NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
2. Indemnity.
2.1 In accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, all risk of loss associated with non-compliance with Environmental Laws, or with the presence of any Hazardous Materials at, upon, within, or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property lies solely with the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor has agreed to bear all risks and costs associated with any loss, damage or liability therefrom, including all costs of removal of Hazardous Materials or other remediation required by Administrative Agent or by law. Indemnitor shall at all times indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees, whether as mortgagee under the Mortgages, as a mortgagee in possession, or as successor-in-interest to Borrowers by foreclosure deed or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and whether based in contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law, including those Liabilities arising from the joint, concurrent or comparative negligence of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties and including any Liabilities arising out of or associated, in any way, with the following:
(a) the non-compliance of the Borrowers or the Mortgaged Property with Environmental Laws;
(b) any discharge or release of Hazardous Materials, the threat of discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials or the storage or presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property in violation of Environmental Law;
(c) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to the discharge or release of Hazardous Materials, the threat of discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials or the storage or presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property in violation of Environmental Law;
(d) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to the discharge or release of Hazardous Materials, the threat of discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials or the storage or presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property in violation of Environmental Law;

provided, however, Indemnitor shall not be liable under such indemnification (i) to the extent such Liabilities result solely from any Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) matters resulting solely from the actions or omissions of any Indemnitee taken after any such parties or any third parties have taken title to, or exclusive possession of the Property, (iii) solely out of Hazardous Materials in or on the Mortgaged Property or any violations of Environmental Law that were not present prior to the date that Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any assignee, designee or nominee thereof or any other Person takes possession of or acquires title to the Mortgaged Property whether by foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, foreclosure of the Pledged Interests (as defined in the Assignment of Ownership Interests), exercise of power of sale, acceptance of a deed or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Law, whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency, any other federal agency or any state or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials and whether or not the existence of any such Hazardous Materials or potential liability on account thereof is disclosed in the Site Assessment, and subject to the previous paragraph and Section 2.2 below, shall continue notwithstanding the repayment of the Loan or any transfer or sale of any right, title and interest in the Mortgaged Property (by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise).
2.2 Indemnitor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede any provisions in the Loan Documents which in any way limit the liability of Indemnitor, and that Indemnitor shall be personally liable for any and all obligations arising under this Agreement even if the amount of liability incurred exceeds the amount of the Loan. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of this Agreement shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and/or the release of the lien of the Mortgages from the Mortgaged Property, and shall survive the transfer of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property by Borrowers to any party. Indemnitor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, this Agreement and the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall not be secured by the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents or any other mortgage, deed of trust or other security document securing any obligations of Borrowers in connection with the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, if, (a) at any time after the third anniversary of repayment in full of the Obligations, whether at maturity, as a result of acceleration, in connection with prepayment or otherwise, or (b) with respect to any Project that is released from the lien of the applicable Security Instrument in accordance with the terms of Section 2.18 of the Loan Agreement, at any time after the third anniversary of the effective date of such release, Administrative Agent is provided with an updated Site Assessment of the related Project indicating, to Indemnitee’s reasonable satisfaction, that there are no Hazardous Materials located on, in, above or under such Project in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws, then the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall cease and terminate with respect to such Projects. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall not apply to the extent that such liabilities and obligations arose solely from Hazardous Substances that: (a) were not present on or a threat to any Project prior to the date that Administrative Agent or its nominee acquired title to such Project, or to the Pledged Interests of the Indemnitor owning such Project, whether by foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or otherwise, and (b) were not the result of any act or negligence of Indemnitor or any of Indemnitor’s affiliates, agents or contractors.

2.3 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, or any rights or remedies granted by the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties do not waive and expressly reserve all rights and benefits now or hereafter accruing to Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under the “security interest” or “secured creditor” exception under applicable Environmental Laws, as the same may be amended. No action taken by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any such rights or benefits under the “security interest exception.”
2.4 A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Administrative Agent or Secured Parties acquire knowledge of any violation of any of the terms hereof. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Indemnitor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.
2.5 Upon written request by Administrative Agent, Indemnitor shall defend Administrative Agent and Secured Parties (and if requested by Administrative Agent, in the name of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, engage its own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist it, and, at the option of Administrative Agent, its attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Indemnitor’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon demand, Indemnitor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, reimburse Administrative Agent for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.
3. Covenants of Indemnitor.
3.1 Indemnitor shall (i) comply in all respects with applicable Environmental Laws and undertake reasonable steps to the protect the Mortgaged Property from Hazardous Materials; (ii) notify Administrative Agent promptly following Indemnitor’s discovery of any spill, discharge, release or presence of any Hazardous Material at, upon, under, within or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property; (iii) promptly remove any Hazardous Materials and remediate the Mortgaged Property to the extent required by and in full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; and (iv) promptly forward to Administrative Agent copies of all orders, notices, permits, applications or other written communications and reports received by Indemnitor in connection with any spill, discharge, release or the presence of any Hazardous Material or any other matters regulated by the Environmental Laws, as they may affect the Mortgaged Property or Indemnitor.

4. Reliance. Indemnitor recognizes and acknowledges that in making the Loan and accepting the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties are expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth herein and in the Loan Documents without any obligation to investigate the Mortgaged Property and notwithstanding any investigations of the Mortgaged Property by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties; that such reliance exists on the part of Administrative Agent and Secured Parties prior hereto; that such warranties and representations are a material inducement to Secured Parties in making the Loan and accepting the Mortgages and other Loan Documents; and that Secured Parties would not be willing to make the Loan and accept the Mortgages in the absence of such warranties and representations.
