________________________________________________________________________
Together with all the improvements now or to be erected on the real property, and all
easements, rights, appurtenances, rents, royalties, minerals, oil and gas rights and profits,
water rights, and stock and all fixtures now or to become a part of the real property. All
replacements and additions shall also be covered by this Security Instrument . All of the
foregoing is referred to in this Security Instrument as the Property .
Borrower covenants that Borrower is lawfully seized of the estate conveyed by
this Security Instrument and has the right to mortgage, grant, and convey the Property
and that the Property is unencumbered. Borrower warrants and will defend generally the
title to the Property against all claims and demands, subject to any encumbrances of
record.
1. Payment of Principal, Interest and Late Charge
Borrower shall pay when due the principal of, and interest on, the debt evidenced
by the Note .
2. Payment of Property Charges
Borrower shall pay all Property charges consisting of taxes, ground rents, flood
and hazard insurance premiums, and assessments in a timely manner, and shall provide
evidence of payment to Lender , unless Lender pays Property charges by withholding
funds from monthly payments due to Borrower or by charging such payments to a line of
credit as provided for in the Loan Agreement.
3. Fire, Flood, and Other Hazard
A. Borrower shall insure all improvements on the Property , whether now in
existence or subsequently erected, against any hazards, casualties, and contingencies,
including fire. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts, to the extent, and for
the periods required by Lender and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
(the Secretary ). Borrower shall also insure all improvements on the Property , whether
now in existence or subsequently erected, against loss by floods to the extent required by
the Secretary . All insurance shall be carried with companies approved by Lender . The
insurance policies and any renewals shall be held by Lender and shall include loss
payable clauses in favor of, and in a form acceptable to, Lender .
B. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give Lender immediate notice by mail.
Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower . Each insurance
company concerned is authorized and directed to make payment for such loss to
Borrower and to Lender jointly. Insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or
repair of the damaged Property , if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and
Lender 's security is not lessened. If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible
or Lender 's security would be lessened, the insurance proceeds shall be applied first to the
reduction of any indebtedness under a second Note and second Security Instrument held
by the Secretary on the Property and then to the reduction of the indebtedness under the
Note and this Security Instrument . Any excess insurance proceeds over an amount
required to pay all outstanding indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument
shall be paid to the entity legally entitled to same.
C. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other transfer of
title to the Property that extinguishes the indebtedness, all right, title, and interest of
Borrower in and to insurance policies in force shall pass to the purchaser.
4. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds
A. Borrower shall not commit waste or destroy, damage, or substantially
change the Property or allow the Property to deteriorate, reasonable wear and tear
excepted. Lender may inspect the Property if the Property is vacant or abandoned or the
loan is in default. Lender may take reasonable action to protect and preserve vacant or
abandoned Property .
B. If this Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Borrower shall comply with
the provisions of the lease. If Borrower acquires fee title to the Property , the leasehold
and fee title shall not be merged unless Lender agrees to the merger in writing.
5. Charges to Borrower and Protection of Lender’s Rights in Property
A. Borrower shall pay all governmental or municipal charges, fines, and
impositions that are not included in Section Two. Borrower shall pay these obligations
on time directly to the entity which is owed the payment. If failure to pay would
adversely affect Lender 's interest in the Property , on Lender 's request Borrower shall
promptly furnish to Lender receipts evidencing these payments. Borrower shall promptly
discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument in the manner
provided in Section Twelve , Paragraph C .
B. If Borrower fails to make these payments or the Property charges required
by Section Two , or fails to perform any other covenants and agreements contained in this
Security Instrument , or there is a legal proceeding that may significantly affect Lender 's
rights in the Property (such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, for condemnation, or to
enforce laws or regulations), then Lender may do and pay whatever is necessary to
protect the value of the Property and Lender 's rights in the Property , including payment
of taxes, hazard insurance, and other items mentioned in Section Two .
C. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section shall become an
additional debt of Borrower as provided for in the Loan Agreement and shall be secured
by this Security Instrument .
6. Inspection
Lender or its agent may enter on, inspect, or make appraisals of the Property in a
reasonable manner and at reasonable times provided that Lender shall give Borrower
notice prior to any inspection or appraisal specifying a purpose for the inspection or
appraisal which must be related to Lender 's interest in the Property .
7 Condemnation
The proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in
connection with any condemnation or other taking of any part of the Property , or for a
conveyance in place of condemnation shall be paid to Lender and Borrower jointly. The
proceeds shall be applied first to the reduction of any indebtedness under a second Note
and second Security Instrument held by the Secretary to the Property , and then to the
reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument . Any excess
proceeds over an amount required to pay all outstanding indebtedness under the Note and
this Security Instrument shall be paid to the entity legally entitled to them.
8. Fees
Lender may collect fees and charges authorized by the Secretary .
