That the Defendant, April E. Dean, was at the time him acquired an interest in and to the subject property a single person. That the Plaintiff does not know the current marital status of the Defendant, April E. Dean, and therefore joins a spouse, if any, in order to foreclose any possible homestead interest which he may have.
That the Plaintiff does not know, and with due diligence is unable to ascertain, the true and correct name(s) of the individual(s) occupying the real property, and therefore sues said individual(s) by the name(s) of Occupant(s) of the premises, whose true and correct name(s) are unknown to Plaintiff. That said individual(s) are made party defendant(s) herein to foreclose any right, title, or interest which they may have or claim to have in and to the real estate and premises herein sued upon by reason of their occupancy.
2. That the original maker(s), for a good and valuable consideration, made, executed and delivered to the Payee, a certain written purchase money promissory note; a true authoritative copy of said note is hereto attached, marked Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof by reference.
3. That as a part of the same transaction, and to secure the payment of the note above described and the indebtedness represented thereby, the owner(s) of the real estate hereinafter described, made, executed and delivered to the Payee of said note, a certain purchase money real estate mortgage in writing, and therein and thereby mortgaged and conveyed to said mortgagee the following described real estate situated in Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, to-wit:

That said mortgage was duly executed and acknowledged according to law, the mortgage tax duly paid thereon, and was filed in the office of the County Clerk of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, and therein recorded at January 20, 2004, in Book No. 7217, at Page 1449, a true and correct copy of said mortgage is attached hereto, marked Exhibit A, and made a part hereto by reference, which mortgage and the record thereof is incorporated herein by reference as provided by law.
Together with all Modification Agreements entered into subsequent to the execution and recording of the mortgage herein sued upon,
4. That thereafter, for a good and valuable consideration, said note and mortgage were assigned and endorsed to the Plaintiff. That Plaintiff has complied with all of the terms, conditions precedent and provisions of said note and mortgage, and is duly empowered to bring this suit.
5. Said mortgage provides that in addition to and together with the monthly payments of principal and interest as provided in said note, the mortgagor(s) will pay on the first day of each month, installments of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, if any, relating to said property and said mortgage, agreed to be paid on said note and mortgage by said makers thereof.
6. That said note and mortgage provide that if default be made in the payment of any of the monthly installments, or on failure or neglect to keep or perform any of the other conditions and covenants of the mortgage, that the entire principal sum and accrued interest, together with all other sums secured by said mortgage, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the holder thereof, and the holder shall be entitled to foreclose said mortgage and recover the unpaid principal thereon and all expenditures of the mortgagee made thereunder, with interest thereon, and to have said premises sold and the proceeds applied to the payment of the indebtedness secured thereby, together with all legal and necessary expense and all costs.
7. That default has been made upon said note and mortgage in that the installments due October 16, 2016, and thereafter have not been paid.
8. That preliminary to the bringing of this action, and as a necessary expense thereof, this Plaintiff caused the abstract of title to be extended and certified to date at a cost of a reasonable amount for title search and examination expenses of a reasonable amount with interest per annum thereon, until paid.
9. That said note and mortgage provide that in case of a foreclosure of said mortgage and as often as any proceedings shall be taken to foreclose the same, the makers will pay an attorney's fee as therein provided, and that the same shall be a further charge and lien on said premises.
10. That after allowing all just credits there is due to Plaintiff on said note and mortgage the sum of $122,513.10, with 6.375% interest per annum thereon from September 16, 2016, until paid in accordance with applicable federal law; said abstract expense of a reasonable amount with interest thereon, until paid; title search and examination expenses of a reasonable amount with interest per annum thereon, until paid; and a
reasonable attorney's fee, and for all costs of this action; and for all charges due under the terms of the note and mortgage, and for such sums as may have been advanced since default on the indebtedness herein sued upon or may be hereafter advanced or incurred by Plaintiff through completion of this action, including taxes, recording fees, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, expenses reasonably necessary for the preservation of the subject property, or of the priority of Plaintiff's first mortgage lien, and further including costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred in any bankruptcy instituted by any party defendant and all expenses, costs and attorneys fees of execution and sale, including poundage upon sale and that said amounts are secured by said mortgage and constitute a first, prior and superior lien upon the real estate and premises above described.
