-------
TOGETHER with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive

and all cash collateral now due or which may become due or to which Assignor may
now or shall hereafter (including the period of redemption, if any) become

tax and insurance contributions, deficiency rents and liquidated damages
following default, the premium payable by any Lessee upon the exercise of a

-----
TOGETHER with all claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of
Assignor, whether provided for in the Leases or arising by statute or at law or
in equity or otherwise, consequent on any failure on the part of any tenant to
perform or comply with any terms of the Leases; all rights to take all action
upon the happening of a default under the Leases as shall be permitted by the
Leases or by law, including without limitation, the commencement, conduct and
consummation of proceedings at law or in equity; and the full power and
authority, in the name of Assignor or otherwise, to enforce, collect, receive
and receipt for any and all of the foregoing and to do any and all other acts
and things whatsoever which Assignor or any landlord is or may be entitled to do
under the Leases.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto the Assignee, its successors and assigns,
forever.
This Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment from Assignor
to Assignee and not merely the passing of a security interest, Assignor
reserving, however, a license to collect, except as hereinafter provided, the
Rents, as they respectively become due, but not more than one month in advance
of the date said rent is due per the terms of the applicable lease, and to
enforce the Leases, so long as no Event of Default (as such is defined in the
Credit Agreement) shall have occurred. Said license shall terminate and be
revoked automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and all Rents
and other sums then held or thereafter received by Assignor from the ownership
and operation of the Mortgaged Property shall be held by Assignor in trust for
the benefit of Assignee and Assignor shall forthwith remit same in their
entirety to Assignee or its designee and Assignee (or a Receiver appointed
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Assignment) may to the fullest
extent permitted by the Leases: (i) exercise any of Assignor's rights under the
Leases; (ii) enforce the Leases; (iii) demand, collect, xxx for, attach, levy,
recover, receive, compromise and adjust, and make, execute and deliver receipts
and releases for all Rents, and for all other payments that may then be or may
thereafter become due, owing or payable with respect to the Leases; and (iv)
generally, do, execute and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing
whatsoever that ought to be done, executed and performed in and about or with
respect to the Leases, as fully as allowed or authorized by this Assignment.
Upon the occurrence of such Event of Default Assignee shall not
4
be required to take any action whatsoever, including, without limitation,
instituting legal proceedings of any kind, to terminate Assignor's license to
collect Rents or enforce any of the other provisions or remedies contained in
the Assignment.
Assignor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1. Definitions. In this Assignment, all words and terms not
-----------
defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.
2. Intentionally Omitted.
---------------------
3. Rights and Remedies. Assignor agrees that upon the occurrence
-------------------
of an Event of Default, the license reserved herein by Assignor shall cease and
terminate, and Assignee is hereby authorized to enter and take possession of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to perform all acts necessary for
the operations and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property in the same manner and
to the same extent that Assignor might reasonably so act. It is the intention of
the parties that Assignee's right to collect the Rents due and owing may be
exercised without electing to exercise Assignee's right to enter, take over and
assume the management, operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property. In
furtherance thereof and not by way of limitation, Assignee is empowered, but
shall be under no obligation, to collect the Rents, to enforce payment thereof
and the performance of any and all other terms and provisions of the Leases, to
exercise all the rights and privileges of Assignor thereunder, including the
right to fix or modify Rents, to bring or defend any suits in connection with
the possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in its own name or
Assignor's name, to relet the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and to
collect the Rents under any new Lease. Assignee shall from time to time apply
the net amount of income after payment of all proper costs and charges,
including loss or damage referred to hereinafter in Paragraph 7, and reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and charges through all appeals to the Secured
Indebtedness. The manner of the application of such net income, the
reasonableness of the costs and charges to which such net income is applied and
the item or items which shall be credited thereby shall be within the sole and
uncontrolled discretion of Assignee. Such entry and taking possession of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, may be made by actual entry and
possession, or by written notice to Assignor, as Assignee may elect, and no
further authorization shall be required. Assignee shall only be accountable for
money actually received by it pursuant to this Assignment. Notwithstanding any
action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Paragraph 3 or otherwise in this
Assignment, neither the assignment made pursuant hereto or any such action shall
constitute Assignee as a "mortgagee in possession."
5
4. Termination of Assignment. Upon payment to Assignee of the full
-------------------------
amount of the Secured Indebtedness, as evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or
release of the Mortgage, or otherwise upon the release of the Mortgage in
accordance with its terms or the requirements of the Credit Agreement, this
Assignment shall be void and of no effect.
