extensions and modifications of the Note; and (ii) the performance of Borrower's covenants and
agreements under this Security Instrument and the Note. For this purpose, Borrower does hereby

foregoing is referred to in this Security Instrument as the "Property."
BORROWER COVENANTS that Borrower is lawfully seised of the estate hereby
conveyed and has the right to mortgage, grant and convey the Property and that the Property is
unencumbered, except for encumbrances of record. Borrower warrants and will defend generally
the title to the Property against all clainis and demands, subject to any encumbrances of record.
THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT combines uniform covenants for national use and
non-uniform covenants with limited variations by jurisdiction to constitute a uniform security
instrument covering real property.
UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows:
1. Payment of Principal, Interest, Escrow Items, Prepayment Charges, and Late
Charges. Borrower shall pay when due the principal o{, and interest on, the debt evidenced by
the Note and any prepayment charges and late charges due under the Note. Borrower shall also
pay funds for Escrow Items pursuant to Section 3. Payments due under the Note and this
Security Instrument shall be wade ill IJ.S. currency. However, ►f any check or other instrument

received by Lender as payment under the Note or this Security Instrument is returned to Lender
unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under the Note and this
Security Instrument be made in one or more of the f-ollowing forms, as selected by Lender: (a)
cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check,
provided any such check is drawn ullon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal
agency, instrumentality, or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds Transfer.
Payments are deemed received by Lender when received at the location designated in the
Note or at such other location as may be designated by Lender in accordance with the notice
provisions in Section 15. Lender may return any payment or partial payment if the payment or
partial payments are insufficient to bring the Loan current. Lender may accept any payment or
partial payment insufficient to bring the Loan current, without waiver of any rights hereunder or
prejudice to its rights to refuse such payment or partial payments in the future, but Lender is not
obligated to apply such payments at the time such payments are accepted. If each `Periodic
Payment is applied as of its scheduled due date, then Lender need not pay interest on unapplied
funds. Lender may hold such unapplied funds until Borrower makes payment to bring the Loan
current. If Borrower does not do so within a reasonable period of time, Lender shall either apply
such funds or return them to Borrower. If not applied earlier, such funds will be applied to the
outstanding principal balance under the Note immediately prior to foreclosure. No offset or
claim which Borrower might have now or in the future against Lender shall relieve Borrower
from making payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument or performing the
covenants and agreements secured by this Security Instrument.
2. Application of Payments or Proceeds. Except as otherwise described in this
Section 2, all payments accepted and applied by Lender shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (a) interest due under the Note, (b) principal due under the Note; (c) amounts due under
Section 3. Such payments shall be applied to each Periodic Payment in the order in which it
became due. Any remaining amounts shall be applied first to late charges, second to any other
amounts due under this Security Instrument, and then to reduce the principal balance of the Note.
If Lender receives a payment from Borrower for a delinquent Periodic Payment which
includes a Sufficient amount to pay any late charge due, the payment may be applied to the
delinquent payment: and the late charge. If more than one Periodic Payment is outstanding,
Lender may apply any payment received from Borrower to the repayment of the Periodic
Payments if, and to the extent that. each payment can be paid in full. To the extent that any
excess exists after the payment is applied to the full payment of one or more Periodic Payments,
such excess may be applied to any late charges due. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied first
to any prepayment charges and then as described in the Note.
Any application of payments, insurance proceeds, or Miscellaneous Proceeds to principal
due under the Note shall riot extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of the
Periodic Payments.
3. Funds for Items. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day Periodic Payments are
due under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a slim (the "Funds'") as provided in the Note.

