 Section 3.07         Reserved.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7 of the Note or Paragraph 30 of the Mortgage, Borrower may request that Lender permit Borrower to prepay the Loan in full at par from the proceeds of a substitute first mortgage loan (“Substitute Loan”) to be funded by Lender to Borrower and secured by a substitute property owned in fee simple as provided below (which was not previously any of the Pooled Properties hereunder) (“Substitute Property”) and to obtain a release of the Property from the Security Instruments upon and subject to the following terms and conditions (“Substitution”):
  
 (a)                Borrower must submit a written request (“Substitution Request”) to Lender for the proposed Substitute Loan identifying the proposed Substitute Property at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed closing date for the Substitution.  Lender shall evaluate the request for the proposed Substitute Loan and the proposed Substitute Property in its sole discretion pursuant to its then customary underwriting and pricing criteria.  The amount of the Substitute Loan requested must be at least the amount of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan. Lender may review such items as it may require in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, location, occupancy, lease term, rollover, tenant exposure, and tenant’s credit.
 (b)               Theowner of the Substitute Property (and borrower under the Substitute Loan) must be either (1) the Borrower, or (2) a single asset affiliate of Guarantor having the identical beneficial ownership structure and management control as the Borrower.
 (c)                The Substitute Property must be a similar income producing property as the Property.  Under no circumstances shall Lender permit any special purpose properties (for example, hotels, motels, mobile home parks, health or senior care facilities).  The Substitute Property must be located in the continental United States.
 (d)               Lender in its sole discretion shall acknowledge within ten (10) business days of the Lender’s receipt of the Substitution Request whether the proposed Substitute Property appears to be acceptable to permit the Substitution.  If in the Lender’s sole discretion it is determined that the proposed Substitute Property is equal to or greater in quality than the Property, then Lender, through its loan correspondent, HFF,  will process the Borrower’s formal request to make the Substitute Loan.  The proposal will be reviewed by and presented to Lender’s and Voya Investment Management LLC’s investment review committee pursuant to each of their then current commercial mortgage loan policies, practices, standards and procedures for approval in their sole and absolute discretion.  If the investment review committee approves the formal request for Substitute Loan and Substitute Property, the Substitution will be subject to the other conditions outlined herein.
 (e)                No more than two (2) Substitutions in the aggregate shall be closed during the entire term of the Pooled Loans among all of the Pooled Properties.  Of the total of two (2) Substitutions described in the preceding sentence, only one (1) Substitution may be closed prior to June 30, 2019, and only one (1) Substitution may be closed during the period commencing July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2024.  From and after July 1, 2024, the rights hereunder may not be exercised, and the terms of this Section 3.08 shall be deemed null and void.
 (f)                Borrower shall pay a processing fee to Lender equal to $50,000 (“Processing Fee”) at closing of each and every approved Substitution.  A “Substitution Deposit” of $5,000 shall be required with submission of each Substitution Request, which deposit shall be applied to the Processing Fee at closing of the Substitution.  The Substitution Deposit and Processing Fee contemplated by this subsection are in addition to reasonable outside counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the preparation, negotiation, documentation, due diligence review and closing of such Substitution.
 (g)                All improvements on the Substitute Property shall have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable Requirements prior to closing of the Substitution. The Substitute Property must be lien free and all land, improvements and personal property paid for in full.
 (h)               The appraised fair market “As Is” value of the Substitute Property shall be equal to or greater than the greater of (1) the then-appraised fair market value, or gross sales proceeds, as the case may be, of the ’Property and (2) the original appraised value of the ’Property as set forth in the appraisal delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of this Loan.  The fair market “As Is” value of the Property and Substitute Property shall be determined by a firm of appraisers approved by the Lender, based on an MAI appraisal satisfactory to Lender, dated not more than ninety (90) days prior to the closing of the Substitute Loan.  All costs of such appraisals shall be paid by the Borrower on or prior to the closing of the Substitute Loan.
 (i)                 The actual net operating income relating to the Substitute Property (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month financial results or such shorter period, as Lender deems appropriate, for a Substitute Property opened for less than one year) shall equal or exceed the actual net operating income relating (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month financial results or such shorter period, as Lender deems appropriate, for the Substitute Property opened for less than one year) to the Property.
 (j)                 The Pooled Properties, excluding the Property and including the Substitute Property, must have a Debt Yield equal to or in excess of 13% and must be at least 90% leased and occupied on a square foot basis.  As used herein, “Debt Yield” shall mean the quotient of (A) net cash flow of all Pooled Properties (excluding the Property and including the Substitute Property) divided by (B) the projected outstanding principal balance of the Pooled Loans (excluding the Property and including the Substitute Property) on the date of the release.
 (k)               Lender’s outside counsel shall prepare and owner of the Substitute Property (as described in subsection (b) above) shall execute a new note, mortgage, assignment of rents and leases, loan agreement, environmental indemnities, borrower’s certificate, and all other loan documents Lender shall deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, (1) all documents necessary to cross collateralize and cross default the Substitute Loan with the other Pooled Loans (as described in Section 3.06) and (2) any modification of the existing Loan Documents (all of which shall be substantially in the form of the applicable documents executed in connection with the Loan with such changes thereto as Lender reasonably deems appropriate to reflect the terms and circumstances of the Substitution Loan and Substitute Property) (collectively, the “Substitute Loan Documents”).
 (l)                 Prior to the closing of the Substitution Loan, Borrower shall be required to supply for Lender’s review and approval due diligence materials and such other materials as may then be customarily required as part of its then current commercial loan closing policies, procedures, standards and practices for properties of similar type and in similar locations as the Substitute Property, including, without limitation, a current as-built ALTA survey, proof of adequate insurance, title insurance in conformance with the Lender’s requirements, proof of compliance with governmental regulations, tenant estoppel certificates, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements.

