1.            (a)
      Indemnitor represents and warrants that there are no claims, liabilities,

      Indemnitor after due inquiry, any other person or entity has caused or permitted
      any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos to be used, generated, reclaimed,
      transported, released, treated, stored or disposed of in a manner which could
      form the basis for an Environmental Claim against Borrower or relating to any
      of
      the Properties.




(b)
      Indemnitor represents and warrants that, except as set forth in the
      environmental report prepared for each of the Properties by Lender prior to
      the
      date hereof and except for materials customarily used or stored in connection with the
      ordinary course of operation and management of properties similar to any of
      the
      Properties, which materials at any of the Properties exist only in reasonable
      quantities and are stored, contained, transported, used, released, and disposed
      of reasonably and without violation of any Hazardous Materials Law (as
      hereinafter defined), to the knowledge of Indemnitor after due inquiry and
      investigation, no Hazardous Materials or Asbestos are or were stored or
      otherwise located, and no underground storage tanks or surface impoundments
      are
      or were located, on any of the Properties or any other real property currently
      or formerly owned, leased or operated by Borrower, and no part of such real
      property, or to the knowledge of Indemnitor, no part of such adjacent parcels
      of
      real property, including the groundwater located therein or thereunder, is
      presently contaminated by Hazardous Materials or Asbestos.




(c)
      Indemnitor represents and warrants that to its knowledge no owner or occupant
      of
      any of the Properties, nor to its knowledge any prior owner or occupant of
      any
      of the Properties, has received any notice or advice from any governmental
      agency or any source whatsoever with respect to Hazardous Materials or Asbestos
      on, from or affecting any of the Properties.




(d)
      Indemnitor represents and warrants that Borrower has been and is currently
      in
      compliance in all material respects with all applicable Hazardous Materials
      Law,
      including obtaining and maintaining in effect all permits, licenses or other
      authorizations required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law.




2.           
      (a) Indemnitor covenants that Indemnitor shall cause Borrower to at all times
      comply with all applicable Hazardous Materials Law in all material respects
      and
      shall ensure compliance by all occupants of any of the Properties with all
      applicable Hazardous Materials Law in all material respects. Indemnitor shall
      conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling, testing and all
      remedial actions necessary to clean up and remove any Hazardous Materials and
      Asbestos from any of the Properties in accordance with all applicable Hazardous
      Materials Law. Indemnitor shall not: (i) violate any applicable Hazardous
      Materials Law; or (ii) generate, use, transport, handle, store, release or
      dispose of any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos in or into, on or onto, or from
      any of the Properties (except in accordance with applicable law); or (iii)
      permit any lien imposed pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Law to be imposed

      active or passive migration, release or discharge of any Hazardous Materials
      or
      Asbestos on, under or about any of the Properties in violation of any Hazardous
      Materials Law. In the event Indemnitor undertakes any remedial action with
      respect to any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos on, under or about any of the
      Properties, Indemnitor shall conduct and complete such remedial action in

      believe that a material violation of any Hazardous Materials Law related to
      any
      of the Properties has occurred and is continuing or that a reasonable basis
      for
      a material Environmental Claim affecting Borrower or related to any of the
      Properties exists, then Indemnitor agrees, promptly after written request from
      Lender, to provide Lender with such reports, certificates, engineering studies

      satisfy Lender that Borrower and each of the Properties are in material
      compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Law.

      including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s and consultant’s fees,
      investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses;
      (2) any lawsuit brought or threatened in writing, settlement reached, or
      government order relating to such Hazardous Materials or Asbestos; (3) the
      use, generation, refining, manufacture, transportation, transfer, production,
      processing, storage, handling, or treatment of any Hazardous Materials or
      Asbestos, on, under, from, or affecting any of the Properties or any other
      property; (4) the presence, disposal, dumping, escape, seepage, leakage,
      spillage, discharge, emission, pumping, emptying, injecting, leaching, pouring,
      release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos on, under,

      Note, the Loan Agreement, the Instrument, or any Other Security Documents or
      any
      of the Properties, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided , however ,

      shall have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, all obligations owed
      to
      Lender under the Loan Documents have been fully performed and there has expired
      the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower

      could be deemed a preference under the Bankruptcy Code (as hereinafter
      defined).




