C.           Borrower,
as owner, and Developer, as developer, have entered into that certain Development Agreement dated on or about the date hereof relating
to the construction and development of the Property (the “Development Agreement”).


 


D.           Borrower
has agreed to assign its rights under the Development Agreement to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional security
for the Loan.


 


E.           Developer

and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Borrower, Agent and Developer agree as follows:



 


1.          Borrower
hereby transfers, assigns and sets over to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all right, title and interest of Borrower in

by Borrower to Agent as collateral security for the full payment and performance by Borrower of all of its obligations under the

2.          Borrower
and Developer represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that (i) the Development Agreement is unmodified and is in full force
and effect, (ii) the Development Agreement is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the parties in accordance with
its terms, and (iii) none of the parties thereto is in default in performing any of its obligations under the Development Agreement.


 


3.          Borrower
hereby covenants with Agent and Lenders that during the term of this Assignment: (a) Borrower shall not amend the Development Agreement
in any material manner without Agent’s prior written consent; (b) Borrower shall not terminate the Development Agreement
without Agent’s prior written consent; (c) Borrower shall give Agent written notice of any notice or information that Borrower
receives which indicates that Developer is terminating the Development Agreement or that Developer is otherwise discontinuing its
development of the Property; and (d) Borrower shall give Agent a copy of any written notice of default sent by Borrower to Developer
under the Development Agreement and any default notice received from Developer under the Development Agreement.


 


4.          Upon
receipt by Developer of written notice from Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to exercise all rights as owner of the Property under the Development Agreement. In the event that
Agent exercises the rights of owner under the Development Agreement pursuant to this Assignment (i.e., Agent elects to continue
the Development Agreement), Agent shall also assume all of the obligations that arise under the Development Agreement from and
after (but not before) the date of Agent’s election to continue the Development Agreement. Such election shall only be evidenced
by writing from Agent of such election, and may be before or after a foreclosure of the Security Instrument; provided, however,
Developer shall not be obligated to continue to perform its obligations under the Development Agreement at any time that any amounts
or fees due to Developer under the Development Agreement are past due.


 


5.          After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its nominee) shall have the right at any time thereafter
to terminate the Development Agreement, without cause and without liability, by giving written notice to Developer of its election
to do so (the “Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice shall specify the date of termination, which shall
not be less than ten (10) days after the date of such notice; provided, however, if Agent has foreclosed on its lien under the
Security Instrument, Agent may immediately provide the Termination Notice without any restriction on the date of termination (i.e.,
the Development Agreement may be immediately terminated upon the date of the Termination Notice). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Assignment, in the event Agent elects to terminate the Development Agreement, such termination shall
not be construed as a release by Developer of Borrower’s obligations thereunder.

6.          If
Agent terminates the Development Agreement following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then on the effective date of the termination
of the Development Agreement, Developer shall turn over to Agent, to the extent in Developer’s possession or reasonably available
to Developer, all books and records relating to the Property (copies of which may be retained by Developer, at Developer’s
expense), together with such authorizations and letters of direction addressed to contractors, tenants, suppliers, employees, banks
and other parties as Agent may reasonably require. Developer shall cooperate with Agent in the transfer of development responsibilities
to Agent or its designee. A final accounting of unpaid fees (if any) due to Developer under the Development Agreement shall be
made thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, but neither Agent nor Lenders shall have any liability or obligation
to Developer for unpaid fees or other amounts payable under the Development Agreement which accrue before Agent or its designee
acquires title to the Property, or Agent or its designee becomes a mortgagee in possession, or if later, the date that Agent exercised
its rights under Section 4.


 


7.          Developer
agrees that that all rights and interests of Developer under the Development Agreement, including without limitation Developer's
rights to fees or other amounts to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower to Developer or Developer's employees, agents or contractors
pursuant to the Development Agreement, are hereby expressly subordinated and made secondary and inferior to the liens, security
interests, assignments, rights and remedies created or existing by virtue of the Loan Documents, including without limitation,
the Security Instrument, and that all such payments and fees due to Developer under the Development Agreement are subordinated
to payments due under the Loan Documents (provided, however, Developer shall be entitled to retain any fees and payments received
by Developer under the Development Agreement at any time that no Event of Default exists. This subordination shall extend to any
substitution for or any modification, increase, renewal or extension of all or any part of the indebtedness secured by the Security
Instrument and to any amendment or modification of any Loan Document and notice of any such substitution, modification, increase,
renewal, extension, amendment or modification to Developer, and the consent thereto of Developer, shall not be necessary.


 


8.          Developer’s
address for notice is 3819 Maple Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219, Attention of Timothy J. Hogan. All notices to be given by Agent to
Developer shall be given in the same manner as notices to Borrower pursuant to the notice provisions contained in the Loan Agreement.


 


9.          This
Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original for all purposes; provided,
however, that all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


10.         This
subordination shall be binding upon Developer, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders
and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, each and every subsequent owner and holder of the indebtedness
secured by the Security Instrument, or any purchaser of the Property or any part thereof at foreclosure of the lien of the Security
Instrument or by transfer in lieu of such foreclosure.
