closure proceedings; all expenses with respect to the fore-
closure; the net expenses, exclusive of general overhead,
incurred by such holder in and as a direct result of the
subsequent management of Said Premises; the cost of any

amounts had all such amounts become part of the mortgage debt
and such debt had continued in existence until such acquisition
