For such a purpose, the trustees of the subsequent mortgage, on application of one or more persons
interested in the mortgage, made 6 months prior to the absolute foreclosure of the prior mortgage and
on payment of reasonable expenses to be incurred thereby, shall call a meeting of all interested and
publish a notice of the meeting, stating the time, place and purpose, 3 weeks successively in the state

paper and such other papers as they think proper. If at that meeting, or one called by the trustees without
application, the holders of a majority of the interests there represented vote to redeem the prior
mortgage, each one may contribute his proportion to the redemption. The trustees shall give immediate
notice of the vote by publishing it as above and shall in the notice state the time and place of payment
and the amount to be paid on each $100 as nearly as may be. If anyone fails to pay his proportion, any
other person interested in the subsequent mortgage may pay it and succeed to all his rights except as
otherwise provided. [PL 1987, c. 141, Pt. A, §4 (NEW).]
