14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: All terms, provisions, covenants and conditions to be
<br />observed and performed by Lessee shall be applicable to and binding upon Lessee's respective
<br />administrators, successors and assigns, subject, however, to the restrictions as to assignment or
<br />subletting by Lessee as provided herein. All express covenants of this Lease shall be deemed to
<br />be covenants running with the land.
<br />15. HOLD HARMLESS OF LESSOR
<br />(a) In consideration of the Leased Premises being leased to Lessee for the above Rents
<br />and the grant of an option to purchase, Lessee agrees, to the extent allowed by law that Lessee, at
<br />all times, will indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from all losses, damages, liabilities and
<br />expenses, which may arise or be claimed against Lessor and be in favor of Lessee, any persons,
<br />firms, corporations, governmental entities or any other entities, for any injuries or damages to the
<br />person or property of Lessee or any persons, firms, corporations or any other entities, consequent
<br />upon or arising from the use or occupancy of said Leased Premises by Lessee or consequent upon
<br />or arising from any acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees,
<br />licensees, visitors, customers, patrons or invitees or consequent upon or arising from Lessee's
<br />failure to comply with any laws, statutes, ordinances, codes or regulations as herein provided; that
<br />Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damages, losses or injuries to the persons or property
<br />of Lessee, its invitees, licensees or patrons, which may be caused by the acts, neglect, omissions
<br />or faults of any persons, firms, corporations, or other entities, except when such injury, loss or
<br />damage results solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents or
<br />employees. All personal property on, placed or moved into or on the Leased Premises shall be at
<br />the risk of Lessee or the owner thereof, and the Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damage
<br />to said personal property.
<br />(b) In case Lessor shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against, by or
<br />through Lessee, then to the extent allowed by law Lessee shall protect and hold Lessor harmless
<br />and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred or paid by Lessor as
<br />provided in Paragraph 6.
<br />(c) To the extent allowed by law the indemnity to and hold harmless of Lessor set forth
<br />above shall extend to and include any loss incurred by Lessor as a result of the deposition, escape
<br />or discovery of any pollutant or hazardous substance by Lessee, its agents or invitees during the
<br />Lease Term. The terms of this indemnity shall survive the closing of any sale of the property and
<br />the expiration of this Agreement.
<br />(d) Nothing in this section should constitute a waiver by Lessee of the defense of
<br />sovereign immunity.
<br />16. ATTORNEYS' FEES:
<br />(a) If either party allegedly defaults in the performance of any of the terms, provisions,
<br />covenants and conditions of this Agreement and by reason thereof the other parry employs the
<br />services of an attorney to enforce performance of the covenants, or to perform any service based
<br />upon such defaults, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other reasonable
<br />attorneys' fees and all expenses and costs incurred by the Prevailing Party pertaining thereto
<br />(including costs and fees relating to any arbitration, litigation or appeal and any other costs of
<br />collection), and in enforcement of any remedy.
