ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND
SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT FEES
(Revised 5-1-2015)
THIS ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT FEES (“Assignment”) is made effective as of the 5th day of January, 2016, by and among BR XXXXXXX XXXXXX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), XXXXX XXXX LASALLE MULTIFAMILY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), and XXXXXXX MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Property Manager”).
RECITALS:
A. Borrower has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower (“Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by a Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender effective as of the date of this Assignment (“Note”). The Note is secured by, among other things, a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) and a Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (“Security Instrument”), dated as of the date of this Assignment, which grants Lender a first lien on the property encumbered by the Security Instrument (“Mortgaged Property”). The Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, this Assignment and any of the other documents evidencing the Loan are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”. Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Assignment will have the meanings given to those terms in the Loan Agreement.
B. Pursuant to a Management Agreement between Borrower and Property Manager (“Management Agreement”) (a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit A), Borrower employed Property Manager exclusively to lease, operate and manage the Mortgaged Property, and Property Manager is entitled to certain management fees (“Management Fees”) pursuant to the Management Agreement.
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 Loan as set forth below.
For good and valuable consideration the parties agree as follows:
1. Assignment of Management Agreement. As additional collateral security for the Loan, Borrower 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. This transfer and assignment will automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender’s option, upon a default by Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, 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 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 Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, assignments, replacements, or consolidations of the Loan Documents and the rights, privileges, and powers of Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents.
3. Estoppel. Property Manager and Borrower represent and warrant that all of the following are true as of the date of this Assignment:
| (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. |
| (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 Loan Agreement, 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. If 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 Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or Property Manager within 30 days from receipt of such notice or that Borrower or Property Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such 30-day period, Lender may direct Borrower to terminate Property Manager as manager of the Mortgaged Property and terminate the Management Agreement without payment of any cancellation fee or penalty and to replace Property Manager with a management company acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion pursuant to a management agreement acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.

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. If the Property Manager receives any Management Fees after it has received notice of an Event of Default, Property Manager agrees that such Management Fees will be received and held in trust for Lender, to be applied by Lender to amounts due under the Loan Documents.
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 under this Assignment or otherwise related to the Management Agreement.

Further, Property Manager agrees as follows:
| (a) | It will not contest or impede the exercise by Lender of any right Lender has under or in connection with this Assignment. |
| (b) | It will give at least 30 days prior written notice to Lender of its intention to terminate the Management Agreement or otherwise discontinue its management of the Mortgaged Property, in the manner provided for in this Assignment. |
