-------------
December 31, 2000, the Loan Note being payable to the order of Lender, bearing
interest at the rates provided for therein, and containing provisions for the
payment of attorneys' fees and acceleration of maturity in the event of default,
as set forth therein.
7. In order to secure repayment of the Loan Note and payment and
performance of the Obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit

time amended, modified, restated or supplemented, called the "Guaranty").
------------
8. In order to secure repayment of the Guaranty and the Loan Note and
payment and performance of the Obligations (as defined in the Amended and

Financing Statement to confirm and ratify the Gathering System Mortgage, to
mortgage certain additional property owned by Mortgage but not covered by the
Gathering System Mortgage and to amend the Gathering System Mortgage to provide
that it secures
-2-
the obligations of MEC and MPC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
9. MEC and MarkWest Michigan LLC, a Michigan limited liability company
("Markwest") are parties to that certain Participation, Ownership and Operating
Agreement dated as of May 2, 1996 (the "Participation Agreement"), pertaining to
---------------------------

Michigan limited liability company ("Basin"), pursuant to which Markwest will
earn member interests in Mortgagor.
10. MEC, Markwest, Mortgagor and Basin are parties to that certain
Subordination Agreement dated as of May 2, 1996 (the "Subordination Agreement"),
--------------------------
pursuant to which Lender agreed that its rights, interests and remedies under
and pursuant to this Mortgage, among other things, is subject and subordinate to
the Participation Agreement.
11. The Mortgagor or its Affiliates (as defined in the Amended and
Restated Agreement) may enter into certain Hedging Agreements (as defined in the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) with Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association, an Affiliate of the Lender, pursuant to the terms of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Lender to make Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit

amended, hereinafter called "RCRA"); provided, in the event either
--------
CERCLA or RCRA is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term
defined thereby, such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the
effective date of such amendment and provided further, to the extent
that the laws of the states in which the Mortgaged Properties are
located establish a meaning for "hazardous substance," "release,"
"solid waste," or "disposal" which is broader than that specified in
-8-
either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
(B) Future Performance. Mortgagor will not cause or permit
-------------------
the Property or Mortgagor, or cause the Associated Property (as
defined below), to be in violation of, or do anything or permit
anything to be done which will subject the Property to (or do anything
which will subject the Associated Property to), any remedial
obligations under any Applicable Environmental Laws, assuming
disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all relevant
facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the
Property and the Associated Property and Mortgagor will promptly
notify Lender in writing of any existing, pending or, to the best
knowledge of Mortgagor, threatened investigation or inquiry by any
governmental authority in connection with any Applicable Environmental
Laws. Mortgagor will take all steps necessary to determine that no
hazardous substances or solid wastes have been disposed of or
otherwise released on or to the Property or the Associated Property,
except as set forth on the Disclosure Statement to the Participation
Agreement, Mortgagor will not cause or permit the disposal or other
release of any hazardous substance or solid waste on or to the
Property or the Associated Property and covenants and agrees to keep
or cause the Property, or to the extent caused by Mortgagor the
Associated Property, to be kept free of any hazardous substance or
solid waste and to remove the same (or if removal is prohibited by
law, to take whatever action is required by law) promptly upon
discovery at its sole expense. Upon Lender's reasonable request, at
any time and from time to time during the existence of this Mortgage,
Mortgagor will provide at Mortgagor's sole expense an inspection or
audit of the Property and the Associated Property from an engineering
or consulting firm approved by Lender, indicating the presence or
absence of hazardous substances and solid waste on the Property and/or
the Associated Property. The term "Associated Property" as used in
this Mortgage shall mean any and all interests in and to (and or
carved out of) the lands included in the Property, or on which the
Property is located, whether or not such property interests are owned
by Mortgagor.
(k) Condemnation of the Property; Proceeds. Immediately upon obtaining
---------------------------------------
knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the
Property or any portion thereof, or any other proceedings arising out of
injury or damage to the Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will
notify Lender of the pendency of such proceedings. Lender may participate
in any such proceedings, and Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to
Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.
Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings,
and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate
with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. All
proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation
with respect to the Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for
injury or damage to the Property shall be paid to Lender, and shall be
applied toward costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees), if any, incurred by Lender in the collection thereof, then to the
payment, in the order determined by Lender in its own discretion, of the
Indebtedness, and any balance remaining shall be subject to the order of
Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers all such proceeds,
judgments, decrees and awards to Lender and agrees to execute such further
assignments of
-9-
all such proceeds, judgments, decrees and awards as Lender may request.
Lender is hereby authorized, in the name of Mortgagor, to execute and
deliver valid acquittance for, and to appeal from, any such judgment,
decree or award. Lender shall not be, in any event or circumstances, liable
or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the
collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees and/or awards.
