7. | ACQUISITION OF FEE TITLE TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY |

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Acceptable First Mortgage Financing” shall mean a mortgage loan, from an Institutional Lender, secured by the Mortgaged Property, the principal amount of which shall not exceed $10,000,000, and the interest rate, financial covenants and other material terms of which are reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(viii) | if Borrower’s fails to comply with the provisions of Article 7 hereof upon the acquisition by Borrower (or its Affiliate) of fee title to the Mortgaged Property by the foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of the foreclosure of the Mortgage; |
(ix) | if Borrower shall breach or fail to perform any of the terms, covenants, obligations or conditions of this Agreement, other than as specifically otherwise referred to in this definition of “Event of Default”, and such breach or failure to perform is not remedied within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Borrower from Lender, provided, however, that if such breach or failure is not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, then the time to cure shall be extended for an additional period, not to exceed sixty (60) days, so long as Borrower commences the curing of such default within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Borrower, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the curing thereof; or |
(x) | the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under any of the other Transaction Documents. |

In view of the nature of the Mortgage Loan, the parties agree that liquidation of the Purchased Loan does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating the Mortgage Loan, and nothing contained herein shall obligate Lender to liquidate the Mortgage Loan on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate the Purchased Loan in a particular manner or on a particular date. |

16. | NO WAIVERS, ETC. |
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.
22
17. | CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL |

The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

19. | INDEMNITY |
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and Lender’s officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all loss, cost, claim or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Collateral or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, by reason of Lender’s withholding of any request for consent to any act or matter under this Agreement); provided, that Borrower shall not be liable for loss, cost, claim or amount resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.
