SECTION 3.8. Insurance Requirements.
(a) Insurance. Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure and keep insured the Collateral against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts and with such limits, as Purchaser may from time to time require, and, in any event, including:
(i) All Risk. Insurance against loss to the Collateral which shall be on an "all risk" policy form, covering insurance risks no less broad than those covered under a Standard Multi Peril (SMP) policy form, which contains a Commercial ISO "Causes of Loss-Special Form," in the then current form, including theft and insurance against such other risks as Purchaser may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, insurance covering the cost of demolition of undamaged portions of any portion of the Collateral when required by code or ordinance, the increased cost of reconstruction to conform with current code or ordinance requirements and the cost of debris removal;
(ii) Boiler and Machinery. Broad form boiler and machinery insurance including business interruption/extra expense and rent and rental value insurance, on all equipment and objects customarily covered by such insurance and/or involved in the heating, cooling, electrical and mechanical systems of the Mortgaged Property (if any are located at the Mortgaged Property), providing for full repair and replacement cost coverage, and other insurance of the types and in amounts as Purchaser may reasonably require, but in no event less than that customarily carried by persons owning or operating like properties;
(iii) Flood. Insurance against loss or damage by flood or mud slide in compliance with the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended from time to time, if the Mortgaged Property is now, or at any time while the Liabilities remain outstanding shall be, situated in any area which an appropriate Governmental Authority designates as a special flood hazard area, Zone A, in amounts equal to the full replacement value of all above grade structures on the Mortgaged Property;
(iv) Earthquake.

(v) Public Liability. Commercial general public liability insurance against death, bodily injury and property damage arising in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the transportation of any materials related to the Mortgaged Property. Such policy shall be written on an occurrence basis, shall list Mortgagor as the named insured, shall designate thereon the location of the Mortgaged Property and have such limits as Purchaser may reasonably require, but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Mortgagor shall also obtain excess umbrella liability insurance with such limits as the Purchaser may reasonably require, but in no event less than $5,000,000 once production has commenced;

| #6 - Mortgage | -15- |
(vii) Other Insurance. Such other insurance relating to the Collateral and the use and operation thereof, as Purchaser may, from time to time, reasonably require, including, but not limited to, products liability.
(b) Policy Requirements. All insurance shall: (i) be carried in companies acceptable to Purchaser; (ii) be in form and content acceptable to Purchaser; (iii) provide thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Mortgagee and Purchaser before any cancellation, adverse material modification or notice of non-renewal; and (iv) to the extent limits are not otherwise specified herein, contain deductibles which are in amounts acceptable to Purchaser.
All physical damage policies and renewals shall contain a standard mortgage clause naming the Mortgagee as beneficiary, which clause shall expressly state that any breach of any condition or warranty by Mortgagor shall not prejudice the rights of Mortgagee under such insurance; and a loss payable clause in favor of the Mortgagee for Goods, General Intangibles, contents, inventory, Equipment, loss of rents and business interruption. All liability policies and renewals shall name the Mortgagee as an additional insured. No additional parties shall appear in the mortgage or loss payable clause without Mortgagee’s and Purchaser’s prior written consent. All deductibles shall be in amounts acceptable to Purchaser. In the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage or any other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in full or partial satisfaction of the Liabilities, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all insurance policies and renewals thereof then in force shall pass to the Mortgagee or grantee.
(c) Delivery of Policies. Any notice pertaining to insurance and required pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be given in the manner provided in ARTICLE EIGHT, Section 8.19 below to the Mortgagee and the Purchaser. The insurance shall be evidenced by the original policy or a true and certified copy of the original policy, or in the case of liability insurance, by certificates of insurance. Mortgagor shall deliver the originals, certified copies, certificates of coverage or certificates of insurance, along with evidence of payment for the policies and continuing coverage, to Mortgagee and Purchaser at least fifteen (15) days before the expiration of existing policies. If Mortgagee and Purchaser have not received satisfactory evidence of such renewal or substitute insurance in the time frame herein specified, Mortgagee and/or Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for Mortgagee’s interest only. Any amounts so disbursed by Mortgagee and/or Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be a part of the Liabilities and shall bear interest at the interest rate stated in Section 4.03(5) of the Financing Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Mortgagee or Purchaser to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Mortgagee or Purchaser shall not be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Mortgagee on account of this Section.
(d) Separate Insurance. Mortgagor shall not carry any separate insurance on the Collateral concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Purchaser’s prior written consent, and any such policy shall have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable to Mortgagee, and shall otherwise meet all other requirements set forth herein.
(e) Notice of Casualty. Mortgagor shall give immediate notice of any loss to Mortgagee and Purchaser. In case of loss covered by any of such policies, Mortgagee is authorized to adjust, collect and compromise, with Purchaser’s written approval, all claims thereunder and in such case, Mortgagor covenants to sign upon demand, or Mortgagee may sign or endorse on Mortgagor’s behalf, all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, releases and other papers required by the insurance companies to be signed by Xxxxxxxxx. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. Mortgagee may deduct from such insurance proceeds any expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the collection and settlement thereof, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges.
| #6 - Mortgage | -16- |
(f) Application of Proceeds.
