This Modification modifies and amends the Lease dated as of June 13 , 2023 , and recorded at Book 6818, Page 1070 , Orange County Registry, as modified by the lease modification recorded at Book 6850 , Page 1000 , Orange County Registry (together, the " Original Lease " ) . The County is the record owner of the property subject to the Original Lease and this Modification . This Modification affects all and only the property subject to the Original Lease . Introduction The County and the School Board have previously agreed to cooperate in a plan to finance, construct and equip improvements to various schools administered by the School Board , including the schools referenced above. The parties entered into the Original Lease to facilitate the County' s financing improvements to the schools . The County has asked the School Board to modify the Original Lease to extend its term, to facilitate an additional financing transaction contemplated by the County. In connection with its financing, the County is entering into a Supplemental Trust Agreement dated as of June 1 , 2025 (the " 2025 Trust Agreement" ) . The County is similarly entering into a Deed of Trust Modification # 3 , also dated as of June 1 , 2025 (the " 2025 Deed of Trust ") , to secure the County' s repayment obligations under the 2025 Trust Agreement. The School Board has agreed to subordinate its leasehold interest to the 2025 Deed of Trust, just as the School Board subordinated its interest to the deed of trust delivered by the County in connection with the originally referenced financing. NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the Mutual promises contained in this Lease . the parties agree as follows : 1 . Definitions . (a) The term " Modified Lease " means the Original Lease as modified by this Modification . 2 i (b) The term " Deed of Trust" means the 2025 Deed of Trust, together with the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement granted by the County dated as of June 1 , 2021 , and recorded at RB 6730 , Page 209, Orange County Registry, as supplemented by the instrument recorded at RB 6818, Page 817 , Orange County Registry. All other capitalized terms used in this Modification and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed in the Original Lease . 2 . Change to Lease Term . Section 3 . 2 ( c) of the Original Lease is hereby amended to read as follows, in order to extend the expected Lease Term . 3 . 2 , Termination . [subparagraphs (a) and (b ) intentionally omitted from the text of this Modification, but they are not modified .] (c) The date that is 30 days after October 1 , 2045 , which is the scheduled date for the County ' s final payment under the " 2025 Trust Agreement," as defined below, except that the Lease Term ends immediately upon the termination of the 2025 Trust Agreement if the 2025 Trust Agreement is terminated following an event of default by the County under the 2025 Trust Agreement . The " 2025 Trust Agreement" means the Third Supplemental Trust Agreement dated as of June 1 , 2025 , between the County and a corporate trustee . Termination of the Lease Term terminates all the County ' s obligations under the Modified Lease, and terminates the School Board ' s rights of possession under the Modified Lease ; but all other provisions of the Modified Lease , including the receipt and disbursement of funds, shall continue until the 2025 Trust Agreement is discharged as provided therein . 3 . Priority of Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding anything in the Modified Lease to the contrary, the School Board ' s rights to possession of the Leased Property and all its other rights under the Modified Lease are subordinate to the rights of the beneficiary 3 under the Deed of Trust, specifically including the 2025 Deed of Trust. Any judicial sale of, or foreclosure on, the Leased Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust terminates all the School Board ' s rights under the Modified Lease . 4 .
