Leasehold Mortgages Tenant shall have the right to mortgage or pledge its interest in this Lease to one or more Mortgagees which at any time and from time to time during the Term, provided however, that (x) until Final Completion has occurred, all proceeds from any loan secured by Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be used only in connection with the costs of pre-development, development, construction, carry, and operations of the Project and (y) no holder of any Mortgage, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any such Mortgage, shall by virtue thereof, acquire any greater rights hereunder than Tenant has, except the right to cure or remedy Tenant’s defaults or become entitled to a New Lease as more fully set forth in this Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 and such other rights as are expressly granted to Mortgagees in this Lease. No Mortgage shall be effective, unless: at the time of making such Mortgage there is no existing and unremedied Event of Default on the part of Tenant under any of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed; provided however, that if such Event of Default exists, but this Lease has not been terminated and such Event of Default will be cured simultaneously with the granting of such Mortgage or with the proceeds from such Mortgage, Tenant may nevertheless enter into such Mortgage for Tenant’s interest in this Lease; such Mortgage shall be subject to all the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; such Mortgage shall contain in substance the following provisions: “This instrument is executed upon condition that (unless this condition be released or waived by Landlord under said Lease or its successors in interest by an instrument in writing) no purchaser or transferee of said Lease at any foreclosure sale hereunder, or other transfer authorized by law by reason of a default hereunder where no foreclosure sale is required, shall, as a result of such sale or transfer, acquire any right, title or interest in or to said Lease or the leasehold estate hereby mortgaged or pledged, unless and until (i) Landlord has been given written notice of such sale or transfer of said Lease and the effective date thereof, and (ii) such purchaser or transferee has delivered to Landlord a duplicate original or certified copy of the instrument of sale or transfer to Landlord. “The purchaser or transferee of said Lease shall, effective from and after the effective date of the foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, assume and agree to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease to be observed or performed on the part of Tenant after the foreclosure or transfer and, that no further or additional mortgage or assignment of the Lease hereby mortgaged may be made except in accordance with the provisions contained in Article 10 of the Lease. “This mortgage is not a security interest in or lien on the fee interest in the premises covered by the Lease hereby mortgaged. “The mortgagee hereunder waives all right and option to retain and apply the proceeds of any insurance or the proceeds of any condemnation award toward the payment of the sum secured by this mortgage but only to the extent such proceeds are required for and applied to the demolition, repair or restoration of the mortgaged premises in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. “In the event of foreclosure, the mortgagee shall not name, in such foreclosure action or otherwise, and in any event shall not disturb the possession or right to possession (except for default) of, any subtenants of Tenant under the Lease) who are not Affiliates of Tenant. “This mortgage and all rights of the mortgagee hereunder are, without the necessity for the execution of any further documents, subject to the terms of said Lease and the rights of the landlord thereunder, as said Lease may have been previously modified, amended or renewed with the consent of the mortgagor or its predecessors in interest, or may hereafter be modified, amended or renewed with the consent of the mortgagee. Nevertheless, the holder of this mortgage agrees from time to time upon request and without charge to execute, acknowledge. and deliver any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord to evidence the foregoing.” Tenant or the Mortgagee shall give to Landlord written notice of the making of any Mortgage (which notice shall contain the name and office address of the Mortgagee) promptly after the execution and delivery of such Mortgage and a duplicate original or certified copy thereof. Landlord shall give to each Mortgagee, at the address of such Mortgagee set forth in the notice from such Mortgagee or from Tenant, and otherwise in the manner provided by Article 25, a copy of each notice given by Landlord to Tenant hereunder (including any notices of Event(s) of Default under the Lease) at the same time as and whenever any such notice shall thereafter be given by Landlord to Tenant, and no such notice by Landlord shall be deemed to have been duly given to Tenant (and no grace or cure period shall be deemed to have commenced) unless and until a copy thereof shall have been given to each such Mortgagee. Upon receipt of such notice, each Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remedy such Event of Default or cause the same to be remedied, within the following additional time periods (in each instance after the applicable period afforded Tenant for remedying the Event of Default or causing the same to be remedied has expired): (i) a period of ten (10) Business Days more in the case of a monetary Event of Default, and (ii) a period of fifteen (15) Business Days more in the case of a non-monetary Event of Default, or in the case of a non-monetary Event of Default which shall require more than the additional fifteen (15) Business Days to cure using due diligence, then such longer period of time as will be necessary, so long as such Mortgagee shall have commenced to cure (or caused to be commenced such cure) within such additional fifteen (15) Business Day period and continuously prosecutes or causes to be prosecuted the same to completion with reasonable diligence and continuity. Landlord shall accept performance by or on behalf of a Mortgagee of any covenant, condition or agreement on Tenant’s part to be performed hereunder with the same force and effect as though performed by Tenant, so long as such performance is made in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not object to any temporary entry onto the Premises by or on behalf of Mortgagee to the extent necessary to effect such Mortgagee’s cure rights, provided such entry is in compliance with all Applicable Laws. If possession of the Premises or any part thereof is required in order to cure such Event of Default, Mortgagee shall notify Landlord within the applicable period afforded to Mortgagee hereunder. During any period in which Mortgagee, in good faith and acting with reasonable diligence and continuity, is attempting or in the process of curing (or caused to be commenced such cure) a non-monetary Event of Default within the time periods provided in Section 10.04(c), Landlord will not exercise any remedies to terminate this Lease or dispossess Tenant of possession thereof. At any time prior to the expiration of the additional cure period afforded Mortgagee under Section 10.04(c) to cure (or caused to be cured) the Event of Default, Mortgagee may send Landlord notice of its intention to institute foreclosure proceedings, and thereafter, provided Mortgagee