Hazardous Materials shall include, without limitation, any substance, the presence of which on the Collateral, (A) requires reporting, investigation or remediation under Environmental Requirements; (B) causes or threatens to cause a nuisance on the Collateral or adjacent property or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health or safety of persons on the Collateral or adjacent property; or (C) which, if it emanated or migrated from the Collateral, could constitute a trespass. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Environmental Requirements” means all laws, ordinances, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, agreements, judgments, orders, and decrees, now or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or amended, of the United States, the states, the counties, the cities, or any other political subdivisions in which the Collateral is located, and any other political subdivision, agency or instrumentality exercising jurisdiction over the owner or operator of the Collateral, or the use of the Collateral, relating to pollution, the protection or regulation of human health, natural resources, or the environment, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or waste or Hazardous Materials into the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, ground water or land or soil).

Section 8.2 Release of Seller. Buyer hereby releases and forever discharges Seller, its agents, servants, directors, officers, employees, servicers, attorneys, successors, assigns and affiliates (all such persons being collectively referred to as the “Related Persons”), of and from any and all causes of action, claims, demands and remedies of whatsoever kind and nature that Buyer has or may in the future have against Seller or any Related Persons, and in any manner on account of, arising out of or related to the Loan purchased and the rights assigned hereunder except for claims or causes of action arising by reason of Seller’s breach of this Agreement (the Released Matters). It is the intention of Buyer that the foregoing general release shall be effective as a bar to all actions, causes of action, suits, claims or demands of every kind, nature or character whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, arising out of or in connection with the Released Matters.

 

13


Section 8.3 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c), Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller and all Related Persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), and each of them, from and against any and all losses, causes of action, liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and costs, to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject on account of, arising out of, or related to any act, omission, conduct or activity of Buyer or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, servants, shareholders, successors or assigns, on account of, arising out or related to (i) this Agreement, including, without limitation, the exercise of Buyer’s due diligence rights hereunder, (ii) the Loan purchased, the rights assigned and the obligations assumed hereunder, and (iii) the use, ownership, control, operation or condition of Collateral securing the Loan purchased hereunder, including without limitation, the presence or release of any Hazardous Materials or any other hazardous or toxic fluids, substances or materials on, under or about such Collateral.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action to which this Section 8.3 shall apply, the Indemnified Party shall notify Buyer in writing of the commencement of such action and of the possibility of a claim by the Indemnified Party against Buyer under this Section; however, failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify Buyer will not relieve Buyer of liability hereunder. Buyer shall be entitled to participate in such action and may, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of such action with counsel selected by Buyer with the approval of the Indemnified Party. After Buyer’s assumption of the defense, Buyer shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such action, unless (i) such expenses are incurred with the prior written approval of Buyer, or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that its interests may be adverse in whole or in part to those of Buyer and that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from, in addition to or inconsistent with defenses available to Buyer, in which case the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel and be indemnified by Buyer for all legal and other expenses and costs reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation and defense of the action.

(c) Buyer shall not be liable for the settlement of any action if such settlement is effected without Buyer’s express written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any action is settled with Buyer’s written consent or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnified Party in any action, Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnified Party from and against all loss or liability incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall continue to be entitled to the rights of indemnity, defense and to be held harmless provided to the “Lender” or any “Indemnitee” under and as defined in the Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right, title and interest of Buyer once Buyer has acquired the Loan and thereby become the “Lender” under and as defined in the Loan Documents, to all such rights of indemnity, defense and to be held harmless.

Section 8.4 Loan File. Seller has provided Buyer with access to copies of the Loan File. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, ALTHOUGH SELLER HAS ATTEMPTED TO PROVIDE BUYER ACCESS TO INFORMATION IN SELLER’S POSSESSION WHICH SELLER BELIEVED COULD BE RELEVANT, THE LOAN FILE WAS NOT PREPARED FOR BUYER OR TO BE RELIED UPON BY BUYER, THAT IT

 

14


MAY BE INCOMPLETE AND OUTDATED AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, OMISSIONS, AND INACCURATE AND CONFLICTING INFORMATION, AND THAT SELLER HAS NOT ATTEMPTED TO VERIFY, CORRECT OR RECONCILE THE INFORMATION IN THE LOAN FILE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 4, BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY REPORT OR DOCUMENT IN THE LOAN FILE WHICH MAY BE PROVIDED BY SELLER IS BEING PROVIDED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR SUFFICIENCY OF THE FACTS, ASSUMPTIONS OR CONCLUSIONS CONTAINED THEREIN; AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NEVER TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER, ITS RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR THE PREPARERS OF THE LOAN FILE WHICH COULD BE ALLEGEDLY BASED UPON RELIANCE ON THE LOAN FILE. BUYER HAS BEEN AND IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY ADVISED BY SELLER TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE IDENTIFICATION AND SUFFICIENCY OF THE COLLATERAL, THE VALUE AND CONDITION OF THE COLLATERAL, THE LIEN PRIORITY AND PERFECTION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OBTAINING TITLE SEARCHES AND/OR, IF OBTAINABLE, LENDER’S TITLE POLICY ENDORSEMENTS OR NEW LENDER’S TITLE POLICIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL), THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT ABILITY OF ANY CREDIT PARTY, THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL OTHER MATTERS) WHICH COULD AFFECT THE COLLECTABILITY AND VALUE OF THE NOTE AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ASSIGNED RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. If the Loan File were made available to Buyer through an electronic data room provided by Seller’s Broker, Seller agrees to maintain Buyer’s access to such electronic data room for at least ten (10) days after Closing.

ARTICLE 9

BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT

Section 9.1 Seller’s Breach. If Seller breaches this Agreement, the breach is discovered prior to Closing by Buyer and Buyer proceeds to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, Buyer shall have waived any and all damages resulting from Seller’s breach. If Seller breaches this Agreement and Buyer does not close the transactions contemplated hereunder, Buyer shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either: (a) commence an appropriate action for specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date, and diligently prosecute the same; or (b) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of the termination to Seller within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), and the Escrow Holder shall deliver the Deposit to Buyer, free of any claims by Seller. Buyer hereby waives any and all rights it may have at law or in equity to record a notice of pendency of action or similar notice on the title of any of the Collateral. In addition, Buyer may not recover any consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages resulting from Seller’s breach of this Agreement. Buyer’s damages for such breach may not exceed the amount of the Deposit.

Section 9.2 Buyer’s Breach. If Buyer defaults under this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity shall be to terminate this Agreement and to retain the Deposit in accordance with Sections 2.4 and 9.3. If Buyer defaults under this Agreement after Closing, Seller may, at Seller’s option, pursue all of Seller’s rights and remedies that Seller may have under this Agreement and at law; provided that Seller may not

 

15


recover any consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages resulting from Buyer’s breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Liquidated Damages. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (a) IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND (b) TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN SUCH EVENT. CONSEQUENTLY, IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO CLOSING, SELLER’ S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT.

 

Initials:
