(ii) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of this Lease beyond the Option Terms hereinabove provided. Additionally, in no event shall Tenant have the right to exercise the second Option Term if Tenant fails to timely and property exercise the first Option Term. If Tenant shall elect to exercise the aforesaid option, it shall do so by giving Landlord notice of its election (the “Election Notice”) not later than [*] months, nor sooner than [*] months, prior to the expiration of the initial Term (or the first Option Term, as applicable). If Tenant fails to give any such Election Notice to Landlord timely or the Conditions are neither satisfied nor waived by Landlord, the Term of this Lease shall automatically terminate no later than the end of the initial Term (or, if previously exercised, the first Option Term), and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Lease, it being agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the giving of such Election Notice. If Tenant shall extend the Term hereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2.2, such extension shall (subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, unless waived by Landlord) be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents, but Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute an agreement confirming the Annual Fixed Rent for the Option Term. The “Conditions” are that, (a) as of the date of the Election Notice there shall exist no Default of Tenant, and (b) the named Tenant as set forth in Section 1.1 (or any Permitted Transferee) shall continue to lease the entire Premises and not have subleased (other than a sublease to a Permitted Transferee) more than thirty percent (30%) (on an aggregate basis together with any other then-in-effect subleases) of the Premises.

(ii) the Premises are fit for immediate occupancy and use “as is”, (x) require no additional work by Landlord or Tenant,
(y) are appropriate and desired for immediate occupancy by Tenant, and (z) contain no work that has been carried out thereon by Tenant, its subtenant(s), or its or their successors-in-interest during the Term of this Lease which has diminished the rental value of the Premises, and (iii) that in the event the Premises have been destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the commencement of the Option Term, they have been fully restored. The appraisers shall also take into consideration the rent and applicable market concessions contained in leases for comparable space in the Building, or in comparable buildings in the Carlsbad submarket of San Diego, California, for comparable periods of time.
All parking spaces in the Parking Facility shall be used for the parking of passenger vehicles of Tenant and its employees and invitees only. If Tenant uses any portion of the Parking Facility for storage, in no event shall such storage use be permitted if such storage will reduce the number of parking spaces available for use by passenger vehicles in the Parking Facility below the minimum amount of parking required by applicable law. Such storage shall be solely for storing Tenant’s dry goods and inventory, all to the extent used by Tenant in connection with the Permitted Uses under this Lease. In no event shall any portion of the Parking Facility be used by Tenant (or any party under Tenant) for the purpose of storing flammable or explosive materials or liquids or any other Hazardous Materials, or for any use that results in an increased rate of insurance on the Property, the Building and/or the Premises, or for any use in violation of applicable laws. Tenant’s use of Parking Facility for storage uses is subject to Tenant’s receipt (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) of all applicable governmental approvals, consents, permits and/or licenses. Tenant shall be solely responsible for security for any items stored in the Parking Facility, and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any security or monitoring services of any kind with respect to the same. Tenant shall not allow any of its vehicles, or any vehicles on the Parking Facility through Tenant, to be left in the Parking Facility overnight. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not required to provide any security or security services for the Parking Facility. If the whole or any part of such personal property shall be lost, destroyed or damaged by fire, water (including, without limitation, leaks from pipes, groundwater, or flooding from any other source) or other casualty, by theft or from any other cause, no part of such loss or damage is to be charged to or borne by Landlord unless the same is caused by the willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, or employees. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the owners

of the vehicles parked in the Parking Facility shall be solely responsible for insuring said vehicles. Tenant shall indemnify and shall hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, loss, cost, or damage to the extent arising out of the use by Tenant and its employees and invitees of the Parking Facility, provided that such indemnification obligations shall not apply to any claim for liability to the extent arising out of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition, all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, Landlord hereby pre-approves the subcontractors listed on Exhibit H attached hereto (in each case, with respect to the type of work identified therein) in connection with the Tenant’s Work.

