwise constitute Title Defects, but of which Seller has not been notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) Upon the receipt of such effective notice from Buyer, Seller, at Seller’s option, shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a), attempt to cure such Title Defect at any time prior to the Closing or (ii) exclude the affected Asset from the sale and reduce the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such affected Asset as set forth on Exhibit C.
(c) The value attributable to each Title Defect (the “Title Defect Value”) that is asserted by Buyer in the Title Defect notices shall be determined based upon the criteria set forth below:
(i) If the Title Defect is a lien upon any Asset, the Title Defect Value is the amount reasonably expected to be necessary to be paid to remove the lien from the affected Asset.
(ii) If the Title Defect asserted is that the Net Revenue Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is less than that stated in Exhibit C or the Working Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is greater than that stated in Exhibit C, then the Title Defect Value shall take into account the relative change in the interest from Exhibit C and the appropriate Allocated Value attributed to such Asset.
(iii) If the Title Defect represents an obligation, encumbrance, burden or charge upon the affected Asset (including any increase in Working Interest for which there is not a proportionate increase in Net Revenue Interest) for which the economic detriment to Buyer is unliquidated, the amount of the Title Defect Value shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the affected Asset, the portion of the Asset affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential discounted economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the affected Asset.
(iv) If a Title Defect is not in effect or does not adversely affect an Asset throughout the entire productive life of such Asset, such fact shall be taken into account in determining the Title Defect Value.
(v) The Title Defect Value shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Value hereunder.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Title Defect Value exceed the Allocated Value of the Wxxxx, units or other Assets affected thereby.
(vii) Such other factors as are reasonably necessary to make a proper evaluation.
Title Matters Seller agrees to share equally with Buyer the closing costs and the cost of a title insurance company's commitment for and policy of title insurance. Buyer shall pay for any lender’s/mortgagee’s/instrument holder’s title insurance coverage. The title insurance company will furnish a copy of the commitment for title insurance and copies of all of the exception documents referred to therein (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Title Commitment”) to Seller, Buyer, Buyer’s lender and the listing/selling broker as promptly as possible. The Title Commitment shall show a merchantable title vested in Seller, subject to easements, restrictions and protective covenants of record, right-of-way’s, setbacks, tenant rights, trees, fences, ordinances and regulations, unmatured and future assessments, restrictions and protective covenants of record, provided no forfeiture provisions as contained therein, encroachments and overlaps, zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, those exceptions which are standard to a policy of title insurance in the State of Kansas or as specified herein, and those matters attaching to the title by reason of Buyer taking title to the real property. Buyer shall have a period of five (5) days following receipt of the Title Commitment (the “Objection Period”) in which to examine the Title Commitment and advise Seller in writing of any objections ("Title Objections") the Buyer may have to Seller's title as shown in the Title Commitment. Seller shall then have a period of five (5) days in which to notify Buyer in writing of those Title Objections it elects to cure. In the event Seller elects to cure less than all of the Title Objections, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days of its receipt of Seller's notice, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, Seller shall have until Closing ("Cure Period") in which to cure the Title Objections the Seller has elected to cure, which the Buyer Agrees to extend for an additional 45 days in the event Seller has initiated a lawsuit to cure the title objection or objections. Title Objections may also be cured in accordance with applicable current titled standards in the Kansas Title Standards Handbook.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS 38.7.8.1 In the worse case scenario, many environmental concerns must be addressed. Along with the police and fire marshal, the state environmental protection department will be on site to monitor the situation.
38.7.8.2 Items to be concerned with in a large central office building could include:
38.7.8.2.1 Emergency engine fuel supply. Damage to the standby equipment and the fuel handling equipment could have created “spill” conditions that have to be handled within state and federal regulations.
38.7.8.2.2 Asbestos-containing materials that may be spread throughout the wreckage. Asbestos could be in many components of building, electrical, mechanical, outside plant distribution, and telephone systems.
