TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto Assignee, its successors and assigns.

 

IT IS AGREED that this Assignment is made upon the following terms, covenants and conditions:

 

1. Assignor represents, warrants and covenants to and for the benefit of Assignee: (a) that Assignor now is the absolute owner of the landlord’s interest in the Percentage Lease, the only Lease by Assignor at the Property as of the date hereof, with full right and title to assign the same and the Rents due or to become due thereunder; (b) that, other than this Assignment and those assignments, if any, specifically permitted in the Mortgage, there are no other outstanding assignments of the Percentage Lease or Assignor’s interest in the Rents; (c) that no Rents have been anticipated, discounted, released, waived, compromised or otherwise discharged under the Percentage Lease, except for prepayment of rent of not more than one (1) month prior to the accrual thereof, unless otherwise permitted in the Percentage Lease; (d) that there are no material defaults now existing under the Percentage Lease by the landlord or tenant, and there exists no state of facts which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under the Percentage Lease by the landlord or tenant, except as disclosed in writing to Assignee; (e) that Assignor has and shall duly and punctually observe and perform all covenants, conditions and agreements in the Percentage Lease on the part of the landlord to be observed and performed thereunder, and (f) the Percentage Lease is in full force and effect and is the valid and binding obligation of Assignor, and, to the knowledge of Assignor, are the valid and binding obligation of the tenant thereto.

 

2. Notwithstanding that this instrument is a present, absolute and executed assignment of the Rents and of the Leases and a present, absolute and executed grant of the powers herein granted to Assignee, Assignor is hereby permitted, and is hereby granted a revocable license by Assignee, to retain possession of the Leases and to collect and retain the Rents unless and until there shall be an Event of Default under this Assignment, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. In the event of the occurrence and continuance of such Event of Default, the aforementioned license granted to Assignor shall automatically terminate without notice to Assignor, and Assignee may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, take possession of the Leases and collect the Rents to the extent of Assignor’s interest therein.

 


Further, from and after such termination, Assignor shall be the agent of Assignee in collection of the Rents to the extent of Assignor’s interest therein, and any Rents so collected by Assignor shall be held in trust by Assignor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Assignee, and Assignor shall, within three (3) business days after receipt of any Rents, pay the same to Assignee to be applied by Assignee as hereinafter set forth. Furthermore, from and after the occurrence and continuance of such Event of Default and termination of the aforementioned license, Assignee shall have the right and authority, without any notice whatsoever to Assignor and without regard to the adequacy of the security therefor, to: (a) manage and operate the Property, with full power to employ agents to manage the same; (b) demand, collect, receive and sue for the Rents, including those past due and unpaid; and (c) do all acts relating to such management, operation, rental, leasing, repair improvement and alteration of the Property as Assignee in its sole subjective judgment and discretion shall determine, subject to rights of the tenant and operator under the Percentage Lease or under agreements not terminated pursuant to the Loan Documents. Assignee may apply the Rents received by Assignee from the Property, after deducting the costs of collection thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and a reasonable management fee for any management agent so employed, against amounts expended for repairs, upkeep, maintenance, service, fuel, utilities, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and such other expenses as Assignee incurs in connection with the operation of the Property and against interest, principal, required escrow deposits and other sums which have or which may become due, from time to time, under the terms of the Loan Documents, in such order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Assignee, in its sole subjective discretion, may determine.

 

3. Without limiting the rights granted hereinabove, in the event Assignor shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required under the terms hereof and such failure shall not be cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if none, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Assignee, then Assignee may, but shall not be obligated to, without prior notice to or demand on Assignor, and without releasing Assignor from any obligation hereof, make or perform the same in such manner and to such extent as Assignee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation, appearing in and defending any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Assignee, performing or discharging any obligation, covenant or agreement of Assignor under any of the Leases, and, in exercising any of such powers, paying all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses, employing counsel and incurring and paying reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any sum advanced or paid by Assignee for any such purpose, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date paid or advanced by Assignee until repaid by Assignor, shall immediately be due and payable to Assignee by Assignor on demand and shall be secured by the Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

 

4. This Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Assignee, nor for the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any of the Leases, nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants, guests or any other party or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by

 


Assignor resulting from Assignee’s failure to let the Property or from any other act or omission of Assignee in managing the Property. This Assignment shall not be construed as making Assignee a mortgagee in possession. Assignee is obligated to account to Assignor only for such Rents as are actually collected or received by Assignee.

 

5. Assignor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, claim, demand or damage which may or might be incurred by reason of this Assignment, including, without limitation, claims or demands for security deposits from tenants or guests of space in the Improvements deposited with Assignor, and from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Leases, excluding Assignee’s gross negligence and willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Should Assignee incur any liability by reason of this Assignment or in defense of any claim or demand for loss or damage as provided above, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereof at the Default Interest Rate from the date paid or incurred by Assignee until repaid by Assignor, shall be immediately due and payable to Assignee by Assignor upon demand and shall be secured by the Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

 

6. Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee as its attorney-in-fact which power of attorney is coupled with an interest by virtue of this Assignment and is irrevocable so long as any sums are outstanding under the loan evidenced by the Note to, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Assignor hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, do, make or perform any act, right or privilege which Assignee shall have under or by virtue of this Assignment.

 

7. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not, without the prior written consent of Assignee, further pledge, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or future payments of Rents, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of the Mortgage.

 

8. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall, at its sole cost and expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of, or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of the landlord or tenant thereunder to the extent necessary to preserve Assignee’s material rights under the Leases, and if Assignor shall fail to do so, Assignee, at its option but without obligation, may do so. Assignor shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Assignee may incur in connection with Assignee’s appearance, voluntary or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Assignee until repaid by Assignor.

