(xii) Borrower shall not allow any Institutional Control on or to affect the Property; and (xiii) Borrower shall take all acts necessary to preserve its status, if applicable, as an “innocent landowner,” “contiguous property owner,” or “prospective purchaser” as to the Property and as those terms are defined in CERCLA; provided, however, that this covenant does not limit or modify any of Borrower's other duties or obligations under this Agreement.
(b) If Lender has reason to believe that an environmental hazard or noncompliance with or liability under Environmental Laws exists on the Property, upon reasonable notice from Lender, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, promptly cause an engineer or consultant satisfactory to Lender to conduct an environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined by Lender in its discretion) and take any samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other invasive testing requested by Lender and promptly deliver the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing; provided, however, if such results are not delivered to Lender within a reasonable period or if Lender has reason to believe that an environmental hazard or noncompliance with or liability under Environmental Laws exists on the Property that, in Lender’s sole judgment, endangers any Tenant or other occupant of the Property or their guests or the general public or may materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender and any other Person designated by Lender, including any receiver, any representative of a governmental entity, and any environmental consultant, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Borrower's expense, to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and its use, including conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined by Lender in its discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and reasonably conducting other invasive testing.

All such work shall be conducted by licensed and reputable contractors pursuant to written plans approved by such Governmental Authority in question (if applicable), under proper permits and licenses (if applicable) with such insurance coverage as is customarily maintained by prudent property owners in similar situations. If the cost of the work exceeds $100,000.00, then Lender shall have the right of prior approval over the environmental contractor and plans, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses of the remedial work shall be promptly paid by Borrower. In the event Borrower fails to undertake the remedial work, or fails to complete the same within a reasonable time period after the same is undertaken, and if Lender is of the good faith opinion that Lender’s security in the Property is jeopardized thereby, then Lender shall have the right to undertake or complete the remedial work itself. In such event, all costs of Lender in doing so, including all fees and expenses of environmental consultants, engineers, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, shall become a part of the Loan and shall be due and payable from Borrower upon demand. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents, and failure to pay the same shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. In the event any Hazardous Substances are removed from the Property, either by Borrower or Lender, such disposal manifests and other records shall be prepared in the name of the Borrower and reflect Borrower as the responsible party, with Borrower assuming any and all liability for such removed Hazardous Substances.

(b) If Lender has a reasonable basis to believe that an environmental condition in violation of Environmental Law exists on any Individual Property, upon reasonable written notice from Lender, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, promptly cause an engineer or consultant reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct an environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion) and take any samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other invasive testing at such Individual Property as reasonably requested by L▇▇▇▇▇ and promptly deliver the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing; provided, however, if such results are not delivered to Lender within a reasonable period or if Lender has a reasonable basis to believe that an environmental hazard exists on the Property that, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, endangers the health of any Tenant or other occupant of the Property or their guests or the general public or is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the value of the applicable Individual Property, upon reasonable written notice to Borrower, Lender and any other Person designated by L▇▇▇▇▇, including any receiver, any representative of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the matter, and any environmental consultant, shall have the right, subject to the rights of the occupants of the Individual Property, but not the obligation, to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at all reasonable times to assess the environmental hazard on the applicable Individual Property, including conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing, in each case, to the extent reasonably determined to be warranted in connection with such suspected environmental hazard. Borrower shall cooperate with and provide Lender and any such Person designated by Lender with access to the applicable Individual Property. Unless an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to perform an environmental site assessment or audit hereunder with respect to any Individual Property more often than once per twelve (12) month period.

If the cost of the work exceeds $1,000,000, then Lender shall have the right of prior approval over the environmental contractor and plans, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses of the remedial work shall be promptly paid by B▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. In the event B▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to undertake the remedial work, or fails to complete the same within a reasonable time period after the same is undertaken, and if Lender is of the good faith opinion that L▇▇▇▇▇’s security in the applicable Individual Property is jeopardized thereby, then Lender shall have the right to undertake or complete the remedial work itself. In such event all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lender in doing so, including all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of environmental consultants, engineers, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, shall become a part of the Loan and shall be due and payable from Borrower upon demand. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents, and failure to pay the same shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. In the event any Hazardous Substances are removed from the Property, either by Borrower or Lender, the number assigned by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to such Hazardous Substances shall be solely in the name of Borrower, and Borrower shall have any and all liability for such removed Hazardous Substances.
