Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment In the event that Landlord places any Facility Mortgage on the Leased Property, Tenant agrees to promptly enter into, execute and deliver to the requesting party a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any such Facility Mortgagee, which shall acknowledge that this Lease, Tenant's interest hereunder and Tenant's leasehold interest in and to the Leased Property are junior, inferior, subordinate and subject in right, title, interest, lien, encumbrance, priority and all other respects to the lien of any Facility Mortgage or Mortgages now or hereafter in force and effect upon or encumbering Landlord's interest in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and to all collateral assignments by Landlord to any third party or parties of any of Landlord's rights under this Lease or the rents, issues and profits thereof or therefrom as security for any liability or indebtedness, direct, indirect or contingent, of Landlord to such third party or parties, and to all future modifications, extensions, renewals, consolidations and replacements of, and all amendments and supplements to any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments; provided such lender agrees not to disturb Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Property or its rights under this Lease as long as there is no existing and continuing Event of Default. If, within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's receipt of a written request by Landlord or the holder or proposed holder of any such Facility Mortgage, Tenant shall fail or refuse or shall have not executed any such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, Tenant shall be in breach and default of its obligation to do so and of this Lease and Landlord shall be entitled thereupon to exercise any and all remedies available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease or otherwise provided by law.
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT This Sublease ------------------------------------------------------- shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, deeds of trust, and other instruments in the nature of a mortgage, which may now or hereafter affect the Premises, the Demised Premises or the real property of which the Demised Premises form a part. Although no instrument or act on the part of Sublessee shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, Sublessee shall, when requested, promptly execute and deliver to Sublessor such written instruments as shall be necessary to show the subordination of this Sublease to said mortgages, deeds of trust, or other instruments in the nature of a mortgage. Sublessor represents that the Master Lease is in full force and effect and that Sublessor and, to Sublessor's best knowledge, Landlord have each performed all of their respective obligations set forth in the Master Lease to the date hereof. Sublessor further agrees to continue during the term of this Sublease, as it may be extended or renewed, to perform all of its obligations under the Master Lease, excepting only those obligations which are to be performed by Sublessee hereunder. Prior to the commencement of the term hereof and as a condition to the effectiveness of this Sublease, Sublessor shall deliver to Sublessee a written agreement with Landlord substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Sublessor shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement from any subsequent mortgagee of the building of which the Premises are a part who subordinates the Master Lease to its interest as provided in Section 8.2 of the Master Lease.
Nondisturbance Lender does hereby agree with Tenant that, in the event Lender becomes the fee simple owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as Tenant complies with and performs its obligations under the Lease, (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between the succeeding owner of the Property and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, for the balance of the term of the Lease, and Lender will not disturb the possession of Tenant, and (b) the Premises shall be subject to the Lease and Lender shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be: (i) subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (ii) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month or any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its written consent. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage to the extent necessary under applicable Law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.
Attornment Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent.
Subordination Attornment Non Disturbance This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Premises and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereinafter in force against the Premises and any other Premises attached to the Premises, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale if so requested to do so by such purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as the Owner under this Lease. Tenant shall within five (5) days of request by Owner execute such further instruments or assurances as Owner may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, deeds of trusts, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.
Assignment Subleasing (a) With the exception of a tenant that would render any Leased Property or a portion thereof a “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease and may sublet or grant licenses to any Leased Property in whole or in part, from time to time, without the consent of Landlord, provided that, in the case of an assignment, Lease Guarantor reaffirms its obligations under the Lease Guaranty after giving effect to such assignment. Tenant shall have no rights to mortgage or otherwise hypothecate its leasehold interest under this Lease. With respect to any assignment or sublease to an entity that is not an Affiliate of Tenant and which relates to at least 10% of the usable square feet of any Leased Property, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written summary of the material terms of such assignment or sublease prior to the commencement date thereof. For purposes of this Paragraph 17(a), the term “assignment” and “assign” shall not include any sale of the stock of Tenant, provided that (i) the Lease Guarantor reaffirms its obligations under the Lease Guaranty after giving effect to such sale and (ii) such sale does not result in an Event of Default. (b) Each sublease or license of a Leased Property or any part thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, and the term of each such sublease shall terminate on or before the Expiration Date. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made, provided that if Tenant assigns its interest hereunder to any entity that has acquired all, or substantially all, of Tenant’s assets, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment so long as (i) the assignee has executed the agreement referred to below in this paragraph and (ii) such sale or transfer of assets by Tenant does not result in an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, but subject to the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable and responsible for the payment of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and the performance of all its other obligations under this Lease. No assignment or sublease shall impose any obligations on Landlord, except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the case of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment, deliver to Landlord (i) a duplicate original of such assignment in recordable form and (ii) an agreement executed and acknowledged by Tenant and its assignee in recordable form wherein the assignee shall agree to assume and agree to observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed from and after the date of such assignment. In the case of a sublease which relates to more than 10% of the usable square feet of a Leased Property, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of such sublease, deliver to Landlord a duplicate original of such sublease; with respect to each other sublease, Tenant shall provide a copy thereof to Landlord promptly after Landlord’s request therefor. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease or license of any Leased Property, and Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns such rents and money to Landlord, which assignment may be exercised upon and after (but not before) the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided, however, that if such Event of Default is subsequently cured and this Lease has not been terminated, Landlord shall pay to Tenant all amounts it received pursuant to such assignment that have not been applied to the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
Subordination and Attornment This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that any such subordination to any Mortgage placed on the Premises after the date hereof shall not operate to terminate or defeat this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any notice and cure period. If any foreclosure proceedings are initiated by any Holder or a deed in lieu of such foreclosure is granted, Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Holder, purchaser at foreclosure sale or grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment (provided such Holder or purchaser shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any cure period hereunder). However, in the event of attornment, no Holder, purchaser at foreclosure sale or grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such party becoming Landlord under such attornment); (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent, in excess of Rent for the month in which such party becomes Landlord under such attornment, not actually received by such party; or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such party (provided that Tenant was first given notice of the existence of such Holder in the manner specified in Section 21.2 below). Any Holder may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage by giving written notice to Tenant, and if the Holder of any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage.
