"Borrower" means each person signing at the end of this Note.

"Lender" means and its successors

and assigns. "Secretary" means the Secretary of Housing and Urban

2.BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY; INTEREST

In return for amounts to be advanced by Lender to or for the benefit

of Borrower under the terms of a Home Equity Conversion Loan Agreement

dated , 19 ("Loan Agreement"), Borrower promises

to pay to the order of Lender a principal amount equal to the sum of all

Loan Advances made under the Loan Agreement with interest. Interest will

be charged on unpaid principal at the rate of percent ( %) per year

until the full amount of principal has been paid. The interest rate may

change in accordance with Paragraph 5 of this Note. Accrued interest shall

be added to the principal balance as a Loan Advance at the end of each

month.

3.PROMISE TO PAY SECURED

Borrower's promise to pay is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or

similar security instrument that is dated the same date as this Note and

called the "Security Instrument." That Security Instrument protects the

Lender from losses which might result if Borrower defaults under this Note.

4.MANNER OF PAYMENT

(A)Time

Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal and accrued

interest to Lender upon receipt of a notice by Lender requiring immediate

payment in full, as provided in Paragraph 7 of this Note.

(B)Place

Payment shall be made at or

any such other place as Lender may designate in writing by notice to

Borrower.

(C)Limitation of Liability

Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the

debt. Lender shall enforce the debt only through sale of the Property

covered by the Security Instrument ("Property"). If this Note is

assigned to the Secretary, the Borrower shall not be liable for any

difference between the mortgage insurance benefits paid to Lender and

the outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, owed by

Borrower at the time of the assignment.

5.INTEREST RATE CHANGES 1/

(A)Change Date

The interest rate may change on the first day of , 19 ,

and on that day of each succeeding year. "Change Date" means each date on

which the interest rate could change.

(B)The Index

Beginning with the first Change Date, the interest rate will be

based on an Index "Index" means the weekly average yield on United

States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one

year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board. "Current Index"

means the most recent Index figure available 30 days before the Change

Date. If the Index (as defined above) is no longer available, Lender

will use as a new Index any index prescribed by the Secretary. Lender

will give Borrower notice of the new Index.

(C)Calculation of Interest Rate Changes

Before each Change Date, Lender will calculate a new interest

rate by adding a margin of percentage points ( %) to the current

Index. /2 Subject to the limits stated in Paragraph 5(D) of this

Note, this amount will be the new interest rate until the next Change

Date.

(D)Limits on Interest Rate Changes

The interest rate will never increase or decrease by more than two percentage points (2.0%) on any single Change Date. The interest

rate will never be more than five percentage points (5.0%) higher or

lower than the initial interest rate stated in Paragraph 2 of this

Note.

(E)Notice of Changes

Lender will give notice to Borrower of any change in the

interest rate. The notice must be given at least 25: days before the new

interest rate takes effect, and must set forth (i) the date of the

notice, (ii) the Change Date, (iii) the old interest rate, (iv) the

new interest rate, (v) the Current Index, (vi) the method of

calculating the adjusted interest rate, and (vii) any other

information which may be required by law from time to time.

(F)Effective Date of Changes

A new interest rate calculated in accordance with paragraphs

5(C) and 5(D) of this Note will become effective on the Change Date, unless

the Change Date occurs less than 25 days after Lender has given the

required notice. If the interest rate calculated in accordance with

Paragraphs 5(C) and 5(D) of this Note decreased, but Lender failed to

give timely notice of the decrease and applied a higher rate than the

rate which should have been stated in a timely notice, then Lender

shall recalculate the principal balance owed under this Note so it

does not reflect any excessive interest.

6.BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY

A Borrower receiving monthly payments under the Loan Agreement has the

right to pay the debt evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part, without

charge or penalty on the first day of any month. Otherwise, a Borrower has

the right to pay the debt evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part,

without charge or penalty after giving Lender two weeks notice. Any amount

of debt prepaid will first be applied to reduce the principal balance of

the Second Note described in Paragraph 11 of this Note and then to reduce

the principal balance of this Note.

All prepayments of the principal balance shall be applied by Lender as

follows:

First, to that portion of the principal balance representing

aggregate payments for mortgage insurance premiums;

Second, to that portion of the principal balance representing

aggregate payments for servicing fees;

Third, to that portion of the principal balance representing

accrued interest due under the Note; and

Fourth, to the remaining portion of the principal balance. A

Borrower may specify whether a prepayment is to be credited to

that portion of the principal balance representing monthly

payments or the line of credit. If Borrower does not designate

which portion of the principal balance is to be prepaid, Lender

shall apply any partial prepayments to an existing line of credit

or create a new line of credit.

principal and accrued interest if:

and no other Borrower retains title to the Property in fee simple

or on a leasehold interest as set forth in 24 CFR 206.45(a).

(B)Other Grounds

Lender may require immediate payment in full of all outstanding

principal and accrued interest, upon approval by an authorized

representative of the Secretary, if:

Borrower for reasons other than death and the Property is not the

principal residence of at least one other Borrower;

(ii) For a period of longer than 12 consecutive months, a

Borrower fails to physically occupy the Property because of

physical or mental illness and the Property is not the principal

residence of at least one other Borrower; or

(iii) An obligation of the Borrower under the Security

Instrument is not performed.

(C)Payment of Costs and Expenses

If Lender has required immediate payment in full as described

above, the debt enforced through sale of the Property may include

costs and expenses, including reasonable and customary attorney's

fees, associated with enforcement of this Note to the extent not

prohibited by applicable law. Such fees and costs shall bear interest

from the date of disbursement at the same rate as the principal of

this Note.

which meets the requirements of the Secretary, or conveyance of a

trust's interests in the Property to a Borrower, shall not be

not be considered an occupant or be considered as having a principal

residence for purposes of this Paragraph.

Borrower waives the rights of presentment and notice of dishonor.

"Presentment" means the right to require Lender to demand payment of

amounts due. "Notice of dishonor" means the right to require Lender to

obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. Lender may

(A)Second Note

Because Borrower will be required to repay amounts which the

255(i)(1)(A) of the National Housing Act and the Loan Agreement, the

Secretary has required Borrower to grant a Second Note to the

due under this Note unless:

principal and accrued interest under the Second Note held by the

Secretary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph

7 of this Note; or

this Note at any time, whether accrued before or after the

contained in this Note. /4, /5
