303 Second Street — Unsecured Indemnity

(c)      Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement to the extent of that portion of the costs and liabilities of any Environmental Claim that shall be attributable to an act of any Indemnitee which proximately causes (i) the introduction and initial release of a Hazardous Material at the Property, or (ii) material aggravation of a then existing Hazardous Material condition at the Property. In addition, if Indemnitee acquires ownership of the Property through a foreclosure, trustee’s sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement for that portion of costs and liabilities of an Environmental Claim which is attributable to the introduction and initial release of a Hazardous Material at the Property by any party, other than Indemnitor, at any time after Indemnitee or any purchaser has acquired title to the Property.

Indemnitor shall have the burden of proof as to any facts necessary to an limitation of liability under this paragraph (c).

5.      Notice of Actions.

6

303 Second Street — Unsecured Indemnity

any payment made by any of them, with respect to any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Environmental Claims against any Indemnitee arising out of the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement.

(b)      Counsel selected by Indemnitor pursuant to Paragraph 6 (a) shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnitee asserting a claim under this Agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any Indemnitee may elect to defend any Environmental Claim at the cost and expense of Indemnitor, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee (i) the defense is not being conducted in a satisfactory manner, or (ii) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and any other party represented by counsel selected by Indemnitor.

(c)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (i) settle or compromise any Environmental Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Indemnitee of a written release of Indemnitee (in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee in its reasonable discretion) from all liability in respect of the Environmental Claim; or (ii) settle or compromise any Environmental Claim in any manner that may materially and adversely affect Indemnitee as determined by Indemnitee in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

(d)      Indemnitee shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions in connection with the Property involving any Environmental Claim. In any circumstance in which this indemnity applies, Indemnitee may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, negotiate, or defend any claim, action, or cause of action, and Indemnitee shall have the right to compromise or settle the same in the exercise of its good faith discretion, subject to the reasonable approval of Indemnitor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitee, including the amount of all costs of settlements entered into in accordance with the foregoing, and the reasonable fees and other costs and expenses of its attorneys and consultants, including without limitation those incurred in connection with monitoring and participating in any action or proceeding. Indemnitor shall not be obligated to pay for simultaneous representation of any Indemnitee for the same claim by two sets of counsel under Paragraphs 6(b) and this Paragraph 6(d), provided that in any such case of simultaneous representation the Indemnitee shall have the right to select which counsel to terminate and which to continue.

7.      Independent Nature of Agreement.  This Agreement is an independent obligation of Indemnitor and is not intended to nor shall it secure payment of the Note or amounts due to Lender under the Deed of Trust. The obligations of Indemnitors under this Agreement are not secured by the Deed of Trust or any of the Loan Documents.

8.      Survival of Agreement.  This Agreement, and all rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall survive (i) performance and repayment of the Loan, (ii) reconveyance of the Deed of Trust, and release of other security provided in connection with the Loan, and (iii) bankruptcy sale, trustee’s sale or foreclosure under the Deed of Trust and/or any of the other

7

303 Second Street — Unsecured Indemnity

Loan Documents (whether by deed or other assignment in lieu of foreclosure), and (iv) transfer of all of Lender’s rights in the Loan, the Loan Documents, and the Property.

Sections 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable Federal or state laws.

10.      Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit Indemnitor and Indemnitee and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Any holder of the Note and any affiliate of Indemnitee which acquires all or part of the Property by any sale, assignment or foreclosure under the Deed of Trust or by deed or other assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall be a successor of this Agreement. In no event shall any Indemnitee be bound by any obligations or liabilities of any Indemnitor even if any such Indemnitee acquires ownership of all or any part of the Property.

11.      Liability of Indemnitors.  If more than one person or entity executes this Agreement as Indemnitor, then the obligations of the respective Indemnitors under this Agreement shall be the joint and several obligations of each of them. Except as otherwise provided herein, the liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall not be limited or impaired by (i) any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents to or with Lender by Indemnitor or any person who succeeds Indemnitor as owner of the Property; (ii) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents; (iii) any sale, assignment, or foreclosure of the Note or Deed of Trust or any sale or transfer of all or part of the Property; (iv) any exculpatory provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender’s recourse to property encumbered by the Deed of Trust or to any other security, or limiting Lender’s rights to a deficiency judgment against Indemnitor (including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Note and Article IX of the Deed of Trust); (v) the release of Indemnitor or any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Indemnitee’s voluntary act, or otherwise; or (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Note.

12.      Waiver.  Indemnitor waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Indemnitors or to cause Indemnitee to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against Indemnitors or to proceed against Indemnitor in any particular order. Indemnitor agrees that any payments required to be made under this Agreement shall become due on demand. Indemnitor expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors. The indemnity provided for under this Agreement shall not be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses that may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any subrogation rights, including, without limitation, any claim that the subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee. Indemnitor agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation to the rights of Indemnitee against Indemnitors under this Agreement until the Loan shall have been paid in full.

16.      Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event that any Indemnitor or any Indemnitee brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Agreement, including without limitation, in appellate proceedings or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs of investigation.

17.      Successive Actions.  Separate and successive actions may be brought under this Agreement to enforce any provision at any time and from time to time. No action under this Agreement shall preclude any subsequent action, and Indemnitor waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

18.      Partial Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unenforceable in any circumstances by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable, and the subject provision shall be enforceable to the extent permitted.

19.      Interest on Unpaid Amounts.  All amounts required to be paid or reimbursed to any Indemnitee under this Agreement shall bear interest from the date of expenditure by the Indemnitee until paid. The interest rate shall be the same as is then applicable under the Note.
