3.     Covenants. Indemnitors shall:

 

a.           comply, and cause all other persons on or occupying the Project to comply, with all Laws relating to Hazardous Material;

 

b.           not install, use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, release or dispose of, nor permit the installation, use, generation, storage, treatment, release or disposal of, Hazardous Material on, under or about the Project; provided, however, that "Hazardous Material" shall not include commercially reasonable amounts of such materials used in the ordinary course of construction, maintenance and operation of the Project which are used and stored in accordance with all applicable Laws relating to Hazardous Material;

 

c.           immediately advise Lender in writing of:

 

(i)          any and all Environmental Proceedings affecting the Project;

 

(ii)         the presence of any Hazardous Material on, under or about the Project of which Lender has not previously been advised in writing;

 

(iii)        any remedial action taken by, or on behalf of, any Indemnitor in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or about the Project or to any Environmental Proceedings of which Lender has not previously been advised in writing;

(v)         the discovery by any Indemnitor of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Project that could cause the Project or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Project under any Laws relating to Hazardous Material;

 

PAGE 2
 

 

d.           provide Lender with copies of all reports, analyses, notices, licenses, approvals, orders, correspondences or other written materials in its possession or reasonable control relating to the environmental condition of the Project or real property or bodies of water adjoining or in the vicinity of the Project or Environmental Proceedings immediately upon receipt, completion or delivery of such materials;

 

e.           not install or allow to be installed any tanks on, at or under the Project;

 

f.            not create or permit to continue in existence any lien (whether or not such lien has priority over the lien created by the Mortgage) upon the Project imposed pursuant to any Laws relating to Hazardous Material; and

 

g.           not change or alter the present use of the Project unless Indemnitors shall have notified Lender thereof in writing and Lender shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such change or modification will not result in the presence of Hazardous Material on the Project in question in such a level that would increase the potential liability for Environmental Proceedings.

 

4.     Right of Entry and Disclosure of Environmental Reports. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its agents, employees, consultants and contractors, an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and inspect the Project at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, and conduct such environmental audits and tests, including, without limitation, subsurface testing, soils and groundwater testing, and other tests which may physically invade the Project, in its reasonable discretion, determine are necessary or desirable. With respect to invasive testing, such as soil borings, Lender shall consult with Borrower in advance of such tests. Lender agrees, however, that it shall not conduct any such audits, unless an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents or Lender reasonably believes that such audit may disclose the presence or release of Hazardous Material or unless an environmental audit deems further testing necessary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to appoint a receiver to enforce this right to enter and inspect the Project to the extent such authority is provided under applicable law. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any inspection, audit or testing conducted in accordance with this Section 4 shall be paid by Indemnitors. The results of all investigations and reports prepared by Lender shall be and at all times remain the property of Lender and under no circumstances shall Lender have any obligation whatsoever to disclose or otherwise make available to Indemnitors or any other party such results or any other information obtained by it in connection with such investigations and reports; provided, however, that if there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents, if requested by Borrower, Lender shall provide to Borrower a copy of the written report with respect to any inspection, audit or testing for which Indemnitors have paid hereunder. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Indemnitors hereby expressly authorize Lender to make available to any party in connection with a sale of the Project any and all reports, whether prepared by Lender or prepared by Borrower and provided to Lender (collectively, the "Environmental Reports") which Lender may have with respect to the Project. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party under such circumstances of the availability of any or all of the Environmental Reports and the information contained therein. Each Indemnitor further agrees that Lender may disclose such Environmental Reports to any governmental agency or authority if they reasonably believe that they are legally required to disclose any matter contained therein to such agency or authority; provided that Lender shall give Borrower at least 48 hours prior written notice before so doing. Each Indemnitor acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the Environmental Reports, and that the release of the Environmental Reports, or any information contained therein, to prospective bidders at any foreclosure sale of the Project may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale. Each Indemnitor agrees that Lender shall not have any liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any or all of the Environmental Reports or any information contained therein to any third party, and each Indemnitor hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action arising out of, connected with or incidental to the Environmental Reports or the delivery thereof.

5.     Indemnitor's Remedial Work. Indemnitors shall promptly perform any and all necessary remedial work ("Remedial Work") in response to any Environmental Proceedings or the presence, storage, use, disposal, transportation, discharge or release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about any of the Project; provided, however, that Indemnitors shall perform or cause to be performed such Remedial Work so as to minimize any impairment to Lender's security under the Loan Documents.

