the Note or the Credit Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and
reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of
the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.
2. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.
2.1 Assignment. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, absolutely,
presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all rents, royalties, issues,
profits, revenue, income, accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property,
whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and
security deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may require,
"Rents"). This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.
2.2 Grant of License. Mortgagee hereby confers upon Mortgagor a
license ("License") to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and
payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall
exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Mortgagee shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole
discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon
Mortgagor, and without regard to the adequacy of Mortgagee's security under this
Mortgage.
2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License
granted to Mortgagor under Section 2.2 above, Mortgagee has the right, power and
authority to collect any and all Rents. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its
attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the
times when Mortgagee in its sole discretion may so choose:
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-4-
(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all
Rents; or
(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and
all Rents; or
(c) Xxx either in the name of Mortgagor or in the name of
Mortgagee for any and all Rents.
Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment
granted herein entitles Mortgagee immediately to collect and receive rents upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2, without first
taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such as, but not limited
to, providing notice to Mortgagor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking
and/or obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Mortgagee's right to
the Rents does not depend on whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of the
Property as permitted under Subsection 6.3(c). In Mortgagee's sole discretion,
Mortgagee may choose to collect Rents either with or without taking possession
of the Property. Mortgagee shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner
provided under Section 6.6. If an Event of Default occurs while Mortgagee is in
possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents
as permitted under this Mortgage, Mortgagee and any receiver shall nevertheless
be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them
under this Mortgage and at law or in equity.
2.4 Mortgagee Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall
Mortgagee have any duty to produce Rents from the Property. Regardless of
whether or not Mortgagee, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the
Premises and Improvements, unless Mortgagee agrees in writing to the contrary,
Mortgagee is not and shall not be deemed to be:
(a) A "mortgagee in possession" for any purpose; or
(b) Responsible for performing any of the obligations of
the lessor under any lease; or
(c) Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any
other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or
any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the
Property, unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or
bad faith of Mortgagee; or
(d) Liable in any manner for the Property or the use,
occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.
2.5 Leasing. Mortgagor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment
of rents under the leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without
Mortgagee's prior written consent. Mortgagor shall not lease the Property or any
part of it except strictly in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to
create a lien on the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in
favor of Mortgagee. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some
or all of the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal
property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or Rents may be or be
determined to be personal property, Mortgagor as debtor hereby grants Mortgagee
as
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-5-
secured party a security interest in all such Property and Rents, to secure
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Mortgage constitutes a
security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the
Property is located, covering all such Property and Rents.
3.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to
file one or more financing statements. In addition, Mortgagor shall execute such
other documents as Mortgagee may from time to time require to perfect or
continue the perfection of Mortgagee's security interest in any Property or
Rents. As provided in Section 5.10 below, Mortgagor shall pay all fees and costs
that Mortgagee may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in
obtaining such record searches as Mortgagee may reasonably require. In case
Mortgagor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the
perfection or continuation of any security interest, Mortgagor hereby appoints
Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents
on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the
records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be
construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights
or obligations of the parties under it.
4. FIXTURE FILING.
This Mortgage constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture
filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the
Property is located, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any
Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Premises or
Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Mortgagor, as
debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party, are as set forth in the preambles of
this Mortgage.
5. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES.

warrants that:

title to all of the Premises and Improvements;
(b) Mortgagor has or will have good title to all Property
other than the Premises and Improvements;
(c) Mortgagor has the full and unlimited power, right and
authority to encumber the Property and assign the Rents;

