The terms and conditions of Section 19.3 of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by this reference, with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.
6.11 Future Negotiations. Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor acknowledge and agree that (i) Lender has no obligation whatsoever to discuss, negotiate or to agree to any restructuring of the Loan, or any modification, amendment, restructuring or reinstatement of the Loan Documents or to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, except as expressly provided in this Agreement; (ii) if there are any future discussions among Lender, Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor concerning any such restructuring, modification, amendment or reinstatement, then no restructuring, modification, amendment, reinstatement, compromise, settlement, agreement or understanding with respect to the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Property or any aspect thereof, shall constitute a legally binding agreement or contract or have any force or effect whatsoever unless and until reduced to writing and signed by authorized representatives of the Parties; and (iii) Borrower Parties shall not assert or claim in any legal proceedings or otherwise that any such agreement exists except in accordance with the terms of this Section.
6.12 Relationship of Parties. The Parties do not intend by this Agreement to create a partnership or a joint venture. Neither this Agreement nor any of the payments herein or in the Note to be made by either Borrower or Lender shall constitute, or shall be deemed or construed to constitute, Lender a “mortgagee in possession” of the Property or in any manner liable for any goods or services delivered or provided with respect to the Property or in any manner liable to any third parties. The relationship of Lender to Borrower is that of “lender” and “borrower” and the Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations of Lender and Borrower set forth herein are not intended to benefit and should not be relied on by third parties.
6.13 Headings. The headings of the articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Agreement and shall not be used to construe, limit or otherwise affect this Agreement.
6.14 Modifications. The terms of this Agreement may not be changed, modified, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument or instruments in writing, signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, discharge or termination is asserted. Except as modified by this Agreement, the Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages. This Agreement shall not be binding on either party until executed and delivered by all parties.

Notwithstanding any implication or agreement herein relating to the modification of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any prior course of conduct by any party hereto), Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor agree that Lender shall and will hereafter require full and prompt performance of any and all terms, conditions or requirements of this Agreement and all Loan Documents, as amended. Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor acknowledge and agree that any performance or nonperformance of the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents prior to the Effective Date shall not effect or diminish in any way the requirement of strict compliance of the Note, Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents after the Effective Date.
