(a) Each of the warranties and representations of such Subtenant contained herein, in Amended Lease No. 4 or in any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith are true and correct on the date hereof.

(b) Except for the lien granted to the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement and any liens permitted under Amended Lease No. 4, such Subtenant is, and as to the Collateral acquired from time to time after the date hereof such Subtenant will be, the owner of all the Collateral free from any lien, security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person, except for the security interest of the Secured Party therein, and such Subtenant shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured

Party. The lien granted in this Agreement by such Subtenant to the Secured Party in the Collateral is not prohibited by and does not constitute a default under any agreements or other instruments constituting a part of the Collateral, and no consent is required of any Person to effect such lien which has not been obtained.

(c) Except as permitted under Amended Lease No. 4, there is no financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) now on file or registered in any public office covering any interest of any kind in the Collateral, or intended so to be, which has not been terminated, and so long as this Agreement remains in effect or any of the Obligations or any obligations of any Affiliated Person of such Subtenant to the Secured Party remain unpaid, such Subtenant will not execute and there will not be on file in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interest of the Secured Party.

(d) The chief executive office and the principal place of business of such Subtenant are as set forth in Schedule 1 and such Subtenant will not move its chief executive office or establish any other principal place of business except to such new location as such Subtenant may establish in accordance with this Section 3(d). The location of each Facility comprising a portion of the Leased Property is as set forth in Schedule 2. The originals of all documents evidencing Collateral and the only original books of account and records of such Subtenant relating thereto are, and will continue to be, kept at such chief executive office or the applicable Facility, as the case may be, or at such new location as such Subtenant may establish in accordance with this Section 3(d). Such Subtenant shall not move its chief executive office or establish any other principal place of business until (i) such Subtenant shall have given to the Secured Party not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so, which notice shall clearly describe such new location and provide such other information in connection therewith as the Secured Party may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new location, such Subtenant shall have taken such action, satisfactory to the Secured Party (including, without limitation, all action required by Section 5), to maintain the security interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral.

(e) All tangible personal property owned on the date hereof by such Subtenant to be used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, is located at each applicable Property or is in transit to such Property from the vendor thereof.

(f) Such Subtenant’s corporate name and organizational identification number are as set forth on the signature page hereto. The name under which each of the Facilities is operated is set forth on Schedule 2. Such Subtenant shall not (i) change such name without providing the Secured Party with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and making all filings and taking all such other actions as the Secured Party determines are necessary or appropriate to continue or perfect the security interest granted hereunder, (ii) change its corporate organizational number, nor (iii) conduct its business in any other name or take title to any Collateral in any other name while this Agreement remains in effect. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 1, such Subtenant has not ever had any other name nor conducted business in any other name in any jurisdiction. Such Subtenant is organized as a Maryland limited liability company. Subject to the terms and conditions of Amended Lease No. 4, such Subtenant shall not change its organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization without giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Secured Party.

(g) The Secured Party is authorized (but is under no obligation) to make, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to such Subtenant (except in the case of exigent circumstances, in which circumstances upon such notice, if any, as may then be reasonably practical), any payments which in the Secured Party’s opinion are necessary to:

(i) discharge any liens which have or may take priority over the lien hereof; and

(ii) pay all premiums payable on the insurance policies referred to in Amended Lease No. 4 or any other document or agreement executed in connection therewith or herewith, upon the failure of such Subtenant to make such payments within the time permitted therein.

Such Subtenant shall have no claim against the Secured Party by reason of its decision not to make any payments or perform such obligations permitted under this Section 3(g). Such Subtenant shall repay to the Secured Party any sums paid by the Secured Party upon demand. Any sums paid and expenses incurred by the Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate.

(i) Such Subtenant shall not sell, transfer, change the registration, if any, of, dispose of, attempt to dispose of, or substantially modify or abandon the Collateral or any material part thereof, other than as permitted under Amended Lease No. 4, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. Except as permitted under Amended Lease No. 4, such Subtenant shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

(j) Such Subtenant shall not assert against the Secured Party any claim or defense which such Subtenant may have against any seller of the Collateral or any part thereof or against any Person with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof.

(k) Such Subtenant shall, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder and under such other agreements or (iv) the failure by such Subtenant to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(l) Such Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Secured Party in any way relating to or arising out

of this Agreement or arising out of such Subtenant’s obligations under any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents.

4. Special Provisions Concerning Equipment. No Subtenant shall impair the rights of the Secured Party in the Equipment. Regardless of the manner of the affixation of any Equipment to real property, the Equipment so attached shall at all times constitute and remain personal property. Each Subtenant retains all liability and responsibility in connection with the Equipment and the liability of each Subtenant to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Equipment may be lost, destroyed, stolen or damaged or for any reason whatsoever have become unavailable to each Subtenant. Upon the request of the Secured Party, each Subtenant shall provide to the Secured Party a current list of Equipment.

