Real Estate Leases (a) Neither BGH Holdings nor BRH Holdings leases any real estate. Seller does not own or lease any real estate used in connection with the businesses of BGH Holdings, BRH Holdings, or the Companies.
(b) Schedule 4.16 sets forth a list of all of the leases or rights of occupancy pursuant to which the Companies (or any of them) lease or sublease any real property or interest therein (collectively, the "Leases"), including the identification of each of the Lessors thereof and the street addresses of the real estate demised under any of the Leases (collectively, the "Leased Real Estate"). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, one or more of the Companies is the lessee under all Leases, and no party other than one or more of the Companies has any right to possession, occupancy or use of any of the Leased Real Estate. A true and correct copy of each of the Leases has been delivered to Buyer, together with all amendments and modifications thereto, and no changes, amendments or modifications have been made thereto since the date of such delivery, except as permitted by Section 3.02 (k). Each of the Leases is valid and is in full force and effect and is binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equitable principles. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, none of the Companies is in default (after expiration of applicable cure or grace periods) under any provision of any of the Leases, the failure of which to perform would permit the lessor thereunder to terminate such Lease, and, to Seller's knowledge, no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would render any of the Companies in default under any of such provisions which default would permit the lessor thereunder to terminate such Lease. To the knowledge of Seller, BRH Holdings, BGH Holdings, or the Companies, no other party to any of the Leases is in default under any of the material commitments and obligations thereof, and no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would render any such other party in default under any of such provisions.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the Companies are in actual possession of the Leased Real Estate. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the Companies have good and valid title to all the leasehold estates conveyed under the Leases free and clear of all Liens except for (i) (A) those provided under the relevant lease; (B) matters shown on Schedule 4.16; and (C) defects of title, conditions, easements, covenants or restrictions, if any, none of which items referred to clauses (A), (B) or (C) above is substantial in amount, and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially impairs or grants or evidences rights which, if exercised, would materially impair the current use of the affected property in the manner such property is currently being used by the Companies, or impairs the operations of any of the Companies; (ii) zoning or land use ordinances, none of which, to Seller's knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially impairs the use of the affected property in the manner such property is currently being used, or impairs the current operations of any of the Companies; and (iii) liens for taxes not yet due and payable (iv) any mortgage liens granted by any lessor under any of the Leases of the lessor's interest in the underlying real estate or the Leases. To Seller's knowledge, none of the Companies has received written notice of any violation of or non-conformity with any zoning, subdivision, wetlands or other similar law, code, rule, regulation or ordinance from any governmental authority with respect to any of the Leased Real Estate, or of any condemnation action, eminent domain proceeding or other litigation concerning any of such properties.
(d) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the basic rent, all additional rent and all other charges and amounts payable under the Leases have been paid to date and not more than one month in advance. All work required to be performed under the Leases by the landlords thereunder or by any of the Companies have been performed, and, to the extent that any of the Companies is responsible for payment of such work, has been fully paid for, whether directly to the contractor performing such work or to such landlord as reimbursement therefor, except for items which any of the Companies is disputing in good faith (which items are set forth in Schedule 4.16).
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, there are no brokerage commissions or finder's fees due from Seller or any of the Companies which are unpaid with regard to any of the Leases or the Leased Real Estate or which will become due at any time in the future with regard to the Leases or the Leased Real Estate.
(f) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, there have been no casualties which are reasonably likely to result in the termination of any of the Leases or the exercise of any buy-out provision contained in any of the Leases relative to damage by casualty.
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, (i) no consent of any of the lessors under any of the Leases is required by reason of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) none of the rights of any of the Companies under any of the Leases will be impaired by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all of such rights will be enforceable by the Companies after the Closing Date without the consent or agreement of any other party, including all rights to purchase any of the Leased Real Estate or to renew any of the Leases pursuant to options to purchase or renew contained in any of the Leases. Any lessor under any of the Leases whose consent or agreement is required is identified as such on Schedule 4.16.
Ground Leases For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner. With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:
Pledge, Mortgage or Charge as Collateral for a Loan
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.
Lease Estoppels With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, the Mortgage Loan Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from the Mortgage Loan Seller’s underwriting). With respect to each Mortgage Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, the Mortgage Loan Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan (or such longer period as Mortgage Loan Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization), and to Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.
Operating Lease (i) Each Borrower shall (a) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Operating Leases and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (b) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Operating Lease of which it is aware; (c) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice under any Operating Lease delivered to any Operating Lessee by Borrower; (d) promptly give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that an Operating Lessee is terminating its Operating Lease or that any Operating Lessee is otherwise discontinuing its operation of the applicable Individual Property; and (e) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the Operating Lessee under the applicable Operating Lease.
(ii) If at any time, (A) an Operating Lessee shall become insolvent or a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding or (B) Lender or its designee has taken title to an Individual Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, has become a mortgagee-in-possession, has appointed a receiver with respect to the applicable Individual Property or has otherwise taken title to such Individual Property, Lender shall have the absolute right to (and Borrower and Operating Lessee shall reasonably cooperate and not in any way hinder, delay or otherwise interfere with Lender’s right to), immediately terminate the applicable Operating Lease under and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subordination, Attornment and Security Agreement.
(iii) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) surrender, terminate or cancel any Operating Lease or otherwise replace any Operating Lessee or enter into any other operating lease with respect to any Individual Property, provided, however, at the end of the term of each Operating Lease, the applicable Borrower may renew such Operating Lease or enter into a replacement Operating Lease with Operating Lessee on substantially the same terms as the expiring Operating Lease except that Lender shall have the right to approve any material change thereto; (b) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any Operating Lease; or (c) enter into, renew, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, reduce Rents under, or shorten the term of any Operating Lease.
Property Mortgaged Borrower does hereby irrevocably mortgage, grant, bargain, sell, pledge, assign, warrant, transfer and convey to Lender, and grant a security interest to Lender in, the following property, rights, interests and estates now owned, or hereafter acquired by Borrower (collectively, the "Property"):

(ii) Each Space Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower or, the Operating Tenant, as applicable, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, is enforceable against the tenant thereof. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would exist, which would, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) To Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant under any Major Space Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the Rents under such Major Space Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised.
