from making such payment, Lender shall pay the Taxes and Premiums as they become due by
their respective due dates.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a Default occurs under any of
the provisions of this Mortgage, Lender shall have the right to apply the balance of any funds
deposited with it, or its designee, accumulated to pay Taxes and Premiums, either as a credit
against the Debt or to the payment of any other charges payable hereunder.
1.6. Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly provide notice to Lender of the
actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings and
shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all pleadings and papers served in connection with
such proceedings. Lender may at its option participate in such proceedings. Notwithstanding
-
any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise,
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note and this Mortgage and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment
therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to the discharge of the Debt.
Lender may apply the entire amount of any such award or payment to the discharge of the Debt
whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its
discretion shall deem proper. If Lender receives and retains such award or payment and
applies it to the Debt, the lien of this Mortgage shall be affected only by a reduction of the
amount of said lien by the amount of such award or payment so received and retained by
Lender. Borrower shall at its expense file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such award
or payment in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected and paid
over to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender, in the name of
Borrower or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any such award or payment and to file and

prosecute such claim or claims. Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not
be necessary in any event, Borrower shall, upon demand of Lender, at the sole cost and
expense of the Borrower, make, execute and deliver any and all assignments and other
instruments sufficient for the purpose of assigning any such award or payment to Lender, free
and clear of any encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. If the Mortgaged Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or payment,
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to
pay the Debt, whichever is less, and Borrower shall pay over to Lender said award or payment
as, if and when Borrower receives same, to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon
such sale, with interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Mortgage shall
have been sought or recovered or denied, and of the attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements
incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of such award or payment. Lender shall not
be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority and shall be entitled to
reserve interest on the amount at the interest rate provided for in the Note.
1.7. Leases and Rents, (a) Mortgagor absolutely and irrevocably assigns to
Lender the Rents, and Mortgagor grants to Lender the right to enter upon and to take
possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents after payment of all necessary
charges and expenses on account to the Debt, reserving only to Mortgagor the conditional right,
as a licensee, to collect, use and enjoy the Rents until an Event of Default shall occur
hereunder. In exercising such conditional right, Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect and
receive such Rent and agrees to use such Rents in payment of principal and interest becoming
due under the Note and in payment of Taxes and Premiums becoming due hereunder, but such
right of Mortgagor may be revoked by Lender upon the occurrence of Event of Default under the
terms of the Note or this Mortgage and thereafter Lender may let the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof and may retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender, in its discretion, shall deem proper , or toward the operation,
maintenance and repair of the Mortgaged Property, and irrespective of whether Lender shall
have commenced a foreclosure of this Mortgage or shall have applied or arranged for the
appointment of a receiver. Lender shall not be obligated to give to Mortgagor prior notice of
such revocation of the right to let and collect the Rents,
(b) In addition to the rights which Lender may have herein, if an Event of any
Default occurs under this Mortgage, Lender, at its option, may require Mortgagor to pay monthly
in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable
rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in
actual possession of Mortgagor. Upon default in any such payment, Mortgagor will vacate and
surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender, or to such receiver, and, in default
thereof, Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Nothing contained in
this paragraph shall be construed as imposing on Lender a
