If at any time Borrower becomes aware of (a) any defects, facts or conditions affecting the Property or any portion thereof or any of the Personal Property or other Collateral which would make a material portion of the Property unsuitable for the occupancy, operation, lease, use or sale thereof, or (b) any surface or subsurface soils conditions adversely affecting the Property, or (c) any fact, event, occurrence or condition that would render or cause any of Borrower’s representations or warranties in the Loan Documents to be then incorrect or incomplete if such representation or warranty were remade as of such date, Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing and shall promptly and diligently cause the same to be fully remedied and cured at Borrower’s cost and expense.

6.3 Inspection.

During normal business hours for a reasonable purpose, and upon three (3) Business Days advance written notice, Borrower shall permit Lender and any Person designated by Lender to visit and inspect the Property.

Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of all communications with any third party (including, without limitation, any Governmental Agency) relating to any Environmental Law or any claim, action, notice of violation, inquiry, investigation or order relating to Hazardous Substances at, on, under or in the Property or any portion thereof. Borrower shall promptly and diligently remediate any Hazardous Substances contamination at, under, from or attributable by joint and several liability to the Property to a level which will not cause any diminution in the value of the Property, but in no event to a level less than that required by Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, if any remedial action is required under this Section 6.4(A) or by any Environmental Laws, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of such situation and shall prepare a written plan setting forth a description of such situation (and all environmental reports relating thereto) and the remedial action that Borrower proposes to implement in connection therewith. Borrower shall, at its own expense, thereafter diligently and continuously pursue the remediation of the condition necessary to bring the Property into compliance with this Section 6.4(A) and shall, at its own expense, promptly cause all liens or encumbrances against the Property in connection therewith to be removed and satisfied.

B. Lender shall have the right at any time to retain a professional environmental consultant to conduct tests and investigations of the Property (including, without limitation, ground water and soils testing) with respect to Hazardous Substances or the Property’s compliance with Environmental Laws provided that (1) Lender reasonably believes that there has been a violation of Environmental Laws, (2) an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Document, or (3) Lender is required to do so by applicable Laws. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, its agents, employees, consultants and contractors, an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and inspect the Property and to conduct such tests and investigations on the Property or any portion thereof as Lender, in its sole discretion, determines necessary; provided, however that Lender shall provide three (3) Business Days advance written notice.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as between it and Lender, only Borrower owns and operates the Property and only Borrower has the responsibility for compliance with this Section 6.4 and neither Lender’s enforcement of, or failure to enforce, any of the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be deemed to affect the obligations or provisions of this Section 6.4.

Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, action, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, Lender shall give Borrower written notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Lender may also require Borrower to so defend the matter. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 6.4(C) are, without limitation, intended to operate as a binding valid indemnity agreement under 42 U.S.C. § 9607(e)(1) and shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction of all other Secured Obligations.

D.

Except as expressly provided herein, Borrower waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to any abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any of the Secured Obligations.

All approvals and consents required or allowed to be given by Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents must be in writing to be effective. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may only be modified in writing signed by all of the parties hereto or thereto or their respective successors and assigns. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written agreement of Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Except as expressly required by the terms

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY PERSON TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BORROWER’S AND LENDER’S ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE PARTIES WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS WITHOUT THIS WAIVER. LENDER AND BORROWER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.7 IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

8.9 Submission of Loan Documents.

The submission of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents to Borrower, Guarantor or any of the other Signature Parties or their agents or attorneys for review or signature does not constitute a commitment by Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity shall have no binding force or effect unless and until they are executed and delivered by each Signature Party and Lender and all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 have been satisfied.

8.11 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.

All agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents shall further survive any and all investigations and inquiries made by Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or implied by law to the contrary, any indemnities made by Borrower in the Loan Documents shall survive the payment of the Loan, the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, and/or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

8.12 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of the Note or portion thereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are separate, distinct and cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. No act of Lender under any of the Loan Documents shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision to the exclusion of any other provision, notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary. Borrower expressly waives all right to the benefit of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, extension, redemption, valuation, or appraisement now or hereafter provided by federal or state law, as a defense to any demand against Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.13 Survival of Obligations Upon Termination of Agreement.

No termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights, and liabilities of Borrower or Lender relating to (a) any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or cancellation, or (b) any of the undertakings, agreements, covenants, indemnities, warranties and representations of Borrower or Lender contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

8.14 Disbursements in Excess of Loan Amount.

In the event the total disbursements by Lender exceed the amount of the Loan set forth herein, the total of all disbursements shall, to the extent permitted by the laws of the Governing State, constitute part of the Secured Obligations and be secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents. All other sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

8.15 Severability.

If any term of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or other Loan Document or the application of such term to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Agreement or other Loan Document shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent.

8.16 Rules of Construction.

Where the identity of the parties to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the circumstances make it appropriate, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. The recitals to this Agreement and to each of the other Loan Documents are incorporated herein and therein and made a part hereof and thereof. All exhibits to each of the Loan Documents shall constitute a part of the applicable Loan Documents. Borrower and Lender have each had an opportunity to review and negotiate the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; accordingly, the rule requiring that language be construed against drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

8.17 Applicable Law.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Governing State.

8.18 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Borrower’s rights and obligations or any interest hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents may not be assigned, including, without limitation, assigned for security purposes, and any purported assignment shall be null and void ab initio. As used herein, and in the other Loan Documents, “Lender” (or similar references to the lender) shall include all holders of the Note, including, without limitation, pledgees of the Note, whether or not named herein or therein. In exercising any rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or taking any actions provided for herein or therein, Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors authorized by Lender.

8.19 Intentionally Omitted.

8.20 Disclaimer by Lender.

Borrower is not and shall not be an agent of Lender for any purpose. Lender is not a joint venture partner with Borrower or Guarantor.

8.21 Counterparts.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature and, if applicable, acknowledgment pages, may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of the applicable document to physically form one document, which may be recorded if applicable.

8.22 Entire Agreement.

The Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity set forth the entire understanding between Borrower and Lender relative to the Loan and the same supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

8.23 Time is of the Essence.

Time is strictly of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.24 No Third Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, and, except as provided in Section 8.17 of this Agreement, no other person or entity shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim as a beneficiary in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

8.25 Consent to Jurisdiction.

Borrower and Lender each hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the Governing State in any suit, action or proceeding based hereon or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (and further agree not to assert or claim that such venue is inconvenient or otherwise inappropriate or unsuitable), and waive personal service of any and all process upon them and consent that all service of process be made by certified mail to the applicable address set forth herein.

8.26 Brokerage Commission.

Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless for, from and against any and all expenses, loss, claims, damage or liability for any commissions, fees, charges or other compensation claimed to be due by any mortgage or real estate broker, realtor, agent or finder with whom it, or any of its Affiliates, agents, employees or representatives have had or have allegedly had any dealings in connection with the making of the Loan.

8.27 Waiver of Rights and Defenses.

To the extent (and only to the extent) that Borrower may be considered guarantors or sureties for one another because of the nature of their ownership interests in the Property, their status as tenants in common, and/or due to the joint and several nature of their obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower (other than the Trust) acknowledges that it has executed and delivered the Security Instrument, and each Borrower acknowledges that it has executed and delivered, to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents, or assumed the obligations under the Security Instrument and to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents, as applicable, with the intent of subjecting its respective interests in the Property to the lien of the Security Instrument and to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents, as security for the Note in order to induce Lender to make the Loan, and each Borrower hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to assert to take advantage of:

(a) Any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower, as co-makers of the Note, or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any other security held by Lender (and not secured by the Security Instrument) at anytime or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before exercising any right or remedy under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents.

