Lender may exercise its rights under Section 9 and pay such amount and Borrower shall then be obligated under
Section 9 to repay to Lender any such amount. Lender may revoke the waiver as to any or all Escrow Items at any
time by a notice given in accordance with Section 15 and, upon such revocation, Borrower shall pay to Lender afl
Funds, and in such amounts, that are then required under this Section 3.

the Escrow Items, unless Lender pays Borrower interest on the Funds and Applicable Law permits Lender to make
such a charge. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on the Funds,
Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. Borrower and Lender ean agree

annual accounting of the Funds as required by RESPA.

the excess funds in accordance with RESPA. If there is a shortage of Funds held in escrow, as defined under

Lender, but only so long as Borrower is performing such agreement; (b) contests the lien in good faith by, or defends

If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain insurance coverage,
at Lender’s option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to purchase any particular type or amount
of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover Lender, but might or might not protect Borrower, Borrower’s
equity in the Property, or the contents ofthe Property, against any risk, hazard or liability and might provide greater
or lesser coverage than was previously in effect. Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so
obtained might significantly exceed the cost of insurance thet Borrower could have obtained. Any amounts
disbursed by Lender under this Section 5 shall become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security
Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable,
with such interest, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment.

disapprove such policies, shall include a standard mortgage clause, and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an
additional loss payee. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewal certificates. If Lender requires,
Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices. If Borrower obtains any
form of insurance coverage, not otherwise required by Lender, for damage to, or destruction of, the Property, such
policy shall include a standard mortgage clause and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss
payee,
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, any
insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying insurance was required by Lender, shall be applied to restoration
or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender’s security is not lessened.
During such repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to hold such insurance proceeds until Lender
has had an opportunity to inspect such Property to ensure the work has been completed to Lender’s satisfaction,
provided that such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and
restoration in a single payment or in a series of progress payments as the work is completed. Unless an agreement is
made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such insurance proceeds, Lender shall not be
required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such proceeds, Fees for public adjusters, or other third parties,

designated payments that were due when the insurance coverage ceased to be in effect. Lender will accept, use and
retain these payments as a non-refundable loss reserve in lien of Mortgage Insurance. Such loss reserve shall be
non-refundable, notwithstanding the fact that the Loan is ultimately paid in full, and Lender shail not be required to
pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such loss reserve. Lender can no longer require loss reserve payments if
Mortgage Insurance coverage (in the amount and for the period that Lender requires) provided by an insurer selected
by Lender again becomes available, is obtained, and Lender requires separately designated payments toward the
premiums for Mortgage Insurance. If Lender required Mortgage Insurance as a condition of making the Loan and
Borrower was required to make separately designated payments toward the premiums for Mortgage Insurance,
Borrower shall pay the premiums required to maintain Mortgage Insurance in effect, or to provide a non-refundable
loss reserve, until Lender’s requirement for Mortgage Insurance ends in accordance with any written agreement
between Borrower and Lender providing for such termination or until termination is required by Applicable Law.
Nothing in this Section 10 affects Borrower's obligation to pay interest at the rate provided in the Note.
Mortgage Insurance reimburses Lender (or any entity that purchases the Note) for certain losses it may
incur if Borrower does not repay the Loan as agreed. Borrower is not a party to the Mortgage Insurance.
Morigage insurers evaluate their total risk on all such insurance in force from time to time, and may enter
into agreements with other parties that share or modify their risk, or reduce losses. These agreements are on terms
and conditions thet are satisfactory to the mortgage insurer and the other party (or parties) to these agreements.
‘These agreements may require the mortgage insurer to make payments using any source of funds that the mortgage
insurer may have available (which may inclade funds obtained from Mortgage Insurance premiums).
As a result of these agreements, Lender, any purchaser ofthe Note, another insurer, any reinsurer, any otaer
entity, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing, may receive (directly or indirectly) amounts that derive from (or
might be characterized as) a portion of Borrower's payments for Mortgage Insurance, in exchange for sharing or
modifying the mortgage insurer’s risk, or reducing losses. If such agreement provides that an affiliate of Lender
takes a share of the insurer’s risk in exchange for a share of the premiums paid to the insurer, the arrangement is
often termed “captive reinsurance.” Further:
{a) Any such agreements will not affect the amounts that Borrower has agreed to pay for Mortgage
Insurance, or any other terms of the Loan, Such agreements will not increase the amount Borrower will owe
for Mortgage Insurance, and they will not entitle Borrower to any refund.
(b) Any such agreements will not affect the rights Borrower has — if any ~ with respect to the
Mortgage Insurance under the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 or any other law. These rights may
include the right to receive certain disclosures, to request and obtain cancellation of the Mortgage Insurance,
to have the Mortgage Insurance ter