 

9. At any time, Assignee may, at its option, notify any tenants or other parties of the existence of this Assignment. Assignor does hereby specifically authorize, instruct and direct each and every present and future tenant, lessee and licensee of the whole or any part of the

 


Property to pay all unpaid and future Rents owed to Assignor to Assignee upon receipt of demand from Assignee to so pay the same, and Assignor hereby agrees that each such present and future tenant, lessee and licensee may rely upon such written demand from Assignee to so pay said Rents without any inquiry into whether there exists an Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or whether Assignee is otherwise entitled to said Rents. Assignor hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Assignor may now or hereafter have against any present or future tenant, lessee or licensee by reason of such payment of Rents to Assignee, and any such payment shall discharge such tenant’s, lessee’s or licensee’s obligation to make such payment to Assignor.

 

10. Assignee may take or release any security for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and may apply any other security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of any indebtedness evidenced by the Note without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

11. The acceptance of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents as herein provided shall be without prejudice to Assignee. The exercise or failure to exercise by Assignee of the rights granted Assignee in this Assignment, and the collection of the Rents and the application thereof as herein provided, shall not be considered a waiver by Assignee of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents or prevent foreclosure of any liens on the Property as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, nor shall such exercise make Assignee liable under any of the Leases, Assignee hereby expressly reserving all of its rights and privileges under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as though this Assignment had not been entered into. The rights of Assignee hereunder are cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Assignor that the exercise of any one or more of the rights provided for herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other rights or remedies of Assignee, at law or in equity or otherwise, so long as any obligation under the Loan Documents remains unsatisfied.

 

12. All rights of Assignee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns; and shall pass to and may be exercised by any assignee of Assignee. All obligations of Assignor shall bind its successors and assigns and any subsequent owner of the Property. Assignor hereby agrees that if Assignee gives notice to Assignor of an assignment of said rights, upon such notice the liability of Assignor to the assignee of the Assignee shall be immediate and absolute. Assignor will not set up any claim against Assignee or any intervening assignee as a defense, counterclaim or set-off to any action brought by Assignee or any intervening assignee for any amounts due hereunder or for possession of or the exercise of rights with respect to the Leases or the Rents.

 

13. This Assignment and all other Loan Documents are and shall be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the Contemporaneous Loan Documents (as defined in the Mortgage) as set forth in the Note and the Mortgage.

 


14. If any provision under this Assignment or the application thereof to any entity, person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Assignment and the application of the provisions hereof to other entities, persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

15. This Assignment may not be amended, modified or otherwise changed except by a written instrument duly executed by Assignor and Assignee.

 

16. This Assignment shall be in full force and effect continuously from the date hereof to and until the Mortgage shall be released of record, and the release of the Mortgage shall, for all purposes, automatically terminate this Assignment and render this Assignment null and void and of no effect whatsoever. This Assignment shall continue and remain in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure with respect to the Property.

 

17. In case of a conflict between any provision of this Assignment and any provision of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of the Note or the Mortgage, if they shall be the conflicting other Loan Document, shall prevail and be controlling.

 

18. All notices, demands, requests or other communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required by law shall be given and become effective as provided in the Mortgage.

 

19. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS SITUATED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING.

 

20. Assignor, to the full extent permitted by law, hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of competent counsel, waives, relinquishes and forever foregoes the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to the debt or any conduct, act or omission of Assignee or Assignor, or any of their directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents or attorneys, or any other persons affiliated with Assignee or Assignor in each of the foregoing cases, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise.

 

21. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Assignment may be detached from any counterpart of this Assignment without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Assignment identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

 


22. In addition to, but not in lieu of, any other rights hereunder, Assignee shall have the right to institute suit and obtain a protective or mandatory injunction against Assignor to enforce the observance, of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions contained herein following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

 

23. Assignee shall, as a matter of absolute right, be entitled, upon application to a court of applicable jurisdiction, and without notice to Assignor, to the appointment of a receiver to obtain and secure the rights of Assignee hereunder and the benefits intended to be provided to Assignee hereunder.

 

24. Assignee may sell, transfer and deliver the Note and the Loan Documents to one or more investors in the secondary mortgage market. In connection with such sale, Assignee may retain or assign responsibility for servicing the loan evidenced by the Note or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors.

 

25. If Assignee determines at any time to sell, transfer or assign this Assignment, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant participations therein (the “Participations”) or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”), Assignee may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor and each of the foregoing’s respective counsel, all documents and information which Assignee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the debt evidenced by the Note and to Assignor, any guarantor, any indemnitor and the Property, which shall have been furnished by Assignor, any guarantor or any indemnitor as Assignee determines necessary or desirable.

 

26. Assignee, at no cost to Assignor, shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages, deeds of trust and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations and priorities as Assignee shall determine in its sole discretion, provided, however, that the terms, provisions and clauses of the Severed Loan Documents shall be no more adverse to Assignor than those contained in the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and there shall be no additional obligations of Assignor and no change in the Note Rate (as defined in the Note). Assignor shall execute and deliver to Assignee, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, from time to time, promptly after the request of Assignee, a severance agreement and such other documents as Assignee shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Assignee. Assignor hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Assignee as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Assignor ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that Assignee shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) business days after notice has been given to Assignor by Assignee of Assignee’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

 


27. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment, the liability of Assignor and its officers, directors, general partners, managers, members and principals for the indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and obligations contained herein and in the Loan Documents shall be limited as set forth in Section 2.6 of the Note.
