2.1.3    The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

 

Section 2.2   Interest Rate.

 

2.2.1    Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest under this Agreement and the Note shall be payable as follows:

(b)          Commencing on the Principal and Interest Installment Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, to and including the first day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay the Monthly Installment; and

 

(c)          On the Maturity Date, a final payment in the aggregate amount of the unpaid principal sum evidenced by the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other unpaid amounts of the Secured Indebtedness shall become immediately payable in full.

 

(d)          Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a substantial portion of the original Loan Amount shall be outstanding and due on the Maturity Date.

 

(e)          Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, except that (i) if the Advance Date occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, interest payable for the period commencing on the Advance Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Advance Date occurs shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable, and (ii) if the Maturity Date occurs on a date other than the last day of the month, interest payable for the period commencing on the first day of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs and ending on the Maturity Date shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable.

 

Section 2.3           Application of Payments. At the election of Lender, and to the extent permitted by law, all payments shall be applied in the order selected by Lender to any expenses, prepayment fees, late charges, escrow deposits and other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and to unpaid interest at the Interest Rate or at the Default Rate, as applicable. The balance of any payments shall be applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount.

 

 12LOAN AGREEMENT

 

 

Section 2.4  Security. The covenants of the Security Instrument are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. The Note shall evidence, and the Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases shall secure, the Secured Indebtedness.

 

Section 2.5  Late Charge. If any payment of interest and/or principal (other than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), or any payment of a required escrow deposit is not paid within seven (7) days after the due date, Lender shall have the option to charge Borrower the Late Charge, provided, however, such Late Charge shall not be charged with respect to the first late payment during the term of the Loan nor with respect to the final payment due on the Maturity Date. The Late Charge is for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred in connection with handling and processing delinquent payments and is payable in addition to any other remedy Lender may have. Unpaid Late Charges shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be added to any subsequent payments due under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.6  Acceleration Upon Event of Default. At the option of Lender, if Borrower fails to pay any sum specified in this Agreement or the Note within seven (7) days after the due date, or if any other Event of Default occurs, the Accelerated Loan Amount shall become immediately due and payable.

 

Section 2.7   Interest Upon Event of Default. The Accelerated Loan Amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate, which shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for under the laws of the State. The Default Rate shall commence upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall continue until all defaults are cured.

 

Section 2.8   Limitation on Interest. The agreements made by Borrower with respect to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no event shall the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Lender exceed the highest lawful amount of interest permissible under the laws applicable to the Loan. If at any time performance of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents results in the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable laws being exceeded, then the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Lender shall automatically and without further action by any party be deemed to have been reduced to the highest lawful amount of interest then permissible under applicable laws. If Lender shall ever receive, charge or contract for, as interest, an amount which is unlawful, at Lender’s election, the amount of unlawful interest shall be refunded to Borrower (if actually paid) or applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, any amounts contracted for, charged or received under the Loan Documents included for the purpose of determining whether the Interest Rate would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be calculated by allocating and spreading such interest to and over the full stated term of the Loan.

 

Section 2.9  Prepayment. Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Loan Amount at any time during the term of this Loan except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.9.

In addition, commencing on December 1, 2021, Borrower may prepay the Loan with a Prepayment Fee on forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to Lender. If Borrower provides notice of its intention to prepay, the Accelerated Loan Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in the prepayment notice.

 

 13LOAN AGREEMENT

 

 

2.9.1    Prepayment Fee. Any tender of payment by Borrower or any other person or entity of the Secured Indebtedness, other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, shall constitute a prohibited prepayment. If a prepayment of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness is made following (i) an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Maturity Date, (ii) the application of money to the principal of the Loan after a casualty or Condemnation, or (iii) in connection with a purchase of the Property or a repayment of the Secured Indebtedness at any time before, during or after, a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or sale of the Property, then to compensate Lender for the loss of the investment, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Borrower makes a good faith effort to recover any Prepayment Fee which would be due as a result of a casualty or Condemnation, from the insurer in the case of a casualty or from the condemning authority in the case of a Condemnation, then the Prepayment Fee due as a result of the casualty or Condemnation shall be waived except to the extent recovered by Borrower. Lender will, upon request, provide an estimate of the amount of the Prepayment Fee two (2) weeks before the date of the scheduled prepayment.

