RECITALS:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement"), by and between Borrower and Manager, a true, correct and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Manager provides certain management services relating to the Mortgaged Property and Manager is entitled to certain fees provided therein (collectively, the "Management Fee");
WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan made to Borrower (the "Loan"), which Loan is evidenced by that certain Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, by and between Lender and Borrower, and by that certain Promissory Note (the "Note"), dated as of the date hereof, by Borrower to Lender in the original principal amount of $13,000,000.00;
WHEREAS, the Loan is secured by, among other things, that certain Mortgage, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the "Lien Instrument"), dated as of the date hereof, by Borrower and encumbering the property described therein (the “Mortgaged Property”). The Loan Agreement, the Note, the Lien Instrument, this Assignment and all other documents now or hereafter executed or delivered in connection with the Loan are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents"; and
WHEREAS, Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Borrower assign the Management Agreement to Lender and that Manager subordinate its interest in the Management Fee to the lien of the Lien Instrument and the payment of all amounts accruing under the Loan Documents as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Assignment of Management Agreement. As additional security for the Loan, Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest (but not Borrower's obligations) in and to the Management Agreement, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable, with full power of substitution in the name of Borrower, to do all things and to execute and deliver all documents and receipt for all monies which are necessary or desirable in the performance or enforcement of the Management Agreement.
2. Subordination of Management Agreement and Management Fee. The Management Agreement, the Management Fee, and any and all liens, rights, interests and privileges (whether xxxxxx or inchoate and including, without limitation, all mechanic's and materialmen's liens under applicable law) owed, claimed or held by Manager, as applicable, in and to the Mortgaged Property are hereby and shall at all times continue to be subject and unconditionally subordinate in all respects to the lien and security interests created or to be created for the benefit of Lender under, and to the terms, covenants and provisions of, the Loan Documents, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, assignments, replacements, or consolidations thereof and the rights, privileges, and powers of Lender thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Manager shall be entitled to receive the Management Fee, provided that, any Management Fee in excess of four percent (4%) of gross revenues shall not be paid to or collected by Manager unless all amounts then payable under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full and all operating expenses for the Mortgaged Property are paid in full.
3. Borrower's Covenants. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that Borrower will (a) fulfill and perform in all material respects the material terms, covenants and provisions of the Management Agreement to be fulfilled or performed by Borrower thereunder; (b) give prompt written notice to Lender of any written notice received by Borrower under the Management Agreement, together with a complete copy of any such notice; (c) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance and observance of the material terms, covenants and provisions of the Management Agreement to be performed or observed by Manager; (d) not assign the Management Agreement or its rights and obligations thereunder, except for this Assignment and as may be otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents (and Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that no previous assignment of its interest in the Management Agreement has been made); and (e) not terminate or amend the Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4. Manager’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Manager represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Lender, as of the date hereof, that (a) Manager has agreed to act as manager of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Management Agreement; (b) the entire agreement between Manager and Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property is evidenced by the Management Agreement; (c) the Management Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Manager, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and Manager has full authority under all state and local laws and regulations, to perform all of its obligations under the Management Agreement; (d) neither Manager nor Borrower is in default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Management Agreement and all payments and fees required to be paid by Borrower to Manager thereunder have been paid to the date hereof; (e) Manager will deliver to Lender copies of any notices, demands or reports delivered by Manager to Borrower under the Management Agreement (simultaneously with delivery to Borrower) and copies of all material notices received or given by Manager with respect to any portion of the Mortgaged Property; and (f) immediately upon the occurrence of a Manager Control Change (defined below), Manager shall give notice of such change to Lender. Manager does hereby waive any option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property described in the Management Agreement or otherwise held by Manager, including, without limitation, any such right which would be initiated in the event of an acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by Lender (or any nominee or designee of Lender) or any purchase and/or acquisition of the Mortgaged Property at foreclosure pursuant to the Lien Instrument or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