5. Consent to Payment of Rents. Assignor irrevocably consents that the
---------------------------
Lessees, upon demand and notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, shall pay
the Rents to Assignee without liability of the Lessees for the determination of
the actual existence of any such Event of Default claimed by Assignee. Assignor
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Lessees, upon receipt of any
notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, to pay to the Assignee the Rents
due and to become due under the Leases. Assignor agrees that the Lessees shall
have the right to rely upon any such notices of Assignee and that the Lessees
shall pay such Rents to Assignee, without any obligation and without any right
to inquire as to whether such Event of Default actually exists, notwithstanding
any claim of Assignor to the contrary. Assignor shall have no claim against any
Lessee for any Rents paid by any Lessee to Assignee. Upon the curing of the
Event of Default, Assignee shall give written notice thereof to Lessees, and
thereafter, until further notice from Assignee, Lessees shall pay the Rents to
Assignor.
6. Right to Further Assignment. Assignee shall have the right to assign
---------------------------
Assignor's right, title, and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of
the Mortgage and to any person acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property through
foreclosure or otherwise. The receipt by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this
Assignment after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under the Mortgage
shall not cure such default nor affect such proceedings or any sale pursuant
thereto. After Assignor shall have been barred and foreclosed of all right,
title, interest, and equity of redemption in the Mortgaged Property, no assignee
of Assignor's interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Assignor for
the Rents thereafter accruing.
7. Indemnity. Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Assignee
---------
harmless from and against any and all costs and expenses, liability, loss, or
damage (including, without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, costs,
expenses and charges through all appeals but excluding any such costs and
expenses, liability, loss or damage to the extent incurred (x) by reason of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final order or
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of Assignee, or (y) in any
litigation in which Assignee and Assignor are adverse to each other, and in
which the Assignor prevails on its claims and the Assignee does not prevail on
its defenses or its counterclaims interposed in such litigation) which Assignee
may incur (a) under any of the Leases, (b) by reason of this Assignment, (c)
arising from any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment, (d) as a
result of any claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason
of any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or discharged by
Assignee under any of the Leases or this
6
Assignment, or (e) the enforcement (or attempted enforcement) of this indemnity.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to bind Assignee to the performance
of any of the terms and provisions contained in any of the Leases, or otherwise
to impose any obligation on Assignee until such time as Assignee shall have
succeeded to the interests of Assignor under the Leases through foreclosure of
the Mortgage, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
Prior to actual entry and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by
Assignee, this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the
control, care, management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Assignee or
for the carrying out of any of the terms and provisions of any Lease. Should
Assignee incur any liability by reason of actual entry and taking possession or
for any other reason or occurrence or sustain loss or damage under any Lease or
under or by reason of this Assignment or in the defense of any such claims or
demands, Assignee shall within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor from
Assignee, reimburse Assignee for the amount thereof, including interest at the
rate provided in the Credit Agreement, or the highest rate permitted by law,
whichever is lesser, together with all costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and charges), and may
retain possession and collect the Rents and, from time to time, apply them in or
toward satisfaction of or reimbursement for said loss or damage.
8. Receiver. Without limiting any other provision of this Assignment,
--------
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee shall be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver, supervisor, trustee, liquidator, conservator or other
custodian (a "Receiver") of the Mortgaged Property, without notice to the
--------
Assignor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as a matter of right and
without regard to or the necessity to disprove the adequacy of the security for
the Secured Indebtedness or the solvency of the Assignor or any other obligor,
and the Assignor hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrevocably waives such necessity and consents to such appointment, without
notice, said appointee to be vested with the fullest powers permitted under
applicable law. Any funds received by Assignee or such Receiver hereunder, after
payment of all proper costs and charges, shall be applied to the Secured
Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the
Mortgage. Assignee shall be accountable to Assignor only for monies actually
received by Assignee or such Receiver pursuant to this Assignment. The
collection of said funds and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure
or waive any default or waive, modify or affect any notice of default hereunder
or under the Mortgage or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
Nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to: (a) obligate
Assignee, or a Receiver to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions
contained in the Leases or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Assignee or
such Receiver with respect to the Leases; or (b) place upon Assignee or such
Receiver any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or
repair of the Mortgaged Property.
7
9. Lease Enforcement. Assignor at its expense will enforce all material
-----------------
provisions of the Leases in accordance with their terms, except to the extent
(i) failure to enforce such material provisions would not materially reduce the
economic benefits to be derived from Assignor under any such Lease or (ii)
Assignee consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Assignee shall
release (i) any Lessee, (ii) any guarantor of any Lease or (iii) Assignor from
any of their respective obligations under the Leases or constitute an assumption
of any such obligation on the part of Assignee. No action or failure to act on
the part of Assignor shall adversely affect or limit the rights of Assignee
under this Assignment or, through this Assignment, under the Leases.
