THIS ASSIGNMENT is made on the following terms, covenants and conditions: GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. PRESENT ASSIGNMENT. Assignor does hereby assign to Assignee, as collateral security for the Debt, all of Assignor's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, Lease Guaranties, and Bankruptcy Claims. Such assignment to Assignee shall not be construed to bind Assignee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Assignee. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Assignee such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Assignee, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Assignee to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this paragraph 1, until an Event of Default (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement), Assignor shall have the right to operate and manage the Property and to collect the Rents and other sums due under the Lease Guaranties and Bankruptcy Claims and Assignor shall hold the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, in trust for the benefit of Assignee for use in the payment of such sums. Upon an Event of Default, this Assignment shall become an absolute assignment and Assignee shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, whether or not Assignee enters upon or takes control of the Property. Assignee is hereby granted and assigned by Assignor the right, at its option, upon an Event of Default, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims. Any Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims collected on or after an Event of Default may be applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Assignee in its discretion shall deem proper. 2. REMEDIES OF ASSIGNEE. (a) Upon or at any time after an Event of Default, Assignee may, at its option, without waiving such Event of Default, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Property and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as Assignee may deem proper and either with or without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to Assignee and may apply the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims to the payment of the following in such order and proportion as Assignee in its sole discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all expenses of managing and securing the Property, including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as Assignee may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Assignee may deem necessary or desirable, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and (b) the Debt, together with all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. In addition to the rights which Assignee may have herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee, at its option, may require Assignor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Assignee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Assignor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph 2, Assignor grants to Assignee its irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to take any and all of the aforementioned actions and any or all other actions designated by Assignee for the proper management and preservation of the Property. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted it in this paragraph 2 and the collection of the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver by Assignee of any default by Assignor under the Reimbursement Agreement, this Assignment or the other L/C Documents. (b) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee shall have the right in its own name or in the name of Assignor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Assignor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. (c) If there shall be filed by or against Assignor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Assignor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Assignor shall give Assignee not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of the date on which Assignor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Assignor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Assignee demands that Assignor assume and assign the Lease to Assignee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Assignee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Assignee serves upon Assignor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Assignor shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Assignee of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. 3. NO LIABILITY OF ASSIGNEE. Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee's failure to let the Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Assignee in managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of Assignee. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and Assignor shall, and hereby agrees, to indemnify Assignee for, and to hold Assignee harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases. Should Assignee incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) shall be secured hereby and by the L/C Documents and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee therefor immediately upon demand and upon the failure of Assignor so to do Assignee may, at its option, declare all sums secured hereby and the other L/C Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Assignee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases; nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the New Environmental Indemnity), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. 4. NOTICE TO LESSEES. Assignor hereby authorizes and directs the lessees named in the Leases or any other or future lessees or occupants of the Property upon receipt from Assignee of written notice to the effect that Assignee is then the holder of the Reimbursement Obligations and that an Event of Default exists under the Reimbursement Agreement or under this Assignment, or the other L/C Documents, to pay over to Assignee all Rents and all sums under any Lease Guaranty and to continue so to do until otherwise notified by Assignee. Assignor hereby agrees that each such lessee and any other or future lessee and occupant may rely upon such written notice from Assignee to so pay the Rents and other sums without any inquiry into whether there exists a default hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other L/C Documents or whether Assignee is otherwise entitled to the Rents and other sums. Assignor hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Assignor may now or hereafter have against any present or future lessee or occupant by reason of such payment of Rents and other sums to Assignee, and any such payment shall discharge such lessee's or occupant's obligation to make such payment to Assignor. Assignor hereby agrees that within thirty (30) days of execution of this Assignment and within ten (10) Business Days after entering into any future Lease, it shall provide all lessees named in the Leases or any other future lessees or occupants of the Property written notice of this Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "E" by mailing said written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to such Lessees or occupants and providing Assignee with evidence of receipt of said written notice. 5. OTHER SECURITY. Assignee may take or release other security for the payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect thereto and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment. 6. OTHER REMEDIES. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Assignee pursuant to the power and rights granted to Assignee hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and remedies under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other L/C Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Assignee under the terms thereof. The right of Assignee to collect the Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. 7. NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Assignee a "mortgagee in possession" in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Assignee. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Assignee (other than for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct), all such liability being expressly waived and released by Assignor and Assignee shall be obligated to account only for such Rents as are actually collected or received by Assignee. 8. INCORPORATION; CONFLICT OF TERMS. All terms, conditions and provisions of Exhibit D to the Reimbursement Agreement (prior to the substitution of such exhibit as provided in the Modification Agreement) are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of such Exhibit D and the terms of this Assignment, the terms of the document which shall enlarge the rights or remedies of Assignee, grant to Assignee greater financial security, or better insure the payment and performance in full of the Debt, shall control. Whenever possible, the provisions of this Assignment shall be deemed supplemental to and not in derogation of the other L/C Documents. 9. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Assignment and any provisions hereof may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally, or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor or Assignee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 10.

NON-WAIVER. The failure of Assignee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Assignor shall not be relieved of Assignor's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) failure of Assignee to comply with any request of Assignor or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof, or of the Reimbursement Agreement, or the other L/C Documents, (ii) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Assignee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Reimbursement Agreement, or the other L/C Documents.
