HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AS TRUSTEE FOR MASTR REPERFORMING LOAN TRUST 2006-2 v. ANGELA M EDWARDS

Filed: Mar 13, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: Angela M. Edwards didn’t just miss a mortgage payment. She missed one. One. Single. Payment. Due October 1, 2025. And now, in March 2026, a bank is trying to take her house over a debt that’s somehow ballooned to $108,000.97 — nearly triple the original loan — while the Oklahoma Tax Commission, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a shadowy corporate entity known only as “Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.” (yes, that’s a real thing) all circle like bureaucratic vultures, each staking their own claim on her modest home in Midwest Heights, Oklahoma City. This isn’t just a foreclosure. This is a full-blown real estate bloodbath disguised as a civil court filing.

So who is Angela M. Edwards? A single woman, according to the court documents, who bought her home back in 2002 — yes, 2002 — with a $47,957 mortgage from a company called Mortgage Resource Group, LLC. That’s right: she borrowed less than $48,000 to buy her house. At the time, that was a normal, even modest, home loan in Oklahoma. She signed the papers, the county treasurer got his mortgage tax, and for over two decades, she presumably lived in her little slice of Midwest Heights, paying her bills, maybe planting some flowers, definitely not showing up on anyone’s legal radar. The original note even says she promised to pay just $303.12 a month. That’s less than most people’s car payments today.

But somewhere between 2002 and 2025, the machine took over. That original loan wasn’t just a loan — it was a financial Frankenstein. First, it was sold. Then resold. Then bundled into a “MASTR Reperforming Loan Trust 2006-2” — which sounds like a secret government program, but is actually just Wall Street’s way of repackaging old, struggling mortgages into new financial products that can be traded like baseball cards. The current plaintiff, HSBC Bank USA, isn’t even the original lender. It’s just the trustee — the legal placeholder — for a trust that owns the debt. Think of it like a zombie bank: the original lender is long gone, but the debt lives on, animated by lawyers and spreadsheets.

And the debt grew. How? Well, interest. The original rate was 6.5%. But somewhere along the line, that climbed to 7.125%. Not insane by credit card standards, but over 20+ years on a compounding mortgage? That’s a slow-motion financial avalanche. Then came the modifications — not one, not two, but five recorded loan modifications between 2017 and October 2025, just weeks before the default. Loan modifications usually happen when a borrower is struggling — maybe they lost a job, had a medical emergency, or just fell behind. The bank agrees to tweak the terms to avoid foreclosure. But sometimes, those “helpful” modifications come with strings: fees, capitalized interest, extended timelines. And every time you modify a loan, the balance can creep up. Suddenly, a $48k loan becomes a $108k liability. And then — poof — one missed payment, and the whole thing collapses.

That’s where we are now. Angela missed the October 1, 2025 payment. Just one. And now HSBC — or rather, its army of attorneys at Baer & Timberlake, P.C. — is demanding the full balance, plus interest, plus attorney fees, plus costs, all secured by a mortgage they claim is the “first, prior and superior lien” on the property. They want the court to foreclose, sell the house, and wipe Angela off the map — legally, financially, and literally.

But here’s where it gets deliciously messy. The filing doesn’t just name Angela. It names everyone. The “spouse of Angela M. Edwards” — except she’s listed as a single person. Is this a clerical ghost? A long-lost husband lurking in the legal ether? Then there’s “occupant(s) of the premises” — because, hey, maybe someone else is living there now, squatting, renting, or just crashing on the couch. Then the Oklahoma Tax Commission — not once, not twice, but 14 times — claiming potential tax warrants going back years, recorded in various books and pages like some dystopian property ledger. And HUD — the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — showing up with five recorded mortgages, suggesting this loan may have been FHA-insured at some point, which means the federal government might have guaranteed the loan… and now might be on the hook if the bank loses money.

And let’s not forget MERS — Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. — the mysterious, reviled, and now mostly defunct entity that used to act as a nominee for lenders, allowing them to transfer mortgages without recording every single sale. MERS was basically the ghost titleholder in millions of mortgages during the 2000s housing boom. It’s like the Kevin Bacon of mortgage fraud — six degrees of separation from every foreclosure mess. And here it is, still haunting this case like a digital poltergeist.

