Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any Environmental Inspections to any third party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, orders, damages or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to conducting any such Environmental Inspections (unless solely due to Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable court order) or providing the results of the same or delivering the same to any person or entity.

Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of demand by Lender.

Except as provided in Section 11(a) and Section 11(b), upon full performance by Borrower of all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, including payment in full by Borrower of all Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, either at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment (or in connection with the Release of any Mortgaged Property, payment in full of the Release Price), Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees from and after the date of the receipt by Lender of payment in full of all Indebtedness under the Loan Documents (or in connection with the Release of any Mortgaged Property and with respect to such released Mortgaged Property only, the date of the receipt by Lender of payment in full of the Release Price) (the “Repayment Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a)If the payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness by Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Insolvency Laws relating to a Voidable Transfer, and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then this Agreement and the indemnification obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored, and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made and the Lien of the Security Instrument not been released.