13.  Principal

      Agreement), and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender

14.  Principal
      shall have no right to assert or exercise, or attempt to assert or exercise,
      and
      hereby waives any right to assert or attempt to assert any claim for,
      subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution against Borrower
      and against any general partner, member or other constituent of Borrower and
      against any other person or any collateral or security for the Obligations,
      until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, all
      obligations owed to Lender under the Loan Documents have been fully performed,
      and Lender has released, transferred or disposed of all of its right, title
      and
      interest in such collateral or security, and there has expired the maximum
      possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others
      to Lender with respect to the Obligations and/or the Indebtedness could be
      deemed a preference under the Bankruptcy Code (as hereinafter
      defined).




15.  It
      is the
      intention of the parties that no Principal shall be deemed to be a “creditor” or
“creditors” (as defined in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
      (the “ **Bankruptcy
      Code** ”))
      of
      Borrower by reason of the existence of this Agreement, in the event that
      Borrower becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, and
      in
      connection herewith, such Principal hereby waives any such right as a “creditor”
under the Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is given to induce Lender to make the
      Loan evidenced by the Note to Borrower.




16.          
      (a) Borrower
      shall cooperate with Lender, and provide access to Lender and any professionals
      engaged by Lender, upon Lender’s request, to conduct, contract for, evaluate or
      interpret any environmental assessments, audits, investigations, testing,
      sampling, analysis and similar procedures on any of the Properties.




(b)  Borrower
      shall take (and Principal shall cause Borrower to take) any and all reasonable
      actions, including institution of legal action against third parties, necessary
      or appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such
      persons responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos
      at,
      in, on, under or near any of the Properties or otherwise obligated by law to
      bear the cost thereof. Lender shall be and hereby is subrogated to all of
      Borrower’s and/or Principal’s rights now or hereafter in such
      claims.




17.          
      Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that, with respect to such
      Indemnitor:




(a)
      Indemnitor has the full corporate, limited partnership, limited liability
      company, joint venture or other power and authority, as applicable, to execute
      and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; the
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Indemnitor has been
      duly and validly authorized; and all requisite corporate, limited partnership,
      limited liability company or joint venture action, as applicable, has been
      taken
      by Indemnitor to make this Agreement valid and binding upon Indemnitor and
      enforceable in accordance with its terms;




(b)
      Indemnitor’s execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement is in the
      ordinary course of business of Indemnitor and will not result in the breach
      of
      any term or provision of the articles of organization or operating agreement,
      charter or bylaws, limited partnership agreement or joint venture agreement,
      as
      applicable, of Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term or provision
      of,
      or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration
      of
      any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement
      or
      other instrument to which Indemnitor or any of the Properties are subject,
      or
      result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
      to which Indemnitor or any of the Properties are subject;




7
 
  (c)
        There
        is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or to the best of
        Indemnitor’s knowledge threatened against Indemnitor which, either in any one
        instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in
        the
        business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Indemnitor,
        or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Indemnitor to carry
        on
        its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability
        on the
        part of Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this
        Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the
        obligations of Indemnitor contemplated herein, or which would be likely to
        impair materially the ability of Indemnitor to perform under the terms of
        this
        Agreement;




(d)
      This
      Agreement is, and the Loan Documents, including the Note, when executed and
      delivered, will be, the legally valid and binding obligations of each
      Indemnitor, as applicable, enforceable against the Indemnitor, as applicable,
      in
      accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
      moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
      generally, no Indemnitor has any defense or offset to any of its obligations
      under the Loan Documents, and no Indemnitor has any claim against Lender or
      any
      Affiliate of Lender; and




(e)  Indemnitor
      has no defense or offset to the enforcement of this Agreement.