In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the Term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Tax Year, or should the Tax Year or period of assessment of real estate taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, then the amount of Taxes which may be otherwise payable by Tenant as provided in this Section
4.2.1 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 360 day Tax Year.
“Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, excises and other charges and impositions which are general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of any kind or nature which are levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental authority upon or against or with respect to the Property, Landlord or the owner or lessee of personal property used by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the Property, or any taxes in lieu thereof, and additional types of taxes to supplement real estate taxes due to legal limits imposed thereon. If, at any time, any tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord, either wholly or partially in substitution for, or in addition to, real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Property, such tax or excise on rents or other taxes shall be included in Taxes; provided, however, Taxes shall not include franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or income (except to the extent that a tax on income or revenue is levied solely on rental revenues and not on other types of income and then only from rental revenue generated by the Property) tax assessed on Landlord. Taxes also shall include all court costs, and reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and accountants’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Landlord in analyzing and contesting Taxes through and including all appeals. Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment.
In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the Term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Operating Year, then the amount of Tenant’s Insurance Cost Obligation which may be payable by Tenant as provided in this Section 4.2.2 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 360 day Operating Year.
“Insurance Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with maintaining insurance against loss or damage with respect to the portions of the Property constituting Landlord’s Repair Items (collectively, "Landlord's Insured Property") on a Special Form or equivalent type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles and self-insured retentions as Landlord may determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of Landlord's Insured Property. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected by Landlord. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building or Property, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, to the extent consistent with the coverages being maintained by landlords of buildings within the Carlsbad submarket that are comparable to the Building. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required
14

by a "Superior Mortgagee" (as defined in Article 9 below) to the extent consistent with industry-standard coverages required by lenders for comparable buildings. Any or all of Landlord's insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, or by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under a program of self-insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply with Landlord's insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or specific use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5.3, and insofar as may be permitted by the terms of the property insurance policies carried by it, each party hereby releases the other with respect to any claim which it might otherwise have against the other party for any loss or damage to its property to the extent such damage is actually covered or would have been covered by policies of property insurance required by this Lease to be carried by the respective parties hereunder. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to exhaust any and all claims against its insurer(s) prior to commencing an action against Landlord for any loss covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder.

Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount of the Security Deposit. Any fee or other charge payable in connection with a transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant to the issuing bank upon demand of Landlord, and if not so paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, then such fee or charge may be paid by Landlord and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any grace period or cure periods which are otherwise applicable under Section 8.1 hereof, shall not apply to any of the foregoing, and, specifically, if Tenant fails to comply with the requirements of subsection (f) above or if Tenant shall fail to maintain the Letter of Credit in the full amount of the Security Deposit after any draw thereon by Landlord, Landlord shall have the immediate right to draw upon the Letter of Credit in full and hold the proceeds thereof as a cash security deposit. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank (the “Bank”) that has a credit rating with respect to certificates of deposit, short term deposits or commercial paper of at least P-2 (or equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc., or at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation. Landlord hereby pre-approved HSBC as the Bank, and the form of the Letter of Credit shall be as set forth on Exhibit I, attached hereto. If the issuer’s credit rating is reduced below P-2 (or equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc., or at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or if the financial condition of the issuer changes in any other materially adverse way, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute Letter of Credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to obtain such substitute Letter of Credit within [*] business days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s demand therefor (with no other notice, or grace or cure period being applicable thereto) shall entitle Landlord immediately to draw upon the existing Letter of Credit in full, without any further notice to Tenant. Landlord may use, apply or retain the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the same extent that Landlord may use, apply or retain any cash security deposit, as set forth herein. Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, at Landlord’s election. If Landlord draws against the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall, within [*] days after notice from Landlord, provide Landlord with either an additional Letter of Credit in the amount so drawn or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit restoring the amount thereof to the amount initially provided. Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate promptly, at its expense with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to execute and deliver to Landlord

