6. Borrower Confirmation of Loan Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Transaction nor anything contained herein shall limit, impair, terminate or revoke the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, and such obligations shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the respective terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby ratifies and agrees to pay when due all sums due or to become due or owing under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and shall hereafter faithfully perform all of its obligations under and be bound by all of the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower has no offsets or defenses to its obligations under the Loan Documents and to the extent Borrower would be deemed to have any such offsets or defenses as of the date hereof, Borrower hereby knowingly waives and relinquishes such offsets or defenses.

7. Confirmation of Guaranty. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Transaction nor anything contained herein shall limit, impair, terminate or revoke the obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty, and such obligations shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Guaranty. Guarantor hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty and reaffirms its waiver of each and every one of the defenses to such obligations as set forth in the Guaranty.

8. Release. Each of Borrower and Guarantor, on behalf of itself and each of their respective past, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, representatives, advisors, servicers, attorneys and agents and each of their respective heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (including any successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial portion of any such Persons’ assets and business), each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges all Indemnified Parties from any and all Liabilities (including any Liabilities which any Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor as of the date hereof, which if known by such Releasing Party might have affected such Releasing Party’s release of an Indemnified Party, and including any Servicing Claims) that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the date hereof, which the Releasing Parties or any of them may have or which may hereafter be asserted or accrue against Indemnified Parties or any of them, resulting from or in any way relating to any act or omission done or committed by Indemnified Parties, or any of them, prior to the date hereof in each case connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents. The releases contained in this Section 8 apply to all Liabilities which the Releasing Parties or any of them have or which may hereafter arise against the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents, as a result of acts or omissions occurring before the date hereof, whether or not known or suspected by the parties hereto. Each of Borrower and Guarantor expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release does

USActive 27170400.5

not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the party released, each of Borrower and Guarantor has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower and Guarantor, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

This release by Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any Liability released pursuant to this release. Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by any Co-Lender or any other Indemnified Party that any Liability exists which is within the scope of those hereby released. This Section 8 shall survive the repayment and performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, and the reconveyance, foreclosure, or other extinguishment of any related security instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, by agreeing to this Section 8, Releasing Parties represent and acknowledge that none of them may seek to use any of the Liabilities released herein as a set-off of any other obligation that may exist between any Releasing Party and Indemnified Party. In addition, Liabilities released herein shall include any Releasing Party’s right to contribution or any other similar demand that might otherwise exist (and the terms of this sentence shall control over any conflicting provision in any other Loan Document).

In no event shall the provisions of this Section 8 be deemed to limit any other release of any Indemnified Parties under any other Loan Document and all such releases of any Indemnified Parties shall be read in the broadest possible manner notwithstanding anything contained herein.

9. Costs and Expenses. The following fees, costs and expenses charged or incurred by Lender in connection with the Transaction, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor and paid by Borrower or Guarantor on or prior to the date hereof: (i) attorney’s fees incurred by Lender’s counsel; (ii) any title insurance premiums or costs for endorsements, if any, required by Lender; and (iii) all related costs and expenses incurred by Lender. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon payment by Borrower of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses.

10. Notices. With respect to all notices or other written communications hereunder, such notice or written communication shall be given, and shall be deemed effective, pursuant to the Loan Documents, addressed as follows:
