26 AND 28 EAST SIMPSON STREET, MECIfANICSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17055
[I'mlxny Addreul
1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY
In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $ 50, 000.00 (Ibis amount is called
"principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is HCMEAM MOAN CREDIT, INC. D/B/A
UPI.AP]D I47ATGMM . I understand that the Lender may transfer this
Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is
called the "Note Holder."
2. INTEREST
Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of principal has been paid. I will pay interest at a
yearly rate of 10.240 S.
The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the tale 1 will pay both before and after any default described in
Section 6(B) of this Note.
3. PAYMENTS
(A) 71me and Place of Payments
I will pay principal and interest by makingayments every month.

1 will make these payments every month until 1 have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges
described below that I may owe under this Note. My monthly payments will be applied to interest before principal. If,
on DECEMBER 9TH, 2011 , I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date,
which is called the "Maturity Date."
I will make my monthly payments at 111 PRESIDENTIAL BOULEVARD, SUITE 142, DATA CYN-7YD,
PENNSYLVANIA 19004 or at a different place if

HD Amount of Monthly Payments
My monthly payment will be in the amount of U.S. $ 544.67
4. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY
I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A payment of principal only is
known as a "prepayment." When I make a prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so.
I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any prepayment charge. The Note Holder will
use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I owe under this Note. If I make a partial prepayment,
there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in
writing to those changes.
S. LOAN CHARGES
If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest
or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (i) any
such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (it) any sums
already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to
make this refund by reducing the principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund
reduces principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment.
6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments
If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of TEN
calendar days after the date it is due, 1 will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will
be 5.000 % of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once
on each late payment.
(B) Default
It I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default.
(C) Notice of Default
If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount
by a certain dale, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of principal which has not been
paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice
is delivered or mailed to me.
(D) No Waiver By Note Holder
Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as described
above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time.
(E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses
If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the
right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys' fees.

by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to we at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give
the Note Holder a notice of my different address.
Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by mailing it by first class mail to
the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that
different address.
S. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE
If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises
made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety or
endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the
obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this
Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us
together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.
9. WAIVERS
I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of presentment and notice of dishonor.

means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.
10. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE
This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections given
to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Security Deed (the "Security Ins(rument"), dated the
same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep the promises
which I make in this Note. That Security Instmment describes how and under what conditions I may be required to
make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions am described as
follows:
Transfer or the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. If all or any pan of the Property or any
interest in it is sold or transferred (or if a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred and Borrower is not a
natural person) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may, at its option, require immediate payment in full
of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if exercise is
prohibited by federal law as of the date of this Security Instrument,
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a
period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is delivered or mailed within which Borrower must pay all
sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period,
Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on
Borrower.

PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY, THE FOLLOWING PART OF THIS NOTICE IS FOR
INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN
ATTEMPT TO COLLECT THE DEBT.
(If you have filed bankruptcy you can still apply for Emergency Mortgage Assistance.)
HOW TO CURE YOUR MORTGAGE DEFAULT (Bring it up to date).
NATURE OF THE DEFAULT - The MORTGAGE debt held by the above lender on
your property located at:
26 and 28 East Simpson Street IS SERIOUSLY IN DEFAULT because:
YOU HAVE NOT MADE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT of $544.67 for the
following months and the following amounts are now past due:
Monthly Payments of Principal and Interest
for the months of March, 2004 through June, 2004: 2,178.68
Late Charges 191.09
Force Placed Insurance: 402.23
Prior Foreclosure Fees & Costs: 113.02
TOTAL AMOUNT PAST DUE: $2,885.02
HOW TO CURE THE DEFAULT- You may cure the default within THIRTY (30)
DAYS of the date of this notice BY PAYING THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAST DUE TO THE
LENDER, WHICH IS $2,885.02, PLUS ANY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND LATE
CHARGES WHICH BECOME DUE DURING THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD. Payments
must be made either by cash, cashier's check, certified check or money order made payable and
sentto:
HomeAmerican Credit, Inc. d/b/a Upland Mortgage
Attn: Carolee Berasi, Counsel
100 Penn Square East
Wanamaker Building
Philadelphia, PA 19107
IF YOU DO NOT CURE THE DEFAULT- If you do not cure the default within
THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this Notice, the lender intends to exercise its rights to
accelerate the mortgage debt. This means that the entire outstanding balance of this debt will be
considered due immediately and you may lose the chance to pay the mortgage in monthly
installments.
IF THE MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED UPON- The mortgaged property will be
sold by the Sheriff to pay off the mortgage debt. If the lender refers your case to its attorneys,
but you cure the delinquency before the lender begins legal proceedings against you, you will
still be required to pay the reasonable attorney's fees that were actually incurred, up to $50.00.
However, if legal proceedings are started against you, you will have to pay all reasonable
attorney's fees actually incurred by the lender even if they exceed $50.00. Any attorney's fees
will be added to the amount you owe the lender, which may also include other reasonable costs.
If you cure the default within the THIRTY (30) DAYperiod, you will not be required to pay
attorney's fees.
OTHER LENDER REMEDIES -- The lender may also sue you personally for the unpaid
principal balance and all other sums due under the mortgage.
RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT PRIOR TO SHERIFF'S SALE -If you have
not cured the default within the THIRTY (30) DAY period and foreclosure proceedings have
begun, you still have the right to cure the default and prevent the sale at any time up to one hour
before the Sheriff's Sale. You may do so by paying the total amount then past due, plus any late
or other charges then due, reasonable attorney's fee and costs connected with the foreclosure
sale and any other costs connected with the Sheriffs Sale as specified in writing by the lender
and by performing any other requirements under the mortgage. Curing your default in the
manner set forth in this notice will restore your mortgage to the same position as if you
have never defaulted.
EARLIEST POSSIBLE SHERIFF'S SALE DATE - It is estimated that the earliest date that
such as Sheriff's Sale of the mortgaged property could be held would be approximately six
months from the date of this Notice. A notice of the actual date of the Sheriffs Sale will be
sent to you before the sale. Of course, the amount needed to cure the default will increase the
longer you wait. You may find out at any time exactly what the required payment or action will
be by contacting the lender.
HOW TO CONTACT THE LENDER:
Name of Lender: HomeAmerican Credit, Inc. d/b/a Upland Mortgage
Address: 100 Penn Square East
Wanamaker Building
Philadelphia, PA 19107
Phone Number: (215) 940-4000
Fax Number: (215)-940-3263
Contact Person: Carolee Berasi, Counsel
EFFECT OF SHERIFF'S SALE - You should realize that a Sheriffs Sale will end your
ownership of the mortgaged property and you right to occupy it. If you continue to live in the
property after the Sheriffs Sale, a lawsuit to remove you and your furnishings and other
belongings could be started by the lender at any time.
ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE - You _ may or XX may not sell or transfer
your home to a buyer or transferee who will assume the mortgage debt, provided that all the
outstanding payments, charges and attorney's fees and costs are paid prior to or at the sale and
that the other requirements of the mortgage are satisfied.
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT:
¦ TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO OBTAIN MONEY TO PAY OFF THE MORTGAGE
DEBT OR TO BORROW MONEY FROM ANOTHER LENDING INSTITUTION TO
PAY OFF THIS DEBT.
¦ TO HAVE THIS DEFAULT CURED BY ANY THIRD PARTY ACTING ON YOUR
BEHALF.
¦ TO HAVE THE MORTGAGE RESTORED TO THE SAME POSITION AS IF NO
DEFAULT HAD OCCURRED, IF YOU CURE THE DEFAULT. (However, you do not
have this right to cure your default more than three times in any calendar year.)
¦ TO ASSERT THE NONEXISTENCE OF ANY DEFAULT IN ANY FORECLOSURE
PROCEEDING OR ANY OTHER LAWSUIT INSTITUTED UNDER THE MORTGAGE
DOCUMENTS,

