Leasehold Mortgages Lessee shall have the right during the term of this Lease to mortgage the Lessee's interest in this Lease, without the prior consent of the Port, and to assign the Lessee's interest in this Lease as collateral security for such leasehold mortgage. All rights acquired by the holder of the leasehold mortgage shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease and to all rights and interests of the Port. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease shall be waived by the Port by reason of the right given to the Lessee to assign its interest in this Lease for security purposes.
15.1 The Leasehold Mortgage shall contain provisions providing that no purchaser or transferee of the Lease at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or by reason of a default under the mortgage where no foreclosure sale is required shall further assign or transfer any right, title or interest in or to this Lease or the leasehold estate covered by the Leasehold Mortgage unless the Port has approved the assignee or transferee in writing.
15.2 In the event the Lessee assigns this Lease for security purposes as provided in this Section 15, after receipt of a written notice from the Lessee giving the name and address of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees that whenever the Port sends a notice to the Lessee under the terms of this Lease, the Port will contemporaneously send a copy of the notice to the leasehold mortgagee.
15.3 The Port further agrees that it will not accept a voluntary cancellation or surrender of the Lease by the Lessee without prior written consent of the leasehold mortgagee and the Port will not enter into any amendments of the lease which modifies any material provision of the lease without prior written approval of the leasehold mortgagee. No merger shall result from the acquisition by or the devolution upon any one entity of the fee and leasehold estates in the property.
15.4 In the event of a notice of default from the Port to the Lessee, the leasehold mortgagee may cure any default within the time provided for in the lease after the leasehold mortgagee's receipt of the notice of default. The Port agrees to accept a tender of cure of default from the leasehold mortgagee as if the cure were tendered by the Lessee. Provided, however, that if it takes the leasehold mortgagee more than thirty (30) days to cure a default (other than the payment of any money due under the lease) because the leasehold mortgagee is not in possession of the property, the lease shall not be in default if the leasehold mortgagee promptly undertakes to obtain possession of the property and diligently pursues its right to possession. No tender of cure of a default by the leasehold mortgagee shall require the leasehold mortgagee to cure any future defaults by the Lessee or require the leasehold mortgagee to perform any other term or condition of this Lease.
15.5 In the event of a default by the Lessee which has not been cured by the Lessee or by the leasehold mortgagee and which would permit the Port to forfeit or otherwise terminate this Lease or in the event the leasehold mortgagee forecloses upon its leasehold mortgage and becomes the holder of the Lessee's interest in this Lease, the Port agrees to accept the leasehold mortgagee as the Lessee under this Lease, provided the leasehold mortgagee performs all of the obligations and covenants of the Lessee contained in this Lease which are capable of being performed by the leasehold mortgagee.
15.6 In the event of a default which is personal to the Lessee (such as a bankruptcy) and which cannot be cured by the leasehold mortgagee and the Lessee's interest under this Lease has been terminated or canceled, then at the written request of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee under the same terms and conditions as this Lease and for any unexpired term of the lease. The Port's execution and delivery of the lease shall be without any representation or warranty of any kind, including any representations or warranties regarding title to the Property, the improvements or the priority of such new lease.
15.6.1 The Port shall be obligated to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee only if the leasehold mortgagee has remedied and cured all monetary defaults of the Lessee under this Lease and has remedied and cured or has commenced and is diligently completing the cure of all non-monetary defaults susceptible to cure by any party other than the original Lessee. The leasehold mortgagee shall pay all costs and expenses of the Port, including, but not limited to, attorney fees, real property transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording fees incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of a new lease and any related conveyances.
15.6.2 If more than one leasehold mortgagee requests a new lease or in the event of a dispute between the Lessee and a leasehold mortgagee, the Port shall have no duty to determine the relative priority of the leasehold mortgages and the Port shall have no obligation to enter into a new lease with any leasehold mortgagees unless the dispute is resolved to the Port's satisfaction within ninety (90) days of the termination of this Lease.
15.6.3 Upon the execution of the new lease by the leasehold mortgagee and the Port, the Port will convey to the leasehold mortgagee by quit claim deed, title to any improvements on the Property by the Lessee in which the leasehold mortgagee has a recorded mortgage or other security interest. The conveyance of the improvements shall be in "as is" condition without any warranty or representation by the Port concerning the condition of the improvements. The Port will not warrant the title to the improvements and the leasehold mortgagee shall accept the title to the improvements subject to any existing encumbrances.
15.6.4 Upon the execution of a new lease and the conveyance of title to improvements, if any, it shall be the responsibility of the leasehold mortgagee to cancel and discharge this Lease and remove any persons occupying the premises. The leasehold mortgagee shall indemnify the Port and hold it harmless from any obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs or expense, including attorney fees, which may arise from such action or from the Port's compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 15.6.
Leasehold Mortgage Tenant shall not be permitted to encumber the fee simple title in the Land, Building or Premises or any of the structures, improvements, fixtures or any other portion of the Premises, including without limitation any Addition. Tenant shall only be permitted to mortgage Tenant's interest under this Lease, which such mortgage shall in no manner alter the terms and conditions of this Lease, nor impact Landlord's rights as the owner of the Premises. In no event shall the Landlord's fee simple title in the Land, Building or the Premises or any of the structures, improvements, fixtures or any other portion of the Premises, including without limitation any Addition, be encumbered by any such leasehold mortgage. In the event Tenant desires to obtain a leasehold mortgage, Tenant shall present and Landlord shall have the right to review and approve of any leasehold mortgage and any other documents to be recorded in relation to such leasehold mortgage prior to their record to confirm that such documents do not encumber Landlord's fee simple title in the Land, Building or the Premises. Landlord agrees, upon the request of a leasehold mortgagee, to provide to such leasehold mortgagee a copy of all notices of default made by Landlord upon Tenant under this Lease, to permit such leasehold mortgagee an opportunity to cure any such defaults, which in no event shall exceed sixty (60) business days and to recognize such mortgagee or any purchaser of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises in foreclosure as the tenant under this Lease, provided that such mortgagee or purchaser in foreclosure complies with each and every term and provision of this Lease and that all outstanding obligations of the Tenant have been paid in full. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including attorneys fees, to review such documents.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
Landlord’s Consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.3 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested; or
14.2.4 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease. If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
Assignment and Subletting by Tenant Tenant may not assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall remain primarily liable and responsible under this Lease in the event of any such assignment or sublease and shall not be released from its obligations hereunder nor shall the guaranty of the Lease by Air Industries Group be terminated or released. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises without notification to and consent by Landlord shall not be effective as to Landlord and Landlord shall not be bound thereby. Tenant agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment if:
(a) The proposed assignee (“Proposed Assignee”) refuses to provide Landlord with financial statements covering a period of at least 12 months ending no earlier than six months and no later than three months prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment;
(b) The Proposed Assignee shall not agree in writing to assume all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of assignment;
(c) Tenant or Proposed Assignee shall fail to pay to Landlord a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred ($1,500.00) Dollars (increased by 2% each year commencing 1/1/17) in connection with the proposed sublet or assignment of this lease;
(d) Tenant shall fail to furnish Landlord with a true and correct copy of the sublease or assignment and assumption not less than thirty (30) days prior to execution for Landlord’s review and approval and a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment and assumption of this Lease, as applicable, within ten (10) days after the date of the execution of same;
(e) The Proposed Assignee is not solvent or is generally held in disrepute;
(f) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation or other entity which is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Guarantor.
(g) Without consent of Landlord Tenant may assign this Lease or the holders of the equity interests of Tenant may sell or assign such interests to a third party which acquires all or substantially all of the business then being conducted by Tenant at the Premises.
(h) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may sell or transfer a minority of its equity interests or otherwise assign or sublease to an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or its parent company; up to forty-nine percent (49%) of the Premises, or transfer equity interests in connection with going public.
(i) Under no circumstances shall Tenant or Guarantor be released from any liability under this Lease or Guaranty.
Landlord’s Right To Mortgage Tenant agrees to accept the premises subject to and subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or other lien, and Landlord reserves the right to subject premises to same. Tenant agrees to and hereby irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney for Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and delivering in the name of the Tenant any document(s) related to the Landlord’s right to subject the premises to a mortgage or other lien.
