4. Guaranties. Section 33 of the Existing Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
"33 Guaranties. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or the applicable Guaranty to the contrary, Landlord agrees to execute a commercially reasonable form of subordination agreement that subordinates Landlord’s rights under a Guaranty to an institutional lender’s or third party financing source’s rights with respect to a contemplated financing by the applicable Guarantor, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: 1) the subordination of the Guaranty is a requirement of the lender or other third party financing source to provide the financing to the Guarantor; and 2) at the time of Landlord’s execution of such subordination agreement, (a) neither Tenant nor any Guarantor is then in default of its obligations under the Lease or any Guaranty; and (b) neither Tenant nor any Guarantor has defaulted on its obligations under either the Lease or any Guaranty more than two (2) times during the immediately prior six (6) month period."

6. No Default. Each of Tenant and Landlord represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of its knowledge, Landlord and Tenant are not in default of any of their respective obligations under the Existing Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.
