any Lease or the Mortgaged Property, or to take any action
hereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses, or to

Property, or any part thereof, by the Bank shall not cure or waive
any default or waive, modify or affect any notice of default under
the Bond Documents, the Credit Agreement or any other Related
Document, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, and

exercised, shall continue for so long as the Bank elects so long as
an Event of Default exists. If the Bank elects to

the Mortgaged Property as landlord or otherwise, to collect, use,
and enjoy the rents, issues, profits, and other sums payable under
and by virtue of all Leases and to enforce the covenants of all
Leases, it being agreed that the assignment made hereby is for
collateral purposes only, and is conditioned upon the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Bond
Documents or the Credit Agreement.

thereunder; and (c) appear in and defend any action or proceeding
arising out of or related to such Leases or the obligations, duties
or liabilities of the landlord or of any tenants
thereunder.

Bank Not to Become Liable . Prior to entry upon
and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Bank, the
Bank and its assigns shall not be obligated to perform or
discharge, nor do such parties hereby undertake to perform or
discharge, any obligation, duty, or liability of the Mortgagor
under any Lease. Prior to entry upon and taking
possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Bank, this Article
shall not operate to place upon the Bank or its assigns
responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or for the performance of any of the terms and
conditions of any Lease. The Bank and its assigns shall
not be responsible or liable for any waste committed on the
Mortgaged Property, for any dangerous or defective condition of the
Mortgaged Property, for any negligence in the management, upkeep,
repair or control of the Mortgaged Property or for failure to

such acts or conditions as shall occur while the Mortgaged Property
is in the control of the Bank pursuant to Section 3.02
hereof.
3.05
Waiver of Mortgagor . To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Mortgagor hereby waives any and all claims
against the Bank and its assigns arising out of or in any way
related to any act or failure to act pursuant to this assignment,
it being expressly understood and agreed that this assignment of
leases is for collateral purposes only, imposes no obligation on
the Bank or its assigns to take any action whatsoever and any
action to enforce this assignment is in the sole discretion of the
Bank or its assigns.
