paid to Xxxxxxxxxx County, Maryland one-half of all transfer and recordation taxes required or
necessary to be paid in connection with the transfer of the Leased Premises from Landlord to Tenant

“36. Nature of Transaction. With respect to the Leased Premises, it is the intent of
Tenant and the Credit Facility Provider that, for federal, state and local tax purposes and for
bankruptcy, commercial and regulatory law and all other purposes, this Lease and the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents shall be treated as the repayment and security provisions
of a loan by Landlord and the Credit Facility Provider to Tenant, that Tenant shall be treated as
the legal and beneficial owner entitled to any and all benefits of ownership of such Leased
Premises and that all payments of Basic Rent during the Term shall be treated as payments of
interest and, if applicable, principal.
4
(a) Intent of the Parties. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease
grants a security interest and deed of trust lien, as the case may be, on the Leased Premises and
the other Tenant Collateral to and for the benefit of Landlord (for the benefit of Landlord and the
Credit Facility Provider) to secure Tenant’s performance under and payment of all amounts under
this Lease and the other Operative Documents.
(b) Transactions to be Regarded as Loans. Specifically, without limiting the
generality of Paragraph 36, Landlord and Tenant intend and agree that in the event of any
insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States bankruptcy laws or any
other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United States of America or any State or
Commonwealth thereof affecting Tenant, Landlord, the Credit Facility Provider or any collection
actions, the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents shall be regarded as loans made by
Landlord and the Credit Facility Provider as unrelated third party lenders to or for the benefit of
Tenant secured by the Leased Premises and the other Tenant Collateral.
(c) Mortgage Lien. Specifically, without limiting the generality of Paragraph 36,
Tenant has mortgaged, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed and confirmed,
and does hereby mortgage, grant, bargain, sell, convey and confirm, a lien on the
Leased Premises and the other Tenant Collateral to secure to Landlord (for the benefit of Landlord
and the Credit Facility Provider) (i) all amounts advanced by Landlord and the Credit Facility
Provider pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents, together with interest thereon, and all
other amounts payable under the Operative Documents in connection therewith and (ii) all other
obligations of Tenant under the Operative Documents, effective on the date hereof.
(d) Security Agreement. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of
Paragraph 36, Landlord and Tenant further intend and agree that, for the purpose of securing the
payment of the above-described amounts and to further secure all other obligations of Tenant under
the Operative Documents, (i) this Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and
financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code (it
being understood that Tenant hereby conveys and warrants and grants a security interest in the
Leased Premises and the other Tenant Collateral to Landlord (for the benefit of Landlord and the
Credit Facility Provider) to secure all amounts advanced by Landlord and the Credit Facility
Provider pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents, together with interest thereon, and all
other amounts payable under the Operative Documents and all other obligations of Tenant under the
Operative Documents); (ii) the possession by Landlord or any of its agents of notes and such other
items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest
pursuant to Section 9-313 of the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code; and (iii) notifications to
Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial
intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Tenant shall be deemed to have been given for
the purpose of perfecting such security interest under any Law. Landlord and Tenant shall, to the
extent consistent with this Lease, take such actions and execute, deliver, file and record such
other documents, financing statements and mortgages as may be necessary to ensure that, if the
Lease was deemed to create a security interest in the Leased Premises and the other Tenant
Collateral in accordance with this
5
Paragraph 37, such security interest would be deemed to be a first priority perfected security
interest (subject only to the Deeds of Trust) and will be maintained as such throughout the Term.
