    	 	 2	ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES

     

    

 

B.           In
accordance with the terms set forth herein, Assignor desires to assign to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest
in and to all leases and all other agreements for possession of all or any portion of the Property, including all of the same now
or hereafter existing, and all extensions, modifications, amendments, expansions and renewals of any of the same and all guaranties
of any obligations under any of the foregoing, including all modifications and amendments to such guaranties. The documents described
in this Recital B are collectively referred to as the “Leases”.

 

In consideration of
the Recitals and for good and valuable consideration, Assignor agrees with Assignee and its successors and assigns as follows:

 

Section 1.          Payment
of Note. Assignor desires to secure (a) the timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Note and all other indebtedness
secured by the Security Instrument; and (b) the full compliance with the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained
in the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other documents executed by Assignor in connection with the Loan.

 

Section 2.          Present
and Absolute Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. Assignor absolutely, presently and unconditionally grants, assigns
and transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases. This grant includes without limitation
all of the following (the “Income”): (a) all rent payable under the Leases; (b) all of Assignor’s right,
title and interest in and to tenant security deposits held by Assignor pursuant to the Leases; (c) all additional rent payable
under the Leases; (d) all proceeds of insurance payable to Assignor under the Leases and all awards and payments on account of
any taking or condemnation; (e) all claims, damages and other amounts payable to Assignor in the event of a default under or termination
of any of the Leases, including without limitation all of Assignor’s claims to the payment of damages arising from any rejection
by a tenant of any Lease under the Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to time, and (f) all other items included in the definition
of Rents and Profits under the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 3.          Specific
Covenants of Assignor. Assignor covenants and agrees:

 

(a)          No
action by Assignee shall release Assignor from its obligations under this Agreement. Assignor irrevocably appoints Assignee its
true and lawful attorney to exercise its rights under this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, which appointment is coupled
with an interest.

 

(b)          If
a petition under the Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by or against Assignor and Assignor, as landlord, shall determine to reject
any Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to demand
that Assignor assume and then assign the Lease and Assignor’s interest as landlord to Assignee and that Assignor shall provide
adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease, in which case Assignor shall comply with such demands.

 

    	 	 3	ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES

     

    

 

(c)          Assignee’s
rights under this Agreement may be exercised either independently of or concurrently with any other right in this Agreement, the
Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or in any other document securing the Note. No action taken by Assignee under this Agreement
shall cure or waive any default nor affect any notice under the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument.

 

Section 4.          Confirmation
of Assignment. Assignor covenants and agrees, upon demand, to confirm in writing the assignment to Assignee of all present
and future Leases upon the terms set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall apply automatically to any Leases entered into after the Execution Date.

 

Section 5.          Representations
and Warranties. Assignor makes the following representations and warranties to Assignee: (a) Assignor has not executed
any currently effective prior assignment of its right, title and interest in the Leases or the Income, and (b) Assignor has not
done any act which might prevent Assignee from exercising its rights under this Agreement.

 

Section 6.          License
to Collect Monies Until Event of Default. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) exists, Assignor
shall have a license to (a) receive and use all Income and (b) enforce the terms of the Leases, all being subject to compliance
with the Loan Documents. This license shall be terminable at the sole option of Assignee, without regard to the adequacy of its
security under this Agreement or under the Security Instrument and without notice to Assignor, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this license does not include the right to receive or use Insurance Proceeds
or any Condemnation Proceeds, each as defined in and governed by the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 7.          Entry
by Assignee and Receiver. During any period that an Event of Default exists: (i) Assignee is authorized either in person
or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding or having a receiver appointed by a court, (a) to enter upon, take
possession of, manage and operate the Property and collect the Income, and (b) to make, enforce, modify, and accept the surrender
of the Leases. (ii) Assignee is authorized to take these actions either with or without taking possession of the Property. (iii)
In connection with this entry, Assignor authorizes Assignee to perform all acts necessary for the operation and maintenance of
the Property. (iv) Assignee may sue for or otherwise collect all Income, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the Income,
less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the indebtedness secured by
the Security Instrument in such order as Assignee may determine. Assignee’s exercise of its rights under this Section shall
not be deemed to cure or waive any breach of any covenant of the Loan Documents or any Event of Default.

