Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that any natural person serving as an Independent Director has agreed in writing that it is not, and will not become, a stockholder in Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate, the disqualification of such person from serving as an Independent Director because (1) such person became a stockholder in Guarantor or any publicly held Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor without the knowledge or consent of Borrower, Guarantor or the applicable Affiliate, or (2) a member of such natural person’s immediate family is, or became, a stockholder in Guarantor or any publicly traded Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor without the knowledge or consent of Borrower, Guarantor or the applicable Affiliate, shall not trigger recourse under this Section 1.2(b) provided Borrower, upon obtaining knowledge of such person’s ineligibility to serve as an Independent Director, promptly takes commercially reasonable actions to cause such person to resign and to replace such person with an eligible Independent Director in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.  Guarantor expressly waives any defense or benefits arising out of any voluntary or involuntary filing by or on behalf of Borrower for protection under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor relief laws, including without limitation under Sections 364 or 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

3.1                               Benefit.  Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.2                               Familiarity and Reliance.  Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of the Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the

12

Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

3.3                               No Representation By Lender.  Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.4                               Guarantor’s Financial Condition.  As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, including the Guaranteed Obligations.  In addition, true and complete copies of the financial statements of Guarantor have been delivered to Lender and each of the same are true, accurate and complete and fairly present Guarantor’s financial condition as of the dates thereof and no material and adverse change has occurred in Guarantor’s financial condition or business since the respective dates thereof; and each financial statement of Guarantor submitted in the future shall be true, accurate and complete and shall fairly present Guarantor’s financial condition as of the dates thereof.

3.5                               Legality.  To Guarantor’s knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor.  This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

3.6                               No Violation.  To Guarantor’s knowledge, the payment and performance by Guarantor of Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and this Guaranty do not and shall not constitute a violation of any law, order, regulation, contract or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or Guarantor’s property may be bound.

3.7                               No Litigation.  There is no material litigation now pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge threatened in writing, against Guarantor which, if adversely decided would materially impair the ability of Guarantor to pay and perform Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Agreement or this Guaranty.  There is no litigation (whether or not material) pending, or threatened in writing, against Guarantor in which the amount in controversy exceeds $500,000 which is not either:  (i) covered by adequate insurance, or (ii) previously disclosed in writing to Lender together with a written explanation of why such litigation is not material.

3.8                               Entity Matters.  Guarantor is a duly organized, validly existing corporation organized and in good standing under the laws of Maryland, has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its property as now conducted or owned, and is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions where the nature and extent of its business is such that qualification is required by law.

13

3.9                               Material Economic Benefit.  The granting of the Loan to Borrower will constitute a material economic benefit to Guarantor.

3.10                        Survival.  All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

ARTICLE 4

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

4.1                               Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  So long as any portion of the Debt or the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2                               Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender.  Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.3                               Payments Held in Trust.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that any Guarantor shall receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

14

4.4                               Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

ARTICLE 6

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1                               Waiver.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

▇▇

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COURT SITTING IN ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO GUARANTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED IN THIS GUARANTY, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF GUARANTOR SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

6.4                               Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing

18

the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.

6.10                        Rights and Remedies.  If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor.  The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

19

shall cooperate to implement all customary and reasonable requirements imposed by any Rating Agencies involved in any Secondary Market Transaction.  Guarantor shall provide such information and documents relating to Guarantor as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction.  In addition, Guarantor shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request.  Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan and the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction.  It is understood that the information provided by Guarantor to Lender including any and all financial statements provided to Lender pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus various investors or potential investors may also see some or all of the information.  Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Guarantor in the form as provided by Guarantor.  Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.

6.14                        Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.  If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest under the Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

6.15                        Gender; Number; General Definitions.  Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) words used in this Guaranty may be used interchangeably in the singular or plural form, (b) any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, (c) the word “Borrower” shall mean “each Borrower and any subsequent owner or owners of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein”, (d) the word “Lender” shall mean “Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note”, (e) the word “Note” shall mean “the Note and any other evidence of indebtedness secured by the Loan Agreement, as amended, restated or otherwise modified”, (f) the word “Property” shall include any portion of the Property and any interest therein, and (g) the phrases “attorneys’ fees”, “legal fees” and “counsel fees” shall include any and all reasonable attorneys’, paralegal and law clerk fees and disbursements, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Property, the Leases and/or the Rents and/or in enforcing its rights hereunder.

6.16                        No Waiver; Time of Essence.  The failure of any party hereto to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective obligations hereunder.  Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound.  This Guaranty is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance.  Time is of the essence hereof.

6.17                        Legal Fees, Costs and Expenses.  Guarantor further agrees to pay upon demand all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender or its successors or assigns in connection

20

with enforcing any of the rights or remedies of Lender, or such successors or assigns, under or with respect to this Guaranty including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of such attorneys.  Any such amounts which are not paid within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid.

6.18                        Assignments By Lender.  (a) Lender may at its sole cost and expense, without notice to, or consent of, Guarantor, sell, assign or transfer to or participate with any entity or entities all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, and each such entity or entities shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty and any of the other Loan Documents as fully as Lender, provided that Lender shall continue to have the unimpaired right to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty and any of the other Loan Documents as to so much of the Loan that Lender has not sold, assigned or transferred.  Lender shall give notice to Guarantor of the name, address, telephone number and contact person of any assignee of Lender within a reasonable period of time after the effective date of the assignment, provided, that failure to provide such notice shall in no way affect the validity or effect of the assignment or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  In particular, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender and its successors and assigns may (i) sell the Loan, this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents to one or more investors as a whole loan in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, (ii) grant participation interests in the Loan, to one or more investors in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, (iii) deposit this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents with a trust, which trust may sell certificates to investors evidencing an ownership in the trust assets in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, or (iv) otherwise sell the Loan or any interest therein to investors in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement.