(e) Deed of Trust. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing or the generality
of Paragraph 36, Tenant hereby grants, bargains, sells, warrants, conveys, aliens, remises,
releases, assigns, sets over and confirms to Xxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (collectively, the
“Deed of Trust Trustees”) all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to the following
(collectively, the “Mortgaged Property”): (i) the Leased Premises and all appurtenances
relating thereto and all proceeds, both cash and noncash thereof; (ii) all easements,
rights-of-way, strips and gores of land, vaults, streets, ways, alleys, passages, sewer rights,

reversions and remainders whatsoever, in any way belonging, relating or appertaining to the Leased
Premises or any part thereof, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Tenant; (iii) all right,
title and interest of Tenant in any and all leases, rental agreements and arrangements of any sort
now or hereafter affecting the Leased Premises or any portion thereof and providing for or
resulting in the payment of money to Tenant for the use of the Leased Premises or any portion
thereof, irrespective of whether such leases, rental agreements and arrangements be oral or
written, and including any and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof (the “Subject
Leases”) and guaranties of the performance or obligations of any lessees thereunder, together
with all income, rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Subject Leases (including all lessee
security deposits and all other lessee deposits, whether held by Tenant or in a trust account, and
all other deposits and escrow funds relating to any Subject Leases), and all the estate, right,
title, interest, property, possession, claim and demand whatsoever at law, as well as in equity, of
Tenant of, in and to the same; provided, however, that although this Lease contains (and it is
hereby agreed that this Lease contains) a present, current, unconditional and absolute assignment
of all of said income, rents, issues, profits and revenues, Tenant shall collect and apply such
rental payments and revenues as provided in this Lease and the other Operative Documents; (iv) all
right, title and interest of Tenant in, to and under all franchise agreements, management
contracts, consents, authorizations, certificates and other rights of every kind and character of
any of the Leased Premises, to the extent the same are transferable, service contracts, utility
contracts, leases of equipment, and all other contracts, licenses and permits now or hereafter
affecting the Leased Premises or any part thereof and all guaranties and warranties with respect to
any of the foregoing (the “Subject Contracts”); (v) all right, title and interest of Tenant
in any insurance policies or binders now or hereafter relating to the Leased Premises, including

interest of Tenant in any and all awards, payments, proceeds and the right to receive the same,
either before or after any foreclosure hereunder, as a result of any temporary or permanent injury
or damage to, taking of or decrease in the value of the Leased Premises by reason of casualty,
condemnation or otherwise as further provided in this Lease; (vii) all right, title and interest of
Tenant in all utility, escrow and all other deposits (and all letters of credit, certificates of
deposit, negotiable instruments and other rights and evidence of rights to cash) now or hereafter
relating to the Leased Premises or the purchase, construction or operation thereof; (viii) all
claims and causes of action arising from or otherwise related to any of the foregoing, and all
rights and judgments related to any legal actions in connection with such claims or causes of
action; (ix) all Alterations, extensions, additions, improvements, betterments, renewals and
replacements,
6
substitutions, or proceeds of any of the foregoing acquired with proceeds of any of the
property described hereinabove; all of which foregoing items are hereby declared and shall be

portion of the above described collateral being located upon the Land; and (x) all of the other
Tenant Collateral, IN TRUST, HOWEVER, WITH POWER OF SALE, to secure (i) all amounts advanced by
Landlord and the Credit Facility Provider pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents,
together with interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under the Operative Documents in
connection therewith and (ii) all other obligations of Tenant under the Operative Documents,
effective on the date hereof.
(f) Power of Sale Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in
the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that this Lease constitutes a deed of trust
or other secured financing with respect to the Leased Premises as is the intent of the parties
pursuant to this Paragraph 37, then Landlord and Tenant agree that, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, the Deed of Trust Trustees may, and are hereby irrevocably
empowered to, with or without entry, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, sell or cause
the sale of the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof at one or more public auctions as an
entirety or in parcels as Landlord may elect free from any equity of redemption for cash, on
credit, or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and on such terms as the Deed of
Trust Trustees shall deem advantageous and proper, such sale or sales to be made in such manner and
upon such notice and advertisement as may be required by applicable law, or in the absence of any
such requirements, as Landlord may deem appropriate, and to make conveyance to the purchase or
purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord
may, at its option, proceed to foreclose on the Leased Premises by judicial foreclosure.
