and repair of the Property.  If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to

from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is
not in default under this Mortgage.  Any proceeds which have not been
disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed
to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any
amount owing to Lender under this Mortgage, then to pay accrued interest, and
the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the
Indebtedness.  If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of
the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests
may appear.
