This Security Instrument will not secure any debt for which a security interest is created in "margin stock" and Lender does not obtain a "statement of purpose," as defined and required by federal law governing securities.

 

C. Sums Advanced. All sums advanced and expenses incurred by Lender under the terms of this Security Instrument.

 

5. PAYMENTS. Grantor agrees that all payments under the Secured Debts will be paid when due and in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debts and this Security Instrument.

A. To make all payments when due and to perform or comply with all covenants.

 

B. To promptly deliver to Lender any notices that Grantor receives from the holder.

 

C. Not to allow any modification or extension of, nor to request any future advances under any note or agreement secured by the lien document without Lender's prior written consent.

 

8. CLAIMS AGAINST TITLE. Grantor will pay all taxes, assessments, liens, encumbrances , lease payments, ground rents, utilities, and other charges relating to the Property when due.

Grantor will not partition or subdivide the Property without Lender's prior written consent.

 

Lender or Lender’s agents may, at Lender's option, enter the Property at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting the Property.

Any inspection of the Property will be entirely for Lender's benefit and Grantor will in no way rely on Lender's inspection.

 

13. AUTHORITY TO PERFORM. If Grantor fails to perform any duty or any of the covenants contained in this Security Instrument, Lender may, without notice, perform or cause them to be performed. Grantor appoints Lender as attorney in fact to sign Grantor's name or pay any amount necessary for performance. Lender's right to perform for Grantor will not create an obligation to perform, and Lender's failure to perform will not preclude Lender from exercising any of Lender's other rights under the law or this Security Instrument. If any construction on the Property is discontinued or not carried on in a reasonable manner, Lender may take all steps necessary to protect Lender's security interest in the Property, including completion of the construction.

Grantor will promptly provide Lender with copies of the Leases and will certify these eases are true and correct copies. The existing Leases will be provided on execution of the Assignment, and all future Leases and any other information with respect to these Leases will be provided immediately after they are executed. Grantor may collect, receive, enjoy and use the Rents so long as Grantor is not in default. Grantor will not collect in advance any Rents due in future lease periods, unless Grantor first obtains Lender’s written consent. Upon default, Grantor will receive any Rents in trust for ender and Grantor will not commingle the Rents with any other funds. When Lender so directs, Grantor will endorse and deliver any payments of Rents from the Property to Lender. Amounts collected will be applied at ender's discretion to the Secured Debts, the costs of managing, protecting and preserving the Property, and other necessary expenses. Grantor agrees that this Security Instrument is immediately effective between Grantor and Lender and effective as to third parties on the recording of this Assignment.

16. REMEDIES. On or after default, Lender may use any and all remedies Lender has under state or federal law or in any document relating to the Secured Debts, including, without limitation, the power to sell the Property.

Under this special or limited warranty deed, Trustee will covenant that Trustee has not caused or allowed a lien or an encumbrance to burden the Property and that Trustee will specially warrant and defend the Property's title of the purchaser or purchasers at the sale against all lawful claims and demand of all persons claiming by, through or under Trustee. The recitals in any deed of conveyance will be prima facie evidence of the facts set forth therein.

 

All remedies are distinct, cumulative and not exclusive, and the Lender is entitled to all remedies provided at law or equity, whether or not expressly set forth. The acceptance by Lender of any sum in payment or partial payment on the Secured Debts after the balance is due or is accelerated or after foreclosure proceedings are filed will not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require full and complete cure of any existing default. By not exercising any remedy, Lender does not waive Lender's right to later consider the event a default if it continues or happens again.

If not paid immediately, these expenses will bear interest from the date of payment until paid in full at the highest interest rate in effect as provided for in the terms of the Secured Debts.

CLOSING ATTORNEY'S AFFIDAVIT

 

Before the undersigned attesting officer personally appeared the undersigned closing attorney, who having been first duly sworn according to law states under oath as follows:

 

In closing the above loan, but prior to the execution of the Deed to Secure Debt and "Waiver of Borrower's Rights" by the Borrower(s), I reviewed with and explained to the Borrower(s) the terms and provisions of the Deed to Secure Debt and particularly the provisions thereof authorizing the Lender to sell the secured property by a nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale, together with the "Waiver of Borrower's Rights" and informed the Borrower(s) of Borrower's rights under the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Constitution of the United States to notice and a judicial hearing prior to such foreclosure in the absence of a knowing, intentional and willing contractual waiver by Borrower(s) of Borrower's rights. After said review with and explanation to Borrower(s), Borrower(s) executed the Deed to Secure Debt and "Waiver of Borrower's Rights."

 

Based on said review with and explanation to the Borrower(s), it is my opinion that Borrower(s) knowingly, intentionally and willingly executed the waiver of Borrower's constitutional rights to notice and judicial hearing prior to any such nonjudicial foreclosure.
