NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY (OR INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES, AS THE CASE MAY BE) (HEREINAFTER A “RESPONSIBLE INDEMNIFIED PARTY”),
THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT EXTEND TO ANY SUCH RESPONSIBLE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, BUT
SHALL EXTEND TO ALL OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.
(c) Upon
Lender’s request, and subject to the rights of Tenant under the Lease and the
SNDA, at any time an Event of Default exists or at such other time as Lender or
Borrower may, under Section 9(c) of the Lease, cause an environmental audit or
inspection to be performed, Borrower must provide, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, an inspection or audit of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a
hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant
approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on
the Mortgaged Property or an inspection or audit of the Improvements prepared by
an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or
absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos on the Mortgaged
Property. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty
(30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby
grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Mortgaged Property
and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit, subject to the
rights of Tenant under the Lease and the SNDA. Borrower will pay immediately on

thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid
by Borrower, and such costs will be secured by the Indenture and by the other
Security Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

limiting the foregoing, and subject to Tenant’s rights under the Lease, where
recommended by a “Phase I”
or “Phase II”
assessment or otherwise required by Lender, Borrower will establish and
will comply with an operations and maintenance program relative to the Mortgaged
Property, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, prepared by an
environmental consultant acceptable to Lender, which program will address any
Hazardous Substances (including asbestos containing material or lead based
paint) that may now or in the future be detected on the Mortgaged Property.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require,
subject to Tenant’s rights under the Lease and the SNDA, (i) periodic notices or
reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may
specify; (ii) an amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address
changing circumstances, laws or other matters; (iii) following any Event of
Default or at such time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that
Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on or
around the Mortgaged Property or that the Mortgaged Property may violate the
Environmental Laws, at Borrower’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the
Mortgaged Property by consultants specified by Lender; (iv) access to the
Mortgaged Property, by Lender, its agents or servicer, to review and assess the
environmental condition of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower’s compliance with
any operations and maintenance program; and (v) variation of the operations and
maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such

Beneficial Interest.
Section
5.07 No Release of
Liability. Except as provided in this Section 5.07 and in the applicable
Certificate of Compliance and Release executed and delivered by Lender in
connection with a Transfer, no Transfer, whether or not a Permitted Transfer,
will relieve from liability the Beneficial Owner or any other Person or Persons
who has provided any guaranty or indemnity or otherwise become liable for any of
the obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Loan Agreement or the Security
Documents (such Person a “Current Indemnitor” and such
liabilities arising or accruing before the Transfer, “Indemnity Obligations”). If

Transfer, Current Indemnitor is no longer be an Affiliate of Borrower, Current
Indemnitor may offer a new indemnitor (“New Indemnitor”), as a
substitute, to assume any Indemnity,
Obligations of the Current Indemnitor arising after the date of the Transfer.
Lender may, in its, reasonable discretion, approve or disapprove such
substitution. If Lender approves any such substitution, the approval will become
effective upon the execution and delivery by New Indemnitor, without any cost or
expense to Lender, of a guaranty substantially the same as the Guaranty
Agreement executed by Beneficial Owner in connection with the Loan evidencing
each New Indemnitor’s agreement to be liable for the Indemnity Obligations (each
a “New Indemnity Agreement”), arising from and
after the date of the Transfer, whereupon Lender will release the Current
Indemnitor from its Indemnity Obligations arising after the date of such
Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Current Indemnitor will be released
from its Indemnity Obligations under the Loan upon a Permitted Transfer if the
New Indemnitor enters into a New Indemnity Agreement.

Defaults. If an Event of Default exists, Lender and/or Servicer may
(themselves or by their agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects,

necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Mortgaged Property or the
priority of the Lien granted by the Indenture, or to foreclose the Indenture or
collect the Debt, including the right to make Protective Advances. All
Protective Advances will be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender or
Servicer therefor and will bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period
after notice from Lender and/or Servicer that such cost or expense was incurred
to the date of payment in full of such Protective Advances to Lender and/or
Servicer.
Section
9.04 Prepayment After Event of
Default. If an Event of Default exists, and Borrower tenders payment of
an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt at any time before a sale of the
Mortgaged Property either through foreclosure or the exercise of other remedies
available to Lender under this Loan Agreement and the Security Documents, such
tender by Borrower, will be
deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under the Note and this Loan Agreement, in
the amount tendered. Borrower must, in addition to the outstanding principal
balance of the Note, also pay to Lender a sum equal to (a) interest accrued and
unpaid on the principal balance of the Note to the date of such tender; (b) and
if the Event of Default exists because of an event of default under Section
20(a)(i) of the Lease only, an amount equal to the Prepayment Consideration
calculated from the date of such tender; and (c) all other amounts due under the
Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration
represents the reasonable estimate by Borrower and Lender of the fair
compensation for the loss that Lender may sustain due to the payment of the Note
before the due date thereof and is not a penalty. Subject to Section 12.20, such
Prepayment Consideration will be paid without prejudice to Lender’s right to
collect any other amounts Borrower is required to pay under the Loan
Documents.
Section
9.05 Right of Entry.

agents may at any time during normal business hours enter and inspect the

Proceedings. Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding
brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and may bring any action or
proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its sole
discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged
Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage
or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any
such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of
the Debt.
Section
9.08 Waiver of
Counterclaim. All amounts due under the Loan Documents are payable
without setoff, counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever. Borrower waives the
right to assert a setoff, counterclaim (other than a mandatory or compulsory
counterclaim) or deduction in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender.
Section
9.09 Recovery of Sums Required to
Be Paid. Lender may from time to time take action to recover any sum or
sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard
to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to
the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced.