The items listed in this section are not exhaustive.
 (m)             The Substitute Loan Documents, financing statements and other instruments required to perfect the liens in the Substitute Property and all collateral under such documents shall have been recorded, registered and filed (as applicable) in such manner as may be required by law to create a valid, perfected lien and security interest with respect to the Substitute Property and the personal property related thereto.  The liens created by the Substitute Loan Documents shall be first liens and security interests on the Substitute Property and the personal property related thereto (except the second security instrument securing the guaranty), subject only to such exceptions as Lender shall approve in its sole discretion.  At closing of the Substitute Loan, the Borrower (or other new borrower permitted under subsection (b) above) shall have good and marketable title to the Substitute Property and good and valid title to any personal property located thereon or used in connection therewith, in each case satisfactory to the Lender.
 (n)               Lender shall have received (1) a consent to the Substitution by any “Carve-Out” or other guarantors or indemnitors on the Loan in addition to Borrower and (2) such other instruments and agreements and such certificates and opinions of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender in connection with such Substitution as it may reasonably request.
 (o)               Borrower shall consider all implications for documentary stamp and intangibles taxes on the Substitute Loan that shall arise in connection with such Substitution.  Lender shall require payment of all such documentary stamp and intangibles taxes required by law and authorities having jurisdiction as a condition of closing the Substitute Loan in the jurisdiction where the Substitute Property is located regardless of whether the taxing authority imposes taxes duplicative of those incurred at the original closing of the Loan where the Property is located.
 (p)               No uncured Event of Default shall exist under any other Loan Documents on the date of Substitution Request or at closing of the Substitute Loan.
 (q)               Lender shall be satisfied that no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or prospects of Borrower and its managers and other major principals has occurred after closing of the Pooled Loans.  Lender shall be entitled to request copies of financial statements and such other financial information as it shall reasonably require in order to assess the financial status of the Borrower (or new borrower permitted pursuant to subsection (b) above) and to determine and/or estimate the solvency of such entity prior to and following the closing of the Substitution.  Lender shall not be required to close a proposed Substitution in the event it reasonably determines that the Borrower (or new borrower under (b) above) is or, upon completion of the Substitution, may become insolvent within the meaning of the term under the federal bankruptcy code.
 (r)                 The Borrower shall pay all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such Substitution and the customary and reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Lender, its outside counsel and its loan correspondent and/or loan servicer in connection therewith.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, in connection with, and as a condition to, each Substitution, pay (1) the reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining all property condition assessments, appraisal reports, environmental site assessments and if applicable, seismic reports required by Lender in connection with such Substitution, and (2) all  recording charges, title insurance charges, and stamp and/or mortgage or similar taxes, transfer taxes relating to such Substitution.  Borrower may request estimates from the applicable appraisers and consultants before the reports and assessments contemplated under clause (1) above are ordered, and if the Borrower objects to paying the estimated costs of such reports, the Borrower may withdraw its request for Substitution and receive a refund of the Substitution Deposit. Once a report or assessment is ordered, the Borrower shall be responsible for payment of the associated cost thereof.
 Section 3.09         Letter of Credit.  In the event Lender requires or agrees to accept a letter of credit in satisfaction of any requirement herein, said letter of credit and any extension, renewal, or replacement thereof shall be an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank approved by Lender and in substance and form acceptable to Lender.  Said letter of credit shall not contain any conditions for its cashing beyond presentation by its authorized representative.  Its term shall be for not less than three (3) months beyond the end of the time period, or any extension thereof, specified by Lender for satisfaction of such requirement.
  
