 12. Authorization. Any tenants or occupants of any part of the Premises (including, without limitation, all persons
claiming any interest as lessee under the Existing Leases) are hereby authorized to recognize the claims and demands of Assignee hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by Assignee or the validity or the amount of
indebtedness owing to Assignee or the existence of any default hereunder or under the Note, Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents or the application to be made by Assignee of any amounts to be paid to Assignee; and (a) the sole signature of
Assignee shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this Assignment, and the sole receipt of Assignee for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such tenant or occupant of the Premises, and

negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger, and nothing herein or in the Deed of Trust, and no exercise by Assignee of any of the rights
herein or in the Deed of Trust conferred, shall constitute or be construed as constituting Assignee a “mortgagee in possession” of the Premises in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Premises by Assignee pursuant to the
provisions hereof. 
 14. Indemnification. Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Assignee harmless of and from
any and all liability, loss or damage which Assignee may or might incur under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment, and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any
alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases; and should Assignee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any Lease or under or by reason of this
Assignment, or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be secured hereby and by the Deed of Trust, and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee
therefor immediately upon demand, and upon the failure of Assignor so to do, Assignee may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable. The provisions of this Section 14 shall continue and remain in full force and effect after

thereunder; (d) permit any Leases to become subordinate to any lien other than liens securing the indebtedness secured hereby or liens for general real estate taxes not delinquent; (e) execute hereafter any Lease unless there shall be
included therein a provision providing that the lessee acknowledges that such Lease has been assigned pursuant to this Assignment and agrees not to look to Assignee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or successor in title to the Premises for
accountability for any security deposit required by landlord under such Lease unless such sums have actually been received in cash by Assignee as security for the lessee’s performance under such Lease; (e) approve, consent to or acquiesce
to any sublease or assignment of any Lease by any lessee thereunder; or (f) modify, change, alter, supplement, amend, terminate or accept surrender of any guaranty of any of the Leases; and any attempt at any of the foregoing shall be void.
