Tenant shall be responsible for all maintenance and upkeep of the signs. All additional signs (i.e. portable signs, banners, etc.) must be approved by the Landlord. Any signs permanently attached to the building are considered leasehold improvements and will remain with the Demised Premises after the end of the Lease.

Section 30: Following the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Landlord’s existing lender or lenders, if any, by which such lender or lenders agree not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Demised Premises so long as Tenant is not in material default of the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period at the time if such lender or lenders foreclose on the Demised Premises. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments that may be necessary or proper to subordinate this Lease. Additionally, both Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver to any lender or lenders or the other party hereto such estoppel certificates as may be reasonably requested by such lender or lenders or other party.
