The Administrative Agent shall have received environmental review reports with respect to the real properties of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries specified by the Administrative Agent from firm(s) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which reports shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any environmental hazards or liabilities identified in any such environmental review report shall indicate the Loan Parties’ plans with respect thereto.

Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements were 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 # did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM [[Unknown Identifier]] or its successor, an “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or # 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: # 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; # 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, based on the ESA, can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; # 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); # an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; # 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 # a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action.

Environmental Covenants. Except as commonly occurring in the normal and customary oil and gas exploration activities from time to time, Borrowers will immediately notify the Bank of and provide the Bank with copies of any notifications of discharges or releases or threatened releases or discharges of a Polluting Substance on, upon, into or from the Collateral which are given or required to be given by or on behalf of Borrowers to any federal, state or local Tribunal if any of the foregoing may materially and adversely affect Borrowers or any part of the Collateral, and such copies of notifications shall be delivered to the Bank at the same time as they are delivered to the Tribunal. Borrowers further agree promptly to undertake and diligently pursue to completion any prudent, legally required or authorized remedial containment and cleanup action in the event of any release or discharge or threatened release or discharge of a Polluting Substance on, upon, into or from the Collateral. At all times while owning and operating the Collateral, Borrowers will maintain and retain complete and accurate records of all releases, discharges or other disposal of Polluting Substances on, onto, into or from the Collateral, including, without limitation, records of the quantity and type of any Polluting Substances disposed of on or off the Collateral.

Environmental Indemnities. Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, contractors and each of its affiliates, successors or assigns, or transferees from and against, and reimburse said Persons in full with respect to, any and all loss, liability, damage, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, occasioned by or associated with any claims, demands, causes of action, suits and/or enforcement actions, including any administrative or judicial proceedings, and any remedial, removal or response actions ever asserted, threatened, instituted or requested by any Persons, including any Tribunal, arising out of or related to: # the breach of any representation or warranty of Borrowers contained in Section 7.16 set forth herein; # the failure of Borrowers to perform any of their covenants contained in [Section 6.7] herein; # the ownership, construction, occupancy, operation, use of the Collateral prior to the earlier of the date on which # the Indebtedness and obligations secured hereby have been paid and performed in full and the Security Instruments have been released, or # the Collateral has been sold by the Bank following the Bank's ownership of the Collateral by way of foreclosure of the Liens granted pursuant hereto, deed in lieu of such foreclosure or otherwise (the "Release Date"); provided, however, this indemnity shall not apply with respect to matters caused by or arising solely from the Bank's or its officers', directors', employees', agents', consultants', attorneys', contractors', or any of its affiliates', successors', assigns' or transferees' activities during any period of time the Bank acquires ownership of the Collateral.

Environmental Representations. To the best of each Borrower's knowledge and belief, upon reasonable and good faith inquiry exercised with due diligence and in accordance with normal industry standards:

Environmental Matters. The Company is in compliance with all requisite Environmental Laws in all material respects. The Company has received any written notice regarding any violation of any Environmental Laws, including any investigatory, remedial or corrective obligations, which, if determined adversely to the Company, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company holds all Permits and authorizations required under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the failure to hold such Permits and authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, and is compliance with all terms, conditions and provisions of all such Permits and authorizations in all material respects. No releases of hazardous materials have occurred at, from, in, to, on or under any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by the Company or any predecessor thereof and no hazardous materials are present in, on, about or migrating to or from any such property which could result in any liability to the Company. Neither the Company has transported or arranged for the treatment, storage, handling, disposal, or transportation of any hazardous material to any off-site location which could result in any liability to Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company has any liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law that if enforced or collected would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. There are no past, pending or threatened claims under Environmental Laws against the Company and the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a liability or claim against the Company pursuant to Environmental Laws.

Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs. On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
