Part 1940, Subpart G, Exhibit M. <br />17. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. In some instances, federal and state law will require Lender to provide Grantor <br />with notice of the right to cure, mediation notices or other notices and may establish time schedules for <br />foreclosure actions. Subject to these limitations, if any, Lender may accelerate the Secured Debt and foreclose <br />this Deed of Trust in a manner provided by law if this Grantor is in default. <br />At the option of Lender, all or any part of the agreed fees and charges, accrued interest and principal shall <br />become immediately due and payable, after giving notice if required by law, upon the occurrence of a default <br />or anytime thereafter. In addition, Lender shalt be entitled to all the remedies provided by law, the Evidence <br />of Debt, other evidences of debt, this Deed of Trust and any related documents including without limitation, <br />the power to sell the Property. <br />If there is a default, Trustee shall, in addition to any other permitted remedy, at the request of the Lender, <br />advertise and sell the Property as a whole or in separate parcels at public auction to the highest bidder for <br />cash, after having fast given such notice of hearing as to commencement of foreclosure proceedings and <br />obtained such findings or leave of court as may be then required by law, and convey absolute title free and <br />clear of all right, title and interest of Grantor at such time and place as Trustee designates. Trustee shall give <br />notice of sale including the time, terms and place of sale and a description of the property to be sold as <br />required by the applicable law in effect at the time of the proposed sale. <br />Upon sale of the Property and to the extent not prohibited by law, Trustee shall make and deliver a deed to <br />the Property sold which conveys absolute title to the purchaser, and after first paying all fees, charges and <br />costs, including the Trustee's commission, shall pay to Lender all moneys advanced for repairs, taxes, <br />insurance, liens, assessments and prior encumbrances and interest thereon, and the principal and interest on <br />the Secured Debt, paying the surplus, if any, to Grantor. The Trustee's commission shall be five percent of <br />the gross proceeds of the sale for a completed foreclosure. Lender may purchase the Property. The recitals in <br />any deed of conveyance shall be prima facie evidence of the facts set forth therein. <br />All remedies are distinct, cumulative and not exclusive, and the Lender is entitled to all remedies provided at <br />law or equity, whether expressly set forth or not. The acceptance by Lender of any sum in payment or partial <br />payment on the Secured Debt after the balance is due or is accelerated or after foreclosure proceedings are <br />filed shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require full and complete cure of any existing default. <br />By not exercising any remedy on Grantor's default, Lender does not waive Lender's right to later consider <br />the event a default if it continues or happens again. <br />18. EXPENSES; ADVANCES ON COVENANTS; ATTORNEYS' FEES; COLLECTION COSTS. Except <br />when prohibited by law, Grantor agrees to pay all of Lender's expenses if Grantor breaches any covenant in <br />this Deed of Trust. Grantor will also pay on demand all of Lender's expenses incurred in collecting, insuring, <br />preserving or protecting the Property or in any inventories, audits, inspections or other examination by <br />Lender in respect to the Property. Grantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in <br />enforcing or protecting Lender's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, <br />attorneys' fees, court costs, and other legal expenses. Once the Secured Debt is fully and finally paid, Lender <br />agrees to release this Deed of Trust and Grantor agrees to pay for any recordation costs. All such amounts <br />are due on demand and will bear interest from the time of the advance at the highest rate in effect, from time <br />to time, as provided in the Evidence of Debt and as permitted by law. <br />19. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. As used in this section, (1) <br />"Environmental Law" means, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation <br />and Liability Act (CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), all other federal, state and local laws, regulations, <br />ordinances, court orders, attorney general opinions of interpretive letters concerning the public health, safety, <br />welfare, environment or a hazardous substance; and (2) "Hazardous Substance" means any toxic, radioactive <br />or hazardous material, waste, pollutant or contaminant which has characteristics which render the substance <br />dangerous or potentially dangerous to the public health, safety, welfare or environment. The term includes, <br />without limitation, any substances defined as "hazardous material," "toxic substances," "hazardous waste" or <br />"hazardous substance" under any Environmental Law. Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that, except as <br />previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing: <br />A. No Hazardous Substance has been, is, or will be located, transported, manufactured, treated, refined, <br />or handled by any person on, under or about the Property, except in the ordinary course of business <br />and in strict compliance with all applicable Environmental Law. <br />B. Grantor has not and will not cause, contribute to, or permit the release of any Hazardous Substance on <br />the Property. <br />C. Grantor will immediately notify Lender if (1) a release or threatened release of Hazardous Substance <br />occurs on, under or about the Property or migrates or threatens to migrate from nearby property; or <br />(2) there is a violation of any Environmental Law concerning the Property. In such an event, Grantor <br />will take all necessary remedial action in accordance with Environmental Law. <br />r--~l~, ~ O 1883 Bankers ByHam", IM., SL CIoW, MN frorm AOICO-DT-NC 8/22/2001 <br />page 4 0! 7 <br />