(b) Any defense that may arise by reason of:

(i) The release, suspension, discharge or impairment of any of Lender’s rights against any other Borrower or any other party against whom Lender might assert a claim, whether such release, suspension, discharge or impairment is explicit, tacit or inadvertent; or

(ii) Lender’s failure to pursue any other remedies available to Lender that would reduce the burden of the indebtedness secured hereby on each Borrower’s interests in the Property; or

(iii) Any extension of the time for the payment or performance of any of any other Borrower’s obligations under the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents; or

(iv) The incapacity or lack of authority of any other Borrower or any person or persons; or

(v) The failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in either administration, bankruptcy or any other proceedings) of any other Borrower or any other person or persons.

(i) Notice of the evidence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation (provided that such indebtedness or obligation is not secured by the Security Instrument); or

(ii) Notice of any action or non-action on the part of any other Borrower or Lender in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender as collateral; or

(iii) Notice of payment or non-payment by any other Borrower of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument.

(d) Any right to assert against Lender any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender to foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of the power of sale, the Security Instrument, which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases, destroys or extinguishes each Borrower’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the other for reimbursement, or any other rights of each Borrower to proceed against any other person or security. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses to enforcement of all or any part of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument which defenses are based on an election of remedies by Lender, even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to the Security Instrument, will destroy each Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the others by operation of Law. Each Borrower makes this waiver with full knowledge that if Lender (i) waives a deficiency judgment in a judicial foreclosure, or (ii) exercises the power of sale under this Security Instrument, any action by any Borrower against the others to obtain reimbursement of any amount paid by such Borrower hereunder could be barred by reason of (x) Lender’s waiver of such deficiency in a judicial foreclosure or (y) Lender’s exercise of such power of sale under any provisions of Law which provides that no judgment shall be rendered for any deficiency upon a note secured by a Security Instrument upon real property in any case in which the real property has been sold by the trustee under the power of sale contained in the Security Instrument. Each Borrower understands that absent the waiver set forth herein, such Borrower would have a defense to its obligations hereunder with respect to a deficiency following a non-judicial foreclosure or a judicial foreclosure in which the Lender waived its right to a deficiency judgment against any other Borrower and that by granting this waiver, each Borrower is waiving this defense which such Borrower would have against Lender.

(e) Any rights arising because of any Borrower’s payment or satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument (i) against any other Borrower, by way of subrogation to the rights of Lender or otherwise, or (ii) against any other guarantor or any other party obligated to pay any of the indebtedness secured hereby, by way of contribution or reimbursement or otherwise.

(f) Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to any Borrower any default by any other Borrower under the Note or any other Loan Document.

(g) Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to any Borrower any facts Lender may now know or may hereafter know about any other Borrower or any successors in interest (if any) regardless of whether Lender (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond the risk which such Borrower intends to assume by executing the Loan Documents, (ii) has reason to believe that these facts are unknown to such Borrower, or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to such Borrower, it being understood and agreed that each Borrower is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of any other Borrower or any successor in interest of any other Borrower and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any indebtedness of any other Borrower to Lender that is secured hereby.

(h) Any right to object to the release of any portions of the Property from the lien of the Security Instrument notwithstanding the fact that such releases may be made without Lender having received any or adequate consideration therefor.

Each Borrower further agrees that with respect to any obligation secured by the Security Instrument Lender may, in such manner and upon such terms and at such times as Lender deems best and without demand or notice to or consent of such Borrower (i) release any party now or hereafter liable for the performance of any such obligation, (ii) extend the time for the performance of any such obligation, (iii) accept additional security therefor, and (iv) alter, substitute or release any property securing such performance.

Before executing the Loan Documents, each Borrower has made such independent legal and factual inquiries and investigations as such Borrower deemed necessary or desirable with respect to the ability of any other Borrower to honor all of such other Borrower’s covenants and agreements with Lender, and each Borrower has relied solely on said independent inquiries and investigations preparatory to entering into the Loan Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and Lender.
