Borrower's Name:
Borrower's Address:
Real Property Subject to the Security Deed:
Subject Property Address:
1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY
In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $ _______________ (this
amount is called "principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The
Lender is ___________
I understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this
Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the
"Note Holder."
2. INTEREST
Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of principal has
been paid. I will pay interest at a yearly
rate of (_______) %. The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay
both before and after any default described in Section 6(B) of this Note.
3. PAYMENTS
(A) Time and Place of Payments
I will pay principal and interest by making payments every month.
I will make my monthly payments on the 1St day of each month beginning on _______________,
20___. I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and
interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. My monthly
payments will be applied to interest before principal. If, on _____________, 20____ , I
still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is
called the "Maturity Date."
(i),I will make my monthly payments at:
or at a different place if required by the Note Holder.
(ii) Amount of Monthly Payments
My monthly payment will be in the amount of:
U.S. $ _______________.
4. B0RROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY
I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A
payment of principal only is known as a "prepayment." When I make a prepayment,
I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so.
I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any prepayment charge.
The Note Holder will use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I
owe under this Note. If I make a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due
date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to
those changes.
5. LOAN CHARGES
If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (i) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment.
6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments
If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of
15 calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder.
The amount of the charge will be 5.0000 % of my overdue payment of principal and interest.
I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment.
(B) Default If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due,
I will be in default.
(C) Notice of Default
If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do
not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, _____ Note Holder may require me to pay
immediately the full amount of principal which has not been paid and all the interest that
I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the
notice is delivered or mailed to me.
(D) No Waiver by Note Holder
Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay
immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so
if 1 am in default at a later time.
(E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses
If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note
Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in
enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses
include, for example, reasonable attorneys' fees.
7. GIVING OF NOTICES
Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me
under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me
at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice
of my different address.
Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by mailing
it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or
at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address.
8. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE
If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.
9. WAIVERS
I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of presentment and notice of dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.
10. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE
This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In
addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of
Trust or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this
Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep
the promises which I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under
what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe
under this Note. Some of those conditions are described as follows:
Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. If all or any part of the
Property or any interest in it is sold or transferred (or if a beneficial interest in
Borrower is sold or transferred and Borrower is not a natural person), without Lender's
prior written consent, Lender may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all
sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by
Lender if exercise is prohibited by federal law as of the date of this Security
Instrument. If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of
acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the
notice is delivered or mailed within which Borrower must pay all sums secured by this
Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this
period, Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without
further notice or demand on Borrower.
WITNESS THE HAND(S) AND SEAL(S) OF THE UNDERSIGNED.
