$2,475,000 January __, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GRAPHIC INDUSTRIES, INC., a Georgia corporation
("BORROWER"), promises to pay to the order of MetLife Capital Financial
Corporation ("METLIFE") at METLIFE's office at 00000 X.X. 4th St., Suite 500,
Bellevue, Washington 98004, attention: Real Estate Department, or at such other
address as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the
principal sum of TWO MILLION FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
($2,475,000) together with interest from the date the proceeds of the loan (the
"Loan") evidenced by this Promissory Note (this "Note") are initially disbursed
until maturity on the principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid
hereon at the rate of eight and seventy-five hundredths percent (8.75%) per
annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) consecutive thirty
(30)-day months) in installments as follows: (i) interest only in advance at
the rate of $601.56 per day shall be due and payable on the date the proceeds of
the Loan are initially disbursed to or for the benefit of BORROWER (including,
without limitation, disbursement into an escrow for the benefit of BORROWER) for
the period beginning on the date of such disbursement and ending on the last day
of the month during which such disbursement occurs; and (ii) one hundred
seventy-nine (179) installments of principal and interest in the amount of
Twenty-Four Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty-Six and thirty-five hundredths Dollars
($24,736.35) each shall be payable commencing on the first day of the second
month following the month in which the proceeds of the loan evidenced by this
Note are initially disbursed and continuing on the first day of each and every
succeeding month until the first day of the one hundred eightieth (180th) month
following the date the proceeds of the Loan are initially disbursed at which
time all then unpaid principal and interest hereon shall be due and payable.
If any payment shall not be paid when due and shall remain unpaid for
ten (10) days, BORROWER shall pay an additional charge equal to five percent
(5.00%) of the delinquent payment or the highest additional charge permitted by
law, whichever is less.
Upon not less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice to METLIFE
at any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the due date of the first
monthly principal and interest payment due under this Note, and upon payment of
the Prepayment Premium, BORROWER shall have the right to prepay all, but not
less than all, of the outstanding balance of this Note on any regularly
scheduled principal and interest payment date. The Prepayment Premium shall be
determined by (i) calculating the decrease (expressed in basis points) in the
current weekly average yield of ten (10)-year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturities
(as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 [519]) (the "Index")
----------------------------------------------
from November 8, 1996, to the Friday immediately preceding the week in which the
prepayment is made, (ii) dividing the decrease by 100, (iii) multiplying the
result by the following described applicable premium factor (the "Premium
Factor"), and (iv) multiplying the product by the principal balance to be
prepaid. If the Index is unchanged or has increased from November 8, 1996, to
the Friday immediately preceding the prepayment date, no Prepayment Premium
shall be due. The Premium Factor shall be the amount shown on the following
chart for the month in which prepayment occurs:

--------- --------- -------
180 - 169 (15) .073
168 - 157 (14) .069

If the Federal Reserve Board ceases to publish Statistical Release H.15 [519],
------------------------------
then the decrease in the weekly average yield of ten (10)-year U.S. Treasury
Constant Maturities will be determined from another source designated by
METLIFE. Voluntary prepayment prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the due
date of the first monthly principal and interest payment due under this Note
will be permitted only in the event of a sale of the Property (as hereinafter
defined) to a bona-fide third party and only upon payment of the Prepayment
Premium set forth above
If METLIFE at any time accelerates this Note after an Event of Default
(defined below), then BORROWER shall be obligated to pay the Prepayment Premium
in accordance with the foregoing schedule. The Prepayment Premium shall not be
payable with respect to condemnation awards or insurance proceeds from fire or
other casualty which METLIFE applies to prepayment, nor with respect to
XXXXXXXX's prepayment of the Note in full during the last three (3) months of
the term of this Note unless an Event of Default has occurred. BORROWER
expressly acknowledges that such Prepayment Premium is not a penalty but is
intended solely to compensate METLIFE for the loss of its bargain and the
reimbursement of internal expenses and administrative fees and expenses incurred
by METLIFE.

This Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws

submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Maryland in
any action or proceeding brought to enforce or otherwise arising out of or
relating to this Note, and hereby waives any objection to venue in any such
court and any claim that such forum is an inconvenient forum.
This Note is given in a commercial transaction for business purposes.
This Note may be declared due prior to its expressed maturity date,
all in the events, on the terms, and in the manner provided for in the Deed of
Trust.
BORROWER, Guarantor, and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and
other parties now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note, in whole or
in part, hereby severally (i) waive demand, notice of demand,

notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and
all other notices, and further waive diligence in collecting this Note or in
enforcing any of the security for this Note; (ii) agree to any substitution,
subordination, exchange or release of any security for this Note or the release

METLIFE with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note,
even if BORROWER is not a party to such agreement.
All agreements between BORROWER and METLIFE, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no
contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the final maturity
of this Note or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received,
paid or agreed to be paid to METLIFE exceed the maximum amount permissible under
the applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would
otherwise be payable to METLIFE in excess of the maximum amount permissible
under applicable law, the interest payable to METLIFE shall be reduced to the
maximum amount permissible under applicable law; and if from any circumstance
METLIFE shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law
in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable law, an amount
equal to the excessive interest or if such excessive amount of interest exceeds
the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to
BORROWER. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to METLIFE shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full period (including any renewal or extension) until
payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full
period shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.
METLIFE expressly disavows any intent to contract for, charge or receive
interest in an amount which exceeds the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between BORROWER
and METLIFE.
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE SIGNING. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD

its duly authorized officers as of the year and day first written above.

HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,475,000), with interest thereon at the rate of

