Lessor and Lessee further intend and agree that, for the purpose of securing the Lessee's obligations of Lessee and/or the Construction Agent now existing or hereafter arising under the Operative Agreements, hereunder (i) this Lease shall be deemed to be a security agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code respecting each of the Properties and all proceeds (including without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is personal property and an irrevocable grant and conveyance of a lien and mortgage on each of Property to the Properties and all proceeds (including without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) Lessor as security for the Lessee's obligations hereunder to the extent such is real property; (ii) the acquisition of title by Lessor (or to the extent applicable, a leasehold interest pursuant to a Ground Lease) in each Property referenced in Article II constitutes a grant by Lessee to Lessor of a security interest, lien and mortgage in all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to each Property and all proceeds (including without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash, investments, securities or other property, and an assignment of all rents, profits and income produced by each Property; and (iii) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of perfecting such lien, security interest and mortgage lien under applicable law. Lessee shall promptly take such actions as Lessor may reasonably request (including without limitation the filing of Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, Uniform Commercial Code Fixture Filings and memoranda (or short forms) of this Lease and the various Lease Supplements) to ensure that the lien, security interest, lien and mortgage lien in each Property and the other items referenced above will be deemed to be a perfected lien, security interest and mortgage lien of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the Term. The security agreements, financing statements, liens, security interests, deeds of trust and mortgages provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof shall be individually defined as the "Security Right", and individual collateral secured by the corresponding Security Right as provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof shall be defined herein as the "Specified Collateral". (c) In the event that Lessee's interest in the Properties as provided in this Lease is recharacterized by a court of competent jurisdiction, and last resort in the case of an appeal, as a grant of an equitable mortgage by Lessee or as a financing instrument provided in favor of Lessee or otherwise, and not as a leasehold estate in substantial conformity with the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, then Lessee and Lessor agree that this Lease shall constitute a Security Right with respect to the applicable Specified Collateral provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 7.1(b) and shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Lease to the extent that such terms and conditions may be enforceable pursuant to the determination of such court of competent jurisdiction. Lessor and Lessee further agree that the provisions of this Section 7.1 are for the benefit of, and may be enforceable by Lessor, Lessee and each of the Financing Parties.real
