TO SECURE to Lender the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note,
with interest thereon; the payment of all other sums, with the interest thereon, advanced
in accordance herewith to protect the security of this Mortgage; and the performance of
the covenants and agreements of Mortgagor herein contained, Mortgagor does hereby

SEE SCHEDULE “A” LEGAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
which has the address of __________________________________________________
(herein “Property Address”); SEE SCHEDULE “A” (Legal Property Description)
attached hereto and made a part hereof.
TOGETHER with all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property,
and all easements, rights, appurtenances and rents, all of which shall be deemed to be and
remain a part of the property covered by this Mortgage; and all of the foregoing, together
(Page 2 of 7 pages)
with said property (or the leasehold estate if this Mortgage is on a leasehold) are
hereinafter referred to as the “Property.”
Mortgagor covenants that Mortgagor 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. Mortgagor covenants that
Mortgagor warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against all claims
and demands, subject to encumbrances of record.
UNIFORM COVENANTS. Mortgagor and Lender covenant and agree as
follows:
1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Mortgagor shall promptly pay when
due the principal evidenced by the Note.
2. Application of Payments. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, all
payments received by Lender under the Note and paragraph 1 hereof shall be applied by
Lender to the principal of the Note.
3. Prior Mortgages and Deeds of Trust; Charges; Liens. Mortgagor shall
perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust or other
security agreement with a lien which has priority over this Mortgage, including
Mortgagor’s covenants to make payments when due. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be
paid all taxes, assessments, and other charges, fines, and impositions attributable to the
Property which may attain a priority over this Mortgage, and leasehold payments or
ground rents, if any.
4. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds; Condominiums;
Planned Unit Developments. Mortgagor shall keep the Property in good repair and
shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property and shall
comply with the provisions of any lease if this Mortgage is on a leasehold. If this
Mortgage is on a unit in a condominium or a planned unit development, the by-laws and
regulations of the condominium or planned unit development, and constituent documents.
5. Protection of Lender’s Security. If Mortgagor fails to perform the
covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is
commenced which materially affects Lender’s interest in the Property, then Lender, at
Lender’s option, upon notice to Mortgagor, may make such appearances, disburse such
sums, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and take such action as is necessary to protect
Lender’s interest. If Lender required mortgage insurance as a condition of making the
loan secured by this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall pay the premiums required to maintain
such insurance in effect until such time as the requirement for such insurance terminates
in accordance with Mortgagor’s and Lender’s written agreement or applicable law.
Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph 7, with interest
thereon, at the Note rate, shall become additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by
this Mortgage. Unless Mortgagor and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Mortgagor requesting payment
thereof. Nothing contained in this paragraph 7 shall require Lender to incur any expense
or take any action hereunder.
6. Inspection. Lender may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon
and inspections of the Property, provided that Lender shall give Mortgagor notice prior to
(Page 3 of 7 pages)
any such inspection specifying reasonable cause therefore 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 the Property, or
part thereof, or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned and shall be
paid to Lender, subject to the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
agreement with a lien which has priority over this Mortgage.
8. Mortgagor Not Released; Forbearance By Lender Not a Waiver.
Extension of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by
this Mortgage granted by Lender to any successor in interest of Mortgagor shall not
operate to release, in any manner, the liability of the original Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s
successors in interest. Lender shall not be required to commence proceedings against
such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of
the sums secured by this Mortgage by reason of any demand made by the original
Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors in interest. Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall
not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any such right or remedy.
9. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Co-signors.
The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall
inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Mortgagor, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 13 hereof. All covenants and agreements of Mortgagor shall be
joint and several. Any Mortgagor who acknowledges this Mortgage, but does not
execute the Note, (a) is co-signing this Mortgage only to mortgage, grant and convey that
Mortgagor’s interest in the Property to Lender under the terms of this Mortgage, (b) is co-
signing this Mortgage only to mortgage, grant and convey that Mortgagor’s interest in the
Property to Lender under the terms of this Mortgage, (c) is not personally liable on the
Note or under this Mortgage, and (d) agrees that Lender and any other Mortgagor
hereunder may agree to extend, modify, forbear, or make any other accommodations with
regard to the terms of this Mortgage or the Note without that Mortgagor’s consent and
without releasing that Mortgagor or modifying this Mortgage as to that Mortgagor’s
interest in the Property. The spouse or domestic partner who intends to reside at the
Property as his or her principal residence but is not party to the Note shall acknowledge
that their interest in the Property is subject to this Mortgage.
10. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in
another manner, (a) any notice to Mortgagor provided for in the Mortgage shall be given
by delivering it or by mailing such notice by certified mail addressed to Mortgagor at the
Property Address or at such other address as Mortgagor may designate by notice to
Lender as provided herein, and (b) any notice to Lender shall be given by certified mail
to Lender’s address stated herein or to such other address as Lender may designate by
notice to Mortgagor as provided herein. Any notice provided for in this Mortgage shall
be deemed to have been given to Mortgagor or Lender when given in the manner
designated herein.
11. Governing Law; Severability. The State and local laws applicable to this
Mortgage shall be the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. The
foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of Federal law to this Mortgage. In
the event that any provision or clause of this Mortgage or the Note conflicts with
(Page 4 of 7 pages)
applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of the Mortgage or the Note
which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions
of this Mortgage and the Note are declared to be severable. As used herein, “costs,”
“expenses,” and “attorneys’ fees” include all sums to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law or limited herein.
12. Mortgagor’s Copy. Mortgagor shall be furnished a conformed copy of the
Note and of this Mortgage at the time of execution or after recordation hereof.
13. Transfer of the Property. If all or any part of the Property without
Lender’s prior written consent, Lender may, at its option, require immediate payment in
full of all sums secured by this Mortgage. However, this option shall not be exercised by
Lender if exercise is prohibited by federal law as of the date of this Mortgage.
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Mortgagor notice of
acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the
notice is delivered or mailed within which Mortgagor must pay all sums secured by this
Mortgage. If Mortgagor fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period,
Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Mortgage without further notice or
demand on Mortgagor.
NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Mortgagor and Lender further covenant and
agree as follows:
14. Acceleration; Remedies. Except as provided in paragraph 13 hereof,
upon Mortgagor’s breach of any covenant or agreement of Mortgagor in this
Mortgage, including the covenants to pay when due any sums secured by this
Mortgage, Lender prior to acceleration shall give notice to Mortgagor as provided
in paragraph 10 hereof specifying: (1) the breach; (2) the action required to cure
such breach; (3) a date, not less than 10 days from the date the notice is mailed to
Mortgagor, by which such breach must be cured; and (4) that failure to cure such
breach on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the
sums secured by this Mortgage, foreclosure by judicial proceeding and sale of
Property. The notice shall further inform Mortgagor 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 Mortgagor to acceleration and foreclosure. If the
breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, Lender, at Lender’s
option, may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due
and payable without further demand and may foreclose this Mortgage by judicial
proceeding. Lender shall be entitled to collect in such proceeding all expenses of
foreclosure, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees permitted by Rules of
Court, and costs of abstracts, title reports and documentary evidence.
15. Mortgagor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding Lender’s acceleration
of the sums secured by this Mortgage due to Mortgagor’s breach, Mortgagor shall have
the right to have any proceedings begun by Lender to enforce this Mortgage discontinued
at any time prior to entry of a judgment enforcing this Mortgage if: (a) Mortgagor pays
Lender all sums which would be then due under this Mortgage and the Note had no
acceleration occurred; (b) Mortgagor cures all breaches of any other covenants or
agreements of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage; (c) Mortgagor pays reasonable
expenses incurred by Lender in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage, and in enforcing Lender’s remedies as provided paragraph 17
(Page 5 of 7 pages)
hereof, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (d) Mortgagor takes
such action as Lender may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Mortgage,
Lender’s interest in the Property and Mortgagor’s obligation to pay the sums secured by
this Mortgage shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Mortgagor,
this Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as
if no acceleration had occurred.
16. Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver. As additional security
hereunder, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Lender the rents of the Property, provided that
Mortgagor shall, prior to acceleration under paragraph 17 hereof or abandonment of the
Property, have the right to collect and retain such rents as they become due and payable.
Upon acceleration under paragraph 17 hereof or abandonment of the Property,
Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially appointed receiver, shall be entitled to enter
upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property
including those past due. All 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 attorneys’ fees, and then to the sums secured by this Mortgage. Lender and
the receiver shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.
17. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender shall
cancel this Mortgage without charge to Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall pay all costs of
recordation, if any.
18. No Claim of Credit for Taxes. Mortgagor will not make or claim credit on
or deduction from the principal or interest on the sums secured by this Mortgage by
reason of any municipal or governmental taxes, assessments or charges assessed upon the
Property, nor claim any deduction from the taxable value of the Property by reason of this
Mortgage.
