Assignor hereby assigns, transfers, and delivers to Assignee all Security Deposits held by Assignor under the Leases as of the Closing Date, whether in cash, letters of credit, or other instruments of security, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

At Closing, Assignor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Assignee all cash Security Deposits held by Assignor (or Assignor's property manager or agent) under the Leases, or, at Assignor's election and with Assignee's consent, shall credit Assignee at Closing for the aggregate amount of all such cash Security Deposits in lieu of physical delivery.

Assignor hereby assigns and delivers to Assignee all tenant files, correspondence, lease files, tenant notices, estoppel certificates, subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreements, consents, and records pertaining to the Leases and the tenants of the Property, to the extent such files, correspondence, and records are in the possession or control of Assignor or Assignor's property manager, Atlas Urban Management Corp. ("Property Manager"). Assignor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Property Manager to deliver all such tenant files and records to Assignee (or Assignee's designated property manager) at or promptly following Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assignor shall not be required to deliver any documents that are subject to attorney-client privilege or that constitute Assignor's internal analyses, valuations, or investment memoranda relating to the Property.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Assignee agrees to perform, observe, and comply with all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Leases required to be performed, observed, or complied with by the landlord thereunder, to the extent such obligations first arise from and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation:

(a) the obligation to provide or cause to be provided all services required to be provided by the landlord under the Leases, including building services, utilities, maintenance, and repair obligations;

(b) the obligation to comply with all covenants of quiet enjoyment, non-disturbance, and similar protective provisions set forth in the Leases for the benefit of tenants;

(c) the obligation to perform or cause to be performed any tenant improvement work, tenant allowances, or rent abatement obligations that are required to be performed by the landlord under the Leases and that first arise from and after the Closing Date;

(d) the obligation to maintain insurance coverages required to be maintained by the landlord under the Leases;

(e) the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property as required under the Leases; and

Assignee further acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Assignee shall be bound by and shall comply with all rent regulation and rent stabilization laws, rules, and orders applicable to the residential units at the Property, including, without limitation, the Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 (as codified in the Administrative Code of the City of New York), the Rent Stabilization Code (9 N.Y.C.R.R. Part 2520 et seq.), and the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, to the extent applicable to the residential tenancies at the Property.

Section 2.2 — Pre-Closing Obligations Retained by Assignor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment, Assignor shall remain responsible for and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Assignee (in accordance with Article 5 hereof) with respect to all landlord obligations under the Leases that accrued prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation:

(a) any unfulfilled tenant improvement obligations, tenant improvement allowances, moving allowances, or free rent obligations that accrued or were triggered prior to the Closing Date and remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, regardless of when performance or payment is due, except to the extent that Assignee received a credit or adjustment at Closing for such obligations pursuant to the proration and adjustment provisions of the Agreement;

(b) any defaults by the landlord under the Leases occurring prior to the Closing Date, whether or not notice of such default has been given by the applicable tenant;

(c) any claims, demands, actions, or proceedings by tenants for acts or omissions of the landlord (or the landlord's agents, employees, or contractors, including the Property Manager) occurring prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, claims for property damage, personal injury, breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment, constructive eviction, or failure to provide required services or make required repairs; and

(d) any liability arising from Assignor's failure to comply with applicable law in the holding, maintenance, or administration of Security Deposits prior to the Closing Date, including any failure to comply with New York General Obligations Law Section 7-103.

The foregoing indemnification obligations of Assignor shall be subject to and limited by the prorations and adjustments set forth in Article 9 of the Agreement, and nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Assignor to the extent that Assignee received a credit at Closing or was otherwise compensated for such obligation pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 PRORATIONS

Section 3.1 — Rent Prorations.

All rents, additional rents, operating expense escalations, tax escalations, common area maintenance charges, percentage rents (if any), and all other charges and amounts payable by tenants under the Leases shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, in accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement. Assignor shall be entitled to receive all rents and other charges under the Leases accruing for the period prior to the Closing Date, and Assignee shall be entitled to receive all rents and other charges under the Leases accruing for the period from and after the Closing Date. To the extent that any rents or charges relate to a period that spans the Closing Date (e.g., monthly rent for the month in which the Closing occurs), such rents and charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis, with Assignor receiving a credit for the portion attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date and Assignee receiving a credit for the portion attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date, all as more particularly set forth in the Agreement.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that all adjustments and reprorations with respect to operating expense escalations, real estate tax escalations, utility charges, and other pass-through charges under the Leases shall be subject to final reconciliation and reproration as provided in Article 9 of the Agreement, which reproration provisions shall survive the Closing for the period specified therein.

Section 3.2 — Delinquent Rents.

No credit shall be given to Assignor at Closing for any rents, additional rents, or other charges that are due and payable by any tenant under the Leases but remain uncollected as of the Closing Date ("Delinquent Rents"). Following the Closing, Assignee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rents in the ordinary course of its management of the Property; provided, however, that Assignee shall have no obligation to institute any legal proceedings, engage collection agents, or otherwise incur costs or expenses in connection with the collection of Delinquent Rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assignee shall not waive, discount, or compromise any claim for Delinquent Rents owed to Assignor without Assignor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

All payments of rent and other charges received by Assignee from any tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) first, to all current rents and other charges then due and owing to Assignee under the applicable Lease for the period from and after the Closing Date; and

(b) second, to any Delinquent Rents owed to Assignor, which amounts Assignee shall promptly remit to Assignor following receipt.

Assignor shall retain the right to pursue collection of Delinquent Rents directly from the applicable tenants following the Closing; provided, however, that Assignor shall not (i) commence or prosecute any eviction, unlawful detainer, or lease termination proceeding against any tenant, (ii) exercise any landlord's lien or right of distraint against any tenant's property, or (iii) take any other action that would materially interfere with Assignee's relationship with or rights under the Leases with respect to such tenant.
