2.                                       Environmental Indemnification by the Indemnitors.

(a)           Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent), indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for, any and all Claims.

(b)           Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitors to represent it in any action or proceeding to which this Indemnity is applicable if and to the extent that the Indemnified Parties determine in good faith that their rights and interests may be compromised or not fully and adequately represented by legal counsel acting for the Indemnitors, whether on account of any potential defenses that an Indemnitor may have to its obligations under this Indemnity or otherwise, and in

3

such event the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s independent counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitors.

(c)           Subject to the last sentence of Section 1(a) above, each Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder shall not be diminished or affected in any respect as a result of any notice or disclosure, if any, to, or other knowledge, if any, by, any Indemnified Party of any Release or threatened Release, or as a result of any other matter related to the Indemnitors’ obligations hereunder, nor shall any Indemnified Party be deemed to have permitted or acquiesced in any Release or any breach of an Indemnitor’s other obligations hereunder, solely because any Indemnified Party had notice, disclosure or knowledge thereof, whether at the time this Indemnity is delivered or at any time thereafter.

(d)           This Indemnity shall not be limited by any representation, warranty or indemnity of the Indemnitors made herein or in connection with any indebtedness secured by the Deeds of Trust, irrespective of whether any Indemnitor has knowledge as of the date of each Deed of Trust, or during the term of each Deed of Trust, of the matters to which such representation, warranty or indemnity relates.

3.             Environmental Covenants.

(a)           Phase II Mall Subsidiary, Phase II Mall Subsidiary Holding and LCR (each a “Phase II Entity” and, collectively, the “Phase II Entities”) shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any tenants or other occupants of the Property to, at any time in the future, cause or permit a Release, except in compliance with applicable Hazardous Substances Laws and good and customary practices.

(b)           The Phase II Entities shall give prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of any pending Claims, or of any Proceedings (as such term is defined in the Construction Loan Agreement) arising pursuant to Hazardous Substances Laws.

(c)           The Phase II Entities shall give prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of the Phase II Entities’ discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Substances Laws including, without limitation, any Phase II Entity’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on the Property or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as a hazardous waste property or border-zone property, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Substances Laws.

(d)           In the event that any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration, precautionary actions or other remedial work of any kind or nature (hereinafter, “Remedial Work”) is required under any applicable Hazardous Substances Laws as a result of, or in connection with, any Release, suspected Release, or threatened Release, the Phase II Entities shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of information that such Remedial Work is or may be required (or such shorter period of time as may be required under applicable

4

law, regulation, order or agreement), commence the performance of, or cause to be commenced, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion, the performance of all such Remedial Work in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Substances Laws.  All Remedial Work shall be performed by one or more contractors, approved in advance in writing by the Administrative Agent, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved in advance in writing by the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by the Indemnitors, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s) and/or the consulting engineer, and the Indemnified Parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including, without limitation, fees and costs of both outside and staff counsel incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.  In the event the Phase II Entities shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, the performance of such Remedial Work, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall be deemed Claims hereunder.

4.             Liability.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indemnity or any of the Loan Documents, any liability of any Indemnitor hereunder shall be its personal liability (but such personal liability shall not be deemed to incorporate personal liability of its directors, officers, employees or agents), and may be asserted against its interest in the Property as well as against any and all of its other assets.

(b)           Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations of the Indemnitors hereunder shall survive the following events, to the maximum extent permitted by law:  (i) repayment of the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Construction Loan Agreement) and any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure under any Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of such foreclosure, notwithstanding that all or any portion of any other obligations secured by such Deed of Trust shall have been discharged thereby, (ii) any election by any Indemnified Party to purchase all or any portion of the Property at a foreclosure sale by crediting all or any portion of the obligations secured by any Deed of Trust against the purchase price therefor (except to the extent and only to the extent that such Indemnified Party has specifically elected in writing in its sole discretion to credit against the purchase price any Claims hereunder which were liquidated in amount at the time of such foreclosure sale, it being presumed for these purposes that the obligations secured by such Deed of Trust shall be discharged by any such crediting in the order set forth in such Deed of Trust), (iii) any release or reconveyance of any Deed of Trust, any waiver of the lien of any Deed of Trust, or any release or waiver of any other security for the Obligations, and (iv) any termination, cancellation or modification of any Loan Document.  Upon and following the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the obligations of the Indemnitors hereunder shall be unsecured obligations, and shall be enforceable against the Indemnitors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(c)           The obligations of the Indemnitors hereunder are not intended to be the obligations of a surety or guarantor.  The liability of the Indemnitors under this Indemnity shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document; (ii) the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made

5

by the Indemnitors in any of any Loan Documents; or (iii) the release of any 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 or otherwise.

