WHEREAS, all of Original Lender's right, title and interest in and to the Loan and the Loan Documents has been assigned to Lender; and

(e)

There are no existing or closed underground storage tanks or other underground storage receptacles for Hazardous Substances on the Property;

(f)

Indemnitors have received no notice of, and to Indemnitors' actual knowledge and belief, there exists no investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for such a claim; and

3.       Covenants of Indemnitors.

(a)

Indemnitors shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all tenants (except those substances maintained by residential tenants and in compliance with all Environmental Laws) of space in the improvements, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, shall not install in the improvements or permit to be installed in the improvements asbestos or any substance containing asbestos. Indemnitors acknowledge their responsibility to be aware of, and fully versed in, all Environmental Laws in effect during the term of the Loan. Indemnitors further acknowledge and agree that Lender has no duty to provide Indemnitors with any information regarding the Environmental Laws or any interpretation thereof.

(b)

Indemnitors shall immediately notify Lender should Indemnitors, or either of them, become aware of (i) any Hazardous Substances, or other potential environmental problem or liability, with respect to the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice affecting the Property or Assumptor resulting from any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Assumptor or the Property pursuant to any Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery. Indemnitors shall, promptly and when and as required and regardless of the source of the contamination, at their own expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or advisable for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to Lender), and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, Lender may cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 4(c) hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, Indemnitors hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any items deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to bring the Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.


(c) Upon the request of Lender, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of a default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on or around the Property or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall provide, at Indemnitors' sole expense, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist


3

~Doc# 137204.3-


or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or an inspection or audit of the improvements located on the Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos on the Property. If Indemnitors fail to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Indemnitors hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 4(c) hereof.


4.       Indemnification Procedures.

(a)

If any action shall be brought against Lender based upon any of the matters for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the negotiation of any settlement; provided, however, that any failure of Lender to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at the expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend Lender against any claim, loss or liability for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender may, at its sole option and election, defend or settle such claim, loss or liability. The liability of Indemnitors to Lender hereunder shall be conclusively established by such settlement, provided such settlement is made in good faith, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs and expenses, including, without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender in effecting such settlement. In such event, such settlement consideration, costs and expenses shall be included in Costs and Indemnitors shall pay the same as hereinafter provided. Lender's good faith in any such settlement shall be conclusively established if the settlement is made on the advice of independent legal counsel for Lender.

(b)

Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender: (i) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a full and complete written release of Lender (in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion) from all liability in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and a dismissal with prejudice of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (ii) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim in any manner that may adversely affect Lender or obligate Lender to pay any sum or perform any obligation as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

(c)

All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to Lender when and as incurred and, in the event of any litigation, claim or other proceedings, without any requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such litigation, claim or other proceedings, and Indemnitors shall pay to Lender any and all Costs within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender itemizing the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any other remedy available for the failure of Indemnitors to periodically pay such Costs, such Costs, if not paid within said ten-day period, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) and such costs and interest shall be additional indebtedness of Assumptor secured by the Security Instrument and by the other Loan Documents securing all or part of the Loan.

5.

Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Indemnitors or received by Lender from Indemnitors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Indemnitor), then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Indemnitors, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of


4

~Doc# 137204.3-


Indemnitors hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Indemnitors had never been made.

6.

Waivers by Indemnitors. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of:

(a)

Any right to require Lender to proceed against any other person or to proceed
against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender's
power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder;


(b) The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder;

(c)

Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons;

(d)

Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Lender, any endorser or creditor of either Indemnitor or any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;

(e)

Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;

(f)

Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of either

Indemnitor;

(g)

Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(h)

Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Indemnitors any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder;

(i)

Any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for

the Loan;

(m) Any change in the composition of Assumptor, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Assumptor;


5

~Doc# 137204.3-


(n) The inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitors herein or by Assumptor in any of the Loan Documents;

(o) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Assumptor) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Principal or the collateral for the Loan;

(p) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Assumptor relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; and

(q) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Paragraph 7(h) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise.


7.       General Provisions.

(a)

Fully Recourse. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability.

