"us" mean the credit union whose name appears on this document
and anyone to whom the credit union assigns or transfers this
Agreement. All references to the "Loan" mean the loan described

to "you," or "your" mean any person who signs this Agreement.
1. THE SECURITY FOR THE LOAN - You give us what is known as
a security interest in the property described in the "Security"
section of the Truth in Lending Disclosure that is part of this
document ("the Property"). The security interest you give includes
all accessions. Accessions are things which are attached to or
installed in the Property now or in the future. The security interest
also includes any replacements for the Property which you buy
within 10 days of the Loan and any extensions, renewals or
refinancings of the Loan. It also includes any money you receive
from selling the Property or from insurance you have on the
Property. If the value of the Property declines, you promise to give
us more property as security if asked to do so.
2. WHAT THE SECURITY INTEREST COVERS - The Property
secures the Loan and any extensions, renewals or refinancings of
the Loan. It the Property is not a dwelling, it also secures any other
loans, including any credit card loan, you have now or receive in
the future from us and any other amounts you owe us for any
reason now or in the future, except any loan secured by Your
principal residence. If the Property is household goods as defined
by the Federal Trade Commission Credit Practices Rule or your
principal residence, the Property will secure only this Loan and not
other loans or amounts you owe us.
3. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY - You promise that you own
the Property or, if this Loan is to buy the Property, you promise
you will use the Loan proceeds for that purpose. You promise, that
no one else has any interest in or claim against the Property that
you have not already told us about. You promise not to sell or
lease the Property or to use it as security for a loan with another
creditor until the Loan is repaid. You promise you will allow no
other security interest or lien to attach to the Property either by
your actions or by operation of law.
4. PROTECTING THE SECURITY INTEREST - If your state issues a
title for the Property, you promise to have our security interest
shown on the title. We may have to file what is called a financing
statement to protect our security interest from the claims of
others. It asked to do so, you promise to sign a financing
statement. You promise to do whatever else we think is necessary
to protect our security interest in the Property. You also promise to
pay all costs, including but not limited to any attorney fees, we
incur in protecting our security interest and rights in the Property,
to the extent permitted by applicable law.
5. USE OF PROPERTY - Until the Loan has been paid off, you
promise you will. (1) Use the Property carefully and keep it in good

what you owe. You authorize us to endorse any draft or check
which may be payable to you in order for us to collect any refund
or benefits due under your insurance policy.

keep it insured, we may pay these obligations, but we are not
required to do so. Any money we spend for taxes, fees or
insurance will be added to the unpaid balance of the Loan and you
will pay interest an those amounts at the same rate you agreed to
pay on the Loan, We may receive payments in connection with the
insurance from a company which provides the insurance. We may

our loan agreements or may engage others to do so. The insurance

insurance to the unpaid balance of the Loan, we may increase your
payments to pay the amount added within the term of the insurance
or term of the Loan.