So what does HSBC want? They want the court to declare their mortgage the top dog, foreclose on the property, sell it at auction, and use the proceeds to pay off their $108k+ claim — plus interest, fees, and costs. They also want every other claimant — the taxman, the feds, MERS, the phantom spouse — to show their cards or shut up forever. It’s a legal purge: whoever doesn’t respond gets wiped out. And if the house sells for more than the debt? The surplus goes to the court. If it sells for less? Angela could still owe the difference — though that’s not mentioned here.

Now, is $108,000 a lot for a house in Oklahoma City? Depends. The original loan was for $48k in 2002. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $75k today. But home values have risen — Midwest Heights isn’t exactly Beverly Hills, but it’s not a ghost town either. A quick glance at Zillow suggests similar homes in the area are selling for $150k–$200k. So if this house sells for, say, $175k, the bank gets paid, the tax commission might get a slice, HUD might get something, and Angela might walk away with a few thousand bucks — if she’s lucky and the sale goes smoothly. But if the house is in disrepair, or the market dips, or no one bids? She could lose everything and still owe money. And all of this over one missed payment.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t the debt, or the modifications, or even MERS. It’s the timing. The last loan modification was recorded on October 6, 2025five days after the default date of October 1. That’s like a doctor prescribing a new treatment plan after declaring the patient dead. Did Angela try to fix the loan as it was failing? Did the bank approve a modification, then immediately declare a default anyway? Or is this a paperwork glitch? We may never know — but it smells funny.

We’re rooting for Angela. Not because she’s necessarily innocent — we don’t know her side — but because this case is a perfect example of how the mortgage machine grinds people down. A woman buys a home for less than $50k, pays on it for over 20 years, and ends up on the verge of losing it to a faceless trust, a swarm of government agencies, and a debt that doubled while she slept. The system isn’t just broken — it’s weaponized. And if this case teaches us anything, it’s that in America, you don’t own your home. You just rent it from the banks — until they decide they want it back.

NOTE NOVEMBER 27, 2002 [Date] 3725 S.E. 52ND STREET, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA 73135 [Property Address] 1. PARTIES "Borrower" means each person signing at the end of this Note, and the person's successors and assigns. "Lender" means MORTGAGE RESOURCE GROUP, LLC OF OK and its successors and assigns. 2. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY; INTEREST In return for a loan received from Lender, Borrower promises to pay the principal sum of FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN AND 00/100ths Dollars (U.S.$47,957.00), plus interest, to the order of Lender. Interest will be charged on unpaid principal, from the date of disbursement of the loan proceeds by Lender, at the rate of SIX AND ONE-HALF percent (6.500%) per year until the full amount of principal has been paid. 3. PROMISE TO PAY SECURED Borrower's promise to pay is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument that is dated the same date as this Note and called the "Security Instrument." The Security Instrument protects the Lender from losses which might result if Borrower defaults under this Note. 4. MANNER OF PAYMENT (A) Time Borrower shall make a payment of principal and interest to Lender on the first day of each month beginning on JANUARY 1, 2003. Any principal and interest remaining on the first day of DECEMBER, 2032, will be due on that date, which is called the maturity date. (B) Place Payment shall be made at 222 EAST SHERIDAN, SUITE 2, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA 73104 or at such place as Lender may designate in writing by notice to Borrower. (C) Amount Each monthly payment of principal and interest will be in the amount of U.S. $303.12. This amount will be part of a larger monthly payment required by the Security Instrument, that shall be applied to principal, interest and other items in the order described in the Security Instrument. (D) Allonge to this note for payment adjustments If an allonge providing for payment adjustments is executed by Borrower together with this Note, the covenants of the allonge shall be incorporated into and shall amend and supplement the covenants of this Note as if the allonge were a part of this Note. [Check applicable box.] [ ] Graduated Payment Allonge [ ] Other [Specify] [ ] Growing Equity Allonge 5. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY Borrower has the right to pay the debt evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part, without charge or penalty, on the first day of any month. Lender shall accept prepayment on other days provided that borrower pays interest on the amount prepaid for the remainder of the month to the extent required by Lender and permitted by regulations of the Secretary. If Borrower makes a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of the monthly payment unless Lender agrees in writing to those changes. 6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY (A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments If Lender has not received the full monthly payment required by the Security Instrument, as described in Paragraph 4(C) of this Note, by the end of fifteen calendar days after the payment is due, Lender may collect a late charge in the amount of FOUR percent (4.000%) of the overdue amount of each payment. (B) Default If Borrower defaults by failing to pay in full any monthly payment, then Lender may, except as limited by regulations of the Secretary in the case of payment defaults, require immediate payment in full of the principal balance remaining due and all accrued interest. Lender may choose not to exercise this option without waiving its rights in the event of any subsequent default. In many circumstances regulations issued by the Secretary will limit Lender's rights to require immediate payment in full in the case of payment defaults. This Note does not authorize acceleration when not permitted by HUD regulations. As used in this Note, "Secretary" means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or his or her designee. (C) Payment of Costs and Expenses If Lender has required immediate payment in full, as described above, Lender may require Borrower to pay costs and expenses including reasonable and customary attorney's fees for enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Such fees and costs shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the same rate as the principal of this Note. 7. WAIVERS Borrower 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 Lender to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of dishonor" means the right to require Lender to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid. 8. GIVING OF NOTICES Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to Borrower under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to Borrower at the property address above or at a different address if Borrower has given Lender a notice of Borrower's different address. Any notice that must be given to Lender under this Note will be given by first class mail to Lender at the address stated in Paragraph 4(B) or at a different address if Borrower is given a notice of that different address. 9. 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. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. Lender may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all signatories together. Any one person signing this Note may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note. BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and covenants contained in this Note.