5. Additional Manager Covenants Regarding the Management Agreement. Until such time as the Loan shall have been paid in full, together with any and all other amounts which shall be due and payable under the terms of the Loan Documents, Manager shall not take any of the following actions with respect to the Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed:
(a) declare a default under the Management Agreement or exercise any of its remedies under the Management Agreement (including, without limitation, terminating the Management Agreement) without first notifying Lender in writing of any default by Borrower, simultaneously with notice to Borrower under the Management Agreement or, if the Management Agreement shall not require notice to Borrower with respect to such default, promptly after Manager becomes aware thereof, and Lender shall have a cure period of thirty (30) days from the later of the date of receipt of such notice by Lender or the expiration of any cure period granted to Borrower under the Management Agreement with respect to such default, to cure any such default (or if such default is not curable within said 30-day period, such additional time as is required by Lender, provided that, Lender commences such action within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure such default; provided further that, if such default by Borrower is not susceptible to cure by Lender, such default shall be deemed waived by Manager upon Lender taking possession of the Mortgaged Property);
(b) enter into any agreement modifying or amending the Management Agreement or increasing Borrower's obligations or reducing Borrower's rights under the Management Agreement or increasing Manager's rights or decreasing Manager's obligations thereunder and any such modification or amendment without Lender's consent shall not be binding upon Lender;
(c) commence any legal proceedings against Borrower or commence any remedial action against the Mortgaged Property;
(d) commence or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding by or against Borrower; or
(e) assign any of its rights or obligations under the Management Agreement.
6. Termination of Management Agreement by Lender.
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents, Lender may terminate the Management Agreement, by notice to Borrower and Manager, effective ten (10) days after delivery of such notice (i) For Cause (as defined below); (ii) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents; or (iii) after any change in control of Manager (a "Manager Control Change"). The term "For Cause" shall mean Manager's gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud or Manager's default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or grace period in the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement. The term "control" shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Manager, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, to the extent fifty percent (50%) in the direct or indirect ownership of Manager should change, such change shall be deemed to be a change in control of Manager.

(b) Upon such termination (i) Manager and Borrower shall cooperate with any successor manager to ensure an orderly transfer of the management of the Mortgaged Property and shall turn over all books and records, funds, contracts, leases, agreements and equipment, if any, held by Manager relating to the Mortgaged Property; and (ii) Manager shall be entitled only to the payment of any Management Fees earned prior to the termination of the Management Agreement and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Management Agreement, no monetary penalties, termination or similar fees shall be paid to Manager, (iii) Manager shall look solely to Borrower, and not to Lender, for the payment of any sums due to Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement or any obligations on the part of Borrower under the Management Agreement, and (iv) to the extent permitted by law, Manager hereby waives any and all rights to file any lien or encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property relating thereto.
7. Subsequent Owner’s Right to Continue or Terminate the Management Agreement.
(a) If Lender (including any nominee or designee of Lender) or any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property at foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure shall take title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property (a “Subsequent Owner”), Manager shall, at the request of such Subsequent Owner, continue performance, on behalf of such Subsequent Owner, of all of Manager's obligations under the terms of the Management Agreement, provided that, such Subsequent Owner shall give Manager notice of such request and such Subsequent Owner performs or causes to be performed the obligations of Borrower under the Management Agreement accruing or arising from and after the effective date of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Agreement shall be terminable at the option of any Subsequent Owner by written notice to Manager, effective ten (10) days after delivery of such notice, at any time prior to any request by such Subsequent Owner to continue performance, and such Subsequent Owner waives the right to subsequently terminate the Management Agreement (except pursuant to Section 7(b)). The terms and provisions of Section 6(b) shall apply to any termination under this Section.
(b) In the event a Subsequent Owner requests Manager to continue performing under Section 7(a) and then subsequently sells, assigns or transfers the Mortgaged Property to a third party, such Subsequent Owner may terminate the Management Agreement by written notice to Manager, effective ten (10) days after delivery of such notice. The terms and provisions of Section 6(b) shall apply to any termination under this Section.
