Tenant further acknowledges that it has reviewed the existing subleases and is fully aware of all the terms, conditions and provisions of such subleases. To the extent that the Premises, or any parts thereof, are subject to existing subleases, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, Tenant’s right to occupancy of those parts of the Premises that are so encumbered shall be subordinate to the rights of the subtenants under the existing subleases until such time as the existing subleases expire or otherwise terminate. Tenant further agrees not to disturb the existing subtenants, provided that such subtenants are not in default under the terms of their subleases. Upon expiration or termination of an existing sublease, this Lease shall become the primary lease with respect to that part of the Premises previously encumbered by an existing sublease. Furthermore, notwithstanding Tenant’s rights under this Lease, Tenant shall not enter into any new lease or sublease, or modify or extend any existing sublease unless such new lease or sublease or modification or extension of any existing sublease contains a provision that subordinates, without condition or exception, such new lease or sublease or modification or extension to the lien of any mortgage, now or hereinafter in effect, as well as this Lease, provided, however, no consent or approval of Landlord is required or necessary to any such new lease, sublease, modification or extension.

Section 1.2. Premises. The “Premises” being leased under this Lease consist of the MOB containing approximately 49,848 square feet situated on certain real property owned by Landlord (the “Property”), as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and includes all fixtures, equipment, appliances and other personal property attached or appurtenant to, located in or on, or used in connection with the ownership and operation of the Premises.

The Premises includes Tenant’s non-exclusive license to use the areas located adjacent to the Premises designated by Landlord from time to time as being available for the common use by Landlord and tenants and occupants of the Premises, including the access drives, parking lot and landscaped areas adjacent to the Premises for parking, ingress and egress (the “Common Areas”), subject to the non-exclusive rights of Landlord and other tenants and occupants to use such Common Areas, and rules and regulations imposed by Landlord from time to time relating to the Common Areas. The parking lot and landscaped areas adjacent to the Premises shall be used for parking, ingress and egress purposes, maintenance and all other purposes required of Tenant hereunder.

Section 1.3. Term. The term of this Lease shall be a period of five (5) years commencing as of the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 2.1.) (the “Term”), subject to earlier termination as provided herein.

Furthermore, the Premises are leased to Tenant in an “as is, where is” condition without representation or warranty by Landlord, subject to any state of facts which an accurate physical inspection might reveal and to all applicable laws now or hereafter in effect. Tenant waives any claim or action against Landlord in respect of the condition of the Premises. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, SUITABILITY, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT.

Tenant represents that the officers of Tenant are knowledgeable and experienced in the leasing of properties comparable to the Premises and agrees that Tenant will be relying solely on Tenant’s inspections of the Premises in leasing the Premises. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION BY LANDLORD OF, AND LANDLORD DOES HEREBY DISCLAIM, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER ARISING PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR OTHERWISE, AND TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS SUCH EXCLUSION, NEGATION AND DISCLAIMER.

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant, as tenant under this Lease and as tenant under the new A/R Hospital Lease, shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the Common Areas on the Property and shall coordinate such responsibilities for the Term of this Lease.

Additionally, Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge receipt of that certain Property Condition Report prepared by ADAMS Management Services Corporation, dated August 19, 2013 (the “Property Condition Report”). Landlord and Tenant shall review on an annual basis the “Deferred Maintenance Items” set forth in the Property Condition Report and shall reasonably and mutually agree upon those Deferred Maintenance Items that Tenant shall perform and the times upon which Tenant shall complete such Deferred Maintenance Items. In the event that Tenant fails to complete such agreed upon Deferred Maintenance Items within the agreed upon times, then, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, Landlord may perform such agreed upon Deferred Maintenance Items and all costs so incurred by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent utilizing a capitalization rate of ten percent (10%) over the remaining Term of the Lease.

Section 6.2. Alterations.

All alterations, improvements, expansions and additions to the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes and requirements and any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions relating to the Premises, or any part thereof. All alterations, improvements, expansions and additions which are not movable trade fixtures shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises. To the extent such Alterations involve changes to the structure or systems of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Tenant’s architect or engineer, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, prior to the commencement of construction, the proposed plans and specifications for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and upon completion of construction, “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations. Landlord shall provide Tenant with its objections, in writing, to Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications within fifteen (15) days after receipt from Tenant. Tenant shall

 

9


submit revised plans and specifications until such time as Landlord has approved Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications for such Alterations. If Landlord fails to object, in writing, to Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications within fifteen (15) days after receipt from Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such proposed plans and specifications.