11. That said mortgage specifically provides that appraisement of said property is expressly waived or not waived at the option of the mortgagee.
12. Plaintiff further alleges as follows:
That the defendants, April E. Dean; Unknown Spouse of April E. Dean; Occupants of the Premises, if any, may be claiming some right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment or interest in or to the real estate and premises involved herein adverse to the Plaintiff, which constitutes a cloud upon the title of Plaintiff, but that any right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment or interest, either in law or in equity which said defendants, or any or either of them may have or claim to have, is subsequent, junior and inferior to the first mortgage lien of the Plaintiff.
That said interest or claims arising by reason of the foregoing facts and circumstances, as well as any other right, title or interest which the defendants named herein, or any or either of them have or claim to have, in or to said real estate and premises is subsequent, junior and inferior to the mortgage and lien of the Plaintiff.
13. In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Title 15 U.S.C.A. Sec.1692(g), if applicable, unless the person or entity responsible for the payment of the above debt, within thirty days after receipt of this notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid; and if said person or entity notifies the
undersigned attorney for Plaintiff in writing within said thirty day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, said attorney will obtain verification of the debt and a copy of such verification will be mailed to said person or entity by the undersigned attorney for Plaintiff; and upon written request by you within the thirty day period, the undersigned attorney for Plaintiff will provide the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays judgment against April E. Dean, in the sum of $122,513.10, with 6.375% interest per annum thereon from September 16, 2016, until paid in accordance with applicable federal law; abstract expense of a reasonable amount, with interest thereon, until paid; title search and examination expenses of a reasonable amount with interest per annum thereon, until paid; and a reasonable attorney's fee, and for all costs of this action; and for all charges due under the terms of the note and mortgage, and for such sums as may have been advanced since default on the indebtedness herein sued upon or may be hereafter advanced or incurred by Plaintiff through completion of this action, including taxes, recording fees, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, expenses reasonably necessary for the preservation of the subject property, or of the priority of Plaintiff's first mortgage lien, and further including costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred in any bankruptcy instituted by any party defendant and all expenses, costs and attorneys fees of execution and sale, including poundage upon sale, on any judgment hereafter entered in this cause, including poundage upon sale, and for all costs of this action.
And for a further judgment against all of the Defendants in and to this cause adjudging:
That all of the Defendants herein be required to appear and set forth any right, title, claim or interest which they have, or may have, in and to said real estate and premises; and
That said mortgage be foreclosed and that the same be declared a valid first, prior and superior lien upon the real estate hereinbefore described, for and in the amounts above set forth, and ordering said real estate and premises sold, for cash, with or without appraisement, as the Plaintiff may elect at the time judgment is entered as provided in said mortgage and by law, subject to unpaid taxes, advancements by Plaintiff for taxes, insurance premiums, or expenses necessary for the preservation of the subject property, if any, to satisfy said
judgment, and that the proceeds arising therefrom be applied to the payment of the costs herein, and the payments and satisfaction of the judgment, mortgage and lien of this Plaintiff, and that the surplus, if any, be paid into Court to abide the further order of the Court.
That should the proceeds of sale be insufficient to pay the Plaintiff's judgment and upon application of Plaintiff and hearing, a deficiency judgment be awarded to Plaintiff against such Defendants as may be personally liable therefor, all as provided by law.
That all right, title and interest of said Defendants, and each of them, if any, in and to said real estate, be adjudged subject, junior and inferior to the mortgage lien and judgment of this Plaintiff, and that upon confirmation of such sale, the Defendants herein, and each of them, and all persons claiming by, through or under them since the commencement of this action, be forever barred, foreclosed and enjoined from asserting or claiming any right, title, interest, estate or equity of redemption in or to said premises, or any part thereof;

PROMISSORY NOTE
Type of Loan SECTION 502
Date: January 16, 2004
8247 N 128th East Ave
(Property Address)
Owasso, Tulsa, Oklahoma
(City or Town) (County) (State)
BORROWER’S PROMISE TO PAY. In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay to the order of the United States of America, acting through the Rural Housing Service (and its successors)("Government") $102,000.00 (this amount is called "principal"), plus interest.
