and/or applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.
Section 2.3 Incorporation by Reference. All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as the same may be modified, renewed, substituted or extended from time to time, are hereby made a part of this Assignment to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
ARTICLE 3
REMEDIES
Section 3.1 Remedies of Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the license granted to Borrower in Section 2.1 of this Assignment shall automatically be revoked and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Property; provided, however, that upon the waiver or cure which is accepted by Lender of the Event of Default, the license granted to Borrower in Section 2.1 of this Agreement will automatically be reinstated. In addition, Lender may, at its option, while an Event of Default is continuing, without waiving such Event of Default, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, either in person or by agent, nominee or attorney, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants from the Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise (other than liability arising as a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents, employees or Affiliates) and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of the Property and all books, records and accounts relating thereto, and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as Lender may deem proper and, either with or without taking possession of the Property, in its own name, demand, xxx for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents and all sums due under all Lease Guaranties, including, without limitation, those past due and unpaid (with all such Rents and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties to be deposited into the Clearing Account to the extent and as required by the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Clearing Account Agreement), with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as Lender may reasonably deem proper. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may (1) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender reasonably deems advisable, (2) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower, including, without limitation, the right to negotiate, execute, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive all Rents from the Property and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties (with all such Rents and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties to be deposited into the Clearing Account to the extent and as required by the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Clearing Account Agreement), and/or (3) either (i) require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in the possession of Borrower, or (ii) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.
4
Section 3.2 Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Lender pursuant to the power and rights granted to Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Lender of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Lender under the terms thereof. The right of Lender to collect the Obligations and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Lender either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations of Borrower under this Assignment, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by Lender to collect same, or any portion thereof, or to enforce and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Assignment, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Lender in any separate action or proceeding).
Section 3.3 Other Security. Lender may (i) take or release other security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor, and/or (iii) apply any other security held by it to the payment and performance of the Obligations, in each instance, without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.
Section 3.4 Non-Waiver. The exercise by Lender of the option granted it in Section 3.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents and the sums due under the Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as provided in the Loan Documents shall not be considered a waiver of any Default or Event of Default by Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, this Assignment or the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents (except to the extent expressly provided in a written modification or supplement executed by Lender). Lender may resort for the payment and performance of the Obligations to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. Lender may take any action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Lender under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.
5
Section 3.5 Bankruptcy.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject such Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after Lender’s notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

6
Borrower so to do Lender may, at its option and upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice, declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable. Unless and until Lender or its Affiliate or designee shall become the owner of the Property, this Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any Lease Guaranties; nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger, unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Lender or its agents, employees or Affiliates.
