Leasehold Estate Each Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real estate or, if the related Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property (a "Ground Lease"), by the related Mortgagor's interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"), and as to such Ground Leases:
(a) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related lessor) does not prohibit the current use of the Mortgaged Property and does not prohibit the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File;
(b) The lessee's interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than Permitted Encumbrances;
(c) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Purchaser and the Trustee as its assignee upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Closing Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by the Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor or if such lessor's consent is required it cannot be unreasonably withheld;
(d) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Ground Lease provides that no material amendment to such Ground Lease is binding on a mortgagee unless the mortgagee has consented thereto, and the Seller has received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder, and, to the Seller's knowledge, there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(e) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to the holder of the Mortgage; and (B) provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered or is required to enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease.
(f) A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(g) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(h) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award awarded to the holder of the ground lease interest will be applied either (A) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by the related Mortgage having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling a third party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender), or (B) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
(i) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders lending on a similar Mortgaged Property in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located; and such Ground Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of the lessee thereunder for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;
(j) Such Ground Lease requires the Lessor to enter into a new lease upon termination of such Ground Lease if the Ground Lease is rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding; and
(k) Such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors or assigns; provided, however, that termination or cancellation without such consent may be binding on the mortgagee if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice is provided to the mortgagee and (iii) such default is curable by the mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period.
Condition of Leased Property Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and Tenant accepts the Leased Property in its “as is” condition, subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title, including all covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, mineral leases, easements and other matters of record or that are visible or apparent on the Leased Property, all applicable Legal Requirements, the lien of any financing instruments, mortgages and deeds of trust existing prior to the Commencement Date or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and such other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection of the Leased Property and the record title thereto or by an accurate survey thereof. TENANT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE LEASED PROPERTY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING AND HAS FOUND THE CONDITION THEREOF SATISFACTORY AND IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO AND TENANT WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. To the maximum extent permitted by law, however, Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all of Landlord’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in interest or insurer for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the prosecution of any such claims, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation.
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.
SUBORDINATION OF LEASE This Lease and Lessee’s interest hereunder shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of any deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other Encumbrances heretofore or hereafter granted by Lessor or which otherwise encumber or affect the Leased Property and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, and extensions thereof (all of which are herein called the “Mortgage”); provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage hereafter granted, such subordination is conditioned upon delivery to Lessee of a non-disturbance agreement which provides that Lessee shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Leased Property hereunder following a foreclosure of such Mortgage (or delivery of a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure) and that the holder of such Mortgage or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale (or grantee under such deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure) shall perform all obligations of Lessor under this Lease. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument which may be required to evidence subordination to any Mortgage and to the holder thereof. In the event of Lessee’s failure to deliver such subordination and if the Mortgage does not change any term of the Lease, Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies for breach of covenant hereunder, execute, acknowledge, and deliver the instrument as the agent or attorney-in-fact of Lessee, and Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes Lessor its attorney-in-fact for such purpose, Lessee acknowledging that the appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
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 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:
Leasehold Estate Only If any Mortgage Loan is secured by the interest of a Borrower as a lessee under a ground lease of all or a material portion of a Mortgaged Property (together with any and all written amendments and modifications thereof and any and all estoppels from or other agreements with the ground lessor, a “Ground Lease”), but not by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property or such material portion thereof (the “Fee Interest”), then:
(a) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been submitted for recording; such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments which are a part of the related Mortgage File;
(b) The related lessee’s leasehold interest in the portion of the related Mortgaged Property covered by such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee Interest and Permitted Encumbrances;
(c) The Borrower’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to, and is thereafter further assignable by, the Purchaser upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld; provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts owed thereunder have been paid). If required by such Ground Lease, the lessor has received notice of the lien of the related Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease;
(d) The related ground lessor has agreed to provide the holder of the Mortgage Loan notice and the holder of such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable time to cure any default or breach by the lessee thereunder, including such time as is necessary to gain possession of the Mortgaged Property, by foreclosure or otherwise, if possession is necessary to effect such cure, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(e) In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related ground lessor provided an estoppel to the originator confirming that the related Borrower was not then in default under such Ground Lease; such Ground Lease provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan unless a copy has been delivered to the mortgagee; the Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of default under or termination of such Ground Lease; to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease; and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
(f) Such Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee if it takes possession of such leasehold interest) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years if such Mortgage Loan fully or substantially amortizes by the stated maturity;
(g) Such Ground Lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with a mortgagee upon termination of such Ground Lease as a result of a rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding involving the related Borrower, unless the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan fails to cure a curable default of the lessee under such Ground Lease following notice thereof from the lessor;
(h) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related casualty insurance proceeds with respect to the leasehold interest will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender) or (ii) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
(i) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender on a similar mortgaged property in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan; and
(j) Such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that such mortgagee has provided the ground lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease.
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.
Payment of Leasehold Obligations Each Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent’s request will provide evidence of having done so.