(1) Defense of Mortgage. If the validity or priority of this Mortgage
--------------------
or of any rights, titles, liens or security interests created or evidenced
hereby with respect to the Property or any part thereof or the title of
Mortgagor to the Property shall be endangered or questioned or shall be
attacked directly or indirectly or if any legal proceedings are instituted
against Mortgagor with respect thereto, Mortgagor will give prompt written
notice thereof to Lender and at Mortgagor's own cost and expense will
diligently endeavor to cure any defect that may be developed or claimed,
and will take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such legal
proceedings, including, but not limited to, the employment of counsel, the
prosecution or defense of litigation and the release or discharge of all
adverse claims, and Lender (whether or not named as a party to legal
proceedings with respect thereto) is hereby authorized and empowered to
take such additional steps as in its judgment and discretion may be
necessary or proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the
protection of the validity or priority of this Mortgage and the rights,
titles, liens and security interests created or evidenced hereby, including
but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution
or defense of litigation, the compromise or discharge of any adverse claims
made with respect to the Property, the purchase of any tax title and the
removal of prior liens or security interests, and all expenditures so made
of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation
Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to Lender
and shall bear interest from the date expended until paid at the rate
described in Section 2.2 hereof, and the Lender shall be subrogated to all
rights of the person receiving such payment.
(m) Fees and Expenses: Indemnity. Mortgagor will reimburse Lender (for
-----------------------------
purposes of this paragraph, the term "Lender" shall include the directors,
officers, partners, employees and agents of Lender, and any persons or
entities owned or controlled by or affiliated with Lender) for all
expenditures, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred
or expended in connection with (i) the breach by Mortgagor of any covenant,
agreement or condition contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (ii)
the exercise by Lender of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, and (iii) the protection of the Property and/or
Lender's liens and security interests therein. Mortgagor will indemnify and
hold harmless Lender from and against (and will reimburse Lender for) all
expenditures, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred
or expended in connection with all claims, demands, liabilities, losses,
damages (including without limitation consequential damages), causes of
action, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which may be imposed
upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by Lender on account of, in
connection with, or arising out of (A) any bodily injury or death or
property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Property
through any cause whatsoever, (B) any act performed or omitted to be
performed hereunder or the breach of any representation or warranty herein,
(C) the exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, (D) any transaction, act,
-10-
omission, event or circumstance arising out of or in any way connected with

Applicable Environmental Law, (F) the presence on or release onto the
Property or Associated Property or the groundwater of either, on or prior
to the Release Date, of any hazardous substance or solid waste, (G) any
act, omission, event or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to
the Release Date (including without limitation the presence on the Property
or the Associated Property or release from the Property or the Associated
Property of hazardous substances or solid wastes disposed of or otherwise
released), resulting from or in connection with the ownership,
construction, occupancy, operation, use and/or maintenance of the Property
or the Associated Property, regardless of whether the act, omission, event
or circumstance constituted a violation of any Applicable Environmental Law
at the time of its existence or occurrence, and (H) any and all claims or
proceedings (whether brought by private party or governmental agencies) for
bodily injury, property damage, abatement or remediation, environmental
damage or impairment or any other injury or damage resulting from or
relating to any hazardous or toxic substance, solid waste or contaminated
material located upon or migrating into, from or through the Property or
the Associated Property (whether or not the release of such materials was
caused by Mortgagor, a tenant or subtenant or a prior owner or tenant or
subtenant on the Property or the Associated Property and whether or not the
alleged liability is attributable to the handling, storage, generation,
transportation, removal or disposal of such substance, waste or material or
the mere presence of such substance, waste or material on the Property or
the Associated Property), which the Lender may have liability with respect
to due to the making of the loan or loans evidenced by the Note, the
granting of this Mortgage, the exercise of any of its rights under the Loan
Documents, or otherwise. Lender shall have the right to compromise and
adjust any such claims, actions and judgments, and in addition to the
rights to be indemnified as herein provided, all amounts paid by Lender in
compromise, satisfaction or discharge of any such claim, action or
judgment, and all court costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses of every
character expended by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this section
shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly
promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to Lender. The "Release Date" as used
--------------
herein shall mean the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date on
which the Indebtedness and obligations secured hereby have been paid and
performed in full and this Mortgage has been released of record, or (ii)
the date on which the lien of this Mortgage is foreclosed or a deed in lieu
of such foreclosure is fully effective and recorded. WITHOUT LIMITATION, IT
IS THE INTENTION OF MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING
INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS,
DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, CAUSES OF ACTION, JUDGMENTS,
PENALTIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES) WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF
THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH (AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNIFIED PARTY. However, such
indemnities shall not apply to any particular indemnified party (but shall
apply to the other indemnified parties) to the extent the subject of the
indemnification is caused by or arises out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such particular indemnified party. The foregoing
indemnities shall not terminate upon the Release Date or upon the release,
foreclosure or other termination of this Mortgage but will survive the
Release Date, foreclosure of this Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure, and the repayment of the indebtedness and the discharge and
release of this Mortgage
-11-
and the other documents evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness. Any
amount to be paid hereunder by Mortgagor to Lender shall be a demand
obligation owing by Mortgagor to Lender and shall be subject to and covered
by the provisions of the last two sentences of Section 2.2 hereof.