18.          
      (a) No delay on Lender’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under
      this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or
      privilege.




(b)
      Lender shall, at all times, be free to independently establish to its
      satisfaction and in its absolute discretion the existence or nonexistence of
      any
      fact or facts the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition of this
      Agreement.




19.          
      Each party hereto shall, within five (5) business days of receipt thereof,
      give
      written notice to the other party hereto of (i) any notice or advice from
      any governmental agency or any source whatsoever with respect to Hazardous
      Materials or Asbestos on, from or affecting any of the Properties, and
      (ii) any claim, suit or proceeding, whether administrative or judicial in
      nature (“ **Legal
      Action** ”),
      brought against such party or instituted with respect to any of the Properties,
      with respect to which Indemnitor may have liability under this Agreement. Such
      notice shall comply with the provisions of Paragraph 20 hereof.




20.          
      Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication
      required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and addressed to the
      respective party as set forth hereinabove. Notices shall be effective
      (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on
      the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
      service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and
      (iv) on the date of transmission
      if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise on the
      next Business Day) (with receipt of confirmation). Any
      party may change the address at which it is to receive notices to another
      address in the United States at which business is conducted (and not a post
      office box or other similar receptacle), by giving notice of such change of
      address in accordance with the foregoing. This provision shall not invalidate
      or
      impose additional requirements for the delivery or effectiveness of any notice
      (i) given in accordance with applicable statutes or rules of court, or (ii)
      by
      service of process in accordance with applicable law. If there is any assignment
      or transfer of Lender’s interest in the Loan, then the new Lender may give
      notice to the parties in accordance with this Paragraph 20, specifying the
      addresses at which the new Lender shall receive notice, and they shall be
      entitled to notice at such address in accordance with this Paragraph
      20.




8
 
  21.         
        EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL
        COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITHIN
        THE
        COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH ANY OF THE PROPERTIES IS LOCATED AND IRREVOCABLY
        AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING
        OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
        OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH INDEMNITOR
        ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE PROPERTIES, GENERALLY
        AND
        UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND
        WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE
        BOUND
        BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE,
        SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
        OR SUCH OBLIGATION. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS
        IN
        ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING
        PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY INDEMNITOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
        JURISDICTION.




22.          
      The terms of this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive protection and use
      of
      Lender. No party shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and no provision
      hereof shall operate or inure to the use and benefit of any such third
      party.




23.           Capitalized
      terms used herein and not specifically defined herein shall have the respective
      meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.




24.          
      This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
      counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together
      shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute
      this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other
      signatories from their obligations hereunder.




25.          
      This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
      discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part
      of
      Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
      enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge
      or termination is sought.




9
 
  26.          
        All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the
        masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person
        or
        persons referred to may require. Without limiting the effect of specific
        references in any provision of this Agreement, the terms “Borrower” and
“Indemnitor” shall be deemed to refer to Borrower or Indemnitor, as the case may
        be, and each person or entity comprising Borrower or Indemnitor, as the case
        may
        be, from time to time, as the sense of a particular provision may require,
        and
        to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives,
        successors and assigns of Borrower or Indemnitor, as the case may be, all
        of
        whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Each reference herein
        to Lender shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, to whose
        favor
        the provisions of this Agreement shall also inure.




27.          
      If Indemnitor consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and
      liabilities of each such person or entity hereunder shall be joint and
      several.




28.          
      Any one or more parties liable upon or in respect of this Agreement may be
      released without affecting the liability of any party not so
      released.




29.         
      The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of
      any
      rights or remedies which Lender has under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the
      Instrument, or the Other Security Documents or would otherwise have at law
      or in
      equity.




30.          
      If any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement shall be held to be
      invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be
      construed without such provision.




31.          
      This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
      of
      the State of New York and the applicable laws of the United States of America
      without regard to conflicts of law provisions.
