Waiver of Landlord’s Lien To the extent permitted by Law, Lessor hereby expressly waives any and all liens (constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) upon Lessee’s personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in or on the Leased Premises, which otherwise might exist to secure payment of the sums herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor.
LANDLORD'S LIEN In addition to any statutory lien for rent in Landlord's favor, Landlord (the secured party for purposes hereof) shall have and Tenant (the debtor for purposes hereof) hereby grants to Landlord, an express contract lien and a continuing security interest to secure the payment of all Rent due hereunder from Tenant, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and other personal property of Tenant (and any transferees or other occupants of the Premises) presently or hereafter situated on the Premises and upon all proceeds of any insurance which may accrue to Tenant by reason of damage or destruction of any such property. In the event of a default under this Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law, all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises is located, including without limitation the right to sell the property described in this paragraph at public or private sale upon ten (10) days' notice to Tenant, which notice Tenant hereby agrees is adequate and reasonable. Tenant hereby agrees to execute such other instruments necessary or desirable in Landlord's discretion to perfect the security interest hereby created. Any statutory lien for rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease and the security interest granted herein serve as a financing statement, and a copy or photographic or other reproduction of this Paragraph of this Lease may be filed of record by Landlord and have the same force and effect as the original. Tenant warrants and represents that the collateral subject to the security interest granted herein is not purchased or used by Tenant for personal, family or household purposes. Tenant further warrants and represents to Landlord that the lien granted herein constitutes a first and superior lien and that Tenant will not allow the placing of any other lien upon any of the property described in this Article without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Removal of Tenant’s Property Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant's right of possession of the Premises only, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, for a period of fifteen ( 15) days thereafter to remove Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property and the Financed Personalty, respectively, from the Premises, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due under Article 3 hereof for the actual number of days which elapse during such fifteen (15) day period until the Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property and the Financed Personalty, as applicable, are removed from the Premises. If and to the extent that Tenant fails to remove any of such property by the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, Landlord agrees that Tenant Lender, TE Lender and Franchisor each shall have the right for a period of forty (45) days thereafter to remove the same from the Premises, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due hereunder for the actual number of days which elapse until Tenant Lender, TE Lender or Franchisor remove the same from the Premises during such forty five (45) day period. If and to the extent that any such property remains on the Premises on the sixtieth (60th) day after such termination, the same shall be deemed abandoned, and at Landlord's option shall become the property of Landlord and may be sold or disposed of as Land-lord may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall not use, suffer or permit the use of any Distinctive Property unless the attributes or features thereof associated with Tenant or Franchisor are removed or obliterated. Any and all damage to the Building caused by or resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property or Financed Personalty shall promptly be repaired at no cost or expense to Landlord and Tenant shall be liable for such cost and expense unless such repairs are made by Tenant, Franchisor or TE Lender, as the case may be.
Transfer of Landlord’s Interest Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of transfer and such transferee shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the return of any Security Deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such transferee.
Limitation of Landlord’s Liability The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of title to said property, the Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of said leasehold interest or fee, as the case may be. Tenant, its successors and assigns, shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property and in the rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, or stockholders of Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability.
Rights of Landlord (a) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Building or any portion thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall not operate to exhaust Landlord's rights under this Article 13, nor constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlord's consent thereto is given or required to be given hereunder. In the event of a default by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any such assignee, sublessee or other successor. In addition, Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Building as permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenant's assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all sublease profits (subject to the provisions of Section 13.2(c), below).
Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
Condition of the Leased Property Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in title (other than any Affiliate of Lessee, which conveyed the Property to Lessor) for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim, in Lessor’s or Lessee’s name, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation.
Landlord’s Property All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, at Landlord’s election, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided; however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to any Alteration or improvement, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the applicable Alteration or improvement will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Consent of Landlord Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to sublet up to fifty percent (50%) of the total rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises without the necessity of obtaining Landlord's prior consent and without releasing the Tenant from liability under this Lease. Prior to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its election to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises or to assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, and shall provide Landlord current financial information and other information requested by Landlord regarding the proposed assignee or subtenant. At any time within fifteen (15) days after service of said notice and delivery of such information, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it consents or refuses to consent to the sublease or assignment. Landlord shall not have the right to recapture any sublease or assignment space. Any denial of such sublease or assignment by Landlord as hereinabove provided must be predicated upon a "commercially reasonable basis" for such denial. Tenant shall retain any profits paid in connection with a sublease or assignment in excess of Tenant's Base Rent obligations hereunder, which profits shall be calculated after deducting all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the space subject to the transfer, which shall include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and the time to sublease and remodel the Leased Premises. Any assignment or subletting shall not release Tenant of its liability under this Lease nor permit any subsequent assignment, subletting or other prohibited act, unless specifically provided in such consent. Within thirty (30) days of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide to Landlord executed copies of all assignment or subleasing documents.
