Leasehold Mortgages Lessee shall have the right during the term of this Lease to mortgage the Lessee's interest in this Lease, without the prior consent of the Port, and to assign the Lessee's interest in this Lease as collateral security for such leasehold mortgage. All rights acquired by the holder of the leasehold mortgage shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease and to all rights and interests of the Port. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease shall be waived by the Port by reason of the right given to the Lessee to assign its interest in this Lease for security purposes.
15.1 The Leasehold Mortgage shall contain provisions providing that no purchaser or transferee of the Lease at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or by reason of a default under the mortgage where no foreclosure sale is required shall further assign or transfer any right, title or interest in or to this Lease or the leasehold estate covered by the Leasehold Mortgage unless the Port has approved the assignee or transferee in writing.
15.2 In the event the Lessee assigns this Lease for security purposes as provided in this Section 15, after receipt of a written notice from the Lessee giving the name and address of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees that whenever the Port sends a notice to the Lessee under the terms of this Lease, the Port will contemporaneously send a copy of the notice to the leasehold mortgagee.
15.3 The Port further agrees that it will not accept a voluntary cancellation or surrender of the Lease by the Lessee without prior written consent of the leasehold mortgagee and the Port will not enter into any amendments of the lease which modifies any material provision of the lease without prior written approval of the leasehold mortgagee. No merger shall result from the acquisition by or the devolution upon any one entity of the fee and leasehold estates in the property.
15.4 In the event of a notice of default from the Port to the Lessee, the leasehold mortgagee may cure any default within the time provided for in the lease after the leasehold mortgagee's receipt of the notice of default. The Port agrees to accept a tender of cure of default from the leasehold mortgagee as if the cure were tendered by the Lessee. Provided, however, that if it takes the leasehold mortgagee more than thirty (30) days to cure a default (other than the payment of any money due under the lease) because the leasehold mortgagee is not in possession of the property, the lease shall not be in default if the leasehold mortgagee promptly undertakes to obtain possession of the property and diligently pursues its right to possession. No tender of cure of a default by the leasehold mortgagee shall require the leasehold mortgagee to cure any future defaults by the Lessee or require the leasehold mortgagee to perform any other term or condition of this Lease.
15.5 In the event of a default by the Lessee which has not been cured by the Lessee or by the leasehold mortgagee and which would permit the Port to forfeit or otherwise terminate this Lease or in the event the leasehold mortgagee forecloses upon its leasehold mortgage and becomes the holder of the Lessee's interest in this Lease, the Port agrees to accept the leasehold mortgagee as the Lessee under this Lease, provided the leasehold mortgagee performs all of the obligations and covenants of the Lessee contained in this Lease which are capable of being performed by the leasehold mortgagee.
15.6 In the event of a default which is personal to the Lessee (such as a bankruptcy) and which cannot be cured by the leasehold mortgagee and the Lessee's interest under this Lease has been terminated or canceled, then at the written request of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee under the same terms and conditions as this Lease and for any unexpired term of the lease. The Port's execution and delivery of the lease shall be without any representation or warranty of any kind, including any representations or warranties regarding title to the Property, the improvements or the priority of such new lease.
15.6.1 The Port shall be obligated to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee only if the leasehold mortgagee has remedied and cured all monetary defaults of the Lessee under this Lease and has remedied and cured or has commenced and is diligently completing the cure of all non-monetary defaults susceptible to cure by any party other than the original Lessee. The leasehold mortgagee shall pay all costs and expenses of the Port, including, but not limited to, attorney fees, real property transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording fees incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of a new lease and any related conveyances.
15.6.2 If more than one leasehold mortgagee requests a new lease or in the event of a dispute between the Lessee and a leasehold mortgagee, the Port shall have no duty to determine the relative priority of the leasehold mortgages and the Port shall have no obligation to enter into a new lease with any leasehold mortgagees unless the dispute is resolved to the Port's satisfaction within ninety (90) days of the termination of this Lease.
15.6.3 Upon the execution of the new lease by the leasehold mortgagee and the Port, the Port will convey to the leasehold mortgagee by quit claim deed, title to any improvements on the Property by the Lessee in which the leasehold mortgagee has a recorded mortgage or other security interest. The conveyance of the improvements shall be in "as is" condition without any warranty or representation by the Port concerning the condition of the improvements. The Port will not warrant the title to the improvements and the leasehold mortgagee shall accept the title to the improvements subject to any existing encumbrances.
15.6.4 Upon the execution of a new lease and the conveyance of title to improvements, if any, it shall be the responsibility of the leasehold mortgagee to cancel and discharge this Lease and remove any persons occupying the premises. The leasehold mortgagee shall indemnify the Port and hold it harmless from any obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs or expense, including attorney fees, which may arise from such action or from the Port's compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 15.6.
Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.

Leasehold Mortgage Tenant shall not be permitted to encumber the fee simple title in the Land, Building or Premises or any of the structures, improvements, fixtures or any other portion of the Premises, including without limitation any Addition. Tenant shall only be permitted to mortgage Tenant's interest under this Lease, which such mortgage shall in no manner alter the terms and conditions of this Lease, nor impact Landlord's rights as the owner of the Premises.

In the event Tenant desires to obtain a leasehold mortgage, Tenant shall present and Landlord shall have the right to review and approve of any leasehold mortgage and any other documents to be recorded in relation to such leasehold mortgage prior to their record to confirm that such documents do not encumber Landlord's fee simple title in the Land, Building or the Premises. Landlord agrees, upon the request of a leasehold mortgagee, to provide to such leasehold mortgagee a copy of all notices of default made by Landlord upon Tenant under this Lease, to permit such leasehold mortgagee an opportunity to cure any such defaults, which in no event shall exceed sixty (60) business days and to recognize such mortgagee or any purchaser of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises in foreclosure as the tenant under this Lease, provided that such mortgagee or purchaser in foreclosure complies with each and every term and provision of this Lease and that all outstanding obligations of the Tenant have been paid in full. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including attorneys fees, to review such documents.
SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES This Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder are subject and subordinate to any Mortgage now or hereafter placed on or affecting the Building, and all renewals, modifications, replacements, amendments and extensions thereof. Upon written request or notice by Landlord, concurred in by any Mortgagee of the Building or any part thereof which includes the Premises, or by any person, firm or corporation intending to become a Mortgagee, Tenant agrees to subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien or liens of any Mortgage and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided the Mortgagee named in a Mortgage shall agree to recognize the lease of Tenant in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not in default. Tenant also agrees that any Mortgagee may elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and in the event of such election and upon notification by such Mortgagee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the Mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of the Mortgage. Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord or any Mortgagee named in such Mortgage, it will execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes. Tenant will, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's interest in the Building or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any Mortgage covering the Building, attorn to and recognize such purchaser or Mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease to the same extent and effect as the original Landlord.