If all or any part of the Collateral shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or shall be damaged or taken through the exercise of the power of eminent domain or other cause described in this Section 3.8, and if the conditions for prepayment of the Loan under ARTICLE 6 of the Financing Agreement do not exist or the prepayment option is not exercised, the Mortgagor is required to restore the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property. Otherwise, if the cost of restoration is reasonably estimated to exceed the proceeds of any insurance (including the deductible amount for which the Mortgagor is self-insured) or condemnation award, the following items shall be deposited with the Purchaser (A, B and C below) or the Mortgagee (D below) before any disbursement is made from the Property Insurance and Award Fund under the Indenture to pay such cost:
| (A) |
plans and specifications for restoration of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property; | |
| (B) |
all applicable building permits; | |
| (C) |
either |
(i) a contract or contracts for the furnishing of all work and materials required for restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications, with a payment and performance bond or bonds (if requested by the Trustee) in aggregate amount equal to the total cost of restoration under the contract or contracts, conditioned for the completion thereof in accordance with the plans and specifications and for the payment of all claims for labor and materials to be incorporated in the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property in the course of restoration, or
(ii) a certificate of a Borrower’s Representative stating that restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and stating that all costs thereof have been paid, with the exception of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable under any contract not certified as finally completed; and
(D) cash or a certified check for any amount by which the total unpaid cost of restoration, as then ascertained or estimated, exceeds the balance then on hand in the Property Insurance and Award Fund held by the Mortgagee under the Indenture.
After compliance with this subsection, where applicable, the Mortgagee shall disburse money from the Property Insurance and Award Fund to or upon the order of the Mortgagor in payment of the costs of restoration, subject, however, to approval of the Purchaser, provided that not more than ninety percent (90%) of the total cost of restoration certified for payment shall be disbursed until receipt by the Mortgagee of an opinion of Independent Counsel (as defined in the Indenture) stating that all filings and other steps necessary to perfect the lien created by this Mortgage in all property, real, personal or mixed, which constitutes part of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property as a result of such restoration, as against third party creditors of or purchasers for value from the Mortgagor, have been completed, and that the lien of this Mortgage is subject to no liens and encumbrances of record except permitted encumbrances. In the event that the restoration of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property to substantially the condition existing before a taking by eminent domain would require the acquisition of land or rights or interests in land additional to or in substitution for any part or all of that described in EXHIBIT A of this Mortgage, the cost thereof may be added to the cost of restoration to be reimbursed to the Mortgagor under the provisions of the Indenture.
| #6 - Mortgage | -17- |
The balance of net proceeds remaining after restoration of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property as hereinabove provided shall be deposited by the Mortgagor into the Debt Service Fund held by the Mortgagee.
If the Mortgagor should within a reasonable period of time fail to restore the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property or elect to prepay the Loan as hereinabove provided, any net proceeds remaining in the Property Insurance and Award Fund shall be retained in the Fund for the purposes set forth herein, provided that the Mortgagee may also use such net proceeds to make any advances authorized to be made under Section 5.04 of the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 3.9. Eminent Domain. In case the Collateral, or any part or interest in any thereof, is taken by condemnation, the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to collect and receive all compensation and awards of any kind whatsoever (referred to collectively herein as “Condemnation Awards”) which may be paid for any property taken or for damages to any property not taken (all of which the Mortgagor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee), and all Condemnation Awards so received shall be forthwith applied by the Mortgagee, as provided in Section 3.8.
SECTION 3.10. Governmental Requirements. The Mortgagor will at all times cause the Collateral and the use and condition thereof to comply with all federal, state, county, municipal, local and other governmental statutes, ordinances, requirements, regulations, rules, orders and decrees of any kind whatsoever that apply or relate to the Collateral or the use thereof, and will observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises and concessions (including, without limitation, those relating to land use and development, landmark preservation, construction, access, water rights and use, noise and pollution) which are applicable to or have been granted for the Collateral or the use thereof.
SECTION 3.11. No Mechanics’ Liens. The Mortgagor will not do or permit to be done any act or thing, and no person shall have any right or power to do any act or thing, whereby any mechanics’ lien under the laws of the State of Wyoming can arise against or attach to the Collateral or any part thereof unless such lien shall first be wholly waived as against this Mortgage. In addition, it is further expressly made a covenant and condition hereof that the lien of this Mortgage shall extend to any and all Improvements and Fixtures now or hereafter on the Mortgaged Property, prior to any other lien thereon that may be claimed by any person, so that subsequently accruing claims to a lien on the Mortgaged Property shall be junior and subordinate to this Mortgage. All contractors, subcontractors, and other parties dealing with the Mortgaged Property, or with any parties interested therein, are hereby required to take notice of the above provisions.
