7.       Unimpaired
Liability. The liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and each Indemnitor
hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of, as applicable, the Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document to or with Indemnitee by any one or more of the Individual Borrowers or
any Person who succeeds anyone or more of the Individual Borrowers or any Person as owner of any Individual Property (subject to

way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage
or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) unless a substitute Indemnitor acceptable to Indemnitee in accordance with the Loan
Agreement has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, but subject to Section 9 and Section 10
hereof, any sale or transfer of all or part of any Individual Property, or any sale or other assignment by any Non-Borrower Indemnitor
of its direct or indirect ownership interests in any Individual Borrower, (iii) except as provided herein, any exculpatory

terms or conditions contained in any of the other Loan Documents, by operation of law, Indemnitee’s voluntary act, or otherwise,
(vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Note, or (vii) Indemnitee’s failure
to record the Mortgage or file any of the UCC financing statements (or Indemnitee’s improper recording or filing of any thereof)
or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Note; and, in any such
case, whether with or without notice to any of the Indemnitors and with or without consideration.

8.       Enforcement.
The Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of Indemnitors without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral
or without first having recourse to the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Documents or any of portion of
any Individual Property, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided, however, that nothing herein shall
inhibit or prevent Indemnitee from suing on the Note, foreclosing or exercising any power of sale under the Mortgage or exercising
any other rights and remedies thereunder, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement. This Agreement is not collateral or security
for the Obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, unless Indemnitee expressly elects in writing to make this Agreement
additional collateral or security for such Obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which Indemnitee is entitled
to do in its sole and absolute discretion. It is not necessary for an Event of Default to have occurred pursuant to and as defined
in the Mortgage or the Loan Agreement for Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Loan Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of each Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement are exceptions
to any non-recourse or exculpation provision of the Loan Agreement; and each Indemnitor expressly acknowledges and agrees that
it is fully and personally liable for such obligations, and such liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal
balance of the Loan or the value of the Properties.


 


9.       Limitations
on Liability of Non-Borrower Indemnitors.


 


(a)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, in the event of:


 


(i)       any
foreclosure upon the Mezzanine Loan Default by the Mezzanine Lender that is not a Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate of the direct
ownership interests in Borrower pledged as collateral for the Mezzanine Loan pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, any transfer
in lieu of foreclosure of the equity pledged as collateral for the Mezzanine Loan to, on behalf of or for the account of the Mezzanine
Lender that is not a Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate (any such foreclosure or transfer-in-lieu thereof, a “Mezzanine
Divestment”), with the result that neither of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors nor any other Non-Borrower Indemnitor
Affiliate (excluding any Loan Party who as a result of such Mezzanine Divestment is no longer Controlled by either of the Non-Borrower
Indemnitors or any other Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate) shall have Control of, any one or more of the Individual Borrowers
(each such Individual Borrower, a “Divested Borrower”), or


 


(ii)       (A)
any foreclosure (whether judicially or non-judicially by private sale or trustee’s sale) of any Mortgage, (B) any transfer
in lieu of foreclosure to, on behalf of or for the account of Indemnitee or a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator or other
third-party appointed by, on behalf of or for the account of Indemnitee taking control of any Individual Property (any such foreclosure,
foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or appointment, a “Mortgage Divestment”), with the
result, in any such case, that neither of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors nor any other Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate shall have
the power to direct the management of, any one or more of the Properties thereby foreclosed, transferred or controlled (each such
Property, a “Divested Property”),


 




    	 	-10-	Environmental Indemnity Agreement



     


    

 


then, in such cases, Non-Borrower
Indemnitors shall not have any liability under the Loan Documents for any Losses arising from any circumstance, condition, action
or event with respect to any such Divested Property or Divested Borrower first occurring after the date of the Mortgage Divestment
or Mezzanine Divestment, as applicable, and not caused by the acts of either of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors or any other Non-Borrower
Indemnitor Affiliate, or any Loan Party (excluding any Loan Party who as a result of a Mezzanine Divestment is no longer Controlled
by either of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors or any other Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate); provided that Non-Borrower Indemnitors
shall remain liable hereunder for any Losses to the extent arising from any action or event occurring with respect to any such
Divested Property or Divested Borrower prior to the date of the Mortgage Divestment or Mezzanine Divestment, as applicable.


 


(b)       In
the event that a Permitted Direct Assumption or Permitted Indirect Assumption, shall occur in accordance with Section 7.1
of the Loan Agreement, and Indemnitee receives in connection therewith a replacement guaranty and replacement environmental indemnity
(collectively, the “Assumption Replacement Guaranty”) in satisfaction of the condition in Section
7.1(a)(xiii) or Section 7.1(b)(xi) of the Loan Agreement, as applicable, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver a release
of Non-Borrower Indemnitors for any Losses arising from any circumstance, condition, action or event first occurring after the
effective date of such Assumption Replacement Guaranty (the “Assumption Release Date”) to the extent
the same is not caused by either of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors or any Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate (it being understood
that circumstances, conditions, actions or events caused by or on behalf of any Transferee Borrower or Indirect Transferee shall
be deemed to not have been caused by any Non-Borrower Indemnitor or any Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate); provided, however,
that Non-Borrower Indemnitors shall remain liable hereunder for any Losses arising from any action or event occurring prior to
the Assumption Release Date.


