Assignment of Leases and Rents There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.
Assignment of Leases The Assignment of Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.
Assignment of Lease The Tenant may not assign the Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises or otherwise grant possession of the Premises or any portion thereof to any other person without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the Tenant be released or discharged from the full performance of this Lease and the payment of all rents and monies and the observance of all covenants, agreements, terms and conditions herein contained and any such consent granted by the Landlord shall not be deemed or implied as consent to any further or subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event this Lease is assigned or all or a portion of the Premises sublet, the Tenant shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Landlord in any such assignment or subletting, including the Landlord’s legal costs in connection therewith and a non-refundable amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) in advance to the Landlord, representing a reasonable cost to the Landlord for reviewing such application. Any transferee shall enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord covenanting to be bound by all of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder to the extent applicable to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01 or anything else contained herein, so long as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable curative period provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this Lease, including without limitation, the obligation of any transferee to enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord covenanting to be bound by all of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder to the extent applicable, to assign this Lease and/or sublease the whole or part of the Premises to:
Assignment of Rents and Leases (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property (the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents, royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Borrower under the Leases for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same were supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following default under the Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Mortgaged Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, profits and other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called "Rents"), together with any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have against any tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents so assigned. Prior to an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Borrower shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit of Huntington and Borrower.
(b) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:
(i) Borrower has good title to the Leases and Rents hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment. No person or entity other than Borrower has or will have any right, title or interest in or to the Leases or Rents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to do so. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.
(iii) Borrower shall generally operate and maintain the Mortgaged Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.
(iv) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.
(v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than sixty (60) days prior to accrual.
(c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under any of the Leases; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and shall be payable by Borrower immediately without demand and shall be secured hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care, management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Huntington or make Huntington responsible or liable for any negligence in the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or injury or death to any party.
(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter defined:
(i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid directly to Huntington, and Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases (or any other parties in possession of the Mortgaged Property) to pay all of the Rents directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for which this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;
(ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to manage, operate, lease and develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation, development, leasing and construction of the Mortgaged Property as Huntington, in its sole discretion, may deem proper; and
(iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof, and to appoint an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings to have a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents. In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under Subsections 17(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Mortgaged Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property or Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property and the costs of procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the payment of interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Huntington secured by the Mortgage. Unless Huntington and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Borrower and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in the Notes. The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to foreclose the Mortgage or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon. Huntington shall have such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the value of the Mortgaged Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the solvency or insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or the other sums hereby secured.
(e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without further consent of Borrower, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases.
(f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the prior written consent of Huntington.
Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.
Leases and Rents (a) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a "Renewal Lease")) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, and (v) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection 3.8(a) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this Subsection together with Borrower's certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Subsection.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) upon request, shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed, (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor's interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Security Instrument and any subordinate agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this Subsection together with Borrower's certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Subsection.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease. The term "Major Lease" shall mean any Lease between Borrower as landlord and a third party as tenant demising in the aggregate more than the lesser of (i) 15,000 rentable square feet or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the total rentable square feet at the Property.
Amendment of Lease This lease may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
