Termination or Abandonment Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after any approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of the Company:
No Termination or Abatement Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting any Person or any Governmental Authority, or any action with respect to this Lease or any Operative Agreement which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of any Person or any Governmental Authority or by any court with respect to any Person, or any Governmental Authority. Lessee hereby waives all right (a) to terminate or surrender this Lease (except as permitted under the terms of the Operative Agreements) or (b) to avail itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent. Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and Lessee hereby waives any and all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
Operation of the Property Between June 1, 1998 and the Closing Date, Seller shall (a) lease, operate, manage and enter into contracts with respect to the Property, in the same manner done by Seller prior to the date hereof (provided, however, that without the prior consent of Purchaser, which as to (i) and (ii) shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, (i) Seller shall not enter into any Service Contract that cannot be terminated with thirty (30) days notice or materially modify any existing Service Contracts to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing, and (ii) after June 1, 1998, Seller shall not materially modify or terminate any existing Tenant Lease or grant any material consents under any existing Tenant Lease (except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Tenant Lease), or enter into any new Tenant Lease, and (iii) Seller shall not apply any then unapplied Deposits (as reflected on the Rent Roll delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Schedule 5.3(vii) hereof) under Tenant Leases); and (b) advise Purchaser of the commencement of any litigation, condemnation or other judicial or administrative proceedings affecting the Property of which Seller has current actual knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Contract, Purchaser acknowledges that after June 1, 1998 and prior to Closing, Seller will enter into contracts for the completion of Tenant improvements under Tenant Leases entered into after June 1, 1998 pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 hereof (collectively, the "Tenant Finish Contracts"). Purchaser and Seller agree that at Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligations of Seller under all such Tenant Finish Contracts including, without limitation, the obligations to pay any costs and expenses charged with respect to construction of improvements in the space subject to such Tenant Leases. At Closing, Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Seller an Assignment, Assumption and Indemnity Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and made a part hereof for all purposes.
CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN (A) If the whole of the Leased Premises are taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the date possession is surrendered, and Rent shall be paid up to that day. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken as to render the remainder thereof materially unusable in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator reasonably approved by Lessor and Lessee, for the purposes for which the Leased Premises were leased, then Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days notice to the other given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. In the event that this Lease shall terminate or be terminated, the Rent shall, if and as necessary, be paid up to the day that possession was surrendered.
Damage Destruction or Condemnation If, after the Effective Date and before the Closing, all or any part of the Property is destroyed or damaged (a “Casualty”), or becomes subject to condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof in writing (a “Seller’s Notice”). If the damage or taking is material (as defined below), Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice thereof to Seller at any time prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of a Seller’s Notice, time being of the essence and receive a refund of the entire Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof. If the damage or taking is not material, or if, in the case that the damage or taking is material, either Purchaser elects in writing to proceed with Closing or Seller does not receive written notice from Purchaser of Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement at any time on or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after Seller’s delivery of a Seller’s Notice, then the parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price (except only for a credit in the amount of the deductible (if any) applicable to the claim for such damage or destruction); provided, however, that in such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds to which Seller may actually collect, less Seller’s costs of collection and any costs actually incurred by Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs to the extent the foregoing are performed in a good and workmanlike manner (collectively, “Seller’s Costs”) or all condemnation awards payable to Seller as a result of such damage or taking (as the case may be), less Seller’s Costs, if applicable, and, to the extent the same are applicable, Seller shall either (a) assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights to any such condemnation or eminent domain awards and pay to Purchaser at Closing any such awards already received (not exceeding the amount of the Purchase Price), less Seller’s Costs, as applicable, or (b) assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s rights to the insurance proceeds associated with the damage or destruction at issue and, as applicable, pay to Purchaser at Closing any such proceeds already received not to exceed the amount of the Purchase Price, and less any costs, fees and expenses reasonably expended by Seller prior to Closing towards the repair of the damage or destruction at issue; and/or file a claim for the applicable damages under any available insurance policies, use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and settle such claim in substantially the same manner that Seller would have done so for its own account, and promptly pay over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that Seller actually collects in respect thereof, less Seller’s Costs. In any event, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be required to file, maintain or participate in any suit, proceeding or action against any of its insurers, nor shall Seller be required to provide Purchaser access to, or a copy of, any portion of its casualty or other insurance policies except only as reasonably necessary in connection with a claim under such policy. For the purposes of this Section 7, damage or other casualty shall be considered to be “material” if the estimated cost to repair or restore the Property exceeds $500,000. A condemnation or other taking, shall be considered “material” if (i) the estimated cost to repair or restore the Improvements to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such taking exceeds $500,000; (ii) the taking (after accounting for repairs and restoration to be completed by Purchaser with the awards paid to Purchaser) will have a material, adverse effect on the value, marketability, ownership and/or operation of the Property (in the manner owned and operated immediately prior to the taking); (iii) it prohibits, as a matter of applicable law, the rebuilding or repair of the number of parking spaces or Improvements substantially as they currently exist; or (iv) it materially alters or limits access to the Property from a publicly-dedicated street. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7, then upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser, this Agreement shall become null and void, the entire Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code, shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 7, in the event that a Casualty shall occur with respect to the Property, and all or a portion of the losses resulting therefrom (but not including any deductibles) are not covered by the property or casualty insurance maintained by Seller with respect to the Property or if Seller is unable to assign its claim to such insured casualty, then, within ten (10) days after Seller gains knowledge of such Casualty, Seller shall notify Purchaser that: (i) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the reasonable estimated costs for the repair or restoration of the affected Property by such Casualty, (ii) that Seller has elected to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of such Casualty, or (iii) that Seller has elected to provide Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of such Casualty, regardless of materiality. In the event that Seller fails to provide any such notice within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that Seller proceeds in accordance with clause (i) above, then the parties shall proceed to Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and Seller shall provide Purchaser with the applicable credit against the Purchase Price. In the event that Seller elects to proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above, then the Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be refunded to Purchaser and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. In the event that Seller elects to proceed in accordance with clause (iii) above, then Purchaser shall have the right, within ten (10) days after the date on which Seller notifies Purchaser of such election, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be refunded to Purchaser and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (y) proceed to Closing without any credit against or deduction from the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to provide any such notice within such ten
Damage or Destruction of Premises If the Premises, the Unit or the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “casualty”), or ordered to be demolished by the action of any public authority in consequence of a casualty, or taken by any exercise of the right of eminent domain, Tenant shall immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. Unless this Lease is terminated as provided herein, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall proceed (or shall cause the Primary Board to proceed) with diligence to repair or cause to be repaired such damage so as to restore the Premises, the Building and access thereto, or what may remain thereof (including the Initial Tenant Work but excluding any other Tenant Work), as nearly as practicable to the condition they were in immediately prior to such damage, destruction or taking, subject to then applicable Legal Requirements and Title Matters, but neither Landlord nor the Primary Board shall be required to expend in such repair or rebuilding more than the proceeds of insurance or award of damages, if any, recovered or recoverable with respect to such damage, destruction or taking (plus, in the case of casualty, the amount of any insurance deductibles (which shall be deemed Operating Costs)), less Landlord’s (or the Primary Board’s) reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such proceeds or award, as the case may be, but in the case of damage or destruction only to the extent Landlord was carrying the insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Lease at the time of such damage or destruction. All such repairs made necessary by any negligent act or omission or any willful misconduct of Tenant shall be made by Landlord (or the Primary Board) at Tenant’s expense to the extent that the cost of such repairs is not covered by insurance proceeds available therefor (including the payment by Tenant of any applicable deductible amount). Landlord shall not be liable for delays in the making of any such repairs that are due to Force Majeure, nor shall Landlord be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing such damage. All repairs to and replacements of Tenant Property and any Tenant Work other than the Initial Tenant Work shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant, which work Tenant shall promptly commence as soon as practicable and thereafter prosecute diligently to completion.
Condition of the Premises Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Property, or with respect to the suitability of the Premises, the Building or the Property for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to pay for or construct any improvements to the Premises except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease or in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that (a) upon the Commencement Date, the Building and the Premises will be in material compliance with all Applicable Laws (in each case, without regard for any of the Finish Work, Tenant’s particular use (as opposed to the Permitted Use, generally), or the obligations of any other tenants in the Building with respect to their tenant improvements); (b) Landlord has full power and authority to enter into this Lease and has obtained all consents and taken all actions necessary in connection therewith other than to the extent provided in Section 14.6, below; and (c) upon the Commencement Date, the Building systems provided by Landlord and serving the Premises including electrical, HVAC, plumbing and other utility systems shall be in good working order and condition. Subject to the foregoing and Landlord’s obligation to repair latent defects in the Base Building Work as expressly provided in Section 1.1 of Exhibit 3.1, Tenant’s execution of this Lease and taking of possession of the Premises shall conclusively establish that the Premises, the Building and the Property were at such time in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and repair; provided, nothing in this sentence relieves Landlord of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, below.
Sale of the Property To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any and all right to have the Property marshalled. In exercising its rights and remedies, Lender shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property.
Abandonment Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the term of this Lease and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord.
Right to Release Any Portion of the Property Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
