Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Section 2.2.4(a) of the Loan Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Lender shall determine the Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date, Lender shall promptly give written notice of the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the date of the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date to Borrower. The Loan shall be converted, from and after the Benchmark Replacement Date from a LIBOR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan; provided, that prior to any such conversion, Lender shall have received either (i) at Borrower’s expense, an opinion of nationally recognized REMIC counsel as to the compliance of such conversion with applicable REMIC Requirements as determined under the IRS, the regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and other administrative, legislative and judicial guidance relating to the tax treatment of REMIC Trusts or (ii) formal guidance issued by the IRS that such conversion to the Alternate Rate Index will comply with REMIC Requirements. The provisions of this Section 14 shall supersede in their entirety any conflicting provisions of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. As used in this Section 14 and in any definition set forth on Schedule III, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule III, unless not defined on Schedule III, in which case such terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Documents (as in effect prior to the date hereof). In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the definitions set forth on Schedule III and any definitions that are set forth in the Loan Documents (as in effect prior to the date hereof) for the same or any similar terms, the definitions set forth on Schedule III shall control and be binding.

As of the Effective Date, each of the Borrower Parties and its respective past, present and future employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, assigns, and all persons or entities claiming by, through or under any of them (and their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby:
(a) acknowledge, agree and affirm that none of them possesses any claims, defenses, offsets, rights of recoupment or counterclaims of any kind or nature against or with respect to the enforcement or administration of the Loan or the Loan Documents (including any aspect of the origination, administration or enforcement thereof), or any knowledge of any facts or circumstances that might give rise to or be the basis of any such claims, defenses, offsets, rights of recoupment or counterclaims;
(b) remise, release, acquit and forever discharge Lender, and its predecessors in interest, affiliates, subsidiaries, participants or assigns, and all of their respective past, present, and future shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, attorneys, advisers, consultants, servicers, representatives or agents (collectively, the “Lender Released Parties”) from any and all manner of debts, accounts, bonds, warranties, representations, covenants, promises, contracts, controversies, agreements, liabilities, obligations, expenses, damages, judgments, executions, actions, claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, that any of the Releasing Parties now have or may hereafter have by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing, from the beginning of the world to and including the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by all Parties, including matters arising out of or relating to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including the origination, funding, servicing or administration thereof and any other agreement or transaction between any of the Releasing Parties and any of the Lender Released Parties concerning the Loan (all of the foregoing released claims are sometimes referred to as the “Released Claims”);
(c) agree that it is the intention of each of the Releasing Parties that the foregoing release shall be effective with respect to all matters, past and present, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected. Each of the Releasing Parties realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and each of the Releasing Parties further agrees that the waivers and releases in this Agreement have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that each of the Releasing Parties nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the Lender Released Parties from any such unknown losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses;
Forbearance, Modification and Extension Agreement
(d) agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Lender Released Parties for, hold the Lender Released Parties harmless from and against, and undertake the defense of the Lender Released Parties with respect to, all Released Claims that each of the Releasing Parties may assert with respect to any of the Released Claims, despite the existence of the releases granted by the Releasing Parties herein;
(e) acknowledge that Lender is specifically relying upon each of the Releasing Parties’ acknowledgements and agreements in this Section in executing this Agreement, and that in the absence of such agreements Lender would be unwilling to agree to the modifications provided for in this Agreement; and
(f) agree that all releases and discharges by each of the Releasing Parties in this Agreement shall have the same effect as if each released or discharged matter had been the subject of a legal proceeding, adjudicated to final judgment from which no appeal could be taken and therein dismissed with prejudice.
20. Preference; Fraudulent Transfer; Indemnification. The extension of the term of the Loan and the other modifications contemplated herein are expressly conditioned upon Lender never having any portion of the Obligations, recovered, avoided, disgorged or set aside for any reason, including via a preference or fraudulent transfer claim or other similar statute or common law, including pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code and any such event will constitute an Event of Default. Any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in defending its rights under this Section or to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents shall automatically be added to the Obligations. In the event Lender is divested of only a portion of the Obligations, Lender shall be entitled to retain the remainder of the Obligations received by Lender and apply the retained sum to the Obligations in such amount, order and priority as determined by Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, and in no event shall the application of a portion of the retained sum prejudice any rights or claims that Lender may have to recover the remaining Obligations from Borrower, Guarantor, or otherwise collect the balance of the Loan. If, after receipt of the Obligations or any other payment from Borrower, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor for any indebtedness or obligations owed by either Borrower or Guarantor, any Lender Released Party is compelled to surrender or otherwise surrenders such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then Borrower, Guarantor and Additional Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Lender Released Parties with respect to the full amount so surrendered and any other related claims, losses, liabilities, cross-claims, defenses, counterclaims, obligations, causes of action, suits, debts, liens, damages, judgments, demands, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including legal fees incurred by any of the Lender Released Parties) of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from or related to, whether directly or indirectly, any portion of the Obligations that any of the Lender Released Parties are or were required to disgorge, relinquish or return. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not be subject to any limitations to Guarantor’s or Additional Guarantor’s liability set forth in the Guaranty and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Obligations, the cancellation of any Loan Document, the release of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance securing such Loan obligations or any other action which Lender may have taken in reliance upon the receipt of such payment.
Forbearance, Modification and Extension Agreement