(g) Mortgagor's place of business, or its chief executive
office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the
address specified below.
5.2 Taxes, and Assessments. Mortgagor shall, prior to delinquency,
pay or cause to be paid each installment of all taxes and special assessments of
every kind, now or hereafter levied against the Property or any part thereof,
without notice or demand, and shall provide Mortgagee with evidence of the
payment of same. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes and assessments which may be
levied upon Mortgagee's or the Lenders' interest herein or upon this Mortgage or
the debt secured hereby (excluding any income taxes or similar charges imposed
upon Mortgagee or the Lenders), without regard to any law that may be enacted
imposing payment of the whole or any part thereof upon the Mortgagee or any
Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary,
Mortgagor shall have the right to pay or cause to be paid any such tax or
special assessment under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or special
assessment but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the
collection of such tax or special assessment so contested and also prevent the
sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,
(ii) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee in writing of its intent to contest
such tax or special assessment, and (iii) if so requested in writing by
Mortgagee, Mortgagor has deposited security in form and amount reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee, and increases the amount of such security so
deposited promptly after Mortgagee's request therefor. Mortgagor shall prosecute
or cause the prosecution of all such contest actions in good faith and with due
diligence.
5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor shall promptly
pay and perform each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.
5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall immediately
discharge any lien on the Property which Mortgagee has not consented to in
writing in accordance with the terms of Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement.
5.5 Damages, Restoration, and Insurance Proceeds. As long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all insurance proceeds for
losses at the Property of less than $500,000.00 shall be adjusted with and
payable to the Mortgagor. In case of loss, Mortgagee shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to participate in and reasonably approve the settlement of
any insurance claim in excess of $500,000.00 and all claims thereafter, and
Mortgagee is at all times authorized to collect and receive any insurance money
for those claims which Mortgagee is entitled to approve the settlement of
hereunder however, notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Property is damaged and
the Borrower elects to release the Property from the Collateral Pool in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(c) of the Credit Agreement, upon such
release, all insurance proceeds for such damage to the Property shall be payable
to the Mortgagor.
At the election of Mortgagee, such insurance proceeds may be applied to
reduce the outstanding balance of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or
to pay for costs of repair and restoration of the Property; provided, however,
that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
Mortgagee shall make such insurance proceeds available to pay for such costs of
repair and restoration. If Mortgagee is entitled to and does elect to apply
insurance proceeds in payment or reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby,
then Mortgagee shall reduce the then outstanding balance of the Advances by the
amount of the insurance proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee. In the
event that Mortgagee does not elect to apply the insurance proceeds to the
indebtedness secured hereby as set forth above, such
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-7-
insurance proceeds shall be used to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of
rebuilding or restoring the Premises. The Premises shall be so restored or
rebuilt as to be substantially the same quality and character as the Premises
were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans
and specifications or to such other condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably
approve in writing.
If Mortgagee elects to make the proceeds available for repair and
restoration, any request by Mortgagor for a disbursement by Mortgagee of fire or
casualty insurance proceeds and funds deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee
pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be treated by Mortgagee as if such request
were for an Advance under the Credit Agreement, and the disbursement thereof
shall be conditioned upon the Borrower's compliance with and satisfaction of the
same conditions precedent as would be applicable under the Credit Agreement for
such an Advance, and during any such period that funds are available to the
Borrower for application to restore the Property, the amount of the Borrowing
Base attributable to the Property shall be determined in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement. Additionally, such disbursement shall also be
conditioned upon Borrower's providing to Administrative Agent: updated title
insurance, satisfactory evidence, as reasonably determined by Administrative
Agent, that the Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be of at least
equal value and quality and substantially the same character as the Premises
were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans
and specifications or to such other condition as Administrative Agent shall
reasonably approve in writing, satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of
completion thereof and with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien,
contractors' sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as
Administrative Agent may reasonably require and approve. The undisbursed balance
of insurance proceeds shall at all times be sufficient to pay for the cost of
completion of the work free and clear of liens and if such proceeds are
insufficient, Mortgagor shall deposit the amount of such deficiency with
Mortgagee prior to the disbursement by Mortgagee of (i) any insurance proceeds
or (ii) any additional Advances under the Credit Agreement for such purpose.
5.6 Condemnation Proceeds. Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and
sets over unto Mortgagee its entire interest in the proceeds (the "Condemnation
Proceeds") of any award or any claim for damages for any of the Property taken
or damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any
transaction in lieu of condemnation ("Condemnation"), unless, notwithstanding
the forgoing, (i) such taking, damage or condemnation does not cause a material
diminution in the value of the Premises or (ii) Mortgagor elects to release the
Property in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(c) of the Credit Agreement,
in which case, upon such release, all Condemnation Proceeds for damages to the
Property shall be payable to the Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall make available to
Mortgagor the Condemnation Proceeds for the restoration of the Premises if
Mortgagor satisfies all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.6 hereof
for disbursement of insurance proceeds. In all other cases Mortgagee shall have
the right, at its option, to apply the Condemnation Proceeds upon or in
reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, whether due or not. If Mortgagee
is entitled to and does elect to apply Condemnation Proceeds upon or in
reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, then Mortgagee shall reduce the
then outstanding balance of the Advances under the Credit Agreement by the
amount of the Condemnation Proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee and the
Borrowing Base reduced. If the Condemnation Proceeds are required to be used as
aforesaid to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring
buildings or improvements on the Property, or if Mortgagee elects that the
Condemnation Proceeds be so used, and the buildings and other improvements shall
be rebuilt or restored, the Condemnation
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-8-
Proceeds shall be paid out in the same manner as is provided in this Section 5.6
hereof for the payment of insurance proceeds toward the cost of rebuilding or
restoration of such buildings and other improvements. Any surplus which may
remain out of the Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such cost of rebuilding
or restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied on account of the
indebtedness secured hereby or be paid to any other party entitled thereto.

