NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of ___________ ($ ) this day paid and other good and lawful consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and, in order to secure the Obligations, Assignor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently bargain, sell, assign and set over unto Assignee all right, title and interest of Assignor in and to any and all existing or future leases, lettings, tenancies, subleases, franchises, concessions, or any other agreements upon or covering use or occupancy of all or any part of the land more particularly described in Exhibit "__" and Exhibit "___" attached hereto and made a part hereof (the " Land ") and any and all buildings and improvements now or hereafter located or erected on the Land (collectively, the " Improvements " and the Land and Improvements are herein after referred to collectively as the " Premises ") and all extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements thereof and any and all guaranties of any lessee's obligations under any provisions thereof and all rights relating thereto and under any and all extensions and renewals thereof (any such leases or lease agreements and tenancies being hereinafter referred to individually as a " Lease " and collectively as " Leases " and any lessee thereunder is hereinafter referred to individually as a " Lessee " and collectively as " Lessees "); TOGETHER with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits and all cash collateral now due or which may become due or to which Assignor may now or shall hereafter (including the period of redemption, if any) become entitled or may demand or claim, arising or issuing from or out of the Leases or from or out of the Premises or any part thereof, including, but not by way of limitation: minimum rents, additional rents, percentage rents, parking income, tax and insurance contributions, deficiency rents and liquidated damages following default, the premium payable by any Lessee upon the exercise of a cancellation privilege provided in any Lease, all income from any licenses, franchises or any other agreements and all proceeds payable under any condemnation awards or settlements, policies of insurance or settlements thereof covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by destruction or damage to the Premises or any part thereof together with any and all rights and claims of any kind which Assignor may have against any Lessee or any subtenants or occupants of the Premises (all such moneys, rights and claims described in this paragraph being called " Rents "). This Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment from Assignor to Assignee and not merely the passing of a security interest, Assignor reserving, however, a license to collect, except as hereinafter provided, the Rents, as they respectively become due, but not more than one month in advance, and to enforce the Leases, so long as there is no default by Assignor in any of the terms, covenants , or provisions of the Note, the Deed of Trust, this Assignment or any other Loan Documents. In the event of such a default, however, Assignee shall not be required to take any action whatsoever, including, without limitation, instituting legal proceedings of any kind, to terminate Assignor's license to collect Rents or enforce any of the other provisions or remedies contained in the Assignment. Assignor hereby covenants and agrees as follows: 1. Assignee as Creditor. Notwithstanding said license, Assignor agrees that Assignee, and not Assignor, shall be deemed to be the creditor of each Lessee in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting such Lessee, (without obligation on the part of Assignee, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or otherwise to pursue creditor's rights therein) with an option to Assignee to apply any money received by Assignee as such creditor in reduction of the Obligations. 2. Rights and Remedies. Assignor agrees that in the event of a default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Note, the Deed of Trust, this Assignment or any other Loan Document (an " Event of Default ") the license reserved herein by Assignor shall cease and terminate, and Assignee is hereby authorized, at its option, to enter and take possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, and to perform all acts necessary for the operations and maintenance of the Premises in the same manner and to the same extent that Assignor might reasonably so act. It is the intention of the parties that Assignee's right to collect the Rents due and owning may be exercised without electing to exercise Assignee's right to enter, take over and assume the management, operation and maintenance of the Premises. In furtherance thereof and not by way of limitation, Assignee is empowered, but shall be under no obligation, to collect the Rents, to enforce payment thereof and the performance of any and all other terms and provisions of the Leases, to exercise all the rights and privileges of Assignor thereunder, including the right to fix or modify Rents, to bring or defend any suits in connection with the possession of the Premises or any part thereof in its own name or Assignor's name, to relet the Premises or any part thereof and to collect the Rents under any new Lease. Assignee shall from time to time apply the net amount of income after payment of all proper costs and charges, including loss or damage referred to hereinafter in Paragraph 6, and attorneys' fees, to the Obligations. The manner of the application of such net income, the reasonableness of the costs and charges to which such net income is applied and the item or items which shall be credited thereby shall be within the sole and uncontrolled discretion of Assignee. Such entry and taking possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, may be made by actual entry and possession, or by written notice served personally upon or sent by registered or certified mail to the last owner of the Premises appearing on the records of Assignee, as Assignee may elect, and no further authorization shall be required. Assignee shall only be accountable for money actually received by it pursuant to this Assignment. Notwithstanding any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Paragraph 2 or otherwise in this Assignment, neither the assignment made pursuant hereto or any such action shall constitute Assignee as a "mortgagee in possession." 