Leasehold Mortgage (a) Tenant may encumber by mortgage, mortgages or other proper instruments this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises as security for any indebtedness undertaken by Tenant (each, a “Leasehold Mortgage”). The execution of a Leasehold Mortgage or other similar instrument, or the foreclosure thereof, or any sale thereunder, either by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power reserved in a Leasehold Mortgage, or conveyance by Tenant to the holder of such indebtedness (each, a “Holder of Leasehold Mortgage”), or the exercising of any right, power or privilege reserved in a Leasehold Mortgage, shall not be held as a violation of any of the terms and conditions hereof, or as an assumption by the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee personally of the obligations hereof, except to the extent that the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee voluntarily assumes said obligations in order to avoid termination of this Lease, provided that such Leasehold Mortgage or the actions taken pursuant thereto shall not violate the following provisions of this Paragraph.
(b) If Tenant shall encumber this Lease or its leasehold interest in the Premises and if Tenant or a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall give written notice to Landlord of the existence thereof and the address of such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, then Landlord will mail or deliver to each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, at such address, a duplicate copy of all notices in writing which Landlord may, from time to time, give to or serve on Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, such copies shall be mailed or delivered to each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, at, or as near as possible to, the same time such notices are given to or served on Tenant. Each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage may, at its option, at any time before the rights of Tenant shall be terminated as provided herein, pay any of the rents due hereunder, or pay any taxes and assessments, or do any act or thing required of Tenant by the terms hereof, or do any act or thing that may be necessary and proper to be done in the observance of the covenants and conditions hereof, or to prevent the termination hereof, all payments so made, and all things so done and performed by such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall be as effective to prevent a termination of the rights of Tenant hereunder as the same would have been if done and performed by Tenant.
(c) Landlord agrees that it will not terminate this Lease because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Tenant, or because the Tenant shall abandon the Premises, or because the Tenant shall suffer this Lease or any estate or interest thereunder to be taken under any writ of execution, or because the Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or because of any other failure on the part of Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants contained in this Lease, if a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage cures any default by Tenant which is curable by the payment of money within thirty (30) days after the date of written notice from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage specifying the nature of the default, or if such default is not curable by the mere payment of money, then if a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall agree in writing to perform (and does perform) within ninety (90) days after the date of the written notice of default from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage specifying the nature of the default all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease capable of performance by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage until such time as this Lease shall be sold upon foreclosure pursuant to the provisions of the Leasehold Mortgage. Provided that a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage pays all amounts then due and payable on the part of the Tenant, including interest and all late penalties, and Landlord’s legal fees incurred as a result of Tenant’s default, Landlord agrees to accept performance by such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage of any term, covenant or condition to be performed by Tenant under this Lease with the same force and effect as though timely performed by Tenant as long as such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage performs within the time periods previously set forth in this Subparagraph. If a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage fails to cure any Tenant default in accord with the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease and proceed with all available remedies to take possession of the Premises and all other rights pertaining thereto, as set forth in the provisions governing default under this Lease. When more than one Holder of Leasehold Mortgage exists, the rights and interests of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage under this Lease shall be determined by the priority of each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage and as such rights and interests may be restricted or otherwise allocated pursuant to any agreement(s) between such Holders of Leasehold Mortgage or between Tenant and such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding any such agreement(s), Landlord is required to give any notice required hereunder to all Holders of Leasehold Mortgage of which Landlord has been given written notice. Landlord acknowledges that some Tenant defaults may not be capable of cure by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, such as the bankruptcy of the Tenant. Landlord agrees that Tenant defaults which are by their nature impossible to cure by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed a basis for termination of this Lease so long as all other defaults which are capable of cure are cured in accordance with this Section.
(d) Landlord agrees that this Lease shall not be hereafter modified or amended without the prior written consent of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage to:
(i) Increase the Annual Rent or additional rent (except with regard to increases now provided in the Lease);
(ii) Change the legal description of the Premises from that now set forth in this Lease;
(iii) Shorten the term or any renewal term of this Lease, except as now permitted by this Lease;
(iv) Change the permitted use of the Premises; or
(v) Impose any additional obligations upon Tenant. Landlord further covenants and agrees not to accept a surrender of the Premises or a cancellation or release of this Lease from Tenant (except pursuant to the exercise of Landlord’s remedies provided herein if an event of default occurs) prior to the expiration or earlier termination thereof without the prior written consent of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage.