5. Financing Statements; Documentary Stamp Taxes.

(a) Each Subtenant shall, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Secured Party from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of inventory, warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Secured Party reasonably deem appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect their security interest in the Collateral. Each Subtenant authorizes the Secured Party to file any such financing statements without the signature of such Subtenant and each Subtenant will pay all applicable filing fees and related expenses. To the extent permitted by law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(b) Each Subtenant shall procure, pay for, affix to any and all documents and cancel any documentary tax stamps required by and in accordance with, applicable law, and each Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party from and against any liability (including interest and penalties) in respect of such documentary stamp taxes.

legal process, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, are, or may be, placed or assembled, and to remove any such Collateral;

(iii) from time to time, at the expense of each Subtenant, to make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably deem proper; to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of each Subtenant in respect to the Collateral, as the Secured Party shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the leasing, management and/or operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Secured Party may see fit; to collect and receive all rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof which rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income may be applied to pay the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Secured Party may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Secured Party may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs and attorneys’ fees);

(iv) to execute any instrument and do all other things necessary and proper to protect and preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby;

(vi) without obligation to resort to other security, at any time and from time to time, to sell, re-sell, assign and deliver all or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and on such terms as the Secured Party may determine, with the amounts realized from any such sale to be applied to the Secured Obligations in the manner determined by the Secured Party.

Each Subtenant hereby agrees that all of the foregoing may be effected without demand, advertisement or notice (except as hereinafter provided or as may be required by law), all of which (except as hereinafter provided) are hereby expressly waived, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to do any of the acts hereinabove authorized and in the event that the Secured Party elect to do any such act, the Secured Party shall not be responsible to each Subtenant.

(v) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, each Subtenant agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sold, now or at any time

hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other document, Amended Lease No. 4 or any other document or agreement entered into in connection herewith or therewith, and each Subtenant hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the Secured Party in this Agreement, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in force.

In the event of any sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7, the Secured Party shall, at least ten (10) days before such sale, give the applicable Subtenant written notice of its intention to sell, except that, if the Secured Party shall determine in its reasonable discretion that any of the Collateral threatens to decline in value, any such sale may be made upon three (3) days’ written notice to such Subtenant, which time periods each Subtenant hereby agrees are reasonable.

(d) The Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Subtenant in its name and stead, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer of the property sold pursuant to this Section 7 and for such other purposes as are necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement, and for that purpose it may execute and deliver all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, each Subtenant hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney, or such substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. If so requested by the Secured Party or by any purchaser, each Subtenant shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to the Secured Party or to such purchaser all property, deeds, bills of sale, instruments or assignment and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

8. Application of Moneys. All moneys which the Secured Party shall receive pursuant hereto shall first be applied (to the extent thereof) to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the administration and enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, this Agreement or Amended Lease No. 4 (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and agents)

and the balance, if any, shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest, charges and fees on, and then to outstanding principal of, any Obligations of each Subtenant (or its affiliates) to the Secured Party, and then to any other amounts outstanding on any such Obligations and then as required by law to any other parties having an interest therein.

9. Waivers, Etc. Each Subtenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and, except as is otherwise specifically provided herein, all other demands and notices in connection with this Agreement or the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder or in connection with any Obligations or any Collateral; waives all rights to require a marshaling of assets by the Secured Party; consents to and waives notice of (i) the substitution, release or surrender of any Collateral, (ii) the addition or release of Persons primarily or secondarily liable on any Obligation or on any Collateral, (iii) the acceptance of partial payments on any Collateral and/or the settlement or compromise thereof, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part of the Secured Party in the enforcement of any rights in respect of any Collateral or any other agreement or instrument directly or indirectly relating thereto, and (v) any enforcement of any present or future agreement or instrument relating directly or indirectly to the Collateral. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party or any holder of Obligations in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder. No waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any future occasion. No course of dealing between either Subtenant and the Secured Party or any holder of Obligations, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party or any holder of Obligations, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Each Subtenant further waives any right it may have under the constitution of any state or commonwealth in which any of the Collateral may be located, or under the Constitution of the United States of America, to notice (except for notice specifically required hereby) or to a judicial hearing prior to the exercise of any right or remedy provided by this Agreement to the Secured Party, and waives its rights, if any, to set

aside or invalidate any sale duly consummated in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof on the grounds (if such be the case) that the sale was consummated without a prior judicial hearing. EACH SUBTENANT’S WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 9 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY AND AFTER EACH SUBTENANT HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEYS AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.

The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including without limitation this Agreement and the Collateral pledged hereunder), or guaranties of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order; and all of the rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Subtenant hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral, which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’ rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Subtenant hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

10. Further Assurances as to Collateral; Attorney-in-Fact. From time to time hereafter, each Subtenant will execute and deliver, or will cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or documents (including, without limitation, financing statements, renewal statements, mortgages, collateral assignments and other security documents), and will take all such actions as the Secured Party may reasonably request, for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement or of more fully perfecting or renewing the Secured Party’s rights with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by either Subtenant which may be deemed to be a part of the Collateral) pursuant hereto and thereto. The Secured Party is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, of each Subtenant for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action, including, without limitation, executing, delivering and filing applications, certificates, instruments and other documents and papers with governmental authorities, and executing any instruments, including without limitation financing or continuation statements, deeds to secure

debt, mortgages, assignments, conveyances, assignments and transfers which are required to be taken or executed by each Subtenant under this Agreement, on its behalf and in its name which appointment is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and durable and shall survive the subsequent dissolution, disability or incapacity of each Subtenant.

11. Arbitration. The Secured Party or either Subtenant may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder. Any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

In the event the Secured Party or either Subtenant shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Secured Party and such Subtenant shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute. Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator. If either the Secured Party or the applicable Subtenant shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator. If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.

(c) None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each Subtenant and the Secured Parties.

(d) The obligations of each Subtenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of each Subtenant; (ii) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement, Amended Lease No. 4 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations; or (iii) any amendment to or modification of any of Amended Lease No. 4 or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the

Obligations; whether or not such Subtenant shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