3. Termination of Assignment. Upon payment to Assignee of the full amount of the Obligations, as evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or release of the Deed of Trust, this Assignment shall be void and of no effect. 4. Consent to Payment of Rents. Assignor irrevocably consents that the Lessees, upon demand and notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, shall pay the Rents, to Assignee without liability of the Lessees for the determination of the actual existence of any such Event of Default claimed by Assignee. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Lessees, upon receipt of any notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, to pay to the Assignee the Rents due and to become due under the Leases. Assignor agrees that the Lessees shall have the right to rely upon any such notices of Assignee and that the Lessees shall pay such Rents to Assignee, without any obligation and without any right to inquire as to whether such Event of Default actually exists, notwithstanding any claim of Assignor to the contrary. Assignor shall have no claim against any Lessee for any Rents paid by any Lessee to Assignee. Upon the curing of all defaults in the payments due under or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of the Loan Documents, Assignee shall give written notice thereof to Lessees and thereafter, until further notice from Assignee, Lessees shall pay the Rents to Assignor. 5. Right to Further Assignment. Assignee shall have the right to assign Assignor's right, title, and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of the Deed of Trust and to any person acquiring title to the Premises through foreclosure or otherwise. The receipt by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this Assignment after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under the Deed of Trust shall not cure such default nor affect such proceedings or any sale pursuant thereto. After Assignor shall have been barred and foreclosed of all right, title, interest, and equity of redemption in the Premises, no assignee of Assignor's interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Assignor for the Rents thereafter accruing. 6. Indemnity . Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, or damage which Assignee may incur (a) under any of the Leases, (b) by reason of this Assignment, (c) arising from any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment, (d) as a result of any claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or discharged by Assignee under any of the Leases or this Assignment, or (e) the enforcement (or attempted enforcement) of this indemnity . Nothing herein contained shall be construed to bind Assignee to the performance of any of the terms and provisions contained in any of the Leases, or otherwise to impose any obligation on Assignee, including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any of the Leases in the event that any Lessee shall have been joined as party defendant in any action to foreclose the Deed of Trust and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title, interest and equity of redemption in the Premises. Prior to actual entry and taking possession of the Premises by Assignee, this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management, or repair of the Premises upon Assignee or for the carrying out of any of the terms and provisions of any Lease. Should Assignee incur any liability by reason of actual entry and taking possession or for any other reason or occurrence or sustain loss or damage under any Lease or under or by reason of this Assignment or in the defense of any such claims or demands, Assignor shall immediately upon demand, reimburse Assignee for the amount thereof, including interest at the Increased Rate (as defined in the Deed of Trust), or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is lesser, together with costs and expenses and attorneys' fees, and may retain possession and collect the Rents and, from time to time, apply them in or toward satisfaction of or reimbursement for said loss or damage. 7.

If any Lease permits cancellation thereof on payment of consideration and said privilege of cancellation is exercised, the payments made or to be made by reason thereof are hereby assigned to Assignee to be applied, at the election of the Assignee, to reduce the amount of the principal of the Note in the inverse order of maturity or to be held in trust by Assignee as further security, without interest, for the Obligations. 12. Assignor's Covenants. Assignor will perform all of its covenants and agreements as lessor under the Leases, and will not suffer or permit to occur any release of liability of any Lessee or the accrual of any right in any Lessee to withhold payment of Rents. 13.

If requested by Assignee, Assignor will enforce the Leases and all remedies available to Assignor against the Lessees in case of default under any Lease by a Lessee. 14. Continued Security. Notwithstanding any variation of the terms of any Loan Document, including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Obligations or in the rate of interest payable under the Note or any extension of time for payment thereunder or any release of part or parts of the Premises, the Leases and the Rents hereby assigned shall continue as additional security in accordance with the terms of this Assignment. 15. Additional Security. Assignee may (a) take security in addition to the security already given Assignee for the payment of the Obligations, (b) release such other security, (c) release any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Obligations, (d) grant or make extensions, renewals, modifications, or indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents and replacements thereof, which replacements of the Loan Documents may be on the same or on terms different from the present terms of the Loan Documents, and (e) apply any other security theretofore held by it to the satisfaction of the Obligations without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. 16.
