The Mortgagor shall keep the Property in compliance in all respects with all Applicable Laws, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of the receipt by the Mortgagor of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.

If the sums collected under this Section 3.9 are insufficient to pay the Taxes and Other Charges as they become due and payable, then the Mortgagor shall pay to the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency on or before the date when such amounts shall be due. Any amount collected hereunder from time to time, until the same shall be applied as above provided,

shall constitute additional collateral security for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage; and in the event of any Event of Default, any part or all of such amounts may be applied by the Administrative Agent, at its option, to the Secured Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such Taxes and Other Charges for any year, the excess shall be applied toward subsequent deposits. Said deposits need not be kept separate and apart from any other funds of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized relating to Taxes and/or Other Charges, may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate person, entity or office without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

future occasion, and no such consent nor any such sale, alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer, leasing, licensing or permission shall release or discharge the Mortgagor from any obligations or liabilities hereunder, all of which shall continue to be direct and primary in any event. If the Mortgagor now or hereafter is permitted to create or to maintain any lien or encumbrance on any or all of the Property securing any indebtedness or other obligations, the Mortgagor will fully and promptly fulfill and observe each and every covenant and condition contained in each of the agreements and instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to said indebtedness or other obligations. Any sale, alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer, leasing or licensing of the Property made in contravention of this Section 3.11 shall be null and void and of no force and effect. The Mortgagor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all recording costs, reasonable in-house and outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements and title search costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such sale, alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer, leasing or licensing of the Property.

     Section 3.12 Right to Perform the Mortgagor’s Covenants.

The costs of any and all performance and actions taken under this Section 3.12 shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Administrative Agent on demand, with interest at the highest applicable rate set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Default Rate”), as from time to time in effect, such interest to accrue from the date such cost is incurred by the Administrative Agent through the date of payment by the Mortgagor, and all such costs and such interest shall be secured by this Mortgage.

     Section 3.12. Entry. The Administrative Agent and any persons authorized by the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter any or all of the Land and Improvements to inspect the Property pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement.

All such costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by the Administrative Agent in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property (including, without limitation, altering or repairing the Property), if not paid out of Rents as hereinabove provided, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by the Mortgagor and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations .

Such rights shall include the following:

          (i) The Administrative Agent may enter upon all or any portion of the Property and may take possession of the Collateral or render the Collateral unusable by process of law or peaceably without process of law. In such event the Mortgagor shall peacefully and quietly yield up and surrender the Collateral and shall, upon request from the Administrative Agent, assemble it and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to the Mortgagor and the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) The Administrative Agent may dispose of all or any part of the Collateral on the Mortgagor’s premises or elsewhere without any liability to the Mortgagor for any damage whatsoever; provided, however, that every aspect of any such disposition by the Administrative Agent, including the method, manner, time, place and terms, must be commercially reasonable. Notice given to the Mortgagor at least 10 days before an event shall constitute reasonable notification of such event under the Uniform Commercial Code. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral may be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of expenses in connection with the disposition of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the other obligations secured hereby, all in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

     (g) Leases. The Administrative Agent, with or without entry under this Section, may collect and receive all rents accruing under any Lease of the Property or any portion thereof, including amounts past due, as well as those accruing thereafter.

     (h) Other Rights. The Administrative Agent (i) may surrender the policies maintained pursuant to this Mortgage or any part thereof and upon receipt shall apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations, and, in connection therewith, the Mortgagor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact

(which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for the Mortgagor to collect such premiums.

     (i) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case the Administrative Agent shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, the Mortgagor and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

     (j) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of the Administrative Agent granted in the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against the Mortgagor, the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by the Mortgagor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not be conditioned upon the Administrative Agent exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the Property prior to the Administrative Agent bringing suit to recover the Secured Obligations ; and (vi) in the event the Administrative Agent elects to bring suit on the Secured Obligations and obtains a judgment against the Mortgagor prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this Mortgage, shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised thereafter at the Administrative Agent’s option.

     (k) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other disposition made pursuant to this Mortgage, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant hereto, or any Rents collected by the Administrative Agent from the Property or proceeds from insurance which the Administrative Agent elects to apply to the Secured Obligations pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

     Section 7.2 No Waiver, etc. Any failure by the Administrative Agent to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by the Mortgagor. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of the Administrative Agent to comply with any request of the Mortgagor or by reason of the failure of the Administrative Agent to take action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of any obligations secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of the

release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of all or any portion of the Property and the Administrative Agent extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of any of the obligations secured hereby or the terms of this Mortgage without first having obtained the consent of the Mortgagor or such other person obligated as to the sums secured hereby, and, in the latter event, the Mortgagor and all such other persons shall continue liable to make such payments according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification unless expressly released and discharged in writing by the Administrative Agent. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on all or any portion of the Property, the Administrative Agent may release the obligation of anyone at any time liable for any of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage or any part of the security held for such indebtedness and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of any of the obligations secured hereby and/or this Mortgage without impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien, as security for the payment of such indebtedness, as it may be so extended or modified, over any subordinate lien. The Administrative Agent may resort for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby to any other security therefor held by the Administrative Agent in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may elect.

     The exercise of any option in this instrument by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of its rights to exercise any other option; and the filing of a suit for collection of any Note and foreclosure of this instrument as a mortgage or for any other default hereunder shall not preclude sale pursuant to the power of sale contained in this instrument after a dismissal of the suit. No provision hereof shall be deemed to release the Mortgagor’s obligation to pay the interest, principal and other sums and charges secured hereby until such time as all thereof have been paid to the Administrative Agent in full. The Mortgagor agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that the acceptance, before the expiration of the right of redemption and after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings of this Mortgage, of insurance proceeds, eminent domain awards, rents or anything else of value to be applied on or to the Mortgage indebtedness by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or any person or party holding under it shall not constitute a waiver of such foreclosure, and this agreement by the Mortgagor shall be that agreement referred to in 14 M.R.S.A. §6204, as may be amended, as necessary to prevent such waiver of foreclosure. This agreement by the Mortgagor is intended to apply to the acceptance and such application of any such proceeds, awards, rents and other sums or anything else of value whether the same shall be accepted from, or for the account of, the Mortgagor or from any other source whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or by any person or party holding under the Administrative Agent at any time or times in the future while any of the obligations secured hereby shall remain outstanding.
