4.2.          Security for Costs.  If the potential costs associated with the actions required in Section 4.1, the release of any unpermitted lien against all or any portion of the Property and/or the release or other satisfaction of the liability, if any, of Indemnitors with respect to all or any portion of the Property arising under or related to any of the applicable Environmental Laws or any Environmental Enforcement Action are determined by Agent, in good faith, to exceed $1,000,000.00, Agent shall have the right (in addition to any other right or remedy) to require Indemnitors to provide, and Indemnitors shall provide within thirty (30) days after written request therefor, a bond, letter of credit or other similar financial assurance, in form, amount and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, in its good faith judgment based on the reasonably estimated costs for such matter, evidencing to Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that the necessary financial resources will be unconditionally available to pay for all of the foregoing.

 

4.3.          Environmental Assessments.  Without limitation of the provisions of Section 5 below, Agent shall have the right to require Indemnitors, at Indemnitors’ own cost and expense, to obtain a professional environmental assessment of each portion of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Agent’s then standard environmental assessment requirements and sufficient in scope to comply with the requirements of Section 5.1 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

5



 

guidelines now or hereafter affecting Agent or any Lender.  Such environmental assessments may include, without limitation, (i) detailed visual inspections of any or all of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, drywells and leaching areas; (ii) the taking of soil samples and surface and sub­surface water samples; (iii) the performance of soils and ground water analyses; and (iv) the performance of such other investigations or analyses as are necessary or appropriate and consistent with sound professional environmental engineering practice in order for Agent to obtain a complete assessment of the compliance of any or all of the Mortgaged Property and the use thereof with all Environmental Laws and to make a determination as to whether or not there is any risk of contamination (x) to any of the Mortgaged Property resulting from Hazardous Materials originating on, under or from any Surrounding Property or (y) with respect to the Mortgaged Property to any Surrounding Property resulting from Hazardous Materials originating on, under or from any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

5.2.3.
