                 representations and warranties under the documents evidencing

         Assignor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with METLIFE as
follows:




                                      2
   3

         A.      The sole ownership of the entire lessor's interest in the
                 Leases is or shall be vested in Assignor, and Assignor has
                 not, and shall not, perform any acts or execute any other
                 instruments which might prevent METLIFE from fully exercising
                 its rights under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of
                 this Assignment.

         B.      The Leases are and shall be valid and enforceable in
                 accordance with their terms and have not been altered,
                 modified, amended, terminated, canceled, renewed or
                 surrendered nor have any of the terms and conditions thereof
                 been waived in any manner whatsoever except as approved in
                 writing by METLIFE.

         C.      Assignor shall not materially alter the term or the amount of
                 rent payable or the term of any Lease without notice to
                 METLIFE and METLIFE's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
                 withheld.

         D.      To the best of its knowledge, there are no defaults now
                 existing under any of the Leases and there exists no state of
                 facts which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or
                 both, would constitute a default under any of the Leases.

         E.      Assignor shall give prompt notice to METLIFE of any notice
                 received by Assignor claiming that a default has occurred
                 under any of the Leases on the part of Assignor, together with
                 a complete copy of any such notice.

         F.      Each of the Leases shall remain in full force and effect
                 irrespective of any merger of the interest of lessor and any
                 lessee under any of the leases.

         G.      Assignor will not permit any Lease to become subordinate to
                 any lien other than the lien of the Mortgage.

         H.      All existing Leases are described on Exhibit B attached hereto
                 and incorporated herein.  Assignor has delivered to Assignee
                 true and correct copies of all existing Leases and all
                 amendments and modifications thereto.

         The parties further agree as follows:

         This Assignment is an absolute, present assignment from Assignor to
METLIFE, effective immediately, and is not merely an assignment for security
purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, until a notice is sent to the
Assignor in writing that a default has occurred under the terms and conditions
of the Note or any other instrument constituting additional security for the
Note (which notice is hereafter called a "Notice"), Assignor is granted a
license to receive, collect and enjoy the rents, income and profits accruing
from the Property.

         In the event of any default at any time in the Note, Mortgage or any
other Loan Document as defined in the Mortgage constituting additional security
for the Note, METLIFE may, at its option, after service of a Notice, receive
and collect all such rents, income and








                                      3
   4

profits as they become due, from the Property.  METLIFE shall thereafter
continue to receive and collect all such rents, income and profits, as long as
such default or defaults shall exist, and during the pendency of any
foreclosure proceedings, and if there is a deficiency, during any redemption
period.  All sums received by Assignor after service of such Notice shall be
deemed received in trust and shall be immediately turned over to METLIFE.

         Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints METLIFE its true and lawful
attorney with power of substitution and with full power for METLIFE in its own
name and capacity or in the same and capacity of Assignor, from and after
service of Notice, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances
for any and all rents, income and profits accruing from the Property, either in
its own name or in the name of Assignor or otherwise, which METLIFE may deem
necessary or desirable in order to collect and enforce the payment of the
rents, income and profits.  Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.  Assignor also hereby irrevocably appoints METLIFE as its true and
lawful attorney to appear in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court involving any of the
tenants of the Leases.  Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized
and directed to pay any and all amounts due Assignor pursuant to the Leases to
METLIFE or such nominee as METLIFE may designate in writing delivered to and
received by such lessees who are expressly relieved of any and all duty,
liability or obligation to Assignor in respect of all payments so made.

