Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the permission hereby given to the Borrower to collect the Property Income shall terminate and such permission shall not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without the Lender's specific written consent. C. The foregoing provisions hereof shall constitute an absolute and present assignment of the Property Income, subject, however, to the conditional permission given to the Borrower to collect and use such Property Income as hereinabove provided. The existence or exercise of such right of the Borrower shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment, in whole or in part, and any such subsequent assignment by the Borrower shall be subject to the rights of the Lender hereunder. - 10 - 1.10 REMOVALS, ALTERATIONS AND DEMOLITION A.
