Consent of Landlord Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to sublet up to fifty percent (50%) of the total rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises without the necessity of obtaining Landlord's prior consent and without releasing the Tenant from liability under this Lease. Prior to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its election to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises or to assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, and shall provide Landlord current financial information and other information requested by Landlord regarding the proposed assignee or subtenant. At any time within fifteen (15) days after service of said notice and delivery of such information, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it consents or refuses to consent to the sublease or assignment. Landlord shall not have the right to recapture any sublease or assignment space. Any denial of such sublease or assignment by Landlord as hereinabove provided must be predicated upon a "commercially reasonable basis" for such denial. Tenant shall retain any profits paid in connection with a sublease or assignment in excess of Tenant's Base Rent obligations hereunder, which profits shall be calculated after deducting all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the space subject to the transfer, which shall include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and the time to sublease and remodel the Leased Premises. Any assignment or subletting shall not release Tenant of its liability under this Lease nor permit any subsequent assignment, subletting or other prohibited act, unless specifically provided in such consent. Within thirty (30) days of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide to Landlord executed copies of all assignment or subleasing documents.
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (a) If Landlord should sell or otherwise transfer Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall thereafter have no liability to Tenant under this Lease or any modification or amendment thereof or extensions or renewals thereof, except for such liabilities which might have accrued prior to the date of such sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if Landlord shall at any time be in default of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall not exercise any of its remedies for such default unless Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice thereof (but Landlord shall not be deemed in default if such default cannot reasonably be cured in thirty (30) days and Landlord commences to remedy such default within said thirty (30) day period and proceeds therewith with due diligence until completion); provided, however, if Landlord’s default has created an emergency situation requiring immediate corrective action to protect property or persons from damage or injury, Tenant shall be permitted to take reasonable corrective action at Landlord’s expense prior to such notice provided Tenant has used reasonable efforts to give Landlord verbal notice and Landlord has not promptly responded.
(c) If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed or if Landlord shall be liable to Tenant in any way arising out of this Lease, or pursuant to statute, law, ordinance or regulation, or under the common law, and, as a consequence, if Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Land and the proceeds thereof. If Landlord is an individual, a trustee of a trust or a partnership, Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall not be binding upon, nor shall there be any personal liability by, Landlord individually, the trustees of said trust, the beneficiaries of said trust, the partnership, or the partners of the partnership.
COVENANTS OF LANDLORD 22.1 Landlord represents and covenants that it has the right to make this Lease for the term aforesaid, and Landlord covenants that Tenant shall, during the term hereby created, freely, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without disturbance, molestation or hindrance by any person or entity whatever claiming an interest in the Premises prior or superior to Tenant's. Nothing in this Section 22.1, however, shall prevent Landlord from exercising any remedy available to it on account of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge and agree that Tenant's leasehold estate in and to the Premises vests on the date this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding that the Lease Term will not commence until a future date.
22.2 Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its successors and assigns the following rights (all of which are hereby consented to by Tenant): (i) if imposed by Legal Requirements in Landlord's reasonable judgment after consultation with Tenant, if Tenant and/or its Affiliates are the lessees of more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Premises, to change the street address and/or the arrangement and/or location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building; and (ii) subject to compliance with Landlord's obligations pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 11.1, if imposed by Legal Requirements or if necessary for the proper functioning of the Premises after consultation with Tenant, if Tenant and/or its Affiliates are the lessees of more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Premises, to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Premises; and (iii) to establish and maintain field offices in the Building for site engineers, property management and maintenance personnel comprising, in the aggregate, approximately 600 rentable square feet; and in number and locations that are typical for Class A suburban office buildings in the Market Area provided that, subject to the foregoing standards, Tenant shall have approval rights over the particular size and locations of such facilities, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Provided Landlord acts reasonably and diligently and in a manner not likely to materially, adversely affect Tenant's continuing and reasonably uninterrupted business functions, Landlord may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance or interruption of the business of Tenant or of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises and without diminishing the rent payable hereunder.
No Recourse Against Others A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.
