Any reasonable costs, expenses, or advances incurred or paid by Lender as described in this §5.1 shall become part of the Loan and, upon demand, shall be paid to Lender together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (defined in the Note) from the date of disbursement by Lender.

5.2.4 Extension or Modification of Loan.

5.2.5 Right to Select Security. Lender has the right to proceed at its election against all security or against any item or items of such security from time to time, and no action against any item or items of security shall bar subsequent actions against any item or items of security.

No forbearance in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof; no forbearance in exercising any right or remedy on any one or more occasion shall operate as a waiver thereof on any further occasion; and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
5.2.7 No Waiver. Failure by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any of the covenants and agreements herein set forth or to exercise any rights or remedies upon default by Borrower hereunder shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the right to insist upon and to enforce by mandamus or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy strict compliance by Borrower with all of the covenants and conditions hereof, or of the

-8-


 

rights to exercise any such rights or remedies, if such default by Borrower is continued or repeated. To the extent permitted by law, any two or more of such rights or remedies may be exercised at the same time.
5.2.8 No Continuing Waivers. If any covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents is breached by Borrower and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by Lender. No course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, nor any delay nor omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights under the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver.
5.2.9 No Release. Borrower and any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment or performance of all or any part of the Note shall not be released from paying and performing under the Note by reason of [i] the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower (or of any other person so obligated), to take action to enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, or [ii] the release, regardless of consideration, of the obligations of any person liable for payment or performance of the Note, or any part thereof, or [iii] any agreement or stipulation extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Note, and in the event of such agreement or stipulation, Borrower and all such other persons shall continue to be liable under such documents, as amended by such agreement or stipulation, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Lender.

5.16 Indemnity.
          5.16.1 Indemnification. Borrower hereby indemnifies, and agrees to hold harmless Lender (in its capacity as Lender), any successors or assigns of Lender, and Lender’s and such successor’s and assign’s directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages (excluding consequential damages), losses, liabilities (including strict liability), judgments, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs set forth in §7.21) incurred in connection with or arising from [i] ownership of a lender’s interest in any Real Estate Assets; [ii] any injury or damage to the person, property or business of Borrower, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, or any other person entering upon any Real Estate Assets; [iii] any acts, omissions or negligence of Borrower or any person claiming under Borrower, or the contractors, agents, employees, invitees, or visitors of Borrower or any such person; [iv] any construction, alterations, changes or demolition performed by or contracted for by Borrower or its employees, agents or contractors; [v] any activity, work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Borrower in or about any Real Estate Asset; [vi] any breach, violation, or nonperformance by Borrower or any person claiming under Borrower or the employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or visitors of Borrower or of any such person, of any term, covenant, or provision of this Agreement or any law, ordinance, or governmental requirement of any kind, including, without limitation, any failure to comply with any applicable requirements under the ADA except, in each case, to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or such other indemnities. All amounts payable to Lender under this section shall be payable on written demand and shall be deemed indebtedness secured by the Mortgage and any such amounts which are not paid within 10 days after written demand therefor by Lender shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Borrower by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend such action, suit or proceeding.

participate in such claim or action, but the failure to give such notice in sufficient time shall not constitute a defense hereunder nor in any way impair the obligations of Borrower under this section unless the failure to give such notice precludes Borrower’s defense of any such action.
          5.16.3 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Borrower contained in this section shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations during which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all expenses and charges incurred by Lender relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified.
15.7 Environmental Indemnity; Audits.
          15.7.1 Indemnification. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Lender (in its capacity as Lender), any successors to Lender’s interest in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and Lender’s and such successors’ directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any losses, claims, damages (excluding consequential damages), penalties, fines, liabilities (including strict liability), costs (including cleanup and recovery costs), and expenses (including expenses of litigation and reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender or any other indemnitee or assessed against any Real Estate Asset by virtue of any claim or lien by any governmental or quasi-governmental unit, body, or agency, or any third party for clean-up costs or other costs pursuant to any Environmental Law. Borrower’s indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Provided, however, Borrower shall have no indemnity obligation with respect to [i] Hazardous Materials that are first introduced to a Real Estate Asset subsequent to the date that Borrower’s legal and equitable ownership and occupancy of the Project shall have fully terminated; or [ii] Hazardous Materials introduced to a Real Estate Asset by Lender, its successors or assigns or such other indemnitees.
15.8 Mechanic’s Liens. Borrower will undertake to promptly discharge any mechanic’s, materialmen or construction lien claims filed or otherwise asserted against any Real Estate Asset; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith and with due diligence the validity of any such lien or claim. If Borrower shall fail promptly either to discharge or to contest claims asserted, then Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Company, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to be an advance. In settling, compromising, or discharging any claims or liens, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim and shall have no liability for its actions in connection therewith.