         In the event of default, from and after service of a Notice METLIFE is
hereby vested with full power to use all measures, legal and equitable, deemed
by it necessary or proper to enforce this Assignment and to collect the rents,
income and profits assigned hereunder, including the right of METLIFE or its
designee, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and take possession
of all or any part of the Property together with all personal property,
fixtures, documents, books, records, papers and accounts of Assignor relating
thereto, and may exclude the Assignor, its agents and servants, wholly
therefrom.  Assignor hereby grants full power and authority to METLIFE to
exercise all rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times
after service of a Notice, with full power to use and apply all of the rents
and other income herein assigned to the payment of the costs of managing and
operating the Property and of any indebtedness or liability of Assignor to
METLIFE, including but not limited to the payment of taxes, special
assessments, insurance premiums, damage claims, the costs of maintaining,
repairing, rebuilding and restoring the improvements on the Property or of
making the same rentable, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection
with the enforcement of this Assignment, and of principal and interest payments
due from Assignor to METLIFE on the Note and the Mortgage, all in such order as
METLIFE may determine.  METLIFE shall be under no obligation to exercise or
prosecute any of the rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or
carry out any of the obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does
not assume any of the liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out
of the covenants and agreements of Assignor in the leases.  It is further
understood that this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for
the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon
METLIFE, nor shall it operate to make METLIFE liable for the performance of any
of the terms and conditions of any of the Leases, or for any waste of the
Property by any lessee under any of the Leases or any other person, or for any
dangerous or defective condition








                                      4
   5

of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or
control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee,
licensee, employee or stranger.

         Waiver of or acquiescence by METLIFE in any default by the Assignor,
or failure of the METLIFE to insist upon strict performance by the Assignor of
any covenants, conditions or agreements in this Assignment, shall not
constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default or failure, whether
similar or dissimilar.

         The rights and remedies of METLIFE under this Assignment are
cumulative and are not in lieu of, but are in addition to any other rights or
remedies which METLIFE shall have under the Note or any other instrument
constituting security for the Note, or at law or in equity.

         If any term of this Assignment, or the application thereof to any
person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Assignment, or the application of such term to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Assignment shall be valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         Any and all notices, elections, demands, or requests permitted or
required to be made under this Assignment, including without limitation a
Notice, shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice, election,
demand or request, and shall be delivered personally, by telegram, or sent by
registered, certified, or Express United States mail, postage prepaid, or by
Federal Express or similar service requiring a receipt, to the other party at
the address set forth above, or to such other party and at such other address
within the United States of America as any party may designate as provided
herein.  The date of receipt of such notice, election, demand or request shall
be the earliest of (i) the date of actual receipt, (ii) three (3) days after
the date of mailing by registered or certified mail, (iii) one (1) day after
the date of mailing by Express Mail, or the delivery (for redelivery) to
Federal Express or another similar service requiring a receipt, or (iv) the
date of personal delivery (or refusal upon presentation for delivery).

         Assignor hereby authorizes METLIFE to give written notice of this
Assignment, which may include a copy hereof, at any time to any tenant under
any of the Leases.

         The terms "Assignor" and "METLIFE" shall be construed to include the
legal representatives, successors and assigns thereof.  The gender and number
used in this Assignment are used as a reference term only and shall apply with
the same effect whether the parties are of the masculine or feminine gender,
corporate or other form, and the singular shall likewise include the plural.

         This Assignment may not be amended, modified or changed nor shall any
waiver of any provisions hereof be effective, except only by an instrument in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
amendment, change, modification or discharge is sought.







                                      5


   6

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event
shall this Assignment be deemed to reduce the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note by an amount in excess of the actual amount of cash received by METLIFE
under the Leases, whether before, during or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and Assignor acknowledges that in no event shall the indebtedness
secured hereby be reduced by the value from time to time of the rents, income
and profits of or from the Property.  In addition, METLIFE reserves the right,
at any time, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
recharacterize this Assignment as merely constituting security for the
indebtedness of Assignor to METLIFE, which recharacterization shall be made by
written notice delivered to Assignor.  METLIFE's receipt of any rents, issues,
and profits pursuant to this Assignment after the institution of foreclosure
proceedings, either by court action or by the private power of sale contained
in any mortgage or other security agreement now or hereafter securing the Note,
shall not cure an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, or affect such
proceedings or sale.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the said Assignor has caused this instrument to be
signed and delivered as of the date first above written.

                                        ASSIGNOR:
