Related to Mortgage Subordination Attornment and Modification of Lease

• Modification of Lease Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building or Project require a modification of this Lease, which modification will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are reasonably required therefor and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days following a request therefor. At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor, Tenant agrees to execute a short form of Lease and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days following the request therefor.

• Subordination of Lease This Lease and Lessee’s interest hereunder shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of any deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other Encumbrances heretofore or hereafter granted by Lessor or which otherwise encumber or affect the Leased Property and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, and extensions thereof (all of which are herein called the “Mortgage”); provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage hereafter granted, such subordination is conditioned upon delivery to Lessee of a non-disturbance agreement which provides that Lessee shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Leased Property hereunder following a foreclosure of such Mortgage (or delivery of a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure) and that the holder of such Mortgage or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale (or grantee under such deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure) shall perform all obligations of Lessor under this Lease. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument which may be required to evidence subordination to any Mortgage and to the holder thereof. In the event of Lessee’s failure to deliver such subordination and if the Mortgage does not change any term of the Lease, Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies for breach of covenant hereunder, execute, acknowledge, and deliver the instrument as the agent or attorney-in-fact of Lessee, and Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes Lessor its attorney-in-fact for such purpose, Lessee acknowledging that the appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

• Subordination, Attornment This Lease, at Lessor’s option, shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting any portion of the Premises and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust (including all advances thereunder, renewals, replacements, modifications, supplements, consolidations, and extensions thereof) in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against any portion of the Premises or on or against Lessor’s interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Lessee to effectuate such subordination. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand and without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing the subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases and/or to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trusts as may be required by Lessor or a lender making a loan affecting the Premises; provided that if Lessee attorns as required below, then with respect to any ground or underlying leases, mortgages or deeds of trust not existing as of the date this Lease is signed by Lessor and Lessee, the lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, as applicable, under such mortgage or deed of trust or lessor under such ground or underlying lease shall agree in writing that so long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated upon any foreclosure or any termination of the underlying lease (other than a termination due to its natural expiration). Failure of Lessee to execute such instruments evidencing subordination of this Lease shall constitute a default by Lessee under this Lease. If any mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or lease or the date of the recording thereof. If any proceedings are brought to terminate any ground or underlying leases or for foreclosure, or upon the exercise of the power of sale, under any mortgage or deed of trust covering any portion of the Premises, Lessee shall attorn to the lessor or purchaser upon any such termination, foreclosure or sale and recognize such lessor or purchaser as the Lessor under this Lease provided that such lessor or purchaser agrees that so long as Lessee is not in default hereunder and attorns as required above, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for the full term hereof after any such termination, foreclosure or sale.

• Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”) and to any future Mortgage provided that in the case of a future Mortgage the subordination shall be subject to the proposed lender providing the Tenant such lender’s standard form Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Upon full execution of this Lease by the Landlord and the Tenant, the Landlord agrees to request an SNDA in such lender’s customary form, from the existing lender holding a mortgage on the Property.

• Estoppel Certificate or Subordination Agreement Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under Sections 23 or 27 within 5 days after a second notice requesting such document.

• Subordination and Attornment Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable nondisturbance agreements pursuant to which each existing holder of a mortgage or deed of trust or lessor under a ground lease shall agree that Tenant shall not be disturbed in the event of sale, foreclosure or other actions so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant covenants and agrees that, within ten (10) business days from Landlord’s written request, it will execute without further consideration instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee subordinating this Lease in the manner requested by Landlord to all ground or underlying leases and to the lien of any mortgage or any deed of trust or other encumbrance which may now or hereafter affect the Premises or the Project, or any portion thereof, together with all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof; provided that any lienor or encumbrancer relying on such subordination or such additional agreements will covenant with Tenant that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall not be disturbed in the event of sale, foreclosure or other actions so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of Landlord following any transfer of such interest either voluntarily or by operation of law and to recognize such successor as Landlord under this Lease. However, if Landlord or any such ground lessor or mortgagee so elects, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance upon or including the Premises regardless of date of recording, and Tenant will execute a statement in writing to such effect at Landlord's request

• Subordination to Mortgage This Lease, and any sublease entered into by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them, and the rights of any assignee of Landlord or of any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor under any of the foregoing, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that such subordination in the case of any future ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them shall be conditioned on Tenant’s receipt from the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant (i) confirming that so long as Tenant is not in material default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period (for which purpose the occurrence and continuance of any event of default under Section 14.1 hereof shall be deemed to be “material”), Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity and (ii) agreeing that the benefit of such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be transferable to any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and to any other assignee or subtenant that is acceptable to the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor at the time of transfer. If any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee elects to have this Lease be an encumbrance upon the Center prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or leaseback lease or other security arrangement and gives notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date thereof or the date of recording thereof. Tenant, and any sublessee, shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sate/leaseback lessor or assignee to evidence the subordination herein set forth, subject to the conditions set forth above, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or other security arrangement, as the case may be. Upon any default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or assignment, provided that Tenant has received such a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the applicable party, Tenant (and any sublessee) shall, notwithstanding any subordination hereunder, attorn to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, leaseback lessor or assignee thereunder upon demand and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest, and shall execute and deliver any instrument or instruments confirming the attornment herein provided for. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, neither the Premises, the Building nor the Center is subject to any existing ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security.

• Subordination and Attornment Requirements All Non-Residential Leases, regardless of whether Lender’s consent or approval is required, will specifically include the following provisions:

• SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT Simultaneously upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall execute a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT J. Landlord shall return a fully executed Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT J executed by Landlord and the Lender named therein, in recordable form, to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts (which efforts shall not require the expenditure of funds or the threat (or commencement) of litigation) to obtain a so-called "nondisturbance agreement" from any future Landlord's Mortgagee in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT J or another form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and such Landlord's Mortgagee or other institutional lenders (either the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT J or such other reasonably acceptable form being herein referred to as the "NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage under Section 12.(a) and the Attornment of Tenant to any future Landlord Mortgagee under Section 12.(b) shall be conditioned upon such future Landlord's Mortgagee's execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.

• SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE At the request from time to time by one or more holders of an Encumbrance that may hereafter be placed upon the Leased Property or any part thereof, and any and all renewals, replacements, modifications, consolidations, spreaders and extensions thereof, Lessee will subordinate this Lease and all of Lessee's rights and estate hereunder to each such Encumbrance and will attorn to and recognize such holder (or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such Encumbrance or a holder by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as the case may be) as Lessor under this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining, subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; provided that each such institutional holder simultaneously with or prior to recording any such Encumbrance executes and delivers a written agreement in recordable form (a) consenting to this Lease and agreeing that, notwithstanding any such other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, right, title or interest, or any default, expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or other act or omission under, pursuant to or affecting any of the foregoing, Lessee shall not be disturbed in peaceful enjoyment of the Leased Property nor shall this Lease be terminated or canceled at any time, except in the event Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly set forth herein; (b) agreeing that it will be bound by all the terms of this Lease, perform and observe all of Lessor's obligations set forth herein; and (c) agreeing that all proceeds of the casualty insurance described in Article 13 of this Lease and all Awards described in Article 14 will be made available to Lessor for restoration of the Leased Property as and to the extent required by this Lease, subject only to reasonable regulation regarding the manner of disbursement and application thereof. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor or the holder of an Encumbrance any written agreement required by this Article within ten days of written request thereof by Lessor or such holder of an Encumbrance. Lessee agrees to execute from time to time, at the request of Lessor, an institutional investor of Lessor's or a Facility Mortgagee, a certificate setting forth any defaults of Lessor hereunder and the dates through which Rent has been paid and such other matters as may be reasonably requested.