(g) UCC Remedies. In addition to any other remedies granted in this Lease to Landlord
(including specifically, but not limited to, the right to proceed against the Leased Premises in
accordance with the rights and remedies in respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which
are real property pursuant to Section 9-604(a) of the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code), Landlord
may proceed under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the personal
property (tangible or intangible) and fixtures included with the Leased Premises (such portion of
the Leased Premises being referred to herein as the “Personalty”) and shall have and may
exercise with respect to the Personalty all the rights, remedies, and powers of a secured party
under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right and power to
sell, at one or more public or private sales, or otherwise dispose of, lease, or utilize the
Personalty and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under the Maryland
Uniform Commercial Code after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment
of any costs and expenses and attorney’s fees and legal expenses thereby incurred by Landlord, and
toward payment of the indebtedness hereby secured in such order or manner as provided herein. Any
requirement of the
7
Maryland Uniform Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written
notice to Tenant at its address set forth in Exhibit E hereto at least ten (10) days prior
to the sale or other event for which such notice is required.
(h) Judicial Remedies. Landlord may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by a
suit or suits in equity or at law, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained herein or in the Operative Documents, or in aid of the execution of any power herein or
therein granted, or for the foreclosure of the mortgage lien created by this Lease, or for the
enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy and in aid thereof Tenant hereby
assents to the passage of a decree by the equity court having jurisdiction. Upon the bringing of
any suit to foreclose the mortgage lien created by this Lease or to enforce any other remedy
available hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled as a matter of right, without notice and without
giving bond to Tenant or anyone claiming under, by or through it, and without regard to the
solvency or insolvency of Tenant or the then value of the premises, to have a receiver appointed of
all the Leased Premises and of the earnings, income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof,
with such power as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Tenant does hereby
irrevocably consent to such appointment.
(i) Acceleration of Payments under the Letter of Credit Agreement and Other Operative
Documents. In case of any sale of the Leased Premises, or of any part thereof, pursuant to any
judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms
of this Lease, all outstanding amounts due and owing under the Letter of Credit Agreement and the
other Operative Documents, if not previously due, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall
at once become and be immediately due and payable; also in the case of any such sale, Landlord may
bid and become the purchaser, and the purchaser or purchasers, for the purpose of making settlement
for or payment of the purchase price, shall be entitled to turn in and use all outstanding amounts
due and owing under the Letter of Credit Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and any
claims for interest due and unpaid thereon, in order that there may be credited as paid on the
purchase price the sum apportion able and applicable to all outstanding amounts due and owing under
the Letter of Credit Agreement and the other Operative Documents, including principal and interest
thereon, out of the net proceeds of such sale after allowing for the proportion of the total
purchase price required to be paid in actual cash. If at any foreclosure proceeding the Leased
Premises shall be sold for a sum less than the total amount of indebtedness for which judgment is
therein given, the judgment creditor shall be entitled to the entry of a deficiency decree against
Tenant and against the property of Tenant for the amount of such deficiency.
(j) Attorney-in-Fact. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Tenant and in the name of Tenant or
otherwise, from time to time in Landlord’s discretion, to execute any instrument which Landlord may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Lease (subject to any limitations
set forth in the Operative Documents), and to take any action (including any action that Tenant is
entitled to take), including, without limitation:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for money due and to become due under or in connection with all or any portion
of the Leased Premises and the other Tenant Collateral;
8
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper in connection with the foregoing clause (a);
(iii) to file any claim or take any action or institute any proceedings which Landlord
may deem to be necessary or advisable for the collection thereof or to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions of this Lease; and
(iv) to perform any affirmative obligations of Tenant hereunder, including the
execution of mortgages, financing statements and other documents.
Tenant hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to
this subparagraph (j) is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the rights and powers presently granted Landlord by this
subparagraph (j) may be exercised by Landlord only upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default.”