 Section 3.10         Prohibition on Dry Cleaners.  Borrower shall not, during the term of the Pooled Loans, conduct or permit any tenant to conduct any dry cleaning operations on or at the Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operation of a dry cleaning facility by a tenant at any of the Pooled Properties will not constitute a default under the Loan Documents so long as such operation is conducted at all times in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined in the Mortgage) and such tenant is actively taking all necessary steps related to its operations in order to prohibit a release of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Mortgage) on, in or under the applicable Pooled Property. Any such tenancy and its operation of a compliant dry cleaning system shall not be deemed a waiver of nor be deemed to void or limit any covenants and indemnifications provided by Borrower or any guarantor of the Loan under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement executed in connection herewith.

Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than any Lien arising under any Loan Document) upon the Property or any other properties or assets of Borrower, the charter or by-laws or other organizational documents of Borrower, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which Borrower, the Property or any other properties or assets of Borrower is subject.
  
 Section 4.07         Governmental Consent.

 Section 4.08         Disclosure.  Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to Lender by Borrower in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not materially misleading.

 Section 4.11         No Event of Default.  The Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement have been complied with and are in full force and effect and no Events of Default exist thereunder; Borrower has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which with the giving of notice or passage of time (or both) would constitute an Event of Default thereunder, and all obligations and agreements required to be performed by Borrower thereunder have been performed.
  
 Section 4.12         Compliance with Requirements.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Improvements have been constructed free from faults and defects, and in all respects conform to and comply with all valid and applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of all governmental entities having jurisdiction over, and all covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations affecting the Land and the Improvements (the “Requirements”). Borrower has no knowledge of any noncompliance (either substantial or unsubstantial) of the Improvements with any of the applicable Requirements.

 Section 4.14         Personalty.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Leases, title to all goods, materials, supplies, equipment, machinery and other personal property and fixtures used in the operation or maintenance of the Property, is vested in Borrower free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, other than the lien and security interest of the Security Instruments, and Borrower has not executed any security agreement, purchase order or other contract or agreement under which any person or other entity is granted or reserves the right to retain title to, remove or repossess any of such goods, materials, supplies, equipment, machinery or other personal property or fixtures.
  
 Section 4.15         Zoning.  Under the applicable zoning ordinance of each jurisdiction in which each parcel of Land is located, each parcel of Land is zoned in a zoning classification that permits the use of the Land and Improvements for all purposes as currently used, without any conditions other than with respect to which such conditions have been complied in full and without exception.  Furthermore, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, in the event the Improvements were damaged or destroyed, the Improvements could be restored or reconstructed as they now exist without the requirement of any zoning variance or waiver.
  
 Section 4.16         Restrictions.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Land is not subject to: (i) any use or occupancy restrictions, except those imposed by applicable zoning laws and regulations, except any such restrictions described in the mortgagee title policy(ies) delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan and those restrictions set forth in the Security Instruments; (ii) special taxes or assessments; (iii) utility tap-in fees, except those generally applicable throughout the tax districts in which the Land is located; or (iv) charges or restrictions, whether existing of record or arising by operation of law, unrecorded agreement, the passage of time or otherwise, except any such charges or restrictions described in the mortgagee title policy(ies) delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan.
  