(b)

Unsecured Obligations. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender's appraisal of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences of the inclusion of Indemnitors' indemnity set forth herein among the obligations secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and that Lender would not consent to the sale of the Property to, and the assumption of the Loan by, Assumptor but for the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Indemnitors herein. Indemnitors further hereby acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Assumptor set forth in the Security Instrument and secured thereby, the obligations of Indemnitors under this Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Security Instrument or the security interests or other collateral described in the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.

(c)

Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the payment of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Indemnitor with respect to any Costs arising out of the presence of Hazardous Substances on or around the Property to the extent that such Hazardous Substances were not present on or around the Property as of the payment or satisfaction of the Loan.

(d)

No Subrogation; No Recourse Against Lender. Notwithstanding the satisfaction by Principal of any liability hereunder, Principal shall not have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever or any right of recourse to or with respect to the assets or property of Assumptor or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Principal expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to Lender against Assumptor, and Principal hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Assumptor and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Principal hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Assumptor now or hereafter owed to Principal to all indebtedness of Assumptor to Lender, and agrees with Lender that Principal shall not demand or accept any payment of


6

~Doc# 137204.3-


principal or interest from Assumptor, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Principal's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral from the Loan. Further, neither Indemnitor shall have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

(e)

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 Lender may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved.

(f)

Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees, as a material inducement to Lender to consent to the sale of the Property to, and the assumption of the Loan by, Assumptor, to furnish to Lender promptly upon demand by Lender current and dated financial statements certified by or on behalf of each Indemnitor, detailing the assets and liabilities of said Indemnitor, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. Each Indemnitor hereby warrants and represents unto Lender that any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data which have heretofore been given or may hereafter be given to Lender with respect to said Indemnitor did or will at the time of such delivery fairly and accurately present the financial condition of said Indemnitor.

(g)

Rights Cumulative; Payments. Lender's rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Further, payments made by Indemnitors under this Agreement shall not reduce in any respect Assumptor's obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents.

(h)

No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that Lender may at any time and from time to time without further consent from Indemnitors do any of the following events, and the liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by any of the following events, whether occurring with or without notice to Indemnitors or with or without consideration: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property; (iii) any change in the composition of Assumptor, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Assumptor; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitors herein or by Assumptor in any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Assumptor or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vii) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any Hen or security interest given as security for the Loan; (viii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course or dealing with Assumptor or any other person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitors' obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against Lender. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.

(i) Entire Agreement: Amendment: Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes (except as to the Security Instrument) all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties respecting such matters. Any amendments or modifications hereto, in order to be effective, shall be in writing and executed


7

~Doc# 137204.3-


by the parties hereto. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.


(j) Governing Law; Binding Effect: Waiver of Acceptance. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, except to the extent that the applicability of any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall so govern and be controlling. This Agreement shall bind each Indemnitor and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each Indemnitor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and the officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees of Lender and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall not assign any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Each Indemnitor hereby waives any acceptance of this Agreement by Lender, and this Agreement shall immediately be binding upon Indemnitors.

(k) Notice. All notices, demands, requests or other communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required by law shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly given or served by delivery of the same in person to the intended addressee, or by depositing the same with Federal Express or another reputable private courier service for next business day delivery to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided, or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided. All notices, demands and requests shall be effective upon such personal delivery, or one (1) business day after being deposited with the private courier service, or two (2) business days after being deposited in the United States mail as required above. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the parties hereto shall have the right from time to time to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

(1) No Waiver: Time of Essence; Business Days. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. This Agreement is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance. Time is of the essence hereof. The term "business day" as used herein shall mean a weekday, Monday through Friday, except a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State in which the Property is located are authorized by law to be closed.

(m) Captions for Convenience. The captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed in interpreting the provisions hereof.

(n) Attorneys' Fees. In the event it is necessary for Lender to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion thereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Lender as a result thereof and such costs, fees and expenses shall be included in Costs.

(o) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Lender acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified by Indemnitors under this Agreement. Separate and


8

~Doc# 137204.3-


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 Indemnitors hereby waive and covenant not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

(p) Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Indemnitors herein, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder, are joint and several.

(q) Reliance. Lender would not consent to the sale of the Property to, or the assumption of the Loan by, Assumptor without this Agreement. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into the covenants and agreements as set forth above and understand that, in reliance upon and in consideration of such covenants and agreements, such consent shall be granted and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations have been, are being and shall be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for such reliance.


(r) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.
