NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Borrower, Lender and Manager agree
as follows:


 





AGREEMENTS:


 


		Section 1.	Recitals.



 


The recitals set forth above are incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth in the body of this Assignment.


 


		Section 2.	Assignment.



 


Borrower hereby transfers, assigns and
sets over to Lender, its successors and assigns, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Management Agreement.
Manager hereby consents to the foregoing assignment. The foregoing assignment is being made by Borrower to Lender as collateral
security for the full payment and performance by Borrower of all of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Although it is the
intention of the parties that the assignment hereunder is a present assignment, until the occurrence of any default or failure
to perform or observe any obligation, condition, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be performed or observed by
Borrower or any other party under any of the Loan Documents beyond any applicable grace or cure period provided for therein (an
“Event of Default”), Borrower may exercise all rights as owner of the Mortgaged
Property under the Management Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Assignment. The foregoing assignment shall remain
in effect as long as the Mortgage Loan, or any part thereof, remains unpaid, but shall automatically terminate upon the release
of the Security Instrument as a lien on the Mortgaged Property.


 


		Section 3.	Representations and Warranties.



 


Borrower and Manager represent and warrant
to Lender that (a) the Management Agreement is unmodified and is in full force and effect, (b) the Management Agreement is a valid
and binding agreement enforceable against the parties in accordance with its terms, and (c) neither
party is in default in performing any of its obligations under the Management Agreement. Borrower further represents and warrants
to Lender that it has not executed any prior assignment of the Management Agreement, nor has it performed any acts or executed
any other instrument which might prevent Lender from operating under any of the terms and conditions of this Assignment, or which
would limit Lender in such operation. Manager further represents and warrants to Lender that (1)
Manager has not assigned its interest in the Management Agreement, (2) Manager
has no notice of any prior assignment, hypothecation or pledge of Borrower’s interest under the Management Agreement, (3) as of
the date hereof, Manager has no counterclaim, right of set-off, defense or like right against Borrower, and (4) as of the date
hereof, Manager has been paid all amounts due under the Management Agreement.


 


		Section 4.	Lender’s Right to Cure.



 


In the event of any default by Borrower
under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to Borrower and Manager and until
such default is cured, to cure any default and take any action under the Management Agreement to preserve the same. Borrower hereby
grants to Lender the right of access to the Mortgaged Property for this purpose, if such action is necessary. Borrower hereby authorizes
Manager to accept the performance of Lender in such event, without question. Any advances made by Lender to cure a default by Borrower
under the Management Agreement shall become part of the indebtedness and shall bear interest at the Default Rate under the Loan
Agreement and shall be secured by the Security Instrument.

		Section 5.	Covenants.



 


		(a)	Borrower Covenants.



 


Borrower hereby covenants with Lender that, during the term
of this Assignment:


 


(I)         Borrower
shall not assign Borrower’s interest in the Management Agreement or any portion thereof, or transfer the responsibility for management
of the Mortgaged Property from Manager to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Lender;


 


(2)         Borrower
shall not cancel, terminate, surrender, modify or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Management Agreement without the
prior written consent of Lender;


 


(3)         Borrower
shall not forgive any material obligation of the Manager or any other party under the Management Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Lender;


 


(4)         Borrower
shall perform all obligations of Borrower under the Management Agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof, any failure
of which would constitute a default under the Management Agreement; and


 


(5)         Borrower
shall give Lender written notice of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating
the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the Mortgaged Property.


 


Any of the foregoing acts done or suffered to be done without
Lender’s prior written consent shall constitute an Event of Default.


 


		(b)	Affiliated Manager Subordination.



 


Manager agrees that:


 


(1)         (A)
any fees payable to Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement are and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent
and in the manner provided in this Assignment, to the prior payment in full of the indebtedness described in the Loan Agreement,
and (B) the Management Agreement is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the liens, terms, covenants and conditions
of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and to all advances heretofore made or which may hereafter be made pursuant
to the Loan Documents (including all sums advanced for the purposes of (i) protecting or further securing the lien of the Security
Instrument, curing Events of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents or for any other purposes expressly permitted by the
Loan Documents, or (ii) constructing, renovating, repairing, furnishing, fixturing or equipping
the Mortgaged Property);


 


(2)         if,
by reason of its exercise of any other right or remedy under the Management Agreement, Manager acquires by right of subrogation
or otherwise a lien on the Mortgaged Property which (but for this Section 5(b)) would be senior to the lien of the Security Instrument,
then, in that event, such lien shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument;

(5)         if,
after Manager receives notice (or otherwise acquires actual knowledge) of an Event of Default, Manager receives any payment of
fees under the Management Agreement, or if Manager receives any other payment or distribution of any kind from Borrower or from
any other person or entity in connection with the Management Agreement which Manager is not permitted by this Assignment to retain

the term of this Assignment, Manager will not commence or join with any other creditor in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings with respect to Borrower, without Lender’s prior written consent.


 


		Section 6.	Lender’s Rights Upon an Event of Default.

receipt by Manager of written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the
right to exercise all rights as owner of the Mortgaged Property under the Management Agreement.


 


(b)           Borrower
agrees that after Borrower receives notice (or otherwise has actual knowledge) of an Event of Default, it will not make any payment
of fees under or pursuant to the Management Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent.


 


		Section 7.	Termination of Management Agreement.



 


After the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Lender (or its nominee) shall have the right any time thereafter to terminate the Management Agreement,