entering into any such service contracts (or any material amendment to any such service contracts), Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all such service contracts, as well as provide Landlord with records of material repairs made pursuant to such service contracts upon request. Subject to Section 4.5.3, (and subject to the provisions of Article 7 below which shall govern in the event of a Casualty), all damage to the Building or to any portion thereof caused by or resulting from any act, omission (where there is a duty to act), neglect or improper conduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, or invitees or the moving of Tenant’s property or equipment into, within or out of the Premises, and any Tenant’s Repair Items requiring structural or nonstructural repair, shall be repaired at Tenant’s expense by (A) Tenant, if the required repairs are nonstructural in nature and do not affect any Building system, or
(B) at Landlord’s option, by Landlord if the required repairs are structural in nature, involve replacement of exterior window glass, or affect any Building system. All Tenant repairs shall be of good quality utilizing new construction materials. If, however, Tenant fails to perform such maintenance, or to make such repairs or replacements, then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), after written notice to Tenant and Tenant's failure to perform such maintenance, or to make such repairs or replacements, within [*] business days thereafter, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, administrative costs, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such maintenance, repairs and/or replacements within [*] days following receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor (accompanied by reasonable documentation).

If Tenant intends to enter into any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall, not later than [*] days prior to the proposed commencement of such sublease or assignment, give Landlord notice thereof, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the proposed subtenant or assignee, the terms and conditions of the proposed sublease or assignment and information regarding the financial condition of the proposed subtenant or assignee. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with such additional information with respect to such subtenant or assignee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, Landlord may elect (a) to terminate the Term of this Lease if Tenant intends to assign this Lease, or to sublease (including expansion options) more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for a term (including extension options) of more than half of the remaining term hereof or (b) to exclude from the Premises, for the term of such proposed sublease, the portion thereof to be sublet (the “Proposed Sublet Space”) if the conditions set forth in (a) do not prevail, by giving notice to Tenant of such election not later than [*] days after receiving notice of such intent from Tenant. If Landlord shall give such notice within such [*] day period, upon the later to occur of (A) the proposed date of commencement of such proposed sublease or assignment, or (B) the date which is [*] days after Landlord’s notice, the Term of this Lease shall terminate or the Premises shall be reduced to exclude the portion of the Premises intended for subletting, in which case Annual Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Percentage shall be correspondingly reduced; however, in such case of Proposed Sublet Space requires the installation of a new demising wall, the effective date shall be the latest of (A) or (B) or the date that Landlord shall install any demising wall necessary to separate the Proposed Sublet Space from the balance of the Premises. If Landlord shall not give such notice, but Tenant shall not enter into such sublease or assignment on the terms and conditions set forth in such notice from Tenant within [*] days of the initially proposed sublease or assignment commencement date and shall still desire to enter into any sublease or assignment, the first sentence of this paragraph shall again become applicable.
24
MACROBUTTON DocID \\4157-4592-2399 v1



