Mortgage.
1. Payment of Principal and Interest; Prepayment and Late Charges
Borrower shall promptly pay when due the Principal of and Interest on the debt
evidenced by the Note and any prepayment and late charges due under the Note.
2. Funds for Taxes and Insurance
A. Subject to applicable law or to a written waiver by Lender, if Lender so
requests, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day monthly payments are due
under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (the Funds ) equal to one-
twelfth of: (a) yearly taxes and assessments that may attain priority over this
Security Instrument; (b) yearly leasehold payments or ground rents on the
Property, if any; (c) yearly hazard insurance premiums; and (d) yearly Mortgage
insurance premiums, if any. These items are called escrow items . Lender may
estimate the funds due on the basis of current data and reasonable estimates of
future escrow items.
B. The funds shall be held in an institution the deposits or accounts of which
are insured or guaranteed by a federal or state agency (including Lender if
Lender is such an institution). Lender shall apply the funds to pay the
escrow items. Lender may not charge for holding and applying the funds,
analyzing the account, or verifying the escrow items, unless Lender pays
Borrower Interest on the funds and applicable law permits Lender to make such a
charge. Borrower and Lender may agree in writing that Interest shall be paid on the
funds. Unless an agreement is made or applicable law requires Interest to be
paid, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any Interest or earnings on the
funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of the
funds showing credits and debits to the funds and the purpose for which each debit to
the funds was made. The funds are pledged as additional Security for the sums
secured by this Security Instrument.
C. If the amount of the funds held by Lender, together with the future
_______ (monthly) payments of funds payable prior to the due dates of the
escrow items, shall exceed the amount required to pay the escrow items when
due, the excess shall be, at Borrower's option, either promptly repaid to Borrower
or credited to Borrower on _______ (monthly) payments of funds. If the amount
of the funds held by Lender is not sufficient to pay the escrow items when due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency in
one or more payments as required by Lender.
D. On payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender
shall promptly refund to Borrower any funds held by Lender. If under Section 19
the Property is sold or acquired by Lender, Lender shall apply, no later than
immediately prior to the sale of the Property or its acquisition by Lender, any
funds held by Lender at the time of application as a credit against the sums
secured by this Security Instrument.
3. Application of Payments
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, all payments received by Lender
under Sections 1 and 2 shall be applied: first, to late charges due under the Note;
second, to prepayment charges due under the Note; third, to amounts payable under
Section 2; fourth, to Interest due; and last, to principal due.
4. Charges; Liens
A. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines, and impositions
attributable to the Property that may attain priority over this Security Instrument,
and leasehold payments or ground rents, if any. Borrower shall pay these
obligations in the manner provided in Section 2 , or if not paid in that manner,
Borrower shall pay them on time directly to the person owed payment. Borrower
shall promptly furnish to Lender all notices of amounts to be paid under this
paragraph. If Borrower makes these payments directly, Borrower shall promptly
furnish to Lender receipts evidencing the payments.
B. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien that 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 that 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.
5. Hazard Insurance
A. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or to be erected on
the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term
extended coverage, and any other hazards for which Lender requires
insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts and for the periods
that Lender requires. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be
chosen by Borrower subject to Lender's approval which shall not be withheld
unreasonably.
B. All insurance policies and renewals shall be acceptable to Lender and
shall include a standard Mortgage clause. Lender shall have the right to hold the
policies and renewals. If Lender requires, Borrower shall promptly give to Lender
all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices. In the event of loss, Borrower
shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender may make
proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
C. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, insurance
proceeds shall be applied to the restoration or repair of the Property damaged, 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 to the sums
secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with any excess
paid to Borrower. If Borrower abandons the Property, or does not answer within
(e.g., 30) ______ days a notice from Lender that the insurance carrier has
offered to settle a claim, then Lender may collect the insurance proceeds. Lender
may use the proceeds to repair or restore the Property or to pay sums secured
by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due. The (e.g., 30) _____ -day
period will begin when the notice is given.
D. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any application of
proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly
payments referred to in Sections 1 and 2 or change the amount of the
payments. If under Section 19 the Property is acquired by Lender, Borrower's
right to any insurance policies and proceeds resulting from damage to the
Property prior to the acquisition shall pass to Lender to the extent of the sums
secured by this Security Instrument immediately prior to the acquisition.
6. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds
Borrower shall not destroy, damage, or substantially change the Property, allow
the Property to deteriorate, or commit waste. If this Security Instrument is on a
leasehold, Borrower shall comply with the provisions of the lease, and if Borrower
acquires fee title to the Property, the leasehold and fee title shall not merge unless
Lender agrees to the merger in writing.
7. Protection of Lender’s Rights in the Property; Mortgage Insurance
A. If Borrower fails to perform the 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,
probate, for condemnation, or to enforce laws or regulations), then Lender may
do and pay for whatever is necessary to protect the value of the Property and
Lender's rights in the Property. Lender's actions may include paying any sums
secured by a lien that has priority over this Security Instrument, appearing in
court, paying reasonable attorney's fees, and entering on the Property to make
repairs. Although Lender may take action under this paragraph, Lender does not
have to do so.
B. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 7 shall become
additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. Unless Borrower
and Lender 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 Lender to Borrower requesting payment.
C. If Lender required Mortgage insurance as a condition of making the loan
secured by this Security Instrument, Borrower shall pay the premiums required to
maintain the insurance in effect until such time as the requirement for the
insurance terminates in accordance with Borrower's and Lender's written
agreement or applicable law.
8. Inspection
Lender or its agent may make reasonable entries on and inspections of the
Property. Lender shall give Borrower notice at the time of or prior to an inspection
specifying reasonable cause for the inspection.
9. Condemnation
A. 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 lieu of condemnation, are assigned and shall be paid to
Lender. In the event of a total taking of the Property, the proceeds shall be
applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due,
with any excess paid to Borrower. In the event of a partial taking of the Property,
unless Borrower and Lender 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 paid to Borrower.
B. If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if, after notice by Lender to
Borrower that the condemnor offers to make an award or settle a claim for
damages, Borrower fails to respond to Lender within (e.g.,30) days after the date
the notice is given, Lender 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.
C. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any application of
proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly
payments referred to in Sections 1 and 2 or change the amount of those
payments.
10. Borrower not Released; Forbearance by Lender not a Waiver
Extension of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums
secured by this Security Instrument granted by Lender to any successor in Interest of
Borrower shall not operate to release the liability of the original Borrower or Borrower's
successors in Interest. Lender 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 Borrower or Borrower's successors in Interest. 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.
11. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Co-Signers
The covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument shall bind and benefit
the successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of
Section 17 . Borrower's covenants and agreements shall be joint and several. Any
Borrower who cosigns this Security Instrument but does not execute the Note: (a) is
cosigning this Security Instrument only to Mortgage, grant, and convey that Borrower's
Interest in the Property under the terms of this Security Instrument; (b) is not personally
obligated to pay the sums secured by this Security Instrument; and (c) agrees that
Lender and any other Borrower may agree to extend, modify, forbear, or make any
accommodations with regard to the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note without
that Borrower's consent.
12. Loan Charges
If the loan 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 loan 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 Borrower that exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to Borrower.
Lender may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal owed under the Note
or by making a direct payment to Borrower. If a refund reduces principal, the reduction
will be treated as a partial prepayment without any prepayment charge under the Note.
13. Legislation Affecting Lender’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,
Lender, 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 19 . If Lender
exercises this option, Lender shall take the steps specified in Section 17(B) .
14. 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 the use of
another method. The notice shall be directed to the Property address or any other
address Borrower designates by notice to Lender. Any notice to Lender shall be given
by first class mail to Lender's address stated in this Security Instrument or any other
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 paragraph.
15. 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.
16. Borrower’s Copy
Borrower shall be given one conformed copy of the Note and of this Security
Instrument.
17. Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower
A. If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in it is sold or transferred
(or if a beneficial Interest in Borrower is sold or transferred and Borrower is not a
natural person) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may, at its option,
require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument.
However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if its exercise is prohibited
by federal law as of the date of this Security Instrument.
B. If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of
acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than (i.e., 30) _____
days from the date the notice is delivered or mailed within which Borrower must
pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these
sums prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies
permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on
Borrower.
18. Borrower’s Right to Reinstate
If Borrower meets certain conditions, Borrower shall have the right to have
enforcement of this Security Instrument discontinued at any time prior to the earlier of:

reinstatement) before sale of the Property pursuant to any power of sale contained in

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

fees; and (d) takes such action as Lender may reasonably require to assure that the lien
of this Security Instrument, Lender's rights in the Property, and Borrower's obligation to
pay the sums secured by this Security Instrument shall continue unchanged. On
reinstatement by Borrower, this Security Instrument and the obligations secured by it
shall remain fully effective as if no acceleration had occurred. However, this right to
reinstate shall not apply in the case of acceleration under Sections 13 or 17 .
19. Acceleration; Remedies
Lender shall give notice to Borrower prior to acceleration following Borrower's
breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument (but not prior to
acceleration under Sections 13 and 17 unless applicable law provides otherwise).
Lender shall notify Borrower of, among other things: (a) the default; (b) the action
required to cure the default; (c) when the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to
cure the default as specified may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this
Security Instrument, foreclosure by judicial proceeding, and sale of the Property. Lender
shall further inform Borrower 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 Borrower to acceleration and foreclosure. If the default is not cured as specified,
Lender 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. Lender shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in
pursuing the remedies provided in this paragraph, including, but not limited to, attorney's
fees and the costs of title evidence to the extent permitted by applicable law.
20. Lender in Possession
On acceleration under Section 19 , or abandonment of the Property, Lender (in
person, by agent, or by judicially appointed receiver) shall be entitled to enter on, take
possession of, and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property
including those past due. Any rents collected by Lender or the receiver shall be applied
first to 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.

discharge this Security Instrument without charge to Borrower. Borrower shall pay any
recordation costs.