Governing Law; Attornment This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING A. Lessor shall have the right to sell, convey or mortgage all, but not less than all, of the Properties or to assign its right, title and interest as Lessor under this Lease in whole, but not in part; provided, however, the prohibition on Lessor's right to sell, convey or mortgage less than all of the Properties shall not restrict Lessor's right to convey Properties to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 21.B, 23.A(ix), 57 or 58 hereof. In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, provided Lessee receives written notice that such purchaser or assignee has assumed all of Lessor's obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee and Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale. B. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Properties in entering into this Lease. Without the prior written consent of Lessor and except as provided below: (i) Lessee shall not assign, transfer or convey this Lease or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) no Subject Transfer shall occur; (iii) no interest in Lessee or any of the Guarantors shall be pledged, encumbered, hypothecated or assigned as collateral for any obligation of any of the Lessee Entities; and (iv) Lessee shall not sublet all or any part of any of the Properties. It is expressly agreed that Lessor may withhold or condition such consent based upon such matters as Lessor may in its reasonable discretion determine, including, without limitation, the experience and creditworthiness of any assignee, the assumption by any assignee of all of Lessee's obligations hereunder by undertakings enforceable by Lessor, the transfer to any assignee of all necessary licenses and franchises to continue operating the Properties for the purposes herein provided, receipt of such representations and warranties from any assignee as Lessor may request, including such matters as its organization, existence, good standing and finances and other matters, whether or not similar in kind. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to Lessor's standard form of assumption agreement. No such assignment nor any subletting of any of the Properties shall relieve Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease or Guarantors of any of their obligations respecting the Guaranty. Any rentals owing under a sublease which are in excess of the rentals owing hereunder may be retained by Lessee unless an Event of Default has occurred, in which case, Lessor shall be entitled to receive such excess rentals applicable to the period during which such Event of Default is continuing. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge, mortgage or subletting in violation of this Section shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 26.B, Lessor's consent to a Subject Transfer shall not be required if each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease as of the date on which Lessee gives the Subject Transfer Notice (as hereinafter defined) and as of the date on which such Subject Transfer is consummated; (ii) after giving effect to such Subject Transfer, whether as a single transaction or as a series of transactions, the Lessee Entities, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall have a consolidated net worth determined in accordance with GAAP of not less than the sum of (1) $29,690,500.00, plus (2) fifty (50%) percent of Net Income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter of the Lessee Entities ending after the Effective Date (i.e., exclusive of any negative Net Income for any such fiscal quarter) determined on a cumulative basis subsequent to the Effective Date, plus (3) seventy-five (75%) percent of the proceeds of any issuance of equity securities of any of the Lessee Entities or other contributions to the capital of any of the Lessee Entities subsequent to the Effective Date (the "Net Worth Condition"); (iii) Lessee and Guarantors, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall not be released from any of their respective obligations under this Lease and the Guaranty, and any such surviving entity or successor entity, as applicable, has assumed in writing or by operation of law (provided Lessor has received a satisfactory opinion of counsel confirming that such assumption will occur by operation of law) all obligations of Lessee under this Lease or Guarantors under the Guaranty, as applicable; (iv) after giving effect to such Subject Transfer, whether as a single transaction or as a series of transactions, the Lessee Entities shall have a Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) determined as of the end of Lessee's most recently closed fiscal quarter on a proforma basis after giving effect to such Subject Transfer of at least equal to 1.50:1 (the "Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Condition") (v) after such Subject Transfer, the Properties will be operated as a Permitted Facility or such other nationally or regionally recognized casual dining concepts reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (vi) the Lessee Entities, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall have at least 5 years' experience operating a multi-unit casual dining restaurant concept with the same or greater number of units as are operated by the Lessee Entities immediately prior to the consummation of such Subject Transfer; (vii) if and to the extent that the loans contemplated by the Loan Documents have been subject to a Securitization, Lender shall have received a notice or confirmation of the rating agencies which have issued ratings in connection with such Securitization that such Subject Transfer will not cause any of such rating agencies to downgrade, modify, withdraw or qualify any of such ratings (the "Rating Agency Condition"); and (viii) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a certification that all of the conditions to such Subject Transfer set forth in this Section 26.C have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee is unable to satisfy the Net Worth Condition, the Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Condition and/or the Rating Agency Condition, such conditions shall be deemed satisfied if Lessee shall (1) pay to Lessor the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount (as hereinafter defined), and (2) pay to Lessor the Prepayment Charges payable by Lessor to Lender as a result of the payment of the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount. Upon Lessee's payment of the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount and Prepayment Charges as contemplated by the preceding sentence, Lessor agrees that the Base Monthly Rental beginning with the calendar month immediately following the month in which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made on the first day of a calendar month, beginning with the calendar month in which such payment is made) shall be equal to the Base Monthly Rental then in effect reduced by the Subject Transfer Rent Reduction Amount (as hereinafter defined) For purposes of this Section 26.C, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:
Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.