 Section 4.17         Status of Service Contracts.  Borrower is not in default under any development, management, service or other agreements and contracts relating to the operation or management of the Property in a manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; there is no material default on the part of any other party to any of such contracts, there is no material default of Borrower under any such contracts or the existence of any facts or circumstances, which with the giving of notice or passage of time (or both), would constitute a material default under any of such contracts, which defaults could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Such contracts have not been modified or amended in any material respect since the date true and correct copies of the same were delivered to Lender by Borrower.  Borrower has not done or omitted to do any act so as to be estopped from exercising any of its rights under any of such contracts, and there is no assignment of any of Borrower’s rights under any of such contracts to any person or entity, other than Lender.
  
 Section 4.18         Status of Leases.  Borrower is not in default under any of the Leases, and there is no default on the part of any other party to any Lease, which defaults could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Leases are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable against Borrower and the tenants thereunder in accordance with their terms, and none of the Leases have been modified or amended in any material respect since the date true and correct copies of the same were delivered to Lender by Borrower.  Borrower has not done or omitted to do any act so as to be estopped from exercising any of its rights under any of the Leases, and there is no assignment of any of Borrower’s right under any of such contracts to any person or entity other than Lender.

Except as shown on those certain surveys previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, there are no encroachments on the Land; there are no strips or gores within or affecting the boundaries of the Land; and all Improvements are situated entirely within the boundaries of the Land and within any applicable building lines.
 Section 4.20         Access.  All streets and roads necessary for access to the Land have been completed, dedicated to public use and accepted for maintenance for all necessary governmental entities.

Except as set forth in that certain Certificate of Borrower executed and delivered in connection herewith, all utility facilities and services necessary for the full use, occupancy and operation of the Improvements are available to the Land through public or private easements or rights-of-way at the boundaries of the Land, including, without limitation, water, storm and sanitary sewer, electricity and telephone.
  
 Section 4.22         Brokerage Commissions.  All real estate and land brokerage commissions payable in connection with the acquisition of the Land, construction of the Improvements and the Loan, and all brokerage commissions or finders fees due and payable in connection with the current terms of any of the Leases, have been paid in full, or will be paid in full upon the execution of this Agreement.
  
 Section 4.23         Composition of Property.  Subject to the matters disclosed in the title policies delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, the Property includes all improvements and land, and other estates and rights (including, without limitation, any appurtenant easement rights and covenants and restrictions) which are necessary to allow for the continued use thereof as industrial buildings or other uses presently in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and as may be required by any of the Requirements, or to satisfy all tenant requirements under the Leases.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to pay or discharge any taxes, assessments or other charges of the nature referred to in the Mortgage Paragraphs 2 (Maintenance, Repair and Restoration of Improvements, Payment of Liens, etc.) and 3 (Payment of Taxes) so long as the Borrower shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection of the levy, lien or imposition so contested and the sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, to satisfy any obligation arising therefrom, provided that the Borrower shall give such security as may be demanded by the Lender to insure such payments and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Property by reason of such nonpayment, failure of performance or contest by Borrower.  Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence and the Borrower shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any levy, lien or imposition so determined, together with all interest and penalties, which may be payable in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, Borrower shall (and if Borrower shall fail so to do, Lender may but shall not be required to) pay any such levy, lien or imposition notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, the Property shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment and performance of all Obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents, and should Lender incur any liability for or in defense of any of the foregoing matters, the amount thereof (and all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith) shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective assignee of Lender.
  
 Section 5.10         Replacement of Note.  Upon receipt of notice from Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, Borrower shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement note identical in form and substance to the Note and dated as of the date of the Note, and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, or in the loan documents and the environmental indemnification agreements for the Affiliate Loans, to such Note so replaced shall be deemed to refer to such replacement note.
  
 Section 5.11         Notification of Name Change; Location.  Borrower shall furnish Lender with notice of any change in Borrower’s name or address or principal place of business within fifteen (15) days of the effective date of such change, and Borrower shall promptly execute any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
  
 Section 7.01         Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:
  
 (a)                The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Security Instruments or any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
  
 (b)               Should any Default occur in the performance or observance of any term, condition or provision contained in this Agreement which does not relate to the nonpayment of any monetary sum, and such Default is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof by Lender to Borrower or within such longer period of time, not exceeding an additional thirty (30) days, as may be reasonably necessary to cure such non-compliance if Borrower is diligently and with continuity of effort pursuing such cure and the failure is susceptible of cure within such additional period of thirty (30) days.
  
 (c)                Should any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement be false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which made (or deemed made).
  
 (d)               Should Borrower be terminated, liquidated, dissolved or otherwise cease to exist.
  
