C.    Within 10 days of filing a request in writing by Lessor, the Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an estoppel certificate (or any other document that may be reasonably required by any perspective mortgagee or purchaser of the property or any position thereof) indicating that there are no defaults in the Lease (or specifying such defaults).  Failure of Lessee to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acknowledgement by lessee that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

 

D.    This lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the building, and to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter enforced against the

building, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or deeds of trust.  Lessee agrees that in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to attorney, without any deductions or set-offs, to the purchaser or any successors thereto on any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof, if requested to do so by purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as the Lessor under this Lease.  Lessee shall, within five (5)  business days of request by the Lessor, execute such further instruments or assurances as the Lessor may reasonably be necessary to confirm the subordination referred to herein.

 

E.     Lessor reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (24 hours conclusively deemed to be reasonable) to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the premises to inspect them, show the premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or Lessee’s, post notices of non-responsibility, or alter, improve, or repair the premises or the building as necessary to comply with building codes or other  applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs, or improvements.

 

F.     The parties identified as Lessees hereunder shall jointly or individually have the right to occupy the leased premises and shall be jointly and severally responsible for all the obligations of the Lessee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this lease in duplicate the day and year first above written.

"This is a comprehensive legal form that could be used as the model for any commercial or business lease. However, whenever a business to business agreement is being put in place, it is important to have independent legal advice to make sure that the agreement accurately represents what the parties have agreed. Let us be clear. There is nothing wrong with using a free legal form like this as a starting point. Anyone can see which clauses do and do not fit, and how they should be modified to match the facts on the ground. There is no magic in the words you have to use. So long as what you write is clear and unambiguous, a court would enforce them. But it is still a good idea to have an attorney or paralegal give the agreement a quick read through before signing it, just to be sure there are no surprises lurking in the future."
