Tenant Estoppel Certificate Please refer to the documents described in Schedule 1 hereto, (the “Lease Documents”) including the “Lease” therein described; all defined terms in this Certificate shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Lease unless otherwise expressly set forth herein. The undersigned Tenant hereby certifies that it is the tenant under the Lease. Tenant hereby further acknowledges that it has been advised that the Lease may be collaterally assigned in connection with a proposed financing secured by the Property and/or may be assigned in connection with a sale of the Property and certifies both to Landlord and to any and all prospective mortgagees and purchasers of the Property, including any trustee on behalf of any holders of notes or other similar instruments, any holders from time to time of such notes or other instruments, and their respective successors and assigns (the “Beneficiaries”) that as of the date hereof:
Tenant Estoppel Certificates (a) Seller agrees from and after receipt of the Assumption Approval as set forth in Section 9.1 and provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, within five (5) business days after being requested by Purchaser to do so, to deliver to all tenants of the Property a request for an estoppel certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto, which form may be revised if so requested by the Existing Lender. The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below, it shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close under this Agreement that an estoppel certificate either substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, dated not earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, be delivered to Purchaser no later than five (5) business days before Closing from tenants under the Leases occupying, in the aggregate, not less than 75% of the rentable area of the Property, including all tenants occupying at least a full floor or more of space (a "TENANT ESTOPPEL"), Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain such Tenant Estoppels, provided however, Seller shall not be obligated to pay tenants in order to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at Closing Seller delivers such Tenant Estoppels from tenants occupying at least 60% of the rentable area of the Property, Seller may execute and deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, its own certificate with respect to tenants occupying up to an additional 15% of the rentable area of the Property (substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, appropriately modified to reflect that they are certificates of Seller and made to Seller's knowledge; hereinafter, the "SELLER'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") and the statements of Seller contained therein shall survive the Closing until the earlier of (a) one hundred and eighty (180) days after Closing, or (b) the date Purchaser obtains an estoppel certificate from a tenant for whom Seller delivered a Seller's Estoppel Certificate.
(b) The parties agree that each Tenant Estoppel containing non-material exceptions, qualifications or modifications shall be deemed to be an acceptable estoppel certificate for purposes of this Section 7.4.5. In the event a Tenant Estoppel contains a material exception or qualification or alleges a material default by Seller (collectively, a "MATERIAL DEFAULT"), subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.4.5), Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller, on the earlier of five (5) business days after the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel alleging a Material Default or the Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL TERMINATION NOTICE"), time being of the essence as to the giving of such notice. If Purchaser shall timely give the Estoppel Termination Notice, then subject to Seller's option set forth below, this Agreement shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit Note and all interest thereon, and neither party shall have any obligation hereunder other than as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if Tenant Estoppel(s) allege Material Default(s) if (x) such Material Default(s) can be remedied by the performance of work costing not more than $50,000 in the aggregate for all such Tenant Estoppel(s) or the payment of money not exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate with respect to such tenants and (y) Seller elects (by written notice to Purchaser given simultaneously with Seller's delivery of such Tenant Estoppel to Purchaser), at Seller's option (but Seller shall have no obligation), to cure the nonconforming matter set forth in such estoppel by either performing or causing to be performed the work on or prior to the Closing Date, by paying the money on or prior to the Closing Date, or by granting Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount reasonably necessary to perform such work, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser, in which event Seller shall, at or before the Closing, cure, perform, pay or grant Purchaser a credit with respect to the same.

Landlord shall have the right: (a) to withhold consent to the Transfer, if reasonable, (b) to grant consent, (c) to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises affected by any proposed Transfer, in which event Landlord may enter into a lease directly with the proposed Transferee, or (d) to consent on the condition that Landlord be paid, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all subrent or other consideration to be paid to Tenant under the terms of the Transfer in excess of the total rent due hereunder (including, if such Transfer is an assignment or if such Transfer is to occur directly or indirectly in connection with the sale of any assets of Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the consideration attributable to the Transfer of the Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord). The grounds on which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to any requested Transfer include, without limitation, that: (i) the proposed Transferee’s contemplated use of the Premises following the proposed Transfer is reasonably similar to the use of the Premises permitted hereunder, (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease, (iii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient net worth, working capital, anticipated cash flow and other indications of financial strength to meet all of its obligations under this Lease, (iv) the proposed Transfer would breach any covenant of Landlord respecting a radius restriction, location, use or exclusivity in any other lease, financing agreement, or other agreement relating to the Property, and (v) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the possibility of a release of Hazardous Materials is materially increased as a result of the Transfer or if Landlord does not receive sufficient assurances that the proposed Transferee has the experience and financial ability to remedy a violation of Hazardous Materials and to fulfill its obligations under Articles 13 and 14. Landlord need only respond to any request by Tenant hereunder within a reasonable time of not less than ten (10) business days alter receipt of all information and other submission required in connection with such request.

