C. Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Borrower assign the Management Agreement and that Property Manager subordinate its interest in the Management Fees in lien and payment to the Mortgage as set forth below.

AGREEMENT:

For good and valuable consideration the parties agree as follows:

---

1. Assignment of Management Agreement. As additional collateral security for the Loan, Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement and all extensions and renewals, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender’s option, in the event of a default by Borrower under the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (each, an “Event of Default”), and the failure of Borrower to cure such Event of Default within any applicable grace period.

2. Subordination of Management Fees. The Management Fees and all rights and privileges of Property Manager to the Management Fees are hereby and will at all times continue to be subject and unconditionally subordinate in all respects in lien and payment to the lien and payment of the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, assignments, replacements, or consolidations thereof and the rights, privileges, and powers of Lender under the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.

3. Estoppel. Property Manager and Borrower represent and warrant that (a) the Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned other than pursuant to this Assignment, (b) neither Property Manager nor Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Management Agreement and Property Manager knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Management Agreement, (c) neither Property Manager nor Borrower has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement and (d) the Management Fees and all other sums due and payable to the Property Manager under the Management Agreement have been paid in full.

4. Agreement by Borrower and Property Manager. Borrower and Property Manager agree that if there is an Event of Default by Borrower (continuing beyond any applicable grace period) under the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents during the term of this Assignment or upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Lender to terminate the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Lender may terminate the Management Agreement without payment of any cancellation fee or penalty and require Property Manager to transfer its responsibility for the management of the Mortgaged Property to a management company selected by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, effective as of the date set forth in Lender’s notice to Property Manager. Following any such termination, Property Manager agrees to apply all rents, security deposits, issues, proceeds and profits of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Lender’s written directions to Property Manager.

5. Lender’s Right to Replace Property Manager. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, at any time during the term of this Assignment, determines that the Mortgaged Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for properties similar to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will deliver written notice to Borrower and Property Manager, which notice will specify with particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to

6. Receipt of Management Fees. Property Manager will not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any Management Fees or other fee, commission or other amount received by Property Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Property Manager was entitled under the Management Agreement.

7. Consent and Agreement by Property Manager. Property Manager acknowledges and consents to this Assignment and agrees that Property Manager will act in conformity with the provisions of this Assignment and Lender’s rights hereunder or otherwise related to the Management Agreement. In the event that the responsibility for the management of the Mortgaged Property is transferred from Property Manager in accordance with the provisions of this Assignment, Property Manager will fully cooperate in transferring its responsibility to a new management company and effectuate such transfer no later than thirty (30) days from the date the Management Agreement is terminated. Further, Property Manager will (a) not contest or impede the exercise by Lender of any right it has under or in connection with this Assignment; (b) in the manner provided for in this Assignment, give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of its intention to terminate the Management Agreement or otherwise discontinue its management of the Mortgaged Property and (c) not amend any of the provisions or terms of the Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender.
