In the event the Construction Costs of the Premises (exclusive of Landlord’s Work) are less than the Construction Cap, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s option, either (a) within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice of Tenant’s election, deliver to Tenant a sum of money equal to the difference between the Construction Cap and the actual Construction Costs (exclusive of Landlord’s Work) (hereinafter referred to as the “Adjusted Construction Costs”) or (b) immediately decrease the Annual Minimum Rent for each Lease Year of the Lease Term by the product derived from multiplying the Adjusted Construction Costs by Six and 66/100ths Percent (6.66%).

Tenant shall be allowed fifteen (15) days within which to examine the Plans and to advise Landlord of Tenant’s approval or disapproval of the same; provided, however, Tenant’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The failure of Tenant to advise Landlord within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to constitute the approval of the Plans by Tenant as of the fifteenth (15th) day following Tenant’s receipt of the Plans. If Tenant shall have a reasonable basis for disapproval of any portion of the Plans, Tenant shall give Landlord its reasons therefor in writing within said fifteen (15) day period and, provided said changes are reasonable, Landlord shall cause the Plans to be revised so as to meet Tenant’s reasonable objections. Landlord shall submit the revised Plans to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s reasons for disapproval of the Plans. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of the revised Plans, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of its approval of the revised Plans or notify Landlord of any additional objections. Landlord and Tenant and General Contractor shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute regarding revisions to the Plans in an expeditious manner to the mutual satisfaction of Landlord and Tenant; provided however, in the event a dispute cannot be so resolved, Landlord’s architect and an architect selected by Tenant shall agree upon a resolution to said dispute and the resolution shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The Plans which have been approved by Tenant are referred to as the “Approved Final Plans and Specifications.” Landlord shall have the right to make changes in the Approved Final Plans and Specifications (subject to Tenant’s further review and approval of same as provided above and which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) in which event, to the extent said changes cause Construction Costs to exceed the Construction Cap, Landlord shall pay the amount by which the total additional cost related to such changes exceeds any savings resulting therefrom. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for any change orders requested solely by Tenant or any governmental permitting authority. Tenant shall have the right to make changes in the Approved Final Plans and Specifications in which event, to the extent said changes cause Construction Costs to exceed the Construction Cap, Tenant shall pay the amount by which the total additional cost related to such changes exceeds any savings resulting therefrom as provided in subsection 4.1.3.

4.3 Construction Schedule: Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree Tenant was, among other things, induced into entering this Lease by certain representations made by Landlord as to the timing of delivery of tie Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant deem it imperative that a construction schedule be established which accurately sets forth the timing for completion of construction by Landlord of the Premises Ready for Occupancy. Landlord covenants to use its best efforts to meet the construction schedule attached hereto as Schedule 4.3 and incorporated herein by reference (“Construction Schedule”). If Landlord shall not have obtained all necessary approvals, licensing and building permits and shall not have commenced construction by April 30, 2009, Tenant may, without liability or further obligation, terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, and in such case this Lease shall have no further force or effect. It is understood and agreed that if Landlord fails to deliver the Premises Ready for Occupancy (as hereinafter defined) or commence the Construction in the manner and time period specified in this Section 4.3, then, in such event, Landlord shall be deemed in default under the Lease, and Landlord shall not have any additional time to cure such default, notwithstanding the cure period provided in Section 14.2 hereof.
4.3.1 Turnover Dates: Landlord shall use its best efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy (as defined hereinafter) on February 26, 2010 (the “Initial Turnover Date”), In the event Premises shall not be delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy by the Initial Turnover Date, Landlord shall use its best efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on March 26, 2010 (the “Second Turnover Date”), Landlord covenants to deliver written notice to Tenant by February 1,2010, which notice shall state whether the Premises shall be delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on the Initial or Second Turnover Date, or provide that Landlord is unable to meet either Turnover Date (the “Turnover Date Notice”). The Turnover Date Notice shall not give notice of intent to deliver the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on any date between the Initial Turnover Date and the Second Turnover Date or subsequent to the Second Turnover Date unless Landlord pays liquidated damages in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. It is agreed and understood that failure to deliver the Turnover Date Notice in accordance with this Section 4.3.1 shall result in a presumption for the purposes of this Article IV that Landlord has notified Tenant that the Premises will be delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy by the Initial Turnover Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant fails to provide Landlord with all programing and other specific information necessary for Landlord to complete construction in a timely manner, as requested by Landlord by written notice thereof, within seven (7) days of said written request, then the Turnover Date shall be extended for a period of time commensurate with the delay caused by the Tenant.
4.3.2 Termination Option: If the Turnover Date Notice indicates that, despite the best good-faith efforts of Landlord, the Premises shall not be delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy by the Second Turnover Date, unless such failure to timely deliver the Premises resulted directly from delays caused by Tenant (net of delays caused by Landlord) and subject to force majeure delays as set forth in Section 18.7, then Tenant shall not be required to accept possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (Landlord not having any additional time to cure notwithstanding the cure period provided in Section 14.2 hereof). In the event this Lease shall be terminated by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.3.2, neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder.
11 |
4.4 Liquidated Damages: If Landlord fails to deliver the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy by the Initial or Second Turnover Date, as applicable pursuant to the Turnover Date Notice or otherwise presumed pursuant hereto, unless such failure to timely deliver the Premises resulted directly from delays caused by Tenant (net of delays caused by Landlord) or by force majeure delays as provided in Section 18.7 of this Lease, then, in such event, Landlord shall be deemed in default under this Lease (it being understood that Landlord shall not be allowed additional time to cure such default, notwithstanding the curative period described in Section 14.2 hereof), and Landlord shall be obligated for payment to Tenant as liquidated damages the sum of money equivalent to three (3) times the daily Minimum Rent for each day after the Initial or Second Turnover Date, as applicable pursuant to the Turnover Date Notice or otherwise presumed pursuant hereto, until the Premises are delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy or this Lease is terminated in accordance with Section 4.3.2.