This Agreement, including the provisions of this Section, may not be modified except by written amendment to this Agreement signed by the Parties affected by the same, and the Parties hereby: a) expressly agree that it shall not be reasonable for any of them to rely on any alleged, non-written amendment to this Agreement; b) waive any and all right to enforce any alleged, non-written amendment to this Agreement; and c) expressly agree that it shall be beyond the scope of authority (apparent or otherwise) for any of their respective agents to agree to any non-written modification of this Agreement.
24. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and no persons other than the Parties and the Lender Released Parties shall be entitled to claim or receive any benefit by reason of this Agreement.
25. Due Diligence Performed; Parties Fully Informed; No Right to Rely. Each of the Borrower Parties hereby warrants, represents and agrees that it has, by itself and with the assistance of counsel, performed any and all due diligence and investigation it deems necessary or desirable in connection with making a fully informed decision to enter into and sign this Agreement. Each of the Borrower Parties is relying on its own investigations and its own decision-making processes in determining to execute and deliver this Agreement, is not relying on the statements, representations or omissions of Lender in so doing, and fully understand the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
26. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall, at the sole option of Lender, remain enforceable in accordance with its original terms to the fullest extent possible.
27. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or under any document executed in connection herewith shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege and any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
Forbearance, Modification and Extension Agreement
28. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each Party’s respective successors and permitted assigns.
29. Construction of Provisions. The following rules of construction are applicable for the purposes of this Agreement and all documents and instruments supplemental hereto unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

(b) The terms “include,” “including,” and similar terms shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without being limited to” or the phrase “without limitation,” as the context may require.
(c) The term “Property” shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “or any part thereof.”
(d) All references to indebtedness, obligations, monetary sums or the like that are owed to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “or any part thereof.”

(g) All references to the Loan shall be deemed to include all existing or future modifications, amendments, extensions, restatements, or replacements of the Loan made by mutual written agreement of the Parties.
(h) The terms “person” and “party” shall mean any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, institution, entity or government (whether federal, state, county, city, municipal or otherwise, including an instrumentality, division, agency, body or department thereof).
(i) The term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.
30. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document, binding upon all the Parties notwithstanding that all such Parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when all Parties have executed a counterpart hereof. A signature of a party by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to constitute an original and fully effective signature of such party.
Forbearance, Modification and Extension Agreement

Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall: (i) on the Effective Date of this Agreement pay or reimburse Lender for all fees and expenses of Lender and its loan servicer (including any and all costs and expenses, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title and recording fees and servicing advances) incurred by Lender and its loan servicer in connection with the Loan or any request for an extension of the term of the Loan and any and all related documentation and opinions required regardless of whether Borrower obtains an extension of the term of the Loan, and (ii) after the Effective Date of this Agreement pay or reimburse Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand, all fees and costs and expenses of Lender and its loan servicers, attorneys, advisors and consultants in connection with this Agreement and the administration, servicing and enforcement of the Loan.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES 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 THE BORROWER PARTIES, 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 THE BORROWER PARTIES.