9. Grounds for Acceleration of Debt
A. Due and Payable.
Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this
Security Instrument if: (i) a Borrower dies and the Property is not the principal residence
of at least one surviving Borrower ; or (ii) a Borrower conveys all of his or her title in the
Property and no other Borrower retains title to the Property in fee simple or retains a
leasehold under a lease for less than 99 years which is renewable or a lease having a
remaining period of not less than 50 years beyond the date of the 100th birthday of the
youngest Borrower .
B. Due and Payable with Secretary Approval.
Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this
Security Instrument , on approval of the Secretary , if:
1. The Property ceases to be the principal residence of a Borrower
for reasons other than death and the Property is not the principal residence
of at least one other Borrower ;
2. For a period of longer than 12 consecutive months, a Borrower
fails to occupy the Property because of physical or mental illness and the
Property is not the principal residence of at least one other Borrower ; or
3. An obligation of the Borrower under this Security Instrument is not
performed.
Principal residence shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.
C. Notice to Lender.
Borrower shall notify Lender whenever any of the events listed in
Paragraphs A and B of this Section 9 occur.
D. Notice to Secretary and Borrower.
Lender shall notify the Secretary and Borrower whenever the loan
becomes due and payable under this Section 9 . Lender shall not have the right to
foreclose until Borrower has had 30 days after notice to either:
1. Correct the matter which resulted in the Security Instrument
coming due and payable;
2. Pay the balance in full;
3. Sell the Property for at least 95% of the appraised value and apply
the net proceeds of the sale toward the balance; or
4. Provide the Lender with a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
E. Mortgage Not Insured.
Borrower agrees that should this Security Instrument and the Note secured by it
not be eligible for insurance under the National Housing Act within ( e.g., 30) _____ days
from the date of this Security Instrument , Lender may, at its option, require immediate
payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument . A written statement of
any authorized agent of the Secretary dated subsequent to ( e.g., 30) ______ days from the
date of this Security Instrument , declining to insure this Security Instrument and the Note
secured by it, shall be deemed conclusive proof of ineligibility. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this option may not be exercised by Lender when the unavailability of
insurance is solely due to Lender 's failure to remit a mortgage insurance premium to the
Secretary .
10. No Deficiency Judgments
Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the debt. Lender may
enforce the debt only through the sale of the Property . Lender shall not be permitted to
obtain a deficiency judgment against Borrower if the Property is foreclosed. If this
Security Instrument is assigned to the Secretary , Borrower shall not be liable for any
difference between the mortgage insurance benefits paid to Lender and the outstanding
indebtedness, including accrued interest, owed by Borrower at the time of the
assignment.
11. Reinstatement
Borrower has a right to be reinstated if Lender has required immediate payment in
full. This right applies even after foreclosure proceedings are instituted. To reinstate this
Security Instrument , Borrower shall correct the condition which resulted in the
requirement for immediate payment in full. Foreclosure costs and reasonable and
customary attorney's fees and expenses properly associated with the foreclosure
proceeding shall be added to the principal balance. On reinstatement by Borrower , this
Security Instrument and the obligations that it secures shall remain in effect as if Lender
had not required immediate payment in full. However, Lender is not required to permit
reinstatement if: (i) Lender has accepted reinstatement after the commencement of
foreclosure proceedings within two years immediately preceding the commencement of a
current foreclosure proceeding; (ii) reinstatement will preclude foreclosure on different
grounds in the future; or (iii) reinstatement will adversely affect the priority of the
mortgage lien.
12. First Lien Status
A. Modification.
If state law limits the first lien status of this Security Instrument as originally
executed and recorded, to a maximum amount of debt or a maximum number of years, or
if state law otherwise prevents the Lender from making loan advances secured by the first
lien, Borrower agrees to execute any additional documents required by Lender and
approved by the Secretary to extend the first lien status to an additional amount of debt
and an additional number of years, and to cause any other liens to be removed or
subordinated as provided in the Loan Agreement. If state law does not permit the
extension of the first lien status, then for purposes of Section 9 Borrower will be deemed
to have failed to perform an obligation under this security agreement.
B. Tax Deferral Programs.
Borrower shall not participate in a real estate tax deferral program, if any liens
created by the tax deferral are not subordinate to this Security Instrument .
C. Prior Liens.
Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security
Instrument unless Borrower : (a) agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation
secured by the lien in a manner acceptable to Lender ; (b) contests in good faith the lien
by, or defends against enforcement of the lien in, legal proceedings which in the Lender 's
opinion operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture of any part of the
Property ; or (c) secures from the holder of the lien an agreement satisfactory to Lender
subordinating the lien to this Security Instrument . If Lender determines that any part of
the Property is subject to a lien which may attain priority over this Security Instrument ,
Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the lien. Borrower shall satisfy the lien or
take one or more of the actions set forth above within (e.g., 10) _____ days of the giving
of notice.
13. Relationship to Second Security Instrument
A. Second Security Instrument.
In order to secure payments which the Secretary may make to or on behalf of
Borrower pursuant to Section of the National Housing Act and the loan agreement, the
Secretary has required Borrower to grant a Second Security Instrument on the Property
to the Secretary .
