R E C I T A L S:

A.

Assignor and Assignee have entered into that certain letter agreement dated as of July 16, 2010, as amended (the “Agreement”) relating to the sale of that certain tract of land together with the improvements thereon (the “Property”) located in Fort Myers, Florida, and being legally described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

C.

 Pursuant to the terms of certain Leases, certain tenants thereof have paid to Assignor certain security deposits (“Security Deposits”), which are listed on the Rent Roll.

D.

 Assignor desires to assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Leases, including all rents (“Rents”), due or to become due under the Leases on or after November 5, 2010  (“Proration Date”), and in the Security Deposits, to Purchaser in accordance with the terms herein set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Recitals; Defined Terms.  The foregoing recitals are acknowledged to be accurate and are incorporated herein by reference.  Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and not defined herein but defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

2.

Assignment.  Assignor hereby absolutely sells, assigns, transfers and conveys all of its right, title and interest in and to the Leases, the Rents and the Security Deposits to Assignee.  Assignor represents and warrants to Assignee that as of the date hereof and the Proration Date, except as may be set forth in Exhibit C, (i) the Leases are in full force and effect, there exist no defaults by Assignor under the Leases and Assignor has fully performed all of its obligations under the Leases through the Proration Date and (ii) that Assignor has not previously sold, conveyed or assigned, or purported to sell, convey or assign, the Leases or Rents absolutely or for security, except