commences such foreclosure proceedings, prosecutes such proceedings with all reasonable diligence and continuity (subject to Unavoidable Delays) and, upon obtaining such possession, commences promptly to cure the Event of Default and prosecutes the same to completion with all reasonable diligence and continuity (subject to Unavoidable Delays), Landlord will not exercise any remedies to terminate this Lease or dispossess Tenant of possession thereof; provided however, that: (i) Mortgagee shall have first delivered to Landlord, in writing, its agreement to cure (or caused to be cured), and (ii) during the period in which Mortgagee is curing (or causing such cure of) such Event of Default (and any foreclosure proceedings are pending), all of the other obligations of Tenant under this Lease are being duly performed (including, without limitation, payment of all Base Rent, Additional Costs and Impositions due hereunder (including further, without limitation, the payment of any Impositions or payments of installments for Impositions are being made to a Depository in accordance with Article 5 above)) within any applicable grace periods. However, at any time after the delivery of the aforementioned agreement, the Mortgagee may notify Landlord, in writing, that it has relinquished possession of the Premises or that it will not institute foreclosure proceedings or, if such proceedings have been commenced, that it has discontinued them, and, in such event, the Mortgagee shall have no further liability under such agreement from and after the date it delivers such notice to Landlord (except for any obligations assumed by the Mortgagee and accruing prior to the date it delivers such notice), and, thereupon, Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to terminate this Lease, dispossess Tenant of the Premises and to take any other action Landlord deems appropriate by reason of any uncured Event of Default by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.04 to the contrary, a Mortgagee shall not be required to cure any non-monetary Events of Default of Tenant that are not capable of being cured by such Mortgagee, and if any Mortgagee, assignee or transferee shall acquire the Premises pursuant to a foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, then any such non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant that is not capable of being cured shall no longer be deemed an Event of Default of the acquiring Mortgagee, assignee or transferee of this Lease after such foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure (provided however, that Landlord may continue to pursue any and all remedies at law or in equity against the defaulting Tenant unless Tenant was released of such obligations, provided further, that any such remedies may not involve the disturbance of quiet possession of any Mortgagee, assignee or transferee of the Premises under this Lease or a New Lease). With respect to any non-monetary Event of Default, so long as a Mortgagee shall be diligently exercising its cure rights under this Section 10.04 with respect thereto within the applicable cure periods set forth above and so long as, if possession of the Premises is required to cure the same, Mortgagee shall be taking the actions required by clause (d) of this Section 10.04, Landlord shall not (i) re-enter the Premises, (ii) serve a termination notice, or (iii) bring a proceeding on account of such default to (A) dispossess Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, (B) re-enter the Premises, or (C) terminate this Lease or the leasehold estate (such rights described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being herein “Landlord’s Termination Rights”). In addition, with respect to any monetary Event of Default, Landlord shall not exercise any of Landlord’s Termination Rights so long as a Mortgagee shall be diligently exercising its cure rights under this Section 10.04 within the time periods set forth above. Upon any Mortgagee ceasing to diligently exercise such rights and undertaking such activities, Landlord may exercise any of Landlord’s Termination Rights hereunder. Nothing in the protections to Mortgagees provided in this Lease shall, however, be construed to either (i) extend the Term beyond the stated Fixed Expiration Date provided for in this Lease that would have applied if no Event of Default had occurred or (ii) require such Mortgagee to cure any non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant that is not capable of being cured and as a condition to preserving this Lease or, in the case of a Mortgagee only, to obtaining a New Lease as provided in Section 10.05. The exercise of any rights or remedies of a Mortgagee under a Mortgage, including the consummation of any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, shall not constitute an Event of Default; provided however, that any assignment of this Lease resulting from any such foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure to an entity other than a Mortgagee or an Affiliate of such Mortgagee shall be an Event of Default under this Lease unless such assignment meets the requirements of Section 10.03. Except as provided in clause (d) of this Section 10.04, no Mortgagee shall become liable under the provisions of this Lease unless and until such time as it becomes, and then only for so long as it remains, the owner of the leasehold estate created hereby and no performance by or on behalf of such Mortgagee of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall cause such Mortgagee to be deemed to be a “mortgagee in possession” unless and until such Mortgagee shall take control or possession of the Premises. If there is more than one Mortgagee, the rights and obligations afforded by this Section 10.04 to a Mortgagee shall be exercisable only by the party whose collateral interest in the Premises is senior in lien (or which has obtained the consent of any Mortgagees that are senior to such Mortgagee). In addition to the other rights, notices and cure periods afforded to the holders of any Mortgage, Landlord further agrees that: without the prior written consent of each holder of a Mortgage, Landlord will neither agree to any modification or amendment of this Lease, nor accept a surrender or cancellation of this Lease; Landlord shall consider in good faith any modification to the Lease requested by a Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee (including the Mortgage language set forth in Section10.04(a)(iii)) as a condition or term of granting financing to Tenant, provided that the same does not materially increase Landlord’s obligations or diminish Landlord’s rights and immunities hereunder; the holder of the Mortgage most senior in lien priority on this Lease shall have the right to participate in any dispute resolution proceedings under Article 34 hereof; the holder of the Mortgage most senior in lien priority on this Lease shall have the right to participate in the adjustments of any insurance claims of the nature set forth in Article 7 and Article 8 hereof and condemnation awards of the nature set forth in Article 9 hereof and to serve as the Depository (subject to any terms, conditions and covenants applicable to Mortgagee(s), as set forth in such Articles); and at the request of Tenant from time to time, Landlord shall execute and deliver an instrument addressed to the holder of any Mortgage confirming that such holder is a Mortgagee and entitled to the benefit of all provisions contained in the Lease which are expressly stated to be for the benefit of Mortgagees.