Landlord Work Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, concurrently with Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements, remove the existing demising wall and construct a Building standard demising wall at the Expansion Premises, which shall include studs, acoustical insulation and dry wall ready for finish on the Tenant side only and any necessary penetrations, fire dampers and sound traps (collectively, the “Demising Wall”), which Demising Wall shall be adjacent to the Expansion Premises as set forth on Exhibit A to this Amendment (collectively, the “Landlord Work”). Tenant may not change or alter the Landlord Work. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work no later than forty-five (45) days after the Expansion Delivery Date. In addition, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to the extent required in order to allow Tenant to obtain a certificate of occupancy, or its legal equivalent, for the Expansion Premises for general office use assuming a normal and customary office occupancy density, cause the Landlord Work and the Building Common Areas (including the Base Building restrooms on the seventh (7th) floor of the Building), to comply with applicable building codes and other governmental laws, ordinances and regulations related to handicap access, which were enacted and enforced as of the date of this Amendment. Because Landlord shall be constructing the Landlord Work concurrently with Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements, there will be a certain “overlap” period pursuant to which both Landlord’s representatives, employees, vendors and contractors and Tenant’s representatives, employees, vendors and contractors may be present and performing work in a portion of the Premises. During any such “overlap” period(s) when both parties and/or their respective employees, vendors, contractors or consultants are concurrently performing work in, or accessing, any portion of the Premises, neither party shall unreasonably interfere with or delay the work of the other party and/or its contractors or consultants, and both parties shall mutually coordinate and cooperate with each other, and shall cause their respective employees, vendors, contractors, and consultants to work in harmony with and to mutually coordinate and cooperate with the other’s employees, vendors, contractors and consultants, respectively, to minimize any interference or delay by either party with respect to the other party’s work. In addition, Landlord shall, and shall cause the other Landlord Parties to, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s operations in the Existing Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to move any furniture or other personal property of Tenant in the performance of Landlord Work. Tenant hereby agrees that the construction of the Landlord Work shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease (including this Tenant Work Letter), Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Landlord Work, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Landlord Work or Landlord’s actions in connection with the Landlord Work, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by the Landlord Work or Landlord’s actions in connection with the Landlord Work.
Estoppel Certificate Tenant shall from time to time, upon written request by Landlord or any Lender execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or such Lender, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such request, a statement in writing certifying, without limitation: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, identifying such modifications and certifying that the Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which Rent and any other charges have been paid; (iii) that Landlord is not in default under any provision of this Lease (or if Landlord is in default, specifying each such default) and that, if true, no events or conditions exist which, with the passage of time or notice or both, would constitute a default on the part of Landlord hereunder, (iv) the address to which notices to Tenant shall be sent; (v) the amount of Tenant’s security deposit and (vi) such other factual statements as may be reasonably requested by Landlord; it being understood that any such statement so delivered may be relied upon in connection with any lease, mortgage or transfer. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as Landlord may represent; (ii) not more than one (1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance; (iii) there are no defaults by Landlord; (iv) notices to Tenant shall be sent to Tenant’s Address as set forth in Article 1 of this Lease; and (v) that all other statements contained in such estoppel are true and correct. Notwithstanding the presumptions of this Article, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to deliver said statement.
Tenant Estoppels (a) Each Seller shall prepare and deliver to each Tenant at such Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Tenant Estoppel”) and request each such Tenant to execute and deliver the Tenant Estoppel to such Seller. Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Tenant Estoppels in substantially the same form as Exhibit A attached hereto from each Tenant at such Seller’s Property prior to the Closing, without the obligation to make any payments or grant any concessions under the Leases. If a Tenant returns an executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease as defined below) to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Buyer, or make available on Seller’s transaction website, a copy of such executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable) following such Seller’s receipt of such Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable).
(b) In the event that the Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Initial Closing, it shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets that, on or before the Initial Closing Date, the Sellers deliver to the Buyer from Tenants (other than the GSA and the Tenants of the properties associated with the LLC Interests and the Partnership Interests (as each such term is defined in the Master PSA), unless the applicable joint venture partner elects to sell all of its interest in the applicable joint venture entity and separate agreements for the sale of such properties to the Buyer are entered into as contemplated in Section 3.9(a)(y) and Section 3.9(b)(y), respectively, of the Master PSA) whose Leases comprise at least seventy-five percent (75%) of remaining base rental income over the lease term as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with the schedule delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, signed tenant estoppel certificates that are substantially in the form of either (1) the Tenant Estoppel or (1) except with respect to ROFO Documents and ROFR Documents (for which Tenant Estoppels, and not Lease Required Estoppels, shall be required), with respect to those Leases that contain a required form of specific estoppel that is attached as an exhibit to such Lease, the form of estoppel attached to such Lease (each, a “Lease Required Estoppel”); provided, however, that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, in order to accommodate Serial Closings pursuant to the Master PSA, waive the requirement set forth in this Section 3.4(b), which shall also constitute a waiver of such corresponding requirement in each Other PSA (and in such event, Seller shall be under no obligation to provide a Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate). For purposes of this Section 3.4(b) only, the terms “Tenants” and “Leases” shall refer to the Tenants and the Leases in respect of the Properties to be purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and the “Tenants” and “Leases” (as each such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) in respect of the “Properties” (as such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) to be purchased and sold pursuant to each Other PSA, collectively. No Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel shall be dated earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Initial Closing Date and no such estoppel shall allege any material defaults by the Sellers (except to the extent any such default has been disclosed in writing by the Sellers to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement) or accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under the relevant Lease or contain any materially adverse deviations between (A) the information specified in said Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, and (B) (x) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or (y) the Leases to which such Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, relate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Statement of Lease from the GSA with respect to each Lease to which the GSA is a party. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Sellers to obtain (i) any novation of the applicable Lease with the GSA that may be required by the GSA in order to assign the applicable Lease to the Buyer or its applicable Designated Subsidiary and (ii) any Statement of Lease. In the event the GSA requires any Seller to remain liable under the applicable Lease with the GSA after the Closing Date, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each such Seller against any Losses (as defined below) arising out of such Lease after the Closing Date except to the extent such Losses are the result of any action taken by any such Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such Leases with the GSA.
Notice to Tenants Seller and Purchaser shall each execute, and Purchaser shall deliver to each tenant immediately after the Closing, a notice regarding the sale in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, or such other form as may be required by applicable state law. This obligation on the part of Purchaser shall survive the Closing.