which adversely affects the Property or any material part of it, except
with Mortgagee's express prior written consent in each instance; the

use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable Laws or

be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen; or (ii) any public or
private covenant, condition, restriction or equitable servitude
affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not bring or keep any article
on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, if that
could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage
required to be maintained by Mortgagor on the Property or any part of
it under the Credit Agreement.
(d) Mortgagor shall not commit or allow waste of the
Property, including those acts or omissions characterized under the
Credit Agreement as waste which arises out of Materials of

terms and conditions as set forth in Section 2.7(c) of Credit Agreement for

that the requirements of either clause (a) or clause (b) above have been
satisfied, shall release this Mortgage and the lien thereof by proper instrument
upon payment and discharge of the amounts required under the Credit Agreement
and payment of any filing fee in connection with such release. Mortgagor shall
pay any costs of preparation and recordation of such release.
5.10 Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

to Mortgagor or any other person as a consequence of any of the
following:
(i) Mortgagee's exercise of or failure to
exercise any rights, remedies or powers granted to Mortgagee
in this Mortgage;
(ii) Mortgagee's failure or refusal to perform or
discharge any obligation or liability of Mortgagor under any
agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or
(iii) Any loss sustained by Mortgagor or any third
party resulting from Mortgagee's failure to lease the
Property, or from any other act or omission of Mortgagee in
managing the Property, after an Event of Default, unless the
loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or
bad faith of Mortgagee.
Mortgagor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the
types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be
asserted against or imposed upon Mortgagee.
(c) Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against and
hold it harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes
of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and other legal
expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of value, and
other costs and expenses which it may suffer or incur, unless caused by
the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Mortgagee:
(i) In performing any act required or permitted
by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by law;
(ii) Because of any failure of Mortgagor to
perform any of its obligations; or
(iii) Because of any alleged obligation of or
undertaking by Mortgagee to perform or discharge any of the
representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other
obligations in any document relating to the Property other
than the Loan Documents.
This agreement by Mortgagor to indemnify Mortgagee shall survive the
release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured Obligations and
the full or partial release of this Mortgage.
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-11-
(d) Mortgagor shall pay all obligations to pay money
arising under this Section 5.9 immediately upon demand by Mortgagee.
Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of,
the principal of the Note, and shall bear interest from the date the
obligation arises at the Default Rate.
5.11 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Mortgagor's sole
expense, Mortgagor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to
and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage and
the rights and powers of Mortgagee created under it, against all adverse claims.
Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted
which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or proceeding is
commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.
5.12 Subrogation. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the liens of all
encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole
or in part by Mortgagee in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of
any loan secured by this Mortgage.
5.13 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Mortgagee and its agents
and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and
visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals, observing the
Property, and conducting non-invasive tests (unless Mortgagee has a good faith
reason to believe that the taking and removing soil or groundwater samples is
required, and in such case, conducting such tests) on any part of the Property.
Mortgagee has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct
tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives shall impose any liability on any of Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by
Mortgagee, its agents or representatives be a representation that Materials of
Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or
that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance
pertaining to Materials of Environmental Concern or any other applicable
governmental law. Neither Mortgagor nor any other party is entitled to rely on
any site visit, observation or testing by any of Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives. Neither Mortgagee, its agents or representatives owe any duty
of care to protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor
or any other party of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other
adverse condition affecting the Property. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor
reasonable notice before entering the Property. Mortgagee shall make reasonable
efforts to avoid interfering with Mortgagor's use of the Property in exercising
any rights provided in this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
rights granted to Mortgagee under this Section 5.13 are subject to all rights of
tenants to the Property.
5.14 Notice of Change. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prior written
notice of any change in: (a) the location of its place of business or its chief
executive office if it has more than one place of business; (b) the location of
any of the Property, including the Books and Records; and (c) Mortgagor's name
or business structure. Unless otherwise approved by Mortgagee in writing, all
Property that consists of personal property (other than the Books and Records)
will be located on the Premises and all Books and Records will be located at
Mortgagor's place of business or chief executive office if Mortgagor has more
than one place of business.
6. TRANSFERS, DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
6.1 Transfers. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee is making one
or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill
and experience of
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-12-
Mortgagor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in
nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Mortgagee's reliance,
Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not make any transfer of the Property or
transfer of its interests therein, except for leases in the ordinary course (a
"Transfer"), unless the Transfer is preceded by Mortgagee's express written
consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Mortgagee may withhold
such consent in its sole discretion.
6.2 Events of Default. Mortgagor will be in default under this
Mortgage upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or
all collectively, "Events of Default;" any one singly, an "Event of Default"):
(a) If a default shall occur with respect to covenants,
agreements and obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage involving
the payment of money (other than a default in the payment of principal
when due as provided in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement) and shall
continue for a period of five (5) business days after the due date
thereof; or
(b) If there is a failure to perform or observe any of
the other covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this
Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof, and such default
continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice from Mortgagee to defaulting Mortgagor of the occurrence
thereof; or
(c) An "Event of Default" occurs under the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
6.3 Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Mortgagee
shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described
below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at
law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the
exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of
remedies.
(a) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of
any Event of Default above under subsections 6.2 (a) or 6.2 (b) above,
the Property shall no longer be eligible to be included in the
calculation of the Borrowing Base unless the Required Lenders consent
to its continued inclusion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under subsection 6.2 (c) above, or if upon removal of the Property from
the Borrowing Base, the Borrower does not reduce the outstanding
balance of the Loans to be less than or equal to the recomputed
Borrowing Base within the time period allowed under Section 2.7(b) of
the Credit Agreement, then the whole of said principal sum hereby
secured shall, at once either automatically or at the option of
Mortgagee as described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement, become
immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon,
without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to
Mortgagor.
(b) Receiver. Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right,
without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone claiming
by, under or through Mortgagor, and without regard for the solvency or
insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Property, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver
appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the
proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers
referenced below and such other rights and
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-13-
powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor
hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not
oppose any such appointment. Such receiver shall have all powers and
duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers which are
necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession,
control, management and operation of the Property, and such rights and
powers as Mortgagee would have, upon entering and taking possession of
the Property under subsection (c) below.
(c) Entry. Mortgagee, in person, by agent or by
court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and
operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all
other things in connection with those actions that Mortgagee may in its
sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the
security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include: taking and
possessing all of Mortgagor's or the then owner's Books and Records;
entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling leases on such terms
and conditions as Mortgagee may consider proper; obtaining and evicting
tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any
payment of money owing to Mortgagee; completing any unfinished
construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and
alterations. If Mortgagee so requests, Mortgagor shall assemble all of
the Property that has been removed from the Premises and make all of it
available to Mortgagee at the site of the Premises. Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's
attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as
Mortgagee in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in
connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of
Mortgagor's name on any instruments.
(d) Cure; Protection of Security. Mortgagee may cure any
breach or default of Mortgagor, and if it chooses to do so in
connection with any such cure, Mortgagee may also enter the Property
and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion
consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this
Mortgage, including, without limitation, completing construction of the
improvements at the Property contemplated by the Credit Agreement. Such
other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or
proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or
powers of Mortgagee under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing,
contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of
lien which in Mortgagee's sole judgment is or may be senior in priority
to this Mortgage, such judgment of Mortgagee or to be conclusive as
among the parties to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying
any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the
Credit Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of
the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and
other appropriate persons to assist Mortgagee. Mortgagee may take any
of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or
without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Mortgagee
under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Mortgage.
(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Mortgagee may
exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is
located.
(f) Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Mortgagee shall have the
right, in one or several concurrent or consecutive proceedings, to
foreclose the lien hereof upon the Property or any part thereof, for
the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, by any proceedings
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-14-
appropriate under applicable law. Mortgagee or its nominee may bid and
become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any
foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Mortgagee's
successful bid shall be credited on the Secured Obligations. Without
limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may proceed by a suit or suits in law
or equity, whether for specific performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power
herein granted, or for any foreclosure under the judgment or decree of
any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to the right provided
in Subsection 6.3(a), upon, or at any time after the filing of a
complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver of the property by the court in which
such complaint is filed, and Mortgagor hereby consents to such
appointment.
(g) Other Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise all rights and
remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or
other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by
Mortgagor or any other person or entity in favor of Mortgagee in
connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without
prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to enforce any
appropriate remedy against Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall have the right to
pursue all remedies afforded to a mortgagee under applicable law, and
shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law,
including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time
to time after the date hereof.
(h) Sale of Personal Property. Mortgagee shall have the
discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which
constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in
any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.
(i) For purposes of this power of sale,
Mortgagee may elect to treat as personal property any Property
which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises
or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it
chooses to do so, Mortgagee may dispose of any personal
property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located,
including any public or private sale, or in any manner
permitted by any other applicable law.
(ii) In connection with any sale or other
disposition of such Property, Mortgagor agrees that the
following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable
sale: Mortgagee shall mail written notice of the sale to
Mortgagor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale.
Mortgagee will publish notice of the sale in a local daily
newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written
request, Mortgagee will make the Property available to any
bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during
reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Mortgagee shall be
under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment,
none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the
Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not
constitute the only procedures that may be commercially
reasonable.
(i) Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property
consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Mortgagee
may:
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-15-
(i) Designate the order in which the lots,
parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered
for sale or disposition; and
(ii) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or
items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be
held or made under or in connection with judicial proceedings,
or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale;
or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any
other manner Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interests
(any such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" and any
two or more, "Foreclosure Sales").
If Mortgagee chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale,
Mortgagee at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be
held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on
such different days and at such different times and in such
order as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interests. No
Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens of this
Mortgage on any part of the Property which has not been sold,
until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
6.4 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including
Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it
to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such
property, Mortgagee may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales
price of the property against the following obligations:
(a) First, the portion of the Secured Obligations
attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other
sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to pay or reimburse Mortgagee
under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; and
(b) Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order
and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose.
6.5 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Mortgagee shall
apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner:
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations
attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other
sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to reimburse Mortgagee under
Section 5.10 of this Mortgage;
(b) Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations
attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Mortgagee under the
terms of this Mortgage which then remain unpaid;
(c) Third, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any
order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose;
and
(d) Fourth, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person
or persons entitled to it.
6.6 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Mortgagee shall apply any
and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a
Foreclosure Sale which Mortgagee may receive or collect under Section 6.3 above,
in the following manner:
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-16-
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations
attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that
may be incurred by Mortgagee or any receiver;
(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any
order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose;
and
(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person
or persons entitled to it.
Mortgagee shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually
receive.
7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
7.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of
the terms and conditions of the parties' agreement regarding the matters
mentioned in or incidental to this Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant
further rights to Mortgagee and contain further agreements and affirmative and
negative covenants by Mortgagor which apply to this Mortgage and to the
Property.
7.2 No Waiver or Cure.
(a) Each waiver by Mortgagee must be in writing, and no
waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be
implied from any delay or failure by Mortgagee to take action on
account of any default of Mortgagor. Consent by Mortgagee to any act or
omission by Mortgagor shall not be construed as a consent to any other
or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for
Mortgagee's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.
(b) If any of the events described below occurs, that
event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or
notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act performed
pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any
notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have
been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents
have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or prejudice
Mortgagee or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy
afforded any of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an
affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option, or a
subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.
(i) Mortgagee, its agent or a receiver takes
possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner
provided in Subsection 6.3(c).
(ii) Mortgagee collects and applies Rents as
permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.6 above, either with or
without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.
(iii) Mortgagee receives and applies to any
Secured Obligation any proceeds of any Property, including any
proceeds of insurance policies, condemnation awards, or other
claims, property or rights assigned to Mortgagee under Section
5.5 and Section 5.6 above.
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-17-
(iv) Mortgagee makes a site visit, observes the
Property and/or conducts tests as permitted under Section 5.13

