and to keep the improvement thereon, insured against fire and other hazards in an amount not less what is

considered as a part of the indebtedness and shall draw interest at the same rate.

be paid under this paragraph. If Borrower makes these payments directly, Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender
receipts evidencing the payments.
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

a lien which may attain priority over this Security Instrument, Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the lien.

including flood or flooding, for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts and

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 30 days a notice from Lender that the insurance

judgment could result in forfeiture of the Property or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Security
Instrument or Lender's security interest. Borrower may cure such a default and reinstate by causing the action or
proceedings to be dismissed with a ruling that, in Lender's good faith determination, precludes forfeiture of the
Borrower's interest in the Property or other material impairment of the lien created by this Security Instrument or
Lender's security interest. Borrower shall also be in default if Borrower, during the loan application process, gave
materially false or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with any material
information) in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representations concerning
Borrower's occupancy or the Property as a principal residence.

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 Which has priority over this Security
Instrument, appearing in court, paying reasonable attorney's fees and entering on the Property to make repairs. Any
amounts disbursed by Lender under this paragraph 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, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting
payment.
7. Inspection. Lender or its agent may make reasonable entries upon 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.

Instrument, whether or not then due, with any excess paid to Borrower. In the event of a partial taking of the Property in
which the fair market value of the Property immediately before the taking is equal to or greater than '1:he amount of 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 inzmediately before the taking, divided by (b) the fair market value of
the Property immediately before the taking. Any balance shall be paid to Borrower. In the event of a partial taking of the
Property in which the fair market value of the Property immediately before the taking is less than the amount of the sums
secured immediately before the taking, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing or unless applicable law
otherwise provides, the proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument whether or not the sums
are then due.

payments.
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 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 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.

'of this Security Instrument shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the

signs this Security Instrument but does not execute the Note: (a) is co-signing 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

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 under the Note.
12. Governing Law; Severability. This Security Instrument shall be governed by federal law and the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located. 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. To this end the provisions of this Security Instrument and
the Note are declared to be severable.

Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument. 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. The 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 fiirther 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, including, but not limited to, reasonable
