§ 166.224 - What factors does the BIA consider when reviewing a leasehold mortgage?

Copy as parenthetical citation

We will approve the leasehold mortgage if:

All consents required in the permit have been obtained from the Indian landowners and any surety or guarantor;

The mortgage covers only the permit interest, and no unrelated collateral belonging to the permittee;

The financing being obtained will be used only in connection with the development or use of the permitted premises, and the mortgage does not secure any unrelated obligations owed by the permittee to the mortgagee; and

We find no compelling reason to withhold our approval, in order to protect the best interests of the Indian landowner.

In making the finding required by paragraph (a)(4) of this section, we will consider whether:

The ability to perform the permit obligations would be adversely affected by the cumulative mortgage obligations;

Any negotiated permit provisions as to the allocation or control of insurance or condemnation proceeds would be modified;

The remedies available to us or the Indian landowners would be limited (beyond the additional notice and cure rights to be afforded to the mortgagee), if the permittee defaults on the permit;

Any rights of the Indian landowners would be subordinated or adversely affected in the event of a foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or issuance of a “new permit” to the mortgagee.

We will notify the Indian landowners of our approval of the leasehold mortgage.