10. Further Assurances. Assignor will, from time to time, upon request
------------------
of Assignee or a Receiver, execute all instruments and further assurances and
all supplemental instruments and take all such action as Assignee from time to
time may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve and protect the
interests intended to be assigned to Assignee hereby.
11. Assignor's Lease Covenants. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
--------------------------
in the Credit Agreement (i) the Leases shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of any merger of the interest of the lessor and Lessees thereunder;
(ii) Assignor will perform all of its covenants and agreements as lessor under
the Leases, and will not suffer or permit to occur any release of liability of
any Lessee or the accrual of any right in any Lessee to withhold payment of
Rents; (iii) Assignor will give prompt notice to Assignee of any notice of
default, event of default, cancellation or surrender received from any Lessee or
from any other person with respect to any Lease and furnish Assignee with
complete copies of any said notice; (iv) Assignor shall not unilaterally or by
agreement, subordinate, amend, modify, extend, discharge, terminate, surrender,
waive or otherwise change any term of any of the Leases; and (v) if requested by
Assignee, Assignor will enforce the Leases and all remedies available to
Assignor against the Lessees in case of default under any Lease by a Lessee. All
rights, powers and privileges of Assignee herein set forth are coupled with an
interest and are irrevocable. If the Leases shall be amended as permitted
hereby, they shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof without the
necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.
12. Notices. Notices and other communications provided for herein shall
-------
be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed (or if by facsimile
communications equipment, delivered by such equipment) addressed, (a) if to the
Assignee, to it at Agency Management, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Mail Code:
CA5-701-05-19, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxx,

Attn: General Counsel, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000, with a courtesy copy to
Barack, Ferrazzano, Kirschbaum, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Attn: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Facsimile No.: (312)
984-3150, or (c) such other address as such party may from time to time
designate by giving written notice to the other parties hereunder. Any failure
of any Person giving notice pursuant to this Section to provide a courtesy copy
to a party as provided herein shall not affect the validity of such notice. All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Assignment shall be deemed to have been given (x) on the
date of receipt, when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, if by mail, (y) when delivered, if delivered by hand
or overnight courier service or (z) when receipt is acknowledged, if by
facsimile communications equipment, in each case addressed to such party as
provided in this Section or in accordance with the latest unrevoked written
direction from such party. No notice to or demand on Assignor shall entitle
Assignor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
13. Governing Law: Severability. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
---------------------------
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE
REAL PROPERTY IS LOCATED. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, EACH PROVISION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT
SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY
OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE
EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINING
PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT.
14. Recording. Assignor shall pay all recording and filing fees in
---------
respect to this Assignment and any agreements, instruments and documents made
pursuant to the terms hereof or ancillary hereto, as well as any and all taxes
and fees which may be due and payable on the recording of this Assignment and
any taxes and fees hereafter imposed on this Assignment. Should Assignor fail to
pay the same, all such recording and filing fees and taxes may be paid by
Assignee on behalf of Assignor and the amount thereof, together with interest at
the applicable rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, shall be payable by
Assignor to Assignee within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor from
Assignee, or at the option of Assignee, Assignee may reimburse itself therefor
out of the Rents collected by Assignee. Assignor agrees that any such charge
shall not be deemed to be additional interest or a penalty, but shall be deemed
to be liquidated damages because of the difficulty in computing the actual
amount of damages in advance; provided, however, that any sums collected by
Assignee as liquidated damages, as aforesaid, which are held to be interest in
excess of the maximum rate permitted by law, shall be
9
deemed a payment in reduction of the principal sum then outstanding under the
Credit Agreement and shall be so applied.
15. Rights Cumulative; No Waiver. The rights and remedies herein
----------------------------
expressed to be vested in or conferred upon the Assignee shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to and not in substitution for or in derogation of the
rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Mortgage and other
Fundamental Documents or conferred by any applicable law. The failure, at any
one or more times, of the Assignee to exercise any right under any covenant or
stipulation herein contained shall not in any way affect this Assignment nor the
rights of the Assignee hereunder, nor operate as a release from any personal
liability of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and/or the other
Fundamental Documents, nor under any covenant or stipulation therein contained.
16. Miscellaneous. The headings of the sections, paragraphs and
-------------
subdivisions of this Assignment are for the convenience of reference only, are
not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any
of the terms hereof. Whenever in this Assignment one of the parties hereto is
named or referred to, the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns
of such party shall be included and all covenants and agreements contained in
this Assignment by or on behalf of Assignor or by or on behalf of Assignee shall
bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. Whenever the singular or
plural number, masculine or feminine or neuter gender is used herein, it shall
equally include the other. No change, amendment, modification, abridgement,
cancellation or discharge hereof or of any part hereof, shall be valid unless
consented in writing by Assignee.
17. Conflict. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any
--------
provision of this Assignment and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the
Credit Agreement shall control.