 


(c)       In
the event that a Mezzanine Loan Default shall exist with respect to the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Lender is not a Non-Borrower
Indemnitor Affiliate and the Mezzanine Lender, pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Mezzanine Loan Documents, (i) exercises
direct voting Control, by power of attorney or other exercise of voting power with respect to the ownership interests of the applicable
Individual Borrower pledged to the Mezzanine Lender as collateral for the Mezzanine Loan under the Mezzanine Loan Documents, of
such ownership interests in the applicable Individual Borrower so pledged as collateral for the Mezzanine Loan, or (ii) appoints
a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator or other third-party that is not a Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate to take control
of the equity pledged as collateral for the Mezzanine Loan (the “Direct Control Remedies”, and the Mezzanine
Lender, or such receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator or other third-party appointed by the Mezzanine Lender, exercising such
Direct Control Remedies, the “Controlling Mezzanine Lender”), Non-Borrower Indemnitors shall not have
liability hereunder for the actions that such Controlling Mezzanine Lender, in the exercise of its Direct Control Remedies, causes
any Borrower to take (“Mezzanine Lender Controlled Actions”) if such Mezzanine Lender Controlled Actions
are taken without consent of or collusion with, either of the Non-Borrower Indemnitors or any Non-Borrower Indemnitor Affiliate.

10.      Survival.
Except as expressly provided to the contrary in Section 9 hereof, the obligations and liabilities of each Indemnitor under
this Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely, notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment
of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the indemnification obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall terminate three (3) years after the payment in full (or,
if later, after delivery of the Environmental Report described in this sentence), in accordance with the Loan Agreement, of the
Debt solely as to an Individual Property as to which at the time of such payment (or at any time thereafter) Indemnitee has been
furnished an updated Environmental Report in form and substance, and from an environmental consultant, reasonably acceptable to
Indemnitee and acceptable to the Rating Agencies, which updated Environmental Report discloses, as of the date of such repayment
(or, if later, the date of the delivery thereof), no actual or threatened (other than as disclosed in the Environmental Report
delivered to Indemnitee by Indemnitor in connection with the origination of the Loan) (A) non-compliance with or violation of
applicable Environmental Laws (or permits issued pursuant to Environmental Laws) in connection with any Individual Property or
operations thereon, which has not been cured in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, (B) Environmental Liens encumbering
any Individual Property, (C) administrative processes or proceedings or judicial proceedings concerning any environmental matter
addressed in this Agreement, or (D) unlawful presence or Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above or under any Individual
Property that has not been fully remediated as required by applicable Environmental Laws.


 


11.      Interest.
Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable on demand and, if
not paid within thirty (30) days of such demand therefor, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.


 


12.      Waivers.


 


(a)       Each
Indemnitor hereby waives and relinquishes (i) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of any Indemnitor’s
assets or to cause Indemnitee or any other Indemnified Party to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding
under this Agreement against any Indemnitor; (ii) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors
generally, including any rights of subrogation which any Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided
for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses
whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights, including,
without limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or any other Indemnified Party;
(iii) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought
against or by Indemnitee or any other Indemnified Party; (iv) notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or omitted
in reliance hereon; (v) presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform
or observe, or other proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder
and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Indemnitor
hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations until
the Debt shall have been paid in full.

AND INDEMNIFIED PARTY.


 


13.       Subrogation.
Each Indemnitor hereby agrees that it shall take any and all commercially reasonable actions, including the 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 Substances at, in, on, under or near any Individual Property or otherwise obligated by law to
bear the cost. The Indemnified Parties shall be and hereby are subrogated to all of each Indemnitor’s rights now or hereafter
in such claims.

or ability of such Indemnitor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part
of such Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection

other Indemnified Party) to approve or disapprove such matter, all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not
satisfactory to Indemnitee (or such other Indemnified Party) and all other decisions and determinations made by Indemnitee (or
such other Indemnified Party), shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Indemnitee (or such other Indemnified Party) and
shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.


 


(b)       Wherever
pursuant to this Agreement it is provided that any Indemnitor pay any costs and expenses, such costs and expenses shall include,

personal liability undertaken by Indemnitors herein.  Indemnitors further hereby acknowledge that even though the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to representations,

obligations of Indemnitors under this Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Mortgage or the security interests or other
collateral described in the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Indemnitee to create separate obligations
of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.