INTEREST. Interest will be charged on the unpaid principal until the full amount of the principal has been paid. I will pay interest at a yearly rate of 6.375%. The interest rate required by this section is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described below.
PAYMENTS. I agree to pay principal and interest using one of two alternatives indicated below:
[X] II. Payments shall not be deferred. I agree to pay principal and interest in 396 installments as indicated in the box below.
I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month. I will make my monthly payment on the 16th day of each month beginning on February 16, 2004 and continuing for 395 months. I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this note. My monthly payments will be applied to interest before principal. If on January 16, 2037, I still owe amounts under this note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "maturity date."
My monthly payment will be $617.65. I will make my monthly payment at the post office address noted on my billing statement or a different place if required by the Government.
PRINCIPAL ADVANCES. If the entire principal amount of the loan is not advanced at the time of loan closing, the unadvanced balance of the loan will be advanced at my request provided the Government agrees to the advance. The Government must make the advance provided the advance is requested for an authorized purpose. Interest shall accrue on the amount of each advance beginning on the date of the advance as shown in the Record of Advances below. I authorize the Government to enter the amount and date of such advance on the Record of Advances.
HOUSING ACT OF 1949. This promissory note is made pursuant to title V of the Housing Act of 1949. It is for the type of loan indicated in the "Type of Loan" block at the top of this note. This note shall be subject to the present regulations of the Government and to its future regulations not inconsistent with the express provisions of this note.
EXHIBIT "A"
PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES
LATE CHARGES. If the Government has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of 15 days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge. The amount of the charge will be 4,000 percent of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this charge promptly, but only once on each late payment.
BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY. I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A payment of principal only is known as a "prepayment." When I make a prepayment, I will tell the Government in writing that I am making a prepayment.
I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayment without paying any prepayment charge. The Government will use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I owe under this Note. If I make a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Government agrees in writing to those changes. Prepayments will be applied to my loan in accordance with the Government's regulations and accounting procedures in effect on the date of receipt of the payment.
ASSIGNMENT OF NOTE. I understand and agree that the Government may at any time assign this note without my consent. If the Government assigns the note I will make my payments to the assignee of the note and in such case the term "Government" will mean the assignee.
CREDIT ELSEWHERE CERTIFICATION. I certify to the Government that I am unable to obtain sufficient credit from other sources at reasonable rates and terms for the purposes for which the Government is giving me this loan.
USE CERTIFICATION. I certify to the Government that the funds I am borrowing from the Government will only be used for purposes authorized by the Government.
LEASE OR SALE OF PROPERTY. If the property constructed, improved, purchased, or refinanced with this loan is (1) leased or rented with an option to purchase, (2) leased or rented without option to purchase for 3 years or longer, or (3) is sold or title is otherwise conveyed, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Government may at its option declare the entire remaining unpaid balance of the loan immediately due and payable. If this happens, I will have to immediately pay off the entire loan.
REQUIREMENT TO REFINANCE WITH PRIVATE CREDIT. I agree to periodically provide the Government with information the Government requests about my financial situation. If the Government determines that I can get a loan from a responsible cooperative or private credit source, such as a bank or a credit union, at reasonable rates and terms for similar purposes as this loan, at the Government's request, I will apply for and accept a loan in a sufficient amount to pay this note in full. This requirement does not apply to any cosigner who signed this note pursuant to section 502 of the Housing Act of 1949 to compensate for my lack of repayment ability.
SUBSIDY REPAYMENT AGREEMENT. I agree to the repayment (recapture) of subsidy granted in the form of payment assistance under the Government's regulations.
CREDIT SALE TO NONPROGRAM BORROWER. The provisions of the paragraphs entitled "Credit Elsewhere Certification" and "Requirement to Refinance with Private Credit" do not apply if this loan is classified as a nonprogram loan pursuant to section 502 of the Housing Act of 1949.
DEFAULT. If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default. If I am in default the Government may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Government may require me to immediately pay the full amount of the unpaid principal, all the interest that I owe, and any late charges. Interest will continue to accrue on past due principal and interest. Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Government does not require me to pay immediately as describe in the preceding sentence, the Government will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later date. If the Government has required me to immediately pay in full as described above, the Government will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this promissory note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorney's fees.
