the first must be paid off. no question. if it was the other way around, with the first foreclosing, the second would be wiped out if the second doesnt cure the first.
Generally, the second mortgagee will join the foreclosure action... attend the Sale, and try to have the bidding equal or exceed their minimally acceptable payoff.
