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. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of and interest on, the debt evidenced by the Note. 2.” Payment of Property Charges.

Fire, Flood and Other Hazard Insurance.

This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts, to the extent and for the periods required by Lender or the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ("Secretary").

Insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the damaged Property, 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 first to the reduction of any indebtedness under a Sccond Note and Second Sccurity Instrument held by the Secretary on the Property and then to the reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument.

Borrower shall not commit waste or destroy, damage or substantially change the Property or allow the Property to deteriorate, reasonable wear and tear excepted. 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.

Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument in the manner provided in Paragraph 12(c). If Borrower fails to make these payments or the property charges 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, To protect Lender's security in the Property, Lender shall advance and charge to Borrower all amounts due to the Secretary for the Mortgage Insurance Premium ("MIP") as defined in the Loan Agreement as well as all sums due to the loan servicer for servicing activities ("Servicing Fee") as defined in the Loan Agreement.

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 without notice to the Borrower. 7. 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 shall be paid to Lender.

(b) Due and Payable with Secretary Approval. Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, upon approval by an authorized representative of the Secretary, if: (i) The Property ceases to be the principal residence of a Borrower for reasons other than death and the Property is not the principal residence of at least one other Borrower; or Iinois 1 MERS Security Instrument © Bay Docs, Inc. 06/10 Page 3 ee (i) For a period of longer than twelve (12) consecutive months, a Borrower fails to physically occupy the Property because of physical or mental illness and the Property is not the principal residence of at least one other Borrower; or (ii) An obligation of the Borrower under this Security Instrument is not performed. (©) Notice to Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender whenever any of the events listed in Paragraph 9(a)(ii) and (b) occur. (d) Notice to Secretary and Borrower. Lender shall notify the Secretary and Borrower whenever the loan becomes due and payable under Paragraph 9(a)(ii) and (b). Lender shall not have the right to commence foreclosure until Borrower has had thirty (30) days after notice to either: (i) Correct the matter which resulted in the Security Instrument coming due and payable; or ii) Pay the balance in full; or (iii) Sell the Property for the lesser of the balance or 95% of the appraised value and apply the net proceeds of the sale toward the balance; or (iv) Provide the Lender with a deed in lieu of foreclosure. (e) Trusts. Conveyance of a Borrower's interest in the Property to a trust which meets the requirements of the Secretary, or conveyance of a trust's interests in the Property to a Borrower, shall not be considered a conveyance for purposes of this Paragraph 9. A trust shall not be considered an occupant or be considered as having a principal residence for purposes of this Paragraph 9. (f) Mortgage Not Insured. Borrower agrees that should this Security Instrument and the Note not be eligible for insurance under the National Housing Act within eight (8) months 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 eight (8) months 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. No Deficiency Judgments. Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the debt secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may enforce the debt only through sale of the Property. Lender shall not be permitted to obtain a deficiency judgment against Borrower if the Security Instrument is foreclosed. If this Security Instrument is assigned to the Secretary upon demand by the Secretary, Borrower shall not be liable for any difference between the mortgage insurance benefits paid to Lender and the outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, owed by Borrower at the time of the assignment. 11. Reinstatement. Borrower has a right to be reinstated if Lender has required immediate payment in full. This right applics even after foreclosure proceedings are instituted. To reinstate this Security Instrument, Borrower shall correct the condition which resulted in the requirement for immediate payment in full. Foreclosure costs and reasonable and customary attorneys! fees and expenses properly associated with a foreclosure proceeding shall be added to the principal balance. 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 i i) Lender has accepted reinstatement after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings within two (2) 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 Security Instrument. 12. First Lien Status Illinois 1 MERS Security Instrument © Bay Docs, Inc. 06/10 Page 4 (a) Modification. Borrower agrees to extend this Security Instrument in accordance with this Paragraph 12(a). If Lender determines that the original lien status of the Security Instrument is jeopardized under state jaw (including but not limited to situations where the amount secured by the Security Instrument equals or exceeds the maximum principal amount stated or the maximum period under which loan advances retain the same lien priority initially granted to loan advances has expired) and state law permits the original lien status to be maintained for future loan advances through the execution and recordation of one or more documents, then Lender shall obtain title evidence at Borrower's expense. If the title evidence indicates that the Property is not encumbered by any liens (except this Security Instrument, the Second Security Instrument described in Paragraph 13(a) and any subordinate liens that the Lender determines will also be subordinate to any future loan advances), Lender shall request the Borrower to execute any documents necessary to protect the priority of the lien status of future loan advances. Borrower agrees to execute such documents. If state law does not permit the original lien status to be extended to future loan advances, Borrower will be deemed to have failed to have performed an obligation under this Security Instrument. (b) Tax Deferral Programs. Borrower shall not participate in a real estate tax deferral program, if any liens created by the tax deferral are not subordinate to this Security Instrument. (c) Prior Liens. 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 forfeiture of any part of the Property; or (c) secures from the holder of the lien an agreement satisfactory to Lender subordinating the lien to all amounts secured by 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. 13. Relationship to Second Security Instrument. (a) Second Security Instrument. In order to secure payments which the Secretary may make to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 255(i)(1)(A) of the National Housing Act and the Loan Agreement, the Secretary has required Borrower to execute a Second Note and a Second Secutity Instrument on the Property. (b) Relationship of First and Second Security Instruments. Payments made by the Secretary shall not be included in the debt under the Note unless: (i) This Security Instrument is assigned to the Secretary; or (ii) The Secretary accepts reimbursement by the Lender for all payments made by the Secretary. If the circumstances described in (i) or (ii) occur, then all payments by the Secretary, including interest on the payments but excluding late charges paid by the Secretary, shall be included in the debt under the Note. (©) Effect on Borrower. Where there is no assignment or reimbursement as described in (b)(i) or (ii) and the Secretary makes payments to Borrower, then Borrower shall not: ()) Be required to pay amounts owed under the Note, or pay any rents and revenues of the Property under Paragraph 19 to Lender or a receiver of the Property, until the Secretary has required payment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Second Note; or (ii) Be obligated to pay interest or shared appreciation under the Note at any time, whether accrued before or after the payments by the Secretary, and whether or not accrued interest has been included in the principal balance under the Note.