NOTICES. Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the property address listed above or at a different address if I give the Government a notice of my different address. Any notice that must be given to the Government will be given by mailing it by first class mail to the Government at USDA / Rural Housing Service, c/o Customer Service Branch, P.O. Box 66889, St. Louis, MO 63166, or at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address.
OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE. If more than one person signs this note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety, or endorser of this note is also obligated to do these things. The Government may enforce its rights under this note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this note. The term "Borrower" shall refer to each person signing this note.
WAIVERS. I and any other person who has obligations under this note waive the rights of presentment and notice of dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Government to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of dishonor" means the right to require the Government to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.
WARNING: Failure to fully disclose accurate and truthful financial information in connection with my loan application may result in the termination of program assistance currently being received, and the denial of future federal assistance under the Department of Agriculture's Debarment regulations, 7 C.F.R. part 3017.

Rural Housing Service
MORTGAGE FOR OKLAHOMA
THIS MORTGAGE ("Security Instrument") is made on January 16, 2004. The mortgagor is April E. Dean, A Single Person ("Borrower").
This Security Instrument is given to the United States of America acting through the Rural Housing Service or successor agency, United States Department of Agriculture ("Lender"), whose address is Rural Housing Service, c/o Centralized Servicing Center, United States Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 66889, St. Louis, Missouri 63166.
Borrower is indebted to Lender under the following promissory notes and/or assumption agreements (herein collectively called "Note") which have been executed or assumed by Borrower and which provide for monthly payments, with the full debt, if not paid earlier, due and payable on the maturity date:
Date of Instrument | Principal Amount | Maturity Date
1-16-04 | $102,000.00 | 1-16-2037
This Security Instrument secures to Lender: (a) the repayment of the debt evidenced by the Note, with interest, and all renewals, extensions and modifications of the Note; (b) the payment of all other sums, with interest, advanced under paragraph 7 for the preservation or protection of the Property covered by this Security Instrument or for the enforcement of this Security Instrument; (c) the performance of Borrower's covenants and agreements under this Security Instrument and the Note, and (d) the recapture of any payment assistance and subsidy which may be granted to the Borrower by the Lender pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1472(g) or 1490a. For this purpose, Borrower irrevocably grants, conveys, and mortgages to Lender with power of sale the following described property located in the County of [City], State of Oklahoma:
[See attached Exhibit A]
which has the address of 8247 N. 128th E. Ave Owasso Oklahoma 74055 ("Property Address");
TOGETHER WITH all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property, and all easements, appurtenances, and fixtures which now or hereafter are a part of the property. All replacements and additions shall also be covered by this Security Instrument. All of the 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 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 claims 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 and Interest; Prepayment and Late Charges. Borrower shall promptly pay when due the principal of and interest on the debt evidenced by the Note and any prepayment and late charges due under the Note.
2. Funds for Taxes and Insurance. Subject to applicable law or to a written waiver by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day monthly payments are due under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum ("Funds") for: (a) yearly taxes and assessments which may attain priority over this Security Instrument as a lien on the Property; (b) yearly leasehold payments or ground rents on the Property, if any; (c) yearly hazard or property insurance premiums; and (d) yearly flood insurance premiums, if any. These items are called "Escrow Items." Lender may, at any time, collect and hold Funds in an amount not to exceed the maximum amount a lender for a federally related mortgage loan may require for Borrower's escrow account under the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 as amended from time to time, 12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. ("RESPA"), unless another law or federal regulation that applies to the Funds sets a lesser amount. If so, Lender may, at any time, collect and hold Funds in an amount not to exceed the lesser amount. Lender may estimate the amount of Funds due on the basis of current data and reasonable estimates of expenditures of future Escrow Items or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
The Funds shall be held by a federal agency (including Lender) or in an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity. Lender shall apply the Funds to pay the Escrow Items. Lender may not charge Borrower for holding and applying the Funds, annually analyzing the escrow account, or verifying the Escrow Items, unless Lender pays Borrower interest on the Funds and applicable law permits Lender to make such a charge. However, Lender may require Borrower to pay a one-time charge for an independent real estate tax reporting service used by Lender in connection with this loan, unless applicable law provides otherwise. Unless an agreement is made or applicable law requires interest to be paid, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. Borrower and Lender may agree in writing, however, that interest shall be paid on the Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of the Funds, showing credits and debits to the Funds and the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as additional security for all sums secured by this Security Instrument.