impositions attributable to the Property which can attain priority over this Security Instrument,
leasehold payments or ground rents on the Property, if any, and Community Association Dues,
Fees, and Assessments, if any. To the extent that these items are Escrow Items, Borrower shall
pay them in the manner provided in Section 3.
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, but only so long as Borrower is performing such
agreement; (b) contests the lien in good faith by, or defends against enforcement of the lien in,
legal proceedings which in Lender's opinion operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien while
those proceedings are pending, but only until such proceedings are concluded; 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 can
attain priority over this Security Instrument, Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the
lien. Within 10 days of the date on which that notice is given, Borrower shall satisfy the lien or
take one or more of the actions set forth above in this Section 4.
Lender may require Borrower to pay a one-time charge for a real estate tax verification
and/or reporting service used by Lender in connection with this Loan.
5. Property Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or
hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term
"extended coverage," and any other hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods,
for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts
(including deductible levels) and for the periods that Lender requires. What Lender requires
pursuant to the preceding sentences can change during the term of the Loan. The insurance
carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to Lender's right to
disapprove Borrower's choice, which right shall not be exercised unreasonably. Lender may
require Borrower to pay, in connection with this Loan, either: (a) a one-time charge for flood

also be responsible for the payment of any fees imposed by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency in connection with the review of any flood zone determination resulting from an
objection by Borrower.
If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain
insurance coverage, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to
purchase any particular type or amount of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover
Lender, but might or might not protect Borrower, Borrower's equity in the Property, or the
contents of the Property, against any risk, hazard or liability and might provide greater or lesser
coverage than was previously in of elct. Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance
coverage so obtained might significantly exceed the cost of insurance that Borrower could have
obtained. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 5 shall become additional debt of
Borrower secured by this Security illstrunlent. These amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate
from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with such interest, upon notice from Lender

Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying
insurance was required by Lender, shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if the
restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened. During such
repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to hold such insurance proceeds until
Lender has had an opportunity to inspect such Property to ensure the work has been completed to
Lender's satisfaction, provided that such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may
disburse proceeds i-or the repairs and restoration in a single payment or in a series of progress
payments as the work is completed. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law
requires interest to be paid on such insurance proceeds, Lender shall not be required to pay
Borrower any interest or earnings on such proceeds. Fees for public adjusters, or other third
parties, retained by Borrower shall not be paid out of the insurance proceeds and shall be the sole
obligation of Borrower. 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 the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such
insurance proceeds shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2.
If Borrower abandons the Property, Lender may file, negotiate and settle any available
insurance claim and related matters. If Borrower does not respond within 30 days to a notice

and settle the claim. The 30-day period will begin when the notice is given. In either event, or if
Lender acquires the Property under Section 22 or otherwise, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender
(a) Borrower's rights to any insurance proceeds in an amount not to exceed the amounts unpaid
under the Note or this Security Instrument, and (b) any other of Borrower's rights (other than the
right to any refund of unearned premiums paid by Borrower) under all insurance policies
covering the Property, insofar as such rights are applicable to the coverage of the Property.

unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, whether or not then due.

commit waste on the Property. Whether or not Borrower is residing in the Property, Borrower
shall maintain the Property in order to prevent the Property from deteriorating or decreasing in

is not economically feasible, Borrower shall promptly repair the Property if damaged to avoid
further deterioration or damage. If insurance or condemnation proceeds are paid in connection
with damage to, or the taking of; the Property, Borrower shall be responsible for repairing or

interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument (such as a proceeding in
bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture, for enforcement of a lien which may attain
priority over this Security Instrument or to enforce laws or regulations), or (c) Borrower has
abandoned the Property, then Lender may do and pay for whatever is reasonable or appropriate to
protect Lender's interest in the Property and rights under this Security Instrument, including

00&179
undertaken promptly. Lender may pay for the repairs and restoration in a single disbursement or
in a series of progress payments as the wort: is completed. Unless an agreement is made in
writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such Miscellaneous Proceeds, Lender
shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such Miscellaneous Proceeds.
If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened,
the Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to tl}e sums secured by this Security Instrument,
whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such Miscellaneous Proceeds
shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2.
In the event of a total taking, destruction, or loss in value of the Property, the
Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to the SUMS secured by this Security Instrument, whether
or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower.

