C. To secure the Loan, Landlord has or will encumber the Property by entering into a mortgage or deed of trust in favor of Mortgagee (as amended, increased, renewed, extended, spread, consolidated, severed, restated, or otherwise changed from time to time, the “Mortgage”) to be recorded in the Office of the Clerk-Recorder for the County of Santa ▇▇▇▇▇, State of California.

E. Tenant and Mortgagee desire to agree upon the relative priorities of their interests in the Property and their rights and obligations if certain events occur.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, Tenant and Mortgagee agree:
1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement.
a. Foreclosure Event. A “Foreclosure Event” means: (i) foreclosure under the Mortgage; (ii) any other exercise by Mortgagee of rights and remedies (whether under the Mortgage or under applicable law, including bankruptcy law) as holder of the Loan and/or the Mortgage, as a result of which a Mortgagee becomes owner of the Property; or (iii) delivery by Landlord to Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) of a deed or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in the Property in lieu of any of the foregoing.
b. Former Landlord. A “Former Landlord” means Landlord and any other party that was landlord under the Lease at any time before the occurrence of any attornment under this Agreement.
c. Offset Right. An “Offset Right” means any right or alleged right of Tenant to any offset, defense (other than one arising from actual payment and performance, which payment and performance would bind a Successor Landlord pursuant to this Agreement), claim, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent or performance of Tenant’s other obligations under the Lease, arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.
d. Rent. The “Rent” means any fixed rent, base rent or additional rent under the Lease.
e. Successor Landlord. A “Successor Landlord” means any party that becomes owner of the Property as the result of a Foreclosure Event.
f. Termination Right. A “Termination Right” means any right of Tenant to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.
g. Other Capitalized Terms. If any capitalized term is used in this Agreement and no separate definition is contained in this Agreement, then such term shall have the same respective definition as set forth in the Lease.
2. Subordination. The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended, shall be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the terms conditions and provisions of the Mortgage, the lien imposed by the Mortgage, and all advances made under the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to the Lease.
3. Nondisturbance, Recognition and Attornment.
a. No Exercise of Mortgage Remedies Against Tenant. So long as the Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure periods (an “Event of Default”), Mortgagee shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
b. Recognition and Attornment. Upon Successor Landlord taking title to the Property (i) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease; (ii) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease; and (iii) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms, between Successor Landlord and Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges notice that pursuant to the Mortgage and assignment of rents, leases and profits, Landlord has granted to the Mortgagee an absolute, present assignment of the Lease and Rents which provides that Tenant continue making payments of Rents and other amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease to the Landlord and to recognize the rights of Landlord under the Lease until notified otherwise in writing by the Mortgagee. After receipt of such notice from Mortgagee, the Tenant shall thereafter make all such payments directly to the Mortgagee or as the Mortgagee may otherwise direct. Landlord consents to the foregoing and waives any right, claim or demand which Landlord may have against Tenant by reason of such payments to Mortgagee or as Mortgagee directs.

c. Further Documentation. The provisions of this Article 3 shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents.