Section 6.3. Landlord’s Non-liability; Indemnification of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury of any kind or character to any person or property, arising from any use of the Premises, or any part thereof, or caused by any defect in any improvements located on the Premises, or any part thereof, or in any equipment or other facility therein, or caused by or arising from any act or omission of Tenant, or of any subtenants, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, or invitees of Tenant, or arising out of any work or Alterations performed by Tenant or any subtenant, or by or from any accident on the Premises, or any part thereof, or any fire or other casualty thereon, or occasioned by the failure of Tenant to maintain the Premises, or any part thereof, in safe condition, or arising from any other cause whatsoever. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration of this Lease, hereby waives on its behalf all claims and demands against Landlord for any such loss, damage or injury of Tenant, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord entirely free and harmless from all liability for any such loss, damage or injury of Tenant, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord entirely free and harmless from all liability for any such loss, damage or injury of all other persons, and from all costs and expenses arising therefrom (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), unless such loss, damage or injury is caused by the gross negligence of Landlord or intentional acts of Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands, or judgments of any nature whatsoever arising from (i) any injury to or the death of, any person, or damage to property, in, on or about the Premises, or any part thereof, or upon adjoining public sidewalks, streets, or ways, or in any manner growing out of or connected with the use, nonuse, condition, or occupation of the Premises, or any part thereof, or resulting from the condition thereof or of adjoining public sidewalks, streets or ways; (ii) violation by Tenant of any agreement or condition of this Lease; (iii) violation by Tenant of any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party or of any restriction, statute, law, ordinance, or regulation, in each case affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, or the ownership, occupancy or use thereof; and (iv) (1) the presence of any “Hazardous Material” (as defined below) on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or release of any Hazardous Material from, the Premises or any part thereof, (2) any liens against the Premises, or any part thereof, permitted or imposed by any Environmental Laws (as defined below), or any actual or asserted liability or obligations of Landlord or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws, and (3) any actual or asserted liability or obligations of Tenant or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws; provided however, Tenant shall not be responsible for indemnifying Landlord for any of the foregoing matters caused solely by Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant was the tenant under the Original Lease for the Premises. Tenant further agrees that the terms and conditions of this Section 6.3. shall apply to any and all matters under the Original Lease notwithstanding that such matters may have occurred or arisen prior to the date of this Lease or during the term of this Lease. Landlord, as used in this Section 6.3., shall include any beneficiary of any trust or any agent, employee, or representative of Landlord or any trustee and the Landlord’s Mortgagee and their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, members and partners. Any indemnification under this Section 6.3. shall constitute Additional Rent payable within twenty (20) days of demand and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease, including without limitation, the termination or rejection of this Lease in bankruptcy.

If the insurance proceeds resulting from such fire or other casualty are payable to the Landlord’s Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt, then the obligation of Tenant to so repair and restore the Premises shall be subject to the availability to Tenant of such proceeds to the extent needed to pay for such repair or restoration, In the event insurance proceeds are not made available to the Tenant, then Tenant shall not be obligated to repair and restore the Premises until such time as Landlord has made available to Tenant funds in an amount equal to the insurance proceeds paid to the Landlord’s Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt, and Rent shall continue to be paid by Tenant for so long as rent loss and/or business interruption insurance proceeds are available, after which Rent shall abate; provided, however, if Landlord fails to make such funds available within twelve (12) months after the date of such casualty, Tenant shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease.

Except as provided above, there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Rent under this Lease due to any such damage, destruction or repair or restoration and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease notwithstanding the partial or total destruction of all or any part of the Premises.

sub-limits, and exclusions as are typical for owners of real estate similar to the Premises from time to time and/or as are required by applicable law. Such insurance shall be for the full insurable value (actual replacement value without deduction for physical deterioration) of the Premises, shall name Landlord as additional insured, Landlord’s Mortgagee as first mortgagee/secured party, and Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee as loss payees, and shall provide that the insurance for the Premises, as required herein, shall not be canceled or changed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant and the Landlord’s Mortgagee. Tenant shall, from time to time and upon the written request of Landlord or the Landlord’s Mortgagee, furnish the requesting party with certificates of insurance demonstrating that such insurance is in full force and effect.

Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the Premises and any losses or claims arising in whole or in part from the use of the Premises, naming Landlord as named insured, and Tenant and the Landlord’s Mortgagee as additional insureds, which as of the Commencement Date shall be with minimum single limit of coverage for any one occurrence of not less than $1,000,000 with an aggregate of not less than $3,000,000 and an excess liability policy of not less than $10,000,000. Landlord’s liability insurance shall provide that it is primary coverage and not excess over or contributory with any other insurance coverage (including any other insurance maintained by the Landlord or the Tenant). All such insurance shall provide that the liability insurance, as required herein, shall not be canceled or changed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2., all such insurance shall at all times be in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable. Landlord shall from time to time upon the written request of the Tenant (or the Landlord’s Mortgagee) furnish to the requesting party certificates of insurance demonstrating that all such insurance is in full force and effect. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing promptly upon written request from Landlord. Landlord shall include with its written request paid invoices or such other evidence of payment and/or expense.

Section 9.3. Additional Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of the following insurance covering the Premises:

(i) If the Premises, or any part thereof, is located within a one hundred (100) year flood plain area designated by Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area and if available from insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises are located at rates which are economically practicable in relation to the risks covered.

(ii) If Tenant shall engage or cause to be engaged any contractor to perform work any Alterations in, on or about the Premises, the estimated cost of which will exceed $100,000.00, Tenant shall require such contractor to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, commercial general liability insurance, builder’s risk insurance, including but not limited to contractor’s liability coverage, completed operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement, workers compensation, and contractor’s protection liability coverage in such amounts and with such deductibles and such companies as are customary for the Alterations to be performed.

Section 9.4. Tenant’s Right to Insure; Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to directly procure any or all of the insurance required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Article IX, provided that such insurance and such insurance provider meet all of the requirements of this Article IX and such other commercially reasonable requirements as may be required by Landlord’s Mortgagee from time to time. In the event that Tenant elects to directly procure such insurance, Tenant shall remain liable for all of Landlord’s costs incurred in connection with Landlord’s obligation to provide such insurance under this Article IX, less any refunds or return of premiums actually received by Landlord. Any insurance maintained by either Landlord or Tenant shall provide that, to the extent permitted by law, the insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the Landlord and Tenant, as applicable, and their agents or employees, with respect to losses payable under the policy.

Section 9.5. Insurance Company Rating Requirements. All policies of insurance required under this Lease shall be placed with insurance companies having claims paying ratings no lower than A.M. Best “A-” or equivalent NAIC rating, from time to time.

ARTICLE X

EMINENT DOMAIN

If the Premises are taken in their entirety under the power of eminent domain by, or conveyed in lieu of such exercise to, any public authority, then Tenant’s obligations as to the Premises shall terminate as of the date upon which title to the Premises shall become vested in the condemning authority. If the entire parking area associated with the Premises or substantially all of the parking area associated with the Premises shall be taken at any time during the term of this Lease for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority, by the exercise of right of condemnation or eminent domain, or by agreement between Landlord, Tenant and those authorized to exercise such right, and Landlord fails to provide suitable replacement parking in connection therewith, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date upon which title to the parking area shall become vested in the condemning authority. Subject to the parking area provisions, if less than all of the Premises is so taken or conveyed, Tenant’s obligations as to the Premises shall not terminate, Rent shall abate and be reduced proportionally to such taking, and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore the balance of the Premises to a complete structural unit that can be operated on an economically feasible basis under the provisions of this Lease using the proceeds of the condemnation. If the condemnation proceeds resulting from such taking or conveyance are payable to the Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt, then the obligation of Tenant to so restore the balance of the Premises shall be subject to the availability to Tenant of such proceeds to the extent needed to pay for such restoration. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to cause such proceeds to be made available to Tenant for such purpose. In the event Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt do not make the condemnation proceeds available to Tenant to restore the balance of the Premises, then and in that event, Tenant will have the option to terminate the Lease or restore the balance of the Premises and receive an abatement of Rent during the restoration and a proportionate reduction in Rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease. Tenant shall be obligated to meet all reasonable conditions imposed on the use of any such proceeds by the Landlord’s Mortgagee or any holder of future Mortgage Debt. If such proceeds are made available to Tenant by the Landlord’s Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt and such proceeds are insufficient to restore the Premises as described above, Tenant shall be required to make up such deficiency out of Tenant’s own funds. All damages awarded for any taking of all or any part of the Premises shall belong to Landlord, except that