otherwise agree in writing, the sums secured by this Security Instrument shall be reduced by the
amount of the Miscellaneous Proceeds multiplied by the following fraction: (a) the total amount
of the sums secured immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss in value divided by
(b) the fair market value of the Property immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss
in value. Any balance shall be paid to Borrower.

value is less than the amount of the sums secured immediately before the partial taking,
destruction, or loss in value, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, the
Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument whether
or not the sums are then due.
If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if, after notice by Lender to Borrower that
the Opposing Party (as defined in the next sentence) offers to make an award to settle a claim for
damages, Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days after the date the notice is given,
Lender is authorized to collect and apply the Miscellaneous Proceeds either to restoration or
repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due.
"Opposing Party" means the third party that owes Borrower Miscellaneous Proceeds or the party
against whom Borrower has a. right of action in regard to Miscellaneous Proceeds.
Borrower shall be in default if any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, is
begun that, in Lender's judgment, could result in forfeiture of the Property or other material
impairment of Lender's interest in the Property or rights under this Security Instrument.
Borrower can cure such a default and, if acceleration has occurred, reinstate as provided in
Section 19, by causing the action of- proceeding to be dismissed with a ruling that, in Lender's
judgment, precludes forfeiture of the Property or other material impairment of Lender's interest
in the Property or rights under this Security Instrument. The proceeds of any award or claim for
damages that are attributable to the In1palrment of Lender's Interest in the Property are hereby
assigned and shall be paid to Lender.
All Miscellaneous Proceeds that are not applied to restoration or repair of the Property
shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2.

9. 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 Borrower or any Successor in Interest of Borrower shall not
operate to release the liability of Borrower or any Successors in Interest of Borrower. Lender
shall not be required to commence proccedings against any Successor in Interest of Borrower or
to refuse to extend 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 any
Successors in Interest of Borrower. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy
including, without limitation, Lender's acceptance of payments from third persons, entities or
Successors in Interest of Borrower or in amounts less than tine amount then due, shall not be a
waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
10. Joint and Several Liability; Co-signers; Successors and Assigns Bound.
Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower's obligations and liability shall be joint and
several. However, any Borrower who co-signs this Security Instrument but does not execute the
Note (a "co-signer'"): (a) is co-signing this Security Instrument only to mortgage, grant and
convey the co-signer'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 can agree to extend, modify, forbear or make any
accommodations with regard to the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note without the co-
signer's consent.
Subject to the provisions of Section 18, any Successor in Interest of Borrower who
assumes Borrower's obligations under this Security Instrument in writing, and is approved by
Lender, shall obtain all of Borrower's rights and benefits under this Security Instrument.
Borrower shall not be released ti•om Borrower's obligations and liability under this Security
Instrument unless Lender agrees to such release in writing. The covenants and agreements of this
Security Instrument shall bind (except as provided in Section 20) and benefit the successors and
assigns of Lender.
It. Loan Charges. Lender may charge Borrower fees for services performed in
connection with Borrower's default, for the purpose of protecting Lender's interest in the
Property and rights under this Security Instrument, including, but not limited to, attorneys" fees,
property inspection and valuation fees. In regard to any other tees, the absence of express
authority in this Security Instrument to charge a specific fee to Borrower shall not be construed as
a prohibition on the charging of such fee. Lender may not charge fees that are expressly
prohibited by this Security Instrument or by Applicable Law.
If the Loan 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 which 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 (whether or not a prepayment charge is provided for
under tine Note). Borrower's acceptance of any such refund made by direct payment to Borrower
Vernon/Deed of Trust/September I, 2009 Page 8 of 14
000181
will constitute a waiver of any nolit of action Borrower might have arising out of such
overcharge.
12. Notices. All notices given by Borrower or Lender in connection with this
Security Instrument must be in writing. Any notice to Borrower in connection with this Security
instrument shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower when mailed by first class mail or
when actually delivered to Borrower's notice address if sent by other means. Notice to any one
Borrower shall constitute notice to all Borrowers unless Applicable Law expressly requires
otherwise. The notice address shall be the Property Address unless Borrower has designated a
substitute notice address by notice to Lender. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of
Borrower's change of address. If Lender specifies a procedure for reporting Borrower's change
of address, then Borrower shall only report a change of address through that specified procedure.
There may be only one designated notice address under this Security Instrument at any one time.
Any notice to Lender shall be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to
Lender's address stated herein unless Lender has designated another address by notice to
Borrower. Any notice in connection with this Security Instrument shall not be deemed to have
been given to Lender until actually received by Lender. If any notice required by this Security
Instrument is also required under Applicable Law, the Applicable Law requirement will satisfy
the corresponding requirement under this Security Instrument.
13. Governing Law; Severability; Rules of Construction. This Security Instrument
shall be governed by federal law and the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
All rights and obligations contained in this Security Instrument are subject to any requirements
and limitations of Applicable Law. Applicable Law might explicitly or implicitly allow the
parties to agree by contract or it might be silent, but such silence shall not be construed as a
prohibition against agreement by contract. In the event that any provision or clause of this
Security Instrument or the Note conflicts with Applicable Law, such conflict shall not affect
other provisions of this Security Instrument or the Note which can be given effect without the
conflicting provision.
As used in this Security Instrument: (a) words of the masculine gender shall mean and
include corresponding neuter words or words of the feminine gender; (b) words in the singular

