THIS AGREEMENT (“SNDA”) is executed by and between       (hereinafter referred to as Lender) and Maricopa

WITNESSETH: 
 
WHEREAS, Lessee has entered into a lease dated       (hereinafter referred to as “Lease”) for certain 
premises located at      , said premises more particularly described in said Lease, and 
  
WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan to Lessor,      , in the sum of $      secured by a      , Assignment 
of Rents and Security Agreement on the Lessor’s interest in the premises (the “Security Agreement”) of which the 
leased premises are a portion, recorded in the official records of the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, and 
 
WHEREAS, Lessee has agreed to the subordination of the Lease to the Security Agreement on the 
condition that it is assured of continued use and occupancy of the premises under the terms of said Lease and this 
SNDA, and 
 
WHEREAS, Lender agrees to such continued use and occupancy by Lessee provided that by these presents 
Lessee agrees to recognize and attorn to Lender or purchaser in the event of foreclosure or otherwise. 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby 
mutually covenanted and agreed as follows: 
1. In the event it should become necessary to foreclose the Deed of Trust or Lender should otherwise come 
into possession of the premises, Lender will not join Lessee under said Lease in summary or foreclosure 
proceedings and will not disturb the use and occupancy of Lessee under said Lease so long as Lessee is 
not in default under any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of said Lease; and has not prepaid the 
rent except monthly in advance as provided by the terms of said Lease. 
2. Lessee agrees that in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such Deed of Trust

said Lease.  Said purchaser, by virtue of such foreclosure to be deemed to have assumed and agreed to 
be bound, as “Substitute Lessor”, by the terms and conditions of said Lease until the resale or other

proceedings had not been brought, except as aforesaid.  Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to any such 
purchaser such further assurance and other documents, confirming the foregoing as such purchaser may 
reasonably request.  Lessee waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect 
which may give or purport to give it any right or election to terminate, except as expressly provided for 
in said Lease, or otherwise adversely affect the said Lease and the obligations of Lessee thereunder by 
reason of any such foreclosure proceeding.  Accordingly, from and after such event “Substitute Lessor” 
and Lessee shall have the same remedies against each other for the breach of an agreement contained 
in the Lease as Lessee and Lessor had before “Substitute Lessor” succeeded to the interest of the Lessor; 
provided however, that “Substitute Lessor” shall not be;