B. Relationship of First and Second Security Instrument s. Payments made by
the Secretary shall not be included in the debt under the Note secured by this Security
Instrument unless:
1. This Security Instrument is assigned to the Secretary ; or
2. The Secretary accepts reimbursement by Lender for all payments made by
the Secretary .
If the circumstances described in Subparagraph 1 or 2 occur, then all payments by the
Secretary , including interest on the payments but excluding late charges paid by the
Secretary , shall be included in the debt.
C. Effect on Borrower.
Where there is no assignment or reimbursement as described in subparagraph
B(1) or (2) and the Secretary makes payments to Borrower , then Borrower shall not:
1. Be required to pay amounts owed under the Note , or pay any rents
and revenues of the Property under Section 19 to Lender or a receiver of
the Property , until the Secretary has required payment in full of all
outstanding principal and accrued interest under the second Note held by
Secretary and secured by the second Security Instrument ; or
2. Be obligated to pay interest or shared appreciation under the Note
at any time, whether accrued before or after the payments by the
Secretary , and whether or not accrued interest has been included in the
principal balance under the Note .
D. No Duty of the Secretary .
The Secretary has no duty to Lender to enforce covenants of the second
Security Instrument or to take actions to preserve the value of the Property , even
though Lender may be unable to collect amounts owed under the Note because of
restrictions in this Section 13 .
14. Forbearance by Lender not a Waiver
Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall not be a
waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
15. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability
The covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument shall bind and benefit
the successors and assigns of Lender . An assignment made in accordance with the
regulations of the Secretary shall fully relieve Lender of its obligations under this
Security Instrument . Borrower may not assign any rights or obligations under this
Security Instrument or under the Note . Borrower 's covenants and agreements shall be
joint and several.
16. Notices
Any notice to Borrower provided for in this Security Instrument shall be given by
delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail unless applicable law requires use of
another method. The notice shall be directed to the Property address or any other address
all Borrower s jointly designate. Any notice to Lender shall be given by first class mail to
Lender 's address stated in this Security Instrument or any address Lender designates by
notice to Borrower . Any notice provided for in this Security Instrument shall be deemed
to have been given to Borrower or Lender when given as provided in this Section.
17. Governing Law; Severability
This Security Instrument shall be governed by federal law and the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located. If any provision or clause of this Security
Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, the conflict shall not affect other
provisions of this Security Instrument or the Note which can be given effect without the
conflicting provision. To this end the provisions of this Security Instrument and the Note
are declared to be severable.
18. Borrower’s Copy
Borrower shall be given one conformed copy of this Security Instrument .
19. Assignment of Rents
A. Borrower unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all the rents and
revenues of the Property . Borrower authorizes Lender or Lender 's agents to collect the
rents and revenues and directs each tenant of the Property to pay the rents to Lender or
Lender 's agents. However, prior to Lender 's notice to Borrower of Borrower 's breach of
any covenant or agreement in the Security Instrument , Borrower shall collect and receive
all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Borrower .
This assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for
additional security, and all rents received by Borrower shall be held by Borrower as
trustee for the benefit of Lender , to be applied to the sums secured by this Security
Instrument . However, notwithstanding the foregoing, unless Lender gives notice of
breach to Borrower : (a) Borrower shall be entitled to collect and receive all of the rents
of the Property ; and (b) each tenant of the Property shall pay all rents due and unpaid to
Borrower or Borrower’s agent on Borrower’s written demand to the tenant.
B. Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of the rents and has not
and will not perform any act that would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under
this Section 19 .
C. Lender shall not be required to enter on, take control of, or maintain the
Property before or after giving notice of breach to Borrower . However, Lender or a
judicially appointed receiver may do so at any time there is a breach. Any application of
rents shall not cure or waive any default or invalidate any other right or remedy of
Lender . This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate when the debt secured
by this Security Instrument is paid in full.
20. Foreclosure Procedure
A. If Lender requires immediate payment in full under Section 9 , Lender may
invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law. Lender
shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this
Section 20 , including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and the costs of title
evidence.
B. If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender shall give notice of sale to
Borrower in the manner provided in Section 16. Lender shall publish and post the notice
of sale, and the Property shall be sold in the manner prescribed by applicable law. Lender
or its designee may purchase the Property at any sale. The proceeds of the sale shall be
applied in the following order: (a) to all expenses of the sale, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorney's fees; (b) to all sums secured by this Security Instrument ; and (c)
any excess to the person or persons legally entitled to it.
21. Riders to Security Instrument
If one or more riders are executed by Borrower and recorded together with this
Security Instrument , the covenants of each such rider shall be incorporated into and shall
amend and supplement the covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument as if the
riders were in a part of this Security Instrument .
Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms contained in this Security Instrument and in any
riders executed by Borrower and recorded with it.