(n) Insurance. Mortgagor will carry insurance as provided by the
----------
Participation Agreement. In the event of any loss under any insurance
policies so carried by Mortgagor, Lender shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to make proof of loss and collect the same, and all amounts so
received shall be applied toward costs, charges and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), if any, incurred by lender in the collection
thereof, then to the payment, in the order determined by Lender in its own
discretion, of the Indebtedness, and any balance remaining shall be subject
to the order of Mortgagor. Lender is hereby authorized but not obligated to
enforce in its name or in the name of Mortgagor payment of any or all of
said policies or settle or compromise any claim in respect thereof, and to
collect and make receipts for the proceeds thereof and Lender is hereby
appointed Mortgagor's agent and attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or
draft payable to Mortgagor in order to collect the proceeds of insurance.
In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to
the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Indebtedness, all
right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to such policies then in
force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(o) Further Assurances. Mortgagor will, on request of Lender, (i)
-------------------
promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in
the contents of this Mortgage, or in any other Loan Document, or in the
execution or acknowledgment of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document;
(ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such further
instruments (including, without limitation, further deeds of trust,
mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation
statements, and assignments of production, accounts, funds, contract
rights, general intangibles, and proceeds) and do such further acts as may
be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the
purposes of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and to more fully
identify and subject to the liens and security interests hereof any
property intended to be covered hereby, including specifically, but without
limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or
appurtenances to the Property; and (iii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, and
file and/or record any document or instrument (including specifically any
financing statement) desired by Lender to protect the lien or the security
interest hereunder against the rights or interests of third persons.
Mortgagor shall pay all costs connected with any of the foregoing.
(p) Name and Place of Business. Mortgagor will not cause or permit any
---------------------------
change to be made in its name, identity, or corporate or partnership
structure, or its federal employer identification number unless Mortgagor
shall have notified Lender of such change at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action
required by Lender for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the
lien and security interest of Lender in the Property. Mortgagor's principal
place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Mortgagor
keeps its books and records concerning the Property (including,
particularly, the records with respect to "Proceeds", as defined in Section
3.1 hereof, from the Mortgaged Properties) will be (unless Mortgagor
notifies
-12-
Lender of any change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
of such change), the address set forth opposite the signature of Mortgagor
to this Mortgage.
Section 2.2. Performance by Lender Mortgagor's Behalf. Mortgagor agrees
-----------------------------------------
that, if Mortgagor fails to perform any act or to take any action which
hereunder Mortgagor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which
hereunder Mortgagor is required to pay, Lender, in Mortgagor's name or its own
name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such
act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by
Lender and any money so paid by Lender shall be a demand obligation owing by
Mortgagor to Lender (which obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to
pay) and Lender, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the
rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. Each
amount due and owing by Mortgagor to Lender pursuant to this Mortgage shall bear
interest each day, from the date of such expenditure or payment until paid, at a
rate equal to the rate as provided for past due principal under the Note
(provided that, should applicable law provide for a maximum permissible rate of
interest on such amounts, such rate shall not be greater than such maximum
permissible rate); all such amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall
be a part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
ARTICLE III.
Assignment of Rents. Profits, Income, Contracts and Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------
Section 3.1. Assignment. Mortgagor does hereby absolutely and
-----------
unconditionally assign, transfer and set over to Lender all rents, income,
receipts, revenues, profits, proceeds and other sums of money to be derived from
the Property (including but not limited to proceeds from the sale of oil, gas,
other hydrocarbons, and other minerals forming a part of, or transported or
gathered through, the Property, transportation or gathering fees, take or pay or
other minimum bill type payments, all proceeds payable under any policy of
insurance covering the loss of or interruption of business caused by destruction

interests, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals, royalties or any other
interest in oil, gas, other hydrocarbons, or other minerals in and under the
lands covered by the Mortgaged Properties), including without limitation the
immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all of such rents, income,
receipts, revenues, profits, proceeds, and other sums of money that may now or
at any time hereafter become due and payable to Mortgagor (the "Proceeds").
