If Secured Party performs for Debtor, Secured Party will use reasonable care. Reasonable care will not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties or any duty to take action in connection with the management of the Property.

Payments on any non-purchase money loan also secured by this Agreement will not be applied to the purchase money loan. Payments on

(1) Debtor (or Borrower, if not the same) fails to make a payment in full when due;
(2) Debtor fails to perform any condition or keep any covenant on this or any debt or agreement Debtor has with Secured Party;