If the Funds held by Lender exceed the amounts permitted to be held by applicable law, Lender shall account to Borrower for the excess funds in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. If the amount of the Funds held by Lender at any time is not sufficient to pay the Escrow Items when due, Lender may so notify Borrower in writing, and, in such case Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount necessary to make up the deficiency. Borrower shall make up the deficiency in no more than twelve monthly payments, at Lender's sole discretion.
Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Funds held by Lender. If Lender shall acquire or sell the Property after acceleration under paragraph 22, Lender, prior to the acquisition or sale of the Property, shall apply any Funds held by Lender at the time of acquisition or sale as a credit against the sums secured by this Security Instrument.
3. Application of Payments. Unless applicable law or Lender's regulations provide otherwise, all payments received by Lender under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be applied in the following order of priority: (1) to advances for the preservation or protection of the Property or enforcement of this lien; (2) to accrued interest due under the Note; (3) to principal due under the Note; (4) to amounts required for the escrow items under paragraph 2; (5) to late charges and other fees and charges.
4. Charges; Liens. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines and impositions attributable to the Property which may attain priority over this Security Instrument, and leasehold payments or ground rents, if any. Borrower shall pay these obligations in the manner provided in paragraph 2, or if not paid in that manner, Borrower shall pay them on time directly, to the person owed payment. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender all notices of amounts to 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 Lender has agreed in writing to such lien or 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 operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien; 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 may attain priority over this Security Instrument, Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the lien. Borrower shall satisfy the lien or take one or more of the actions set forth above within ten (10) days of the giving of notice.
Borrower shall pay to Lender such fees and other charges as may now or hereafter be required by regulations of Lender, and pay or reimburse Lender for all of Lender's fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any full or partial release or subordination of this instrument or any other transaction affecting the property.
5. Hazard or 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 floods or flooding, for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts and for the periods that Lender requires. The insurer providing the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to Lender's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Borrower fails to maintain
coverage described above, at Lender's option Lender may obtain coverage to protect Lender's rights in the Property pursuant to paragraph 7.
All insurance policies and renewals shall be in a form acceptable to Lender and shall include a standard mortgagee clause. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewals. If Lender requires, Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened. 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 any excess paid to Borrower. If Borrower abandons the Property, or does not answer within thirty (30) days a notice from Lender that the insurance carrier has offered to settle a claim, then Lender may collect the insurance proceeds. Lender may use the proceeds to repair or restore the Property or to pay sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due. The thirty (30) day period will begin when the notice is given.
Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly payments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 or change the amount of the payments. If after acceleration the Property is acquired by Lender, Borrower's right to any insurance policies and proceeds resulting from damage to the Property prior to the acquisition shall pass to Lender to the extent of the sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately prior to the acquisition.
6. Preservation, Maintenance, and Protection of the Property; Borrower's Loan Application; Leaseholds. Borrower shall not destroy, damage or impair the Property, allow the Property to deteriorate, or commit waste on the Property. Borrower shall maintain the improvements in good repair and make repairs required by Lender. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations affecting the Property. Borrower shall be in default if any forfeiture action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, is begun that in Lender's good faith 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 by causing the action or proceeding 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. If this Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Borrower shall comply with all the provisions of the lease. If Borrower acquires fee title to the Property, the leasehold and the fee title shall not merge unless Lender agrees to the merger in writing.
7. Protection of Lender's Rights in the Property. If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Security Instrument, or there is a legal proceeding that may significantly affect Lender's rights in the Property (such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture or to enforce laws or regulations), 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 attorneys' fees and entering on the Property to make repairs. Although Lender may take action under this paragraph 7, Lender is not required to do so.
Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this paragraph 7 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.
