First United Bank and Trust Company v. Jaime Maldonado Jr

Filed: Feb 23, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s cut straight to the drama: a bank is suing a homeowner in rural Oklahoma over a mortgage that started at $25,200—yes, twenty-five thousand two hundred bucks—because he missed a couple of payments. Not a foreclosure on a six-figure dream home. Not a Wall Street-backed loan gone sideways. We’re talking about a modest plot of land in Rainbow’s Lakeview Homesites—which sounds less like a real place and more like a Monopoly property—over a debt that, as of the filing, totals just $18,778.83. That’s not even enough to buy a decent used truck in 2026. And yet, here we are, in Marshall County District Court, where First United Bank and Trust Company is flexing its full legal artillery to reclaim what it’s owed, complete with a power of sale, cross-collateralization clauses, and enough legalese to make your eyes bleed.

So who are these people? On one side: First United Bank and Trust Company, a regional bank with offices in Durant, Oklahoma, represented by Don Timberlake of the law firm Baer & Timberlake, P.C.—a name so on-the-nose it sounds like a villain law duo from a 1980s cop show. On the other side: Jaime Maldonado Jr., listed in the filing as a “single person” (a detail oddly emphasized, as if the court needs to know he’s not hiding a secret wife in the basement), and Melanie J. Ward, who co-signed the promissory note. The filing also drags in “Spouse of Jaime Maldonado” and “Occupant(s) of the Premises” as defendants—legal ghosts, really, included just in case someone, somewhere, might have a claim to this tiny parcel of Oklahoma soil. The property? Lot 4, Block 3, in Rainbow’s Lakeview Homesites, Kingston, OK—address 10687 Edna Ln. It’s not clear if there’s even a house on it. Could be a trailer. Could be a shed. Could be a dream deferred.

The story begins, like so many American sagas, with a loan. On December 30, 2021, Maldonado and Ward signed a promissory note for $25,200 at an 8.5% interest rate—already spicy for a mortgage, but not unheard of in rural lending. The loan was supposed to be paid back over ten years in monthly installments of $312.49. For five years, things seemed to hum along. But then—plot twist—payments stopped. The default date? June 30, 2025. That’s when the bank stopped getting checks (or ACH transfers, or Venmo, or whatever modern method they accept). The filing doesn’t say why the payments stopped. Lost job? Medical emergency? Did someone buy a boat they couldn’t afford? Did Melanie J. Ward move to Tulsa and ghost the whole situation? We don’t know. The petition doesn’t care. It just says: They didn’t pay. We want our money.

Now, here’s where it gets juicy. The bank isn’t just asking for the $18,778.83 in unpaid principal. No, no. That sum is just the tip of the foreclosure iceberg. Thanks to the mortgage agreement—which, by the way, includes a variable interest rate clause and a cross-collateralization bomb—the bank can come after all debts Maldonado or Ward might owe them, now or in the future, for any reason, even if unrelated to this loan. Did you take out a personal loan for a hunting rifle? A credit card for Christmas presents? Doesn’t matter. This mortgage might be securing those too. And if the bank decides to foreclose? They can sell the property without going to court, thanks to the “power of sale” clause. That’s right—no judge, no jury, just a public auction and a gavel. Poof. Your land’s gone.

The legal claim? Breach of contract. That’s it. Maldonado and Ward promised to pay. They didn’t. The bank says the contract allows them to accelerate the debt—meaning the entire balance becomes due immediately upon default. And because the mortgage was properly recorded in January 2022 (Book 1198, Page 02, because nothing says drama like a county clerk’s ledger), the bank claims a “first, prior and superior lien” on the property. Translation: they’re first in line when the money starts flowing. Everyone else—spouses, occupants, future heirs, distant cousins with sentimental attachments—gets squat unless they show up in court and prove otherwise.

What does the bank want? Well, officially: $18,778.83, plus interest, plus attorney fees, plus costs of the action, plus any expenses they’ve fronted (like title work or insurance), all to be paid either by a foreclosure sale or a court judgment. They also want the court to foreclose the mortgage, declare their lien valid, and bar anyone else from making future claims on the property. In practical terms: sell the land, pay the bank, and if there’s anything left over, the court can figure out who gets it. (Spoiler: there probably won’t be anything left.)