SECTION 3.12. Continuing Priority. Subject to the provisions and rights set forth in the Financing Agreement, the Mortgagor will: pay such fees, taxes and charges, execute and file (at the Mortgagor’s expense) such financing statements, obtain such acknowledgments or consents, notify such obligors or providers of services and materials and do all such other acts and things as the Mortgagee or the Purchaser may from time to time request to establish and maintain a valid and perfected first and prior lien on and security interest in the Collateral and to provide for payment to the Mortgagee directly of all cash proceeds thereof, with the Mortgagee in possession of the Collateral to the extent it requests; maintain its executive office at all times at the address shown herein or provide thirty days written notice prior to moving; keep all of its books and records relating to the Collateral on the Mortgaged Property or at such address; keep all tangible Collateral on the premises and the Lands except as the Mortgagee may otherwise consent in writing; make notations on its books and records sufficient to enable the Mortgagee, as well as third parties, to determine the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder; and not collect any rents or the proceeds of any of the Goods or General Intangibles more than thirty (30) days before the same shall be due and payable except as the Mortgagee may otherwise consent in writing.
| #6 - Mortgage | -18- |
SECTION 3.13. Utilities. The Mortgagor will pay all utility charges incurred in connection with the Collateral and maintain all utility services available for use at the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.14. Contract Maintenance: Other Agreements. The Mortgagor will, for the benefit of the Mortgagee and the Purchaser, fully and promptly perform each obligation and satisfy each condition imposed on it under any Contract for Sale, Contract for Construction, General Intangible, exploration contract or other agreement so that there will be no default thereunder and so that the persons (other than the Mortgagor) obligated thereon shall be and remain at all times obligated to perform for the benefit of the Mortgagee; and the Mortgagor will not permit to exist any condition, event or fact which could allow or serve as a basis or justification for any such person to avoid such performance.
SECTION 3.15. Agreements Affecting the Collateral. The Mortgagor shall keep, observe, perform and comply with all covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Collateral, any operating agreements or other writings relating to the Collateral, and all Leases, instruments and documents relating thereto or evidencing or securing any indebtedness secured thereby.
SECTION 3.16. No Assignments; Future Leases. Subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreement, the Mortgagor will not cause or permit any Revenues, issues, profits, Leases, Contracts for Sale, Product Sales Contracts or other contracts relating to the Collateral, or any interest in any thereof, to be assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or disposed of, to any party other than the Mortgagee or the Purchaser without first obtaining the express written consent of the Purchaser thereto. In addition, the Mortgagor shall not cause or permit all or any portion of or interest in the Collateral to be leased directly or indirectly to any Person, except pursuant to written leases approved by the Purchaser. Each such lease shall contain, at the Purchaser’s election, either (i) a provision to the effect that the tenant shall, at the request of the Purchaser, deliver to the Mortgagee an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, in which the tenant agrees that no action taken by the Mortgagee to enforce this Mortgage by foreclosure, or by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by resorting to any other remedies available to the Mortgagee, shall terminate the lease or invalidate any of the terms thereof and that tenant will attorn to the Mortgagee, to the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, or to a grantee in a voluntary conveyance, and will recognize such entity as landlord for the balance of the term of the lease, providing that the Mortgagee will agree with the tenant that, as long as the tenant is not in default under any of the terms of its lease, the tenant’s possession will not be disturbed by the Mortgagee, or (ii) a subordination clause providing that the lease and the interest of the lessee in the demised real estate are in all respects subject and subordinate to this Mortgage; provided, however, that in the event any such lease fails for any reason to contain either of such provisions, no proceeding by the Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage, or action by way of its entry into possession after any Event of Default hereunder, shall in or of itself operate to terminate such lease unless the Mortgagee or the Purchaser expressly requests such relief in writing, but the preceding provisions of this Section 3.16 shall never be construed as subordinating this Mortgage to any such lease or any other lease.
| #6 - Mortgage | -19- |
SECTION 3.17. Financial Reporting. The Mortgagor will at all times comply (or cause to be complied with) the financial reporting requirements of the Financing Agreement and will comply with all covenants contained therein.
SECTION 3.18. Collections. Until such time as the Mortgagee shall notify the Mortgagor of the revocation of such power and authority, the Mortgagor will, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due with respect to any of the Revenues, leases, Contracts for Sale, Product Sales Contracts, Post- Production Contracts, Goods, General Intangibles and other Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Mortgagee may reasonably request, or, in the absence of such request, as the Mortgagor may deem advisable. (While reserving the right to revoke such power and authority at any time, it is the Mortgagee’s present intention not to revoke such authority unless an Event of Default should occur or the Mortgagee is made to feel insecure concerning any of the Liabilities or performance under any of the Loan Documents.) The Mortgagee, however, may, at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Liabilities, notify any parties obligated on any of the Revenues, leases, Contracts for Sale, Product Sales Contracts, Goods, General Intangibles and other Collateral to make payment to the Mortgagee of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Revenues, leases, Contracts for Sale, Product Sales Contracts, Goods, General Intangibles or other Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Mortgagee or the Purchaser, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Revenues, leases, Contracts for Sale, Product Sales Contracts, Goods, General Intangibles or other Collateral to make payment to the Mortgagee of the amounts due or to become due thereunder.
