A.     Reven Housing Texas 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Assignor”), by Deed of Trust of even date herewith (hereinafter the “Deed of Trust”), mortgaged to LUBBOCK NATIONAL BANK, as Mortgagee (“Assignee”), the real property (the “Property”) more particularly described as follows:

 

See the attached Exhibit.

 

B.     The Deed of Trust was given to secure the payment of a Real Estate Lien Note in the amount of $5,020,000.00 dated of even date herewith, executed by Assignor and payable to Assignee (the “Note”). The Deed of Trust and the Note are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

 

C.     Assignor, or its predecessors in interest, as lessor, has or may have entered into leases in connection with the improvements located on the Property (the “Prior Leases”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for value received, Assignor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Assignee (1) all the rents, revenues and any other income of the Property, including those now due, or to become due by virtue of the Prior Leases, or any other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of the party to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable; and (2) subject to the conditions precedent stated herein, all the Prior Leases and any other agreements for the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Property, including any and all extensions, renewals, and replacements thereof. All Prior Leases, and all other present and future agreement’s for use or occupancy of all or any part of the Property, including any and all extensions, renewals and replacements are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Leases”.

 

This assignment and agreement shall be under the following terms and conditions:

 

1.     Until the Note, and all renewals and extensions thereof, are paid in full, or, until the Property is released by Assignee as security for the Note, Assignor shall collectively transfer, sell and assign unto Assignee all subsequent leases of the Property, or any part thereof. All references herein to the Leases shall also refer to any future leases.

 

2.     Assignor acknowledges that this assignment in no way affects or alters the Note and the Deed of Trust. Assignor hereby agrees to make or cause to be made:

 

(a)    all payments of principal and interest on the Note and any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof;

 

 1 
 

 

(b)    payment of all other sums, if any, with interest thereon, becoming due and payable to Assignee under the provisions of this Assignment, the Note and/or the Deed of Trust; and

 

(c)   punctual performance and discharge of each and every obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Note, the Deed of Trust or in any other instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note.

 

3.     Assignor warrants and represents that Assignor has not previously assigned the Leases or the rents and revenues of the Property, or executed any other instrument which would interfere with or in any manner prevent Assignee from obtaining the full benefits of the provisions of this Assignment.

 

4.     Assignor covenants and agrees with Assignee:

 

(a)   not to collect any of the rent, income and profits from the Property more than one month in advance of the time that the same shall become due under the provisions of the Leases (other than for security deposits made under the Leases);

 

(b)   not to execute any other assignment of the rents, income or profits arising or accruing from the Leases or the Property;

 

(c)   to collectively assign and transfer to the Assignee any and all other leases entered into after the date of this Assignment upon all or any part of the Property and to execute and deliver, at the request of the Assignee, all such further assignments in the premises as the Assignee shall from time to time reasonably require;

 

(d)   that if any act shall be done by the Assignor in breach of the foregoing, then such act shall be null and void and without force or effect unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Assignee.

 

5.     Assignor hereby authorizes Assignee or Assignee’s agents to collect the rents and revenues from the Property and hereby directs each tenant of the Leases to pay such rents and revenues to Assignee or Assignee’s agents; provided, however, so long as there shall exist no default (after such default is not cured within the one time 30-day cure period provided for in the Note) by Assignor in the payment of the principal and interest on the Note, in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein, in the Note, the Deed of Trust or in any other instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note, Assignor shall have the right to collect and receive as trustee for the benefit of Assignee and Assignor all rents and revenues arising under the Leases or from the Property and to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the sums secured by the Deed of Trust, with the balance, so long as no such default exists, (after such default is not cured within the one time 30-day cure period provided for in the Note) to the account of Assignor; it being the intention of Assignor and Assignee that this Agreement constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.

 

 2 
 

 

6.     Upon or at any time after default by the Assignor in the payment of the principal and interest on the Note, in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein, in the Note, the Deed of Trust, or in any other instrument executed by the Assignor in connection with the Note, and such default is not cured within the cure periods as provided for in the Note, the Assignee may, but is not obligated or required, at its option, without notice, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the said principal and interest on the Note, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a Court, take possession of the Property described in the Deed of Trust, hold, manage, lease and operate the same on such terms and for such period of time as Assignee may deem proper. Additionally, Assignee may demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all rents, income and revenues of the Property, including those past due and unpaid, without taking possession of the Property. Assignee shall also have full power to make, from time to time, all alternations, renovations, repairs or replacements as may seem proper to Assignee and to apply such rents, income and profits to the payment:

 

(a)   First, all expenses of managing the Property, including, without limitation, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees as Assignee may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which the Assignee may deem necessary or desirable, the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and regaining possession of the Property; and

 

(b)   Second, the principal and interest on the Note, together with all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Assignee in enforcing Assignor’s obligations hereunder, under the Note and the Deed of Trust, all in such order of priority as to any of the items mentioned in this paragraph as the Assignee in its sole discretion may determine.

 

No credit shall be given Assignee for any sum or sums received from the rents, income or revenues of the Property until the money collected is actually received by Assignee and no credit shall be given for any uncollected rents or other uncollected amounts or bills, nor shall credit on any indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust be given for any rents, income and revenues derived from the Property after Assignee obtains title to the Property under order of the Court or by operation of law or otherwise. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted in this paragraph and the collection of the rents, income and revenues and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Assignor under the Note, Deed of Trust, this Assignment or any other instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note.