Section 3.2. Effectuating Payment of Production Proceeds to Lender.
------------------------------------------------------
Independent of the foregoing provisions and authorities herein granted, and
without limitation, Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Lender as
Mortgagor's special attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution, either
generally or for such periods or purposes as Lender may from time to time
prescribe) in the name, place and stead of Mortgagor to do any and every act and
exercise any and every power that Mortgagor might or could do or exercise
personally with respect to all Proceeds (the same having been assigned by
Mortgagor to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof), giving and granting unto
said attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every
act and thing whatsoever necessary and requisite to be done as fully and to all
intents and purposes, as Mortgagor might or could do if personally present. The
powers and authorities herein conferred upon Lender may be exercised by Lender
through any person who, at the time of the execution of the particular
instrument, is an officer of Lender. The power of attorney herein conferred is
granted for valuable consideration and hence
-13 -
is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Indebtedness, or
any part thereof, shall remain unpaid. All persons dealing with Lender or any
substitute shall be fully protected in treating the powers and authorities
conferred by this paragraph as continuing in full force and effect until advised
by Lender that all the Indebtedness is fully and finally paid. Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, take such action as it deems appropriate in an effort
to collect the Proceeds, and any reasonable expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees so incurred by Lender shall be a demand obligation of Mortgagor
and shall be part of the Indebtedness, and shall bear interest each day, from
the date of such expenditure or payment until paid, at the rate described in
Section 2.2 hereof.
Section 3.3. Application of Proceeds. So long as no default has occurred
------------------------
hereunder, the Proceeds received by Lender during each calendar month shall on
the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month (or, at the option
of Lender, on any earlier date) be applied by Lender (a) as provided for in the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (b) if not provided for in the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all Indebtedness then due and payable, in
------
such manner and order as Lender deems advisable;
SECOND, to the prepayment of the remainder of the Indebtedness in such
-------
manner and order and to such extent as Lender deems advisable; and
THIRD, the remainder, if any, of the Proceeds shall be paid over to
------
Mortgagor or to Mortgagor's order or to such other parties as may be
entitled thereto by law.
After a default hereunder has occurred, all Proceeds from time to time in the
hands of Lender shall be applied by it toward the payment of all Indebtedness
(principal, interest, attorneys' fees and other fees and expenses) at such times
and in such manner and order and to such extent as Lender deems advisable.
Section 3.4. Release From Liability: Indemnification. Lender and its
----------------------------------------
successors and assigns are hereby absolved from all liability for failure to
enforce collection of the Proceeds and from all other responsibility in
connection therewith, except the responsibility of each to account to Mortgagor
for funds actually received by each. Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Lender (for purposes of this paragraph, the term "Lender" shall include
the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Lender and any
persons or entities owned or controlled by or affiliated with Lender) from and
against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (including without
limitation consequential damages), causes of action, judgments, penalties, costs
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) imposed upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by Lender by reason
of the assertion that Lender received, either before or after payment in full of
the Indebtedness, funds claimed by third persons (and/or which Lender or
Mortgagor was otherwise not entitled to receive), and Lender shall have the
right to defend against any such claims or actions, employing attorneys of its
own selection, and if not furnished with indemnity satisfactory to it, Lender
shall have the right to compromise and adjust any such claims, actions and
judgments, and in addition to the rights to be indemnified as herein provided,
all amounts paid by Lender in compromise, satisfaction or discharge of any such
claim, action or judgment, and all court costs, attorneys' fees and other
expenses of every character expended by Lender pursuant to the provisions of
this section shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby
expressly promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to Lender and shall bear interest,
from the date expended until paid, at the rate described in Section 2.2 hereof.
The foregoing indemnities shall not terminate upon the Release Date or upon the
-14-
release, foreclosure or other termination of this Mortgage but will survive the
Release Date, foreclosure of this Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure,
and the repayment of the Indebtedness and the discharge and release of this
Mortgage and the other documents evidencing and/or securing the Indebtedness.
WITHOUT LIMITATION, IT IS THE INTENTION OF MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT
THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO
ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES), CAUSES OF ACTION. JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, COSTS AND
EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES)
WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH
(AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNIFIED PARTY. However, such indemnities shall not apply
to any particular indemnified party (but shall apply to the other indemnified
parties) to the extent the subject of the indemnification is caused by or arises
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such particular indemnified
party.
