Liens and Encumbrances The Company shall not directly or indirectly make, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other lien or encumbrance of any nature in, to or against any part of the Pledged Property or of the Company's capital stock, or offer or agree to do so, or own or acquire or agree to acquire any asset or property of any character subject to any of the foregoing encumbrances (including any conditional sale contract or other title retention agreement), or assign, pledge or in any way transfer or encumber its right to receive any income or other distribution or proceeds from any part of the Pledged Property or the Company's capital stock; or enter into any sale-leaseback financing respecting any part of the Pledged Property as lessee, or cause or assist the inception or continuation of any of the foregoing.
Mechanic’s Liens Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all costs and charges for work (a) done by Tenant or caused to be done by Tenant, in or to the Premises, and (b) for all materials furnished for or in connection with such work. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord, the Premises, and the Project free, clear, and harmless of and from all mechanics’ liens and claims of liens, and all other liabilities, liens, claims, and demands on account of such work by or on behalf of Tenant, other than work performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease. If any such lien, at any time, is filed against the Premises or any part of the Project, Tenant shall cause such lien to be discharged of record within ten (10) days after the filing of such lien, except that if Tenant desires to contest such lien, it shall deliver to Landlord, within such 10-day period, at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the claim, plus estimated costs and interest, by cashier’s check or certified funds which shall be held by Landlord as security to insure payment of the lien and to prevent any sale of the Project by foreclosure or otherwise by reason of such lien. If a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of a lien for any amount is entered, Tenant shall pay and satisfy the same at once. If Tenant fails to pay any charge, cost or expense for which a mechanics’ lien has been filed, and has not given Landlord security as described above, Landlord may, at its option, pay such charge and related costs and interest, and the amount so paid, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such lien, shall be immediately due from Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. Nothing contained in this Lease will be deemed the consent or agreement of Landlord to subject Landlord’s interest in the Project to liability under any mechanics’ or other lien law. If Tenant receives written notice that a lien has been or is about to be filed against the Premises or the Project, or that any action affecting title to the Project has been commenced on account of work done by or for or materials furnished to or for Tenant, it shall immediately give Landlord written notice of such notice. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work (including but not limited to any maintenance, repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, or installations) in or to the Premises, by or for Tenant, Tenant shall give Landlord (i) written notice of the proposed work and the names and addresses of the persons supplying labor and materials for the proposed work and (ii) two copies of Tenant’s plans and specifications for such work.
