Leasehold Estate Each Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real estate or, if the related Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property (a "Ground Lease"), by the related Mortgagor's interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"), and as to such Ground Leases:
(a) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related lessor) does not prohibit the current use of the Mortgaged Property and does not prohibit the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File;
(b) The lessee's interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than Permitted Encumbrances;
(c) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Purchaser and the Trustee as its assignee upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Closing Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by the Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor or if such lessor's consent is required it cannot be unreasonably withheld;
(d) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Ground Lease provides that no material amendment to such Ground Lease is binding on a mortgagee unless the mortgagee has consented thereto, and the Seller has received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder, and, to the Seller's knowledge, there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(e) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to the holder of the Mortgage; and (B) provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered or is required to enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease.
(f) A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(g) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(h) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award awarded to the holder of the ground lease interest will be applied either (A) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by the related Mortgage having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling a third party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender), or (B) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
(i) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders lending on a similar Mortgaged Property in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located; and such Ground Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of the lessee thereunder for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;
(j) Such Ground Lease requires the Lessor to enter into a new lease upon termination of such Ground Lease if the Ground Lease is rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding; and
(k) Such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors or assigns; provided, however, that termination or cancellation without such consent may be binding on the mortgagee if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice is provided to the mortgagee and (iii) such default is curable by the mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period.
Title to Properties; Absence of Liens and Encumbrances (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have good and valid title to all of their respective properties, interests in properties and assets, real and personal, reflected on the Financial Statements, or, in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in such properties and assets, in each case free and clear of all Liens except for: (i) Liens reflected on the Financial Statements, (ii) Liens consisting of zoning or planning restrictions, easements, permits and other restrictions or limitations on the use of real property or irregularities in title thereto which do not materially detract from the value of, or materially impair the use of, such property as it is presently used, (iii) Liens for current Taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on property not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and for which appropriate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been created and (iv) mechanic's, materialmen's and similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business or by operation of law (collectively, "Permitted Liens").
(b) Section 3.16(b) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all real property leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any real property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all leases for real property to which it is a party. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any lease, assignment or similar arrangement under which the Company or any Subsidiary is a lessor, assignor or otherwise makes available for use by any third party any portion of the owned or leased real property.
(c) The facilities, property and equipment owned, leased or otherwise used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are material to the functioning of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries are in a good state of maintenance and repair, free from material defects and in good operating condition (subject to normal wear and tear) and suitable for the purposes for which they are presently used.
(d) All tangible assets which are leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are material to the functioning of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been maintained with the manufacturers' standards and specifications required by each such lease such that, at each such termination of the lease, such assets can be returned to their owner without any further material obligation on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect thereto.
Title to Properties; Encumbrances The Company does not currently own, nor has it ever owned (a) any real property, (b) any leasehold interests or (c) any buildings, plants, structures and/or equipment. Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all (A) the Assets that the Company purports to own, including all of the properties and assets reflected in the Balance Sheet (except for assets held under capitalized leases disclosed or not required to be disclosed in Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule and personal property sold since the date of the Balance Sheet, as the case may be, in the Ordinary Course of Business), and (B) all of the properties and assets purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company since the date of the Balance Sheet (except for personal property acquired and sold since the date of the Balance Sheet in the Ordinary Course of Business and consistent with past practice), which subsequently purchased or acquired properties and assets (other than inventory and short-term investments) are listed in Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule. The Company is the sole owner and has good and marketable title (or leasehold title, as the case may be) to the Assets free and clear of all Encumbrances, and the Assets reflected in the Balance Sheet are free and clear of all Encumbrances and are not, in the case of real property, subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except, with respect to all such properties and assets, (i) mortgages or security interests shown on the Balance Sheet as securing specified liabilities or obligations, with respect to which no default (or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (ii) mortgages or security interests incurred in connection with the purchase of property or assets after the date of the Balance Sheet (such mortgages and security interests being limited to the property or assets so acquired), with respect to which no default (or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (iii) liens for current taxes not yet due, and (iv) Encumbrances pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (as defined below) or the Facility Agreement and (v) Encumbrances incurred in the Ordinary Course of the Business, consistent with past practice, or created by the express provisions of the Contracts, each of the type identified on Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule (together, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). All such assets are suitable for the uses to which they are being put or have been put in the Ordinary Course of Business and are in good working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Title to Property and Encumbrances The Company has good and valid title to all properties and assets used in the conduct of its business (except for property held under valid and subsisting leases which are in full force and effect and which are not in default) free of all Liens except Permitted Liens and such ordinary and customary imperfections of title, restrictions and encumbrances as do not in the aggregate constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.
Assignment of Leases and Rents There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.
Title to Properties; Liens and Encumbrances The Company has good and marketable title to all of its material properties and assets, both real and personal, and has good title to all its leasehold interests, in each case subject only to mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, conditional sale agreements, encumbrances or charges created in the ordinary course of business.
