of creditors) in respect of any tenant or occupant of any portion of
the Project (each, a "Tenant"), together with all guaranties thereof
and all extensions, amendments and modifications thereto heretofore or
hereafter entered into, and all right, title and interest of Borrower
thereunder (collectively, the "Leases"); and

other documents or instruments evidencing the Rent whether now or

irrevocable consent of Borrower to the entry upon and taking possession of the
Project by the Administrative Agent and the exercise by the Administrative Agent
of the rights and powers granted pursuant hereto, including, without limitation,
those set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) below, regardless of whether

(i) the immediate and continuing right to receive and collect all amounts
payable by all Tenants, including, without limitation, (A) all Rents,
(B) all damages or other amounts payable in the event of any
expiration or termination of any Lease pursuant to the terms thereof,
by operation of law or otherwise, (C) any indemnification against, or

(v) the full power and authority, in the name of Borrower, or otherwise,
to enforce any Lease, including the right to settle, compromise,
release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances,
adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations under the
Leases;
4
(vi) the full power and authority, in the name of Borrower, or otherwise,
to notify any Person that the Leases have been assigned to the
Administrative Agent and that all Rents are to be paid directly to the
Administrative Agent, whether or not the Administrative Agent has
commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Project;
(vii) the full power and authority, in the name of Borrower, or otherwise,
to lease the Project; and
(viii) the right to apply the Rents to the payment of the Obligations (as
such term is defined in the Mortgage) in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.
(b) During the term hereof, all rights, powers and privileges of the
Administrative Agent herein set forth are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and Borrower will not
take any action under any Lease or otherwise which is inconsistent with this
Assignment or any of the terms hereof or thereof and any such action
inconsistent herewith or therewith shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be void. Any further assignment of any rents, issues, or profits
from the Project shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be void.
(c) Borrower shall have all the right to enter into new leases or modify
existing leases as provided in the Loan Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees that
it will not, unilaterally or by agreement, (i) except as otherwise expressly
permitted in the Loan Agreement, subordinate, amend, modify, extend, discharge,
terminate, surrender, waive or otherwise change any term of any Lease in any
manner which would violate this Assignment, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or (ii) except for security deposits, accept a prepayment of Rent in
excess of Rent for one month. If any Lease shall be amended as permitted hereby,
such Lease shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof without the
necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto, subject to the
provisions of any non-disturbance agreement which the Administrative Agent may
have granted in accordance with the provisions of this Assignment.
Section 3. No Obligation.
(a) Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall be construed to bind
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the performance of any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or other
document or otherwise to impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or
any Lender (including any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment
contained in any Lease), except that the Administrative Agent shall be
accountable for any money or security actually received pursuant to such
assignment.
(b) None of the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Assignment or
any other remedies afforded to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under
the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee-in-possession of the
Project, to obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to lease the Project
or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or
discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases
or otherwise.
5
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment,
the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any
obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or by reason of this Assignment
and Borrower shall, and hereby agrees at its sole cost and expense to protect,
defend, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless for, from and
against, and shall be responsible for, any and all liability, loss or damage
which may or might be incurred under the Leases or under or by reason of this
Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the
defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against the
Administrative Agent by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on
its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements
contained in the Leases, except to the extent such liability, loss, damage or
claim has resulted solely from Administrative Agent's or any Lender's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, in which case the party to whom the gross
negligence or willful misconduct is attributable (but not any other party) shall
not be entitled to the indemnification provided for hereunder to the extent of
such gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 4. Grant of License; Revocation. Until the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the Administrative Agent waives its rights under Sections 1 and 2,
and grants Borrower a license to collect the Rents. Such license to collect and
receive the Rents shall be automatically revoked and the rights of Borrower
thereunder shall automatically cease and terminate upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. In such event, (i) Borrower
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to receive and collect the Rents due
under the terms of each Lease and to direct any Tenant, by written notice from
the Administrative Agent or otherwise, to forward such Rents by mail or in
person to the Administrative Agent and (ii) Borrower shall immediately pay to
the Administrative Agent any Rents held by or under the control of Borrower.
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Agent as
Borrower's lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power
of substitution, for the purpose of taking, during the continuance of an Event