Now, is $18,778.83 a lot? In the grand scheme of American mortgages? No. It’s barely a down payment on a suburban townhouse. But for someone in Kingston, Oklahoma—a town with a population under 1,500—it could be a year’s income. And yet, the bank isn’t offering a payment plan. Isn’t suggesting mediation. Isn’t even pausing to ask, “Hey, what happened?” They went straight for the legal jugular. And let’s not forget: the original loan was only $25,200. They’re now trying to recover nearly 75% of that in just four years—meaning the interest, fees, and penalties have already eaten up a huge chunk.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t the amount. It’s the tone. This is a $19,000 debt, and the bank filed a 20-page legal document with references to CERCLA, Hazardous Substances, Uniform Commercial Code security interests, and deficiency judgments—as if Jaime Maldonado Jr. is running a toxic waste dump on his lot in Rainbow’s Lakeview Homesites. The mortgage even includes a clause waiving the homestead exemption, which in Oklahoma protects a person’s primary residence from creditors. So not only did Maldonado sign away his right to keep a roof over his head—he may not have even realized he was doing it.

We’re rooting for the human element here. For the possibility that this isn’t greed, but hardship. That Melanie J. Ward didn’t vanish, but is working two jobs in Oklahoma City to make ends meet. That Jaime Maldonado Jr. didn’t stop paying because he’s deadbeat, but because life—medical bills, car repairs, inflation in 2025—finally caught up with him. And we’re side-eyeing the bank for treating a modest personal loan like a high-stakes corporate default. Is this justice? Or just the cold, mechanical grind of a system that profits from failure?

One thing’s for sure: in the battle between a small-town bank and a homeowner in Lot 4, Block 3, the real winner might just be the lawyer. Don Timberlake’s already getting paid—rain or foreclosure.