SECTION 3.19. Mortgagee’s Performance. If the Mortgagor fails to pay or perform any of its obligations herein contained (including payment of expenses of foreclosure and court costs), the Mortgagee may (but need not), as agent or attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving the Mortgagor notice of its intention to do so (no such notice need be given after the occurrence of an Event of Default), make any payment or perform (or cause to be performed) any obligation of the Mortgagor hereunder, in any form and manner deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and any amount so paid or expended (plus reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee for its out-of-pocket and other expenses for each matter for which it acts under this Mortgage), with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 4.03(5) of the Financing Agreement, shall be added to the principal debt hereby secured and shall be repaid to the Mortgagee upon demand. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Mortgagee may (but need not) do all or any of the following: make payments of principal or interest or other amounts on any lien, encumbrance or charge on any of the Collateral; complete construction; make repairs; collect rents, prosecute collection of the Collateral or proceeds thereof; purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or any other lien, encumbrance, suit, proceeding, title or claim thereof, contest any tax or assessment; and redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Mortgaged Property. In making any payment or securing any performance relating to any obligation of the Mortgagor hereunder, the Mortgagee shall (as long as it acts in good faith) be the judge of the legality, validity and amount of any lien or encumbrance and of all other matters necessary to be determined in satisfaction thereof. No such action of the Mortgagee shall ever be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to it on account of the occurrence of any matter which constitutes an Event of Default.
| #6 - Mortgage | -20- |
SECTION 3.20. Subrogation. To the extent that the Mortgagee, on or after the date hereof pays any sum due under any provision of law or any instrument or document creating any lien prior or superior to the lien of this Mortgage, or the Mortgagor or any other Person pays any such sum with the proceeds of the Loan to the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall have and be entitled to a lien on the Collateral equal in priority to the lien discharged, and the Mortgagee shall be subrogated to, and receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit the Mortgagee in securing the Liabilities.
SECTION 3.21. Mortgagor’s Right to Contest. Mortgagor may contest or object to the legal validity or amount of any mechanics or materialmen’s lien on the Collateral provided that: (a) Mortgagor contests such unpaid item by appropriate proceedings diligently and in good faith, and (b) Mortgagor procures and maintains a stay of any proceedings to enforce any judgment for collection of the mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien.
Mortgagor’s tax or assessment liabilities may be deemed delinquent, and a tax lien or assessment lien may be imposed, but only if Xxxxxxxxx has contested, or is actively contesting, tax liabilities, tax liens or assessments in good faith before Wyoming administrative agencies and/or courts as expressly permitted in Title 39 of the Wyoming Statutes.
Any contest by Xxxxxxxxx shall be at its own expense, in good faith, but only with the written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably denied or delayed (except with respect to State taxes where Xxxxxxxxx will need to obtain the written consent of the Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably denied or delayed). During the course of such contest, however, Mortgagor will continue to make or cause to be made any required yearly maintenance or rental fees applicable to its Unpatented Mining Claims or perform any required assessment work or improvements annually on each claim and to pay required rental and other fees on its Leases. Mortgagor may also be required to furnish Mortgagee with any such other security or assurances as may be requested by the Purchaser.
Within ten (10) Business Days of final administrative or judicial resolution of any dispute, Mortgagor shall pay liens, taxes or assessments adjudicated as due and owing.
SECTION 3.22. Change in General Mining Law. In the event of the repeal or modification of the current General Mining Law of 1872 during the term of this Mortgage, such that the interest of the Mortgagor in those lands which are material to the exploration, development or operation of the Lands is adversely affected, modified or transformed, the Mortgagor will use its best efforts to retain its interest in those Lands and will consult with the Mortgagee and the Purchaser to determine how best to preserve the interest of the Mortgagor and the interest of the Mortgagee and the Purchaser in the affected Collateral, and the Mortgagor shall take no action in relation thereto, which in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee or the Purchaser or their counsel, could adversely affect or impair their interest in the Collateral or under this Mortgage. An increase in the annual claim maintenance fee applicable to the Unpatented Mining Claims from time to time in accordance with the General Mining Law of 1872 and applicable regulations shall not constitute a modification of the General Mining Law of 1872 for the purposes of the application of this Section 3.22.

