NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Tenant agrees and covenants that the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the property covered by the Lease, and any lease thereafter executed by Tenant covering any part of the Property, are and shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to (a) the Deed of Trust and the rights of Lender thereunder, and all right, title and interest of Lender in the Property, and (b) all other security documents now or hereafter securing payment of any indebtedness of Landlord (or any prior landlord) to Lender which cover or affect the Property (the "Security Documents"). This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other security document other than those referred to in the preceding sentence, securing the indebtedness to Lender.
2. Nondisturbance. Lender agrees that so long as the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent, additional rent or other payments or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed (beyond the period, if any, specified in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default),
(a) Tenant’s possession of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Lender in the exercise of any of its foreclosure rights under the Deed of Trust or in connection with any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and
(b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease in any proceeding for foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.