Lender may, at any time, collect and hold amounts for Escrow Items in an aggregate amount not to exceed the maximum amount that may be required for Borrower's escrow account under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, 12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. and implementing regulations, 24 CFR Part 3500, as they may be amended from time to time ("RESPA"), except that the cushion of reserve permitted by RESPA for unanticipated disbursements or disbursements before the Borrower's payments are available in the account may not be based on amounts due for the mortgage insurance premium. If the amounts held by Lender for Escrow Items exceed the amounts permitted to be held by RESPA, Lender shall account to Borrower for the excess funds as required by RESPA. If the amounts of funds held by Lender at any time are not sufficient to pay the Escrow Items when due, Lender may notify the Borrower and require Borrower to make up the shortage as permitted by RESPA. The Escrow Funds are pledged as additional security for all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower tenders to Lender the full payment of all such sums, Borrower's account shall be credited with the balance remaining for all installment items (a), (b), and (c) and any mortgage insurance premium installment that Lender has not become obligated to pay to the Secretary, and Lender shall promptly refund any excess funds to Borrower. Immediately prior to a foreclosure sale of the Property or its acquisition by Lender, Borrower's account shall be credited with any balance remaining for all installments for items (a), (b), and (c). 3. Application of Payments. All payments under Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be applied by Lender as follows: First, to the mortgage insurance premium to be paid by Lender to the Secretary or to the monthly charge by the Secretary instead of the monthly mortgage insurance premium; Second, to any taxes, special assessments, leasehold payments or ground rents, and fire, flood and other hazard insurance premiums, as required; Third, to interest due under the Note; Fourth, to amortization of the principal of the Note; and Fifth, to late charges due under the Note. 4. Fire, Flood and Other Hazard Insurance. Borrower shall insure all improvements on the Property, whether now in existence or subsequently erected, against any hazards, casualties, and contingencies, including fire, for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts and for the periods that Lender requires. Borrower shall also insure all improvements on the Property, whether now in existence or subsequently erected, against loss by floods to the extent required by the Secretary. All insurance shall be carried with companies approved by Lender. The insurance policies and any renewals shall be held by Lender and shall include loss payable clauses in favor of, and in a form acceptable to, Lender. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give Lender immediate notice by mail. Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Lender, instead of to Borrower and to Lender jointly. All or any part of the insurance proceeds may be applied by Lender, at its option, either (a) to the reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument, first to any delinquent amounts applied in the order in Paragraph 3, and then to prepayment of principal, or (b) to the restoration or repair of the damaged Property. Any application of the proceeds to the principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly payments which are referred to in Paragraph 2, or change the amount of such payments. Any excess insurance proceeds over an amount required to pay all outstanding indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument shall be paid to the entity legally entitled thereto. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property that extinguishes the indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to insurance policies in force shall pass to the purchaser. 5. Occupancy, Preservation, Maintenance and Protection of the Property; Borrower's Loan Application; Leaseholds. Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within sixty days after the execution of this Security Instrument (or within sixty days of a later sale or transfer of the Property) and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender determines that requirement will cause undue hardship for Borrower, or unless extenuating circumstances exist beyond Borrower's control. Borrower shall notify Lender of any extenuating circumstances. Borrower shall not commit waste or destroy, damage or substantially change the Property or allow the Property to deteriorate, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lender may inspect the Property if the Property is vacant or abandoned or the loan is in default. Lender may take reasonable action to protect and preserve such vacant or abandoned Property. Borrower shall also be in default if Borrower, during the loan application process, gave materially false or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with any material information) in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as a principal residence. If this Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Borrower shall comply with the provisions of the lease. If Borrower acquires fee title to the Property, the leasehold and fee title shall not be merged unless Lender agrees to the merger in writing. 6. 