RECITALS:

A. American Family has agreed to lend Borrower the sum of Three Million Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,300,000.00) (the “Loan”), pursuant to the Promissory Note of even date herewith (Note), which Loan is secured by, among other things, a Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement of even date herewith from Borrower to American Family (“Security Deed”) on the real estate described in Exhibit A attached hereto, and the improvements constructed thereon and thereto (the “Premises”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

B. It is a condition of American Family’s advancing funds to Borrower pursuant to the Note that this Indemnity be executed and delivered to American Family by Indemnitors.

NOW THEREFORE,

IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOREGOING AND OTHER VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, Indemnitors agree as follows:

1. Indemnitors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold American Family harmless from and against, and shall reimburse American Family for, any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages (including compensatory, consequential and punitive), injunctive relief, injuries to person or property, costs, expenses, actions or causes of action, occurring or arising from or in connection with any violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., all amendments thereto and reauthorizations thereof (“ADA”), and all regulations, orders, rules, policies, and rules of common law promulgated or arising in connection therewith (collectively “Disabilities Regulations”), arising from or relating to the Premises while the Premises are owned or controlled by any of the Indemnitors, other than those arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of American Family or a state of facts, in each case, that first occurs or comes into existence after the date that the holder of the Security Deed or a receiver takes possession of the Premises or acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.


a. The foregoing Indemnity includes, without limitation, all costs (in law or in equity) of remediation of any kind; all investigatory costs and all costs incurred in order to comply with, or remedy any violation of, the ADA or Disabilities Regulations; all costs associated with claims for damages to persons or property; all fines; and American Family’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs, consultants’ fees and court costs arising from or relating to the Premises.

b. Under no circumstances shall American Family be required or obligated to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise to mitigate its losses in order to maintain a claim against Indemnitors. Indemnitors agree that the failure to pursue such recovery or to mitigate any loss will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable by American Family from Indemnitors.

c. Indemnitors, on behalf of themselves and their respective successors and assigns, waive and release American Family from any and all claims of any kind or character arising under or pursuant to the ADA or Disabilities Regulations with respect to the Premises, other than those arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of American Family or a state of facts, in each case, that first occurs or comes into existence after the date that the holder of the Security Deed or a receiver takes possession of the Premises or acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

d. Indemnitors shall defend any claim or action subject to this Indemnity using counsel reasonably acceptable to American Family. If Indemnitors’ defense is not reasonably acceptable to American Family, American Family may elect, at is sole option, to defend, at Indemnitors’ sole cost, expense and risk, and using counsel selected by American Family and reasonably acceptable to Indemnitors, any claim or action asserted by any third party which is subject to this Indemnity, by sending prompt written notice of such election to Indemnitors.

2. The obligations of Indemnitors under this Indemnity shall terminate upon satisfaction of the Loan; provided, however, such obligations shall be independent of the obligations of Borrower to American Family in connection with the Loan. The rights of American Family under this Indemnity shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of American Family under any Loan Document, at law or in equity. Except as set forth in Paragraph 7, below, American Family shall have full recourse to the assets of Indemnitors for payment of the obligations of Indemnitors under this Indemnity.

3. Any amount properly claimed hereunder by American Family not paid by Indemnitors within thirty (30) days after written demand from American Family shall bear interest from the postmarked date of such demand at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

4. This Indemnity shall inure to the benefit of American Family, American Family’s successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon Indemnitors, their respective executors, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.
