Property, or for purposes of enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and

respects and shall remain in full force and effect and this Agreement shall have

kind or character incurred by or asserted against Indemnitees in connection with

any way connected with or result from the acts, actions or omissions of
Transferor or Indemnitor. Transferee and Replacement Indemnitor
jointly and severally agree to indemnify Indemnitees, and defend and hold them

and liabilities whatsoever, known or unknown, at law or in equity, originating

including, without limitation, any contracting for, charging, taking, reserving,
collecting or receiving interest in excess of the highest lawful rate applicable
thereto and any loss, cost or damage, of any kind or character, arising out of
or in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the acts, actions or
omissions of Indemnitees, including any requirement that the Loan Documents be
modified as a condition to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any
charging, collecting or contracting for prepayment premiums, transfer fees, or
assumption fees, any breach of fiduciary commitment, undue influence, duress,
economic coercion, violation of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws

Transferee, Indemnitor and Replacement Indemnitor agree that Noteholder has no
fiduciary or similar obligations to any of such parties and that their
relationship is strictly that of creditor and debtor. This release is
accepted by Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be construed as

13. Usury. It
is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of all of the parties hereto
at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or
amount of interest payable on or in connection with the Note and the Loan (or
applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Noteholder to
contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest
payable on or in connection with the Note and the Loan than under applicable
law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under the Mortgage, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if Transferor or Transferee
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is the
express intent of all of the parties that all excess amounts theretofore
collected by Noteholder or Lender be credited to the then outstanding principal
balance of the Note (or, if the Note has been or would thereby be paid in full,
any surplus refunded to Transferor or Transferee), and the provisions of the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents immediately be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to
comply with such applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. The right to
accelerate the maturity of the Note does not include the right to accelerate any
interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and
Noteholder does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of
acceleration. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or
Noteholder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced
by the Note or other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread through the full term of such
indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of such indebtedness does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Note, the Mortgage, this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, as amended herein, that permits
the compounding of interest, including, without limitation, any provision by
which any of the accrued interest is added to the principal amount of the Note,
the total amount of interest that Transferor or Transferee is obligated to pay
and Noteholder is entitled to receive with respect to the Loan shall not exceed
the amount calculated on a simple (i.e., non-compounded) interest basis at the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law on principal amounts actually advanced to
or for the account of Transferor or Transferee, including all current and prior
advances and any advances made pursuant to the Mortgage, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, as amended herein (including, but not limited to, the
payment of taxes, insurance premiums and the like). The provisions of
the Note and the other Loan Documents limiting the amount of interest which may
be contracted for, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced thereby and
dealing with the rights and duties of the parties with respect to the charging
or receiving of interest in excess of the maximum rate, are hereby incorporated
in this Agreement by reference as though fully set forth herein. To
the extent permitted by law, the Transferor, Transferee, the Indemnitor and the
Replacement Indemnitor hereby waive and release all claims and defenses based
upon usury in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note and the
other Loan Documents and the borrowing of the funds represented by the
Loan.

14. Further
Assurances. Transferor, Indemnitor, Transferee and Replacement
Indemnitor agree to perform such other and further acts, and to execute such
additional documents, agreements, notices or financing statements, as Noteholder
deems reasonably necessary or desirable from time to time to create, preserve,
continue, perfect, validate or carry out any of Noteholder’s rights under this
Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.
15. Reservation of
Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or
in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without
limitation, the right to contribution, which Noteholder may have against
Transferor, Indemnitor, Transferee, Replacement Indemnitor, or any other party
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980 (codified at Title 42, U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq.), as it may
be amended from time to time, any successor statute thereto or any other
applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly
reserved.
16. Compliance with
Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions, and Anti-Money Laundering
Laws. Transferee shall comply with all Requirements of Law
relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic
sanctions, now or hereafter in effect. Upon Noteholder’s request from
time to time during the term of the Loan, Transferee shall certify in writing to
Lender that Transferee’s representations, warranties, and obligations under this
Section 16 remain true and correct and have not been
breached. Transferee shall immediately notify lender in writing if
any of such representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have
been breached or if Transferee has reasonable basis to believe that they may no
longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an
event, Transferee shall comply with all Requirements of Law and directives of
Governmental Authorities and, at Noteholder’s request, provide to Noteholder
copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or
received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such an
event. Transferee shall also reimburse Noteholder any expense
incurred by Noteholder in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loan and
Noteholder’s interest in the collateral for the Loan, in obtaining any necessary
license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Noteholder to
enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in complying with all
Requirements of Law applicable to Noteholder as the result of the existence of
such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Noteholder as a result
thereof. Further, Transferee shall immediately notify Noteholder in
writing if any future tenant of the Property (i) is identified on the OFAC List,
or (ii) is a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to
engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other
prohibition of United States law, regulation, or Executive Order of the
