3. Rights Given to Lender. I mortgage the Property to the Lender. This means that I give the Lender those rights stated in this Mortgage and also those rights the law gives to lenders who hold mortgages on real property.

6. Tax and Insurance Escrow. If the Lender requests, I will make regular monthly payments to the Lender of: (a) 1/12 of the yearly real estate taxes and assessments on the Property; and (b) 1/12 of the yearly cost of insurance on the Property.

7. Payments Made for Borrower(s). If I do not make all of the repairs or payments as agreed in this Mortgage, the Lender may do so for me.