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 place of condemnation, are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender to the extent of the full amount of the indebtedness that remains unpaid under the Note and this Security Instrument. Lender shall apply such proceeds to the reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument, first to any delinquent amounts applied in the order provided in Paragraph 3, and then to prepayment of principal. Any application of the proceeds to the principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly payments, which are referred to in Paragraph 2, or change the amount of such payments. Any excess proceeds over an amount required to pay all outstanding indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument shall be paid to the entity legally entitled thereto. 7. Charges to Borrower and Protection of Lender's Rights in the Property. Borrower shall pay all governmental or municipal charges, fines and impositions that are not included in Paragraph 2. Borrower shall pay these obligations on time directly to the entity which is owed the payment. If failure to pay would adversely affect Lender's interest in the Property, upon Lender's request Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender receipts evidencing these payments. If Borrower fails to make these payments or the payments required by Paragraph 2, or fails to perform any other 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, for condemnation or to enforce laws or regulations), then Lender may do and pay whatever is necessary to protect the value of the property and Lender's rights in the Property, including payment of taxes, hazard insurance and other items mentioned in Paragraph 2. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Paragraph shall become an additional debt of Borrower and be secured by this Security Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the Note rate, and at the option of Lender shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument unless Borrower: (a) agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by the lien in a manner acceptable to Lender; (b) contests in good faith the lien by, or defends against enforcement of the lien in, legal proceedings which in the Lender's opinion 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 10 days of the giving of notice. 8. Fees. Lender may collect fees and charges authorized by the Secretary. 9. Grounds for Acceleration of Debt. (a) Default. Lender may, except as limited by regulations issued by the Secretary in the case of payment defaults, require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument if: (i) Borrower defaults by failing to pay in full any monthly payment required by this Security Instrument prior to or on the due date of the next monthly payment, or (ii) Borrower defaults by failing, for a period of thirty days, to perform any other obligations contained in this Security Instrument. (b) Sale Without Credit Approval. Lender shall, if permitted by applicable law (including section 341(d) of the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, 12 U.S.C. 1701j-3(d)) and with the prior approval of the Secretary, require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument if: (i) All or part of the Property, or a beneficial interest in a trust owning all or part of the Property, is sold or otherwise transferred (other than by devise or descent), and (ii) The Property is not occupied by the purchaser or grantee as his or her principal residence, or the purchaser or grantee does so occupy the Property, but his or her credit has not been approved in accordance with the requirements of the Secretary. (c) No Waiver. If circumstances occur that would permit Lender to require immediate payment in full, but Lender does not require such payments, Lender does not waive its rights with respect to subsequent events. (d) Regulations of HUD Secretary. In many circumstances regulations issued by the Secretary will limit Lender's rights, in the case of payment defaults, to require immediate payment in full and foreclose if not paid. This Security Instrument does not authorize acceleration or foreclosure if not permitted by regulations of the Secretary. (e) Mortgage Not Insured. Borrower agrees that if this Security Instrument and the Note are not determined to be eligible for insurance under the National Housing Act within 60 days from the date hereof, Lender may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. A written statement of any authorized agent of the Secretary dated subsequent to 60 days from the date hereof, declining to insure this Security Instrument and the Note, shall be deemed conclusive proof of such ineligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this option may not be exercised by Lender when the unavailability of insurance is solely due to Lender's failure to remit a mortgage insurance premium to the Secretary. 10. Reinstatement. Borrower has a right to be reinstated if Lender has required immediate payment in full because of Borrower's failure to pay an amount due under the Note or this Security Instrument. This right applies even after foreclosure proceedings are instituted. To reinstate the Security Instrument, Borrower shall tender in a lump sum all amounts required to bring Borrower's account current including, to the extent they are obligations of Borrower under this Security Instrument, foreclosure costs and Exhibit B reasonable and customary attorney's fees and expenses properly associated with the foreclosure proceeding. Upon reinstatement by Borrower, this Security Instrument and the obligations that it secures shall remain in effect as if Lender had not required immediate payment in full. However, Lender is not required to permit reinstatement if: (i) Lender has accepted reinstatement after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings within two years immediately preceding the commencement of a current foreclosure proceeding, (ii) reinstatement will preclude foreclosure on different grounds in the future, or (iii) reinstatement will adversely affect the priority of the lien created by this Security Instrument. 