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.
Subordination, Attornment (a) This Lease, without any further instrument, shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of any and all mortgages and deeds of trust which may hereafter be placed on, against or affect Lessor’s estate in the real property of which the Premises form a part, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the beneficiary of any deed of trust executed by Lessor as trustor after the date hereof, to execute a recognition and non-disturbance agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee, Lessee and such beneficiary which provides that so long as Lessee is not in default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) hereunder (1) this Lease shall not be terminated, and (2) that upon acquiring title to the Property by foreclosure or otherwise such holder shall recognize all of Lessee’s rights hereunder which accrue thereafter.
(b) In confirmation of such subordination, Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver within ten (10) days of Lessor’s request any certificate or other instrument which Lessor may reasonably deem proper to evidence such subordination in commercially reasonable form (which document recognizes Lessee’s rights under this Lease); provided, however, that if any person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring the real property of which the Premises form a part by any sale, sales and/or other proceedings under such mortgages and/or deeds of trust, shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect in the same manner and with like effect as if such person or persons had been named as Lessor herein, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as aforesaid, and Lessee hereby attorns and agrees to attorn to such person or persons in writing upon request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease with respect to any deed of trust or mortgage entered into by Lessor following the date of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially reasonable form from the beneficiary of such deed of trust or mortgage. Lessor represents there is not currently a mortgage encumbering the Property.
Estoppel Certificates (a) Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Base Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that Landlord is not to Tenant's knowledge in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (v) such other representations or information with respect to Tenant or the Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property may require. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.
(b) If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such ten (10)-day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month's Base Rent or other charges have been paid in advance: and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.
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.
Estoppel Certificate Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in form attached as Exhibit B, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective lenders, investors or purchasers of the Building or the Property. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten days after Landlord's request therefor shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and sue xxx damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant's failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any interest in them.
Subordination Attornment Non Disturbance This Lease shall be subordinate to any of Lessee's mortgagee's mortgages or deeds of trust and all amendments, renewals or modifications thereof now or hereafter in effect. This subordination shall be shelf-operative and no further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any such mortgagee. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Lessee shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that Lessor or mortgages may request. Lessee hereby constitutes Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument for and one behalf of Lessee upon Lessee's failure to do so within fifteen (15) days of a request to do so. In the event of the enforcement by Lessor's mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by such mortgage or deed of trust, Lessee will, upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Lessor as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the Lessee of such successor in interest without change in terms or other provisions of such Lease provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Lessor; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of such trustee or such beneficiary or such successor in interest; and provided, however, that no new successor in interest shall disturb the possession of the Lessee under this Lease so long as the Lessee is not in default of any of the terms or provisions contained in the Lease. Upon request by such successor in interest, Lessee shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein. The subordination of interest provided by this paragraph shall not, however, affect or diminish the Lessee's rights under this Lease.
Subordination and Attornment (a) Except as provided in Subsection (c) below and subject to the provisions of subsection (d) below, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of Landlord's Mortgage.
(b) While Subsection (a) of this Section 8.11 is self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary, Tenant shall, in confirmation of such subordination, upon demand, at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or a holder of Landlord's Mortgage any and all instruments requested by either of them to evidence such subordination.
(c) Tenant shall, upon demand, at any time or times, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord or to a holder of Landlord's Mortgage, without expense, any and all instruments that may be necessary to make this Lease superior to the lien of Landlord's Mortgage.
(d) Tenant shall, at the option of any holder of Landlord's Mortgage or any other purchaser at a foreclosure sale who shall hereafter succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease (the "Purchaser"), attorn to and recognize such Purchaser as Tenant's landlord under this Lease from and after the foreclosure and for the balance of the Lease Term and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that may be necessary to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such Purchaser and Tenant, subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; provided, however, that the Purchaser (including its successors and assigns) shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord under the Lease, (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior Landlord under the Lease, (iii) bound by any Base Rental or other payments which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior Landlord under the Lease, or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made after the date of the foreclosed Landlord's Mortgage without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee thereunder. The provisions of this subsection (d) shall survive any termination of this Lease resulting from a foreclosure of Landlord's Mortgage.
(e) If Tenant fails at any time to execute, acknowledge and deliver any of the instruments provided for by Subsections 8.11(b), (c) and (d) above within ten (10) days after Landlord's demand so to do, Landlord, in addition to the remedies allowed by Article VI, may execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all of such instruments as the attorney-in-fact of Tenant and in its name, place and stead, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as such attorney-in-fact.
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, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (i) SNDA; Landlord's Default Under Mortgage. Within sixty (60) days after the full execution and delivery of this Lease by and to each of the parties, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to Tenant an executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant ("SNDA") from each mortgagee and ground lessor identified on Schedule 3, hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate at all times to those mortgages and ground leases that now encumber the Premises and are identified on Schedule 3 hereto subject to, and only in the event of, Tenant's prior receipt of an SNDA executed by each such mortgagee. In the event that Landlord shall fail to perform any of its obligations under any mortgage, ground lease or other instrument now or in the future encumbering the Premises and such failure shall continue beyond any cure period provided for in such instrument, then Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform or endeavor to perform Landlord's obligation, at Tenant's expense; and, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand from Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in doing so, or, if Landlord shall fail or refuse to reimburse Tenant therefor, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset all such costs and expenses against the Rent or Additional Rent.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph and anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 17.5, below, Landlord shall not, without the prior written consent of the Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in each instance, (a) voluntarily mortgage, encumber, transfer, option or permit any liens to encumber, or renew, modify, consolidate, replace or extend any current mortgages encumbering, the Premises or Landlord Personalty (the foregoing collectively referred to herein as "Encumbrances"), other than Tenant's option to purchase the Premises and Landlord Personalty as provided in Article 33 herein; or (b) otherwise act so as to adversely affect the state of title to, or marketability of title to, the Premise or Landlord Personalty. In the event Tenant consents to any future mortgages or to any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement or extension of any current mortgages, Landlord shall obtain from all such mortgagee(s) of Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which shall specifically provide, among other things that, in the event of the foreclosure of any such mortgage arising out of any default thereunder, (x) possession and the rights of Tenant under this Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice and grace period pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (c) such mortgagee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including Tenant's option to purchase the Premises pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 33 hereof.
(iii) Tenant further agrees, subject to the terms of the SNDA entered into between Tenant and the mortgagee, to attorn to the holder of any such mortgage following the foreclosure of such mortgage. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 17.2 to the contrary, upon notice by Tenant to a mortgagee, this Lease shall become superior, in whole or in part, to the lien of any mortgage held on the property by said Mortgagee.
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.
