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:
New Leases Continue its present rental program and efforts at such Seller’s Property to rent vacant space in accordance with past practices; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Buyer’s sole discretion, such Seller shall not (i) execute any new lease, license or other occupancy agreement, (ii) amend, supplement, terminate, accept the surrender of, renew or otherwise modify any existing Lease, (iii) approve any assignment or sublease of any existing Lease, or (iv) waive any right or obligation thereunder; provided, however, that, in the case of any amendment, supplement, termination, surrender, renewal or modification of any existing Lease as set forth in clause (ii) above, if such existing Lease expressly and specifically sets forth the terms of any such amendment, supplement, termination, surrender, renewal or modification and requires the landlord under the Lease to acknowledge or counter-sign the same, in which case, the Buyer’s consent shall not be required, but Seller shall provide the Buyer with written notice of (and to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification modifies the rental terms of such Lease which rental amount is not specifically stated in such Lease, the Buyer shall have an opportunity to review and comment upon) such amendment, supplement, termination, surrender, renewal or modification at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of execution. If such Seller enters into any new lease, license or other occupancy agreement, or renews any existing Lease (each such new lease, license, occupancy agreement and renewal, a “New Lease”) after the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.2(d), then each such lease, license, occupancy agreement and renewal shall be included in the definition of “Leases” herein and added to Schedule 3.2(c) attached hereto, shall be assigned to and assumed by the Buyer at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement. If the Buyer does not reject or approve a new lease, license, occupancy agreement, renewal or a Lease amendment within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a copy thereof, then the Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such new lease, license, occupancy agreement, renewal or Lease amendment; provided that such notice includes specific reference to this Section 3.3(d) and the deemed approval provision hereof.
Operating Leases Incur any obligation to pay rent under an operating lease in any Fiscal Year if to do so would result in the aggregate obligation of Borrower and its Subsidiaries to pay rent under all operating leases in that Fiscal Year to exceed $4,000,000.
Real Estate Leases The Company Disclosure Statement sets forth a list of (a) all leases and subleases under which the Company or the Subsidiaries is lessor or lessee of any real property together with all amendments, supplements, nondisturbance agreements and other agreements pertaining thereto; (b) all options held by the Company or the Subsidiaries or contractual obligations on the part of the Company or the Subsidiaries to purchase or acquire any interest in real property; and (c) all options granted by the Company or the Subsidiaries or contractual obligations on the part of the Company or the Subsidiaries to sell or dispose of any interest in real property. Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Statement, as to such leases, subleases and other agreements referred to above, (i) there exists no breach or default, and no event has occurred which with notice or passage of time would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, notification or acceleration, on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary, or on the part of any other party thereto, and (ii) as of the Effective Time, no material third party consent, approval or authorization shall be required for the consummation of the Merger. To the Company's knowledge, there are no Liens on any of the leasehold interests set forth on the Company Disclosure Statement hereof except for (i) Liens reflected in the balance sheet included in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1996, (ii) Liens of record consisting of zoning or planning restrictions, easements, permits and other restrictions or limitations on the use of real property which do not materially detract from the value of, or materially impair the use of, such property by the Company or the Subsidiaries in the operation of their respective businesses, (iii) Liens for current Taxes (as defined in Section 3.22(a)), assessments or governmental charges or levies on property not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP (which contested levies are described on the Company Disclosure Statement), and (iv) Liens imposed by law, such as materialman's, mechanic's, carrier's, workers' and repairmen's Liens securing obligations not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or securing obligations not being paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with customary and commercially reasonable practice. (collectively, "Permitted Liens").
Ground Lease (a) Each Ground Lease contains the entire agreement of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor and the applicable owner of the fee interest in such Unencumbered Property (the “Fee Owner”), pertaining to the Unencumbered Property covered thereby. With respect to Unencumbered Property subject to a Ground Lease, the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors have no estate, right, title or interest in or to the Unencumbered Property except under and pursuant to the Ground Lease or except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Agent. The Borrower has delivered a true and correct copy of the Ground Lease to the Agent and the Ground Lease has not been modified, amended or assigned, with the exception of written instruments that have been recorded in the applicable real estate records for such Unencumbered Property.
(b) The applicable Fee Owner is the exclusive fee simple owner of the Unencumbered Property, subject only to the Ground Lease and all Liens and other matters disclosed in the applicable title policy for such Unencumbered Property subject to the Ground Lease, and the applicable Fee Owner is the sole owner of the lessor’s interest in the Ground Lease.
(c) There are no rights to terminate the Ground Lease other than the applicable Fee Owner’s right to terminate by reason of default, casualty, condemnation or other reasons, in each case as expressly set forth in the Ground Lease.
(d) Each Ground Lease is in full force and effect and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no breach or default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default under any Ground Lease (a “Ground Lease Default”) exists or has occurred on the part of a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or on the part of a Fee Owner under any Ground Lease. All base rent and additional rent, if any, due and payable under each Ground Lease has been paid through the date hereof and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is required to pay any deferred or accrued rent after the date hereof under any Ground Lease. Neither Borrower nor a Subsidiary Guarantor has received any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred or exists, or that any Fee Owner or any third party alleges the same to have occurred or exist.
(e) The Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is the exclusive owner of the ground lessee’s interest under and pursuant to each Ground Lease and has not assigned, transferred or encumbered its interest in, to, or under the Ground Lease, except to Agent under the Loan Documents.