Section 3.5. Mortgagor's Absolute Obligation. Nothing herein contained
--------------------------------
shall detract from or limit the obligations of Mortgagor to make prompt payment
of the Guaranty, the Note, and any and all other Indebtedness, at the time and
in the manner provided herein and in the Loan Documents, regardless of whether
the Proceeds herein assigned are sufficient to pay same, and the rights under

Mortgagor's premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the
Collateral or to render it unusable; and
-17-
(ii) Lender may require Mortgagor to assemble the Collateral and make
it available at a place Lender designates which is mutually convenient to
allow Lender to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; and
(iii) written notice mailed to Mortgagor as provided herein at least
five (5) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior
to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will be made shall
constitute reasonable notice; and
(iv) in the event of a foreclosure of the liens and/or security
interests evidenced hereby, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the
Mortgaged Properties, or any part thereof may, at the option of Lender, be
sold, as a whole or in parts, together or separately (including, without
limitation, where a portion of the Mortgaged Properties is sold, the
Collateral related thereto may be sold in connection therewith); and
(v) the expenses of sale provided for in clause FIRST of Section 4.6
shall include the reasonable expenses of retaking the Collateral, or any
part thereof, holding the same and preparing the same for sale or other
disposition; and
(vi) should, under this subsection, the Collateral be disposed of
other than by sale, any proceeds of such disposition shall be treated under
Section 4.6 as if the same were sales proceeds.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the sale by Lender hereunder
of less than the whole of the Property shall not exhaust the powers of sale
herein granted or the right to judicial foreclosure, and successive sale or
sales may be made until the whole of the Property shall be sold, and, if the
proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than
the aggregate of the Indebtedness and the expense of conducting such sale, this
Mortgage and the liens and security interests hereof shall remain in full force
and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale had
been made; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall never have any right to
require the sale of less than the whole of the Property. In the event any sale
hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Lender, such sale
shall not exhaust the powers of sale hereunder or the right to judicial
foreclosure, and Lender shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales
to be made. Any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place
appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by law.
The Lender acting under power of sale, may appoint or delegate any one or more
persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale
held by it (including, without limitation, the posting of notices and the
conduct of sale). Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any
deed or deeds, or other instruments of transfer, given in connection with a sale
as to nonpayment of the Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or
as to Lender's having declared all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable, or
as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and
the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or
thing having been duly done, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth
of the facts so stated and recited. With respect to any sale held in foreclosure
of the liens and/or security interests covered hereby, it shall not be necessary
for Lender, any public officer acting under execution or order of the court or
any other party to have physically present or constructively in his/her or its
possession, either at the time of or prior to such sale, the Property or any
part thereof.
Section 4.5. Receiver. In addition to all other remedies herein provided
---------
for, Mortgagor agrees that, upon the occurrence
-18-
of a default or any event or circumstance which, with the lapse of time or the
giving or notice, or both, would constitute a default hereunder, Lender shall be
entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of
the Property, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale (or
sales) of such property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the
Property or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the payment of the
Indebtedness, and Mortgagor does hereby consent to the appointment of such
receiver or receivers, waives any and all defenses to such appointment, and
agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, and agrees that such
appointment shall in no manner impair, prejudice or otherwise affect the rights
of Lender under Article III hereof. Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive
Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege it may now or hereafter have
under the law to have a receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Lender in
connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which
obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to
Lender and shall bear interest, from the date of making such advancement by
Lender until paid, at the rate described in Section 2.2 hereof.
Section 4.6. Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any sale held in
------------------------
foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests evidenced hereby shall be
applied:
FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to
------
such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all court costs and
charges of every character in the event foreclosed by suit;
SECOND, to the payment of the Indebtedness (including specifically
-------
without limitation the principal, interest and attorneys' fees due and
unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Lender under
this Mortgage) in such manner and order as Lender may elect; and
THIRD, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to
------
Mortgagor, or to Mortgagor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors
or assigns, or such other persons as may be entitled thereto by law.
Section 4.7. Lender as Purchaser. Any party constituting Lender shall have
--------------------
the right to become the purchaser at any sale held in foreclosure of the liens
and/or security interests evidenced hereby, and any Lender purchasing at any
such sale shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made
therefor, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, the Indebtedness owing to
such Lender, or if such Lender holds less than all of such Indebtedness, the pro
rata part thereof owing to such Lender, accounting to all other Lenders not
joining in such bid in cash for the portion of such bid or bids apportionable to
such non-bidding Lender or Lenders.
Section 4.8. Foreclosure as to Mature Debt. Upon the occurrence of a
------------------------------
default, Lender shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure of the liens
and/or security interests evidenced hereby without declaring the entire
Indebtedness due, and in such event, any such foreclosure sale may be made
subject to the unmatured part of the Indebtedness and shall not in any manner
affect the unmatured part of the Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part,
this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had
been made. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 4.6
except that the amount paid under clause SECOND thereof shall be only the
matured portion of the Indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of
those provided for in clauses FIRST and SECOND (modified as provided above)
shall be applied as provided in clause SECOND and THIRD of Section 3.3 hereof.
Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any
unmatured part of the Indebtedness.
-19-
Section 4.9. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies herein provided for are
--------------------
cumulative of each other and of all other remedies existing at law or in equity
and are cumulative of any and all other remedies provided for in any other Loan
Document, and Lender shall, in addition to the remedies herein provided, be
entitled to avail itself of all such other remedies as may now or hereafter
exist at law or in equity for the collection of the Indebtedness and the
enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the liens and/or
security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any remedy provided for
hereunder or under any such other Loan Document or provided for by law shall not
prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate remedy
or remedies.
Section 4.10. Lender's Discretion as to Security. Lender may resort to any
-----------------------------------
security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or
hereafter given to secure the payment of the indebtedness, in whole or in part,
and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Lender in its sole
and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be
considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security
interests evidenced by this Mortgage.
Section 4.11. Mortgagor's Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent
-------------------------------------
Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist
upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter
in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption, and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor, Mortgagor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever
claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, hereby waives and releases all rights of appraisement, valuation, stay of
execution, redemption, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of
the Indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the
Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Mortgagor, including
the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of
foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests hereby created. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor shall not have or assert any right under
any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in
inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of
estates of decedents, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the
right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for
the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for
collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to the
payment of the Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in
preference to every other claimant whatever. If any law referred to in this
section and now in force, of which Mortgagor or Mortgagor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any
interest in the Mortgaged Properties or the Collateral might take advantage
despite this section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such
law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this section.
Section 4.12. Mortgagor as Tenant Post-Foreclosure. In the event there is a
-------------------------------------
foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Mortgagor or Mortgagor's
heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons
claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Mortgagor are
occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall
immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall
be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of either landlord or
tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property
occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any
language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand
immediate possession
-20-
following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. In
the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand,
the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for
possession of the property (such as an action for forcible entry and detainer)
in any court having jurisdiction.
ARTICLE V.
Miscellaneous
-------------
Section 5.1. Scope of Mortgage. This Mortgage is a mortgage of both real
------------------
and personal property, a security agreement, a financing statement and an
assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.
Section 5.2. Effective as a Financing Statement. This Mortgage shall be
-----------------------------------
effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all
fixtures included within the Property. This Mortgage is to be filed for record
in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Mortgaged
Properties is situated, and may also be filed in the offices of the Bureau of
Land Management or the Minerals Management Service or state agency (or any
successor agencies). This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing
statement covering any other Property and may be filed in any other appropriate
filing or recording office. The mailing address of Mortgagor is the address of
Mortgagor set forth at the end of this Mortgage and the address of Lender from
which information concerning the security interests hereunder may be obtained is
the address of Lender set forth at the end of this Mortgage.
Section 5.3. Reproduction of Mortgage as Financing Statement. A carbon,
------------------------------------------------
photographic, facsimile or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any
financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing
statement for any of the purposes referred to in Section 5.2.
Section 5.4. Notice to Account Debtors. In addition to, but without
--------------------------
limitation of, the rights granted in Article III hereof, Lender may at any time
notify the account debtors or obligors of any accounts, chattel paper,
negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness included in the
Collateral to pay Lender directly.
Section 5.5. Waiver by Lender. Lender may at any time and from time to time
-----------------
in writing waive compliance by Mortgagor with any covenant herein made by
Mortgagor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing, or consent
to Mortgagor's doing any act which hereunder Mortgagor is prohibited from doing,
or to Mortgagor's failing to do any act which hereunder Mortgagor is required to
do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing, or release any
part of the Property or any interest therein or any Proceeds from the lien and
security interest of this Mortgage, or release any party liable, either directly
or indirectly, for the Indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any other
Loan Document, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party.
No such act shall in any way impair the rights or powers of Lender hereunder
except to the extent specifically agreed to by Lender in such writing.
Section 5.6. No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and
--------------------------
other security rights of Lender hereunder shall not be impaired by any
indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Lender including, but not limited
to, any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect
to any indebtedness, or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension,
exchange or substitution which Lender may grant in respect of the Property
(including without limitation Proceeds), or any part thereof or any interest
therein, or any release or
-21-
indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any indebtedness.
Section 5.7. Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Lender. Lender may waive any
---------------------------------------
default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Lender may remedy
any default without waiving the default remedied. Neither failure by Lender to
exercise, nor delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any
default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the
right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or
partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust
the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such
right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to
time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any
departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in Writing and signed by Lender and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instances, for the purpose for which given and
to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any
case shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an
amount less than the amount then due on any Indebtedness shall be deemed an
acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a
default hereunder.
