indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any losses or liabilities arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.

No Hazardous Material has been or is being used or stored at the Property other than Hazardous Materials of such types and in such quantities as are customarily used or stored in or at comparable, prudently-managed commercial properties which are used for any Borrower’s intended use, used, or stored for normal household purposes or used or stored in the ordinary course of any Borrower’s business, each in accordance with Environmental Laws;
(d) There has been no treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials at the Property in violation of Environmental Laws (however, the Property does generate waste which has been disposed of and generated in compliance with all Environmental Laws);

(i) No notices, disclosures, cleanups or approvals are required as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or would be required as a result of transfer of the Property (except, if and to the extent applicable, any that would be required under the local property transfer laws of the states where the respective Property is located). All such notices, disclosures, cleanups and approvals required by law have been given, made, completed or obtained, as the case may be.
5. Covenants.
Each of the Borrowers covenant and agree as follows except where the failure to do so, or as to those matters which, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(b) Such Borrower shall not directly transport, indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Materials (except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws);
(c) Such Borrower shall require all lessees and operators at any of the Property to (i) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) not cause or allow any Release of Hazardous Materials to occur in violation of Environmental Laws at, in, on, under or to migrate to or from the Property and to the extent such a Release occurs, ensure all appropriate measures are taken as expeditiously as possible; (iii) not cause or allow any Hazardous Materials to be used or stored at the Property other than Hazardous Materials of such types and in such quantities as are customarily used or stored in or at comparable, prudently-managed commercial properties, used or stored for normal household purposes or used or stored in the ordinary course of such lessee or operator’s business, each in accordance with Environmental Laws; (iv) not cause or allow any Hazardous Materials to be treated or Disposed of at the Property in violation of Environmental Laws and ensure that the storage and use of such substances shall be limited and in each case in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; (v) not conduct any operations or activities at the Property which require interim status or a permit for the treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, or that such required status or permits first be obtained and maintained as required by Environmental Laws; and (vi) lawfully dispose of all Hazardous Materials at properly permitted off-site facilities which are operating in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and which are not subject to any actual or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened environmental investigation or cleanup;

5

(h) If any Spill, Release or Disposal of Hazardous Materials shall occur or shall have occurred on the Property in violation of Environmental Laws, such Borrowers shall cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Materials and remediation of the Property in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws.

(“RCRA”) and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, that in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such broader meaning shall apply as of the effective date of such amendment and provided further, to the extent that the laws of the states where the Property are located establish a meaning for “Spill” or “Disposal” which is broader than specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
At any time after an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have occurred and while it is continuing, Lender may obtain, or, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, at any time after the Lender shall receive notice of a Spill or Release of Hazardous Materials from any Borrower, or shall have received notice from any other source deemed reliable by the Lender that a Spill or Release of Hazardous Materials may have occurred which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and Borrowers are not in compliance with the covenants of this Agreement regarding such Spill or Release, the Lender may at its election after ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrowers obtain one or more environmental assessments or reports regarding the Property prepared by a geohydrologist, an independent engineer or other qualified consultant or expert approved by the Lender evaluating or confirming (i) such Spill or Release and whether any Hazardous Materials spilled or released are present in the soil or water at or migrated to any adjacent property, and (ii) whether the Borrowers use and operation of the Property complies in all material respects with all Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of the Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are necessary for a complete determination of the compliance of the Property and the use and operation thereof in all material respects with all applicable
6
Environmental Laws. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers.
