Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company considers the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Company due to Environmental Laws.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its Property or operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a Release of any Contaminant into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to result in liability, individually or in the aggregate, having a Material Adverse Effect.
