The "Subordination of Lease" clause establishes that the tenant's lease is subordinate to the liens of any current or future mortgages on the property, giving the mortgage lender's rights priority over the tenant's rights. This means that if the property is foreclosed, the lease may be terminated unless the lender agrees otherwise.
K. Subordination of Lease: The following provision is hereby added to the Lease as Section 34:
"This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any bank or institutional or other mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter in force against the Premises, and to all advances made upon the security thereof, provided that the holder of any such mortgage shall execute and deliver to Tenant a Subordinate Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA Agreement"), in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, providing further that such holder will recognize this Lease and not disturb Tenant's possession of the Premises in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period."
“Henrietta Subordination of Lease Agreement” shall mean that certain Lease Subordination and Attornment Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Lender, Borrower, Nocona Hospital District and Henrietta Manager, with respect to the Henrietta Hospital Lease, as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
16.0Subordination of Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord may subordinate this Lease to its present or any subsequent mortgage on the leased premises, provided that (a) such subordination shall not interfere with Tenant’s continued occupancy of the premises pursuant to the term of this Lease and (b) Landlord provides Tenant with a commercially reasonable written Estoppel, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“ENDA”) executed by Landlord and the mortgagee. Tenant agrees to execute any and all instruments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Landlord in order to evidence the above described subordination of this Lease to any mortgage. Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord written request from Landlord within thirty (30) days of a statement in writing certifying this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating said modifications), and the dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or assignee,
SUBORDINATION OF LEASE
Tenant agrees that Landlord, if it so desires, may subordinate this Lease to any mortgage or mortgages which may hereafter be placed by the Landlord upon the Demised Premises or the Property. Tenant agrees that it will, upon request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord to give effect to, or notice, of, such subordination, provided only that the holder of any such mortgage shall enter into an agreement with Tenant that such mortgagee will not disturb the possession and other rights of Tenant so long as Tenant performs its obligations hereunder, and which agreement shall further provide that, in the event of acquisition of title to the Demised Premises by the holder of any such mortgage, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, Tenant will recognize the holder of such mortgage as if it were named as Landlord hereunder, and will attorn to the holder of same. Any such agreement shall be expressly binding upon the successors and assigns of Tenant and of any such mortgagee, and upon anyone purchasing at a foreclosure sale. Tenant agrees that if it shall fail at any time to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument within five (5) days after request by Landlord, then Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact for that purpose.
SUBORDINATION OF LEASE TO MORTGAGES: This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of existing mortgages and of mortgages which hereafter may be made a lien on the Premises; provided, however, that with regard to any pledge or mortgage executed by the Landlord, Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide to the Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from any mortgagee or other lien holder of Landlord’s interest in the Premises. Such non-disturbance agreement shall be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord’s mortgagee or other lien holder, together with a representation that the Landlord is not in default of any of the terms of any such mortgage or security agreement as of the date thereof. Although no instrument or act on the part of the Tenant shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, the Tenant will nevertheless execute and deliver such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages as may be desired by the mortgagee. The Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such instrument for the Tenant. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, upon foreclosure of the mortgage with the mortgagee succeeding to the rights of the Landlord, the Tenant shall, at the option of said mortgagee, be bound to the mortgagee under all of the terms of the Lease for the balance of the term hereof remaining with the same force and effect as if the mortgagee were the Landlord under the Lease, and the Tenant hereby attorns to the mortgagee as its Landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative if the mortgagee so elects. In no event, however, shall the mortgagee be liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord, be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior Landlord, or be bound by any rent or additional rent which the Tenant might have paid to any prior Landlord for more than the current month.

Tenant shall execute and deliver to Management or Owner’s mortgagee(s) or lender(s), within ten (10) days of request by Management from time to time, estoppel certificates pursuant to forms reasonably acceptable to Management or Owner.

Lessee will, however, at any time and from time to time, upon request of Lessor, promptly execute and deliver to Lessor, without expense to Lessor, any and all instruments deemed by Lessor necessary or advisable to subject and subordinate this Lease and all rights given Lessee hereunder to such mortgage or mortgages.

Subordination of a lease refers to an agreement in which a tenant’s leasehold interest is made secondary to the interest of a lender who holds a mortgage on the property. In simpler terms, it means that the tenant agrees that the lender’s rights under the mortgage will take precedence over the tenant’s rights under the lease if the property is foreclosed upon.
When Should I Use Subordination of Lease?
You should consider using a Subordination of Lease in the following situations:
When a property owner is obtaining financing or refinancing and the lender requires it.
When a lease is being signed for a commercial property and the tenant needs assurance that their lease will remain valid in case of foreclosure.
When renewing a lease and there are changes in the mortgage conditions that affect the subordination terms.

Which Contracts Typically Contain Subordination of Lease?
The subordination clause typically appears in the following types of contracts:
Commercial Leases: Inclusive of retail, office, and industrial leases where the landlord might have or obtain a mortgage on the property.
Residential Leases: Though less common, it can still appear, particularly in larger multi-family rental agreements.
Mortgage Agreements: Between lenders and property owners, ensuring the lender’s interest is prioritized.

A tax disclaimer clause states that the parties to the contract are responsible for their respective tax obligations and clarifies that the company providing a service or product will not be held liable for any tax-related issues or penalties incurred by the other party. This clause ensures that each party independently handles their tax liabilities in compliance with relevant laws.
The "Tendering Party" clause refers to the party responsible for formally offering to supply goods or services as outlined in a contract. It establishes the obligations and timelines for this party to meet in ensuring that their delivery meets the contract requirements.
A "termination at will" clause allows either party to end the contract at any time without cause, typically provided a specified notice period is given. This clause offers flexibility but can also introduce uncertainty into the contractual relationship.