Should the indebtedness be paid according to the tenor and effect
thereof where the same shall become due and payable, and should Guarantor
perform all covenants herein contained in a timely manner, then this Deed of
Trust is satisfied, and METLIFE shall execute a proper cancellation at the
expense of Guarantor.
This conveyance is intended to constitute a security agreement as
required under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Maryland.
Xxxxxx's and Secured Party's addresses and the location of the collateral are
set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
----------
Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor has good, marketable
and insurable title to, and has the right to mortgage an indefeasible fee simple
estate in, the Premises, Improvements, rents, and leases and the right to convey
the other Property, that the Property is unencumbered except as disclosed in
writing to and approved by METLIFE prior to the date hereof, and that Guarantor
will warrant and forever defend the title to the Property against all claims and
demands, subject only to the permitted exceptions set forth in Schedule 2
----------
attached hereto.
Guarantor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees for the benefit
of METLIFE as follows:
1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Guarantor shall promptly pay
---------------------------------
when due all sums due under the Guaranty and all other sums secured by this Deed
of Trust.
2. FUNDS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES. Upon the occurrence
--------------------------------------------
of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), and at METLIFE's sole option at
any time thereafter, Guarantor shall pay in addition to each monthly payment on
the Note, one-twelfth of the annual real estate taxes, insurance premiums,
assessments, water and sewer rates, ground rents and other charges (herein
"Impositions") payable with respect to the Property (as estimated by METLIFE in
its sole discretion), to be held by METLIFE without interest to Guarantor, for
the payment of such obligations.
If the amount of such additional payments held by METLIFE ("Funds") at
the time of the annual accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed
necessary by METLIFE to provide for the payment of Impositions as they fall due,
such excess shall be at Guarantor's option, either repaid to Guarantor or
credited to Guarantor on the next monthly installment or installments of Funds
due. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by METLIFE shall be less than
the amount deemed necessary by METLIFE to pay Impositions as they fall due,
Guarantor shall pay to METLIFE any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
within thirty (30) days after notice from METLIFE to Guarantor requesting
payment thereof.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, METLIFE may apply, in any
amount and in any order as METLIFE shall determine in METLIFE's sole discretion,
any Funds held by METLIFE at the time of application (i) to pay Impositions
which are now or will hereafter become due, or (ii) as a credit against sums
secured by this Deed of Trust. Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this
Deed of Trust, METLIFE shall refund to Guarantor any Funds held by METLIFE.
3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Unless applicable law provides
-----------------------
otherwise, each complete installment payment received by METLIFE under the Note
or this Deed of Trust shall be applied by
3
METLIFE first in payment of amounts payable to METLIFE by Guarantor under
Section 2 hereof, then to interest payable on the Note, then to principal of the
---------
Note, and then to interest and principal on any Future Advances in such order as
METLIFE, at METLIFE's sole discretion, shall determine. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, METLIFE may apply, in any amount and in any order as
METLIFE shall determine in METLIFE's sole discretion, any payments received by
METLIFE under the Note or this Deed of Trust. Any partial payment received by
METLIFE shall, at METLIFE's option, be held in a non-interest bearing account
until METLIFE receives funds sufficient to equal a complete installment payment.
4. CHARGES, LIENS. Guarantor shall pay all Impositions attributable
--------------
to the Property in the manner provided under Section 2 hereof or, if not paid in
---------
such manner, by Guarantor making payment, when due, directly to the payee
thereof, or in such other manner as METLIFE may designate in writing. If
requested by METLIFE, Guarantor shall promptly furnish to METLIFE all notices of
Impositions which become due, and in the event Guarantor shall make payment
directly, Guarantor shall promptly furnish to METLIFE receipts evidencing such
payments. Guarantor shall promptly discharge any lien which has, or may have,
priority over or equality with, the lien of this Deed of Trust, and Guarantor
shall pay, when due, the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to
or in connection with the Property. Without METLIFE's prior written permission,
Guarantor shall not allow any lien inferior to this Deed of Trust to be
perfected against the Property. If any lien inferior to this Deed of Trust is
filed against the Property without METLIFE's prior written permission and
without the consent of Guarantor, Guarantor shall, within thirty (30) days after
receiving notice of the filing of such lien, cause such lien to be released of
record and deliver evidence of such release to METLIFE.
5. INSURANCE. Guarantor shall obtain and maintain the following
---------
types of insurance upon and relating to the Property:
(a) "All Risk" property and fire insurance (with extended coverage
endorsement including malicious mischief and vandalism) in an amount not less
than the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the Note or the full
replacement value of the Property (with a deductible not to exceed $25,000 and
with co-insurance limited to a maximum of 10% of the amount of the policy),
naming METLIFE under a lender's loss payee endorsement (form 438BFU or
equivalent) and including agreed amount, inflation guard, replacement cost and
waiver of subrogation endorsements;
(b) Comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate insuring against
personal injury, death and property damage and naming METLIFE as additional
insured;
(c) Business interruption insurance covering loss of rental or other
income (including all expenses payable by tenants) for up to six (6) months; and
(d) Such other types of insurance or endorsements to existing
insurance as may be required from time to time by METLIFE.
Upon the request of METLIFE, Guarantor shall increase the coverages
under any of the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder or
otherwise modify such policies in accordance with METLIFE's request. All of the
insurance policies required hereunder shall be issued by corporate insurers
licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and rated
A:X or better by A.M. Best Company, and shall be in form acceptable to METLIFE.
If and to the extent that the Property is located within an area that has been
or is hereafter designated or identified as an area having special flood hazards
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development or such other official as
shall from time to time be authorized by federal or state law to make such
designation pursuant to any national or state program of flood insurance,
Guarantor shall carry flood insurance with respect to the Property in amounts
not less than the maximum limit of coverage then available with respect to the
Property or the amount of the Indebtedness, whichever is less. Certificates of
all insurance required to be maintained hereunder shall be delivered to METLIFE,
along with evidence of payment in full of all premiums required
4
xxxxxxxxxx, contemporaneously with Xxxxxxxxx's execution of this Deed of Trust.
All such certificates shall be in form acceptable to METLIFE and shall require
the insurance company to give to METLIFE at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice before canceling the policy for any reason or materially amending
it. Certificates evidencing all renewal and substitute policies of insurance
shall be delivered to METLIFE, along with evidence of the payment in full of all
premiums required thereunder, at least fifteen (15) days before termination of
the policies being renewed or substituted. If any loss shall occur at any time
when Guarantor shall be in default hereunder, METLIFE shall be entitled to the
benefit of all insurance policies held or maintained by Guarantor, to the same
extent as if same had been made payable to METLIFE, and upon foreclosure
hereunder, METLIFE shall become the owner thereof. METLIFE shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to make premium payments, at Guarantor's expense, to
prevent any cancellation, endorsement, alteration or reissuance of any policy of
insurance maintained by Guarantor, and such payments shall be accepted by the
insurer to prevent same.
If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any casualty
for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or
destruction of the Property (such event being called a "Loss"), Guarantor will
give prompt written notice thereof to METLIFE. All insurance proceeds paid or
payable in connection with any Loss shall be paid to METLIFE. If (i) no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (ii) Guarantor provides
evidence satisfactory to METLIFE of its ability to pay all amounts becoming due
under the Note during the pendency of any restoration or repairs to or
replacement of the Property, (iii) the available insurance proceeds are, in
METLIFE's judgment, sufficient to fully and completely restore, repair or
replace the Property, and (iv) Guarantor provides evidence satisfactory to
METLIFE that none of the tenants of the Property will terminate their lease
agreements as a result of either the Loss or the repairs to or replacement of
the Property, Guarantor shall have the right to apply all insurance proceeds
received in connection with such Loss either (a) to restore, repair, replace and
rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character
immediately prior to such Loss, or (b) to the payment of the Indebtedness in
such order as METLIFE may elect. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder at the time of such Loss, if METLIFE determines that
Guarantor will be unable to pay all amounts becoming due under the Note during
the pendency of any restoration or repairs to or replacement of the Property, if
the available insurance proceeds are insufficient, in METLIFE's judgment, to
fully and completely restore, repair or replace the Property or if METLIFE
believes that one or more tenants of the Property will terminate their lease
agreements as a result of either the Loss or the repairs to or replacement of
the Property, then all of the insurance proceeds payable with respect to such
Loss will be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, or if so instructed by
METLIFE, Guarantor will promptly, at Guarantor's sole cost and expense and
regardless of whether sufficient insurance proceeds shall be available, commence
to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to
its value, condition, character immediately prior to such Loss. Guarantor shall
diligently prosecute any restoration, repairs or replacement of the Property
undertaken by or on behalf of Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5. All such
----------
work shall be conducted pursuant to written contracts approved by METLIFE in
writing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the