(e) If Landlord exercises Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease as provided in Article 20 hereof, then each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall have the right to notify Landlord in writing, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of written notice from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, that such one or more Holders of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof elects to lease the Premises from the date of such termination of this Lease for the remainder of the scheduled term of this Lease, including the option terms, at the rent and upon the other same terms, covenants and conditions that are herein set forth, with the same relative priority as this Lease and having the benefit of investing in such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof of all of the rights, title, interests, powers and privileges of Tenant hereunder. If such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage elects to obtain such new lease, then such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage shall be obligated, within thirty (30) days after delivery to Landlord of such notice of election, to (i) cure the default upon which such termination was based, or in respect to any default not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day time period or which cannot be cured without entry and possession to proceed and effectuate such cure with due diligence following delivery of possession (excluding, however, Tenant defaults which by their nature are impossible to cure); (ii) pay to Landlord all Annual Rent including interest, all late penalties, and all items of additional rent due and payable under this Lease up to and including the date of commencement of the term of such new lease; and (iii) pay to Landlord all expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any such default and termination and with the preparation, execution and delivery of such new lease. Upon such performance by such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof, such parties shall have the same relative priority as this Lease and having the benefit of all the rights, titles, interests, powers and privileges of Tenant hereunder, including, specifically, automatic vesting of title to all improvements as well as all equipment, fixtures and machinery therein, until the expiration of the term of this Lease unless this Lease shall thereafter be sooner terminated. Such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof shall be obligated under such new lease and agree in writing that promptly following the delivery of the new lease, such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee will perform or cause to be performed all of the other covenants and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed.
(f) Unless excused by Landlord, if any assignee or transferee of a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or new lessee deriving rights from the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage fails to cure any of the Tenant’s defaults within one hundred twenty (120) days from the effective date of such assignment, transfer or new lease, this Lease and the lease rights hereunder and under any such new lease shall terminate forthwith at Landlord’s option and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, such option to be exercised by sending written notice to the assignee or transferee that the new lease has been terminated pursuant to this provision.
(g) Landlord agrees to execute and deliver any and all consents and other documents (including reasonable modifications to this Lease) reasonably requested by Tenant and/or one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage so long as such documents are reasonably consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.02.
(h) Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 7 or elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may, in its sole discretion, enter into lease financing, conventional financing and other arrangements in connection with the acquisition, lease and disposal of the equipment and/or personal property including, without limitation, leasing of equipment and/or personal property from another with an option to purchase at the end of the lease term and assignment of Tenant’s interests in the equipment and/or personal property, if required, as security for these transactions.
(i) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve, impair, release, or discharge Tenant of its obligations to fully perform the terms of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed.
(j) Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 7 or elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Landlord enter into any financing and other arrangements which do not create a lien on the leasehold estate created hereby, including without limitation, pledges of proceeds from all uses of the Premises as provided in this Lease.
(k) As used herein:
Operating Lease (i) Each Borrower shall (a) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Operating Leases and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (b) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Operating Lease of which it is aware; (c) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice under any Operating Lease delivered to any Operating Lessee by Borrower; (d) promptly give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that an Operating Lessee is terminating its Operating Lease or that any Operating Lessee is otherwise discontinuing its operation of the applicable Individual Property; and (e) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the Operating Lessee under the applicable Operating Lease.
(ii) If at any time, (A) an Operating Lessee shall become insolvent or a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding or (B) Lender or its designee has taken title to an Individual Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, has become a mortgagee-in-possession, has appointed a receiver with respect to the applicable Individual Property or has otherwise taken title to such Individual Property, Lender shall have the absolute right to (and Borrower and Operating Lessee shall reasonably cooperate and not in any way hinder, delay or otherwise interfere with Lender’s right to), immediately terminate the applicable Operating Lease under and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subordination, Attornment and Security Agreement.