Section 14, "Interest in the Property- means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property,
including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for
deed, installment sales contract or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by
Borrower at a future date to a purchaser.
If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if
Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred)
without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all
sums secured by this Security Instrument. Llowever, this option shall not be exercised by Lender
if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law.
Page 9 of 14
Vernon/Deed of "crust/September f, 2009
0IOU` 182
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The
notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in
accordance with Section 15 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.
15. Borrower's Right to Reinstate After Acceleration. If Borrower meets certain
conditions, Borrower shall have the right to have enforcement of this Security Instrument
discontinued at any time prior to the earliest of: (a) five days before sale of the Property pursuant
to any power of sale contained in this Security Instrument; (b) such other period as Applicable
Law might specify for the termination of Borrower's right to reinstate; or (c) entry of a judgment
enforcing this Security Instrument. Those conditions are that Borrower: (a) pays Lender all sums
which then would be due under this Security Instrument and the Note as if no acceleration had
occurred; (b) cures any default of any other covenants or agreements; (c) pays all expenses
incurred in enforcing this SeCLII"lt_v Instrument, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees, property inspection and valuation fees, and other fees incurred for the purpose of protecting
Lender's interest in the Property and rights under this Security Instrument; and (d) takes such
action as Lender may reasonably require to assure that Lender's interest in the Property and rights
under this Security Instrument, and Borrower's obligation to pay the sums secured by this
Security Instrument, shall continue unchanged. Lender may require that Borrower pay such
reinstatement sums and expenses in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender:
(a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check,
provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal
agency, instrumentality or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds !transfer. Upon reinstatement by
Borrower, this Security Instrument and obligations secured hereby shall remain fully effective as
if no acceleration had occurred. However, this right to reinstate shall not apply in the case of
acceleration under Section 14.
16. Sale of Note; Change of Loan Servicer; Notice of Grievance. The Note or a
partial interest in the Note (together with this Security Instrument) can be sold one or more times
without prior notice to Borrower. A sale might result in a change in the entity (known as the
"Loan Servicer") that collects Periodic Payments due under the Note and this Security
Instrument and performs other mortgage loan servicing obligations under the Note, this Security
Instrument, and Applicable Law. There also might be one or more changes of the Loan Servicer
unrelated to a sale of the Note. If there is a change of the Loan Servicer, Borrower will be given
written notice of the change which will state the name and address of the new Loan Servicer, the
address to which payments should be made and any other information ROSPA requires in
connection with a notice of transfer of servicing. If the Note is sold and thereafter the Loan is
serviced by a Loan Servicer other than the purchaser of the Note, the mortgage loan servicing
obligations to Borrower will remain with the Loan Servicer or be transferred to a successor Loan
Servicer and are not assumed by the Note purchaser unless otherwise provided by the Note
purchaser.
Neither Borrower nor Lender may commence, join, or be joined to any judicial action (as
either an individual litigant or the member of a class) that arises from the other party's actions