 

14


Tenant shall be entitled to any award made for removal and reinstallation of Tenant’s fixtures, moving expenses, loss of business and loss of its leasehold interest. In the event that Landlord elects not to do so, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to contest any such eminent domain proceedings, including, but not limited to, the right to contest the proposed amount of any such award.

ARTICLE XI

Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord in writing of all Permitted Subleases the Tenant enters into under this Lease. Landlord may accept Rent, Additional Rent, and any other sums that may become due under this Lease directly from any subtenant as agent for Tenant and require attornment of such subtenant in the event that this Lease is terminated or fails for any reason whatsoever.

ARTICLE XII

END OF TERM

Tenant shall surrender actual and exclusive possession of the entirety of the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, in good condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear, subject only to such tenancies and occupancies permitted to remain in effect beyond the expiration of the Term to which Landlord has previously agreed in writing and Permitted Subleases.

Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents received by Landlord which exceed the balance owed by Tenant to Landlord calculated as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

16


Section 13.4. Expenses of Enforcement. If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding against the other which is related to or arises out of the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Section 13.5. Landlord’s Right to Cure. Landlord may assign its rights under this Section to the Landlord’s Mortgagee upon written notice to Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to make any payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease and to timely cure the same, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefore, and no such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. Tenant shall immediately repay the same to Landlord, upon demand, together with all costs and expenses so incurred, together with a late charge thereon, all to the extent permitted by law, at the Interest Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord. The obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 13.6. Bankruptcy of Tenant.

(a) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and Tenant’s trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) and Section 13.6.(d) are satisfied as if the election to assume were made in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Tenant or Tenant’s trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such 60-day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected and immediately thereupon Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant’s trustee and this Lease upon the election of Landlord shall terminate, but Landlord’s right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to any provision hereof) or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.

(b) (i) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code which is transferred to Chapter 11, Tenant’s trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or the transfer thereto or such additional time as provided by the court or Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. In the event that Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has failed to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within the time periods (excluding grace periods) required for such performance, no election by Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be permitted or effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(1) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in possession has cured all Events of Default under this Lease, or has provided Landlord with Assurance (as defined below) that it will cure all Events of Default susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption and that it will cure all other Events of Default under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act promptly after the date of such assumption.

 

17


(2) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided Landlord with Assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption it will compensate Landlord, for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession.

(3) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with Assurance of the future performance of each of the obligations of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession under this Lease, and, if Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided such Assurance, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall also (i) deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent hereunder, an amount equal to one (1) installment of Rent (at the rate then payable) which shall be applied to installments of Rent in the inverse order in which such installments shall become due provided all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall have been complied with, and (ii) pay in advance to Landlord on the date each installment of Rent is payable a pro rata share of Tenant’s annual obligations for Additional Rent pursuant to this Lease, such that Landlord shall hold funds sufficient to satisfy all such obligations as they become due. The obligations imposed upon Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this Section shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.

(4) The assumption of this Lease will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 13.6., Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that “Assurance” shall mean no less than: Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (x) there shall have been deposited with Landlord, or the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating, sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or (y) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall have granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to cure the Events of Default under this Lease, monetary and/or non-monetary, within the time periods set forth above.

(c) In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with Section 13.6. (b) and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or has filed against it (without dismissal within sixty (60) days thereafter) or files a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any such event.

(d) If Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed this Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 13.6.(a) or Section 13.6.(b) for the purpose of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed

 

18


assignee (the “Assignee”) has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all cash proceeds of such assignment. As used herein “adequate assurance of future performance” shall mean no less than that each of the following conditions has been satisfied;

(i) the Assignee has furnished Landlord with either (1) (x) a copy of a credit rating of Assignee which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and (y) a current financial statement of Assignee audited by a certified public accountant indicating a net worth and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or (ii) a guarantee or guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons with a credit rating and net worth equal to or exceeding the credit rating and net worth of Tenant as of the date hereof.