 

2.9.2    Waiver of Right to Prepay Note Without Prepayment Fee . Borrower acknowledges that Lender has relied upon the anticipated investment return under the Note and this Agreement in entering into transactions with, and in making commitments to, third parties and that the tender of any prohibited prepayment or any permitted prepayment which pursuant to the terms of the Note and this Agreement requires a Prepayment Fee, shall include the Prepayment Fee. Borrower agrees that the determination of the Interest Rate was based on the intent, expectation and agreement (and the Interest Rate would have been higher without such agreement) of Borrower and Lender that the amounts advanced under the Note and this Agreement would not be prepaid during the term of the Loan, or if any such prepayment would occur, the Prepayment Fee would apply (except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Note and this Agreement). Borrower also agrees that the Prepayment Fee represents the reasonable estimate of Lender and Borrower of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of a prepayment of the Loan and it shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under the Loan Documents

 

BORROWER EXPRESSLY (A) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER GEORGIA LAW TO PREPAY THE LOAN, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT FEE OR PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE LOAN, AND (B) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF THE LOAN IS MADE, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE LOAN BY LENDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION WHICH IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THEN BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY LENDER CONCURRENTLY THE PREPAYMENT FEE. BY EXECUTING THE NOTE AND THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

 

III.         TAXES, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES AND OTHER CHARGES.

 

Section 3.1  Payment of Impositions. Unless otherwise paid to Lender as provided in Section 5.1.14(a), Borrower shall pay all Impositions. The Impositions shall be paid not later than thirty (30) days before the date on which the particular Imposition would become delinquent and Borrower shall produce to Lender receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender, evidencing the payment of the Imposition in full. If Borrower elects by appropriate legal action to contest any Imposition, Borrower shall first deposit cash with Lender as a reserve in an amount which Lender reasonably determines is sufficient to pay the Imposition plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending the determination of the contest. If Borrower deposits this sum with Lender, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Imposition provided that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of the Imposition, or the sale or forfeiture of, the Property, and is prosecuted with due diligence and continuity. Upon termination of any proceeding or contest, Borrower shall pay the amount of the Imposition as finally determined in the proceeding or contest. Provided that there is not then an Event of Default, the monies which have been deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section shall be applied toward such payment and the excess, if any, shall be returned to Borrower.

(e)          Borrower shall be required during the term of the Loan to continue to provide Lender with original renewal Policies or replacements of the Policies referenced in Section 6.1.1(a). Lender may accept Certificates of Insurance, if satisfactory to Lender, evidencing Policies referenced in this Section 6.1.1 instead of requiring the actual Policies. Lender shall be provided with renewal Certificates of Insurance, or Binders, prior to each expiration. The failure of Borrower to maintain the insurance required under this Article VI shall not constitute a waiver of Borrower’s obligation to fulfill these requirements.

 

(f)          All binders, Policies, endorsements, certificates, and cancellation notices are to be sent to the Lender’s Address for Insurance Notification until changed by notice from Lender.

 

(g)          If any Policy referred to in this Section 6.1.1 is written on a blanket basis, a list of locations and their insurable values shall be provided, as required by Lender.

In the event any Remedial Work is required under any Requirements of Environmental Laws, Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed the Remedial Work in compliance with the applicable law, regulation, order or agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to undertake any Remedial Work with respect to the Existing Contamination except as required pursuant to Section 21 of the Environmental Indemnity or as otherwise required in order to be in compliance with all Requirements of Environmental Laws. All Remedial Work shall be performed by one or more contractors, selected by Borrower and approved in advance in writing by Lender, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer, selected by Borrower and approved in advance in writing by Lender. All costs and expenses of Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower including, without limitation, the charges of the contractor(s) and/or the consulting engineer, and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’, architects’ and/or consultants’ fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of the Remedial Work. In the event Borrower shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, the Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, subject to the provisions of Section 7.5, Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 of the Security Instrument.

