for giving a change of address that you provide. There will only be
one address for notice under the Loan Agreement. Notice to me will
be considered notice to all persons who are obligated under the Loan
Agreement unless Applicable Law requires a separate notice. I may
give you notice by delivering or mailing it by first class mail to

of all I owe. You will not exercise this option if disallowed by Applicable
Law. If you accelerate, you will give me notice. The notice of acceleration

the Loan Agreement will collect my monthly payment and will comply
with other servicing conditions required by the Loan Agreement or
Applicable Law. In some cases, the company servicing or handling the
Loan Agreement may change even if the Loan Agreement is not sold.
If the company servicing or handling the Loan Agreement is changed,
I will be given written notice of the change. The notice will state
the name and address of the new company, the address to which my payments
should be made, and any other information required by RESPA. Any notice
of acceleration and opportunity to cure under the Loan Agreement will
satisfy the notice and opportunity to address the alleged violation
provisions of this Section. No agreement between you and me or any
third party will limit your ability to comply with your duties under
the Loan Agreement and the Applicable Law. You and I are limiting
all agreements so that all current or future interest or fees in connection
with this Loan Agreement will not be greater than the highest amount
allowed by Applicable Law. You and I intend to conform the Loan Agreement
to the provisions of Applicable Law. If any part of the Loan Agreement
is in conflict with the Applicable Law, then that part will be corrected
or removed. This correction will be automatic and will not require
any amendment or new document. Your right to correct any violation
will survive my paying off the Loan Agreement. My right to correct
will override any conflicting provision of the Loan Agreement. Your
right to comply as provided in this Section will survive the payoff
of the Loan Agreement. The provisions of this Section will supersede
any inconsistent provision of the Loan Agreement."

management of the Property and collection of rents, including receiver's
fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, and reasonable attorneys' fees,
and then to the sums secured by this Security Document. You and the
receiver will be liable to account only for rents received."
