The Mortgagor agrees to pay the Principal Amount with interest before and after maturity and before and after default at the rate of _ _ _ _ _ _ percent calculated per annum and compounding annually (the "Interest Rate").

OBLIGATION TO PAY WITHOUT SET-OFF OR DELAY

6. The Mortgagor agrees to pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Mortgage and all additional amounts secured by this Mortgage without abatement, set-off or counterclaim. Should the Mortgagor make any claim against the Mortgagee either initially or by way of abatement, set-off or counterclaim, the Mortgagor agrees that any such claim will not diminish or delay the Mortgagor's obligations to make the payments as provided in this Mortgage.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT

7. All monthly payments received by the Mortgagee will first be applied in payment of the interest calculated at the Interest Rate, and second in payment of the Principal Amount. However, if the Mortgagor is in default, then the Mortgagee will apply any payments received during this period as the Mortgagee chooses. If the Mortgagor is in default in payment of any amount including interest, interest will be payable on the interest and other arrears at the Interest Rate compounded monthly.

ANNUAL PREPAYMENT PRIVILEGES

8. When not in default, the Mortgagor may prepay an amount not greater than 20.00% of the original Principal Amount of the Mortgage anytime during the year, up to and including the anniversary date of the Interest Adjustment Date (the "Annual Prepayment"). The Mortgagor may prepay any unpaid Annual Prepayment from previous years in addition to the Annual Prepayment from the current year.

FULL PREPAYMENT PRIVILEGES

9. The Mortgagor may prepay the full outstanding balance (including the principal and any accrued interest) at any time upon payment of three months' interest at the existing interest rate as set out in the Mortgage or, if renewed, in the agreement for the last renewal of the Mortgage calculated on the full principal amount being repaid.

DISCHARGE

10. When the Mortgagor pays the Principal Amount, interest and all the other amounts secured by this Mortgage in full and notifies the Mortgagee in writing and requests a discharge of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee will discharge this Mortgage. The Mortgagor will give the Mortgagee a reasonable time after payment in which to prepare and issue the discharge.

COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES

11. The Mortgagor warrants and agrees that:

    1. the Mortgagor has good title to the Property;

    2. the Mortgagor will preserve the Mortgagor's title to the Property and the validity and priority of this Mortgage and will forever warrant and defend the same for the Mortgagee against the claims of all persons;

    3. the Mortgagor has the authority to mortgage the Property;

    4. on default, the Mortgagee will have quiet possession of the Property;

    5. the Property is free from all encumbrances;

    6. the Mortgagor will execute further assurance of the Property as will be requisite;

    7. the Mortgagor has not done any act to encumber the Property.

FIXTURES AND ADDITIONS

12. The Mortgagor agrees that the Property includes all property of any kind that is now or at any time in the future attached or affixed to the land or buildings or placed on and used in connection with them, as well as all alterations, additions and improvements to the buildings.

PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER ENCUMBRANCES

13. The Mortgagor will pay all taxes and other fees levied on the Property and all accounts for utilities supplied to the Property and all charges, mortgages, liens and other encumbrances on the Property (the "Taxes") when they are due and comply with all other obligations under them. Upon the Mortgagee's request, the Mortgagor will promptly provide receipts showing that the Taxes have been paid.
    
    Alternatively, at the Mortgagee's discretion, rather than paying the Taxes directly, the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee, on the day periodic payments are due under this Mortgage, a sum in escrow to provide for payment of the Taxes.

NO SALE WITHOUT CONSENT

14. The Mortgagor will not sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Property or any interest in the Property or if a corporation, permit a change in control, without the Mortgagee's prior written approval. Any transfer approved by the Mortgagee must involve the purchaser, transferee or lessee entering into an assumption agreement in a form satisfactory to the Mortgagee. Acceptance of any payments from any purchaser, transferee or lessee or after a change in control not approved in writing, will not constitute an approval or waiver by the Mortgagee.

PROPERTY INSURANCE

15. The Mortgagor will insure, in the Mortgagee's favour, all buildings on the Property that are the subject of the Mortgage. The insurance will include protection against damage by fire and other perils including “extended peril coverage” and any other perils that the Mortgagee requests. The insurance must cover replacement costs of any buildings on the Property in Canadian dollars. The Mortgagor will choose the insurance company but the final selection is subject to the Mortgagee's approval. The insurance policies will include a standard mortgage clause stating that any loss is payable to the Mortgagee. This Mortgage will be sufficient proof for any insurance company to pay any claims to the Mortgagee and to accept instructions from the Mortgagee regarding any insurance claims relating to the Property.

16. The Mortgagor will provide the following at the request of the Mortgagee:

    1. a copy of the insurance policy;

    2. receipts of all paid insurance premiums; and

    3. renewal notices and evidence of renewal completion.

17. In the event of loss, the Mortgagor will provide prompt notice to the Mortgagee and the insurance carrier. The Mortgagor will provide the Mortgagee proof of all claims at the Mortgagor's own expense and will perform all necessary acts to enable the Mortgagor to obtain all insurance proceeds from the claim. The insurance proceeds, in whole or in part, will be applied to the restoration and repair of the Property, if the restoration and repair is economically feasible. If the restoration and repair is not economically feasible, then the insurance proceeds will be applied to the remainder of the Mortgage, whether or not the balance of the Mortgage is then due. Any remaining funds from the insurance claim will be paid to the Mortgagor.

REPAIR, VACANCY AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY

18. The Mortgagor will maintain the Property in good order and condition and will promptly make all necessary repairs, replacements, and improvements. The Mortgagor will not allow any part of the Property to become or remain vacant without the written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will not commit waste and will not remove, demolish or materially alter the Property or any part of it without prior written consent from the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee may, whenever necessary, enter upon and inspect the Property. If the Mortgagor, or anyone claiming under the Mortgagor, neglects to keep the Property in good condition and repair, or commit any act of waste on the Property, or do anything by which the value of the Property is thereby diminished, all of which the Mortgagee will be the sole judge, the Mortgagee may (but is not obliged to) enter the Property and effect such repairs or work as it considers necessary.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

19. The Mortgagor will not use, store, release, deposit, recycle, or permit the presence of hazardous substances on the Property, generally accepted items for residential use excepted, which includes but not limited to asbestos, PCBs, radioactive materials, gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable petroleum products (the "Hazardous Substances"). The Mortgagor is also prohibited from performing any acts on the Property involving any Hazardous Substances that would materially affect the value of the Property or would require clean-up or remedial action under federal, provincial, or local laws and codes.

    6. the Guarantor will be bound by each such renewal, variation and amendment of any terms of the Mortgage that the Mortgagee makes with the Mortgagor, and each reference to the Mortgage in this Guarantee section will mean the Mortgage as so renewed and amended from time to time, regardless of whether such changes were made with or without the knowledge, consent or approval of the Guarantor;

POWER OF SALE

30. If at any time the Mortgagor should be in default under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee will have the right to foreclose and force the sale of the Property without any judicial proceeding.