(ii) Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from others required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit Landlord to consent to such assignment.

(e) when, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.

(f) Neither the whole nor any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or its estate in the Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall have consented to such transfer. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent.

(g) In the event of an assignment of Tenant’s interests pursuant to this Section 13.6., the right of Assignee to extend the term of this Lease for an extended term beyond the then term of this Lease shall be extinguished.

Section 13.7 Default by Landlord. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by Landlord under the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant or if Landlord shall fail to pay any sums due to Tenant under this Lease on the date the same shall become due and payable hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant [unless such failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if it shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute said cure to completion], then Tenant may, as its sole remedy under this Lease, cure any covenant or obligation which Landlord has failed to perform, and any sums expended by Tenant in curing such failure shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant immediately upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand; or (b) bring suit to recover from Landlord all sums due Tenant from Landlord together with interest at the Interest Rate.

ARTICLE XIV

HOLDING OVER IN POSSESSION

If Tenant shall retain possession of all or any part of the Premises beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant (i) shall pay to Landlord one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent payable for the last month of the Term of this Lease and any Additional Rent due to Landlord for each month that Tenant holds possession of any part of the Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease; (ii) shall also pay all costs incurred and damages sustained by Landlord, whether direct or consequential, on account of such holding over; and (iii) such tenancy shall be month to month and otherwise upon such terms and conditions (including rent) as Landlord shall specify.

ARTICLE XV

MORTGAGES

Section 15.1. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage that may hereafter be placed upon the Premises, or any part thereof, and to all amounts secured thereby, and to all renewals, replacements and extensions of any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any Mortgage provides otherwise, provided that any such mortgagee agrees in writing to not disturb Tenant’s occupancy and possession of the Premises, so long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant further agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage or of a conveyance in lieu thereof, it will attorn to the mortgagee or to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, as the case may be, upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease, so long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant agrees that such mortgagee or purchaser shall not be bound to recognize (i) Tenant’s payment of any Rent if paid more than one (1) month in advance or (ii) any amendment to this Lease without such mortgagee’s consent. Tenant shall at Landlord’s request execute such further instruments or assurances as any mortgagee or purchaser may request to evidence (i) the subordination of this Lease or to acknowledge the superiority of this Lease, as the case may be upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease and agree to a non-disturbance of the Tenant, (ii) Tenant’s attornment agreement, and/or (iii) the acknowledgment of the express obligations of Tenant to the Landlord’s Mortgagee that are provided for in this Lease. Prior to the Landlord entering into a Mortgage, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to procure a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement from Landlord’s Mortgagee in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant, pursuant to which such Mortgagee agrees that so long as there is not then a default by Tenant under this Lease which is not cured within the applicable cure period, Mortgagee shall not disturb Tenant’s use of the Premises if lender forecloses upon or otherwise takes possession of the Premises.

Section 15.2. No Personal Liability. In no event shall any Mortgagee of the Premises, or any part thereof, its nominee, or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale have any personal liability whatsoever for any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Landlord hereunder or in connection herewith, or any liability for any security deposit or other sums deposited with Landlord, or for any previous prepayment of Rent to Landlord, unless actually received by such Mortgagee, nominee or purchaser.

 

20


Section 15.3. Notices to Mortgagee and Mortgagee Right to Cure. Provided Tenant receives written notice of the name and address of Landlord’s Mortgagee having an interest in the Premises, Tenant agrees that in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall send written notice of the default to Landlord’s Mortgagee. Landlord’s Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days after the written notice from Tenant is sent within which to cure the default, and if the default is not capable of being cured within the 30-day period, then Landlord’s Mortgagee shall have a reasonable time thereafter to effect such cure, provided that Landlord’s Mortgagee commences to cure the same within the initial 30-day period and diligently pursues such cure until completed. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not have any right or remedy pursuant to this Lease or otherwise due to Landlord’s default unless Tenant shall have first given notice of the default to Landlord’s Mortgagee and unless Landlord’s Mortgagee shall have failed to cure the default within the time required by this Section 15.3.. Tenant will accept performance by Landlord’s Mortgagee of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Landlord contained in this Lease with the same effect as though performed by Landlord.
