violation of any applicable Environmental Laws related to all or any portion of
the Property or the presence or any release or any threat of release of any

extent that Indemnitors have the legal obligation to do so) the Surrounding
Property as are required pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws.

 

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.

Rights to Inspect the Property and Take Remedial Actions.

 

5.1.          Assessments.  In addition to, and not in limitation of any
of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, as long as any Credit
Obligation remains outstanding, so long as any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, through
such representatives or independent contractors as it may designate, to enter
upon the Mortgaged Property or any of same and to expend funds (provided,
however, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to minimize (a) any disruption
to Indemnitors’ business operations at the Mortgaged Property, and (b) all
costs associated with each such assessment) to cause one or more environmental
assessments of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to be undertaken,
if Agent in 

 

5

 

its reasonable and good faith discretion at any
reasonable time and upon reasonable notice to Indemnitors, and from time to
time at reasonable intervals and upon reasonable notice to Indemnitors,
determines that Hazardous Materials may exist at the Mortgaged Property in
amounts or under circumstances that could give rise to a material liability
under applicable Environmental Laws, which determination may be based on
regulatory requirements and/or internal 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 sub-surface 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.                              Other

Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, through

upon any or all of the Mortgaged Property and to expend funds (provided,
however, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to minimize (a) any disruption
to Indemnitors’ business operations at the Mortgaged Property, and (b) all
costs associated with each such assessment) to:

 

5.2.1.       Cure.  Cure any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and

advanced by Agent and all costs and expenditures incurred in connection with
any action taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including but not
limited to environmental consultants, and experts’ fees and expenses,

such actions taken or require Agent to expend further sums to cure such
