Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of such Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, providing that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Indemnitor’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon demand, Indemnitor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith; provided, however, that Indemnitor shall not be liable for, and shall not have to pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties for, the fees and expenses of more than one (1) general counsel, and one (1) separate local counsel for the state in which the Property is located.
3. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not specifically defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
The term “Legal Action” means any claim, suit or proceeding, whether administrative or judicial in nature.
The term “Losses” means any actual out-of-pocket losses, damages (excluding in all events any consequential, exemplary, punitive, indirect and special damages), costs, fees, expenses, claims, suits, judgments, awards, liabilities (including strict liabilities), obligations, debts, fines, penalties, charges, costs of Remediation (whether or not performed voluntarily), amounts paid in settlement, litigation costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, engineers’ fees, environmental consultants’ fees, and investigation costs (including costs for sampling, testing and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials, and other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas), whether or not incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative proceedings, actions, claims, suits, judgments or awards but in no event shall “Losses” include any sums incurred as a result of the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Indemnitee or its agents.
4. Unimpaired Liability. The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to or with Indemnitee by Indemnitor or any Person who succeeds Indemnitor or any Person as owner of the Property. In addition, the liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) any sale or transfer of all or part of the Property, except as expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, (iii) except as provided herein, any exculpatory provision in the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents limiting Indemnitee’s recourse to the Property or to any other security for the Note, or limiting Indemnitee’s rights to a deficiency judgment against Indemnitor, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitor under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or herein, (v) the release of Indemnitor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the other Loan Documents by operation of law, Indemnitee’s voluntary act, or otherwise, (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan, or (vii) Indemnitee’s failure to record the Security Instrument or file any UCC financing statements (or Indemnitee’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Loan; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Indemnitor and with or without consideration.

5. Enforcement. The Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of Indemnitor without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first having recourse to the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Documents or any of the Property, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided, however, that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Indemnitee from suing on the Note, foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under, the Security Instrument, or exercising any other rights and remedies thereunder. This Agreement is not collateral or security for the Debt, unless Indemnitee expressly elects in writing to make this Agreement additional collateral or security for the Debt, which Indemnitee is entitled to do in its discretion. It is not necessary for an Event of Default to have occurred for the Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Agreement, the obligations pursuant to this Agreement are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provision of the Loan Agreement; Indemnitor is fully and personally liable for such obligations, and such liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal balance of the Loan or the value of the Property.
6. Survival. The indemnity obligations and liabilities of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall not apply to the extent that any such liability or obligation has been adjudicated as final (and is not subject to appeal) to have arisen from, or that Indemnitor can prove arose solely from, Hazardous Substances that: (a) were not present on the Property prior to the date (the “Foreclosure Date”) that Indemnitee or its nominee acquired title to the Property, whether by foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or otherwise (including a deed in lieu that has been accepted by Indemnitee or its nominee) and (b) were not the result of any act or negligence of Indemnitor or any of Indemnitor’s affiliates, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the continuing liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall terminate (other than with respect to any outstanding unfulfilled obligations or claims that have been made pursuant thereto) on the date which is one (1) year after, as applicable, the Foreclosure Date or the date on which the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents have been paid in full (the “Satisfaction Date”), provided that such termination shall be further conditioned upon Lender’s receipt and reasonable approval of an updated Phase I environmental assessment report (and a follow up Phase II environmental assessment report if required by the Phase I), which report shall be dated, or last updated, to a date which is not earlier than the Satisfaction Date, showing no recognized environmental conditions or other materially adverse environmental conditions that were not disclosed in the Environmental Report.

7. Interest. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable on demand and, if not paid within thirty (30) days of such demand therefor, shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the maximum interest rate which Indemnitor may by law pay or the Indemnified Parties may charge and collect, from the date payment was due, provided that the foregoing shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10 of the Note.
8. Waivers. (a) Indemnitor hereby waives (i) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Indemnitor’s assets or to cause Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against Indemnitor; (ii) and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iii) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iv) notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (v) presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or other proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Indemnitor hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any collateral securing the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.
(b) Indemnitor and Indemnitee hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, relating to this Agreement or any acts or omissions of any Indemnified Parties in connection therewith.
9. Subrogation. Indemnitor shall take any and all reasonable actions, including institution of Legal Action against third parties, necessary or appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such Person responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Substances at, in, on, under or migrating onto the Property or otherwise obligated by law to bear the cost. The Indemnified Parties shall be and hereby are subrogated to all of Indemnitor’s rights now or hereafter in such claims.
10. Indemnitor’s Representations and Warranties. Indemnitor represents and warrants that:

8 |
24.2 California Law Provisions. The following provisions shall apply to this Agreement to the extent that California law is deemed to govern this Agreement:
(a) Without limiting the generality, scope or meaning of any of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement:
(1) Indemnitor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so Indemnitor shall be liable even if Borrower had no liability at the time of execution of the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or thereafter ceases to be liable. Indemnitor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so Indemnitor’s liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of Borrower. Indemnitor waives all rights to require Lender to pursue any other remedy it may have against Borrower, or any member of Borrower, including any and all benefits under California Civil Code Section 2845, 2849 and 2850. Indemnitor further waives any rights, defenses and benefits that may be derived from Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction and further waives all other suretyship defenses Indemnitor would otherwise have under the laws of California or any other jurisdiction.
(2) Upon a default by Borrower, Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Indemnitor, may elect to (A) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Loan, (B) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (C) compromise or adjust the Loan or any part of it or make any other accommodation with Borrower or (D) exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit the liability of Indemnitor, who shall remain liable under this Agreement after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Indemnitor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Indemnitor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Lender or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Loan.
(3) Regardless of whether Indemnitor may have made any payments to Lender, Indemnitor hereby waives (A) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other party for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (B) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against Borrower and (C) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Lender for the Loan. The waivers given in this subsection (3) shall be effective until the Loan has been paid and performed in full.
9 |
(4) Indemnitor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guarantied obligation, has destroyed Indemnitor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Indemnitor further waives any right to a fair value hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or any other similar law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which Indemnitor would be liable hereunder) following a non-judicial foreclosure sale.
(5) Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, Indemnitor waives all rights and defenses that Indemnitor may have because the Loan is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(a) that Lender may collect from Indemnitor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower; and
(b) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower: (x) the amount of the Loan may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (y) Lender may collect from Indemnitor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Indemnitor may have to collect from Borrower. This subsection (5) is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Indemnitor may have because the Loan is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(6) Indemnitor waives all rights and defenses arising out of any failure of the Lender to disclose to the Indemnitor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of Borrower now or in the future known to the Lender (Indemnitor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender to disclose such information).
(7) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits under California Civil Code sections 2815, 2819, 2822, 2839, 2846, 2847, 2899 and 3433, California Code of Civil Procedures sections 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d and 726, and Chapter 2 of Title 14 of the California Civil Code.
10 |
(b) Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INDEMNITOR HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY INDEMNITOR, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEMNITOR.

(b) Express Negligence. It is the express intention of each Indemnitor and each Indemnitor hereby agrees that the indemnities set forth in this Agreement will apply to and fully protect each indemnified party even though any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, causes of action, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) then the subject of indemnification may have been caused by, arise out of, or are otherwise attributable to, directly or indirectly, the negligence (excluding gross negligence) in whole or in part of such indemnified party and/or any other party.
