No Joint Venture or Partnership Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein 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 Collateral other than that of secured party, mortgagee or lender.
Formation of the Partnership The Partnership was formed as a limited partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act and the Original Agreement and continued upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Partners and administration and termination of the Partnership shall be governed by the Act. The Partnership Interest of each Partner shall be personal property for all purposes.
Leases of the Property Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower's obligations as landlords under any leases of the Property or any part thereof. Borrower shall furnish Ocwen with executed copies of all non-residential leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, and all non-residential leases hereafter entered into will be subject to Ocwen's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall provide copies of all residential leases to Ocwen within thirty (30) Business Days after Ocwen's request therefore. Unless otherwise directed by Ocwen and except for non-residential leases, all leases of the Property made after the date hereof shall specifically provide that such leases are subordinate to this Instrument; that the tenant attorns to Ocwen or the Ocwen Affiliates, such attornment to be effective upon Ocwen's or the Ocwen Affiliates' acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Ocwen or the Ocwen Affiliates may from time to time request; and that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure. In addition, all lessees (other than lessees under residential leases) of all or any part of the Property shall execute a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance and Estoppel Certificate in substantially the same form attached hereto as Exhibit B or as agreed to by Ocwen or the Ocwen Affiliates. Except for residential leases amended, modified, executed, surrendered, or terminated in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, Borrower shall not, without Ocwen's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, execute, modify, surrender or terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, permit an assignment or sublease of such a lease, or request or consent to the subordination of any lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien subordinate to this Instrument. If Borrower becomes aware that any tenant (other than a residential tenant) proposes to do, or is doing, any act or thing which may give rise to any right to set-off against rent, Borrower shall (a) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any right to a set-off against rent, (b) notify Ocwen thereof and of the amount of said set-offs, and (c) within ten days after such accrual, reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right to set-off or take such other steps as shall effectively discharge such set-off and as shall assure that rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without set-off or deduction.
Preservation of Organization The Sellers shall use their best efforts to preserve the business organization of the Company (including Subsidiaries) intact and to persuade all employees of the Company or Subsidiaries to remain in its employment after the Closing; provided that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute an obligation of the Sellers, Purchaser or the Company to continue the employment of any such employee. The Sellers shall also use their best efforts to retain, preserve and maintain the business relations of the Company or the Subsidiaries with its suppliers, customers and others having business relationships with it.
BUSINESS OF THE PARTNERSHIP The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, provided, however, that such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise ceases to qualify as a REIT, and in a manner such that the General Partner will not be subject to any taxes under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture, co-ownership or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, and without limiting the General Partner’s right in its sole and absolute discretion to qualify or cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that the General Partner intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and upon such qualification the avoidance of income and excise taxes on the General Partner inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not solely to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Limited Partners agree that the General Partner may terminate its status as a REIT under the Code at any time to the full extent permitted under the Charter. The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall also be empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code.
Limited Liability Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Member shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member of the Company.
Limited Liability Company Agreement The Member hereby states that except as otherwise provided by the Act or the Certificate of Formation, the Company shall be operated subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