Landlord’s Consent Required Except for a Permitted Transfer, as defined below, Tenant shall not transfer any part of the Premises or of its interest in this Lease to any other entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, license, transfer, operation of law (including, without limitation by merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or otherwise) or act of Tenant (each a “Transfer” ) without Landlord’s prior written consent as provided in Section 13.02 below. Consent to one Transfer does not imply consent to any other Transfer or waive the consent requirement. Any attempted Transfer without consent shall be void at the election of Landlord. Any entity to which a Transfer is made is a “Transferee.” The following transactions (any of them, a “Permitted Transfer”) shall not require the consent of Landlord provided that Landlord shall receive prior notice thereof plus reasonable evidence upon closing that the transaction is in fact one of the following (and provided further that the proposed Transfer complies with all other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, this Article 13 (other than the first paragraph of this Section 13.01), does not alter Landlord’s rights under this Lease, and does not impose any additional obligation on Landlord):
(a) Any Transfer to an entity acquiring all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, whether by way of merger, consolidation, acquisition or otherwise (any such entity, a “Successor Entity”), so long as the resulting tenant under the Lease has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater; or
(b) Any Transfer to an entity directly or indirectly controlled, controlling, or under common control with Tenant (any such entity, a “Related Entity”) so long as in the case of an assignment either the original Tenant or the assignee has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater. For purposes of this clause (b), “control” shall mean possession of more than 50 percent ownership of the shares of beneficial interest of the entity in question together with the power to control and manage the affairs thereof either directly or by election of directors and/or officers. For purposes of this Section 13.01, “substantially all” of Tenant’s assets shall include without limitation the transfer of assets having a value of more than 75% of the total value, as opposed to number, of Tenant’s assets other than (i) by license of the right to use pharmaceutical products developed by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, or (ii) in an arm’s length transaction in which Tenant obtains market value for such assets and the consideration paid to Tenant is retained by Tenant and available to pay amounts due under the Lease as they become due, and/or otherwise used by Tenant in the ordinary course of business (i.e., such consideration is not distributed to stockholders or otherwise transferred to another party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as Tenant’s shares are traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, any sale of Tenant’s shares shall not be deemed a Transfer subject to the provisions of this Article 13. Tenant acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 13.01 are material to the transaction contained herein and that Landlord shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law, the right to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance in order to enforce such covenants.
Condition of Leased Premises Tenant hereby acknowledges that Xxxxxx has examined the leased premises prior to the signing of this Lease, or knowingly waived said examination. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has not relied on any representations made by Landlord or Landlord’s agents regarding the condition of the leased premises and that Tenant takes premises in its AS-IS condition with no express or implied warranties or representations beyond those contained herein or required by applicable Georgia law. Xxxxxx agrees not to damage the premises through any act or omission, and to be responsible for any damages sustained through the acts or omissions of Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family or Xxxxxx’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests. If such damages are incurred, Tenant is required to pay for any resulting repairs at the same time and in addition to the next month’s rent payment, with consequences for non-payment identical to those for non- payment of rent described herein. At the expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall return the leased premises in as good condition as when taken by Tenant at the commencement of the lease, with only normal wear-and-tear excepted. Any modification of this lease shall not be binding upon Landlord unless in writing and signed by Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent. No oral representation shall be effective to modify this Lease. If, as per the terms of this paragraph, any provision of this lease is newly added, modified, or stricken out, the remainder of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
Surrender of Leased Premises 26.1 Tenant shall, at least ninety (90) days before the last day of the term hereof, give to Landlord a written notice of intention to surrender the leased premises on that date, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the term hereof or as consent of Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. At the end of the term or any renewal thereof or other sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant will peaceably deliver up to the Landlords possession of the leased premises, together with all improvements or additions upon or belonging to the same, by whosoever made, in substantially the same condition as received, or first installed, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements alone excepted. Tenant may, upon the termination of this Lease, remove, at Tenants sole cost, all trade fixtures installed by Tenant, title to which shall be in Tenant until such termination, repairing any damage to the leased caused by such removal. Any of Tenants personal property and trade fixtures not removed by Tenant at the end of the term or other sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by the Tenant if Landlord so elects, and Landlord shall remove, store and disposing of Tenants abandoned personal property and trade fixtures. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the leased premises, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding Tenant founded on such delay.
Construction of Lease This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in preparing it.
