Further, no state of facts exist under the Leases which, with the lapse of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default thereunder. This Assignment is a collateral assignment, made to secure the Obligations and is effective immediately. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be responsible or obligated to the Lessor for any obligation, agreement or liability of the Lessee under the Leases, unless and until Lessor elects to assume the Leases pursuant to Section 6 hereof and delivers to Lessor written notice of such assumption. Notwithstanding this Assignment, the Lessee shall be and remain obligated to the Lessor to perform all of the Lessee's obligations and agreements under the Leases, and the Lessor shall be and remain obligated to the Lessee to perform all of the Lessor's obligations and agreements under the Leases. 2. Payment of Lease Expenses. The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges and impositions payable by the Lessee under the Leases for which provision has not been made hereinbefore, when and as often as the same shall become due and payable. Lessee will in every case deliver, or cause to be delivered, a proper receipt for any such item so paid and will, upon request by Agent, within ten (10) days after the time when such payment shall be due and payable, deliver to the Agent, a copy of the receipts for any such payments. 3. Lessee's Representations and Covenants with Respect to Leases. (a) Lessee is the sole owner of the entire lessee's interest in the Lease, and has not executed and shall not execute any other assignment of the Leases and has not conveyed and will not convey to another or encumber any interest it has under the Leases or in the Premises and has not and shall not perform any acts or execute any other instruments that might prevent Agent from fully exercising its rights under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Assignment. Lessee further agrees to defend the leasehold estate created under the Leases for the entire remainder of the term set forth therein, against all and every person or persons lawfully claiming, or who may claim the same or any part thereof, subject to the payment of the rents in the Leases reserved and subject to the performance and observance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties thereof. (b) The Leases are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms and have not been altered, modified, amended or terminated and none of the terms and conditions thereof has been waived in any manner whatsoever except in each case as disclosed in writing to Agent. (c) The Lessee shall at all times promptly and faithfully keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all the covenants and conditions contained in the Leases by the Lessee under the Leases to be kept and performed and in all respects conform to and comply with the terms and conditions of the Leases, and the Lessee further covenants that it shall not do or permit anything which will impair or tend to impair the security of the Banks and the Agent under the Loan Documents or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Leases, and upon any such failure aforesaid, Lessee shall be subject to all of the rights and remedies granted Agent under the Loan Documents. (d) The Leases are in full force and effect. The Lessee shall not modify, extend or in any way alter the terms of the Leases or cancel or surrender the Leases, or waive, execute, condone or in any way release or discharge the Lessor of or from the obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by the Lessor to be done and performed; and the Lessee does expressly release, relinquish and surrender unto the Agent all of its rights, power and authority to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms and provisions of the Leases and any attempt on the part of the Lessee to exercise any such right without the written approval and consent of the Agent thereto being first had and obtained shall constitute a default under the terms hereof and under the Loan Documents. (e) Lessee shall be deemed in default if the Lessee fails to give the Agent immediate notice of any default under the Leases (or any of them) or of the receipt by it of any notice of default from the Lessor thereunder, or if the Lessee fails to furnish to the Agent immediately any and all information which it may request concerning the performance by the Lessee of the covenants of the Leases, or if the Lessee fails to permit the Agent or its representative at all reasonable times to make investigation or examination concerning the performance by the Lessee of the covenants of the Leases, or if the Lessee fails to permit the Agent or its representative at all reasonable times to make investigation or examination concerning such performance. The Lessee shall deliver to the Agent an original executed copy of the Leases, an estoppel certificate from the Lessor of the Leases within ten (10) days of request by Agent and in such form and content as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, as well as any and all documentary evidence received by it showing compliance by the Lessee with the provisions of the Leases. (f) In the event of any failure by Lessee to perform any covenant on the part of Lessee to be observed and performed under the Leases, the performance by Agent of behalf of Lessee of such covenant shall not remove or waive, as between Lessee and Agent, the corresponding default under the terms hereof and any amount so advanced by Agent or any costs incurred in connection therewith, with interest thereon at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0%, shall constitute additional indebtedness and be immediately due and payable. 4. Merger. So long as any of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, unless the Agent shall otherwise in writing consent, the fee title and the leasehold estate created under each of the Leases shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the Lessor or in the Lessee, as lessee, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise; and the Lessee covenants and agrees that if it shall acquire the fee title, or any other estate, title or interest in the Premises covered by said Leases, the Leases shall be considered as assigned or conveyed to the Agent and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein assigned or conveyed and spread. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply if the Agent or any Bank acquires the fee of the Premises unless Agent shall so elect. 5. Further Assurances and Assignments. The Lessee agrees to execute and deliver, immediately upon the request of Agent, all such further assurances and assignments concerning the Leases or the Premises as Agent shall from time to time require. 6.

Lessee hereby grants full power and authority to Agent to exercise all rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times hereinafter, without notice to Lessee. Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the rights or claims assigned to in hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the obligations of the lessee/tenant under the Leases and does not assume any of the liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and agreements of Lessee in the Leases. 7.

Occurrence of Default.

(b) Waiver of or acquiescence by Agent in any default by the Lessee, or failure of the Agent to insist upon strict performance by the Lessee of any warranties or agreements in this Assignment, shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default or failure, whether similar or dissimilar.
