21. SUBORDINATION.

21.1 This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to any present or future Mortgage and to any and all advances made under any present or future Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any or all of same; provided, however, that Tenant’s quiet possession will not be disturbed so long as no Event of Default has occurred. Tenant agrees, with respect to any such Mortgage, that no documentation other than this Lease shall be required to evidence such subordination. If any Mortgagee shall elect for this Lease to be superior to the lien of its Mortgage and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, then this Lease shall automatically be deemed prior to such Mortgage whether this Lease is dated earlier or later than the date of said Mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Tenant agrees to execute such documents as may be further required to evidence such subordination (provided that such document includes the Mortgagee’s agreement not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession so long as an Event of Default has not occurred) or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any Mortgage, and by failing to do so within five (5) days after written demand, Tenant shall have committed an Event of Default under the Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 21.1 above, it shall be a condition to the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage that hereafter encumbers the Premises that Landlord shall have delivered to Tenant a Non-Disturbance Agreement, executed and acknowledged by the holder of such Mortgage, as lender.

21.2 If the holder of such Mortgage, as lender, requests modifications to the Non-Disturbance Agreement at the time of execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such requested modifications.

22. BROKER. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that they dealt with no broker in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Lease. Landlord and Tenant will indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) for all brokerage commissions or finder’s fees incurred by reason of the inaccuracy of the representation and warranty contained in this Section.