of Default, any of the actions described in the immediately preceding sentence
and all acts incidental thereto. Following the revocation of the license herein
granted, the Administrative Agent may retain and apply the Rents toward payment
of the Obligations and/or Operating Expenses in such order, priority and
proportions as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, shall deem proper,
or to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have commenced a foreclosure of this
Assignment or shall have applied or arranged for the appointment of a receiver
with respect thereto.
Section 5. Direction to Tenants. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs each Tenant of the Project, upon receipt of notice from the
Administrative Agent of an Event of Default, to pay all Rents due or to become
due under its Lease directly to the Administrative Agent or to any appointed
receiver of the Project. Each such Tenant shall have the right to rely upon any
such notice of the Administrative Agent directing the payment of all Rents to
the Administrative Agent, without any obligation to inquire as to the actual
existence of the Event of Default, notwithstanding any claim of Borrower to the
contrary and Borrower shall have no rights or claims against any Tenant for any
Rents so paid to the Administrative Agent. Borrower shall facilitate, in all
commercially reasonable ways, the collection of the Rents by the Administrative
Agent and will, upon request by the Administrative Agent, execute a written
notice to each Tenant directing the Tenant to pay the Rents payable under such
Tenant's respective Lease to the Administrative Agent. Each Tenant is hereby
expressly authorized and directed, upon demand by the Administrative Agent and
6
without the necessity of any further consent by, or notice from, Borrower, to
attorn to the Administrative Agent as the owner of the Leases and to pay any and
all Rents due to Borrower pursuant to such Tenant's Lease directly to the
Administrative Agent or to any appointed receiver, and to observe and perform
such Tenant's obligations under the Tenant's Lease to or for the Administrative
Agent and to accept performance of the landlord's obligations under the Lease
from the Administrative Agent. Each Tenant is hereby expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so
made. The payment of Rents to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the
Administrative Agent's demand and the performance of obligations under any Lease
to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent shall not cause the
Administrative Agent to assume or be bound by any of the provisions of any such
Lease and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations thereunder.
Section 6. Remedies Cumulative.
(a) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other right or remedy under this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, or
under Applicable Law, whether now or hereafter existing; the failure of the
Administrative Agent to insist at any time upon the strict observance or
performance of any of the provisions of this Assignment or to exercise any right
or remedy provided for herein or under Applicable Law, shall not impair any such
right or remedy nor be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce payment and
performance of any of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers
under this Assignment or under any Loan Document or any laws now or hereafter in
force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter
be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien,
assignment or otherwise; neither the acceptance of this Assignment nor its
enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Administrative Agent's
right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the
Administrative Agent, it being stipulated that the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to enforce this Assignment, any of the Security Documents and any other
security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent in such order and
manner as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; every
power or remedy given by the Loan Agreement, this Assignment or any of the other
Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent, or to which the Administrative Agent
is otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent may pursue inconsistent remedies.
Section 7. No Impairment; No Release. The interests and rights of Borrower
under this Assignment shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any
renewal, extension or modification which the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders may grant with respect to any of the Obligations; (ii) any surrender,
compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may grant with respect to the Project or
any portion thereof; or (iii) any waiver, release or indulgence granted to any
maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Obligations.
7
Section 8. Further Assurances. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and
without expense to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, execute, acknowledge
and deliver all and every such further acts, conveyances, assignments, notices
of assignments, transfers and assurances as the Administrative Agent shall, from
time to time, reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning,
transferring and confirming unto the Administrative Agent the property and
rights hereby assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower
may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Administrative
Agent, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the
terms of this Assignment or for filing, registering or recording this Assignment
and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute in the name of Borrower to the extent the
Administrative Agent may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements,
chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to evidence more
effectively the lien and security interest hereof in and upon the Leases.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Release by the Administrative Agent. A full and complete release and
reconveyance of the Deed of Trust shall operate as a full and complete release
of all Administrative Agent's rights hereunder. Upon the request of Borrower
upon the termination of the Commitments under and as defined in the Loan
Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent,
at Borrower's cost and expense, shall terminate this Assignment by an instrument
duly acknowledged in form for recording.
(b) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations,
approvals, directions, consents and other communications provided for herein

directions, consents and other communications to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of all of the Lenders.