The Mortgagor hereby absolutely and irrevocably (a) transfers, assigns, warrants and conveys to the Mortgagee, effective as of the date hereof, at 12:01 A.M., local time, the Post-Production Contracts, and (b) gives to and confers upon the Mortgagee the right, power and authority to collect all payments, monies, Ore, or other in-kind transfers accruing to Mortgagor under the Post-Production Contracts (the “Post-Production Contract Payments”). The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Mortgagor and in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, from time to time in the Mortgagee’s discretion, to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to sue, in the name of the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, for the Post-Production Contracts and apply the Post-Production Contract Payments to the payment of the Collateralized Obligations. Subject to the foregoing, all parties responsible for the payment of the Post-Production Contract Payments to the Mortgagor are authorized and directed to treat and regard the Mortgagee as the assignee and transferee of the Mortgagor and entitled in the Mortgagor’s place and stead to receive such Post-Production Contract Payments; and said parties and each of them shall be fully protected in so treating and regarding the Mortgagee and shall be under no obligation to see to the application by the Mortgagee of any such proceeds or payments received by it. The assignment of the Post-Production Contracts and the Post-Production Contract Payments in this Section is intended to be an absolute assignment from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and not merely the granting or passing of a security interest. Such Post-Production Contracts and Post-Production Contract Payments are hereby assigned absolutely by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee contingent with respect to collection only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
SECTION 5.2. Collection Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may, at any time without notice, either in person, by trustee or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Collateralized Obligations, in its own name or as Trustee or attorney in fact for the Mortgagor, enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and sue for or otherwise collect the Post-Production Contract Payments, including those past due and unpaid and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys’ fees, upon any of the Collateralized Obligations in such order as the Mortgagee shall determine. The collection of the Post-Production Contract Payments, or the entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, or the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such default or pursuant to notice of default
SECTION 5.3. No Liability of the Mortgagee in Collecting. The Mortgagee is hereby absolved from all liability for failure to enforce collection of any proceeds so assigned (and no such failure shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right of the Mortgagee under this Article) and from all other responsibility in connection therewith, except the responsibility to account to the Mortgagor for funds actually received.
SECTION 5.4. Assignment Not a Restriction on the Mortgagee’s Rights. Nothing herein contained shall detract from or limit the absolute obligation of the Mortgagor to make payment of the Collateralized Obligations regardless of whether the proceeds assigned by this ARTICLE are sufficient to pay the same, and the rights under this ARTICLE shall be in addition to all other security now or hereafter existing to secure the payment and performance of the Collateralized Obligations.
| #6 - Mortgage | -27- |
SECTION 5.5. Status of Assignment. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE, and in addition to the other rights hereunder, the Mortgagee or any receiver appointed in judicial proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage shall have the right to receive the Post-Production Contract Payments herein assigned and the proceeds therefrom after the Collateralized Obligations have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and to apply all of said proceeds as provided in Section 5.2. Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof pursuant to ARTICLE SEVEN, the Post-Production Contract Payments thereafter attributable to the property so sold, and the proceeds therefrom, shall be included in such sale and shall pass to the purchaser free and clear of the assignment contained in this ARTICLE.
SECTION 5.6. Indemnity. In addition to any similar obligations set forth in the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the Mortgagor shall indemnify the Mortgagee against all claims, actions, liabilities, judgments, costs, losses, damages, attorneys’ fees or other charges or expenses of whatsoever kind or nature (collectively, “Claims”) made against or incurred by it as a consequence of the assertion, either before or after the payment in full of the Collateralized Obligations, that it received the Post-Production Contracts herein assigned or the Post-Production Contract Payments claimed by third persons, the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall each, on its own behalf, have the right to defend against any such claims, employing attorneys therefor, and unless furnished with reasonable indemnity, they or any of them shall have the right to pay or compromise and adjust all such claims. The Mortgagor will indemnify and pay to the Mortgagee any and all such amounts as may be paid in respect thereof or as may be successfully adjudged against the Mortgagee, except to the extent such amounts arise for the account of the Mortgagee by reason of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Mortgagor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of the claims which is permissible under Applicable Law. The obligations of the Mortgagor as hereinabove set forth in this Section shall survive the release, termination, foreclosure or assignment of this Mortgage or any sale hereunder.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE
SECURITY
SECTION 7.1. Waiver of Notice and Demand Upon Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee, at its option, may declare the Collateralized Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, without any notice or demand of any kind, both of which are hereby expressly waived.
SECTION 7.2. Power of Sale of Real Property Constituting a Part of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a power of sale to foreclose this Mortgage by advertisement and sale under Wyoming Statutes. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the right and power to sell without the necessity of judicial proceedings, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, as it may elect, the real property constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, at such place or places and otherwise in such manner and upon such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, or, in the absence of any such requirement, as the Mortgagee may deem appropriate, and to make conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers; and the Mortgagor shall warrant title (to the extent, but subject to the exceptions, warranted to the Mortgagee herein) to such real property to such purchaser or purchasers. The Mortgagee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of such real property by public announcement at the time and place of such sale, and from time to time thereafter may further postpone such sale by public announcement made at the time of sale fixed by the preceding postponement, as allowed by Applicable Law. The right of sale hereunder shall not be exhausted by one or any sale, and the Mortgagee may make other and successive sales until all of the Mortgaged Property shall have been legally sold.
SECTION 7.3. Rights of the Mortgagee with Respect to Goods and General Intangibles Constituting a Part of the Mortgaged Property. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee will have all rights and remedies granted by Applicable Law, and particularly by the Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to take possession of all Goods and General Intangibles constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, and for this purpose the Mortgagee may enter upon any premises on which any or all of such Goods and General Intangibles are situated and take possession of and operate such Goods and General Intangibles (or any portion thereof) or remove them therefrom. The Mortgagee may require the Mortgagor to assemble such Goods and General Intangibles and make them available to the Mortgagee at a place to be designated by the Mortgagee. Unless such Goods and General Intangibles are perishable or threaten to decline speedily in value or are of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Mortgagee will give the Mortgagor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of such Goods and General Intangibles is to be made. This requirement of sending reasonable notice will be met if the notice is mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Mortgagor at the address shown herein at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.