event the insurance proceeds received by METLIFE following any Loss are
insufficient in METLIFE's judgment to fully and completely restore, repair or
replace the Property, and if Guarantor has complied with all of the other
conditions described in this Section 5, Guarantor may elect to restore, repair
---------
or replace the Property if it first deposits with METLIFE such additional sums
as METLIFE determines are necessary in order to fully and completely restore,
repair or replace the Property. In the event any insurance proceeds remain
following the restoration, repair or replacement of the Property, such proceeds
shall be applied to the Indebtedness in such order as METLIFE may elect.
6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Guarantor (a) shall not
----------------------------------------
commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property, (b) shall
not abandon the Property, (c) shall restore or repair promptly and in a good and
workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its
original condition, or such other condition as METLIFE may approve in writing,
in the event of any damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance
proceeds are available to cover in whole or in part the costs of such
restoration or repair, (d) shall keep the Property, including all improvements,
fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances thereon, in good repair and shall
replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when
necessary to keep such items in good repair, (e) shall comply with all laws,
ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body applicable to
the Property, (f) if all or part of the Property is for rent or
5
lease, then METLIFE, at its option after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
may require Guarantor to provide for professional management of the Property by
a property manager satisfactory to METLIFE pursuant to a contract approved by
METLIFE in writing, unless such requirement shall be waived by METLIFE in
writing, (g) shall generally operate and maintain the Property in a manner to
ensure maximum rentals, and (h) shall give notice in writing to METLIFE of and,
unless otherwise directed in writing by METLIFE, appear in and defend any action
or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the security of this Deed of
Trust or the rights or powers of METLIFE hereunder. Neither Guarantor nor any
tenant or other person, without the written approval of METLIFE, shall remove,
demolish or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the
Property or any fixture, equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the Property
except when incident to the replacement of fixtures, equipment, machinery and
appliances with items of like kind.
Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that the Property is and
shall be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and all
of the regulations promulgated thereunder, as the same may be amended from time
to time.
7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless
---------------
METLIFE has otherwise agreed in writing, Guarantor shall not allow changes in
the use for which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time this
Deed of Trust was executed. Guarantor shall not, without METLIFE's prior
written consent, (i) initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning
classification (including any variance under any existing zoning ordinance
applicable to the Property), (ii) permit the use of the Property to become a
non-conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances, (iii) file any
subdivision or parcel map affecting the Property, or (iv) amend, modify or
consent to any easement or covenants, conditions and restrictions pertaining to
the Property.
8. PROTECTION OF METLIFE'S SECURITY. If Guarantor fails to perform
--------------------------------
any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, or if any
action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or
the interest of METLIFE therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain,
insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a
bankrupt or decedent, then METLIFE at METLIFE's option may make such
appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as METLIFE deems necessary,
in its sole discretion, to protect METLIFE's interest, including, but not
limited to, (i) disbursement of attorneys' fees, (ii) entry upon the Property to
make repairs, and (iii) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided in
Section 5 hereof.
---------
Any amounts disbursed by METLIFE pursuant to this Section 8, with
---------
interest thereon, shall become additional Indebtedness of Guarantor secured by
this Deed of Trust. Unless Guarantor and METLIFE agree to other terms of
payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the highest rate which may be
collected from Guarantor under applicable law or, at METLIFE's option, the rate
stated in the Note. Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that METLIFE shall be
subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in whole or in
part, by the Indebtedness. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require
---------
METLIFE to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
9. INSPECTION. METLIFE may make or cause to be made reasonable
----------
entries upon the Property to inspect the interior and exterior thereof.
10. FINANCIAL DATA. Guarantor will furnish to METLIFE within one
--------------
hundred twenty (120) days after the close of its fiscal year (i) current
financial statements of Borrower, including a balance sheet and profit and loss
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and practices consistently applied and, if METLIFE so requires, accompanied by
the annual audit report of an independent certified public accountant reasonably
acceptable to METLIFE, (ii) if requested by METLIFE, an annual operating
statement, together with other supporting data reflecting all material
information with respect to the operation of the Property and Improvements
during the period covered thereby, and (iii) all other financial information and
reports that METLIFE may from time to time reasonably request.
6
11. CONDEMNATION. If the Property, or any part thereof, shall be
------------
condemned for any reason, including without limitation fire or earthquake
damage, or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under the power of
eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof, all damages or other amounts
awarded for the taking of, or injury to, the Property shall be paid to METLIFE
who shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply the
amounts so received against (a) the costs and expenses of METLIFE, including
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with collection of such
amounts, and (b) the balance against the Indebtedness; provided, however, that
if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder,
(ii) Guarantor provides evidence satisfactory to METLIFE of its ability to pay
all amounts becoming due under the Note during the pendency of any restoration
or repairs to or replacement of the Property, (iii) METLIFE determines, in its
sole discretion, that the proceeds of such award are sufficient to restore,
repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value,
condition and character immediately prior to such taking (or, if the proceeds of
such award are insufficient for such purpose, if Guarantor provides additional
sums to METLIFE's satisfaction so that the aggregate of such sums and the
proceeds of such award will be sufficient for such purpose), and (iv) Guarantor
provides evidence satisfactory to METLIFE that none of the tenants of the
Property will terminate their lease agreements as a result of either the
condemnation or taking or the repairs to or replacement of the Property, the
proceeds of such award, together with additional sums provided by Guarantor,
shall be placed in a separate account for the benefit of METLIFE and Guarantor
to be used to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as
possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking.
All work to be performed in connection therewith shall be pursuant to a written
contract therefor, which contract shall be subject to the prior approval of
METLIFE. To the extent that any funds remain after the Property has been so
restored and repaired, the same shall be applied against the Indebtedness in
such order as METLIFE may elect. To enforce its rights hereunder, METLIFE shall
be entitled to participate in and control any condemnation proceedings and to be
represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Guarantor will deliver, or
cause to be delivered to METLIFE such instruments as may be requested by it from
time to time to permit such participation. In the event METLIFE, as a result of
any such judgment, decree or award, believes that the payment or performance of
any of the Indebtedness is impaired, METLIFE may declare all of the Indebtedness
immediately due and payable.
12. GUARANTOR AND LIEN NOT RELEASED. From time to time, METLIFE may,
-------------------------------
at METLIFE's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Guarantor, Guarantor's successors or assigns or of any junior lienholder or
guarantors, without liability on METLIFE's part and notwithstanding Guarantor's
breach of any covenant or agreement of Guarantor in this Deed of Trust, extend
the time for payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, reduce the
payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of the Indebtedness, accept an
extension or modification or renewal note or notes therefor, modify the terms
and time of payment of the Indebtedness, release from the lien of this Deed of
Trust any part of the Property, take or release other or additional security,
reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any map or plan of the Property,
consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination
agreement, and agree in writing with Guarantor to modify the rate of interest or
period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly
installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by METLIFE pursuant to the
terms of this Section 12 shall not affect the obligation of Guarantor or
----------
Guarantor's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust
and to observe the covenants of Guarantor contained herein, shall not affect the
guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment of
the Indebtedness, and shall not affect the lien or priority of the lien hereof
on the Property. Guarantor shall pay METLIFE a service charge, together with
such title insurance premiums and attorneys' fees as may be incurred at
METLIFE's option, for any such action if taken at Guarantor's request.
13. FORBEARANCE BY METLIFE NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by METLIFE
-----------------------------------
in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable
law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or
remedy. The acceptance by METLIFE of payment of any sum secured by this Deed of
Trust after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of METLIFE's
right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or
to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of
insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by METLIFE shall not
be a waiver of METLIFE's right to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness
secured by this Deed of Trust, nor shall
7
METLIFE's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under Sections 5 and 11
-----------------
hereof operate to cure or waive Guarantor's default in payment of sums secured
by this Deed of Trust.
14. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust
------------------------------------------
is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code
for any of the items specified above as part of the Property which, under
applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code, and Guarantor hereby grants and conveys to METLIFE a first and
prior security interest in all of the Property that constitutes personalty,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired. Guarantor agrees that METLIFE may file
this Deed of Trust, or a reproduction thereof, in the real estate records or
other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of the items specified
above as part of the Property. Any reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of any
other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement. In addition, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to execute and deliver to
METLIFE, upon METLIFE's request, any financing statements, as well as
extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Deed of
Trust in such form as METLIFE may require to perfect a security interest with
respect to the foregoing items. Guarantor shall pay all costs of filing such
financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases
thereof, and shall pay all costs and expenses of any record searches for
financing statements METLIFE may require. Without the prior written consent of
METLIFE, Guarantor shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in said items, including
replacements and additions thereto. Upon Guarantor's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Guarantor contained in this Deed of Trust, including the covenants
to pay when due all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, METLIFE shall have the
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and METLIFE may
also invoke the remedies provided in Section 26 of this Deed of Trust as to such
----------
items. In exercising any of said remedies METLIFE may proceed against the items
of Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any
way affecting the availability of METLIFE's remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code or of the remedies provided in Section 26 of this Deed of Trust.
----------
Within ten (10) days following any request therefor by METLIFE, Guarantor shall
prepare and deliver to METLIFE a written inventory specifically listing all of
the personal property covered by the security interest herein granted, which
inventory shall be certified by Guarantor as being true, correct, and complete.
15. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Guarantor shall comply with and observe
----------------------
Guarantor's obligations as landlord under all Leases of the Property or any part
thereof. All Leases now or hereafter entered into will be in form and substance
subject to the approval of METLIFE. All Leases of the Property shall
specifically provide that such Leases are subordinate to this Deed of Trust;
that the tenant attorns to METLIFE, such attornment to be effective upon
METLIFE's acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to
execute such further evidences of attornment as METLIFE may from time to time
request; that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by
foreclosure; and that METLIFE may, at METLIFE's option, accept or reject such
attornments. Guarantor shall not, without METLIFE's written consent, request or
consent to the subordination of any Lease of all or any part of the Property to
any lien subordinate to this Deed of Trust. If Guarantor becomes aware that any
tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act or thing which may give rise to any
right of set-off against rent, Guarantor shall (i) take such steps as shall be
reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any right to a set-off against
rent, (ii) immediately notify METLIFE thereof in writing and of the amount of
said set-offs, and (iii) within ten (10) days after such accrual, reimburse the
tenant who shall have acquired such right to set-off or take such other steps as
shall effectively discharge such setoff and as shall assure that rents
thereafter due shall continue to be payable without set-off or deduction. Upon
METLIFE's receipt of notice of the occurrence of any default or violation by
Guarantor of any of its obligations under the Leases, METLIFE shall have the
immediate right, but not the duty or obligation, without prior written notice to
Guarantor or to any third party, to enter upon the Property and to take such
actions as METLIFE may deem necessary to cure the default or violation by
Guarantor under the Leases. The costs incurred by METLIFE in taking any such
actions pursuant to this paragraph shall become part of the Indebtedness, shall
bear interest at the rate provided in the Note, and shall be payable by
Guarantor to METLIFE on demand. METLIFE shall have no liability to Guarantor or
to any third party for any actions taken by METLIFE or not taken pursuant to
this paragraph.
8
16. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Deed of Trust
-------------------
is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Deed of
Trust or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently,
independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
17. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN Guarantor;
---------------------------------------------------------------
ASSUMPTION. METLIFE may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Deed
----------
of Trust to be immediately due and payable, and METLIFE may invoke any remedies
permitted by Section 26 of this Deed of Trust, if title to the Property is
----------
changed without the prior written consent of METLIFE, which consent shall be at
METLIFE's sole discretion. Any transfer of any interest in the Property or in
the income therefrom, by sale, lease (except for leases to tenants in the
ordinary course of managing income property which are approved by METLIFE
pursuant to Section 15 of this Deed of Trust), contract, Deed of Trust, security
----------
deed, mortgage, deed of trust, further encumbrance or otherwise (including any
such transfers as security for additional financing of the Property), and any
change in the ownership interests in Guarantor (including any change in the
ownership interests of any legal entities which comprise or control Guarantor),
except transfers and changes in ownership by devise or descent, shall be
considered a change of title. METLIFE shall have the right to condition its
consent to any proposed sale or transfer described in this Section 17 upon,
-----------
among other things, METLIFE's approval of the transferee's creditworthiness and
management ability and the transferee's execution, prior to the sale or
transfer, of a written assumption agreement containing such terms as METLIFE may
require, including, if required by METLIFE, the imposition of an assumption fee
of one percent (1%) of the then outstanding balance of the Indebtedness, except
in the case of a transfer to one of Guarantor's direct or indirect subsidiaries,
in which case Guarantor will be liable only for payment of all third-party
costs, such as METLIFE's attorneys' fees and recording costs. In addition to the
foregoing, Guarantor shall have a one-time right to transfer the Property to a
third party approved by METLIFE, subject to Guarantor's payment of all third-
party costs, such as METLIFE's attorneys' fees and recording costs. Consent by
METLIFE to one transfer of the Property shall not constitute consent to
subsequent transfers or waiver of the provisions of this Section 17. No transfer
----------
by Guarantor shall relieve Guarantor of liability for payment of the
Indebtedness. METLIFE acknowledges that Borrower is a publicly-held company and
that purchases and sales of its common stock from time to time on the NASDAQ
market and in the ordinary course of business shall not constitute a transfer of
the Property or a change in the ownership interests in Borrower pursuant to this
Section 17. Further, offerings and sales of additional securities of Borrower,
----------
payment of stock dividends, redemptions of stock, issuance of securities
pursuant to stock options, bonus or incentive plans or other common uses of
publicly traded securities shall not be considered to be changes in the
ownership interests in Guarantor under this Section 17.
----------
18. NOTICE. Except for any notice required under applicable law to
------
be given in another manner, any and all notices, elections, demands, or requests
permitted or required to be made under this Deed of Trust or under the Note
shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice, election, demand or
request, and shall be delivered personally, by telegram, or sent by registered,
certified, or Express United States mail, postage prepaid, or by Federal Express
or similar service requiring a receipt, to the other party at the address stated
above, or to such other party and at such other address within the United States
of America as any party may designate in writing as provided herein. The date
of receipt of such notice, election, demand or request shall be the earliest of
(i) the date of actual receipt, (ii) three (3) days after the date of mailing by
registered or certified mail, (iii) one (1) day after the date of mailing by
Express Mail or the delivery (for redelivery) to Federal Express or another
similar service requiring a receipt, or (iv) the date of personal delivery (or
refusal upon presentation for delivery).
19. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY;
----------------------------------------------------------
AGENTS; CAPTIONS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and
----------------
the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective heirs, successors and
assigns of METLIFE and Guarantor, subject to the provisions of Section 17
----------
hereof. If Guarantor is comprised of more than one person or entity, whether as
individuals, partners, partnerships or corporations, each such person or entity
shall be jointly and severally liable for Guarantor's obligations hereunder. In
exercising any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein,
METLIFE may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as
authorized by METLIFE. The captions and headings of the sections of this Deed
of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define
the provisions hereof.
9
20. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Guarantor hereby waives the
--------------------------------
right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the
lien of this Deed of Trust or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any
other obligation secured by this Deed of Trust.
21. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any
---------------------
other security interests in the Property held by METLIFE or by any other party,
METLIFE shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the
Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. METLIFE shall have
the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness secured hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the
exercise of the remedies provided herein. Guarantor, any party who consents to
this Deed of Trust and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security
interest in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice hereof hereby
waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with
the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided
herein.
22. HAZARDOUS WASTE. Guarantor has furnished to METLIFE a Phase I
---------------
Environmental Assessment dated September 23, 1996, Job No. 1007, prepared by
Atlanta Testing & Engineering (the "Engineer"), and related Asbestos Survey
