3. Rights Given to Lender. I mortgage the Property to the Lender. This means that I give the Lender those rights
stated in this Mortgage and also those rights the law gives to lenders who hold mortgages on real property. When I
pay all amounts due to the Lender under the Note and this Mortgage, the Lender’s rights under this Mortgage will
end. The Lender will then cancel this Mortgage at my expense.
4. Promises. I make the following promises to the Lender:
a. Note and Mortgage. I will comply with all of the terms of the Note and this Mortgage.
b. Payments. I will make all payments required by the Note and this Mortgage.
c. Ownership. I warrant title to the premises (N.J.S.A. 46:9-2). This means I own the Property and will
defend my ownership against all claims.
d. Liens and Taxes. I will pay all liens, taxes, assessments and other government charges made against the
Property when due. I will not claim any deduction from the taxable value of the Property because of this
Mortgage. I will not claim any credit against the Principal and interest payable under the Note and this
Mortgage for any taxes paid on the Property.
e. Insurance. I must maintain extended coverage fire or property insurance on the Property. The Lender
may also require that I maintain flood insurance or other types of insurance. The insurance companies,
policies, amounts, and types of coverage must be acceptable to the Lender. I will notify the Lender in the
event of any substantial loss or damage. The Lender may then settle the claim on my behalf if I fail to do
so. All payments from the insurance company must be payable to the Lender under a “standard mortgage
clause” in the insurance policy. The Lender may use any proceeds to repair and restore the Property or to
reduce the amount due under the Note and this Mortgage. This will not delay the due date for any payment
under the Note and this Mortgage.
f. Repairs. I will keep the Property in good repair, neither damaging nor abandoning it. I will allow the
Lender to inspect the Property upon reasonable notice to me.
g. Statement of Amount Due. Upon request of the Lender, I will certify to the Lender in writing:
the amount due on the Note and this Mortgage, and
whether or not I have any defense to my obligations under the Note and this Mortgage.
h. Rent. I will not accept rent from any tenant for more than one month in advance.
i. Lawful Use. I will use the Property in compliance with all laws, ordinances and other requirements of
any governmental authority.
5. Eminent Domain. All or part of the Property may be taken by a government entity for public use. If this occurs, I
agree that any compensation be given to the Lender. The Lender may use this to repair and restore the Property or to
reduce the amount owed on the Note and this Mortgage. This will not delay the due date for any further payment
under the Note and this Mortgage. Any remaining balance will be paid to me.
6. Tax and Insurance Escrow. If the Lender requests, I will make regular monthly payments to the Lender of: (a)
1/12 of the yearly real estate taxes and assessments on the Property; and (b) 1/12 of the yearly cost of insurance on
the Property. These payments will be held by the Lender without interest to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance
premiums as they become due.
7. Payments Made for Borrower(s). If I do not make all of the repairs or payments as agreed in this Mortgage, the
Lender may do so for me. The cost of these repairs and payments will be added to the Principal, will bear interest at
the same rate provided in the Note and will be repaid to the Lender upon demand.
8. Default. The Lender may declare that I am in default on the Note and this Mortgage if:
a. I fail to make any payment required by the Note and this Mortgage within ___________ days after its
due date;
b. I fail to keep any other promise I make in this Mortgage;
c. the ownership of the Property is changed for any reason;
d. the holder of any lien on the Property starts foreclosure proceedings; or
e. bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings are started by or against any of the Borrowers.