SECTION 7.4. Judicial Proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee, in lieu of or in addition to exercising any power of sale hereinabove given, may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a foreclosure hereunder, or for the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.
SECTION 7.5. Possession of the Mortgaged Property. It shall not be necessary for the Mortgagee to have physically present or constructively in its possession at any sale held by the Mortgagee or by any court, receiver or public officer any or all of the Mortgaged Property; and the Mortgagor shall deliver to the purchasers at such sale on the date of sale the Mortgaged Property purchased by such purchasers at such sale, and if it should be impossible or impracticable for any of such purchasers to take actual delivery of the Mortgaged Property, then the title and right of possession to the Mortgaged Property shall pass to such purchaser at such sale as completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered.
| #6 - Mortgage | -35- |
SECTION 7.6. Certain Aspects of a Sale. The Mortgagee shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by the Mortgagee or by any court, receiver or public officer, and the Mortgagee shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor the amount payable out of the net proceeds of such sale to it. Recitals contained in any conveyance made to any purchaser at any sale made hereunder shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated, including nonpayment of the unpaid portion of, and the interest accrued on, the Collateralized Obligations after the same have become due and payable, advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein.
SECTION 7.7. Receipt to Purchaser. Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Mortgagee, or of the officer making sale under judicial proceedings, shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, or his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Mortgagee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in anywise answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.
SECTION 7.8. Effect of Sale. Any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Property, whether under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever either at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor of, in and to the premises and the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagor’s successors or assigns, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the property sold from, through or under the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s successors or assigns. Nevertheless, the Mortgagor, if requested by the Mortgagee so to do, shall join in the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers of the properties so sold.
SECTION 7.9. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Mortgagee in respect of any sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, (whether granted and conferred herein, or by virtue of judicial proceeding) of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Mortgaged Property (after payment and satisfaction of all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in the performance of its rights or duties, and of any amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Documents and SECTION 7.12 of this Mortgage) shall be applied as provided in SECTION 8.06 of the Indenture.
SECTION 7.10. Liability for Deficiency. The Mortgagor will remain liable for any deficiency owing to the Mortgagee and be entitled to surplus, if any, after application of the proceeds of any sale of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in SECTION 7.9, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
SECTION 7.11. The Mortgagor’s Waiver of Appraisement, Marshalling, and Other Rights. The Mortgagor agrees, to the fullest extent that the Mortgagor may lawfully so agree, that the Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim the benefit of any appraisement, moratorium, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to any provision hereof, or pursuant to the decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; and the Mortgagor, for the Mortgagor and all who may claim by, through or under the Mortgagor, so far as the Mortgagor or those claiming by, through or under the Mortgagor now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. The Mortgagor, for the Mortgagor and all who may claim by, through or under the Mortgagor, waives, to the extent that the Mortgagor may lawfully do so, any and all right to the exemption of homesteads, and to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the Lien hereof, or sold in inverse order of alienation, and agrees that the Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such Lien may sell the Mortgaged Property as an entirety or in separate parts. The Mortgagor, for the Mortgagor and all who may claim by, through or under the Mortgagor, further waives, to the fullest extent that the Mortgagor may lawfully do so, any requirement for posting a receiver’s bond or replevin bond or other similar type of bond if the Mortgagee commences an action for appointment of a receiver or an action for replevin to recover possession of any of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor hereby further waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all Collateralized Obligations, and the Mortgagor agrees that no defense, claim or right based on any thereof will be asserted, or may be enforced, in any action enforcing or relating to this Mortgage or any of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor, for itself and for all persons and entities hereafter claiming by, through or under the Mortgagor or who may at any time hereafter become holders of Liens junior to the Lien of this Mortgage, hereby expressly waives and releases all rights to direct the order in which any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Mortgaged Property and/or any other property now or hereafter constituting security or any of the Collateralized Obligations marshalled upon foreclosure of this Mortgage or of any other security or any of such Collateralized Obligations. If any Applicable Law in this Section referred to and now in force, of which the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s successor or successors might take advantage despite the provisions hereof, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to constitute any part of the contract herein contained or to preclude the operation or application of the provisions of this Section.
| #6 - Mortgage | -36- |
SECTION 7.12. Costs and Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal, management and consulting expenses) incurred by the Mortgagee in protecting and enforcing its rights hereunder (including (i) any and all such costs and expenses which are incurred in connection with any state or federal action or proceeding concerning bankruptcy, debt relief, or protection from creditors, and in connection with any and all appellate actions or proceedings and (ii) any and all costs and expenses of any entry or taking of possession of, or any sale or conveyance of, any Mortgaged Property (including, advertisement costs, court costs, compensation of any employees and reasonable legal fees)), shall constitute a demand obligation owing by the Mortgagor to the party incurring such costs and expenses and shall draw interest at an annual rate equal to the highest rate of interest from time to time accruing under and as provided in the Loan Documents until paid, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Collateralized Obligations.