dated September 23, 1996, and an Environmental Questionnaire dated December 17,
1996 (collectively, the "Report"). Except as disclosed to METLIFE in the
Report, Guarantor has received no notification of any kind suggesting that the
Property or any adjacent property is or may be contaminated with any hazardous
waste or materials or is or may be required to be cleaned up in accordance with
any applicable law or regulation; and Guarantor further represents and warrants
that, except as previously disclosed to METLIFE in writing, to the best of its
knowledge as of the date hereof after due and diligent inquiry, there are no
hazardous waste or materials located in, on or under the Property or any
adjacent property, or incorporated in any Improvements, nor has the Property or
any adjacent property ever been used as a landfill or a waste disposal site, or
a manufacturing, handling, storage, distribution or disposal facility for
hazardous waste or materials. As used herein, the term "hazardous waste or
materials" includes any substance or material defined in or designated as
hazardous or toxic wastes, hazardous or toxic material, a hazardous, toxic or
radioactive substance, or other similar term, by any federal, state or local
statute, regulation or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Guarantor shall
promptly comply with all statutes, regulations and ordinances, and with all
orders, decrees or judgments of governmental authorities or courts having
jurisdiction, relating to the use, collection, treatment, disposal, storage,
control, removal or cleanup of hazardous waste or materials in, on or under the
Property or any adjacent property, or incorporated in any Improvements, at
Guarantor's expense. In the event that METLIFE at any time believes that the
Property is not free of all hazardous waste or materials or that Guarantor has
violated any applicable environmental law with respect to the Property, then
immediately upon request by METLIFE, Guarantor shall obtain and furnish to
METLIFE, at Guarantor's sole cost and expense, an environmental audit and
inspection of the Property from an expert satisfactory to METLIFE. In the event
that Guarantor fails to immediately obtain such audit or inspection, METLIFE or
its agents may perform or obtain such audit or inspection at Guarantor's sole
cost and expense. METLIFE may, but is not obligated to, enter upon the Property
and take such actions and incur such costs and expenses to effect such
compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest in the Property; and
whether or not Guarantor has actual knowledge of the existence of hazardous
waste or materials on the Property or any adjacent property as of the date
hereof, Guarantor shall reimburse METLIFE as provided in Section 23 below for
----------
the full amount of all costs and expenses incurred by METLIFE prior to METLIFE
acquiring title to the Property through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure, in connection with such compliance activities. Neither this
provision nor any of the other Loan Documents shall operate to put METLIFE in
the position of an owner of the Property prior to any acquisition of the
Property by METLIFE. The rights granted to METLIFE herein and in the other Loan
Documents are granted solely for the protection of METLIFE's lien and security
interest covering the Property, and do not grant to METLIFE the right to control
Guarantor's actions, decisions or policies regarding hazardous waste or
materials.
23. ADVANCES, COSTS AND EXPENSES. Guarantor shall pay within ten
----------------------------
(10) days after written demand from METLIFE all sums advanced by METLIFE and all
costs and expenses incurred by METLIFE in taking any actions pursuant to the
Loan Documents including attorneys' fees and disbursements, accountants' fees,
appraisal and inspection fees and the costs for title reports and guaranties,
together with interest thereon at the rate applicable under the Note after an
Event of Default from the date such costs were advanced or incurred. All such
10
costs and expenses incurred by METLIFE, and advances made, shall constitute
advances under this Deed of Trust to protect the Property and shall be secured
by and have the same priority as the lien of this Deed of Trust. If Guarantor
fails to pay any such advances, costs and expenses and interest thereon, METLIFE
may apply any undisbursed loan proceeds to pay the same, and, without
foreclosing the lien of this Deed of Trust, may at its option commence an
independent action against Guarantor for the recovery of the costs, expenses
and/or advances, with interest, together with costs of suit, costs of title
reports and guaranty of title, disbursements of counsel and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred therein or in any appeal therefrom.
24. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Guarantor, for good and valuable
------------------------------
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to secure the
Indebtedness, does hereby absolutely and unconditionally grant, bargain, sell,
transfer, assign, convey, set over and deliver unto METLIFE all right, title and
interest of Guarantor in, to and under the Leases of the Property, whether now
in existence or hereafter entered into, and all guaranties, amendments,
extensions and renewals of said Leases and any of them, and all rents, income
and profits which may now or hereafter be or become due or owing under the
Leases, and any of them, or on account of the use of the Property.
Guarantor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with METLIFE as
follows:
(a) The sole ownership of the entire lessor's interest in the Leases
is vested in Guarantor, and Guarantor has not, and shall not, perform any acts
or execute any other instruments which might prevent METLIFE from fully
exercising its rights with respect to the Leases under any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust.
(b) The Leases are and shall be valid and enforceable in accordance
with their terms and have not been and shall not be altered, modified, amended,
terminated, canceled, renewed or surrendered except as approved in writing by
METLIFE. The terms and conditions of the Leases have not been and shall not be
waived in any manner whatsoever except as approved in writing by METLIFE.
(c) Guarantor shall not materially alter the term or the amount of
rent payable under any Lease without prior written notice to METLIFE and
METLIFE's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) To the best of Guarantor's knowledge, there are no defaults now
existing under any of the Leases and there exists no state of facts which, with
the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under
any of the Leases.
(e) Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to METLIFE of any
notice received by Guarantor claiming that a default has occurred under any of
the Leases on the part of Guarantor, together with a complete copy of any such
notice.
(f) Each of the Leases shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of any merger of the interest of lessor and any lessee under any of
the leases.
(g) Guarantor will not permit any Lease to become subordinate to any
lien other than the lien of this Deed of Trust.
This assignment is absolute, is effective immediately, and is
irrevocable by Guarantor so long as the Indebtedness remains outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until a Notice is sent to Guarantor in writing
that an Event of Default has occurred (which notice is hereafter called a
"Notice"), Guarantor may receive, collect and enjoy the rents, income and
profits accruing from the Property.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, METLIFE may, at
its option, after service of a Notice, receive and collect all such rents,
income and profits from the Property as they become due. METLIFE shall
thereafter continue to receive and collect all such rents, income and profits,
as long as such default or defaults shall exist, and during the pendency of any
foreclosure proceedings.
11
Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints METLIFE its true and lawful
attorney with power of substitution and with full power for METLIFE in its own
name and capacity or in the name and capacity of Guarantor, from and after
service of a Notice, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances
for any and all rents, income and profits accruing from the Property, either in
its own name or in the name of Guarantor or otherwise, which METLIFE may deem
necessary or desirable in order to collect and enforce the payment of the rents,
income and profits of and from the Property. Lessees of the Property are hereby
expressly authorized and directed, following receipt of a Notice from METLIFE,
to pay any and all amounts due Guarantor pursuant to the Leases to METLIFE or
such nominee as METLIFE may designate in a writing delivered to and received by
such lessees, and the lessees of the Property are expressly relieved of any and
all duty, liability or obligation to Guarantor in respect of all payments so
made.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, from and after service of
a Notice, METLIFE is hereby vested with full power to use all measures, legal
and equitable, deemed by it to be necessary or proper to enforce this Section 24
----------
and to collect the rents, income and profits assigned hereunder, including the
right of METLIFE or its designee, to enter upon the Property, or any part
thereof, and take possession of all or any part of the Property together with
all personal property, fixtures, documents, books, records, papers and accounts
of Guarantor relating thereto, and METLIFE may exclude Guarantor, its agents and
servants, wholly therefrom. Guarantor hereby grants full power and authority to
METLIFE to exercise all rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and
all times after service of a Notice, with full power to use and apply all of the
rents and other income herein assigned to the payment of the costs of managing
and operating the Property and of any indebtedness or liability of Guarantor to
METLIFE, including but not limited to the payment of taxes, special assessments,
insurance premiums, damage claims, the costs of maintaining, repairing,
rebuilding and restoring the improvements on the Property or of making the same
rentable, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the enforcement
of this Deed of Trust, and of principal and interest payments due from Guarantor
to METLIFE on the Note and this Deed of Trust, all in such order as METLIFE may
determine. METLIFE shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of
the rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of
the obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of
the liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants
and agreements of Guarantor in the Leases. It is further understood that the
assignment set forth in this Section 24 shall not operate to place
----------
responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or
parts thereof, upon METLIFE, nor shall it operate to make METLIFE liable for the
performance of any of the terms and conditions of any of the Leases, or for any
waste of the Property by any lessee under any of the Leases, or any other
person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property
resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee or
stranger.
25. DEFAULT. The following shall each constitute an event of default
-------
("Event of Default"):
(a) Failure of or refusal by Guarantor to pay any portion of the sums
secured by this Deed of Trust when due, and such failure or refusal shall
continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice is given to

