Original Borrower and New Borrower (as assignee of Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C.) have entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Contract") for the transfer of the Mortgaged Property as well as an additional parcel, as more fully described in Exhibit B hereto (the “Property”). Original Borrower desires to convey the Property to New Borrower pursuant to the Purchase Contract, and New Borrower desires to assume all of the duties and obligations of Original Borrower under the Note and the Mortgage arising from and after the Effective Date.

1.3

Lender is willing to consent to such conveyance and assumption, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

Except for any notice of default that may be expressly provided for in the Assumed Loan Documents, this Assumption Agreement, the New Environmental Indemnity, the New Guaranty or in any other documents executed by New Borrower or the New Guarantor in connection with the Loan (collectively, the "Loan Documents"), New Borrower hereby waives notice of default, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of demand or protest.

If any demand is made at any time upon Lender for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of the Loan Documents but only to the extent any such amounts first became due or arose out of circumstances or conditions first occurring following the Effective Date and if Lender repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, New Borrower will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so paid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by Lender.

9.2

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Assumption Agreement or the Original Loan Documents, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, Original Borrower is released from all liability to Lender under the Original Loan Documents, and Original Guarantors are released from all liabilities under the Original Guaranty; provided, however, that such release will not in any manner affect the validity or enforceability of the Assumed Loan Documents as to New Borrower or New Guarantor.