 Section 7.02         Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its discretion, exercise one or more of the following remedies:
  
 (a)                To accelerate the maturity of the Obligations and declare the entire unpaid principal balance of, and any unpaid interest then accrued on, the Note, together with any Prepayment Premium, without demand or notice of any kind to Borrower or any other Person, to be immediately due and payable.
  
 (b)               Take all, any or any combination of the actions Lender may take under any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement upon the occurrence of a default or an event of default thereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the event that is an Event of Default hereunder may not constitute a default or an event of default under any such other Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, including, without limitation acceleration of the Obligations evidenced by the Note and foreclosure and sale of the Land and the Improvements under the Security Instruments.
  
 (c)                Perform, or cause to be performed, any obligation, covenant or agreement that Borrower has failed to perform or comply with, and in such event all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in performing any such obligation, covenant or agreement shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Security Instruments, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date paid or incurred by Lender, and the interest thereon shall also be added to and become a part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Security Instruments.
  
 (d)               Continue to act, with respect to Borrower and the Loan, as if no Event of Default had occurred, which continuance shall not be or be construed as a waiver of Lender’s rights; and assert the Event of Default and take any action provided for herein at any time after the occurrence and during the existence of the Event of Default.
  
 (e)                Proceed as authorized by law to obtain payment of the Loan.
  
 (f)                Take all, any, or any combination of the actions Lender may take under applicable law or equity subject to the limitations on liability of Borrower contained herein and in the Note and the Security Instruments.
  
 No failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any further right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.  No exercise by Lender of any remedy under the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall operate as a limitation on any rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, except to the extent of moneys actually received by Lender under the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
  
 Section 7.03         Costs and Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any of the actions authorized in this Article, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, shall be and constitute a portion of the Loan, secured in the same manner and to the same extent as the Loan, even though such costs and expenses may cause the amount of the Loan to exceed the face amount of the Note.  Whenever the terms of this Agreement require Borrower to pay attorneys’ fees of Lender, such obligation shall extend only to reasonable attorneys’ fees, without regard to statutory interpretations, actually incurred at normal hourly rates.
  
 Section 7.04         Remedies Cumulative.  The foregoing remedies are cumulative of, and in addition to, and not restrictive or in lieu of, the other remedies provided for herein and the remedies provided for or allowed by the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, or provided for or allowed by law, or in equity.

 or to such other persons or at such other place as any party hereto may by Notice designate as a place for service of Notice; provided, however, that the “copy to” Notice to be given as set forth above is a courtesy copy only; and a Notice given to such person is not sufficient to effect giving a Notice to the principal party, nor does a failure to give such a courtesy copy of a Notice constitute a failure to give Notice to the principal party.
  
 Section 8.02         No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder.  The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on Borrower not required hereunder or under any other Loan Document in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
  
 Section 8.03         Successors and Assigns; Sale of Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, other than to the extent expressly permitted by the Security Instruments.  Lender may sell or assign all or any part of Lender’s rights, title or interests hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement without the prior written consent of Borrower; provided, however that any such assignment shall not increase any of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.  In that event, such successor or assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
  
 Section 8.04         Modification.  This Agreement shall not be modified or amended in any respect except by a written agreement executed by the parties in the same manner as this Agreement is executed.
  
 Section 8.05         Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
  
 Section 8.06         GoverningLaw.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
  
 Section 8.07         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
  
 Section 8.08         Effectiveness; Survival.
  
 (a)                This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the parties hereto shall have signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and Lender shall have received the same.
  
 (b)               All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, and such other agreements and documents, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note, and shall terminate at such time as the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full; provided, however, that the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof notwithstanding any payment and satisfaction of the Obligations.
  
 Section 8.09         Severability.  In case any provision in or Obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
  
 Section 8.10         Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitation of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
  
 Section 8.11         Headings Descriptive.  The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
  
 Section 8.12         Termination of Agreement.  At such time as all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate; provided however, that any and all indemnity obligations of Borrower to Lender arising hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, which are expressly stated to survive satisfaction of the Obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, and provided further that all indemnity obligations under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall survive such payment and satisfaction of the Obligations as set forth in the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
  
 Section 8.13         Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan, the other Obligations and the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings related to such subject matters.

BORROWER IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE OBJECTION TO VENUE IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS.
