Assignment and Subletting by Tenant 7.1.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the determination of the amount of rent be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the subtenant from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales). Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Leasehold Mortgage Lessee shall at all times and from time to time have the right to encumber by mortgage, deed of trust, or security agreement (the “Mortgage”) Lessee’s leasehold estate in the Premises, together with Lessee’s rights and interests in all buildings, fixtures, equipment, and improvements situated thereon, and all rents, issues, profits, revenues, and other income to be derived by Lessee therefrom, to secure such loans from time to time made by any Person to Lessee; provided, however, that such Mortgage shall in no event encumber Lessor’s fee title or leasehold interest (as applicable) in the Premises or Lessor’s interest under this Lease.
Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”) and to any future Mortgage provided that in the case of a future Mortgage the subordination shall be subject to the proposed lender providing the Tenant such lender’s standard form Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Upon full execution of this Lease by the Landlord and the Tenant, the Landlord agrees to request an SNDA in such lender’s customary form, from the existing lender holding a mortgage on the Property.
Landlord’s Right To Mortgage Tenant agrees to accept the premises subject to and subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or other lien, and Landlord reserves the right to subject premises to same. Tenant agrees to and hereby irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney for Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and delivering in the name of the Tenant any document(s) related to the Landlord’s right to subject the premises to a mortgage or other lien.
Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
Leasehold Mortgages In connection with the Redevelopment of the Property, Tenant may from time to time grant one or more mortgages, deeds of trust or other security interests in its leasehold estate under this Lease (a “Leasehold Mortgage”) and assign this Lease as security for such Leasehold Mortgage(s). Such Leasehold Mortgages and any foreclosure, sale or other realization proceeding pursuant to any Leasehold Mortgage granted by Tenant and any deed or assignment in lieu thereof (“Realization Proceedings”) shall not require the consent of Landlord and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof. No Leasehold Mortgage shall place or create any lien or encumbrance affecting Landlord’s interest in the Property or the Improvements. The holder of any Leasehold Mortgage (a “Leasehold Mortgagee”) hereunder shall provide Landlord with notice of such Leasehold Mortgage together with a true copy of such Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of such Leasehold Mortgagee (“Leasehold Mortgagee Address”). Following receipt of such notice by Landlord, the provisions of this Section 14 shall apply in respect to such Leasehold Mortgage. Tenant shall promptly provide to Landlord copies of the note and other instruments secured by any Leasehold Mortgage and any and all amendments to any such instruments as may be made from time to time.
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.
Notice to Mortgagee After receiving notice from Landlord of any Holder of a Mortgage which includes the Premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord alleging any default by Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Holder (provided Tenant shall have been furnished with the name and address of such Holder), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such Holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
Sale of Premises by Landlord In the event of any sale of the Building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
Inspection by Lessor Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessee, during reasonable business hours and subject to Lessee's security requirements, will make the Equipment and its related log and maintenance records available to Lessor for inspection.
