PIZZA INN, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. (2) On March 28, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.06 per share on the Company's common stock, payable April 21, 2000 to shareholders of record on April 7, 2000. (3) The Company entered into an agreement effective March 31, 2000 with its current lender to extend the term of its existing $9.5 million revolving credit line through March 2002 and to modify certain financial covenants. In addition, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term note with monthly principal payments of $104,000 maturing on March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of .75%, or, at the Company's option, of the Eurodollar rate plus 1.5%. The Company has 120 days after the closing date to cause at least 50% of the outstanding principal amount to be subject to a fixed interest rate. (4) In June 1995, the Company adopted the par value method of accounting for treasury share purchases with the intent to retire the shares purchased. In December 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for treasury shares purchased, to the cost method because it is now the Company's intent to reissue a portion of the shares held in treasury. Accordingly, retained earnings and additional paid-in capital as of June 27, 1999 were adjusted by $13,195,000 and $2,556,000. In October 1999, the Company loaned $2,506,754 to certain officers of the Company in the form of promissory notes due in June 2004 to acquire 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock through the exercise of vested stock options previously granted to them in 1995 by the Company. The notes bear interest at the same floating interest rate the Company pays on its credit facility with Wells Fargo and are collaterized by certain real property and existing Company stock owned by the officers. The notes are reflected as a reduction to stockholders' equity. Common stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and treasury stock previously reported as of December 26, 1999 were adjusted as of March 26, 2000 by ($9,000), ($2,241,000), ($1,296,000) and $3,546,000, respectively, to reflect the issuance of these stock options out of treasury shares. The accounting for these options and this subsequent adjustment has no net effect on stockholders' equity. (5) The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS calculation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ----------------------- Quarter and nine months ended March 26, 2000 compared to the quarter and nine months ended March 28, 1999. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of the current fiscal year were $0.06 versus $0.07 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 26, 2000, diluted earnings per share increased 19% to $0.19 from $0.16 for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter decreased 16% to $673,000 from $800,000 for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended March 26, 2000, net income increased 10% to $2,164,000 from $1,974,000 compared to the same period last year. Food and supply sales for the quarter decreased slightly compared to the same period last year. For the nine month period, food and supply sales decreased to $43,555,000 from $43,835,000 for the same period last year. This decrease is the result of higher cheese prices in the first three quarters of the prior year. Excluding the extraordinary change in cheese prices, food and supply sales increased $1,436,000 year-to-date reflecting greater chainwide sales. Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and area development and foreign master license (collectively, "Territory") sales, increased $1,000 for the quarter and $19,000 for the nine month period, compared to the same periods last year. These increases include higher on-going domestic and international royalties of $129,000 due to higher chainwide sales, primarily offset by recognition of higher Territory sales in the prior year. Restaurant sales, which consists of revenue generated by Company-owned training stores, for the quarter increased 3% or $19,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. For the nine month period, restaurant sales increased 2% or $31,000. Sales for the nine month period were partially offset by the lease expiration and closing of one training Delco store in August 1998. Cost of sales remained consistent for the quarter and decreased 1% or $619,000 for the nine month period. This decrease is due to favorably lower cheese prices in the current year though partially offset by payroll costs which were capitalized as software development costs in the prior year. Additionally, transportation, depreciation and amortization costs were higher in the current year. As a percentage of sales for the quarter, cost of sales remained the same at 91%. For the nine months, cost of sales, as a percentage of sales decreased from 93% to 92%. Franchise expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of franchises and Territories. These costs decreased 4% or $21,000 for the quarter and 19% or $351,000 for the nine month period compared to the same periods last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower marketing expense and lower compensation expense relating to franchise sales. General and administrative expenses increased 19% or $147,000 for the quarter and increased 7% or $176,000 for the first nine months, compared to the same periods last year. This is a result of higher insurance costs, higher franchise and property taxes, and payroll costs that were capitalized as software development costs in the prior year. Interest expense increased 34% or $47,000 for the quarter and 28% or $109,000 for the first nine months, compared to the same period of the prior year. This is a result of higher average debt and slightly higher average interest rates. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company utilized cash provided by operations in the amount of $3,472,000, bank borrowings of $3,218,000, and a portion of its cash balances to purchase 942,000 shares of its own common stock for $3,424,000 and to pay dividends of $2,095,000 on the Company's common stock. Capital expenditures of $617,000 during the first nine months included computer equipment and upgrades, a cash register system for each of the three Company-owned stores, and leasehold improvements at the Company-owned stores, corporate office and distribution facility. The Company continues to realize substantial benefit from the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards (which currently total $7.5 million and expire in 2005) to reduce its federal tax liability from the 34% tax rate reflected on its statement of operations to an actual payment of approximately 2% of taxable income. Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize its net deferred tax asset balance ($4.8 million as of March 26, 2000) without reliance on material, non-routine income. Taxable income in future years at the current level would be sufficient for full realization of the net tax asset. The Company entered into an agreement effective March 31, 2000 with its current lender to extend the term of its existing $9.5 million revolving credit line through March 2002 and to modify certain financial covenants. In addition, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term note with monthly principal payments of $104,000 maturing on March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of .75%, or, at the Company's option, of the Eurodollar rate plus 1.5%. The Company has 120 days after the closing date to cause at least 50% of the outstanding principal amount to be subject to a fixed interest rate. This report contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the Company, as well as assumptions and estimates made by and information currently available to the Company's management.