 

7.     Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee’s failure to let the premises after default or from any other act or omission of Assignee in managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Assignee. Furthermore, it is understood that Assignee shall not be obligated to assume, perform or discharge nor does Assignee undertake to assume perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability of Assignor under the Leases, it being agreed that Assignee shall be treated as agreeing to assume, perform or discharge such obligations, duty or liability only if:

 

(a)   Assignee shall, by written notice sent to the tenant named in the Leases, specifically so elect, or

 

 3 
 

 

(b)   Assignee shall foreclose under the Deed of Trust and take possession of the Property.

 

Aside from its own gross negligence as willful misconduct, in no event shall Assignee be liable for the performance or discharge of any obligations not expressly assumed by it, or in any assignment or other transfer by Assignee of its interests in the Leases or the Property to any other party. Assignor shall, and does hereby agree to, defend (with counsel acceptable to Assignee), indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expenses which may be or is incurred by Assignee under the Leases, or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which maybe asserted against Assignee or by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on the part of Assignee to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases, except such obligations or undertaking expressly assumed by Assignee or resulting from an act or omission of the Assignee.

 

Aside from liability incurred by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, if Assignee should incur any such liability, or be subject to any such claims, all expenses incurred or expended by Assignee in protecting its interest (including reasonable attorney’s fees) shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee upon written demand within thirty (30) days. Upon the failure of Assignor to reimburse Assignee, Assignee may, at its option, declare all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust immediately due and payable. It is further understood that this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility upon Assignee, except as otherwise specifically provided, in the case of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Assignee for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenant or any other parties, or from any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence (but not the gross negligence) in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss, injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger.

 

8.     In the event there shall have been made payment in full of the principal and interest on the Note, and Assignor shall make, or cause to have been made, full performance of all of Assignor’s obligations under the Deed of Trust, this Assignment, and all other instruments executed by Assignor in connection with the Note, shall become and be void and of no further force or effect, and Assignee shall promptly file a recordable release of same in the Official Public Records of the counties in which the Property is located. An affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer, agent or attorney of Assignee indicating that any part of the principal or interest on the Note remains unpaid or that Assignor’s obligations remain unperformed shall be conclusive evidence of the continuing validity and effectiveness of this agreement and any person may, and is authorized to, rely thereon.

 

 4 
 

 

9.     Assignor authorizes and directs the tenants named in the Leases, upon receipt from Assignee of written notice to the effect that (i) Assignee is then the holder of the Note, Deed of Trust and this Assignment; and (ii) that a default exists under any of the provisions of one or all of such instruments, to pay over to Assignee all rents, income and revenues arising or accruing under the Leases and to continue to do so until otherwise notified by Assignee. Assignor and Assignee each agree that (i) any tenant or occupant shall have the right to inquire as to whether default actually exists; and (ii) Assignor shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or occupant for any such rents paid by any tenant or occupant to Assignee following receipt of such notice.

 

10.     Nothing contained in this Agreement and no act done or omitted by Assignee pursuant to the powers and rights granted it hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and remedies under the Note, Deed of Trust or under any other instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note, and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Assignee under the terms of any instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note. The collection and application of the rents, income and revenues to the Note, or as otherwise provided above, shall not constitute a waiver by Assignee of any default which might at the time of such application or thereafter exist under any documents executed by Assignor in connection with the Note. The Note may be accelerated in accordance with its terms, notwithstanding the application of rents, income and revenues.

 

11.    In the event of foreclosure of the Deed of Trust by sale or otherwise, Assignee is authorized (i) to sell Assignor’s interest in the Leases as lessor together with the Property; or (ii) to assign the same without consideration to the purchaser at any such sale or to any other claimant to title to the Property by virtue of foreclosure of the Deed of Trust. There shall be no liability to account to Assignor for any rents or profits accruing after the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.

 

12.    Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Assignee such further instruments and documents as, from time to time during the existence of this Assignment, Assignee may reasonably require in order to perfect the interest and the right of Assignee under this Assignment.

 

13.    No remedy or right conferred upon Assignee by operation of law, by this Assignment, the Note, the Deed of Trust or by any other instrument executed by Assignor in connection with the Note is intended to be, nor shall it be, inclusive of any other right or remedy, but each and every remedy or right shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy or right conferred upon Assignee and each and every such remedy or right may be pursued by Assignee in such manner and order, together or separately, and at such times as Assignee may elect.

 

14.    If any term or provision of this Assignment, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Assignment, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Assignment shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Guarantor shall furnish to Bank, from time to time, financial statements and such other information as Lender may reasonably request, but no more frequently than as provided for in the Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and among Borrower, Guarantor and Bank.

 

If any one or more of the Borrowers are corporations or partnerships, it is not necessary for the Bank to inquire into the powers of the Borrowers or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon such professed exercise of power, shall be guaranteed hereunder.

NOTICE TO THE GUARANTOR

 

If the debt guaranteed is a consumer debt, you are notified as follows:

 

You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do. If the borrower doesn't pay the debt, you will have to. Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.

 

You may have to pay up to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount.

 

The bank can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The bank can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing wages, etc., as allowed by law If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.

 

This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.
