3.4 Title and Survey. Purchaser shall order from the Title Company a preliminary owner’s title commitment with respect to the Property issued in favor of Purchaser (the “Title Commitment”). Purchaser shall request that the Title Company make copies of the Title Commitment, and copies of all underlying recorded exceptions referenced in the Title Commitment, available to Seller. Purchaser may arrange, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, for the preparation of one update of the Existing Survey by the original surveying company (the “Survey”). Purchaser shall have until May 31, 2013 to give written notice (the “First Title Notice”) to Seller of such objections as Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or in any Survey or otherwise in Purchaser’s examination of title. From time to time at any time after the First Title Notice and prior to the Closing Date (or the Extension Closing Date, if applicable), Purchaser may give written notice of exceptions to title first appearing of record after the effective
date of any updated title commitment or matters of survey which would not have been disclosed by an accurate updated examination of title or preparation of an updated ALTA survey prior to date of the initial Title Commitment or the initial Survey. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s First Title Notice, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser informing the Purchaser of Seller’s election with respect to such objections. If Seller fails to give written notice of election within such three (3) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the objections. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Seller shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) if such exceptions are matters first appearing of record after the date of this Agreement, and arise by, through or under Seller, to terminate this Agreement, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of Seller’s determination evidenced by written notice to Purchaser, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, or three (3) Business Days after Seller is deemed hereunder to have elected not to attempt to cure such objections (and upon any such termination under clause (ii) or (iii) above, Escrow Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser). Purchaser’s failure to timely terminate pursuant to items (ii) and (iii) above shall be deemed Purchaser’s election to close pursuant to item (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause the first priority deed of trust and any related UCC-1’s or financing statements encumbering the Property to be released at Closing (collectively, the “Security Instruments”). If Seller does not cause all of the Security Instruments to be released by Closing, then, in addition to any other remedy available hereunder, Buyer make take all steps necessary to release the same and deduct the costs it incurs in connection therewith from the Purchase Price, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
3.5 Termination of Agreement. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser or Purchaser’s permitted assignee. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time on or before said time and date of expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.5, Escrow Agent shall pay the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, whereupon, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.5, Purchaser shall make the Additional Xxxxxxx Money deposit, and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be non-refundable except as expressly set forth herein. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be void or voidable for lack of mutuality.
3.6 Operating Agreements. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Seller which Operating Agreements Purchaser will assume and which Operating Agreements will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller
shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Operating Agreements which cannot be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation. Taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to Article 5 hereof for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date (or the Extension Closing Date, if applicable) under those Operating Agreements which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing all Operating Agreements that are not so assumed, to the extent any relates to the Property. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period of any Operating Agreements that Purchaser does not desire to assume at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all such Operating Agreements and to have waived its right to require Seller to terminate such Operating Agreements at Closing.

All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives (including by way of example, but not in limitation, the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of Purchaser, and Purchaser’s engineers, consultants, counsel and potential lenders, and the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of each of them) with respect to the Property, whether delivered by Seller or any of Seller’s representatives or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Property, examination of Seller’s books, records and files in respect of the Property, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that Seller may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure or use of any of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than an appropriate representative of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, attorneys and lenders and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. If Purchaser or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof permitting such termination, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or any of its representatives of this Section 3.7, Seller shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any of the Due Diligence Material and any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy, in law or in equity, for such breach or threatened
breach. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement.

If Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “material Taking “ means all instances of a Taking that are not immaterial, as defined herein.
If Purchaser does not elect to, or has no right to, terminate this Agreement in accordance herewith on account of a Taking, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale
of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such Taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser has not elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.
ARTICLE 8
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than the default of Seller, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller’s retention of said Xxxxxxx Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Xxxxxxx Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser’s obligation to pay to Seller all attorneys’ fees and costs of Seller to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.1. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Xxxxxxx Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.
8.2 Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of the obligation of Seller to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of the default of Seller hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.
ARTICLE 9
ASSIGNMENT
ASSIGNMENT
9.1 Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlled by or under common control with Purchaser. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller’s written consent has been given or as to which Seller’s consent is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. No assignment or transfer shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, and the written assignment and assumption instrument shall expressly so provide. For purposes of this Section 9.1, the term “control” as used herein (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the ability (a) to vote twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of or voting interests in an entity, or (b) otherwise to direct the management policies of such entity, by contract or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.
ARTICLE 10
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

11.3 Time Periods. If the time period by which any right, option, or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled Business Day.
11.4 Publicity. The parties agree that, prior to Closing, and except for disclosures required by law or governmental regulations applicable to such party, no party may, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, contact or conduct negotiations with public officials, make any public announcements or issue press releases regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Additionally, Seller shall have the right to review and approve the contents and substance of any public announcement or press release made by Purchaser following the Closing.

