security instrument, appearing in court, paying reasonable attorney's fees, and entering
on the Property to make repairs. Although Mortgagee may take action under this
paragraph, Mortgagee does not have to do so.

debt of Mortgagors secured by this security instrument. Unless Mortgagors and
Mortgagee agree to other terms of payment, these amounts shall bear interest from the
date of disbursement at the Note rate and shall be payable, with interest, on notice from
Mortgagee to Mortgagors requesting payment.

Mortgagors . In the event of a partial taking of the Property, unless Mortgagors and
Mortgagee otherwise agree in writing, the sums secured by this security instrument
shall be reduced by the amount of the proceeds multiplied by the following fraction: (a)
the total amount of the sums secured immediately before the taking, divided by (b) the
fair market value of the Property immediately before the taking. Any balance shall be
8
paid to Mortgagors .

Mortgagors that the condemner offers to make an award or settle a claim for damages,
Mortgagors fails to respond to Mortgagee within Thirty (30) days after the date the
notice is given, Mortgagee is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds, at its option,
either to the restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this security
instrument, whether or not then due.

proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly
payments referred to in Sections One and Two or change the amount of such
payments.
X. MORTGAGORS NOT RELEASED; FORBEARANCE BY MORTGAGEE NOT A
WAIVER
Extension of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured
by this security instrument granted by Mortgagee to any successor in interest of
Mortgagors shall not operate to release the liability of the original Mortgagors or
Mortgagors ' successors in interest. Mortgagee shall not be required to commence
proceedings against any successor in interest or refuse to extend the time for payment
or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this security instrument by
reason of any demand made by the original Mortgagors or Mortgagors ' successors in
interest. Any forbearance by Mortgagee in exercising any right or remedy shall not be a
waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.

make any accommodations with regard to the terms of this security instrument or the

XII. LOAN CHARGES
If the indebtedness secured by this security instrument is subject to a law which sets
maximum loan charges, and that law is finally interpreted so that the interest or other
loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with the indebtedness exceed
the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount
necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already
collected from Mortgagors that exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to
Mortgagors . Mortgagee may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal owed
under the Note or by making a direct payment to Mortgagors. If a refund reduces
principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment without any prepayment
charge under the Note.
XIII. LEGISLATION AFFECTING MORTGAGEE'S RIGHTS
If the enactment or expiration of applicable laws has the effect of rendering any
provision of the Note or this security instrument unenforceable according to its terms,
Mortgagee , at its option, may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by
this security instrument and may invoke any remedies permitted by Section Nineteen. If
Mortgagee exercises this option, Mortgagee shall take the steps specified in the second

default of any other covenants or agreements; (c) pays all expenses incurred in

obligation to pay the sums secured by this security instrument shall continue

obligations secured by it shall remain fully effective as if no acceleration had occurred.

default; (c) a date, not less than Thirty (30) days from the date the notice is given to
Mortgagors , by which the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to cure the default

Property . The notice shall further inform Mortgagors of the right to reinstate after
acceleration and the right to assert in the foreclosure proceeding the nonexistence of a
default or any other defense of Mortgagors to acceleration and foreclosure. If the default
is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, Mortgagee at its option may
require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this security instrument without
further demand and may foreclose this security instrument by judicial proceeding.
Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies
provided in this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and
the costs of title evidence.

applied first to the payment of the costs of management of the Property and collection of
rents, including, but not limited to, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, and
reasonable attorney's fees, and then to the sums secured by this security instrument.
