Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

10.BORROWER NOT RELEASED.

Lender shall provide Borrower with a copy of the test results.

Borrower shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the Property.  Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceedings, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's interests in the Property are not jeopardized.  Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

Any forebearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder.  The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

13.REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All remedies provided in this Mortgage are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage, the Note or the Agreement, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

If all or any part of the property or any interest therein is sold, conveyed or otherwise transferred by Borrower (such transfer shall include the sale, conveyance, or other transfer of the beneficial interest of a trust or estate holding title, now or in the future, to the Property), Borrower will so inform Lender, and Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable.

17.ACCELERATION; REMEDIES.  In the event Borrower fails to perform or cause to be performed any covenant or agreement or any warranties are untrue or incorrect under this Mortgage, the Note or the Agreement, including the covenants to pay when due any sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceeding.

18.ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.  As additional security hereunder, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all the rents, leases, crops, and profits of the Property.

Upon acceleration hereunder or under the Note or abandonment of the Property, and at any time prior to the expiration of any period of redemption following judicial sale, Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially appointed receiver, shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property including those past due.  All rents collected by Lender or the receiver shall be applied first to payment of the costs of management of the Property and collection of rents, including, but not limited to, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds and reasonable attorney's fees, and then to the sums secured by this Mortgage.

If any one or more of the following events shall occur (hereinafter called "Event of Default"), that is to say, if; (i) default shall be made in the punctual payment of the Obligations when due; or (ii) any statement, application or supporting financial statement furnished the Lender by the undersigned shall be found to be false in any material respect; or (iii) the undersigned, or any of them, shall become insolvent, or shall be unable to pay his debts as they mature; or shall admit in writing his inability to pay his debts as they mature or shall make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors; or shall file or commence or have filed or commenced against him any proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions, or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the undersigned; or (iv) the undersigned shall fail to observe, perform or comply with any of the covenants, terms or conditions set forth herein or in any loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement or other instrument or agreement heretofore, concurrently herewith or in the future executed by the undersigned in favor of the Lender in connection with any transaction which results in indebtedness of the undersigned to the Lender now existing or hereafter arising, then, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, this Note shall, at the option of the Lender, become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice or protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the undersigned.  

Each of the undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection, legal expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred or paid by the Lender in collecting this Note.  The liability of any of the undersigned shall in nowise be affected or diminished by: a) the Lender's sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, modification, or other disposition of or with respect to any of said Obligations or any Collateral; b) the Lender's acceptance of any security for, or any guarantors of, any of the Obligations; c) Lender's forbearance or indulgence in the collection of any Collateral; d) Lender's failure, neglect, or omission to acquire or preserve an interest in or realize upon any Collateral, or to enforce any lien upon or right of appropriation of any moneys, credits or property owned by any other of the undersigned.

This Note and any other agreement in connection therewith shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.  If any provision or clause of this Note is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions of the Note which can be given effect without the invalid provision, and to this end the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or any other right or power of Lender hereunder.  All rights, powers and remedies of Lender are cumulative.  No waiver by Lender of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.

Every legal assignee of this Note shall have and may exercise all the rights and powers given to Lender in this Note and every notice to or act committed by any one of the undersigned shall constitute a notice to or act committed by all of the undersigned.
