For Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, including the Secured Indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has absolutely GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, CONVEYED, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED AND SET OVER and by these presents does absolutely and unconditionally GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, CONVEY, TRANSFER, ASSIGN AND SET OVER, the Assignment Property unto Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders, in order to provide a source of future payment of the Secured Indebtedness and the Obligations, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions applicable thereto and the License (herein defined), it being the intention of Borrower and Administrative Agent that this conveyance be presently effective; TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Assignment Property unto Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders, forever, and Borrower does hereby bind itself, its successors, and assigns to warrant and forever defend the title to the Assignment Property unto Administrative Agent against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that if Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the Secured Indebtedness as and when same shall become due and payable and shall perform and discharge or cause to be performed and

discharged the Obligations on or before the date same are to be performed and discharged, then this Assignment shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and all rights, titles, and interests conveyed pursuant to this Assignment shall become vested in Borrower without the necessity of any further act or requirement by Borrower or Administrative Agent.

Section 4.2 Limited License. Administrative Agent hereby grants to Borrower a limited license (the “License”) subject to termination of the License and the other terms and provisions hereof, to (i) exercise and enjoy all incidences of the status of a lessor with respect to the Rents, including without limitation, the right to collect, demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover, and receive the Rents, and to give proper receipts, releases, and acquittances therefore, and (ii) collect, demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover, and receive the Receivables, and to give proper receipts, releases, and acquittances therefore. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to collect and retain all Revenues and apply the Revenues collected by Borrower first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness (to the extent then due and payable) next to payment of Operating Expenses and next to the performance and discharge of the Obligations (to the extent then due). Thereafter, Borrower may use the balance of the Revenues collected in any manner not inconsistent with the Loan Documents. Neither this Assignment nor the receipt of Revenues by Administrative Agent shall effect a pro tanto payment of the debt evidenced by, or arising under the Secured Indebtedness, and such Revenues shall be applied as provided in this Section 4.2. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.2, no credit shall be given by Administrative Agent for any Revenues until the money collected is actually received by Administrative Agent at its principal office in Dallas, Texas, or at such other place as Administrative Agent shall designate in writing, and no such credit shall be given for any Revenues after termination of the License, after foreclosure or other transfer of the Property (or part thereof from which Revenues are derived pursuant to the Deed of Trust) to Administrative Agent or any other third party, except to the extent Administrative Agent actually applies such Revenues to the Secured Indebtedness.

Section 4.3 Notice to Lessees. During the continuation of a Default, Administrative Agent may deliver Lease Rent Notices to any or all lessees of all or any portion of the Property. Upon receipt from Administrative Agent of a Lease Rent Notice, each lessee under the Leases is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Administrative Agent all Rents thereafter accruing and the receipt of Rents by Administrative Agent shall be a release of such lessee to the extent of all amounts so paid. The receipt by a lessee under the Leases of a Lease Rent Notice shall be sufficient authorization for such lessee to make all future payments of Rents directly to Administrative Agent and each such lessee shall be entitled to rely on such Lease Rent Notice and shall have no liability to Borrower for any Rents paid to Administrative Agent after receipt of such Lease Rent Notice. Rents so received by Administrative Agent for any period prior to foreclosure under the Deed of Trust or acceptance of a deed in lieu of such foreclosure shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the following (in such order and priority as Administrative Agent shall determine): (a) all Operating Expenses; and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property and/or collecting Rent as it becomes due and payable; and (b) the Secured Indebtedness and/or to the operation and management of the Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and attorney’s fees and expenses. In no event will the provisions of this Section 4.3 reduce the Secured Indebtedness except to the extent, if any, that Rents are actually received by Administrative Agent and applied upon or after said receipt to such Secured Indebtedness in accordance with the preceding sentence. Without

impairing its rights hereunder, Administrative Agent may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Borrower, Rents so received by Administrative Agent or any part thereof. As between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Administrative Agent, and any person claiming through or under Borrower, other than any lessee under the Leases who has not received a Lease Rent Notice, this Assignment is intended to be absolute, unconditional and presently effective (and not an assignment for additional security), and the Lease Rent Notice hereof is intended solely for the benefit of each such lessee and shall never inure to the benefit of Borrower or any person claiming through or under Borrower, other than a lessee who has not received such notice. It shall never be necessary for Administrative Agent to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of the Deed of Trust with respect to Rents or Receivables. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OR CLAIM AGAINST ANY LESSEE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY RENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER, AND BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND AGREES TO HOLD FREE AND HARMLESS EACH LESSEE FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, COST, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH LESSEE BY REASON OF SUCH ▇▇▇▇▇▇’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF RENTS MADE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS DEED OF TRUST.

Section 4.4 Termination of Assignment. Upon payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness and the delivery and recording of a reconveyance, release, satisfaction or discharge of the Deed of Trust duly executed by Administrative Agent, this Assignment shall become null and void and shall be of no further force and effect.