(iii) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) surrender, terminate or cancel any Operating Lease or otherwise replace any Operating Lessee or enter into any other operating lease with respect to any Individual Property, provided, however, at the end of the term of each Operating Lease, the applicable Borrower may renew such Operating Lease or enter into a replacement Operating Lease with Operating Lessee on substantially the same terms as the expiring Operating Lease except that Lender shall have the right to approve any material change thereto; (b) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any Operating Lease; or (c) enter into, renew, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, reduce Rents under, or shorten the term of any Operating Lease.
Subordination to Mortgage This Lease, and any sublease entered into by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them, and the rights of any assignee of Landlord or of any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor under any of the foregoing, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that such subordination in the case of any future ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them shall be conditioned on Tenant’s receipt from the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant (i) confirming that so long as Tenant is not in material default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period (for which purpose the occurrence and continuance of any event of default under Section 14.1 hereof shall be deemed to be “material”), Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity and (ii) agreeing that the benefit of such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be transferable to any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and to any other assignee or subtenant that is acceptable to the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor at the time of transfer. If any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee elects to have this Lease be an encumbrance upon the Center prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or leaseback lease or other security arrangement and gives notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date thereof or the date of recording thereof. Tenant, and any sublessee, shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sate/leaseback lessor or assignee to evidence the subordination herein set forth, subject to the conditions set forth above, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or other security arrangement, as the case may be. Upon any default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or assignment, provided that Tenant has received such a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the applicable party, Tenant (and any sublessee) shall, notwithstanding any subordination hereunder, attorn to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, leaseback lessor or assignee thereunder upon demand and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest, and shall execute and deliver any instrument or instruments confirming the attornment herein provided for. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, neither the Premises, the Building nor the Center is subject to any existing ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security.
SUBORDINATION OF LEASE This Agreement and Tenant's interest hereunder are and shall be subordinate, junior and inferior to any and all mortgages, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter placed on the Premises by Landlord, all advances made under any such mortgages, liens or encumbrances (including, but not limited to, future advances), the interest payable on such mortgages, liens or encumbrances and any and all renewals, extensions or modifications of such mortgages, liens or encumbrances.
Ground Lease (a) Each Ground Lease contains the entire agreement of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor and the applicable owner of the fee interest in such Unencumbered Property (the “Fee Owner”), pertaining to the Unencumbered Property covered thereby. With respect to Unencumbered Property subject to a Ground Lease, the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors have no estate, right, title or interest in or to the Unencumbered Property except under and pursuant to the Ground Lease or except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Agent. The Borrower has delivered a true and correct copy of the Ground Lease to the Agent and the Ground Lease has not been modified, amended or assigned, with the exception of written instruments that have been recorded in the applicable real estate records for such Unencumbered Property.
(b) The applicable Fee Owner is the exclusive fee simple owner of the Unencumbered Property, subject only to the Ground Lease and all Liens and other matters disclosed in the applicable title policy for such Unencumbered Property subject to the Ground Lease, and the applicable Fee Owner is the sole owner of the lessor’s interest in the Ground Lease.
(c) There are no rights to terminate the Ground Lease other than the applicable Fee Owner’s right to terminate by reason of default, casualty, condemnation or other reasons, in each case as expressly set forth in the Ground Lease.
(d) Each Ground Lease is in full force and effect and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no breach or default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default under any Ground Lease (a “Ground Lease Default”) exists or has occurred on the part of a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or on the part of a Fee Owner under any Ground Lease. All base rent and additional rent, if any, due and payable under each Ground Lease has been paid through the date hereof and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is required to pay any deferred or accrued rent after the date hereof under any Ground Lease. Neither Borrower nor a Subsidiary Guarantor has received any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred or exists, or that any Fee Owner or any third party alleges the same to have occurred or exist.
(e) The Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is the exclusive owner of the ground lessee’s interest under and pursuant to each Ground Lease and has not assigned, transferred or encumbered its interest in, to, or under the Ground Lease, except to Agent under the Loan Documents.