WITNESSETH:
A. The Tenant is the tenant under a Lease dated February 27, 2009 executed by Elm Road MOB, 11, LLC, as landlord, as assigned to Landlord pursuant to an assignment of even date herewith, and Tenant, covering the property commonly known as Xxx 0 xx xxx Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, which includes a 45,920 sq.ft. medical office building and is more particularly described in the Lease (as such may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Lease”).
B. Lender has committed to extend credit to Landlord (the “Loan”), secured by the Property as evidenced by a first mortgage lien and security interest against the Property, which mortgage lien and security interest will be evidenced by certain documentation approved by Lender and executed between the Landlord and Lender (the “Security Instrument”).
C. As a condition to the extension of credit under the Loan, the Lender requires that the Landlord and the Tenant enter into this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants of the parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. Consent. The Tenant consents to the execution of the Security Instrument by Landlord, and the Tenant consents to the assignment of the Lease to Lender as collateral pursuant to that certain Collateral Assignment of Rents and Leases executed of even date herewith by Landlord and Lender.
2. Subordination. Tenant hereby subordinates all of its right, title and interest in, to, and under the Lease to the lien and security interest to be evidenced by the Security Instrument, and acknowledges and agrees that the Lease shall at all times hereafter be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Instrument and to all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. Non-Disturbance of Tenant’s Possession. So long as Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent, additional rent, or other charges, or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, Tenant shall not be disturbed by Lender in Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises during the original or any renewal term of the Lease or any extension thereof; foreclosure of the Security Instrument, exercise of the power of sale thereunder, acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or exercise of any remedy provided in the Security Instrument or in any assignment of leases and rents in favor of Lender or pursuant to the laws of the state in which the Property is situated notwithstanding.
EXHIBIT A
- 1 - |
4. Notice to Lender; Lender’s Cure. Notwithstanding any provision in the Lease to the contrary, no default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease that is of such a nature as to give Tenant a right to terminate the Lease or to reduce the rent payable under the Lease or to any credit, reduction or offset against future rents shall entitle Tenant to exercise any such right, power or remedy unless and until written notice of such default is given to Lender (in accordance with the timeframes set forth in Section 14.2 of the Lease and with such notice being provided concurrent with notice to the Landlord as provided therein) and unless and until ten (10) days shall have elapsed following receipt of such notice by Lender, during which period Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy or cure such default; provided, however, that if such default cannot be cured within ten (10) days, then Lender shall have such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such default so long as Lender pursues the cure of same with due diligence.
5. Lender’s Obligations. No person or entity who exercises a right arising under the Security Instrument or any assignment of the Lease or receives the rents payable by Tenant under the Lease shall thereby become obligated to Tenant for the performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of Landlord under the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall make all payments to be made by Tenant under the Lease to such person or entity upon receipt of written notice of the exercise of such right. Receipt of rent by such other person shall not relieve Landlord of its obligations under the Lease, and Tenant shall continue to look only to Landlord for performance thereof.
6. Special Rights of Lender. In addition to and not in lieu of any other provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall not in any way or to any extent be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of any landlord (including Landlord) in contravention of any provision of the Lease; or
(b) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord) which accrues prior to acquisition of title to the Demised Premises by Lender; or
(c) bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant might have paid for more than thirty (30) days in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(d) bound by any agreement or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s written consent; or
(e) in any way responsible for any deposit or security that was delivered to Landlord but which was not subsequently delivered to Lender.
7. Attornment. Tenant agrees that if Lender acquires title to the Property as a result of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, exercise of the power of sale thereunder or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or if Lender obtains control of the Property pursuant to any other rights, powers or remedies contained in the Security Instrument, any assignment of leases and rents in favor of Lender, or the laws of the state in which the Property is situated, Tenant will, upon request of Lender or any other person or entity succeeding to the interest of Lender as a result of the exercise of any such right, power or remedy, automatically become the lessee or tenant of Lender or such successor in interest, without any change in the terms and provisions of the Lease, and Tenant will, upon request of Lender or said successor in interest, deliver an instrument or instruments in recordable form, confirming such attornment.
8. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of Tenant. Tenant, in order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, hereby affirms that:
(a) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified or amended;
- 2 - |
(b) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is not in default in performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease;
(c) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Tenant has no present right of offset against any rent due or to become due under the Lease;
(d) Tenant will not materially amend or modify the Lease without the prior written consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

Landlord hereby directs Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees, to make all Rent Payments directly to Lender or assignee following Tenant’s receipt of a Default Notice.