GUARANTY OF LEASE THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (“Guaranty”) is entered into as of July 5, 2019, by Ascend Wellness Holdings, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of LCR 1014 EASTPORT PLAZA, LLC (“Lessor”), with reference to the following facts: Lessor and HealthCentral Illinois Holdings, LLC (“Lessee”), have entered or will enter into a lease of even date herewith (the “Lease”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Lease. By its covenants herein set forth, Guarantor has induced Lessor to enter into the Lease, which was made and entered into in consideration for Guarantor’s said covenants. Subject to the terms set forth herein, Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, without deduction by reason of setoff, defense or counterclaim, to Lessor and its successors and assigns the full and punctual payment (and not merely the collectability), performance and observance by Lessee, of all of the amounts, terms, covenants and conditions in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be paid, kept, performed and observed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the scope of Guarantor’s obligations exceed Lessee’s obligations under the Lease except to the extent Lessee is relieved of any such obligation by reason of any bankruptcy or other like filing or order. If Lessee shall at any time default in the punctual payment, performance and observance of any of the amounts, terms, covenants or conditions in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be paid, kept, performed and observed (after applicable notice and cure period), Guarantor will pay, keep, perform and observe same, as the case may be, in the place and stead of Lessee. Guarantor shall also pay to Lessor all reasonable and necessary incidental damages and expenses incurred by Lessor as a direct and proximate result of Lessee’s failure to perform, which expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest on all sums due and owing Lessor by reason of Lessee’s failure to pay same, at the maximum rate allowed by law. Any act of Lessor, or its successors or assigns, consisting of a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, the giving of any consent to any matter or thing relating to the Lease, or the granting of any indulgence or extension of time to Lessee may be done without notice to Guarantor and without releasing Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by Lessor’s receipt, application or release of any security given for the performance and observance of any covenant or condition in the Lease contained on Lessee’s part to be performed or observed, nor by any modification of the Lease, regardless of whether Guarantor consents thereto or receives notice thereof. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by: (a) the release or discharge of Lessee in any creditor’s, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceeding; (b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Lessee or the estate of Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Lessee’s liability under the Lease resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other statutes or from the decision of any court; (c) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings; (d) the assignment or transfer of the Lease by Lessee; (e) any disability or other defense of Lessee; (f) the cessation from any cause whatever of the liability of Lessee; (g) the exercise by Lessor of any of its rights or remedies reserved under the Lease or by law; or (h) any termination of the Lease. If Lessee shall become insolvent or be adjudicated bankrupt, whether by voluntary or involuntary petition, if any bankruptcy action involving Lessee shall be commenced or filed, if a petition for reorganization, arrangement or similar relief shall be filed against Lessee, or if a receiver of any part of Lessee’s property or assets shall be appointed by any court, Guarantor shall pay to Lessor the amount of all accrued, unpaid and accruing rent and other charges due under the Lease and all principal and interest and other charges under to the date when the debtor-in- possession, the trustee or administrator accepts the Lease and commences paying same. At the option of Lessor, Guarantor shall either: (a) pay Lessor an amount equal to the rent and other charges which would have been payable for the unexpired portion of the Lease term reduced to present-day value; or (b) execute and deliver to Lessor a new lease for the balance of the Lease term with the same terms and conditions as the Lease, but with Guarantor as Lessee thereunder. Any operation of any present or future debtor’s relief act or similar act, or law or decision of any court, shall in no way affect the obligations of Guarantor or Lessee to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Guaranty. Guarantor may be joined in any action against Lessee in connection with the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and recovery may be had against Guarantor in any such action. Lessor may enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder without first taking any action whatever against Lessee or its successors and assigns, or pursuing any other remedy or applying any security it may hold. Until all of the covenants and conditions in the Lease on Lessee’s part to be performed and observed are fully performed and observed, Guarantor: (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee by reason of any payment or performance by Guarantor hereunder; and (b) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease. This Guaranty shall apply to the Lease, any extension, renewal, modification or amendment thereof, to any assignment, subletting or other tenancy thereunder and to any holdover term following the Lease term granted under the Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, in the event Lessee assigns the Lease or subleases the Premises in accordance with the provisions of the Lease to a third party which is not an entity controlling or controlled by or under common control with Lessee or Guarantor (a “Third Party Assignee”) then (a) the undersigned shall not be responsible for any incremental increase in Rent or other obligation under the Lease or for or during any extension of the Lease term resulting from an amendment to the Lease between Lessor and such Third Party Assignee which provides for an increase in Rent or other obligation due under the Lease or an extension of the Lease term or for any exercise of any option to extend the Lease term which may be exercised by said Third Party Assignee, unless