TIAA Authorization ID # AAA-7376

(i)    Borrower shall pay to Lender all Rents to which Lender is entitled under this Assignment, the Deed of Trust or any other document securing payment of the Note, without any deduction, set-off, or other reduction of any kind.

(ii)    Each tenant under the Leases is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Lender all Rents thereafter accruing.

(iii) The unconditional payment to and receipt of Rent by Lender as provided herein shall be a release of such tenant to the extent of all amounts so paid.
(b)    Receipt by a tenant under a Lease of a NPROL from Lender shall be sufficient authorization for such tenant to make all future payments of Rents directly to Lender and each such tenant shall be entitled to rely on such Notice and shall have no liability to Borrower for any Rents paid to Lender after receipt of such Notice. Notwithstanding the terms of the Lock-Box Agreement, if any, Rents received by Lender after giving a Notice for any period prior to foreclosure under the Deed of Trust or acceptance of a deed in lieu of such foreclosure shall be applied by Lender to the payment (in such order as Lender shall determine) of:

(i)    The Obligations in such order as Lender in its sole discretion may determine

(ii)    To the extent approved in writing by Lender but not otherwise, all bona fide expenses of managing the Property, including but not limited to the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees as Lender may deem necessary or desirable; all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including but not limited to all ad valorem taxes, assessments, charges, claims, utility costs and premiums for insurance, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements; all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property or collecting the Rents due and payable under the Leases. Provided, Lender shall not be obligated to apply Rents received by the Lender to payment of the expenses of operating or maintaining the Property and shall have no liability for its failure or refusal to do so. If Lender shall, at its discretion, pay any such expense, such payment shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of the preceding sentence or Tex. Prop. Code §64.059.

(c)    The provisions of this Section for Notice to tenants under the Leases are intended solely for the benefit of Lender and each such tenant and shall never inure to the benefit of Borrower or any person claiming by, through or under Borrower (other than a tenant under a Lease).

(d)    In no event will this Assignment reduce the Obligations, except to the extent, if any, that Rents are actually received by Lender and applied (after said receipt) to the Obligations. Without impairing its right hereunder, Lender may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Borrower Rents so received by Lender or any part thereof. As between Borrower and Lender, and any person claiming by, through or under Borrower, this Assignment is intended to be the grant of a presently effective first priority lien and security interest in the Rents and Leases.

(f) If an Event of Default occurs, Lender’s or a Receiver’s payment or performance or acceptance of payment or performance will not be deemed a waiver or cure of the Event of Default.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Further Assurances. Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, a Receiver or any other entity Lender designates, any additional or replacement documents and perform any additional actions that Lender or the Receiver determines are reasonably necessary to evidence, perfect or protect Lender’s interest in the Assigned Interests or to carry out the intent or facilitate the performance of the provisions of this Assignment.

Section 10.2. Bankruptcy Proceeding Provisions.

(a) If Borrower receives on account of any Proceeding including any Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, any sums relating to the breach or rejection of any of the Leases by a Tenant or trustee of such Tenant under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including all damages arising out of such breach or rejection, all rights to charges payable by the Tenant or trustee in respect of the leased premises following the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy code in respect of the Tenant and all rentals and other charges outstanding under the Lease as of the date of entry of such order for relief, Borrower will promptly deposit such sums in a segregated account (the “Account”) with a depositary and will cause the Account to be designated on the records of the Depositary as collateral for the payment and performance of the Debt. Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all sums in the Account in consideration of the payment and performance of the Debt. Borrower will not withdraw any sums from or further encumber the Account without the Lender’s prior consent so long as the Debt remains outstanding, provided that if no Event of Default occurs the Account will be released to Borrower free of the lien and security interest granted hereby on the date on which Borrower enters into a new lease of the leased premises with a tenant and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.

(b) Any proof of claim or similar document filed by the Lender in connection with the breach or rejection of any of the Leases by any lessee thereunder or trustee of any such lessee under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §365, will for the purpose of perfecting the Lender’s rights conferred in Section 2.1 be deemed to constitute a petition by Lender against Borrower for sequestration of rents under the laws of the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located.

Section 10.3. Assignment Terminates Upon Payment in Full. Upon payment and performance in full of the Obligations, this Assignment will terminate, but the affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer of Lender showing any part of the Debt to be unpaid will be and constitute conclusive evidence (to the extent permitted by law) of the validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Assignment, and any person, firm or corporation, may and is hereby authorized to rely thereon.

Section 10.4. No Further Assignment. Borrower will not, for collateral or security purposes, further assign or otherwise transfer or encumber its interest in the Assigned Interests without Lender’s prior consent which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

If any subordinate assignment does not contain the foregoing provisions, to the extent permitted by Law, the subordinate assignee will be deemed bound by such provisions as if set forth in the subordinate assignment or any action taken by subordinate assignee that violates the foregoing provisions will be null and void.

Section 10.5. Applicable Law. The Assignment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located.

Section 10.7. Covenants Run with the Land. The terms, covenants, conditions and warranties contained in this Assignment and the powers granted hereby will run with the Land, will inure to the benefit of and bind all parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all subsequent owners of the Property, and all subsequent holders of the Loan Documents.
