If the Mortgagor shall default in the performance or observance of any of the covenants in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may, in its discretion, do any act or make any expenditures the Mortgagee deems necessary or appropriate to remedy such default or protect the Mortgagee's rights, including, without limitation of the foregoing, the obtaining of insurance, the payment and discharge of taxes and liens, entry upon 9 the Vessel to make repairs (and for that purpose docking and maintaining the Vessel) and defending suits. The Mortgagor shall reimburse the Mortgagee on demand for any and all reasonable expenditures so made or incurred. Until the Mortgagor has so reimbursed the Mortgagee for such expenditures, advances and expenses, the amount thereof shall be a debt due from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee, and payment thereof shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 4.5 Sales, etc. of Certain Assets. Unless and until one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagor: (a) shall be permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Vessel; and (b) shall have the right, from time to time, in its discretion and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release therefrom by the Mortgagee, to dispose of free from the lien hereof any engines, boilers, machinery, covers, masts, bowsprits, boats, spars, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, fittings, tools, pumps and pumping equipment, gear, apparel, furniture, equipment, spare parts, supplies, accessions, accessories, or any other appurtenances of the Vessel that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of the Vessel, by first or simultaneously replacing the same with new engines, boilers, machinery, covers, masts, bowsprits, boats, spars, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, fittings, tools, pumps and pumping equipment, gear, apparel, furniture, equipment, spare parts, supplies, accessions, accessories, or other appurtenances of not less than equal value at the time of replacement, which shall forthwith become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as a preferred mortgage thereon under Chapter 313 unless otherwise permitted by the Second Priority Indenture.

If any provisions hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable according to law, the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Successors and Assigns. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to permit any sale or transfer of the Vessel otherwise prohibited hereunder. 10 5.5 No Waiver. No provision of this Mortgage or any other document and none of the actions or omissions to act by the Mortgagee contemplated thereby shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of the preferred status of this Mortgage or of any of the benefits, privileges or provisions given by Chapter 313. 5.6 Governing Law.