METLIFE; or
(k) Any warranty, representation or statement furnished to METLIFE by

Loan Documents or the Certificate and Indemnity Agreement Regarding Hazardous
Substances, shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material
respect; or
(l) Failure of Guarantor to observe or perform any other covenant or

cure period, Guarantor fails within such time to commence and pursue curative
action with reasonable diligence or fails at any time after expiration of such
applicable cure period to continue with reasonable diligence all necessary
curative actions. No notice of default and no opportunity to cure shall be
required if during the prior twelve (12) months METLIFE has already sent a
notice to Guarantor concerning default in performance of the same obligation; or
(n) Guarantor's abandonment of the Property; or
(o) Any of the foregoing events occur with respect to Borrower; or

26. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.
------------------------------
26.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at
--------
any time thereafter, METLIFE may exercise any one or more of the following
rights and remedies:
(a) METLIFE may declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust
immediately due and payable, including any prepayment premium which Guarantor
would be required to pay.
(b) The Trustee shall have the right to foreclose by notice and sale,
or METLIFE shall have the right to foreclose by judicial foreclosure, in either
case in accordance with applicable law.
(c) In the event of any foreclosure, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, METLIFE will be entitled to a judgment which will provide that
if the foreclosure sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the judgment,
execution may issue for any amount by which the unpaid balance of the
obligations secured by this Deed of Trust exceeds the net sale proceeds payable
to METLIFE.
(d) With respect to all or any part of the Property that constitutes
personalty, METLIFE shall have all rights and remedies of secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code.
(e) METLIFE shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take
possession of any or all of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve
the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, to collect
all the rents and revenues from the Property and apply the proceeds, over and
above cost of the receivership, against the sums due under this Deed of Trust,
and to exercise all of the rights with respect to the Property described in
Section 24 above. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.
----------
METLIFE's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not
apparent value of the Property exceeds the sums due under this Deed of Trust by
a substantial amount. Employment by METLIFE shall not disqualify a person from
serving as a receiver.
(f) In the event Guarantor remains in possession of the Property after
the Property is sold as provided above or METLIFE otherwise becomes entitled to
possession of the Property upon default of Guarantor, Guarantor shall become a
tenant at will of METLIFE or the purchaser of the Property and shall pay a
reasonable rental for use of the Property while in Guarantor's possession.
14
(g) METLIFE shall have any other right or remedy provided in this Deed
of Trust, the Note, or any other Loan Document or deed delivered by Guarantor in
connection therewith, or available at law, in equity or otherwise.
(h) METLIFE may confess judgment against Xxxxxxxx as provided herein.
For the purpose of obtaining possession of the Property upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default hereunder, Xxxxxxxx hereby authorizes and empowers the
clerk of any court of record in the State of Maryland, including but not limited
to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Xxxxxxxxxx County, to enter judgment by
confession against Borrower in favor of Xxxxxx for the full amount of the
Indebtedness, expressly waiving summons and other process, and does hereby
consent to the immediate execution of such judgment, expressly waiving the
benefit of all exemption or homestead laws. Borrower hereby constitutes and
appoints Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Esq., Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, or any attorney acting on
behalf of METLIFE in any federal court or any state court of record in the
United States of America, as attorney-in-fact for Xxxxxxxx and all persons
claiming through or under Borrower, to sign an agreement for entering in any
competent court an amicable action in ejectment for possession of the Property
and to appear for and confess judgment against Xxxxxxxx, and all persons
claiming under or through Borrower, in favor of METLIFE, for recovery by Lender
of possession thereof, for which this Instrument, or a copy thereof verified by
affidavit, shall be sufficient warrant; whereupon a writ of possession may
immediately issue for possession of the Property, without any prior writ or
proceeding whatsoever and without any stay of execution. METLIFE may bring an
amicable action in ejectment and confess judgment therein either before or after
the institution of proceedings to foreclose this Instrument or to enforce the
Note or after entry of judgment therein or on the Note, or after a public sale
of the Property in which METLIFE is the successful bidder. The foregoing
authorization to pursue proceedings for obtaining possession of the Property and
confessing judgment therein is an essential part of METLIFE's remedies for
enforcement of this Instrument and the Note and shall survive any foreclosure
sale by or to METLIFE.
(i) METLIFE shall have all the rights and remedies set forth in
Sections 23 and 24.
------------------
26.2 Foreclosure.
-----------
(a) Upon the happening of any and every such Event of Default,
Borrower (i) declares its assent to the passing of a decree for the sale of any
or all of the Property or any estate or interest therein by any equity court
having jurisdiction over the sale of the Property, and (ii) authorizes and
empowers the Trustee to take possession of any or all of the Property to sell
any or all of it or any estate or interest therein in accordance with the
provisions of Rule W of the Maryland Rules of Procedure, of Title 7 of the Real
Property Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended, an/or of any
other public or local law relating to or affecting deeds of trust or security
agreements, including any amendments thereof or additions thereto. Neither the
foregoing assent to decree nor the foregoing power of sale shall be exhausted if
such proceeding or sale is dismissed or canceled before the indebtedness is paid
in full.
(b) If any or all of the Property or any estate or interest therein is
to be sold under the provisions of this Instrument, by virtue of a judicial sale
or otherwise, it may be sold at public auction, as in entirety or in one or more
parcels, by one sale or by several sales held at one time or at different times,
with such postponement of any such sale as the Trustee may deem appropriate and
without regard to any right of Borrower or any other person to the marshalling
of assets. The Trustee shall hold such sale or sales at such time or times and
at such place or places, and shall make sales upon such terms and conditions and
after such previous public notice as required by law and as the Trustee may deem
appropriate. METLIFE may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale, and
shall, upon presentation of the Note or a true copy thereof at such sale, be
credited for the unpaid balance due under the Note and any interest accrued and
unpaid thereon, or such portion of such unpaid balance or interest as METLIFE
may specify, against any price bid by METLIFE thereat. The terms of sale being
complied with, the Trustee shall convey to and at the cost of the purchaser at
such sale Xxxxxxxx's interest in so much of the Property as is so sold, free of
and discharged from all estate, right, title or interest of Borrower at law or
in equity, such purchaser being hereby discharged from all liability to see to
the application of the purchase money.
15
(c) Upon any sale of Xxxxxxxx's interest in any or all of the
Property, whether under the assent to a decree or power of sale herein granted,
or by other foreclosure or judicial proceedings, the Trustee shall apply the
proceeds of such sale, together with any other sum then held as security
hereunder or due under any of the provisions hereof as part of the Property
(after paying all expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees and a commission
to the party marking the sale equal to the commission allowed to trustees for
making sales of property under orders or decrees of a court having competent
jurisdiction, and all taxes and assessments which the Trustee or the METLIFE
deem it advisable or expedient to pay and all sums advanced, with interest
thereon at the default rate set forth in the Note; as herein provided) to the
payment of the aggregate indebtedness then secured hereby and interest thereon
to the date of payment and any other amounts secured hereunder, paying over the
surplus, if any, less the expense, if any, of obtaining possession, to the
Borrower or any person entitled thereto upon the surrender and delivery to the
purchaser of possession of the Property.
(d) Immediately upon the first insertion of any advertisement or
notice of any such sale, there shall become due and owing by Borrower all
expenses incident to such advertisement or notice, all court costs and all
expenses incident to any foreclosure proceedings brought under this Instrument
or otherwise in connection with such sale, and a commission on the total amount
of the principal indebtedness; then secured hereby equaling one-half of the
commission allowed to trustees for making sales of property under orders or
decrees of a court having competent jurisdiction, and no party shall be required
to receive the principal, interest and prepayment fee only of said indebtedness
in satisfaction thereof unless it is accompanied by a tender of payment of such
expenses, costs and commissions.
(e) Notwithstanding the relationship of parties constituting Borrower,
and as an express inducement to METLIFE to make the loan or loans secured
hereby, and for other good and valuable consideration to Borrower in hand paid,
receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, Borrower does hereby waive for itself
(as well as all of its partners), its successors and assigns, in the event of
foreclosure of this Instrument, an equitable right, otherwise available to it,
in respect to marshalling of assets hereunder.
(f) In the event of a sale of part of, or interest in, the Property in
satisfaction of part of the debt secured by this Instrument, this Instrument
shall, as to the remaining part of, or interest in, the Property, continue as a
lien for the remainder of the debt.
(g) Any sale of the Property or any part thereof or any interest
therein, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise
hereunder, shall forever be a perpetual bar against Borrower.
26.3 Foreclosure of Personalty. Upon the happening of any and every
-------------------------
such Event of Default, should METLIFE elect to cause any of the Property to be
disposed of as personal property because the same is personal property under the
applicable laws of the State of Maryland, METLIFE may dispose of all or any part
thereof in any manner now or hereafter permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of Maryland or in accordance with any other remedy provided in law
