Inspection and Audit Rights The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit and will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Master Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer.
Maintenance of Existence and Properties Maintain its corporate existence and obtain and maintain all rights, privileges, licenses, approvals, franchises, properties and assets necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business.
Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business Each Credit Party shall: do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights and franchises; continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder; at all times maintain, preserve and protect all of its assets and properties used or useful in the conduct of its business, and keep the same in good repair, working order and condition in all material respects (taking into consideration ordinary wear and tear) and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements and improvements thereto consistent with industry practices; and transact business only in such corporate and trade names as are set forth in Disclosure Schedule (5.1).
Audit Rights Tenant, within 365 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within 90 days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 90 day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 365 day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. EXHIBIT C
Preservation of Existence and Franchises Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, rights, franchises and authority. Each Credit Party shall remain qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify and be in good standing could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights Each of Holdings and the Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain proper books of record and account in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of Holdings, the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. Each of Holdings and the Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise visitation and inspection rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.08 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided further that (a) when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give Holdings and the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with Holdings’ or the Borrower’s independent public accountants.
Maintenance of Existence and Rights Shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, authorities to transact business, rights and franchises, trade names, patents, trademarks and permits necessary to the conduct of its business.
Maintenance of Existence; Conduct of Business Except as permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its leases, privileges, licenses, permits, franchises, qualifications, and rights that are necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner in accordance with good business practices.
Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence, etc (a) (i) Preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and (ii) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except, in each case, as otherwise permitted by Section 7.4 and except, in the case of clause (ii) above, to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (b) comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Audit Right In the event that within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for the prior calendar year, Tenant reasonably believes that certain of the Operating Expenses charged by Landlord include costs that are not properly included within the term “Operating Expenses” or that Landlord has erred in calculating same, Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord’s books and records in accordance with this subsection. Tenant shall exercise such audit right by providing Landlord with a written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such audit right within such 90-day period and a statement enumerating reasonably detailed reasons for Tenant’s objections to the Statement issued by Landlord (the “Audit Notice”). Upon the receipt by Landlord of an Audit Notice, Landlord shall instruct its property manager for the Building to meet with a designated employee of Tenant (the “Tenant Representative”) to discuss the objections set forth in the Audit Notice. Landlord shall provide the Tenant Representative with reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records at the property manager’s office relating to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question in order to attempt to resolve the issues raised by Tenant in the Audit Notice. If, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Audit Notice, Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve Tenant’s objections, then not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such 30-day period, Tenant may conduct the audit. Such audit shall be performed by an independent, reputable certified public accounting firm charging for its services on an hourly rate (and not a contingent fee) basis (“Acceptable Accountants”) for the purpose of inspecting and auditing Landlord’s books and records for the Building relating to the objections raised in Tenant’s Audit Notice. Prior to commencing such audit, the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant must enter into a confidentiality agreement whereby the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant agree to keep the results and findings of such audit confidential. Such audit shall be limited to a determination of whether or not Landlord calculated the Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. All costs and expenses of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant; provided, however, in the event it is ultimately determined that Landlord has overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of the audit (but in no event to exceed the lesser of the amount of the overcharge to Tenant or $2,000.00) plus the amount determined to have been overpaid by Tenant. Any audit performed pursuant to the terms of this subsection shall be conducted only by the Acceptable Accountants at the offices of Landlord’s property manager. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its audit right pursuant to this subsection only in strict accordance with the foregoing procedures no more often than once per calendar year and each such audit shall relate only to the calendar year most recently ended. In the event that Tenant fails to notify Landlord within the foregoing 90-day period that Tenant objects to the Statement, then Tenant’s right to audit such year’s Statement shall be null and void.
