          such financial statements.

          agreement  required  hereunder to be given by Borrower when  delivered

          of  Borrower's  properties  free and clear of all  liens and  security
          interests,  and has not executed  any security  documents or financing
          statements relating to such properties.  All of Borrower's  properties
          are titled in  Borrower's  legal name,  and Borrower has not used,  or

          storage,  treatment,  disposal,  release or threatened  release of any
          hazardous  waste or  substance,  as those  terms  are  defined  in the
          "CERCLA"  "SARA,"  applicable  state or Federal laws,  or  regulations
          adopted  pursuant to any of the  foregoing.  The  representations  and
          warranties  contained  herein are based on Borrower's due diligence in
          investigating   the  properties  for  hazardous  waste  and  hazardous
          substances.  Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims
          against  Lender for indemnity of  contribution  in the event  Borrower
          becomes  liable for cleanup or other costs under any such law, and (b)
          agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Lender  against  any and all
          claims and losses  resulting  from a breach of this  provision of this
          Agreement.  This  obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of
          the indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.

          for business or commercial related purposes.

Default  of the  type  described  in the  "Insolvency"  subsection  above,  such
acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have
all the rights and  remedies  provided in the Related  Documents or available at
law, in equity or otherwise.  Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
of  Lender's  rights  and  remedies  shall be  cumulative  and may be  exercised
singularly  or  concurrently.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not
exclude  pursuit of any other remedy,  and an election to make  expenditures  or
take action to perform an  obligation  of  Borrower or of any Grantor  shall not
affect  Lender's  right to  declare a default  and to  exercise  its  rights and
remedies.