(d)           The rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties under this Indemnity (i) shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of such Indemnified Parties under any Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and (ii) may be enforced by any of the Indemnified Parties, to the maximum extent permitted by law, without regard to or affecting any rights and remedies that such Indemnified Party may have under any Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and without regard to any limitations on such Indemnified Party’s recourse for recovery of the Obligations as may be provided in any Loan Documents.

5.             Site Visits, Observation and Testing.  The Administrative Agent and any of the other Indemnified Parties and their respective agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time, and upon reasonable prior notice, but subject to the rights of tenants under their leases, to enter and visit the Property to make such inspections and inquiries as they shall deem appropriate, including inspections for violations of any of the terms of this Indemnity and for determining the existence, nature and magnitude of any past or present Release or threatened Release, and they shall also have the right, following any Event of Default (as defined in the Construction Loan Agreement), or where the Administrative Agent has a reasonable basis upon which to believe that the Property may be harmed, unsafe or contaminated, and upon reasonable prior notice, to enter and visit the Property to make such tests (including, without limitation, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples) as they shall deem appropriate.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Indemnified Parties have any duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party shall impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or such other Indemnified Party.  In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party be a representation that Hazardous Substances are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Hazardous Substances Laws or any other applicable governmental law.  Neither the Indemnitors nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Indemnified Parties owe any duty of care to protect the Indemnitors or any other party against, or to inform the Indemnitors or any other party of, any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Property.  The Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnitors reasonable notice before entering the Property, and shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the Indemnitors’ use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this paragraph 5.  The Administrative Agent’s rights under this Indemnity are for the purpose of protecting and preserving the value of its collateral, and neither the Administrative Agent or any Indemnified Party shall be considered an operator of the Property by virtue of exercising its rights hereunder.

6.             Interest Accrued.  Any amount owed hereunder to an Indemnified Party not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand from such Indemnified Party with an explanation of the amounts claimed shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the maximum interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement.

6

7.             Subrogation of Indemnity Rights.  If the Indemnitors fail to fully perform their obligations hereunder, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any rights or claims that the Indemnitors may have against any present, future or former owners, tenants or other occupants or users of the Property, any portion thereof or any adjacent or proximate properties, relating to any Claim or the performance of Remedial Work, and the Indemnitors hereby assign all of such rights and claims to the Indemnified Parties under such circumstances and shall take all actions required by the Indemnified Parties to cooperate with such Indemnified Parties in enforcing such rights and claims under such circumstances.

8.             Reliance.  Each Indemnitor acknowledges that it is making and giving the indemnities and representations and covenants contained in this Indemnity with the knowledge that the Agents and Lenders are relying on such indemnities and representations and covenants in making the Obligations to the Indemnitors.

9.             Successors and Assigns.  This Indemnity shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnified Party’s successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the heirs, successors, and assigns of each Indemnitor.  The Indemnitors shall not assign any rights or obligations under this Indemnity without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indemnity to the contrary, the Indemnitors shall not be released from their obligations hereunder without obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a consent to the transfer of the Property which transfer would be otherwise prohibited by any Loan Document.

10.           Miscellaneous.  This  Indemnity shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.  If this Indemnity is executed by more than one person or entity, the liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be joint and several.  Separate and 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 each Indemnitor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.  In no event shall any provision of this Indemnity be deemed to be a waiver of or to be in lieu of any right or claim, including, without limitation, any right of contribution or other right of recovery, that any party to this Indemnity might otherwise have against any other party to this Indemnity under any Hazardous Substances Laws.  If any term of this Indemnity or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Indemnity and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.  No delay or omission in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.

11.           Notices.  All notices expressly provided hereunder to be given by Administrative Agent to the Indemnitors and all notices and demands of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Indemnitors may be required or may desire to give to or serve on the Administrative Agent shall be in writing and shall be served by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable commercial overnight carrier that provides a receipt, such as Federal Express.  Notice shall be addressed as follows:

12.           Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.  If any Agent or Lender refers this Indemnity or any of the other Loan Documents to an attorney to enforce, construe or defend the same, as a consequence of any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Construction Loan Agreement), with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, the Indemnitors shall pay to the Administrative Agent, immediately upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of award at the maximum interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement
