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 by Lender 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" or the "Second Security Instrument." The
Security Instrument protects the Lender from losses which might result if
Borrower defaults under this Note. Borrower also executed a First Security
Instrument and First Note when the Second Security Instrument and this Note
were executed.
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 the Office of the Housing-FHA
Comptroller, Director of Mortgage Insurance Accounting and Servicing,
451 7th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20410, 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").
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 and the date it was
published, (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
this Note and then to reduce the principal balance of the First 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:
(i) A Borrower dies and the Property is not the principal
residence of at least one surviving Borrower, or

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;

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. Such fees and costs
shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the same rate as
the principal of this Note.
(D)Trusts
Conveyance of a Borrower's interest in the Property to a trust
which meets the requirements of the Secretary, or conveyance of a
trust's interests in the Property to a Borrower, shall not be
considered a conveyance for purposes of this Paragraph. A trust shall
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
give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.
9.GIVING OF NOTICES

10.OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE

obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. Lender may
enforce its rights under this Note only through sale of the Property.
11.RELATIONSHIP TO FIRST NOTE
(A)Second Note
Because Borrower will be required to repay amounts which the
Secretary may make to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section
255(i)(1)(A) of the National Housing Act and the Loan Agreement, the
Secretary has required Borrower to grant this Note to the Secretary.
(B)Relationship of Secretary Payments to First Note
Payments made by the Secretary shall be included in the debt due
under this Note unless:
(i)The First Note is assigned to the Secretary; or
(ii) The Secretary accepts reimbursements by the Lender for all
payments made by the Secretary.
If the circumstances described in (i) or (ii) occur, then all payments
by the Secretary, including interest on the payments, shall be
included in the debt under the First Note.
(C)Notice of Interest Rate Adjustments
Borrower agrees that as long as the holder of the First Note
continues to make Loan Advances, any notice of interest rate
adjustment given to Borrower under Paragraph 5(E) of the First Note
shall also be considered to be notice to Borrower under Paragraph 5(E)
of this Note, so that the same interest rate shall apply for the First
Note and this Note.

If Borrower has executed a Shared Appreciation Allonge, the covenants
of the Allonge shall be incorporated into and supplement the covenants of
this Note as if the Allonge were a part of this Note.
