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:
Leases The Property is not subject to any leases other than the Leases described in the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule V and made a part hereof. Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are in full force and effect and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, (a) there are no defaults thereunder by either party and (b) there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder. No Rent (including security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all work to be completed by Borrower prior to the date hereof under each Lease has been performed as required and has been accepted by the applicable tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by Borrower to any tenant has already been received by such tenant. There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment, hypothecation or pledge of any Lease or of the Rents received therein. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant listed on Schedule I has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any portion of the premises demised thereby, no such tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor does anyone except such tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. No Tenant under any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part. No Tenant has no right or option for additional space in the Improvements. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Environmental Report (as defined in the Mortgage), no hazardous wastes or toxic substances, as defined by applicable federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations, have been disposed, stored or treated by any tenant under any Lease on or about the Property nor does Borrower have any knowledge of any Tenant’s intention to use its premises for any activity which, directly or indirectly, involves the use, generation, treatment, storage, disposal or transportation of any petroleum product or any toxic or hazardous chemical, material, substance or waste. True, correct and complete copies of the Leases have been provided to Lender and such Leases have not been modified or amended in any way.
