Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: I. Consent of Lessor. Lessor consents to the subleasing of that part of the Premises described in the Sublease Agreement. II. Continuation of Sublease after Termination of Prime Lease. If the Prime Lease Agreement terminates after the Building has been substantially completed and before the expiration of the then current term, unless the termination results from condemnation or other catastrophe, the Sublease Agreement, if then in existence, shall continue with the same force and effect as if Lessor and Sublessee had entered into a lease agreement for a term equal to the then unexpired term of the Sublease Agreement, as of the termination of the Prime Lease Agreement, containing the same terms, conditions, and covenants as those contained in the Sublease Agreement, including the rights of renewal. III. Termination of Prime Lease Prior to Substantial Completion. If the Prime Lease Agreement terminates during the term before substantial completion of the Building and Lessor shall, within       days after such termination, notify Sublessee that it has elected to and (Number) will carry out and perform the obligations of Lessee under the Prime Lease Agreement as to the completion of the Building, then the Sublease Agreement shall continue for the balance of the term mentioned in this Agreement with the same force and effect as if Lessor and Sublessee had entered into a lease agreement as of the termination of the Prime Lease Agreement containing the same terms, covenants, and conditions as those contained in the Sublease Agreement, including the rights of renewal, and for a term equal to the then unexpired term of the Sublease Agreement. IV. Definition of Substantial Completion. For the purposes of Sections II and III of this Agreement, the Building shall be deemed to have been substantially completed if the completion can be accomplished at a cost of not more than $       . V. Attornment of Sublessee to Lessor. From and after the termination of the Prime Lease Agreement and if Sublessee's right of possession shall be preserved: Attornment Agreement Page 2 of 6 A. The Sublessee will attorn as Tenant to Lessor, and Lessor will accept such attornment. B. Lessor will have the same remedies by entry, action, or otherwise for the nonperformance of any Agreement contained in the Sublease Agreement for the recovery of rent, the doing of any waste, or any cause of forfeiture as Lessee had or would have had if the Prime Lease Agreement had not been terminated. C. After the attornment, Sublessee shall have the same remedies against Lessor for the breach of any Agreement contained in the Sublease Agreement that Sublessee might have had against Lessee if the prime lease Agreement had not been terminated, provided, however, that Lessor shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses that Sublessee might have against Lessee, Lessor shall not be liable for any act or omission of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be bound by any rent or additional rent that Sublessee might have paid in advance to Lessee. D. Lessor and Sublessee will enter into a Supplemental Agreement containing the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Sublease Agreement with such changes as may be necessary by reason of the substitution of Lessor in the place of Lessee, except that Lessor shall have such reasonable time as may be necessary to complete the Building, subject to delays that may be caused by strikes, acts of God, and other contingencies beyond the control of Lessor. VI. Failure of Lessee to Renew Prime Lease. A. If the rights of renewal given to Sublessee in the Sublease Agreement are rendered ineffectual by the failure of Lessee or its successors or assigns to exercise the right of renewal given in the Prime Lease Agreement, Sublessee may, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, give notice and obtain a lease agreement of the character referred to in this Section. B. If the right of renewal contained in the prime lease Agreement is allowed to lapse, Sublessee may, within       days after the lapse, notify Lessor of Sublessee's (Number) election to enter into a lease Agreement with Lessor. As soon as possible, Lessor and Sublessee then will enter into a form of lease Agreement that Sublessee would have been entitled to obtain from the then holder of Lessee's interest in the prime lease Agreement if the lapsed right of renewal in the Prime Lease Agreement and Sublessee's right of renewal in the Sublease Agreement had been seasonably exercised. C. The form of lease agreement and agreement that Sublessee may obtain under this Section shall be based on the Sublease Agreement as presently drafted, with any changes that may be necessary by reason of the substitution of Lessor in place of Lessee and shall not be affected by any subsequent modification. D. Sublessee shall have no rights under this section if it shall fail to give the above- stated notice within the       -day period. (Number) Attornment Agreement Page 3 of 6 E.

F. Any notice given by Sublessee shall be ineffectual, at the election of Lessor, to give Sublessee any right or rights under this section if, when any such notice shall be given, the improvements covered by the Prime Lease Agreement shall be in such a state as to require the expenditure of $       or more to put the improvements into good and usable condition. VII. Sale by Lessor. Lessor, as used in this instrument, signifies only the owner for the time being of the Premises. In the event of any sale of the Premises, the owner shall be and is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Lessor under this Agreement, provided, however, the provisions of this Agreement shall bind any subsequent owner of the Premises. VIII. Default by Lessee. If any defaults are made by Lessee under the Prime Lease Agreement, Lessor agrees, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, that Sublessee may, but shall not be obligated to, make payments to cure the default. Lessor agrees to accept any sums so tendered if tendered prior to the expiration of any grace period, provided, however, that Lessor shall not be obligated to accept any payments that would have the effect of waiving any claim for damages that Lessor may, at any time, have against Lessee or its successors in interest unless the payment by Sublessee is of the entire amount of the claim for damages then or later to accrue. IX. Agreements between Lessee and Sublessee. Sublessee or its successors or assigns may not enter into any Agreement that modifies, surrenders, or merges the Sublease Agreement. Agreements made in contravention of the provisions of this section have no force or effect as to Lessor. X. Liability Imposed by Lessor.

XII. Severability The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement will not and shall not be deemed to affect the validity of any other provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, the parties agree that the remaining provisions shall be deemed to be in full force and effect as if they had been executed by both parties subsequent to the expungement of the invalid provision. Attornment Agreement Page 4 of 6 XIII. No Waiver The failure of either party to this Agreement to insist upon the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the waiver of any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as subsequently waiving any such terms and conditions, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred.