Property and Leases (a) The Company and the Subsidiaries have sufficient title to all their properties and assets to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted, with only such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each parcel of real property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (i) is owned or leased free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, conditional and installment sale agreements, encumbrances, charges or other claims of third parties of any kind, including, without limitation, any easement, right of way or other encumbrance to title, or any option, right of first refusal, or right of first offer (collectively, "Liens"), other than (A) Liens for current taxes and assessments not yet past due, (B) inchoate mechanics' and materialmen's Liens for construction in progress, (C) workmen's, repairmen's, warehousemen's and carriers' Liens arising in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Subsidiary consistent with past practice, and (D) all matters of record, (E) Liens reflected in the SEC Reports, including, without limitation, the financial statements contained therein, (F) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not materially impair the present use of the property, (G) as set forth in Section 4.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, or (H) other Liens and other imperfections of title and encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, "Permitted Liens"), and (ii) is neither subject to any governmental decree or order to be sold nor is being condemned, expropriated or otherwise taken by any public authority with or without payment of compensation therefor, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has any such condemnation, expropriation or taking been proposed.
(c) amended, and there exists no default under any such lease by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder by the Company or any Subsidiary, except as would not prevent or materially delay consummation of the Offer or the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) There are no contractual or legal restrictions that preclude or restrict the ability to use any real property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole for the purposes for which it is currently being used. There are no material latent defects or material adverse physical conditions affecting the real property, and improvements thereon, owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole other than those that would not prevent or materially delay consummation of the Offer or the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes A. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4.07.B below, all real estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments (including special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities that are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Hotel (regardless of whether or not they also benefit other buildings)), “Impact Fees” (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of zoning variances or building permits, and similar charges on or relating to the Hotel (collectively, “Impositions”) during the Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien placed upon the Hotel or upon this Agreement, unless payment thereof is in good faith being contested and enforcement thereof is stayed. Any such payments shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Owner shall, within five (5) days after receipt, furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect to the Hotel. Either Landlord or Owner may, and at Owner’s request Manager shall, initiate proceedings to contest any negotiations or proceedings with respect to any Imposition, and all reasonable costs of any such contest shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a Deduction in determining Operating Profit. Manager shall, as part of its contest or negotiation of any Imposition, be entitled, on Owner’s behalf, to waive any applicable statute of limitations in order to avoid paying the Imposition during the pendency of any proceedings or negotiations with applicable authorities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at Owner’s option (i) Manager shall establish an escrow account in the name of Owner in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner and shall deposit monthly into such account from Gross Revenues an amount that Manager reasonably estimates shall be sufficient to pay the Impositions, in which case Manager shall pay the Impositions from funds in the escrow account as and when the Impositions become due (and Owner shall promptly deposit into the escrow account any deficiency if the estimated monthly payments are not sufficient to pay all of the Impositions) or (ii) the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into such escrow account shall be included in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. If Owner elects to retain such amounts pursuant to clause (ii) above, Manager shall accrue such amounts as a reserve on the accounting records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same as and when the Impositions become due, but such accrued and unfunded amounts shall be deducted from Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee. In addition, if any Mortgagee requires the establishment of an escrow account with respect to the Impositions, Manager shall comply with such requirements.
Leasehold Estate Only If any Mortgage Loan is secured by the interest of a Borrower as a lessee under a ground lease of all or a material portion of a Mortgaged Property (together with any and all written amendments and modifications thereof and any and all estoppels from or other agreements with the ground lessor, a “Ground Lease”), but not by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property or such material portion thereof (the “Fee Interest”), then:
(a) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been submitted for recording; such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments which are a part of the related Mortgage File;
(b) The related lessee’s leasehold interest in the portion of the related Mortgaged Property covered by such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee Interest and Permitted Encumbrances;
(c) The Borrower’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to, and is thereafter further assignable by, the Purchaser upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld; provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts owed thereunder have been paid). If required by such Ground Lease, the lessor has received notice of the lien of the related Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease;
(d) The related ground lessor has agreed to provide the holder of the Mortgage Loan notice and the holder of such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable time to cure any default or breach by the lessee thereunder, including such time as is necessary to gain possession of the Mortgaged Property, by foreclosure or otherwise, if possession is necessary to effect such cure, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(e) In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related ground lessor provided an estoppel to the originator confirming that the related Borrower was not then in default under such Ground Lease; such Ground Lease provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan unless a copy has been delivered to the mortgagee; the Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of default under or termination of such Ground Lease; to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease; and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
(f) Such Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee if it takes possession of such leasehold interest) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years if such Mortgage Loan fully or substantially amortizes by the stated maturity;
(g) Such Ground Lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with a mortgagee upon termination of such Ground Lease as a result of a rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding involving the related Borrower, unless the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan fails to cure a curable default of the lessee under such Ground Lease following notice thereof from the lessor;
(h) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related casualty insurance proceeds with respect to the leasehold interest will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender) or (ii) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
(i) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender on a similar mortgaged property in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan; and
(j) Such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that such mortgagee has provided the ground lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease.
Assignment of Leases The Assignment of Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.
