In the event any such Person undertakes any remedial action with respect to any such Hazardous Materials, such Person shall conduct and complete such remedial action in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
(c) If an Event of Default exists or Lender at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws by, or any liability arising thereunder of, an Indemnitor or any other Person relating to the Real Estate, then Indemnitors shall, upon request from Lender, provide Lender with such reports, certificates, engineering
-2-
studies or other written material or data as Lender may reasonably require so as to satisfy Lender that the Borrower and the Mortgaged Property are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
(d) In the event that the Real Estate (or any portion thereof) becomes the subject of any Remediation, Indemnitors shall commence such Remediation no later than the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after written demand by Lender for performance thereof, or (b) such shorter period of time as may be required under applicable law or direction of any Governmental Authorities and thereafter shall diligently prosecute the same to completion in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws. All Remediation shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs and expenses of such Remediation shall be paid by Indemnitors, including, without limitation, Lender' s reasonable attorneys' fees and actual out of pocket third party costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remediation. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remediation, Lender may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remediation to be performed, and all actual out of pocket third party costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall become an Obligation under the Loan. 3. Indemnified Rights/Cooperation and Access . Indemnitors shall permit Lender, any authorized representative of Lender and any consultant or other Person retained by Lender to enter upon, examine, test and inspect the Real Estate during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

4. Indemnification . Indemnitors shall indemnify, pay, defend, and hold harmless Lender and all other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities which Lender or any other Indemnified Party may suffer, directly, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Real Estate; (b) the violation of any Environmental Laws in connection with the Real Estate; (c) any presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property; (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the Release, at or from, the Real Estate of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Indemnitors; and (e) any Remediation. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Indemnitors to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender' s notice to Indemnitors of such action or proceeding), Indemnitors shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Indemnitors'
-3-
expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Indemnitors expressly retain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall, following notice to and consultation with Indemnitor, have the right to employ separate counsel at Indemnitors' expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Parties and Indemnitors that would make such separate representation advisable. Indemnitors shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party to the extent of damage or loss resulting from such Person' s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Indemnitors' obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any limitations on liability provided for in any of the Loan Documents. The covenants and agreements of Indemnitors set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the indemnity provided for herein): (a) are separate and distinct obligations from Indemnitors' obligations with respect to the Loan and under the Loan Documents and do not constitute the substantial equivalent of such obligations, (b) shall not be discharged or satisfied by foreclosure of the Mortgage or any Lien created by any of the other Loan Documents, and (c) shall continue in effect after any transfer of the Mortgaged Property, including transfers pursuant to foreclosure proceedings (whether judicial or nonjudicial), or by any deed in lieu of foreclosure. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages resulting from any claims brought directly by Lender, however, such indemnification shall include consequential and punitive damages arising in claims brought by third parties.