Ward 5532 McDuffee Rd Kingston, OK 73439 Lender: First United Bank and Trust Co. Durant Community Bank 1400 W Main PO Box 130 Durant, OK 74701 Principal Amount: $25,200.00 Date of Note: December 30, 2021 PROMISE TO PAY. I ("Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to First United Bank and Trust Co. ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Twenty-five Thousand Two Hundred & 00/100 Dollars ($25,200.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from December 30, 2021, until paid in full. PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, I will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal balances as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using the interest rates described in this paragraph: 60 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $312.49 each, beginning January 30, 2022, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an initial interest rate of 8.500% per annum; 59 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $305.20 each, beginning January 30, 2027, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate based on the one (1) year Constant Maturity Treasury (currently 0.110%), plus a margin of 7.250 percentage points, the sum rounded up to the nearest 0.250, resulting in an initial interest rate of 7.500% per annum; and one principal and interest payment of $304.90 on December 30, 2031, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate based on the one (1) year Constant Maturity Treasury (currently 0.110%), plus a margin of 7.250 percentage points, the sum rounded up to the nearest 0.250, resulting in an initial interest rate of 7.500% per annum. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the index does not change; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any escrow or reserve account payments as required under any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument or security agreement securing this Note; then to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. I will pay Lender to Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. For the first 60 payments, the interest rate on this loan will be 8.500%. Thereafter, the interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the one (1) year Constant Maturity Treasury (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. Lender will tell me the current Index rate upon my request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each 12 months. I understand that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 0.110% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be the rates or rates set forth herein in the "Payment" section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, after the first payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the due date of the last payment in the just-ending payment stream and will be determined using the most recent index figure available as of 45 days before the date of the scheduled interest rate change. If the Index is no longer published to the general public or the administrator of the Index or a regulator has issued a public statement that the Index is no longer reliable or representative during the term of this Note ("Replacement Event"), then Lender may amend this Note by designating a substantially similar replacement index which shall become the new index on the loan ("Replacement Index"). Lender may also amend and adjust any margin corresponding to the replaced index described in the "Payments" section to accompany the Replacement Index ("Replacement Margin"). The Replacement Margin may be a positive or negative value, or zero. In making these amendments, Lender will make a reasonable, good faith effort to select a Replacement Index and Replacement Margin that Lender reasonably expects will minimize any change in the cost of the loan, taking into account the historical performance of the Index being replaced and the Replacement Index. If the Replacement Index is newly established and therefore does not have a rate history, it may nonetheless be used if it produces an interest rate substantially similar to the rate in effect at the time of the Replacement Event. Such an amendment to the terms of this Note will become effective immediately upon the Replacement Event and will be used to determine my interest rate and monthly payments for interest rate adjustments that are more than 45 days from the Replacement Event. Lender will notify me of the Replacement Index and Replacement Margin as appropriate. After a Replacement Event, all references to the "Index" and any margin corresponding to the Index shall be deemed to be references to the "Replacement Index" and "Replacement Margin." NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 4.750% per annum or more than the lesser of 21.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Any increase in the interest rate will increase the amounts of my payments. INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (365 for all years, including leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method. PREPAYMENT. I agree that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be refunded to me upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, I may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve me of my obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in my making fewer payments. I agree not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If I send such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and I will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: First United Bank and Trust Co., Attn Loan Operations, PO Box 130 Durant, OK 74702-0130. LATE CHARGE. If my payment is more than 15 days late, I will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $22.50, whichever is greater. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated by Lender because of my default, the total sum due under this Note will continue to accrue interest at the interest rate under this Note, with the final interest rate described in this Note applying after maturity, or after maturity would have occurred had there been no default. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law. DEFAULT. I will be in default under this Note if any of the following happen: Payment Default. I fail to make any payment when due under this Note. Break Other Promises. I break any promise made to Lender or fail to perform promptly at the time and strictly in the manner provided in this Note or in any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan I have with Lender. Default in Favor of Third Parties. I or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of my property or my ability to repay this Note or perform my obligations under this Note or any of the related documents. False Statements. Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by me or on my behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished. Death or Insolvency. Any Borrower dies or becomes insolvent; a receiver is appointed for any part of my property; I make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding is commenced either by me or against me under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Taking of the Property. Any creditor or governmental agency tries to take any of the property or any other of my property in which Lender has a lien. This includes taking of, garnishing of or levying on my accounts with Lender. However, if I dispute in good faith whether the claim on which the taking of the property is based is valid or reasonable, and if I give Lender written notice of the claim and furnish Lender with monies or a surety bond satisfactory to Lender to satisfy the claim, then the default provision will not apply. Defective Collateralization. This Note or any of the related documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason. Collateral Damage or Loss. Any collateral securing this Note is lost, stolen, substantially damaged or destroyed and the loss, theft, substantial damage or destruction is not covered by insurance. Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if I have not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if: after Lender sends written notice to me demanding cure of such default: (1) cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then I will pay that amount. ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if I do not pay. I will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation all attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, I also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law. JURY WAIVER. Lender and I hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or me against the other. GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Oklahoma without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Oklahoma. DISHONORED ITEM FEE. I will pay a fee to Lender of $25.00 if I make a payment on my loan and the check or other payment order including any preauthorized charge with which I pay is later dishonored. RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all my accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts I hold jointly with someone else and all accounts I may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. I authorize Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph. COLLATERAL. I acknowledge this Note is secured by the following collateral described in the security instrument listed herein: a Mortgage dated December 30, 2021, to Lender on real property located in Marshall County, State of Oklahoma. SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon me and upon my heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. NOTIFY US OF INACCURATE INFORMATION WE REPORT TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES. I may notify Lender if Lender reports any inaccurate information about my account(s) to a consumer reporting agency. My written notice describing the specific inaccuracy(ies) should be sent to Lender at the following address: First United Bank and Trust Co Attn Loan Operations PO Box 130 Durant, OK 74702-0130. GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. I and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations under this Note are joint and several. This means that the words "I", "me", and "my" mean each and all of the persons signing below.

Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Grantor or to any other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Property for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws; and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Mortgage or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring prior to Grantor's ownership or interest in the Property, whether or not the same was or should have been known to Grantor. The provisions of this section of the Mortgage, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Mortgage and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Nuisance, Waste. Grantor shall not cause, conduct or permit any nuisance nor commit, permit, or suffer MORTGAGE (Continued) any stripping of or waste on or to the Property or any portion of the Property.

Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the Property. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Grantor has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Grantor to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest. Duty to Protect. Grantor agrees neither to abandon or leave unattended the Property. Grantor shall do all other acts, in addition to those acts set forth above in this section, which from the character and use of the Property are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the Property. DUE ON SALE - CONSENT BY LENDER. Lender may, at Lender's option, declare immediately due and payable all sums secured by this Mortgage upon the sale or transfer, without Lender's prior written consent, of all or any part of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real Property. A "sale or transfer" means the conveyance of Real Property or any right, title or interest in the Real Property; whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary; whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest with a term greater than three (3) years, lease-option contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any other method of conveyance of an interest in the Real Property. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by federal law or by Oklahoma law. TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part of this Mortgage: Payment. Grantor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to delinquency) all taxes, payroll taxes, special taxes, assessments, water charges and sewer service charges levied against or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished to the Property. Grantor shall maintain the Property free of any liens having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, except for those liens specifically agreed to in writing by Lender, and except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due as further specified in the Right to Contest paragraph. Evidence of Payment. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to Lender satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments and shall authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the Property. Notice of Construction. Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any work is commenced, any services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic's lien, materialmen's lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the work, services, or materials. Grantor will upon request of Lender furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements. PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Mortgage: Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Policies shall be written by such insurance MORTGAGE (Continued) companies and in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall deliver to Lender certificates of coverage from each insurer containing a stipulation that coverage will not be cancelled or diminished without a minimum of thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and not containing any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real Property be located in an area designated by the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain flood insurance, if available, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan. Flood insurance may be purchased under the National Flood Insurance Program, from private insurers providing "private flood insurance" as defined by applicable federal flood insurance statutes and regulations, or from another flood insurance provider that is both acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and permitted by applicable federal flood insurance statutes and regulations. Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. Whether or not Lender's security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender's election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property. If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under this Mortgage. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Mortgage, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor's interests may appear. If all or part of the Property is damaged or destroyed by a third party and sums are due from that party or its insurer as a result, whether due to judgment, settlement or other process, these sums shall be applied in the same manner as insurance proceeds under this paragraph. TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVES. Subject to any limitations and consistent with any requirements set by applicable law, Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by an initial deposit and subsequent monthly payments, or payments at such other interval as payments under the Note may be due, of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to pay the total annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums Lender reasonably anticipates to be paid from these reserves. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit from Grantor, which Lender may satisfy by payment of the taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due. Lender shall have the right to draw upon the reserve funds to pay such items, and Lender shall not be required to determine the validity or accuracy of any item before paying it. Nothing in the Mortgage shall be construed as requiring Lender to advance other monies for such purposes, and Lender shall not incur any liability for anything it may do or omit to do with respect to the reserve account. Subject to any limitations set by applicable law, if the reserve funds disclose a shortage or deficiency, Grantor shall pay such shortage or deficiency as required by Lender. If Lender discovers that the payments into the reserve account have produced a surplus beyond the annual amounts due to be paid from the reserve funds by more than the cushion permitted by applicable law, but a payment on the Note has not been received within 30 days of the payment due date, Lender may retain the excess funds. All amounts in the reserve account are hereby pledged to further secure the Indebtedness, and Lender is hereby authorized to withdraw and apply such amounts on the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Lender shall not be required to pay any interest or earnings on the reserve funds unless required by law or agreed to by Lender in writing. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not Grantor's agent for payment of the taxes and assessments required to be paid by Grantor. LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If Grantor fails (A) to keep the Property free of all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, (B) to provide any required insurance on the Property, or (C) to make repairs to the Property then Lender may do so. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interests in the Property, then Lender on Grantor's behalf may, but is not required to, take any action that Lender believes to be appropriate to protect Lender's interests. All expenses incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note or at the highest rate authorized by law, from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Mortgage also will secure payment of these amounts. The rights provided for in this paragraph shall be in addition to any other rights or any remedies to which Lender may be entitled on account of any default. Any such action by Lender shall not be construed as curing the default so as to bar Lender from any remedy that it otherwise would have had. If Lender is required by law to give Grantor notice before or after Lender makes an expenditure, Grantor agrees that notice sent by regular mail at least five (5) days before the expenditure is made or notice delivered two (2) days before the expenditure is made is sufficient, and that notice within sixty (60) days after the expenditure is made is reasonable. WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE. The following provisions relating to ownership of the Property are a part of this Mortgage: Title. Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good and marketable title of record to the Property in fee simple, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those set forth in the Real Property description or in any title insurance policy, title report, or final title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection with this Mortgage, and (b) Grantor has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage to Lender. Defense of Title. Subject to the exception in the paragraph above, Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property against the lawful claims of all persons. In the event any action or proceeding is commenced that questions Grantor's title or the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, Grantor shall defend the action at Grantor's expense. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender's own choice, and Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time to permit such participation. Compliance With Laws. Grantor warrants that the Property and Grantor's use of the Property complies with all existing applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations of governmental authorities. Survival of Promises. All promises, agreements, and statements Grantor has made in this Mortgage shall survive the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, shall be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower's Indebtedness is paid in full. CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are a part of this Mortgage: Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such participation. Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to the Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in connection with the condemnation. IMPOSITION OF TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. The following provisions relating to governmental taxes, fees and charges are a part of this Mortgage: Current Taxes, Fees and Charges.