8. Refinancing. If at any time it shall appear to Lender that Borrower may be able to obtain a loan from a responsible cooperative or private credit source, at reasonable rates and terms for loans for similar purposes, Borrower will, upon the Lender's request, apply for and accept such loan in sufficient amount to pay the note and any indebtedness secured hereby in full.
9. 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.
10. Condemnation. The proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of any part of the Property, or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender. In the event of a total taking of the Property, the proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security 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 the amount of the sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately before the taking, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, 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 immediately 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 hereby 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.
If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if, after notice by Lender to Borrower that the condemnor offers to make an award or settle a claim for damages, Borrower fails to respond to Lender within thirty (30) days after the date the notice is given, Lender is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds, at its option, either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly payments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 or change the amount of such payments.
11. 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 and 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.
12. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Co-signers. The covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16. Borrower's covenants and agreements shall be joint and several. Any Borrower who co-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 agree to extend, modify, forbear or make any accommodations with regard to the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note without that Borrower's consent.
13. Notices. Any notice to Borrower provided for in this Security Instrument shall be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail unless applicable law requires use of another method. The notice shall be directed to the Property Address or any other address Borrower designates by notice to Lender. Any notice to Lender Shall be given by first class mail to Lender's address stated herein or any other address Lender designates by notice to Borrower. Any notice provided for in this Security Instrument shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower or Lender when given as provided in this paragraph.
14. Governing Law; Severability. This Security Instrument shall be governed by federal law. 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. This instrument shall be subject to the present regulations of Lender, and to its future regulations not inconsistent with the express provisions hereof. All powers and agencies granted in this instrument are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise; and the rights and remedies provided in this instrument are cumulative to remedies provided by law.
15. Borrower's Copy. Borrower acknowledges receipt of one conformed copy of the Note and of this Security Instrument.
16. Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. If all or any part of the Property or any interest in it is leased for a term greater than three (3) years, leased with an option to purchase, sold, or transferred (or if a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred and Borrower is not a natural person) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument.
17. Nondiscrimination. If Borrower intends to sell or rent the Property or any part of it and has obtained Lender's consent to do so (a) neither Borrower nor anyone authorized to act for Borrower, will refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of the Property or will otherwise make unavailable or deny the Property to anyone because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, age, or familial status, and (b) Borrower recognizes as illegal and hereby disclaims and will not comply with or attempt to enforce any restrictive covenants on dwelling relating to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, age or familial status.
18. Sale of Note; Change of Loan Servicer. The Note or a partial interest in the Note (together with this Security Instrument) may be sold one or more times without prior notice to Borrower. A sale may result in a change in the entity (known as the "Loan Servicer") that collects monthly payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument. There also may 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 in accordance with paragraph 13 above and applicable law. The notice will state the name and address of the new Loan Servicer and the address to which payments should be made.
19. Uniform Federal Non-Judicial Foreclosure. If a uniform federal non-judicial foreclosure law applicable to foreclosure of this security instrument is enacted, Lender shall have the option to foreclose this instrument in accordance with such federal procedure.
20. Hazardous Substances. Borrower shall not cause or permit the presence, use, disposal, storage, or release of any hazardous substances on or in the Property. The preceding sentence 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. Borrower shall not do, nor allow anyone else to do, anything affecting the Property that is in violation of any federal, state, or local environmental law or regulation.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of 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 or regulation of which Borrower has actual knowledge. If Borrower learns, or is notified by any governmental or regulatory authority, 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 applicable environmental law and regulations.
As used in this paragraph "hazardous substances" are those substances defined as toxic or hazardous substances by environmental law and the following substances: gasoline, kerosene, other flammable or toxic petroleum products, toxic pesticides and herbicides, volatile solvents, materials containing asbestos or formaldehyde, and radioactive materials. As used in this paragraph, "environmental law" means federal laws and regulations and laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the Property is located that relate to health, safety or environmental protection.
21. Cross Collateralization. Default hereunder shall constitute default under any other real estate security instrument held by Lender and executed or assumed by Borrower, and default under any other such security instrument shall constitute default hereunder.
NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:
22. Default; Lender's Remedies upon Default. Default occurs under this Security Instrument if Borrower breaches any covenant and agreement in this Security Instrument or in the Note.
Upon default, Lender shall give notice of the default to Borrower prior to acceleration if required by applicable law. If the default is not cured within the time stated in the notice, Lender, at its option, may: (a) accelerate the maturity of the Note and declare immediately due and payable the entire amount unpaid under the Note and any other indebtedness which is secured by this Security Instrument; (b) for the account of Borrower, incur and pay reasonable expenses for the repair or maintenance of and take possession of, operate or rent the Property; and (c) foreclose this Security Instrument and sell the property in accordance with the remedies provided in this Security Instrument and under applicable law.
23. Application of Foreclosure Proceeds. The proceeds of foreclosure sale shall be applied in the following order to the payment of: (a) costs and expenses incident to enforcing or complying with the provisions hereof, (b) any prior liens required by law or a competent court to be so paid, (c) the debt evidenced by the note and all indebtedness to Lender secured hereby, (d) inferior liens of record required by law or a competent court to be so paid, (e) at Lender's option, any other indebtedness of Borrower owing to Lender, and (f) any balance to Borrower. At foreclosure or other sale of all or any part of the property, Lender and its agents may bid and purchase as a stranger and may pay Lender's share of the purchase price by crediting such amount on any debts of Borrower owing to Lender, in the order prescribed above.
24. Waivers. Borrower agrees that Lender will not be bound by any present or future State laws, (a) providing for homestead or exemption of the property, (b) prohibiting maintenance of an action for a deficiency judgment or limiting the amount thereof or the time within which such action may be brought, (c) prescribing any other statute of limitations, (d) allowing any right of redemption or possession following any foreclosure sale, or (e) limiting the conditions which Lender may by regulation impose, including the interest rate it may charge, as a condition of approving a transfer of the property to a new Borrower. Borrower expressly waives the benefit of any such State law. Borrower hereby relinquishes, waives, and conveys all rights, inchoate or consummate, of descent, dower, and curtesy. Borrower waives appraisement of the property, or not, at the option of Lender, to be declared when any Petition to Foreclose is filed.
25. Release. Upon payment of all sums security by this Security Instrument, lender shall release this Security Instrument without charge to Borrower. Borrower shall pay any recordation costs unless applicable law provides otherwise.
26. Subrogation. Any of the proceeds of the Note used to take up outstanding liens against all or any part of the Property have been advanced by Lender at Borrower's request and upon Borrower's representation that such amounts are due and are secured by valid liens against the Property. Lender shall be subrogated to any and all rights, superior titles, liens and equities owned or claimed by any owner or holder of any outstanding liens and debts, regardless of whether said liens or debts are acquired by Lender by assignment or are released by the holder thereof upon payment.
27. Non-Merger of Title. If the Property is conveyed to the Lender, title shall not merge (unless Lender elects otherwise) and the lien provided under this Security Instrument shall not be affected or impaired by such conveyance.
28. Additional Documents. Borrower shall, upon request by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender any and all additional documents, instruments and further assurances as may be necessary or proper in the Lender's opinion, to effect the intent of this loan transaction or to provide the Lender with the security required or contemplated for this loan transaction.
29. Replacement and Corrected Documents. If any document material to this loan transaction is lost, misplaced, misstated or inaccurately reflects the true and correct terms and conditions of this loan transaction, upon
request by Lender, Borrower will comply with Lender's request to execute, acknowledge, initial and deliver to Lender any and all documentation Lender deems necessary to replace or correct the lost, misplaced, misstated or inaccurate document(s).
30. Invalidity or Partial Invalidity. If this Security Instrument should be invalid for any purpose for which it is executed, such invalidity for such purpose shall not impair its validity for any other purpose. If any provision of this Instrument or application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity will not affect other provisions or applications of this Instrument which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to that end the provisions hereof are declared to be severable.
31. Riders to this Security Instrument. If one or more riders are executed by Borrower and recorded together with this Security Instrument, the covenants and agreements of each rider shall be incorporated into and shall amend and supplement the covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument as if the rider(s) were a part of this Security Instrument.
