The term “Leases” shall also include all guarantees of and security for the tenants’ performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are permitted hereunder.

Trustor hereby relieves the tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such notice or demand by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may apply, in its sole discretion, any Payments so collected by Beneficiary against any Secured Obligation or any other obligation of Trustor or any other person or entity, under any document or instrument related to or executed in connection with the Loan Documents, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter arising. Collection of any Payments by Beneficiary shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice.

3.3.

EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT .

d.

promptly upon Beneficiary’s request, execute and record any additional assignments to Beneficiary of landlord’s interest in any Lease or specific subordinations (or subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreements executed by the lessor and lessee) of any Lease in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Trustor, any tenant or any other person. Notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No subordination referred to in this Section shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder.