or in equity. Any such disposition may be conducted by an employee or agent of
METLIFE or Trustee. Both Borrower and METLIFE shall be eligible to purchase any
part or all of such property at such disposition. Any such disposition may be
either public or private as METLIFE may so elect, in its sole discretion,
subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Maryland. METLIFE shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Maryland. Expenses of
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like shall include
METLIFE's attorney's fees and legal expenses, and upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Borrower, upon demand of METLIFE, shall assemble such personal
property and make it available to METLIFE at the Property, a place which is
deemed to be reasonably convenient to both METLIFE and Borrower. METLIFE shall
give Borrower at least five (5) days' prior written notice (or a longer period
if then required in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland) of the
time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of
the time at or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is
to be made, and if such notice is sent to Borrower, as the same is provided for
the mailing of notices herein, it shall constitute reasonable notice to
Borrower.
16
26.4 Waiver; Election of Remedies. A waiver by either party of a
----------------------------
breach of a provision of this Instrument shall not constitute a waiver of or
prejudice the party's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision. Election by METLIFE to pursue any remedy
shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and all remedies of METLIFE under
this Instrument are cumulative and not exclusive. An election to make
expenditures or take action to perform an obligation of Borrower shall not
affect METLIFE's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies under this
Instrument.
27. RECONVEYANCE. Upon payment of all sums secured by this
------------
Instrument, METLIFE shall request Trustee to reconvey the Property and shall
surrender this Instrument and all notes evidencing Indebtedness secured by this
Instrument to Trustee. Trustee shall reconvey the Property without warranty to
the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall
pay Trustee's costs incurred in so reconveying the Property.
28. FUTURE ADVANCES. Upon request of Guarantor and Borrower,
---------------
METLIFE, at METLIFE's option so long as this Deed of Trust secures Indebtedness
held by METLIFE, may make Future Advances to Guarantor or Borrower. Such Future
Advances, with interest xxxxxxx, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust when
evidenced by promissory notes stating that said notes are secured hereby.
29. IMPOSITION OF TAX BY STATE.
--------------------------
(a) State Taxes Covered. The following constitute state taxes to
-------------------
which this Section applies:
(1) A specific tax upon mortgages or upon all or any part of the
indebtedness secured by a mortgage.
(2) A specific tax on a grantor which the taxpayer is authorized or
required to deduct from payments on the indebtedness secured by a mortgage.
(3) A tax on a mortgage chargeable against the grantee or the holder
of the note secured.
(4) A specific tax on all or any portion of the indebtedness or on
payments of principal and interest made by a grantor.
(b) Remedies. If any state tax to which this Section applies is
--------
enacted subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust, this shall have the same
effect as an Event of Default, and METLIFE may exercise any or all of the
remedies available to it unless the following conditions are met:
(1) Guarantor may lawfully pay the tax or charge imposed by state tax,
and
(2) Guarantor pays the tax or charge within thirty (30) days after
notice from METLIFE that the tax law has been enacted.
30. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event suit or action is instituted to
---------------
enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Deed of Trust (including without
limitation efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all expenses reasonably incurred
at, before and after trial and on appeal whether or not taxable as costs, or in
any bankruptcy proceeding including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
witness fees (expert and otherwise), deposition costs, copying charges and other
expenses. Whether or not any court action is involved, all reasonable expenses,
including but not limited to the costs of searching records, obtaining title
reports, surveyor reports, and title insurance, incurred by METLIFE that are
necessary at any time in METLIFE's opinion for the protection of its interest or
enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness payable on
demand and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until repaid at the
interest rate
17
as provided in the Note. The term "attorneys' fees" as used in the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to mean such fees as are reasonable and are actually
incurred.
31. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Deed of Trust shall be
---------------------------
governed by the law of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made and to
be performed therein (excluding choice-of-law principles). In the event that any
provision or clause of this Deed of Trust or the Note conflicts with applicable
law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Deed of Trust or
the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to
this end the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Note are declared to be
severable.
32. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Deed of Trust.
---------------
33. CHANGES IN WRITING. This Deed of Trust and any of its terms may
------------------
only be changed, waived, discharged or terminated by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge
or termination is sought. Any agreement subsequently made by Guarantor or
METLIFE relating to this Deed of Trust shall be superior to the rights of the
holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.
34. NO OFFSET. Guarantor's obligation to make payments and perform
---------
all obligations, covenants and warranties under this Deed of Trust and under the
Note shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including without limitation any setoff, counterclaim, abatement,
suspension, recoupment, deduction, defense or other right that Guarantor or any
guarantor may have or claim against METLIFE or any entity participating in
making the loan secured hereby. The foregoing provisions of this section,
however, do not constitute a waiver of any claim or demand which Guarantor or
any guarantor may have in damages or otherwise against METLIFE or any other
person, or preclude Guarantor from maintaining a separate action thereon;
provided, however, that Guarantor waives any right it may have at law or in
equity to consolidate such separate action with any action or proceeding brought
by METLIFE.
35. PROVISIONS REGARDING TRUSTEE. Trustee shall not be liable for
----------------------------
any error of judgment or act done by Trustee, or be otherwise responsible or
accountable under any circumstances whatsoever. Trustee shall not be personally
liable in case of entry by it or anyone acting by virtue of the powers herein
granted it upon the Property for debts contracted or liability or damages
incurred in the management or operation of the Property. All monies received by
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any
manner from any other monies (except to the extent required by law) and Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder.
In accordance with applicable law, METLIFE may from time to time
appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed hereunder. Without
conveyance of the Property, the successor trustee shall succeed to all the
title, power and duties conferred upon the Trustee herein and by applicable law.
Trustee may resign by giving of notice of such resignation in writing to
METLIFE. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting, or
shall fail or refuse to exercise its powers hereunder when requested by METLIFE
so to do, or if for any reason and without cause METLIFE shall prefer to appoint
a substitute trustee to act instead of the original Trustee named herein, or any
prior successor or substitute trustee, METLIFE shall have full power to appoint
a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in
succession who shall succeed to all the estate, rights, powers and duties of the
aforenamed Trustee. Upon appointment by METLIFE, any new Trustee appointed
pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and
trusts of its predecessor in the rights hereunder with the same effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein.
36. MAXIMUM INTEREST CHARGES. Notwithstanding anything contained
------------------------
herein or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, in no event shall
METLIFE be entitled to receive interest on the loan secured by this Deed of
Trust (the "Loan") in amounts which, when added to all of the other interest
charged, paid
18
to or received by METLIFE on the Loan, causes the rate of interest on the Loan
to exceed the highest lawful rate. Guarantor and METLIFE intend to comply with
the applicable law governing the highest lawful rate and the maximum amount of
interest payable on or in connection with the Loan. If the applicable law is
ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under
the Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with
respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the final maturity date of the Loan
or if any prepayment by Guarantor results in Guarantor having paid or demand
having been made on Guarantor to pay, any interest in excess of the amount
permitted by applicable law, then all excess amounts theretofore collected by
METLIFE shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note
has been or would thereby be paid in full, such excess amounts shall be refunded
to Guarantor), and the provisions of the Note, this Deed of Trust and any demand
on Guarantor shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible thereunder and hereunder shall be reduced, without the necessity of
the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but
so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
thereunder and hereunder. The right to accelerate the final maturity date of the
Loan does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not
otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and METLIFE does not intend
to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or
agreed to be paid to METLIFE for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread through the full term of the Loan until payment in full so
that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
applicable usury ceiling. By execution of this Deed of Trust, Guarantor
acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be nonusurious and agrees that if, at
any time, Guarantor should have reason to believe that the Loan is in fact
usurious, it will give METLIFE written notice of its belief and the reasons why
Guarantor believes the Loan to be usurious, and Xxxxxxxxx agrees that METLIFE
shall have ninety (90) days following its receipt of such written notice in
which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such
condition if it in fact exists.