SECTION 7.13. Operation of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to all other rights herein conferred on the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee (or any Person designated by the Mortgagee) shall have the right and power to the fullest extent allowed under Applicable Law, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon and take possession of any of the Mortgaged Property, and to exclude the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagor’s trustees or servants, wholly therefrom, and to hold, use, administer, manage and operate the same to the extent that the Mortgagor shall be at the time entitled and in its place and stead, in any form and manner deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. Mortgagee, or any Person designated by the Mortgagee, may operate the same without any liability to the Mortgagor in connection with such operations, except to use ordinary care in the operation of such properties, and the Mortgagee or any Person designated by the Mortgagee shall have the right to collect, receive and receipt for the Post-Production Contracts and the Post-Production Contract Payments (as described in SECTION 5.2), to make repairs, purchase machinery and equipment, conduct operations and to exercise every power, right and privilege of the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property. All amounts paid or expended by the Mortgagee in exercising its rights under this SECTION (plus reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee for its out-of-pocket and other expenses for each matter for which it acts under this Mortgage), along with interest thereon at the highest rate of interest from time to time accruing under and as provided in the Loan Documents until paid, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Collateralized Obligations, shall be added to the Collateralized Obligations and shall be repaid to the Mortgagee upon demand. When and if the expenses of such operation and development (including costs of unsuccessful operations) have been paid and the Collateralized Obligations paid, said properties shall, if there has been no sale or foreclosure, be returned to the Mortgagor.
| #6 - Mortgage | -37- |
SECTION 7.14. Consents. In the event the validity and effectiveness of the mortgage, assignment or charge upon or security interest in any of the Mortgaged Property (collectively, a “Charge”) requires the consent, approval or waiver of a third Person in order to be effective as against such third Person, the Charge with respect to any such Mortgaged Property shall be effective as against the Mortgagor and all Persons other than such third Person and shall be effective as against such third Person when the applicable consent, approval or waiver is obtained, retroactively, to the fullest extent legally possible, to the later of the date hereof or the date such consent, approval or waiver is obtained or becomes effective, as applicable, and until such consent, approval or waiver is obtained, the Mortgagor shall (subject to the other terms hereof) stand possessed of such Mortgaged Property upon trust to assign and dispose thereof as the Trustee shall for such purposes direct.

OTHER PROVISIONS
SECTION 8.1. Right to Perform the Mortgagor’s Collateralized Obligations. Each and every covenant herein contained shall be performed and kept by the Mortgagor solely at the Mortgagor’s expense. If the Mortgagor shall fail to perform or keep any of the covenants of whatsoever kind or nature contained in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee or any receiver appointed hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or keep, or cause to be performed or kept, the same in the Mortgagor’s behalf, and the Mortgagor hereby agrees to reimburse the Mortgagee or such receiver (as the case may be) on demand for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith plus interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the highest rate of interest from time to time accruing under and as provided in the Loan Documents until paid. The undertaking of such performance by the Mortgagee or such receiver (as the case may be) as aforesaid shall not obligate the Mortgagee or such receiver (as the case may be) to continue such performance or to engage in such performance or performance of any other act in the future, shall not obligate the Mortgagee or such receiver (as the case may be) to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights in connection with any agreements, shall not relieve the Mortgagor from the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Mortgage or constitute a waiver of default hereunder and shall not affect the right of the Mortgagee to accelerate the payment of the Collateralized Obligations or to resort to any other of its rights or remedies hereunder or under Applicable Law.
SECTION 8.2. Defense of Claims. The Mortgagor will notify the Mortgagee, in writing, promptly of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting the Lien hereof or the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and will take such action, employing attorneys agreeable to the Mortgagee, as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve the Mortgagor’s and the Mortgagee’s rights affected thereby and/or to hold harmless the Mortgagee in respect of such proceedings; and should the Mortgagor fail or refuse to take any such action, the Mortgagee may, upon giving prior written notice thereof to the Mortgagor, take such action in behalf and in the name of the Mortgagor and at the Mortgagor’s expense. Moreover, the Mortgagee may take such independent action in connection therewith as it may in its discretion deem proper, the Mortgagor hereby agreeing that all sums advanced or all reasonable expenses incurred in such actions plus interest at an annual rate equal to the highest rate of interest from time to time accruing under and as provided in the Loan Documents until paid, will, on demand, be reimbursed, as appropriate, to the Mortgagee or any receiver appointed hereunder. The obligations of the Mortgagor as hereinabove set forth in this Section shall survive the release, termination, foreclosure or assignment of this Mortgage or any sale hereunder.