11.6 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason
and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
11.7 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
11.10 General Provisions.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into this day of May, 2013, by and among COMMERCE STREET NASHVILLE PARTNERSHIP, a Tennessee general partnership (hereinafter referred to as “Purchaser”), XXXXX VAF – 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XXX, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”), and FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (hereinafter referred to as “Escrow Agent”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement fully executed May ___, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the “Contract”); and
WHEREAS, Section 2.3 of said Contract provides for Purchaser’s payment to Escrow Agent, upon Purchaser’s execution and delivery of the Contract to Seller, of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) as the Initial Xxxxxxx Money, and potentially an additional deposit of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000) as the Additional Xxxxxxx Money (as defined in the Contract) to be held and applied by said Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Escrow Agent’s holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds (as hereinafter defined).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Escrow Agent does hereby acknowledge receipt of a check or wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) as the Xxxxxxx Money (as defined in the Contract). Said Xxxxxxx Money (together with the Additional Xxxxxxx Money, if deposited), actually deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Contract, all interest and other income earned on the Xxxxxxx Money, any Additional Xxxxxxx Money and interest thereon being herein referred to as the “Escrow Funds”. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds in a money market account with a national banking association or other bank acceptable to Seller and Purchaser in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. All interest or other income shall be earned for the account of Purchaser and shall be held, invested and disbursed as a part of the Escrow Funds hereunder. Purchaser’s Federal Identification Number for purposes of this Agreement is ________________. Escrow Agent’s fee, if any, for services rendered hereunder shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Purchaser and one-half (1/2) by Seller.
2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Contract pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent
shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.
3. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default, gross negligence, fraud or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.
4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so or in the event that Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before the date which is six (6) months from the date hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender the Escrow Funds into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.
5. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and legal counsel fees, which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof.

2.4. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure thereof, the purchaser upon foreclosure of the Mortgage, or the grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall thereby succeed to the position of landlord under the Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and accept such purchaser or grantee as the landlord under the Lease, and (subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease) such purchaser or grantee shall not disturb the possession of the Tenant and shall be bound by all of the obligations of the landlord under the Lease; provided, however, that such purchaser or grantee shall not:

LOBBY LESSOR AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT OF CONSENT TO DEED OF TRUST
The undersigned is the holder of the interest of the landlord ("Landlord") in and to that certain Lease Agreemend dated December 1, 1985, between Commerce Street Venture, as Lessor, and Seller, as Lessee, a memorandum of which is recorded in Book 6739, page 374 and re-recorded in Book 6740, page 822, Register’s Office for Davidson County, Tennessee, for 3,392 square feet of area on the ground floor of the Property, as modified by an Addendum to Lease Agreement dated as of November 26, 1986, establishing the leased premises as 3,725 square feet, including the elevators and loading dock areas, and as further amended by a First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated December 14, 2007 and as affected by that certain Shipping and Receiving Office Sublease between Seller, as Sublessor and Country Music Television, Inc., as Sublessee, dated December 7, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the "Lease"), covering certain property in Davidson County, Tennessee, as more particularly described therein (the "Property"), the tenant’s interest in which is currently held by XXXXX VAF – 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, LLC (the "Current Tenant").
Current Tenant has executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Commerce Street Nashville Partnership, a Tennessee general partnership (as successor to Current Tenant, the "Tenant"), for the sale of the property and for an assignment of the Lease. Tenant has applied to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, a Canadian corporation (the "Lender"), to make a loan to Tenant (the "Loan") which Loan is to be secured in part by Tenant’s interest in the Lease now existing or hereafter acquired.
Tenant has requested Landlord’s consent to this Agreement in connection with leasehold financing that is being obtained during the term of the Lease, without subordination of Landlord’s interest in the Property.
Lender has agreed to make the Loan and accept such security upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, one of which is the execution of this Agreement by all of the parties hereto.
Landlord hereby consents to the Loan and the encumbrance of Tenant’s existing and after acquired interests in the Lease, the pledge and assignment by Tenant of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Lease, Tenant's leasehold estate and Tenant’s interest in any subleases affecting the Property, or any portion thereof, and all additional, replacement, refinancing, consolidation, or substitution leasehold mortgages, trust deeds, security assignments, pledges, and similar security instruments hereafter given by Tenant thereon (the "Loan Instruments") in favor of the Lender.
Until Landlord receives written notice from the Lender that the Loan Instruments have been released by the Lender and terminated, Landlord agrees that:
1.Notices of Default. In the event of any default under the Lease, Landlord will deliver a copy of the notice of default to Lender at Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, a Canadian corporation, c/o Sun Life Financial, One Sun Life Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Mortgage Investments Group, SC1303. Landlord specifically acknowledges and agrees that upon Landlord's execution of this Agreement, Lender shall be recognized as a leasehold mortgagee under the Lease. Landlord hereby agrees not to take any action to dispossess Tenant or to enforce any claim with respect thereto without giving the Lender at least sixty (60) days’ prior
written notice thereof, and the right to cure such default within said period. Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of Lender as if the same had been done by Tenant. No event of default shall be deemed to exist under the Lease with respect to the payment of rentals or other charges, the performance of work required to be performed, or of acts to be done, or of conditions to be remedied, if Lender corrects or commences correction of the default within the required time period and thereafter pursues such correction to completion.
2.Lender’s Rights. In the event of default by Tenant under the Lease or under the Loan Instruments with Lender, the Lender may exercise such rights as Lender may have against Tenant, including the right to take possession of the Property and exercise Tenant’s rights under the Lease, foreclose Tenant’s interest in the Lease as permitted by law, and reassign, sell, and/or sublet Tenant’s interest in the Lease (but any such reassignment or sale will be subject to written approval by Landlord, to the extent, if any, required under the Lease, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Landlord consents to the assignment of the Lease and any conveyance of the Property to Lender, and Landlord will reasonably approve and consent to an assignment of the Lease to third parties with the credit-worthiness, business experience, and qualifications to perform Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, provided that the transferee assumes the Lease. Lender shall not be liable under the Lease following assignment or other disposition of the Tenant's leasehold estate nor be responsible for the obligations under the Lease unless and until Lender shall become the owner of the Tenant's leasehold estate.
3.No Termination Without Lender’s Right to Foreclose. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease, upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Lease, Landlord shall take no action to dispossess Tenant or to terminate the Lease (if permitted in the Lease) without first giving to Lender at least sixty (60) days' written notice of Landlord’s election to take such actions, and a reasonable time thereafter within which either (a) to obtain possession of the Property (including possession by a receiver) or (b) to institute, prosecute, and complete foreclosure proceedings or otherwise acquire Tenant’s interest under this Lease with diligence. Upon obtaining possession or acquiring Tenant’s interest under the Lease, Lender shall be required promptly to cure all defaults then reasonably curable by Lender. Lender may elect to return possession of the Property to Tenant or discontinue any foreclosure proceedings then in progress at any time. No provision of the Lease or this Agreement shall be interpreted as an obligation on the part of Lender to commence or continue any action to obtain possession of the Property or acquire Tenant’s interest under the Lease.
4.No Liability. Neither this Agreement, the Loan Instruments, any assignment of lease to Lender as security, nor any action taken under any such instruments shall be construed as giving rise to any duty, responsibility, or liability on the part of Lender to the Landlord, except as expressly provided herein.
5.No Cancellation or Modification. There shall be no cancellation, surrender or modification of the Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant without the prior written consent of Lender.
6.Release of Liability. If Lender acquires title to Tenant’s leasehold interest or otherwise forecloses on such interest, and the leasehold interest is assigned to a transferee in accordance with paragraph 2, Lender shall be automatically released from all liability for the performance or observance of the terms of the Lease effective on the date of such assignment, so long as the transferee assumes the Lease and so long as the Landlord has given written approval of
the credit worthiness of the transferee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of Lender, as holder of the leasehold financing referred to above, and Tenant, and their respective successors and assigns.
8.Cooperation by Parties. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in executing an agreement substantially in accordance with this Agreement and naming the specific Lender, if required by the Lender, and executing any estoppel certificate, acknowledgment or similar document reasonably required by Tenant and the Lender in connection with financing obtained by Tenant. Landlord agrees to execute, acknowledge (if appropriate), and deliver any agreements clarifying or modifying this Lease and reasonably required by Tenant and Lender, provided that any such modification shall not in any way cause any material diminishment of Tenant’s obligations or Landlord‘s rights and remedies pursuant to the Lease.
9.No Default. Landlord acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the Lease described above is presently in full force and effect, the Lease has not been modified, amended, supplemented or assigned in any way, there has been no hypothecation or pledge of Tenant's interest under the Lease (except as shown on the attachments thereto and by this Agreement), there is no default under the Lease in the payment of rent or in the observance or performance of any other covenant or condition to be observed or performed by Tenant, and that Landlord has no knowledge of any state of facts which, with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both would constitute a default or event of default by Tenant thereunder.
10.Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation between the parties to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall, in addition to any other relief, be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred at trial, upon any appeal and on any petition for review.
11.Complete Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the complete understanding of the parties with respect to this transaction, may be amended only in writing signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be deemed modified by any course of dealing.
12.Notices.