 

    	 	 4	ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES

     

    

 

Section
8.          Indemnification. Assignor shall indemnify Assignee
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 against and hold it harmless from any and all liability, claims,
loss or damage which it may incur under the Leases or under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity
shall not apply to any such liability, claim, loss or damage caused by Assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 9.          Mortgagee
in Possession. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the assignment of Leases and Income to Assignee nor the
exercise by Assignee of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation, the entering into possession
or the appointment of a receiver, shall be deemed to make Assignee a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable
with respect to the Property. Although Assignee has the right to do so, it shall not be obligated to perform any obligation under
the Leases by reason of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither this Agreement nor any action or inaction
on the part of Assignee shall constitute an assumption on the part of Assignee of any obligation or liability under any of the
Leases.

 

Section 10.         Reconveyance
and Termination. Upon the payment in full of the Loan, as evidenced by the recording of a satisfaction or reconveyance
of the Security Instrument, this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

 

Section 11.         Tenants
Entitled to Rely on Assignee’s Requests. Assignor irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants and their successors,
upon receipt of any written request of Assignee stating that an Event of Default exists, to pay to Assignee the Income due and
to become due under the Leases. Assignor agrees that the tenants shall have the right to rely upon any such statement without any
obligation to inquire as to whether any Event of Default actually exists and regardless of any claim of Assignor to the contrary.
Assignor agrees that it shall have no claim against the tenants for any Income paid by the tenants to Assignee.

 

Section 12.         Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Assignor and shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by Assignee, its successors and assigns. If more than one person, corporation, partnership or other entity
shall execute this Agreement, then the obligations of the parties executing the Agreement shall be joint and several.

 

Section 13.         Notices.
All notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in accordance with the Notice provision of the Loan Agreement, which is incorporated
into this Agreement by this reference.

 

Section 14.         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the State in which the Property is located.

 

    	 	 5	ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES

     

    

 

Section 15.         Miscellaneous.
This Agreement may be modified, amended, waived, or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of such modification, amendment, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any rights provided
hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any default or Event of Default. Assignor, at its expense, will execute all documents and
take all action that Assignee from time to time may reasonably request to preserve and protect the rights provided under this Agreement.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not expand, limit or otherwise affect the meanings
of the provisions. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one document.

 

Section 16.         Liability
of Assignor. The obligations of Assignor under this Agreement are subject to the limitations on recourse set forth in Section
12.20 of the Loan Agreement.

of Environmental Laws” means all requirements of environmental, ecological, health, or industrial hygiene laws or regulations
or rules of common law related to the Property, including, without limitation, all requirements imposed by any Environmental Permit,

(c)          Borrower’s
use of the Property has not resulted and will not result in the disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials on or to any portion
of the Property.

 

Indemnitors covenant
that these representations and warranties shall be continuing and shall be true and correct from the Execution Date to the date
of reconveyance of the Security Instrument, or the extinguishment of the lien by foreclosure or action in lieu of foreclosure.

 

Section 4.            Indemnification.

 

(a)          Indemnitors
shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Indemnitee from and against all Environmental Claims.

 

(b)          In
the event that any Remedial Work is reasonably necessary or desirable under the Requirements of Environmental Laws because of,
or in connection with, an Environmental Claim, Indemnitors shall within thirty (30) days after written demand by Indemnitee (or
such shorter period of time as may be required under Requirements of Environmental Laws), commence, or cause to be commenced, and
diligently prosecute to completion, all such Remedial Work; provided, however, that Indemnitors shall not be obligated to undertake
any Remedial Work with respect to the Existing Contamination except as required pursuant to Section 21 hereof or as otherwise
required in order to be in compliance with all Requirements of Environmental Laws. All such Remedial Work shall be performed by
one or more contractors, approved in advance in writing by Indemnitee, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved
in advance in writing by Indemnitee. All costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with the Remedial Work shall

or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, the Remedial Work, Indemnitee may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial
Work to be performed and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Remedial Work shall be an Environmental Claim under
this Agreement.