Section 5.8. Mortgagor's Successors. In the event the ownership of the
-----------------------
Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor,
Lender may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors
in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the indebtedness in the same
manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way vitiating or discharging
Mortgagor's liability hereunder or for the payment of the Indebtedness or
performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no
forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of the time for the payment
of the Indebtedness given by Lender shall operate to release, discharge, modify,
change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Mortgagor hereunder or
for the payment of the Indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured
hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder or for the payment of the
Indebtedness.
Section 5.9. Place of Payment. All Indebtedness which may be owing
-----------------
hereunder at any time by Mortgagor shall be payable at the place designated in
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (or if no such designation is made, at
the address of Lender indicated at the end of this Mortgage), or at such other
place as Lender may designate in writing.
Section 5.10. Subrogation to Existing Liens. To the extent that proceeds of
------------------------------
the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security
interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have
been advanced by Lender at Mortgagor's request, and Lender shall be subrogated
to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder
of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances,
irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances
are released, and it is expressly understood that, in consideration of the
payment of such indebtedness by Lender, Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all
demands and causes of action for offsets and payments to, upon and in connection
with the said indebtedness.
Section 5.11. Application of Payments to Certain Indebtedness. If any part
------------------------------------------------
of the Indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any part
of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest
hereof to the full extent of such Indebtedness, then all payments made shall be
applied on said Indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is
not secured by this Mortgage.
-22-
Section 5.12. Compliance with Usury Laws. It is the intent of Mortgagor,
---------------------------
Lender and all other parties to the Loan Documents to contract in strict
compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance
thereof, it is stipulated and agreed that none of the terms and provisions
contained herein shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the
use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount
of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in
effect.
Section 5.13. Release of Mortgage. If all of the Indebtedness be paid as
--------------------
the same becomes due and payable and all of the covenants, warranties,
undertakings and agreements made in this Mortgage are kept and performed and
Lender shall have no further obligation to provide credit or advance funds to
Mortgagor or the maker of any promissory note (or other obligor with respect to
other Indebtedness) secured hereby, then, Lender shall, at Mortgagor's request,
release this Mortgage, in due form and at Mortgagor's cost; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding such release, certain indemnifications, and other rights,
which are provided herein to continue following the release hereof, shall
continue in effect unaffected by such release.
Section 5.14. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other
--------
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by
telecopy, by delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered or
certified United States mail, postage prepaid, at the addresses specified at the
end of this Mortgage (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the
particular party whose address is to be changed). Any such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of personal
delivery or delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the
address and in the manner provided herein, (b) in the case of telecopy, upon
receipt, and (c) in the case of registered or certified United States mail,
three days after deposit in the mail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything
else in the Loan Documents which may appear to the contrary, any notice given in
connection with a foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests created
hereunder, or otherwise in connection with the exercise by Lender of its rights
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, which is given in a manner permitted
by applicable law shall constitute proper notice; without limitation of the
foregoing, notice given in a form required or permitted by statute shall (as to
the portion of the Property to which such statute is applicable) constitute
proper notice.
Section 5.15. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. A determination that any
---------------------------------
provision of this Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the
application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance is
illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such
provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.
Section 5.16. Gender: Titles. Within this Mortgage, words of any gender
---------------
shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the
singular number shall be held and construed to include the plural, unless the
context otherwise requires. Titles appearing at the beginning of any
subdivisions hereof are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such
subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in
such subdivisions.
Section 5.17. Recording. Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage and all
----------
amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor and all financing
statements and continuation statements relating thereto to be recorded, filed,
re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places as
-23-
Lender shall reasonably request and will pay all such recording, filing, re-
recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.
Section 5.18. Reporting Compliance. Mortgagor agrees to comply with any and
---------------------
all reporting requirements applicable to the transaction evidenced by the Note
and secured by this Mortgage which are set forth in any law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation, order or determination of any governmental authority, and
further agrees upon request of Lender to furnish Lender with evidence of such
compliance.
Section 5.19. Lender's Consent. Except where otherwise expressly provided
-----------------
herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of
judgment of Lender is required, the granting or denial of such approval or
consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole discretion of
Lender, and Lender shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to
grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular
manner, regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or Lender's
judgment.
Section 5.20. Certain Obligations of Mortgagor. Without limiting
---------------------------------
Mortgagor's obligations hereunder, Mortgagor liability hereunder shall extend to
and include all post petition interest, expenses, and other duties and
liabilities with respect to Mortgagor's obligations hereunder which would be
owed but for the fact that the same may be unenforceable due to the existence of
a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding.