11. Borrower Not Released; Forbearance By Lender Not a Waiver. Extension of the time of payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Security Instrument granted by Lender to any successor in interest of Borrower shall not operate to release the liability of the original Borrower or Borrower's successor 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 9(b). 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 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 and the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In the event that any provision or clause of this Security Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Security Instrument or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision. To this end the provisions of this Security Instrument and the Note are declared to be severable. 15. Borrower's Copy. Borrower shall be given one conformed copy of the Note and of this Security Instrument. 16. Hazardous Substances. Borrower shall not cause or permit the presence, use, disposal, storage, or release of any Hazardous Substances on or in the Property. Borrower shall not do, nor allow anyone else to do, anything affecting the Property that is in violation of any Environmental Law. The preceding two sentences 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 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 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 Substances affecting the Property is necessary, Borrower shall promptly take all necessary remedial actions in accordance with Environmental Law. As used in this paragraph 16, "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 16, "Environmental Law" means federal laws and laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located that relate to health, safety or environmental protection. NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows: 17. Assignment of Rents. Borrower unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all the rents and revenues of the Property. Borrower authorizes Lender or Lender's agents to collect the rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay the rents to Lender or Lender's agents. However, prior to Lender's notice to Borrower of Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement in the Security Instrument, Borrower shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Borrower. This assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. If Lender gives notice of breach to Borrower: (a) all rents received by Borrower shall be held by Borrower as trustee for benefit of Lender only, to be applied to the sums secured by the Security Instrument; (b) Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all of the rents of the Property; and (c) each tenant of the Property shall pay all rents due and unpaid to Lender or Lender's agents on Lender's written demand to the tenant. Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of the rents and has not and will not perform any act that would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Paragraph 17. Lender shall not be required to enter upon, take control of or maintain the Property before or after giving notice of breach to Borrower. However, Lender or a judicably appointed receiver may do so at any time there is a breach. Any application of rents shall not cure or waive any default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender. This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate when the debt secured by the Security Instrument is paid in full. 18. Foreclosure Procedure. If Lender requires immediate payment in full under Paragraph 9, Lender may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this paragraph 18, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and costs of title evidence. If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender shall give notice in the manner required by applicable law to Borrower and any other persons prescribed by applicable law. Lender shall also publish the notice of sale, and the Property shall be sold, as prescribed by applicable law. Lender or its designee may purchase the Property at any sale. The proceeds of the sale shall be applied in the manner prescribed by applicable law. If the Lender's interest in this Security Instrument is held by the Secretary and the Secretary requires immediate payment in full under Paragraph 9, the Secretary may invoke the nonjudicial power of sale provided in the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994 ("Act") (12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq.) by requesting a foreclosure commissioner designated under the Act to commence foreclosure and to sell the Property as provided in the Act. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall deprive the Secretary of any rights otherwise available to a Lender under this Paragraph 18 or applicable law. 19. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured 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. 20. Waiver of Appraisement. Appraisement of the Property is waived or not waived at Lender's option, which shall be exercised before or at the time judgment is entered in any foreclosure. 21. Assumption Fee. If there is an assumption of this loan, Lender may charge an assumption fee of U.S. $__________. 22. 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 such 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. [Check applicable box(es)] ☐ Condominium Rider ☐ Planned Unit Development Rider ☐ Growing Equity Rider ☐ Graduated Payment Rider ☐ Adjustable Rate Rider ☐ Other [Specify] NOTICE TO BORROWER A power of sale has been granted in this Security Instrument. A power of sale may allow the Lender to take the Property and sell it without going to court in a foreclosure action upon default by Borrower under this Security Instrument. BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and covenants contained in this Security Instrument and in any rider(s) executed by Borrower and recorded with it.
