3.1

Operations. So long as Indemnitor owns or is in possession of the Property, Indemnitor: (i) shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances and in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (ii) shall promptly notify Lender if Indemnitor shall become aware of any Hazardous Substances (other than Permitted Materials) on or near the Property and/or if Indemnitor shall become aware that the Property is in direct or indirect violation of any Environmental Laws and/or if Indemnitor shall become aware of any condition on the Property which in the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified engineer or consultant engaged by Lender ("Lender's Environmental Consultant") shall pose a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of humans; (iii) shall remove those Hazardous Substances and/or cure those violations and/or remove such threats, as applicable, as required by law (or as shall be required by Lender, in the case of removal which is not required by the provisions of law, but in response to the opinion of Lender's Environmental Consultant), promptly after Indemnitor becomes aware of same, at Indemnitor's sole expense; and (iv) shall comply with all of the recommendations contained in the environmental report which was delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the loan transaction evidenced by the Loan Documents.
