Seller shall be responsible for paying all costs related to the termination of the Existing Management Agreement and Buyer shall be responsible for paying all reasonable and actual costs of the Franchisor related to the assignment or termination, as applicable, of the Existing Franchise Agreement.
(b) At Closing, Buyer shall enter into the New Management Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E and the New Franchise Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, containing terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer (including, without limitation, such terms and conditions as may be required to accommodate Buyer’s and/or Buyer’s Affiliates’ REIT structure).
(c) Seller shall use best efforts to promptly provide all information required by the Franchisor in connection with the New Franchise Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Franchisor shall agree on the form and substance of the New Franchise Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, the New Franchise Agreement shall contain such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.
Franchise Agreement (a) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Properties shall at all times be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreements. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee to cause Manager to, (i) pay all sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager under the Franchise Agreements, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Franchise Agreements, (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice to Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee of any default by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager under the Franchise Agreements and notify Lender of any material default under the Franchise Agreements of which it is aware, (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice to Franchisor of any default by Franchisor under the Franchise Agreements, (v) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of non-performance, report and estimate (a) received by Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee under the Franchise Agreements and (b) required to be delivered by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager to Franchisor under the Franchise Agreements, (vi) complete all work required under any PIP on or prior to the Outside Date, (vii) not modify or amend the Franchise Agreements to the extent such modification or amendment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (viii) except as provided in clause (b) below not terminate, cancel, or replace the Franchise Agreements, nor replace the Franchisor, nor waive or release any of its rights and remedies under the Franchise Agreements in any material respect, without Lender’s prior written consent. Each request by Borrower for approval and consent by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.25 shall be in writing and contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter. In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such matter within such ten (10) Business Day period (and, in the case of a withholding of consent, stating the grounds therefor in reasonable detail), then, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted. There shall be no administrative or approval fee in connection with this Section 5.25(a), but Borrower shall pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Mortgage Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall have the right, and the right to permit Franchisor, without the prior written approval of Lender (but upon prior written notice to Lender), to terminate a Franchise Agreement at an Individual Property; provided, however, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder in the event that within sixty (60) days of the termination of such Franchise Agreement
(i) Borrower shall have failed (or shall have failed to cause Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee in the case of clause (2) hereof) to deliver to Lender either (1) a PIP Guaranty relating to any New PIP contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager or (2) Cash to be deposited into the PIP Reserve Account in an amount equal to the PIP Required Deposit contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager, which Cash shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 9.9 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and (ii) Borrower fails to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that a Replacement Franchise Agreement or a Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager is in full force and effect at the applicable Individual Property.
Grant of Franchise (a) For and in recognition of the mutual consideration set forth in this Franchise Agreement, the satisfaction of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, Franchisee is hereby granted a nonexclusive Franchise to construct, place, replace, repair, maintain, extend, and operate its facilities along, across, upon, under, or in the City's Rights of Way, for the purpose of providing a fiber optic network to provide digital data and/or voice transport. The City may, in writing, approve amendments to the locations and to the routes of Franchisee’s fiber optic facilities, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) This Franchise Agreement does not grant Franchisee the authority or right to provide end user "Cable Service." For the purposes of this agreement, "Cable Service" is defined as the one-way transmission to subscribers of video programming or other programming services, and subscriber interaction, if any, which is required for the selection of such video programming or other programming service.
(c) The grant of this Franchise Agreement shall not convey title, equitable or legal, to Franchisee in the Rights of Way of the City and shall only give to Franchisee the right to occupy the Rights of Way of the City for the purposes and for the time stated in this Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement does not:
(1) Grant Franchisee the right to use Facilities or any other property, telecommunications- related or otherwise, owned or controlled by the City or a third party, without the valid written consent of the City or the third party.
(2) Grant Franchisee the authority to construct, to operate, or to maintain any Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any property owned by the City outside a Right of Way, including but not limited to public parks, City Hall, public works facilities, or other public property. The parties agree that the City and Franchisee shall— if it becomes necessary—enter into separate agreements for the placement of Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any City-owned property not located in a Right of Way.
(3) Excuse Franchisee from obtaining appropriate access or attachment agreements before locating its Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any property or facilities owned or controlled by the City or by any third party.
(d) As noted in subsection (b), Franchisee shall not provide any additional services for which a separate franchise is required by the City without first obtaining a separate franchise or amending this Franchise Agreement. In particular, this Franchise Agreement does not grant Franchisee the right to provide cable service as a cable operator (as defined by 47 U.S.C. § 522(5)) within the City. Xxxxxxxxxx also agrees that this Franchise Agreement does not permit it to operate an open video system without the payment of fees contemplated by 47 U.S.C. § 573(c)(2)(B) and without complying with all FCC regulations promulgated pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 573. Franchisee shall not knowingly allow the use of its Facilities by any third party in violation of this subsection or of any federal, state, or local laws.
(e) Nothing in this Franchise Agreement shall be construed as giving Franchisee any exclusive rights or privileges.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Franchisee reserves all rights it may have under applicable federal, state and local laws affecting this Franchise Agreement, including but not limited to K.S.A. 12-2001.
Franchise Agreements (a) Each Non-Marriott Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the applicable Franchise Agreement in all material respects. Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any material default by the franchisee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a material default under the Franchise Agreement, report regarding operations at the related Individual Property, estimates of any monetary nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case received by any Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Franchise Agreement.
(b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) If any franchisee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said franchisee (and/or such Borrower and/or Operating Lessee) in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(d) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Franchise Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.
(f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable Franchise Agreement have been paid in full.
(g) Upon the termination of any Franchise Agreement, each Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Franchise Agreement with a replacement Franchisor, which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter to and in favor of Lender, all upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender.
Existing Management and Franchise Agreements Seller has furnished to Buyer true and complete copies of the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement, which constitutes the entire agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and which have not been amended or supplemented in any respect.

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.