MORTGAGE (Continued) Subsequent Taxes. If any tax to which this section applies is enacted subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, this event shall have the same effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any or all of its available remedies for an Event of Default as provided below unless Grantor either (1) pays the tax before it becomes delinquent, or (2) contests the tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and deposits with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender. SECURITY AGREEMENT; FINANCING STATEMENTS. The following provisions relating to this Mortgage as a security agreement are a part of this Mortgage: Security Agreement. This instrument shall constitute a Security Agreement to the extent any of the Property constitutes fixtures, and Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as amended from time to time. Security Interest. Upon request by Lender, Grantor shall take whatever action is requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Personal Property. In addition to recording this Mortgage in the real property records, Lender may, at any time and without further authorization from Grantor, file executed counterparts, copies or reproductions of this Mortgage as a financing statement. Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all expenses incurred in perfecting or continuing this security interest. Upon default, Grantor shall not remove, sever or detach the Personal Property from the Property. Upon default, Grantor shall assemble any Personal Property not affixed to the Property in a manner and at a place reasonably convenient to Grantor and Lender and make it available to Lender within three (3) days after receipt of written demand from Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law. Addresses.

FURTHER ASSURANCES; ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The following provisions relating to further assurances and attorney-in-fact are a part of this Mortgage: Further Assurances. At any time, and from time to time, upon request of Lender, Grantor will make, execute and deliver, or will cause to be made, executed or delivered, to Lender or to Lender's designee, and when requested by Lender, cause to be filed, recorded, refiled, or rerecorded, as the case may be, at such times and in such offices and places as Lender may deem appropriate, any and all such mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates, and other documents as may, in the sole opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue, or preserve (1) Borrower's and Grantor's obligations under the Note, this Mortgage, and the Related Documents, and (2) the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage as first and prior liens on the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor. Unless prohibited by law or Lender agrees to the contrary in writing, Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the matters referred to in this paragraph. Attorney-in-Fact. If Grantor fails to do any of the things referred to in the preceding paragraph, Lender may do so for and in the name of Grantor and at Grantor's expense. For such purposes, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, executing, delivering, filing, recording, and doing all other things as may be necessary or desirable, in Lender's sole opinion, to accomplish the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph. FULL PERFORMANCE. If Borrower and Grantor pay all the Indebtedness when due, and Grantor otherwise performs all the obligations imposed upon Grantor under this Mortgage, Lender shall execute and deliver to Grantor a suitable satisfaction of this Mortgage and suitable statements of termination of any financing statement on file evidencing Lender's security interest in the Personal Property. Grantor will pay, if permitted by applicable law, any reasonable termination fee as determined by Lender from time to time. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. At Lender's option, Grantor will be in default under this Mortgage if any of the following happen: Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness. Default on Other Payments. Failure of Grantor within the time required by this Mortgage to make any payment for taxes or insurance, or any other payment necessary to prevent filing of or to effect discharge of any lien. Break Other Promises. Borrower or Grantor breaks any promise made to Lender or fails to perform promptly at the time and strictly in the manner provided in this Mortgage or in any agreement related to this Mortgage. Condemnation, Casualty. The taking by rights of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Property or the damage or destruction by an uninsured casualty of the Property. Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's or any Grantor's property or Borrower's ability to repay the Indebtedness or Borrower's or Grantor's ability to perform their respective obligations under this Mortgage or any of the Related Documents. False Statements. Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor or on Borrower's or Grantor's behalf under this Mortgage or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.

Death or Insolvency. The death of Borrower or Grantor, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's or Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower or Grantor.

