• 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 or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.

• Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements a. Estoppel Certificate by Tenant. Tenant, any sublessee or assignee or all of any portion of Tenant's interest under this Lease, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's written request, a certificate certifying: i. this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications); ii. the dates, if any, to which Rent, Additional Charges and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; iii. no notice has been received by Tenant of any Default which has not been cured, except as otherwise specified in such certificate, or, if there is an uncured Default, specifying the nature of such; iv. Landlord is not in default hereunder and no event which, with the passing of time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Landlord hereunder; and v. certifying such other information about the status of the Lease and the Leased Premises as may be required by Landlord. A failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a request therefor shall be a conclusive admission that, as of the date of the request for such statement: (w) this Lease is unmodified except as may be represented by Landlord in said request and is in full force and effect, (x) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, (y) no rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; and (z) the information regarding the status of the Lease, as represented by Landlord in said request, is true and correct. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any permitted prospective transferee, deed of trust beneficiary or mortgagee of Landlord's interest under this Lease.

• 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.

• Estoppel Certificates Tenant will, (a) within five (5) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord, from time to time, and (b) on the Lease Commencement Date simultaneous with the execution of the Lease Commencement Agreement, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) stating the dates to which the Rent has been paid by Tenant, (iii) stating whether to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord has failed to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such failure of which Tenant has knowledge, (iv) stating that Tenant will give written notice to Landlord’s tender of any failure by Landlord to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, (v) stating the address to which notices to Tenant should be sent, (vi) for the estoppel certificate delivered on the Lease Commencement Date, stating that Tenant accepts the Premises and the improvements therein, and (vii) providing any other such information Landlord reasonably requests relating to this Lease. Any owner of the Building, any prospective purchaser of the Building, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord’s interest, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgage may be rely on any such statement delivered pursuant hereto. Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver on Tenant’s behalf any estoppel certificate to which Tenant does not object with specificity in writing within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of this Section is necessary for Landlord to manage efficiently the financial and other aspects of owning and operating the Project (including facilitating the financing, refinancing, and/or sale of the Building or Project, any part thereof or any interest therein) and that any breach or other violation of the provisions of this Section will result in material damages to Landlord (including any damages to Landlord in connection with its financing, refinancing, or sale of the Project, any part thereof, or any interest therein that results from any such breach or violation). Any breach or other violation of any requirement of this Section will be a default hereunder, entitling Landlord to undertake immediately an action for the damages resulting therefrom (including any consequential, direct, and/or indirect damages) and pursue any other remedies available to Landlord on account of such default, including any remedies available under this Lease or at law or equity.

• 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.

• 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:

• Subordination and Attornment This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that any such subordination to any Mortgage placed on the Premises after the date hereof shall not operate to terminate or defeat this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any notice and cure period. If any foreclosure proceedings are initiated by any Holder or a deed in lieu of such foreclosure is granted, Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Holder, purchaser at foreclosure sale or grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment (provided such Holder or purchaser shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any cure period hereunder). However, in the event of attornment, no Holder, purchaser at foreclosure sale or grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such party becoming Landlord under such attornment); (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent, in excess of Rent for the month in which such party becomes Landlord under such attornment, not actually received by such party; or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such party (provided that Tenant was first given notice of the existence of such Holder in the manner specified in Section 21.2 below). Any Holder may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage by giving written notice to Tenant, and if the Holder of any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage.

• Estoppel Letters Borrower covenants to provide Agent, within ten (10) days after request, an estoppel letter stating (i) the balance of the Obligations, (ii) whether Borrower has any defenses to payment of the Obligations, and (iii) the nature of any defenses to payment of the Obligations. Such balance as presented for confirmation and the nonexistence of defenses shall be presumed if Borrower fails to respond to such a request within the required period.

• Subordination, Attornment (a) This Lease is and shall be subordinate to any encumbrance now of record or recorded after the date of this Lease affecting the Building, other improvements, and land of which the Premises are a part. Such subordination is effective without any further act of Tenant. If any mortgagee, trustee, or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease and such options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease or such options are deeded prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of recording thereof. (b) In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of a sale or exchange of the real property on which the Building is located, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure and sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. (c) Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate an attornment or to make this Lease or any options granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, as the case may be, provided the rights of Tenant are not diminished or adversely affected as a result thereof. (d) Landlord agrees that Tenant’s obligations to subordinate under this Section 31 to any existing and future ground lease, mortgage, or deed of trust (each, an “Encumbrance”) shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a non-disturbance agreement from the party requiring such subordination (which party is referred to for the purposes of this Section as the “Superior Lienor”). Such non-disturbance agreement shall be in recordable form, and shall provide, at a minimum, that (i) Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be interfered with following a foreclosure, or other termination of the Encumbrance, provided Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure periods, (ii) there shall be no diminution in Tenant’s rights under this Lease as a result of a foreclosure or other termination of the Encumbrance, and (iii) the Superior Lienor or any other party acquiring Landlord’s interest in this Lease shall perform all of Landlord’s future obligations hereunder, and (iv) Landlord’s obligation with respect to such a non-disturbance agreement shall be limited to obtaining the non-disturbance agreement in such form as the Superior Lienor generally provides in connection with its standard commercial loans, however, Tenant shall have the right to negotiate, and Landlord shall use its good faith efforts and due diligence in assisting Tenant in the negotiation of, revisions to that non-disturbance directly with the Superior Lienor. Tenant agrees to use its good faith efforts to reach agreement with the Superior Lienor upon acceptable terms and conditions of a non-disturbance agreement. (e) Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent under this Lease to Superior Lienor is conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a nondisturbance agreement, satisfying the requirements of Section 31(d), from any Superior Lienor whose Encumbrance is superior to this Lease as of the Commencement Date.