Section 5.21. Restatement of Assigned Mortgages. It is the desire and
----------------------------------
intention of Mortgagor and Lender to renew all liens, rights, powers,
privileges, superior titles, estates and security interests existing by virtue
of the Partially Assigned Mortgage Rights and the Gathering System Mortgage, and
in connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that this Mortgage restates
and amends the Gathering System Mortgage in its entirety. This Mortgage renews
all liens, rights, powers, privileges, superior titles, estates and security
interests existing by virtue of the Gathering System Mortgage but the terms,
provisions and conditions of such liens, powers, privileges, superior titles,
estates and security interests shall hereafter be governed in all respects by
this Mortgage and any amendments or supplements thereto.
Section 5.22. Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in several
-------------
counterparts, all of which are identical. All of such counterparts together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 5.23. Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants,
-----------------------
representations, indemnifications and conditions hereof shall be binding upon
Mortgagor, and the successors and assigns of Mortgagor, and shall inure to the
benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and shall constitute covenants
running with the Mortgaged Properties. All references in this Mortgage to
Mortgagor or Lender shall be deemed to include all such successors and assigns.
Section 5.24. FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO MITTEN ORAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5.25. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
--------------
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS APPLICABLE
TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND THE LAWS OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EXCEPT THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF A STATE
IN WHICH A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED (OR WHICH IS OTHERWISE APPLICABLE
TO A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY) NECESSARILY GOVERNS WITH RESPECT TO PROCEDURAL AND
SUBSTANTIVE
-24-
MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS,
SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE LENDER GRANTED HEREIN,
THE LAW OF SUCH STATE SHALL APPLY AS TO THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED IN
(OR OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF) SUCH STATE.
Section 5.26. After Acquired Interests. If the Mortgagor shall hereafter
-------------------------
acquire any additional interest in any tract or parcel currently a part of the
Mortgaged Properties or shall hereafter acquire any interest in other lands in
the State of Michigan, then the Mortgagor shall promptly thereafter advise the
Lender of such acquisition and enter into such supplemental mortgages, security
agreements and financing statements pertaining thereto as may be reasonably
requested by the Lender to evidence and confirm of record the inclusion of such
interests in the Mortgaged Properties and subject to the lien and security
interest of this instrument.
Section 5.27 No Merger. If both the lessor's and lessee's estates under any
----------
lease or any portion thereof which constitutes a part of the Mortgaged
Properties shall at any time become vested in one owner, this instrument and the
lien and security interest created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated
by application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Lender shall
continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Lender as to the
separate estates. In addition, upon the foreclosure of the lien and security
interest created by this instrument on the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to the
provisions hereof, any leases or subleases then existing and created by the
Mortgagor shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of
merger or as a matter of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or
any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect. No act by or on
behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any
lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice
thereof to such tenant or subtenant. In addition, no interest held or acquired
by Lender under this instrument shall ever be deemed to merge with or into any
other interest held or acquired by Lender in the lands, properties or interests
comprising the Mortgaged Properties.
Section 5.28. Lender as Agent for its Affiliates. As described above,
-----------------------------------
certain Affiliates of the Lender, including without limitation, Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association, are or may become parties to certain
Hedging Agreements with the Mortgagor and/or Affiliates of the Mortgagor. This
Mortgage secures the obligations of the Mortgagor and such Affiliates, as the
case may be, under such Hedging Agreements, and the parties hereto acknowledge
for all purposes that the Lender acts as agent on behalf of such Affiliates of
the Lender which are so entitled to share in the rights and benefits accruing to
the Lender under this Mortgage.
Section 5.29. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
--------------
contained herein, Lender hereby agrees for itself and its successors and
assigns, that Lender's rights and remedies hereunder (the "Rights"), and any and
all liens and security interests granted in or pursuant to this Mortgage that
are granted to secure the Rights (the "Liens") as well as any interest in any
property or asset, including the Property, acquired by reason of the enforcement
of any of the Rights or the Liens are subject to the terms of the Subordination
Agreement, which provides, among other things, that the Rights and the Liens are
subject to the Participation Agreement as more particularly set forth therein.
This Section 5.29 shall be deemed a covenant binding upon and running with the
Property.
Section 5.30 Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding the general terms of
-----------------------
Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage or anything to the contrary
contained herein, Lender hereby agrees not to seek to satisfy Mortgagor's
obligations under this Mortgage out of any property, assets, revenues or funds
of
-25-
Mortgagor other than (i) MEC's Share of the Property (which shall remain subject
to the Subordination Agreement) or (ii) funds which are distributed to West
Shore and, in turn, to MEG from time to time pursuant to the Participation
Agreement.