 

Section 9.3    Environmental Site Assessment. Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to undertake, at the expense of Borrower, an environmental site assessment on the Property, including any testing that Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or desirable to ascertain the environmental condition of the Property and the compliance of the Property with Requirements of Environmental Laws; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and/or Lender has a reasonable expectation that there has been an exposure to, introduction of, or release of Hazardous Materials or a violation of any Requirements of Environmental Law, Lender shall not have the right to undertake at the expense of Borrower such environmental site assessment on the Property more frequently than every twelve (12) months. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender and its consultants performing such assessments and tests.

 

Section 9.4   Unsecured Obligations. No amounts which may become owing by Borrower to Lender under this Article IX or under any other provision of this Agreement as a result of a breach of or violation of this Article IX shall be secured by the Security Instrument. The obligations shall continue in full force and effect and any breach of this Article IX shall constitute an Event of Default. The security title conveyed by the Security Instrument shall not secure (i) any Unsecured Obligations, or (ii) any other obligations to the extent that they are the same or have the same effect as any of the Unsecured Obligations. The Unsecured Obligations shall continue in full force, and any breach or default of any such obligations shall constitute a breach or default under this Agreement but the proceeds of any foreclosure sale shall not be applied against Unsecured Obligations. Subject to Section 12.20, nothing in this Section shall in any way limit or otherwise affect the right of Lender to obtain a judgment in accordance with applicable law for any deficiency in recovery of all obligations that are secured by the Security Instrument following foreclosure, notwithstanding that the deficiency judgment may result from diminution in the value of the Property by reason of any event or occurrence pertaining to Hazardous Materials or any Requirements of Environmental Laws.

Lender may sell, transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest or one or more participation interests in the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, if any, and the Environmental Indemnity at any time and from time to time, including, without limitation, its rights and obligations as servicer of the Loan. Lender may issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in the Loan in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, if any, and the Environmental Indemnity with a trust that may issue securities (the “Securities”).

No such sale, transfer, assignment, participation or securitization by Lender shall increase in any material respect Borrower’s costs or obligations or reduce Borrower’s rights in connection with the Loan. Borrower and Liable Party shall provide an estoppel certificate or any other documents to the Investor or the Rating Agency as may be reasonably requested by Lender, provided such requirements do not unreasonably exceed Borrower’s reporting obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.2 Splitting of the Mortgage. The provisions of Section 5.2 of the Security Instrument are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

Borrower shall also furnish to such Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower or any Liable Party as may be requested by Lender, any Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall be responsible for all fees Lender incurs in connection with any such transaction.

(d)          If any warranty, representation, certification, financial statement or other information made or furnished at any time pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, if any, or the Environmental Indemnity by Borrower or by any Liable Party is materially false or misleading;

 

(e)          If Borrower suffers or permits the Property, or any part of the Property, to be used in a manner that might (1) impair Borrower’s title to the Property, (2) create rights of adverse use or possession, or (3) constitute an implied dedication of any part of the Property; or

Section 11.2 Remedies. The provisions of Article VII of the Security Instrument are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

 

Section 11.3 Duration of Events of Default. If any Event of Default occurs (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall accept, in writing, performance of the defaulted obligation or shall execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Borrower shall have no right to cure any Event of Default, and Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such cure or performance or to execute and deliver any such writing. Without limitation, this Section shall govern in any case where reference is made in the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, if any, and/or the Environmental Indemnity to (i) any “cure” (whether by use of such word or otherwise) of any Event of Default, (ii) “during an Event of Default,” “the continuance of an Event of Default” or “after an Event of Default has ceased” (in each case, whether by use of such words or otherwise), or (iii) any condition or event which continues beyond the time when the same becomes an Event of Default.

Each party has received the advice of counsel with respect to this waiver.

 

Section 12.7 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.8 Severability.

 42LOAN AGREEMENT

 

 

Section 12.10 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

Section 12.11 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

 

Section 12.12 Expenses; Indemnity.

