Secured Lender gets forbearance from Landlord under certain circumstances; Tenant gets a Loan and use of the property on his property for that purposes; Landlord gets a new “friend” in the Secured Lender who may pay up any deficient Lease payments of Tenant, should that occur.

This Agreement is useful in particular to the Tenant to identify clearly that the property on its premises is theirs and not subject to Landlord liens.