SECTION 8.3. The Mortgaged Property to Revert. If the Collateralized Obligations shall be fully paid in cash and the covenants herein contained shall be well and truly performed, then all of the Mortgaged Property shall revert to the Mortgagor and the entire estate, right, title and interest of the Mortgagee shall thereupon cease; and the Mortgagee in such case shall, upon the request of the Mortgagor and at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, deliver to the Mortgagor proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of this Mortgage without warranty or recourse of any kind, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
SECTION 8.4. Renewals, Amendments and Other Security. Renewals and extensions of the Collateralized Obligations may be given at any time and amendments may be made to agreements relating to any part of such Collateralized Obligations or the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgagee may take or may now hold other security for the Collateralized Obligations, all without notice to or consent of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee may resort first to such other security or any part thereof or first to the security herein given or any part thereof, or from time to time to either or both, even to the partial or complete abandonment of either security, and such action shall not be a waiver of any rights conferred by this Mortgage, which shall continue as a first-priority, perfected Lien (subject to the exceptions set forth herein) in the Mortgaged Property not expressly released until the Collateralized Obligations are fully paid and performed.
| #6 - Mortgage | -39- |
SECTION 8.5. Construction of Mortgage as an Assignment, etc. This Mortgage shall be deemed to be and may be enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement or security agreement, and from time to time as any one or more thereof.
SECTION 8.6. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, the Loan Documents, or any other documents entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, the Mortgagor does not agree, and shall not be charged with, or obligated to pay, any amount of interest that would render the Loan Documents usurious. It is the intention of the Mortgagee and the Purchaser to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws presently in force, and any agreement for taking, receiving, reserving or charging interest shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws, so that if from any circumstances any interest is in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law, such excess shall be cancelled automatically, and if theretofore paid, shall be refunded or credited on the principal amount of the obligation secured thereby. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Mortgagee and the Purchaser for the use, forbearance or detention of the Collateralized Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Collateralized Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest does not exceed the maximum lawful rate in effect and applicable to the Collateralized Obligations for so long as the Collateralized Obligations are outstanding. This provision shall control any provision of this Mortgage, the Loan Documents, or any other instruments in connection therewith which are inconsistent with this paragraph.
SECTION 8.7. Unenforceable or Inapplicable Provisions. If any provision hereof or of any other Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the other provisions hereof or of such Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction, and the remaining provisions hereof shall be liberally construed in favor of the Mortgagee in order to effectuate the provisions hereof or thereof, and the invalidity of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such provision in any other jurisdiction. Any reference herein contained to a statute or law of a state in which no part of the Mortgaged Property is situated shall be deemed inapplicable to, and not used in, the interpretation hereof.
SECTION 8.8. Rights Cumulative; Waiver.
(a) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and not exclusive; and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and so often and in such order as may be deemed expedient. No failure or delay by or on the part of the Mortgagee or the exercise, or the beginning of the exercise, of any such right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any other right, power or remedy in exercising any power or right under this Mortgage. No such failure or delay shall operate as a waiver of any right hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. No notice to or demand on the Mortgagor in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing. No waiver or approval under this Mortgage shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
| #6 - Mortgage | -40- |
(b) Any and all covenants in this Mortgage may from time to time be waived by Mortgagee in writing signed by the Mortgagee to such extent and in such manner as the Mortgagee may desire, but no such waiver shall ever affect or impair the Mortgagee’s rights or Liens hereunder, except to the extent specifically stated in such written instrument.

In addition to any similar obligations contained in this Mortgage and each other Loan Documents to which it is or may become a party, the Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Mortgagee and the Purchaser from and against any and all claims, actions, judgments, costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses, damages, charges, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Mortgage (including the enforcement hereof), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Mortgagee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand, the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and trustees, which the Mortgagee may incur in connection with:
(a) the administration of this Mortgage and the Loan Documents;
(b) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Mortgaged Property;
(c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder; or
(d) the failure by the Mortgagor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Mortgagor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such claims, actions, judgments, costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses, damages, charges, losses and liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law. The obligations of the Mortgagor as hereinabove set forth in this SECTION shall survive the release, termination, foreclosure or assignment of this Mortgage or any sale hereunder.
SECTION 8.10. Release and Waiver. The Mortgagor hereby waives and releases any and all rights of contribution, reimbursement or indemnity it has or may hereafter have against the Mortgagee arising from or relating to this Mortgage and/or the Mortgaged Property, including claims or liabilities relating to Environmental Laws.
SECTION 8.11. No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Mortgage is intended to, or shall be construed as, creating to any extent and in any manner whatsoever, any partnership, mining partnership, joint venture or association among the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, or in any way as to make the Mortgagee a co-principal with the Mortgagor with reference to the Mortgaged Property, and any inferences to the contrary are hereby expressly negated.
| #6 - Mortgage | -41- |
SECTION 8.12. Partial Releases. No partial release from the Lien of this Mortgage with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee shall in any way alter, vary or diminish the force, effect or Lien of this Mortgage against the balance or remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 8.13. Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage shall be binding upon the Mortgagor and the Mortgagor’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee, for the benefit of the Purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that: the Mortgagor may not assign, delegate or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
The provisions of this Mortgage shall be covenants running with the land.