If Landlord shall not elect to terminate the Term of this Lease or to exclude the Proposed Sublet Space from the Premises, then Landlord shall not unreasonably condition, delay or withhold its consent to any sublease or assignment that is not a Permitted Transfer, provided that there is no then-existing Default of Tenant, and provided that, in addition to any other grounds for withholding of consent, Landlord may withhold its consent if in Landlord’s good faith judgment: (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have a financial condition reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (ii) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇; (iii) the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant is, or the intended use of any part of the Premises, would be, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, inconsistent with first- class office space or any covenants, conditions or restrictions binding on Landlord or applicable to the Property;
(iv) intentionally omitted; or (v) any such sublease shall result in the Premises being occupied by more than [*] parties (including Tenant) at any one time.
Except for Permitted Transfers, any transaction or series of transactions, whether by merger, transfer of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests, or otherwise (excluding transfers of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests effected through a nationally recognized securities exchange), that results in a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. “Change of Control” means (a) any change of direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests of Tenant, (b) any change of direct or indirect power (whether or not exercised) to elect a majority of the directors of Tenant, or (c) the transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2.1, a sublease or an assignment to an entity that is (i) an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (ii) an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interests (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, or (iii) an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant, shall not be deemed an assignment or sublease which requires Landlord's prior written consent under Section 6.2.1, provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any non-confidential documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate,
(b) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (c) in connection with an assignment, the assignee shall have a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (and excluding goodwill, organization costs and other intangible assets) at least equal to [*] Dollars ($[*]), (d) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least [*] days prior to the effective date of any such assignment, and (e) any such transfer shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and the transferee shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such transfer, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In the event that a proposed assignee under an assignment pursuant to this paragraph does not have a tangible net worth that meets the tangible net worth requirement set forth above in this paragraph, the assignment to such proposed assignee shall be a transfer that shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.1. Landlord shall hold all documents and information obtained from Tenant in connection with this Section 6.2.1 in strict confidence and shall not disclose such documents and information to any third parties other than Landlord’s financial, legal, and space planning consultants and to investors, lenders, consultants, accountants and assignees, or to the extent that disclosure is mandated by court order or applicable laws. A transfer specified in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be referred to as a “Permitted Transfer” and the transferee under any such Permitted Transfer shall be referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” “Control,” as used in this Section 6.2.1, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. Landlord shall have no right to any Transfer Premium or any other sums or economic consideration resulting from a Permitted Transfer.
If Landlord consents to a sublease or assignment that is not a Permitted Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord [*] percent ([*]%) of any Transfer Premium, received by Tenant from such subtenant or assignee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such subtenant or assignee in connection with the sublease or assignment in excess of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the sublease or assignment on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the
25
MACROBUTTON DocID \\4157-4592-2399 v1



reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the sublease or assignment, (ii) any free base rent and other market concessions provided to the subtenant or assignee, (iii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the sublease or assignment, and
(iv) any other reasonable, out of pocket costs paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, such as legal fees in connection with the sublease or assignment. Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by transferee to Tenant in connection with such sublease or assignment, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the transferee in connection with such sublease or assignment.
No subletting or assignment (including any Permitted Transfer) shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s written approval in the case of any other subletting or assignment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with documenting Landlord’s consent to any assignment or sublease.

[*].
If the Premises or any part of the Premises are vacated or abandoned, or if Landlord takes possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by applicable law, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent and other charges payable hereunder as the same becomes due. Landlord shall also have the right to make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall apply to any unpaid amounts due Landlord hereunder the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting. Tenant hereby waives all right to receive all or any portion of the net proceeds of any such reletting. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting. If Landlord is required by applicable laws to mitigate its damages under this Lease: (i) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other comparable space in the San ▇▇▇▇ market area; (ii) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord leases any other properties or portions thereof in the Carlsbad market area before reletting all or any portion of the Premises; (iii) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a replacement tenant who does not, in Landlord’s good faith opinion, have sufficient financial resources to operate the Premises in a first-class manner and to fulfill all of the obligations in connection with the lease as and when the same become due; and (iv) any failure to mitigate as required herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder.
In the event that Tenant should breach this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent and other charges payable hereunder as it becomes due hereunder. Additionally, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all costs of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, and all costs, including attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursement, to protect the Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or any other present or future laws in the event of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior Mortgagee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee may, at its option, subordinate the Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage of which it is the lessor or holder to this Lease by giving Tenant [*] days prior written notice of such election, whereupon this Lease shall, irrespective of dates of execution, delivery and recording, be superior to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage and no other documentation shall be necessary to effect such change.
Landlord represents that the Property is not subject to any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage as of the Date of this Lease.
If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise (except pursuant to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph), then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein called “Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument in commercially reasonable form that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Lease) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant, (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of this Lease subsequent to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, or by any previous prepayment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month, which was not approved in writing by the Successor Landlord, (e) liable to Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord’s interest in the Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by Landlord under this Lease to render the Premises ready for occupancy by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or (g) required to remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.
