conducted in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation those laws,
regulations and ordinances described above. Borrower authorizes Lender and
its agents to enter upon the properties to make such inspections and tests as
Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the properties with
this section of the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall

for hazardous waste. Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future
claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower

be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights
and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity,
or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take
action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect
Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part
of this Agreement:
Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes
the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set
forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement
shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties
sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Applicable Law. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and accepted by
Lender in the State of New Jersey. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right
to any jury trial in any action or proceeding brought by either Lender or
Borrower against the other. Borrower waives all defenses and rights to
interpose any setoff or counterclaim of any nature, except only a defense
pertaining to the existence of an Event of Default. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
Jersey.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of
this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender' s sale
or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in
the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender.
Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more
purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may
have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and
Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with respect to such
matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of
participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such
participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such
participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such
interests in the Loans and will have all the rights granted under the
participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation
interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that
it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a
participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such
purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the Loans irrespective of
the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loans.
Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests
may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that
Borrower may have against Lender.
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's out-
of-pocket expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution, enforcement and collection of this Agreement or in
connection with the Loans made pursuant to this Agreement. Lender may pay
someone else to help collect the Loans and to enforce this Agreement, and
Borrower will pay that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under
applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether
or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgement collection services.
Such attorney's fees shall include both the fee of Lender's outside counsel
and the allocated cost of services of Lender's in-house counsel. Borrower
also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be given
in writing, may be sent by telefacsimilie, and shall be effective when
actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid,
addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address shown
above. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by
giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose
of the notice is to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, if there is more than one Borrower, notice to any Borrower
will constitute notice to all Borrowers. For notice purposes, Borrower will
keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current address(es).
No Joint Venture or Partnership. The relationship of Borrower and Lender
created by this Agreement is strictly that of debtor-creditor, and nothing
contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents shall be deemed
or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between Borrower and
Lender.
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any such
offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of
enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so
modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in
all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial
accommodations to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower in
this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower
to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery to Lender of the
Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on
Lender's behalf.
Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate
as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a
provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Lender' s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any
Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting
of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in all
cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of
Lender.