EXCEPT - ---------------------- ------------------ AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE BANK AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) ANY BREACH BY THE BORROWER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON BUT NOT ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH PERSON.
Section XIV.3 Limitation of Liability - ---------------------- ----------------------------- None of the Bank, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent thereof shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except for such Person's willful misconduct, gross negligence or failure to comply with the express provisions of any of the Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Bank or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Section XIV.4 No Duty. All attorneys, - ---------------------- -------- accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by the Bank shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Bank and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's shareholders or any other Person. Section XIV.5 No Fiduciary Relationship --------------------- ---------------------------- The relationship between the Borrower and each Bank is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Bank does not have any fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Borrower and the Bank to be other than that of debtor and creditor. Section XIV.6 Equitable Relief. The - --------------------- ----------------- Borrower recognizes that in the event the Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Bank. The Borrower therefore agrees that the Bank, if the Bank so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Section XIV.7 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies - -------------------- ------------------------------- No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Section XIV.8 Successors; Assignment. - ----------------------- ---------------------- This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Bank and the Borrower and their respective successors and assigns; provided however, that (a) the Borrower may not assign or transfer its interest hereunder without Bank's prior written consent and (b) the Bank must give notice to the Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior to assigning its interest hereunder.

Each actual or proposed participant shall be entitled to receive all information received by the Bank regarding the Borrower, including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether the actual or proposed participant is subject to the circular or not).
Section XIV.10 Survival. All - ---------------------- -------- representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by the Bank or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of the Bank to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Borrower hereunder, the obligations of the Borrower under Article VI and Sections 14.1 ---------- ------------- and 14.2 shall survive repayment of the Notes and termination of the Revolving ---- Credit Commitment, the Term Commitment and the Real Estate Commitment. SECTION XIV.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS - ----------------- ----------------- AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. Section XIV.12 Amendments, Etc. No - ------------------ ---------------- amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, nor any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by the Bank and the Borrower, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Section XIV.13 Maximum Interest Rate - ---------------------- ----------------------- No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither the Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Bank ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes; and, if the principal of the Notes has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and each Bank shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
Section XIV.14 Notices. All notices and - ---------------------- ------- other communications provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall be given or made by telex, telegraph, telecopy, cable, or in writing and telexed, telecopied, telegraphed, cabled, mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party given in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex or telecopy, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or delivered to the telegraph or cable office, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, when duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to the Bank pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until received ---------- by the Bank. Section XIV.15 Governing Law; Venue; Service of Process - ----------------------- ------- ---------------------------------- This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. This Agreement has been entered into in Dallas County, Texas, and it shall be performable for all purposes in Dallas County, Texas. Any action or proceeding against the Borrower under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. The Borrower hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum. The Borrower agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.13. Nothing ------------- herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect the right of the Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Bank to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions. Any action or proceeding by the Borrower against the Agent or any Bank shall be brought only in a court located in Dallas County, Texas. Section XIV.16 Arbitration. ----------- -----------
(a) Arbitration. Upon the demand of any party, any Dispute shall be ----------- resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in subsection (e) below) in -------------- accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action, ------- dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising under or in connection with, or in any way pertaining to, any of the Loan Documents, or any past, present or future extensions of credit and other activities, transactions or obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in connection with the exercise of any self-help, ancillary or other remedies pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Any party may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. (b) Governing Rules. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by ---------------- the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator as the --- parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the Loan Documents. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in Texas selected by the AAA or other administrator. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. 91 or any similar applicable state law. (c) No Waiver; Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No -------------------------------------------------------------- provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including without limitation injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive the right of any party to compel arbitration hereunder.
(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers Awards. Arbitrators must be --------------------------------------------- active members of the Texas State Bar with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the substantive law of the state of Texas, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a court of the state of Texas could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. (e) Judicial Review. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ---------------- in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitration (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the substantive law of the state of Texas, and (iii) the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award the right to judicial review of (A) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (B) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the substantive law of the state of Texas. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the substantive law of the state of Texas. (f) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the ------------- arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceedings within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulations, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provisions most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties. Section XIV.17 Counterparts. This - ---------------------- ------------ Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section XIV.22 Independence of Covenants ------------------- ------------------------- All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists. SECTION XIV.23 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL ----------------------- ----------------------- TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE BANK IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. SECTION XIV.24 NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION - ---------------------- -------------------------- THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.2 HEREOF. ---------
