on the part of either party.
Section 2. REVOCABLE LICENSE. Assignee hereby gives Assignor a revocable
license to collect the Income and to retain, use and enjoy the same and to
exercise the rights granted herein. The license herein granted may be revoked by
Assignee by written notice to Assignor upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default.
Section 3. ASSIGNEE'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default under this Assignment or any other
Financing Document, Assignee shall have all of the rights, remedies and benefits
granted to it under the Mortgage with respect to the Leases and Income, it being
agreed and understood that for purposes of this SECTION 3, (i) the term
"Mortgaged Property" as used in the Mortgage includes the Site, the Facilities,
the Easement Premises, the Leases and Income, (ii) references therein to
"Mortgagor" shall be deemed to be references to Assignor and (iii) references
therein to "Mortgagee" shall be deemed to be references to Assignee.
Section 4. RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. If a Trigger Event
shall have occurred and be continuing and Assignee shall have received the
Senior Party Certificates from the Required Senior Parties pursuant to Section
2.3(a) of the Collateral Agency Agreement, and in addition to the right to
collect, use and apply Income as more fully described in SECTION 5 below, and
whether or not foreclosure has or shall have been instituted, Assignee shall
have the unqualified and absolute right to enter upon and take possession of,
and manage and operate, any part of or all of the Mortgaged Property and to
carry on the business and exercise the rights and powers of Assignor with
respect to the Mortgaged Property.
Section 5. RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF INCOME. If a Trigger Event shall have
occurred and be continuing and Assignee shall have received the Senior Party
Certificates from the Required Senior Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the
Collateral Agency Agreement, Assignee shall have the unqualified and absolute
right, whether or not Assignee takes possession of the Mortgaged Property but
subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage, to receive the Income
and to use and apply the Income in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
provided that Assignee shall first have the right to apply Income to (i) the
operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property (as more fully described in
SECTION 4 above) and (ii) the payment of the Secured Obligations until the same
have been repaid in full.
Section 6. RELEASE. Assignee shall not, if in fact it chooses to exercise
any or all of the rights given to Assignee in SECTIONS 4 and 5 (collectively,
the "RIGHTS"), be liable to Assignor for any act done or anything omitted to be
done by it in good faith in connection with the management or operation of the
Mortgaged Property, except for the consequences of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
Section 7. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Assignee (acting itself or by its agents, servants or attorneys, or by
such officers or agents as it may appoint, or by a court-appointed receiver) its
true and lawful attorney and agent, coupled with an interest, to undertake and
execute, if a Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing and Assignee
shall have received the Senior Party Certificates from the Required
3
Senior Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Collateral Agency Agreement,
any or all of the Rights with the same force and effect as if undertaken or
executed by Assignor.
Section 8. UNTIL AND UNLESS LICENSE REVOKED. Until and unless the license
granted in SECTION 2 above is so revoked, Assignor agrees to collect and receive
the Income and to apply the Income in accordance with the Indenture or otherwise
to the payment of the Secured Obligations, and all expenses that Assignor may be
authorized to make under this Assignment, the Mortgage or the other Financing
Documents. In no event shall the execution and delivery of this Assignment or
the exercise by Assignee (if Assignee so chooses) of any of the Rights, release
Assignor from any of its obligations under any of the Leases or be deemed to be
a waiver by Assignee or its successors and assigns of the right to enforce the
Secured Obligations in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Assignment, the Mortgage and the other Financing Documents.
Section 9. NO FURTHER ASSIGNMENT. Assignor covenants that so long as any of
the Secured Obligations shall remain unpaid, Assignor will make no assignment,
pledge or other disposition of, nor encumber, any of the Leases or the Income
except as permitted under the terms of the Indenture.
Section 10. SCHEDULE OF LEASES. At any time, and from time to time, on
reasonable notice from Assignee, Assignor shall deliver to Assignee a schedule
of all Leases then in effect, which schedule shall include such information as
Assignee may reasonably request. If requested by Assignee, Assignor shall also
deliver photocopies of all Leases accompanied by the certificate of Assignor
that such copies are true and complete.
Section 11. NOTICE TO TENANTS. Assignor, for the benefit of Assignee and
each Tenant, hereby covenants and agrees that a notice in writing by Assignee to
Tenants advising them that Assignor has suffered an Event of Default hereunder
and requesting that all future payments of rent, additional rent or other
charges under the Leases be made to Assignee (or its agent) or to accept
performance by Assignee of Assignor's obligations under the Leases, as the case
may be, shall be construed as conclusive authority to such Tenants that such
payments are to be made to Assignee (or its agent) or such performance is to be
accepted from Assignee (or its agent). Such Tenants shall be fully released and
protected by Assignor in making such payments to or accepting such performance
from Assignee (or its agent); and Assignor hereby waives any claims against such
Tenants and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Assignee the attorney-in-fact
and agent of Assignor, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of endorsing
the consent of Assignor on any such notice.
Section 12. ATTORNMENT BY TENANTS. In the event Assignee or its designee
acquires the Premises pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding or a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, each party under a Lease shall, at the option of Assignee, attorn
to any Person succeeding to the interest of Assignor as a result of such action
and shall recognize such Person in the place of Assignor under the applicable
Lease without change in the terms or other provisions thereof. To the extent
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such Person shall not be (i) liable
for any act or omission of any Person preceding such Person under such Lease
(including Assignor), (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses against any Person
preceding such Person (including Assignor), or (iii) bound by (a) any payment of
rent or additional rent made more than one month
4
in advance of its due date (b) any obligation to make any payment to, or to
undertake or complete any construction for, such tenant, or (c) any amendment or
modification of any such Lease made without Assignee's consent and which,
pursuant to the Financing Documents, required Assignee's consent. Each party to
a Lease shall, upon request of Assignee or such Person, execute and deliver
instruments confirming such attornment, but Assignor shall have no liability if
such party fails to do so.
Section 13. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of
Assignee hereunder are cumulative and are not in lieu of, but are in addition
to, and shall not be affected by the exercise of, and may be exercised
concurrently with, any other rights and remedies which Assignee shall have under
or by virtue of law or equity, this Assignment or any other Financing Document.
Section 14. ASSIGNMENT BY ASSIGNEE. Assignee may assign its interest in
this Assignment to any subsequent holder of the Mortgage or to any party who
acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure or pursuant to a deed in lieu
thereof. No such party who acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure or deed
in lieu thereof shall be liable to account to Assignor for any Income thereafter
accruing.
Section 15. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any "Event of Default" as defined under the
Mortgage shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

or related thereto, shall be obtainable by the Senior Parties or the Collateral
Agent against the Assignor or any other incorporator, stockholder, officer,
employee or director past, present or future of the Assignor or any Affiliate of

taking of any action permitted by law against the Assignor or any of its
Affiliates, or in any way affect or impair the rights of the Collateral Agent or
Senior Parties to take any action permitted by law, in either case to realize
upon the Collateral and, provided further, that nothing herein shall be deemed
to affect the obligations of any Affiliate of the Assignor under any Transaction
Document (as such terms is defined in the Indenture) to which such Affiliate is