GUARANTY OF LEASE THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (“Guaranty”) is entered into as of July 5, 2019, by Ascend Wellness Holdings, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of LCR 1014 EASTPORT PLAZA, LLC (“Lessor”), with reference to the following facts: Lessor and HealthCentral Illinois Holdings, LLC (“Lessee”), have entered or will enter into a lease of even date herewith (the “Lease”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Lease. By its covenants herein set forth, Guarantor has induced Lessor to enter into the Lease, which was made and entered into in consideration for Guarantor’s said covenants. Subject to the terms set forth herein, Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, without deduction by reason of setoff, defense or counterclaim, to Lessor and its successors and assigns the full and punctual payment (and not merely the collectability), performance and observance by Lessee, of all of the amounts, terms, covenants and conditions in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be paid, kept, performed and observed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the scope of Guarantor’s obligations exceed Lessee’s obligations under the Lease except to the extent Lessee is relieved of any such obligation by reason of any bankruptcy or other like filing or order. If Lessee shall at any time default in the punctual payment, performance and observance of any of the amounts, terms, covenants or conditions in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be paid, kept, performed and observed (after applicable notice and cure period), Guarantor will pay, keep, perform and observe same, as the case may be, in the place and stead of Lessee. Guarantor shall also pay to Lessor all reasonable and necessary incidental damages and expenses incurred by Lessor as a direct and proximate result of Lessee’s failure to perform, which expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest on all sums due and owing Lessor by reason of Lessee’s failure to pay same, at the maximum rate allowed by law. Any act of Lessor, or its successors or assigns, consisting of a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, the giving of any consent to any matter or thing relating to the Lease, or the granting of any indulgence or extension of time to Lessee may be done without notice to Guarantor and without releasing Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by Lessor’s receipt, application or release of any security given for the performance and observance of any covenant or condition in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be performed or observed, nor by any modification of the Lease, regardless of whether Guarantor consents thereto or receives notice thereof. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by: (a) the release or discharge of Lessee in any creditor’s, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceeding; (b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Lessee or the estate of Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Lessee’s liability under the Lease resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other statutes or from the decision of any court; (c) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings; (d) the assignment or transfer of the Lease by Lessee; (e) any disability or other defense of Lessee; (f) the cessation from any cause whatever of the liability of Lessee; (g) the exercise by Lessor of any of its rights or remedies reserved under the Lease or by law; or (h) any termination of the Lease. If Lessee shall become insolvent or be adjudicated bankrupt, whether by voluntary or involuntary petition, if any bankruptcy action involving Lessee shall be commenced or filed, if a petition for reorganization, arrangement or similar relief shall be filed against Lessee, or if a receiver of any part of Lessee’s property or assets shall be appointed by any court, Guarantor shall pay to Lessor the amount of all accrued, unpaid and accruing rent and other charges due under the Lease and all principal and interest and other charges under to the date when the debtor-in- possession, the trustee or administrator accepts the Lease and commences paying same. At the option of Lessor, Guarantor shall either: (a) pay Lessor an amount equal to the rent and other charges which would have been payable for the unexpired portion of the Lease term reduced to present-day value; or (b) execute and deliver to Lessor a new lease for the balance of the Lease term with the same terms and conditions as the Lease, but with Guarantor as Lessee thereunder. Any operation of any present or future debtor’s relief act or similar act, or law or decision of any court, shall in no way affect the obligations of Guarantor or Lessee to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Guaranty. Guarantor may be joined in any action against Lessee in connection with the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and recovery may be had against Guarantor in any such action. Lessor may enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder without first taking any action whatever against Lessee or its successors and assigns, or pursuing any other remedy or applying any security it may hold. Until all of the covenants and conditions in the Lease on Lessee’s part to be performed and observed are fully performed and observed, Guarantor: (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee by reason of any payment or performance by Guarantor hereunder; and (b) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease. This Guaranty shall apply to the Lease, any extension, renewal, modification or amendment thereof, to any assignment, subletting or other tenancy thereunder and to any holdover term following the Lease term granted under the Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, in the event Lessee assigns the Lease or subleases the Premises in accordance with the provisions of the Lease to a third party which is not an entity controlling or controlled by or under common control with Lessee or Guarantor (a “Third Party Assignee”) then (a) the undersigned shall not be responsible for any incremental increase in Rent or other obligation under the Lease or for or during any extension of the Lease term resulting from an amendment to the Lease between Lessor and such Third Party Assignee which provides for an increase in Rent or other obligation due under the Lease or an extension of the Lease term or for any exercise of any option to extend the Lease term which may be exercised by said Third Party Assignee, unless Guarantor shall have consented in writing to such increase in Rent or other obligation or extension of Lease term; and (b) as a condition to the undersigned’s liabilities under this Guaranty, Lessor shall be required to deliver written notice of any defaults by Lessee or the Third Party Assignee to Guarantor and Guarantor shall have the right to cure same within the time period provided in the Lease. In the event of any litigation between Guarantor and Lessor with respect to the subject matter hereof, the unsuccessful party in such litigation shall pay to the successful party all fees, costs and expenses thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. If there is more than one undersigned Guarantor, (a) the term “Guarantor”, as used herein, shall include all of the undersigned; (b) each provision of this Guaranty shall be binding on each one of the undersigned, who shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder; and (c) Lessor shall have the right to join one or all of them in any proceeding or to proceed against them in any order. Within fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s written request (which requests may not be made more than once per calendar year), Guarantor shall furnish Lessor with financial statements or other reasonable financial information reflecting Guarantor’s current financial condition, certified by Guarantor or its financial officer. If Guarantor is a publicly-traded corporation, delivery of Guarantor’s last published financial information shall be satisfactory for purposes of this Paragraph. This instrument constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral and written agreements and understandings with respect thereto. It may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Lessor. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. Every notice, demand or request (collectively “Notice”) required hereunder or by law to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing. Notices shall be given by personal service or by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telegram, mailgram or same-day or overnight private courier, addressed to the party to be served at the address indicated below or such other address as the party to be served may from time to time designate in a Notice to the other party. Any action to declare or enforce any right or obligation under the Lease may be commenced by Lessor in the state courts of the State of Illinois. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such Court for such purposes. Any notice, complaint or legal process so delivered shall constitute adequate notice and service of process for all purposes and shall subject Guarantor to the jurisdiction of such Court for purposes of adjudicating any matter related to this Guaranty. Lessor and Guarantor hereby waive their respective rights to trial by jury of any cause of action, claim, counterclaim or cross-complaint in any action, proceeding and/or hearing brought by either Lessor against Guarantor or Guarantor against Lessor on any matter whatever arising out of, or in any way connected with, the Lease, or this Guaranty. This Guaranty may be assigned in whole or part by Lessor upon written notice to Guarantor, but it may not be assigned by Guarantor without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. The terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