Lender elect to accept Tenant’s Rejectable Offer of the Article 12 Purchase

Borrower as if Borrower had joined in such acceptance. If Borrower desires to
reject the Rejectable Offer of the Article 12 Purchase Price, then within

acknowledges that Lender may (i) sell, transfer or assign this Loan Agreement,

grant participation interests in the Loan to one or more investors in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement; (iii) deposit this Loan Agreement,

to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the trust assets in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement; or (iv) otherwise sell the Loan or
interests therein to investors in a rated or unrated public offering or private
placement (the transactions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) are
hereinafter referred to as “Secondary Market Transactions”).
Borrower shall cooperate in good faith with Lender (but shall not be
obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expense) to effect any such Secondary
Market Transaction and to implement all requirements imposed by any NRSRO
involved in any Secondary Market Transaction, including:
(i) making
available to Lender all readily available information concerning Borrower’s
business and operations which Lender may reasonably request, including financial
information relating to the Mortgaged Property and such other information and
documents relating to Borrower, Tenant, the Lease or any Mortgaged Property as
Lender may reasonably request;
(ii) at
Lender’s cost and expense and subject to the rights of Tenant, performing or
permitting or causing to be performed or permitted such site inspections,
appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if

reports and other due diligence investigations of any Mortgaged Property, as
Lender may request or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the

Section 12.13 hereof.

custody, or control or which Borrower may obtain without unreasonable effort

information in its possession, including, financial statements relating to
Borrower, the Mortgaged Property and Tenant, and Lender may share such
information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting
firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan or
the Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided

material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the Lease, the Loan or
Borrower. Further, if any Secondary Market Transaction includes the preparation
of such memorandum, offering circular or prospectus which requires disclosure
about the Mortgaged Property, the Lease or the Loan, BORROWER, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY INDEMNIFIES THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST
ANY INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES TO WHICH THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES MAY BECOME SUBJECT
(INCLUDING ANY LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED BY THEM) IN

indemnification only to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is based
upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower.

Indemnified Liability arising out of or based upon an untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any statement, report or document provided to Lender
on behalf of Borrower by a party who is not an Affiliate of Borrower (a “Third Party Report”) or arising out of or
based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, unless Borrower has

omission. This indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which

Section
12.19 Estoppel Certificates
(a) After request by Lender, Borrower will within ten (10) days furnish Lender
with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the
original principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the
Note, (iii) the rate of interest of the Note, (iv) the date installments of
interest and/or principal were, last paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the
payment of the Debt, if any, (vi) that the Loan Documents are valid, legal and
binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified,, giving
particulars of such modification, and (vii) such other matters as Lender shall
reasonably request.
(b) After
request by Borrower, Lender will within ten (10) days furnish Borrower with a
statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original
principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, and
(iii) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last
paid.
Section
12.20 Usury Laws. It is
expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all
times to comply with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or
amount of interest payable on the Note or the Debt evidenced by the Note and by
the other Loan Documents (or, to the extent it would permit a greater rate or
amount of interest on the Note or the Debt evidenced by the Note and by the
other Loan Documents, applicable United States federal law) to the end that
neither Borrower nor Lender shall have contracted for, and Lender shall not
charge, take, reserve or receive, and Borrower shall not pay, a greater amount
of interest than under Texas law or applicable United State federal law. If (i)
the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt,
or (ii) Lender’s exercise of any remedy hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, including the option herein contained to accelerate the maturity of
the Note, or any prepayment by Borrower, results in Lender having charged,
taken, reserved or received, and Borrower having paid, any interest in excess of
that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express
intent that (A) all amounts theretofore collected by Lender in excess of the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law be credited on the
principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note has been or would thereby be paid
in full, refunded to Borrower), and (B) the provisions of the Note and the other
Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
payable, chargeable or collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for hereunder and thereunder which does not exceed the maximum amount of
interest allowed by applicable law. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender
for the use, forbearance and detention of the Debt evidenced by the Note and by
the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Debt
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such
Debt does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and
applicable to such Debt for so long as debt is outstanding. To the extent that
Lender is relying on Chapter 303, as amended, of the Texas Finance Code to
determine the Maximum Lawful Rate (hereafter defined) payable on such Debt,
Lender will utilize the weekly rate ceiling from time to time in effect as
provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal
law permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of
interest than Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead
of such Chapter 303, as amended, for the purpose of determining the Maximum