Guarantor shall have consented in writing to such increase in Rent or other obligation or extension of Lease term; and (b) as a condition to the undersigned’s liabilities under this Guaranty, Lessor shall be required to deliver written notice of any defaults by Lessee or the Third Party Assignee to Guarantor and Guarantor shall have the right to cure same within the time period provided in the Lease. In the event of any litigation between Guarantor and Lessor with respect to the subject matter hereof, the unsuccessful party in such litigation shall pay to the successful party all fees, costs and expenses thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. If there is more than one undersigned Guarantor, (a) the term “Guarantor”, as used herein, shall include all of the undersigned; (b) each provision of this Guaranty shall be binding on each one of the undersigned, who shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder; and (c) Lessor shall have the right to join one or all of them in any proceeding or to proceed against them in any order. Within fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s written request (which requests may not be made more than once per calendar year), Guarantor shall furnish Lessor with financial statements or other reasonable financial information reflecting Guarantor’s current financial condition, certified by Guarantor or its financial officer. If Guarantor is a publicly-traded corporation, delivery of Guarantor’s last published financial information shall be satisfactory for purposes of this Paragraph. This instrument constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral and written agreements and understandings with respect thereto. It may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Lessor. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. Every notice, demand or request (collectively “Notice”) required hereunder or by law to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing. Notices shall be given by personal service or by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telegram, mailgram or same-day or overnight private courier, addressed to the party to be served at the address indicated below or such other address as the party to be served may from time to time designate in a Notice to the other party. Any action to declare or enforce any right or obligation under the Lease may be commenced by Lessor in the state courts of the State of Illinois. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such Court for such purposes. Any notice, complaint or legal process so delivered shall constitute adequate notice and service of process for all purposes and shall subject Guarantor to the jurisdiction of such Court for purposes of adjudicating any matter related to this Guaranty. Lessor and Guarantor hereby waive their respective rights to trial by jury of any cause of action, claim, counterclaim or cross-complaint in any action, proceeding and/or hearing brought by either Lessor against Guarantor or Guarantor against Lessor on any matter whatever arising out of, or in any way connected with, the Lease, or this Guaranty. This Guaranty may be assigned in whole or part by Lessor upon written notice to Guarantor, but it may not be assigned by Guarantor without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. The terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
Remedies of Landlord Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (as well as any other remedies provided by law or equity) without any notice or demand whatsoever:
10.2.1 Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and without relieving Tenant of its obligation to make the payments of Rent herein reserved, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein, and change or alter the locks and other security devices, without notice to Tenant and relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, at any rental readily obtainable, and receive the rent therefor. Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish a new key to Tenant unless and until tenant cures all existing defaults and delivers to Landlord additional security satisfactory to Landlord to secure Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the expenses of such reletting (as described in Paragraph 10.2.2 hereof), and any deficiency which may arise by reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any excess obtained by Landlord in reletting over the Rent. Landlord can bring separate actions from time to time against Tenant to collect rent due and owing.
10.2.2 Terminate this Lease forthwith. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein. In the event of the termination of this Lease as provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the expenses of such reletting (including all repairs, tenant finish, improvements, brokers' and attorneys' fees and all loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of such re-entry and reletting) plus an amount equal to the difference between the Rent provided for herein and the amount of Rent received by Landlord from the subsequent reletting of the Premises, for the period which would otherwise constitute the balance of the Term, which amount shall be considered accelerated and immediately due and payable, (discounted at the prime rate then in effect) per year) in full by Tenant to Landlord.
10.2.3 Cure any default of Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord until the date of reimbursement by Tenant.
Amendment of Lease This lease may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
Release of Landlord If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall sell its interest in the Building or Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises, then from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance, Landlord shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease, except those already accrued.
No Recourse Each Certificateholder by accepting a Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder's Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Paying Agent or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Trust Agreement, the Certificates or the Basic Documents.
Waiver of Landlord’s Lien To the extent permitted by Law, Lessor hereby expressly waives any and all liens (constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) upon Lessee’s personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in or on the Leased Premises, which otherwise might exist to secure payment of the sums herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor.