 

(c)          Indemnitors
shall not be liable under this Agreement to the extent of that portion of the costs and liabilities of any Environmental Claim
attributable to an affirmative act of Lender which causes (i) the introduction and initial release of a Hazardous Material at the
Property, or (ii) material aggravation of a then existing Hazardous Material condition at the Property. In addition, if Indemnitee
acquires ownership of the Property through a foreclosure, trustee’s sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Indemnitors shall
not be liable under this Agreement for that portion of costs and liabilities of an Environmental Claim which is attributable to
the introduction and initial release of a Hazardous Material at the Property by any party, other than an Indemnitor at any time
after Indemnitee has acquired title to the Property. In all other circumstances, the liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect after Indemnitee acquires title to the Property, including without limitation with respect
to any Hazardous Materials which are discovered at the Property after the date Indemnitee acquires title but which were actually
introduced to the Property prior to the date of such acquisition, and with respect to any continuing migration or release of any
Hazardous Materials which commenced prior to the date that Indemnitee acquires title. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE PARTIES
HERETO THAT THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION IS AN INDEMNITY BY INDEMNITORS TO INDEMNIFY AND PROTECT THE INDEMNITEE FROM
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS BUT EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF
INDEMNITEE.

(a)          Borrower
shall give immediate written notice to Lender of (i) any proceeding, inquiry or notice by or from any governmental authority regarding
Hazardous Materials, an Environmental Claim or a Requirement of Environmental Laws; (ii) all Environmental Claims; (iii) Borrower’s
discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the
Property or any part thereof to be in violation of a Requirement of Environmental Laws or subject to an Environmental Claim; (iv)
Borrower’s receipt of any notice or discovery of any information regarding the presence or existence of any Hazardous Material
on, under, or about the Property, or any alleged breach or violation of any Requirements of Environmental Laws pertaining to Borrower

shall deliver to Lender copies of all Environmental Claims, and all orders, notices, permits, applications, reports, and other
documents pertaining to the subject matter of the Environmental Claim.

 

Section 6.            Procedures
Relating to Indemnification.

 

(a)          Indemnitors
shall at their own cost, expense, and risk (i) defend through counsel selected by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms hereof
all Environmental Claims that may be brought or instituted against any Indemnitee; (ii) pay any judgment or decree that may be
recorded against any Indemnitee in connection with any Environmental Claim; and (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for the cost of, or
for any payment made by any of them, with respect to any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Hazardous Materials
undertaken as a result of any Environmental Claims against any Indemnitee arising out of the obligations of Indemnitors under this
Agreement.

 

(b)          Counsel
selected by Indemnitors pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnitee asserting a claim
under this Agreement; provided, however, that any Indemnitee may elect to defend any Environmental Claim at the cost and expense
of Indemnitors, if, in the judgment of the Indemnitee (i) the defense is not proceeding or being conducted in a satisfactory manner,
or (ii) there is a conflict of interest between any of the parties to the Environmental Claim.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (i) settle or compromise any Environmental Claim or consent to the
entry of any judgment that does not include the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release of
Indemnitee (in form, scope and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee in its sole discretion) from all liability in respect of
the Environmental Claim, or (ii) settle or compromise any Environmental Claim in any manner that may materially and adversely affect
Indemnitee as determined by Indemnitee in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

 

(d)          Indemnitee
shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions in connection with
the Property involving any Environmental Claim, any Hazardous Material or any Requirements of Environmental Laws. In any circumstance
in which this indemnity applies, Indemnitee may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, negotiate, or defend
any claim, action, or cause of action, and Indemnitee shall have the right to compromise or settle the same in the exercise of
its good faith and reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee will use reasonable efforts to provide Indemnitors
with an opportunity to consult with Indemnitee prior to compromising or settling any claim, action, or cause of action, but Indemnitee
shall not be bound by any such consultation with Indemnitors and Indemnitee shall have the right to compromise or settle any claim,
action, or cause of action in its good faith and reasonable discretion as aforesaid notwithstanding any input of Indemnitors. Indemnitors
shall reimburse Indemnitee upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitee, including the amount of all costs of
settlements entered into in good faith, and the reasonable fees and other costs and expenses of its attorneys and consultants,
including without limitation those incurred in connection with monitoring and participating in any action or proceeding.

Loan Agreement); (v) the release of Borrower or any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the Loan Documents

in any particular order. Indemnitors agree that any payments required to be made under this Agreement shall become due on demand.
Indemnitors expressly waive and relinquish all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors. The
indemnity provided for under this Agreement shall not be contingent upon the existence of any rights of subrogation nor subject

in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections

before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein, Indemnitee’s right to receive reimbursement of legal fees, attorney fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, or similar
language shall be deemed to mean Indemnitee’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