 

(a)          The provisions of Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 of the Security Instrument are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, Lender’s right to receive reimbursement of legal fees, attorney fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, or similar language shall be deemed to mean Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and such provision shall not be subject to the statutory presumption contained in O.C.G.A. Section 13-1-11.

 

(b)          Without limiting the effect of Section 12.12(a), Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Section 4.1.5 or Section 5.2.8 of this Agreement.

Section 12.14 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)          This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

 43LOAN AGREEMENT

 

  

Section 12.15 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender or any of its affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender; provided, however, Lender shall not be entitled to review or approve any filings or any press releases that Borrower or its counsel reasonably believe are required in order to comply with applicable laws, including any applicable securities laws, provided that Lender and its affiliates shall not be named in any press release without Lender’s prior written consent.

 

Section 12.16 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 12.17 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity.

 

Section 12.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and that such Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or any other agreements or instruments that govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its affiliates engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its affiliates.

 

 44LOAN AGREEMENT

 

  

Section 12.19  Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than CBRE Capital Markets (“Broker”), and Borrower shall be solely responsible for payment of all commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts due and payable to Broker pursuant to the terms of their separate agreement, all of which commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts shall be paid to Broker by Borrower on the Execution Date. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender and MetLife HCMJV 1, LP, and their respective affiliates, partners and participants, and the officers, directors, agents, employees of each of them, and the successors and assigns of each of them harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may have been involved in other transactions with Broker, and Borrower agrees that it shall have no rights against Lender or defenses to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity due to any such relationship.

 

Section 12.20  Exculpation. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except as provided in this Section 12.20, Lender will look solely to the Property and the security under the Loan Documents for the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness and will not enforce a deficiency judgment against Borrower. However, nothing contained in this Section shall limit the rights of Lender to proceed against Borrower and the general partners of Borrower (if any) and/or Liable Party, if any, (i) to enforce any Leases entered into by Borrower or its affiliates as Tenant; (ii) to recover damages actually incurred by Lender due to fraud, material misrepresentation, material breach of warranty or intentional physical waste committed by Borrower; (iii) to recover any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or other similar funds which have been applied by Borrower in a manner prohibited by the Loan Documents or which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been paid to Lender; (iv) to recover any tenant security deposits, tenant letters of credit or other deposits or fees paid to Borrower that are part of the collateral for the Loan or prepaid rents for a period of more than thirty (30) days which have been applied by Borrower in a manner prohibited by the Loan Documents; (v) to recover Rents and Profits received by Borrower after the first day of the month in which an Event of Default occurs and prior to the date Lender acquires title to the Property which have not been applied to the Secured Indebtedness or in accordance with the Loan Documents to operating and maintenance expenses of the Property; (vi) to recover damages, costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender and directly arising from, or in connection with Article IX of this Agreement pertaining to Hazardous Materials or the Environmental Indemnity; (vii) to recover all amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 9 of the Note, Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 of the Security Instrument and Section 12.12 hereof and any amount expended by Lender in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument; (viii) to recover costs and damages arising from Borrower’s failure to pay Premiums or Impositions in the event Borrower is not required to deposit such amounts with Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.14(a) of this Agreement, but only to the extent adequate Rents and Profits from the Property then exist to pay such Premiums and Impositions (provided nothing herein shall be construed to preclude Lender from looking to the Property and the security under the Loan Documents to recover such costs and damages); and/or (ix) to recover damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 4.1.5 and/or Section 5.2.8 pertaining to ERISA.

 

The limitation of liability set forth in this Section 12.20 shall not apply and the Loan shall be fully recourse in the event that prior to the repayment of the Loan, Borrower commences a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower (other than by the MetLife Parties) and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after Borrower obtains actual knowledge of filing. In addition, this agreement shall not waive any rights which Lender would have under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Loan or to require that the Property shall continue to secure all of the Loan.

 

 45LOAN AGREEMENT

 

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event there is a Transfer or Secondary Financing except as permitted in the Loan Documents or otherwise approved in writing by Lender.

Section 12.23  Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

Section 12.24  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement.
