party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless
from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and
expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing
commission
or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying parry’s dealings
with any real estate broker or agent other than the Broker. The terms of this Section
8 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Amendment.



     9. No
Further Modification. Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment,
all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and
effect.
In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the terms and
