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.
Tenant Estoppels (a) Each Seller shall prepare and deliver to each Tenant at such Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Tenant Estoppel”) and request each such Tenant to execute and deliver the Tenant Estoppel to such Seller. Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Tenant Estoppels in substantially the same form as Exhibit A attached hereto from each Tenant at such Seller’s Property prior to the Closing, without the obligation to make any payments or grant any concessions under the Leases. If a Tenant returns an executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease as defined below) to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Buyer, or make available on Seller’s transaction website, a copy of such executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable) following such Seller’s receipt of such Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable).
(b) In the event that the Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Initial Closing, it shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets that, on or before the Initial Closing Date, the Sellers deliver to the Buyer from Tenants (other than the GSA and the Tenants of the properties associated with the LLC Interests and the Partnership Interests (as each such term is defined in the Master PSA), unless the applicable joint venture partner elects to sell all of its interest in the applicable joint venture entity and separate agreements for the sale of such properties to the Buyer are entered into as contemplated in Section 3.9(a)(y) and Section 3.9(b)(y), respectively, of the Master PSA) whose Leases comprise at least seventy-five percent (75%) of remaining base rental income over the lease term as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with the schedule delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, signed tenant estoppel certificates that are substantially in the form of either (1) the Tenant Estoppel or (1) except with respect to ROFO Documents and ROFR Documents (for which Tenant Estoppels, and not Lease Required Estoppels, shall be required), with respect to those Leases that contain a required form of specific estoppel that is attached as an exhibit to such Lease, the form of estoppel attached to such Lease (each, a “Lease Required Estoppel”); provided, however, that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, in order to accommodate Serial Closings pursuant to the Master PSA, waive the requirement set forth in this Section 3.4(b), which shall also constitute a waiver of such corresponding requirement in each Other PSA (and in such event, Seller shall be under no obligation to provide a Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate). For purposes of this Section 3.4(b) only, the terms “Tenants” and “Leases” shall refer to the Tenants and the Leases in respect of the Properties to be purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and the “Tenants” and “Leases” (as each such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) in respect of the “Properties” (as such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) to be purchased and sold pursuant to each Other PSA, collectively. No Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel shall be dated earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Initial Closing Date and no such estoppel shall allege any material defaults by the Sellers (except to the extent any such default has been disclosed in writing by the Sellers to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement) or accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under the relevant Lease or contain any materially adverse deviations between (A) the information specified in said Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, and (B) (x) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or (y) the Leases to which such Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, relate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Statement of Lease from the GSA with respect to each Lease to which the GSA is a party. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Sellers to obtain (i) any novation of the applicable Lease with the GSA that may be required by the GSA in order to assign the applicable Lease to the Buyer or its applicable Designated Subsidiary and (ii) any Statement of Lease. In the event the GSA requires any Seller to remain liable under the applicable Lease with the GSA after the Closing Date, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each such Seller against any Losses (as defined below) arising out of such Lease after the Closing Date except to the extent such Losses are the result of any action taken by any such Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such Leases with the GSA.
Estoppels (i) Sellers shall have received from tenants (which tenants shall include the tenants leasing space pursuant to the Commercial Leases listed on Schedule 8.2(f)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter) leasing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate square footage leased pursuant to all Commercial Leases, a certificate (an "Estoppel"), addressed to the Company and its lender (as defined in the Estoppel attached as Exhibit D hereto), dated not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, in either (A) the form of Estoppel attached as Exhibit D hereto or (B) the form of Estoppel returned by the tenant whose Estoppel is being sought pursuant to this Section 8.2(f)(i) provided such form of Estoppel is substantially comparable to the form of Estoppel attached as Exhibit D hereto. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in lieu of any one or more of such Estoppels, MPLP may deliver a landlord Estoppel provided that (A) such form of landlord Estoppel is in the form of Estoppel attached as Exhibit D hereto, (B) the landlord Estoppels delivered by MPLP pursuant to this Section 8.2(f)(i) shall not be given in respect of more than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate square footage leased pursuant to all Commercial Leases and (C) such landlord Estoppels delivered by MPLP shall not be delivered in respect of the Commercial Leases listed on Schedule 8.2(f)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.
(ii) Sellers shall have received an Estoppel from each lessor under a Ground Lease, addressed to the Company and its lender (as defined in the Estoppel attached as Exhibit E hereto), dated not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date in either (A) the form of Estoppel attached as Exhibit E hereto or (B) the form of Estoppel returned by the lessor whose Estoppel is being sought pursuant to this Section 8.2(f)(ii) provided such form of Estoppel is substantially comparable to the form of Estoppel attached as Exhibit E hereto.
Tenant Estoppel Certificates (a) Seller agrees from and after receipt of the Assumption Approval as set forth in Section 9.1 and provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, within five (5) business days after being requested by Purchaser to do so, to deliver to all tenants of the Property a request for an estoppel certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto, which form may be revised if so requested by the Existing Lender. The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below, it shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close under this Agreement that an estoppel certificate either substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, dated not earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, be delivered to Purchaser no later than five (5) business days before Closing from tenants under the Leases occupying, in the aggregate, not less than 75% of the rentable area of the Property, including all tenants occupying at least a full floor or more of space (a "TENANT ESTOPPEL"), Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain such Tenant Estoppels, provided however, Seller shall not be obligated to pay tenants in order to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at Closing Seller delivers such Tenant Estoppels from tenants occupying at least 60% of the rentable area of the Property, Seller may execute and deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, its own certificate with respect to tenants occupying up to an additional 15% of the rentable area of the Property (substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, appropriately modified to reflect that they are certificates of Seller and made to Seller's knowledge; hereinafter, the "SELLER'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") and the statements of Seller contained therein shall survive the Closing until the earlier of (a) one hundred and eighty (180) days after Closing, or (b) the date Purchaser obtains an estoppel certificate from a tenant for whom Seller delivered a Seller's Estoppel Certificate.
(b) The parties agree that each Tenant Estoppel containing non-material exceptions, qualifications or modifications shall be deemed to be an acceptable estoppel certificate for purposes of this Section 7.4.5. In the event a Tenant Estoppel contains a material exception or qualification or alleges a material default by Seller (collectively, a "MATERIAL DEFAULT"), subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.4.5), Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller, on the earlier of five (5) business days after the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel alleging a Material Default or the Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL TERMINATION NOTICE"), time being of the essence as to the giving of such notice. If Purchaser shall timely give the Estoppel Termination Notice, then subject to Seller's option set forth below, this Agreement shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit Note and all interest thereon, and neither party shall have any obligation hereunder other than as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if Tenant Estoppel(s) allege Material Default(s) if (x) such Material Default(s) can be remedied by the performance of work costing not more than $50,000 in the aggregate for all such Tenant Estoppel(s) or the payment of money not exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate with respect to such tenants and (y) Seller elects (by written notice to Purchaser given simultaneously with Seller's delivery of such Tenant Estoppel to Purchaser), at Seller's option (but Seller shall have no obligation), to cure the nonconforming matter set forth in such estoppel by either performing or causing to be performed the work on or prior to the Closing Date, by paying the money on or prior to the Closing Date, or by granting Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount reasonably necessary to perform such work, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser, in which event Seller shall, at or before the Closing, cure, perform, pay or grant Purchaser a credit with respect to the same.