Mortgage or any proceeds of any collateral held for any of the
Secured Obligations, and applies them to one or more Secured
Obligations.
(vi) Mortgagee or any receiver invokes any right
or remedy provided under this Mortgage.
7.3 Powers of Mortgagee.
(a) If Mortgagee performs any act which it is empowered
or authorized to perform under this Mortgage, including any act
permitted by Section 5.8 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Mortgage, that
act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any
person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then
outstanding, or the lien of this Mortgage on all or the remainder of
the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding
Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Mortgagor shall not
be released or changed if Mortgagee grants any successor in interest to
Mortgagor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the
terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Mortgagee shall not be
required to comply with any demand by the original Mortgagor that
Mortgagee refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or
commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.
(b) Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under
Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the
security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the
Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and
payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been
given under this Mortgage.
(c) From time to time, Mortgagee may apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and
enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage.
Mortgagee may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing,
confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights
and remedies.
7.4 Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Mortgagee's
acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Mortgagee
consents to a merger in writing.
7.5 Joint and Several Liability. If Mortgagor consists of more
than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful
performance of all of Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage.
7.6 Applicable Law. The creation, perfection and enforcement of
the lien of this Mortgage shall be governed by the law of the State in which the
property is located. Subject to the foregoing, in all other respects, this
Mortgage shall be governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky.
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-18-
7.7 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of
this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 7.7 does not waive
the provisions of Section 6.1 above.
7.8 Interpretation.
(a) Whenever the context requires, all words used in the
singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice
versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of
the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not
define or limit any terms or provisions. The word "include(s)" means
"include(s), without limitation," and the word "including" means
"including, but not limited to."
(b) The word "obligations" is used in its broadest and
most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct,
indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all
principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and
any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as
all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.
(c) No listing of specific instances, items or matters in
any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this
Mortgage. The Exhibits to this Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this
Mortgage.
7.9 In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Mortgagor is obligated to pay
or reimburse Mortgagee for any attorneys' fees, those fees shall include the
reasonable and customary allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.
7.10 Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law,
Mortgagor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself
of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any
so-called "Moratorium Laws," now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to
prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby
waives the benefit of such laws. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim
through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates
comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and
agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the
Property sold as an entirety. Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of
redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Mortgage on
behalf of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any
interest in or title to the Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the
date of this Mortgage. The foregoing waiver of right of redemption is made
pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.
7.11 Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage should be held
unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the
remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Mortgage
except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then
Mortgagee may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due
and payable.
7.12 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication
which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be

