Section 9. Events Authorizing Acceleration of Guaranty. Should any of the following Events of Default occur with respect to the Guarantor or with respect to the Borrower, the Partnership Guarantor or the Corporate Guarantor, the Lender may, in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion, immediately and without notice or demand accelerate and call due as to the Guarantor all Guaranteed Obligations: (a) the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction against or with respect to the Guarantor or the Borrower in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency or similar laws ordering the liquidation of the Guarantor or the Borrower or a reorganization of the Guarantor or Guarantor's business and affairs or of the Borrower or the Borrower's business and affairs or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, or similar official for the Guarantor or the Guarantor's property or for the Borrower or any of the Borrower's property and the failure to have such decree, order, or appointment discharged or dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry; (b) the commencement by the Guarantor or the Borrower of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency or similar laws or the consent by the Guarantor or the Borrower to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, or similar official for the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor's property or for the Borrower or any of the Borrower's property or the making by the Guarantor or the Borrower of any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) the entry of a judgment in excess of $10,000 against the Guarantor and the failure to satisfy such judgment within thirty (30) days (either by payment or by the filing of a supersedeas bond) unless such judgment has been appealed in good faith and the legal effect of such appeal is to stay the obligation to satisfy such judgment until resolution of the appeal; (d) a default by the Borrower in payment or in performance of the Borrower's obligations under the Note (together with the expiration of any applicable grace period); (e) a default by the Guarantor in any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty Agreement not specifically referred to in paragraphs (a) through (d) above; provided, however, that with respect to curable defaults only the Guarantor shall have failed to cure the same within thirty (30) days following written notice from the Lender; or (f) the occurrence of an Event of Default s defined in any of the Loan Documents; (g) the occurrence of an Event of Default in connection with any other loans made by Lender to Borrower, the Guarantor, the Partnership Guarantor or Corporate Guarantor or any loans made by the Lender or Lender's affiliates to any other person or entity guaranteed by the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Partnership Guarantor or the Corporate Guarantor; or (h) the death or incompetency of Guarantor or any person having a controlling interest in the Borrower, unless (i) a personal representative or guardian is appointed for such person or his estate within thirty (30) days after such person's death or incompetency (or within such longer period for such appointment as may be permitted under applicable law, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days after such person's death or incompetency), (ii) immediately following such appointment such personal representative or guardian causes such person's estate to affirmatively assume such person's estate to affirmatively assume such person's obligations hereunder, and (iii) such personal representative or guardian enters into an agreement in form and content satisfactory to the Lender in its sole discretion providing that no distribution of the assets of such person's estate shall be made, unless all Guaranteed Obligations due, and all obligations reasonably anticipated by the Lender to become Guaranteed Obligations, are performed.
Section 10. Confession of Judgment; Jurisdiction and Venue. At any time following issuance by the Lender to the Guarantor of notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder the Guarantor authorizes any attorney admitted to practice before any court of record in the United States to confess judgment on behalf of the Guarantor against the Guarantor, in the full amount due hereunder, plus attorneys' fees not to exceed five percent (5%) of such amount. (This provision shall not limit the obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor to pay all actual attorneys' fees incurred by the Lender.) In any action brought by the Lender under this Guaranty Agreement, Guarantor consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over it by the Courts of the State of Maryland and agrees that venue shall be proper in any County of the State of Maryland or in Baltimore City, or in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in addition to any other court where venue may be proper. The Guarantor waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, all errors and all rights of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition and extension upon any levy on real estate or personal property to which the Guarantor may otherwise be entitled under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or Possession of the United States of America now in force or which may hereafter be passed, as well as the benefit of any and every statute, ordinance, or rule of court which may be lawfully waived conferring upon the Guarantor any right or privilege of exemption, stay of execution, or supplementary proceedings, or other relief from the enforcement or immediate enforcement of a judgment or related proceedings on a judgment. The authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against the Guarantor shall be exercisable concurrently in one or more jurisdictions and shall not be exhausted or extinguished by one or more exercises thereof, or by any imperfect exercise thereof or by any judgment entered pursuant thereto. Such authority and power may be exercised on one or more occasions, from time to time, in the same or different jurisdictions, as often as the Lender shall deem necessary or desirable, for all of which this Guaranty Agreement shall be sufficient warrant.
Section 11. Expenses of Collection. Should this Guaranty Agreement or any claim hereunder be referred to an attorney for collection, whether or not judgment has been confessed or suit has been filed, the Guarantor shall pay all of the Lender's actual costs, fees (including actual attorneys' fees) and expenses resulting from such referral.
Section 12. Binding Nature. This Guaranty Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and the Lender's successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Guarantor and the Guarantor's personal representatives, heirs and assigns.
Section 13. Lender May Assign; Termination of Guaranty. This Guaranty Agreement may be assigned by the Lender, and shall terminate upon the performance by the Borrower and the Guarantor of all Guaranteed Obligations to the Lender's full and complete satisfaction as evidenced by a written confirmation from the Lender.

The Guarantor hereby waives any claim, as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code, which the Guarantor might now have or might hereafter acquire against the Borrower, including, but not limited to, claims arising by way of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution, extensions of credit or equity contributions, it being the intent of the parties that the Guarantor shall not be a creditor of the Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