This includes taking of, garnishing of or levying on Borrower's or Grantor's accounts with Lender. However, if Borrower or Grantor disputes in good faith whether the claim on which the taking of the Property is based is valid or reasonable, and if Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the claim and furnishes Lender with monies or a surety bond satisfactory to Lender to satisfy the claim, then this default provision will not apply. Breach of Other Agreement. Any breach by Borrower or Grantor under the terms of any other agreement between Borrower or Grantor and Lender that is not remedied within any grace period provided therein, including without limitation any agreement concerning any indebtedness or other obligation of Borrower or Grantor to Lender, whether existing now or later.

Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure. Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Mortgage within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Grantor, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender, at Lender's option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law: Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option without notice to Borrower or Grantor to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty that Borrower would be required to pay. UCC Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Appoint Receiver. In any action by Lender for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, whether by judicial foreclosure or power of sale, Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver upon any failure of Grantor to comply with any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Mortgage, the Note, or any Related Documents. Judicial Foreclosure. Lender may obtain a judicial decree foreclosing Grantor's interest in all or any part of the Property. Power of Sale.(1) Lender, as an alternative remedy, may elect to foreclose by power of sale, and Grantor authorizes Lender, or Lender's attorney, and grants to Lender, or Lender's attorney, the power (a) to sell and to convey the Property to a purchaser and the purchaser's heirs or assigns, forever, and (b) to foreclose Grantor's rights and the rights of all persons who took an interest in the Property subject to this Mortgage.(2) This right to foreclose and to sell and convey the Property which Grantor has given Lender by contract is called the "power of sale" and may, at the option of Lender, be utilized in lieu of the procedure authorized by law for acceleration and foreclosure by judicial process. The power of sale means that in accordance with applicable Oklahoma law with respect to notice to Grantor and other persons, Grantor's interest and the other persons' interests in the Property can be sold by Lender at public sale and that the proceeds can be applied to pay the accelerated debt evidenced by the Note and any other Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage without Lender having to go to court in a foreclosure action.(3) However, under the power of sale, before Lender, after an Event of Default, declares all sums secured by this Mortgage immediately due and payable irrespective of any maturity date specified in the Note or in this Mortgage, Lender must give Grantor written notice of intention to foreclose by power of sale, which notice informs Grantor how Grantor has failed to perform under this Mortgage and what Grantor must do to cure the failure.(4) Grantor will have the right for thirty-five (35) days from the date notice is sent, or for any other period provided by law, to cure the failure by paying money or otherwise providing the performance due, unless Grantor previously has been in default more than the number of times specified by statute within the previous two (2) years, in which case (a) Lender is entitled immediately to accelerate the sums secured by this Mortgage and to proceed with the power of sale, and (b) Lender is not required to send a notice of intention of foreclosure with any right to cure. If Grantor cures the default or if Lender accepts a partial performance and a promise to complete performance later, Lender may not require immediate payment in full by acceleration. Grantor understands cure of a default or Lender's acceptance of partial cure and a promise to complete performance later does not affect or compromise Lender's rights if there is again a default. If Lender so requests, Grantor agrees to sign and return a form stating (a) when Grantor received the notice specified in this paragraph, (b) whether the Property is homestead property, and (c) if so, whether Grantor will elect judicial foreclosure or elect against a deficiency. Grantor understands that Grantor may, but need not, waive a right to cure in any such receipt form if requested by Lender.(5) In any effort to collect the amounts secured by this Mortgage, whether or not involving foreclosure and sale by power of sale, Lender will have the right to collect all costs allowed by law, and Grantor agrees to pay to the extent permitted by law Lender's legal expenses. Deficiency Judgment. If permitted by applicable law, Lender may obtain a judgment for any deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this section. Appraisement. Lender, at Lender's option, may waive or not waive appraisement of the Property at the time judgment is rendered in any judicial foreclosure of the Property or at any time prior to such foreclosure. Other Remedies. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or the Note or available at law or in equity. Sale of the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and Grantor hereby waive any and all right to have the Property marshalled. In exercising its rights and remedies, Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property. Notice of Sale. Lender will give Grantor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Personal Property or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal Property is to be made. Reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any sale of the Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real Property. Election of Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies will be cumulative and may be exercised alone or together. An election by Lender to choose any one remedy will not bar Lender from using any other remedy.