 

All Remedial Work shall be conducted:

 

a.     in a diligent and timely fashion by licensed contractors acting under the supervision of a consulting environmental engineer;

 

b.     pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial Work approved by any public or private agencies or persons with a legal or contractual right to such approval;

 

c.     with such insurance coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the Remedial Work as is then customarily maintained with respect to such activities; and

 

d.     only following receipt of any required permits, licenses or approvals.

 

The selection of the Remedial Work contractors and consulting environmental engineer, the contracts entered into with such parties, any disclosures to or agreements with any public or private agencies or parties relating to Remedial Work and the written plan for the Remedial Work (and any changes thereto) shall each be subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, Indemnitors shall submit to Lender, promptly upon receipt or preparation, copies of any and all reports, studies, analyses, correspondence, governmental comments or approvals, proposed removal or other Remedial Work contracts and similar information prepared or received by Indemnitors in connection with any Remedial Work, or Hazardous Material relating to the Project. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Indemnitors, including, without limitation, the charges of the Remedial Work contractors and the consulting environmental engineer, any taxes or penalties assessed in connection with the Remedial Work and Lender’s reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Environmental Proceedings.

6.     Indemnity. Indemnitors shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold Lender and any successors to Lender’s interest in the Project, and any other Person who acquires any portion of the Project at a foreclosure sale or otherwise through the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and all directors, officers, employees and agents of all of the aforementioned indemnified parties, harmless from and against any and all actual or potential claims, liabilities, damages (direct or indirect), losses, fines, penalties, judgments, awards, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and costs and expenses of investigation) (collectively, "Expenses") which arise out of or relate in any way to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, or any Environmental Proceedings or any use, handling, production, transportation, disposal, release or storage of any Hazardous Material in, under or on the Project, whether by any Indemnitor or any other person, including, without limitation:

 

a.     all foreseeable and all unforeseeable Expenses arising out of:

 

(i)          Environmental Proceedings or the use, generation, storage, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Material by Indemnitors, any prior owner or operator of the Project or any person on or about the Project;

 

(ii)         any residual contamination affecting any natural resource or the environment; or

 

(iii)        any exercise by Lender of any of its rights and remedies hereunder; and

 

b.     the costs of any required or necessary investigation, assessment, testing, remediation, repair, cleanup, or detoxification of the Project and the preparation of any closure or other required plans.

 

Indemnitors' liability to the aforementioned indemnified parties shall arise upon the earlier to occur of (1) discovery of any Hazardous Material on, under or about the Project, or (2) the institution of any Environmental Proceedings, and not upon the realization of loss or damage, and Indemnitors shall pay to Lender from time to time, immediately upon request, an amount equal to such Expenses, as reasonably determined by Lender. In addition, in the event any Hazardous Material is removed, or caused to be removed from the Project, by Indemnitors, Lender or any other person, the number assigned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to such Environmental Proceedings or any similar identification shall in no event be in the name of Lender or identify the Lender as a generator, arranger or other designation. The foregoing indemnity shall not include Expenses arising solely from Hazardous Material which first exist on the Project following the date on which the Lender takes title to the Project, whether by foreclosure of the Mortgage, deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise or which are otherwise caused by the gross negligence or willful actions of Lender.

7.     Remedies Upon Default.      In addition to any other rights or remedies Lender may have under this Indemnity Agreement, at law or in equity, in the event that Indemnitors shall fail to timely comply with any of the provisions hereof, or in the event that any representation or warranty made herein proves to be false or misleading in any material respect, then, in such event,

 

(a)after delivering written notice to Indemnitors, which notice specifically states that Indemnitors have failed to comply with the provisions of this Indemnity Agreement; and

 

(b)after the expiration of the earlier to occur of the thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice or the cure period, if any, permitted under any applicable law, rule, regulation or order with which Indemnitors shall have failed to comply [provided that if no shorter cure period applies under any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, and such failure is susceptible to cure and cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Indemnitors shall have an additional ninety (90) day period to cure such failure hereunder so long as (Y) Indemnitors commence such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion within such resulting one hundred twenty (120) day period from the date of Lender’s notice],

 

Lender may declare an Event of Default under the Loan Documents and exercise any and all remedies provided for therein, and/or do or cause to be done whatever is reasonably necessary to cause the Project to comply with all Laws relating to Hazardous Material and other applicable Laws, rules, regulations or orders and the cost thereof shall constitute an Expense hereunder and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Indemnitors shall give to Lender and its agents and employees access to the Project for the purpose of effecting such compliance and hereby specifically grant to Lender a license, effective upon expiration of the applicable period as described above, if any, to do whatever is necessary to cause the Project to so comply, including, without limitation, to enter the Project and remove therefrom any Hazardous Material or otherwise comply with any Laws relating to Hazardous Material.

9.     Waiver.