OTHER TERMS OR ORAL PROMISES NOT CONTAINED IN THIS WRITTEN CONTRACT MAY BE

BY EXECUTION OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY: ACKNOWLEDGES THE
RIGHT TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE AND THE POWER
GIVEN HEREIN TO METLIFE TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE
UPON DEFAULT BY GUARANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY
NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER

INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY THE UNDERSIGNED, ON BEHALF OF GUARANTOR, AS

payable to the order of Secured Party, in the principal amount of Two Million
Four Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($2,475,000) (the "Note") and (ii) to
secure all other obligations of Debtor or Borrower arising under all documents
securing or executed in connection with the Note, except any Certificate and
Indemnity Agreement Regarding Hazardous Substances or Environmental Indemnity
Agreement (the "Loan Documents").
Debtor expressly warrants and covenants:
1. Except for the security interest granted hereby, Debtor is, or to the extent
that this Security Agreement states that the Collateral is to be acquired after
the date hereof, will be, the owner of the Collateral free from any lien,
security interest or encumbrance. Debtor shall defend the Collateral against
all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any
interest therein.
2. The Collateral is used or bought primarily for use in the business of
Debtor.
3. Xxxxxx's business address is as stated above. The Collateral is located at
or on or is used or owned for or in connection with the real estate situated in
Calverton. Xxxxxxxxxx County, Maryland, commonly known as 00000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxx and more particularly described on the attached Exhibit A herein
---------
incorporated by this reference (the "Property").
4. Debtor shall notify Secured Party of any change in the location of the

5. Debtor shall pay all taxes and assessments of every nature which may be
levied or assessed against the Collateral.
32
6. Debtor shall not permit or allow any lien, security interest or encumbrance
whatsoever upon the Collateral and shall not permit the Collateral to be
attached or replevied.
7. The Collateral is in good condition and Debtor shall keep the Collateral in
good condition and from time to time, forthwith, replace and repair all such
parts of the Collateral as may be broken, worn out, or damaged without allowing
any lien to be created upon the Collateral on account of such replacement or
repairs. Secured Party may examine and inspect the Collateral at any time,
wherever located.
8. Debtor will not use the Collateral in violation of any applicable statutes,
regulations or ordinances.
9. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Secured
Party has been advised that certain personal property will be leased to Debtor,
and Secured Party's interest therein shall be subordinate to lessor's interest
therein.
Until default Debtor may have possession of the Collateral and use it in
any lawful manner, and upon default Secured Party shall have the immediate right
to the possession of the Collateral.
Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon the happening
of any of the following events (an "Event of Default"):
(a) default in the payment or performance of any obligation, covenant or
liability contained or referred to in this Security Agreement and such
default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice is given to Debtor by Secured Party specifying such default; or
(b) the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined under the Note, the
Guaranty, any instrument securing the Guaranty, including the Indemnity
Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and
Fixture Filing or securing the Note (the "Trust Deed"), any other Loan
Document, or the Certificate and Indemnity Agreement Regarding Hazardous

it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which

the same time and place as the sale of the Property, or Secured Party may sell
the Collateral at one or more other public or private sales in accordance with
the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code. The Collateral shall not be required to
be exhibited, presented or displayed at any sale. In the event that the
Collateral is sold under the Trust Deed, Secured Party hereby assigns its
security interest in the Collateral to the trustee or Sheriff selling the
Property under the Trust Deed. Xxxxxx agrees that a sale of the Collateral
under the Trust Deed and the notices required under the laws of Maryland

secured hereby, all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale and
selling incurred by Secured Party in connection with realization on the
Collateral including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. In addition, in the

reasonably incurred at, before or after trial and on appeal whether or not
taxable as costs, or in any bankruptcy proceeding, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, witness fees (expert and otherwise), deposition
costs, copying charges and other expenses.
No waiver by Secured Party of an Event of Default shall operate as a waiver
of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. The taking of
this Security Agreement shall not waive or impair any other security said
Secured Party may have or hereafter acquire for the payment of the Note nor
shall the taking of any such additional security waive or impair this Security
Agreement. Secured Party may resort to any security it may have in the order it
may deem proper.
All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its
successors and assigns. All promises and duties of Debtor shall bind its
successors and assigns.

to be made under this Security Agreement shall be in writing, signed by the
party giving such notice, election, demand or request, and shall be delivered