ARTICLE V
REMEDIES

Section 5.1 REMEDIES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Assignment and the Hotel Operating Agreement, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the right (in its sole discretion), to terminate the limited license granted to Borrower in Section 4.2 hereof, and thereafter direct the lessees under the Leases pursuant to a Lease Rent Notice to pay directly to Administrative Agent the Rents due and to become due under the Leases and attorn in respect of all other obligations thereunder directly to Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, without any obligation on the part of Trustee or such lessee to determine whether an Event of Default does in fact exist or has in fact occurred. The Lease Rent Notice shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law be sufficient action by Administrative Agent to entitle Administrative Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to Administrative Agent of Rents collected for the period in which the Lease Rent Notice is given and for any subsequent period), for application as provided in this Assignment. All Revenues collected by Administrative Agent, or Trustee acting on Administrative Agent’s behalf, shall be applied as provided for in Section 4.3 hereof or the Deed of Trust given by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that if the costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees shall exceed the amount of Revenues collected, the excess shall be added to the Secured Indebtedness,

shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be immediately due and payable. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of Revenues, and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default, if any, hereunder nor invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, except to the extent any such default is fully cured. Failure or discontinuance by Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, at any time or from time to time, to collect said Revenues shall not in any manner impair the subsequent enforcement by Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, of the right, power and authority herein conferred upon Administrative Agent. Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of any right, power, or authority herein granted to Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, shall be, or shall be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor the subordination of, the lien or charge of the Deed of Trust, to any such tenancy, lease, or option, nor an election of judicial relief, if any such relief is requested or obtained as to Leases or Revenues, with respect to the Property or any collateral given by Borrower to Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, at its option, may (i) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Administrative Agent deems advisable; (ii) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower, including, without limitation, the right to enter into, negotiate, execute, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Revenues from the Property and all sums payable under the Assigned Property; (iii) either require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Administrative Agent, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Revenues, the fair and reasonable value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Borrower, or require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Administrative Agent or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Section 5.2 Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Administrative Agent pursuant to the power and rights granted to Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Administrative Agent of its rights and remedies under the Note, the Deed of Trust, or the Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Administrative Agent under the terms thereof. The right of Administrative Agent to collect the Secured Indebtedness and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Administrative Agent either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to the obligations of Borrower under this Assignment, the Note, the Deed of Trust, the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the loan secured hereby in any action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent to collect same, or any portion thereof, or to enforce and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Assignment, the Note, the Deed of Trust, or any of the Loan Documents (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Administrative Agent in any separate action or proceeding).

Section 5.3 Other Security. Administrative Agent may take or release other security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Secured Indebtedness without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.

Section 5.4 Non-Waiver. The exercise by Administrative Agent of the right granted it in Section 5.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Revenues and other sums payable in relation to the Assignment Property and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Borrower under the Note, the Deed of Trust, the Leases, this Assignment or the Loan Documents. The failure of Administrative Agent to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Administrative Agent to comply with any request of Borrower or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of either or both of the Deed of Trust, the Note or the Loan Documents, (b) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Administrative Agent extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Note, the Deed of Trust or the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may resort for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness to any other security held by Administrative Agent in such order and manner as Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may elect. Administrative Agent may take any action to recover the Secured Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Administrative Agent under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Administrative Agent shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

ARTICLE VI

Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Administrative Agent, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, conveyances, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Administrative Agent the property and rights hereby assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Administrative Agent, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment or for filing, registering or recording this Assignment and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to execute in the name of Borrower to the extent Administrative Agent may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to evidence more effectively the lien and security interest hereof in and upon the Leases.

Section 6.2 No Liability of Administrative Agent or Lenders. This Assignment shall not be construed to bind Administrative Agent or any Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or Lease Guaranty or otherwise impose any obligation upon Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ resulting from Administrative Agent’s failure to let the Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Administrative Agent in managing the Property after an Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and BORROWER SHALL, AND HEREBY AGREES, TO INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR, AND TO HOLD ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH MAY OR MIGHT BE INCURRED UNDER THE ASSIGNMENT PROPERTY OR UNDER OR BY REASON OF THIS ASSIGNMENT AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND DEMANDS WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS WHICH MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BY REASON OF ANY ALLEGED OBLIGATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS ON ITS PART TO PERFORM OR DISCHARGE ANY OF THE TERMS, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE LEASES OR ANY LEASE GUARANTIES, EXCEPT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR ANY LIABILITY THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY EVENT THAT FIRST OCCURS AFTER FORECLOSURE OR TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY BY DEED IN LIEU THEREOF. Should Administrative Agent incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be secured by this Assignment and by the Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall reimburse Administrative Agent therefor immediately upon written demand and upon the failure of Borrower so to do Administrative Agent may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Assignment and by the Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Administrative Agent, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any Lease Guaranties; nor shall it operate to make Administrative Agent responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants, occupants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including without limitation the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger, except for Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or any liability that is attributable to any event that first occurs after foreclosure or transfer of the Property by deed in lieu foreclosure.

Section 6.3 No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Administrative Agent a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Administrative Agent. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Administrative Agent, no liability, except for Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or any liability arising out of acts or omissions of Administrative Agent after foreclosure or transfer of the Property by deed in lieu thereof, shall be

asserted or enforced against Administrative Agent, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Borrower.