7.13 Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to, and the parties
intend that it shall secure indebtedness, exclusive of interest thereon, in a
maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment from time to time under the
Credit Agreement which shall be an amount up to
Prestonburg, Kentucky
-20-
$150,000,000 which indebtedness may include advances made at the request of
Mortgagor or its respective successor(s) in title after this Mortgage is filed
of record to the fullest extent and with the highest priority contemplated by
law (including disbursements that the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated
to, make under this Mortgage, the Loan Documents or any other document with
respect thereto) plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the
enforcement of this Mortgage and any remedies hereunder, payment of taxes,
special assessments, utilities or insurance on the Property and interest on such
disbursements and all disbursements by Mortgagee pursuant to applicable law (all
such indebtedness being hereinafter referred to as the maximum amount secured
hereby). This Mortgage shall be valid and have priority to the extent of the
maximum amount secured hereby over all subsequent liens and encumbrances,
including statutory liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the
Property given priority by law. All future advances under the Credit Agreement,
the Notes, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall have the same
priority as if the future advance was made on the date that this Mortgage was
recorded
7.14 Mortgagee's Lien for Service Charge and Expenses. At all
times, regardless of whether any Loan proceeds have been disbursed, this
Mortgage secures the payment of any and all loan commissions, service charges,
liquidated damages, expenses and advances due to or incurred by Mortgagee not to
exceed the maximum amount secured hereby. For purposes hereof, all obligations
of Mortgagor to Mortgagee under all Rate Management Transactions and any
indebtedness or obligation contained therein or evidenced thereby shall be
considered an obligation of Mortgagor secured hereby pursuant to the Credit
Agreement; provided however that in no event shall the total amount secured
hereby exceed $150,000,000.
7.15 Advances. The loan evidenced by the Notes is a "revolving
credit loan". The lien of the Mortgage shall secure all advances made pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement to the same extent as if such future advances were
made on the date of execution of the Mortgage, provided that such advances are
made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof. Although there may be no
indebtedness outstanding on the Note at the time any such advance is made, the
lien of the Mortgage as to third persons without actual notice thereof, shall be
valid as to all such indebtedness and future advances from the time this
Mortgage is filed for record. The total amount of the indebtedness evidenced by
the Notes and secured by the Mortgage may increase or decrease from time to
time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time shall not exceed
the maximum amount specified in Section 7.14 plus interest thereon and any
disbursements made for the payment of taxes, special assessments, insurance or
other disbursements made pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, the Credit
Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.
7.16 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. MORTGAGOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, THE
NOTE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR
ACTIONS OF MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS MORTGAGE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY
INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS
DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. MORTGAGOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES

WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE TO MAKE THE
LOAN, ENTER INTO

BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED
THEREIN.
7.17 Incorporation of Credit Agreement and Environmental Indemnity
Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and that certain
Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the "Indemnity") dated as of even date
herewith, are incorporated herein by express reference. All advances and
indebtedness arising and accruing under the Credit Agreement from time to time,
whether or not the resulting indebtedness secured hereby may exceed the face
amount of the Notes, shall be secured hereby to the same extent as though said
Credit Agreement were fully incorporated in this Mortgage, and the occurrence of
any Event of Default under said Credit Agreement shall constitute a Event of
Default under this Mortgage entitling Mortgagee to all of the rights and
remedies conferred upon Mortgagee by the terms of both this Mortgage and the
Credit Agreement. Mortgagor hereby agrees to comply with all covenants and
fulfill all obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement and Indemnity which
pertain to the Premises as if Mortgagor were a party to such documents. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Mortgage and
the Credit Agreement or Indemnity, the terms and provisions of the Credit
Agreement or Indemnity as the case may be, shall in each instance govern and
control.
7.18 Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between
this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the terms hereof shall be controlling as
necessary to create, preserve and/or maintain a valid security interest upon the
Property, otherwise the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall be controlling.
7.19 Partial Invalidity; Maximum Allowable Rate of Interest.
Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend and believe that each provision in this Mortgage
and the Notes comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion
of any provision or provisions, in this Mortgage or the Notes is found by a
court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal
ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy,
and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this
Mortgage and the Notes to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable
as written, then it is the intent both of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that such
portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible
extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this
Mortgage and the Notes shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful,
void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained
therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Mortgagor and
Mortgagee under the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall continue in
full force and effect. All agreements herein and in the Notes are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid
principal balance of the Notes, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid to the Holders for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be
advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable
usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision
hereof or of the Notes or any other agreement referred to herein, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the Holders
shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful
rate, such amount which

would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid
principal balance due under the Notes and not to the payment of interest.
7.20 UCC Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes
Mortgagee to file UCC financing statements to perfect Mortgagee's security
interest in any part of the Property. In addition, Mortgagor agrees to sign any
and all other documents that Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to
perfect, protect, and continue Mortgagee's lien and security interest on the
Property.
7.21 Applicable Law. This Mortgage shall be construed, interpreted
and governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.
7.22 Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. With respect to the Property which is located in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary:
7.22.1 Pursuant to KRS 382.385, it is acknowledged that the
loan evidenced by the Notes is a loan that constitutes a line of credit or
revolving credit plan under Section 382.385(2). The maximum principal amount
that may be advanced under the revolving loan (not including any future
nonobligatory advances that may be made by Mortgagee) is $150,000,000.
7.22.2 This Mortgage shall secure (a) all renewal notes
executed in lieu of the Notes, (b) any extension(s) of the Notes, and (c) any
additional indebtedness not to exceed the amount of One Hundred Fifty Million
Dollars ($150,000,000), which Mortgagor may owe to Mortgagee, whether direct,
indirect, future, contingent or otherwise and whether arising under this
Mortgage or otherwise.
