them has any right of setoff or defense or any counterclaim with respect to any of the indebtedness

10. Lien. Seller, Purchaser, and Original Carveout Obligor, jointly and severally,
warrant and represent to, and agree with, Lender that the Original Security Instruments, as amended
by this Agreement, collectively constitute a valid first-priority lien and security title on the
Property, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the
enforceability or any of such instruments may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditor’s
rights generally, or by equitable principles of general application (whether considered in an
action at law or in equity).

Agreement or any such instruments and documents derives his or her authority to execute them on
Purchaser’s behalf (collectively, “Purchaser’s Organizational Documents”).

provisions of this Agreement, nor the purchase, ownership or operation of the Property by
Purchaser, will result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or, except as provided by
the Loan Documents, result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or
assets of Purchaser or under Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, or any court order,
administrative order, indenture, mortgage, security agreement, bank loan or credit agreement or
other instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound.

contemplated by this Agreement or under the Loan Documents.

that, with notice and/or the passage of time, would become a “Default” under any of the Loan
Documents has occurred or is in existence as of the Effective Date.



(b) Purchaser shall not raise or otherwise exercise any right of setoff or defense or any
counterclaim with respect to any of the indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured by
any of the Loan Documents (or by any document or instrument executed in connection therewith) which

“Default” under any of the Loan Documents.

enforceability of creditor’s rights generally, or by equitable principles of general application
(whether considered in an action at law or in equity).

accordance with all requirements of its organizational documents and the organizational documents
of any entity through which the authority of any signatory to this Agreement or any other such
document derives his or her authority to execute them on Seller’s behalf (collectively, “Seller’s
Organizational Documents”), and are legal, valid and binding documents, enforceable against Seller
in accordance with their respective terms.



(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized pursuant to the
terms of Seller’s Organizational Documents; (ii) will not violate Seller’s Organizational
Documents; and (iii) will not result in any breach of or constitute a default under any court

or other instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.



(h) All information provided by Seller to AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc. in connection with
the proposed sale of the Property from Seller to Purchaser and Purchaser’s proposed assumption of
the Loan is true, correct and complete in all material respects.



14. Indemnification. Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action of any third
party against Lender in connection with or as a result of entering into this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all losses, damages, liabilities, costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by Lender in connection therewith), except to the
extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender harmless from
and against any and all recording, documentary stamp, intangible and other taxes, if any, imposed
upon Lender by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any instrument or document
executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all penalties, interest, and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith. It is expressly understood
and agreed that the liability of Purchaser arising under this Section is not limited by any
limitation on the recourse of Lender for the Loan that may be provided in the Loan Documents and
that Lender shall have full recourse to all of the assets of Purchaser for the satisfaction of the
obligations arising under this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment
of the Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby, and the satisfaction of the Loan Documents, and
shall continue for so long as a claim may be asserted by any third party.



15. Release of Seller and Original Carveout Obligor. Upon the complete execution and
recordation of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall be deemed to have been released from (i) all
obligations under the Loan with respect to the payment of principal, interest and late fees under
the Loan arising after the Effective Date, and (ii) all obligations under the Loan Documents with
respect to any acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Date; and (b) Original Carveout
Obligor shall be deemed to have been released from all obligations under the Environmental
Indemnity and the Carveout Indemnity with respect to acts or omissions occurring after the
Effective Date. Nevertheless, Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither any of the transactions
described in this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement shall be construed to release
Seller from any obligations under the Loan Documents which pertain to obligations, acts or
omissions arising or occurring (i) prior to the Effective Date or (ii) out of circumstances or
conditions existing as of the Effective Date, and Seller hereby acknowledges its continuing
liability for all such obligations. Furthermore, Original Carveout Obligor acknowledges and agrees
that neither any of the transactions described in this Agreement nor any provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to release Original Carveout Obligor from any obligations under the
Carveout Indemnity or the Environmental Indemnity which pertain to acts or omissions occurring or
arising prior to the Effective Date or arising out of circumstances or conditions existing as of
the Effective Date, and Original Carveout Obligor hereby acknowledges the continuing liability of
Original Carveout Obligor for all such obligations.



16. No Novation. All of the “Property” described in the Deed of Trust shall remain in
all respects subject to the liens, charges and encumbrances of the Deed of Trust, and no provision
contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, is intended to affect,
shall affect, or shall be construed as affecting the liens, charges or encumbrances of the Deed of
Trust, or the priority thereof over any other lien, charge or encumbrance, nor shall any provision
contained in this Agreement or any action taken pursuant to this Agreement affect or be construed
as affecting any other security or instrument held by Lender in connection with the Loan.
Accordingly, it is the intent of the parties that this instrument shall not constitute a novation,
and shall in no way adversely affect the priority of the lien or security title or effect of any of
the Original Security Instruments. In the event that this Agreement, or any part hereof, shall be
construed by a court of competent jurisdiction as operating to affect the priority of the lien or
security title of any of the Original Security Instruments over claims that would otherwise be
subordinate thereto, then to the extent that third parties acquiring an interest in the Property
between the time of execution and delivery of the Original Security Instruments and the execution
and delivery of this Agreement are prejudiced thereby, this Agreement or such portion hereof as
shall be so construed, shall be void and of no force and effect, and this Agreement shall
constitute, as to that portion, a subordinate lien on the collateral incorporating by reference the
terms of the Original Security Instruments, and which Original Security Instruments then shall be
enforced pursuant to the terms therein contained, independent of this Agreement; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as between themselves that they shall
be bound by all terms and conditions hereof until all indebtedness evidenced by any of the Loan
Documents has been satisfied in full.



17. Ratification. Except as herein amended or concurrently released, the Original
Loan Documents shall remain unaffected, unchanged, unmodified, and unimpaired, and the priority of
the lien and security interest of the Original Security Instruments on the Property shall not be
changed or in any way altered or affected hereby, and the Note and Original Security Instruments,
as herein amended, are hereby ratified and confirmed.



18. Subordination by Seller and Original Carveout Obligor. As inducement to Lender to
permit a transfer of the Property and the assumption of the Loan by Purchaser, Seller and Original
Carveout Obligor, jointly and severally, hereby subordinate any and all indebtedness of Purchaser
hereafter owed to Seller and/or Original Carveout Obligor to all indebtedness of Purchaser to
Lender, and covenant with Lender not to demand or accept any payment of principal or interest on
any such indebtedness or a return while any “Default” exists under the terms of any of the Loan
Documents.



19. Miscellaneous.



(a) Headings. Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not
be construed as controlling the scope of any provision hereof.



(b) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

term, covenant, and condition hereof.

Lender all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with protecting,
defending, or enforcing Lender’s rights under this Agreement, including costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal assistants’ fees prior to trial, at trial, on appeal, and in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceedings, and in collecting upon or enforcing any judgment.



(f) Security. All obligations on the part of Purchaser arising under this Agreement
shall be secured by the lien and security title of the Original Security Instruments, as herein
amended, and shall bear interest at the default rate under the Note from the date due until paid.



(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors,
and assigns.