Borrower shall be given one conformed copy of the Note and this Security Instrument. NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows: 19. 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 this 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 agent 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 19, 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 judicially 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 this Security Instrument is paid in full. 20. Foreclosure Procedure, If Lender requires immediate payment in full under Paragraph 9, Lender may foreclose this Security Instrument by judicial proceeding, Lender shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing the rem provided in this Paragraph 20, including, but not li ited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence. Mlinois 1 MERS Security Instrument © Bay Does, Inc. 06/10 Page 6 1° 21. Lien Priority. The full amount secured by this Security Instrument shall have the same priority over any other liens on the Property as if the full amount had been disbursed on the date the initial disbursement was made, regardless of the actual date of any disbursement. The amount secured by this Security Instrument shall include all direct payments by Lender to Borrower and all other loan advances permitted by this Security Instrument for any purpose. This lien priority shall apply notwithstanding any State constitution, law or regulation, except that this lien priority shall not affect the priority of any liens for unpaid State or local governmental unit special assessments or taxes. 22. Adjustable Rate Feature. Under the Note, the initial stated interest rate of Three and 215/1000's percent (3.215%) which accrues on the unpaid principal balance ("Initial Interest Rate") is subject to change, as described below. When the interest rate changes, the new adjusted interest rate will be applied to the total outstanding principal balance. Each adjustment to the interest rate will be based upon the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as made available in the "Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal (“Index”) plus a margin... If the Index is no longer available, Lender will be required to use any index prescribed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The new index will have a historical movement substantially similar to the original index, and the new index and margin will result in an annual percentage rate that is substantially similar to the rate in effect at the time the original index becomes unavailable. Lender will perform the calculations described below to determine the new adjusted interest rate. The interest rate may change on the first day of March, 2013, and on __ that day of each succeeding year, X__ the first day of each succeeding month (“Change Date”) until the loan is repaid in full. The value of the Index will be determined, using the most recent Index figure available thirty (30) days before the Change Date ("Current Index"). Before each Change Date, the new interest rate will be calculated by adding a margin to the Current Index. The sum of the margin plus the Current Index, subject to the rate limitations below, will be called the "Calculated Interest Rate" for each Change Date. The Calculated Interest Rate will be compared to the interest rate in effect immediately prior to the current Change Date (the "Existing Interest Rate”). Annually Adjusting Variable Rate Feature - The Calculated Interest Rate will never increase or decrease by more than two percentage points (2.0%) on any single Change Date. The interest rate will never be more than five percentage points (5.0%) higher or lower than the Initial Interest Rate stated in Paragraph 2 of the Note. Monthly Adjusting Variable Rate Feature - The Calculated Interest Rate will never increase above 13.215%. The Calculated Interest Rate will be adjusted if necessary to comply with the rate limitation(s) described above and will be in effect until the next Change Date. At any Change Date, if the Calculated Interest Rate equals the Existing Interest Rate, the interest rate will not change. 23. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall release this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay any recordation costs. Lender may charge Borrower a fee for releasing this Security Instrument, but only if the fee is paid to a third party for services rendered and the charging of the fee is permitted under applicable law. 24.