006183
pursuant to this Security Instrument or that alleges that the other party has breached any
provision of or any duty owed by reason of this Security instrument, until such Borrower or
Lender has notified the other party (with such notice given in compliance with the requirements
of Section 15) of such alleged breach and afforded the other party hereto a reasonable period after
the giving of such notice to take corrective action. If Applicable Law provides a time period
which must elapse before certain action can be taken, that time period will be deemed to be
reasonable for purposes of this paragraph. The notice of acceleration and opportunity to cure
given to Borrower pursuant to Section 18 and the notice of acceleration given to Borrower
pursuant to Section 18 shall be deemed to satisfy the notice and opportunity to take corrective
action provisions of this Section 16.

Substances" are those substances defined as toxic or hazardous substances, pollutants, or wastes
by Environmental Law and the following substances: gasoline, kerosene, other flammable or

asbestos or formaldehyde, and radioactive materials; (b) "Environmental Law" means federal
laws and laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located that relate to health, safety or
environmental protection; (c) "Environmental Cleanup" includes any response action, remedial
action, or removal action, as defined in Environmental Law; and (d) an "Environmental

Hazardous Substances, or threaten to release any Hazardous Substances, on or in the Property.
Borrower shall not do, nor allow anyone else to do, anything affecting the Property (a) that is in
violation of any Environmental Law, (b) which creates an Environmental Condition, or (c)
which, due to the presence, use, or release of a Hazardous Substance, creates a condition that
adversely affects the value of the Property. The preceding two sentences shall not apply to the
presence, use, or storage on the Property of small quantities of Hazardous Substances that are
generally recognized to be appropriate to normal residential uses and to maintenance of the
Property (including, but not limited to, hazardous substances in consumer products).
Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of (a) any investigation, claim,
demand, lawsuit or other action by any governmental or regulatory agency or private party
involving the Property and any Hazardous Substance or Environmental Law of which Borrower
has actual knowledge, (b) any Environmental Condition, including but not limited to, any
spilling, leaking, discharge, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substance, and (c) any
condition caused by the presence, use or release of a Hazardous Substance which adversely
affects the value of the Property. If Borrower learns, or is notified by any governmental or
regulatory authority, or any private party, that any removal or other remediation of any
Hazardous Substance affecting the Property is necessary, Borrower shall promptly take all
necessary remedial actions in accordance with Environmental Law. Nothing herein shall create
any obligation on Lender for an Environmental Cleanup.

follows:
18. Acceleration; Remedies. Lender shall give notice to Borrower prior to

Instrument (but not prior to acceleration under Section 14 unless Applicable Law provides
otherwise). The notice shall specify: (a) the default; (b) the action required to cure the
default; (c) a date, not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given to Borrower, by
which the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to cure the default on or before the
date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Security
Instrument and sale of the Property. 'file notice shall further inform Borrower of the right
to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the non-
existence of a default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale. If the
default is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, Lender at its option may
require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument without
further demand and 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 13, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs of title evidence.

Borrower and to the person in possession of the Property, if different, in accordance with

in Section 12. Lender shall publish 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

entitled to it.

shall release this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay any recordation costs. Lender may
charge Borrower a fee for releasing this Security Instrument, but only if the fee is paid to a third

homestead exemption laws of Wyoming.;.