HOW TO CURE YOUR MORTGAGE DEFAULT (Bring it up to date).
NATURE OF THE DEFAULT - The MORTGAGE debt held by the above lender on
your property located at:
26 and 28 East Simpson Street IS SERIOUSLY IN DEFAULT because:
YOU HAVE NOT MADE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT of $544.67 for the
following months and the following amounts are now past due:
Monthly Payments of Principal and Interest
for the months of March, 2004 through June, 2004: 2,178.68
Late Charges 191.09
Force Placed Insurance: 402.23
Prior Foreclosure Fees & Costs: 113.02
TOTAL AMOUNT PAST DUE: $2,885.02
HOW TO CURE THE DEFAULT- You may cure the default within THIRTY (30)
DAYS of the date of this notice BY PAYING THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAST DUE TO THE
LENDER, WHICH IS $2,885.02, PLUS ANY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND LATE
CHARGES WHICH BECOME DUE DURING THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD. Payments
must be made either by cash, cashier's check, certified check or money order made payable and
sentto:
HomeAmerican Credit, Inc. d/b/a Upland Mortgage
Attn: Carolee Berasi, Counsel
100 Penn Square East
Wanamaker Building
Philadelphia, PA 19107
IF YOU DO NOT CURE THE DEFAULT- If you do not cure the default within
THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this Notice, the lender intends to exercise its rights to
accelerate the mortgage debt. This means that the entire outstanding balance of this debt will be
considered due immediately and you may lose the chance to pay the mortgage in monthly
installments.
IF THE MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED UPON- The mortgaged property will be
sold by the Sheriff to pay off the mortgage debt. If the lender refers your case to its attorneys,
but you cure the delinquency before the lender begins legal proceedings against you, you will
still be required to pay the reasonable attorney's fees that were actually incurred, up to $50.00.
However, if legal proceedings are started against you, you will have to pay all reasonable
attorney's fees actually incurred by the lender even if they exceed $50.00. Any attorney's fees
will be added to the amount you owe the lender, which may also include other reasonable costs.
If you cure the default within the THIRTY (30) DAYperiod, you will not be required to pay
attorney's fees.
OTHER LENDER REMEDIES -- The lender may also sue you personally for the unpaid
principal balance and all other sums due under the mortgage.
RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT PRIOR TO SHERIFF'S SALE - If you have
not cured the default within the THIRTY (30) DAY period and foreclosure proceedings have
begun, you still have the right to cure the default and prevent the sale at any time up to one hour
before the Sheriffs Sale. You may do so by paying the total amount then past due, plus any late
or other charges then due, reasonable attorney's fee and costs connected with the foreclosure
sale and any other costs connected with the Sheriff's Sale as specified in writing by the lender
and by performing any other requirements under the mortgage. Curing your default in the
manner set forth in this notice will restore your mortgage to the same position as if you
have never defaulted.
EARLIEST POSSIBLE SHERIFF'S SALE DATE - It is estimated that the earliest date that
such as Sheriff's Sale of the mortgaged property could be held would be approximately six
months from the date of this Notice. A notice of the actual date of the Sheriffs Sale will be
sent to you before the sale. Of course, the amount needed to cure the default will increase the
longer you wait. You may find out at any time exactly what the required payment or action will
be by contacting the lender.
HOW TO CONTACT THE LENDER:
Name of Lender: HomeAmerican Credit, Inc. d/b/a Upland Mortgage
Address: 100 Penn Square East
Wanamaker Building
Philadelphia, PA 19107
Phone Number: (215) 940-4000
Fax Number: (215)-940-3263
Contact Person: Carolee Berasi, Counsel
EFFECT OF SHERIFF'S SALE - You should realize that a Sheriff s Sale will end your
ownership of the mortgaged property and you right to occupy it. If you continue to live in the
property after the Sheriffs Sale, a lawsuit to remove you and your furnishings and other
belongings could be started by the lender at any time.
ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE - You _ may or XX may not sell or transfer
your home to a buyer or transferee who will assume the mortgage debt, provided that all the
outstanding payments, charges and attorney's fees and costs are paid prior to or at the sale and
that the other requirements of the mortgage are satisfied.

DEBT OR TO BORROW MONEY FROM ANOTHER LENDING INSTITUTION TO

BEHALF.

DEFAULT HAD OCCURRED, IF YOU CURE THE DEFAULT. (However, you do not

PROCEEDING OR ANY OTHER LAWSUIT INSTITUTED UNDER THE MORTGAGE
DOCUMENTS,

Explanatory Comment
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 governing the termination of
inactive cases and amended Rule of Judicial Administration 1901. Two aspects of the recommendation merit
comment.
1. Rule of civil Procedure
New Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 has been promulgated to govern the termination of inactive cases within the
scope of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The termination of these cases for inactivity was previously
governed by Rule of Judicial Administration 1901 and local rules promulgated pursuant to it. New Rule 230.2 is
tailored to the needs of civil actions. It provides a complete procedure and a uniform statewide practice, preempting
local rules.
This rule was promulgated in response to the decision of the Supreme Court in Shop v. Eagle, 551 Pa. 360,710 A.2d
1104 (1998) in which the court held that "prejudice to the defendant as a result of delay in prosecution is required
before a case may be dismissed pursuant to local rules implementing Rule of Judicial Administration 1901."
Rule of Judicial Administration 1901(b) has been amended to accommodate the new rule of civil procedure. The
general policy of the prompt disposition of matters set forth in subdivision (a) of that rule continues to be applicable.
II Inactive Cases
The purpose of Rule 230.2 is to eliminate inactive cases from the judicial system. The process is initiated by the
court. After giving notice of intent to terminate an action for inactivity, the course of the procedure is with the parties.
If the parties do not wish to pursue the case, they will take no action and "the Prothonotary shall enter an order as of
course terminating the matter with prejudice for failure to prosecute." If a party wishes to pursue the matter, he or she
will file a notice of intention to proceed and the action shall continue.
a. Where the action has been terminated
If the action is terminated when a party believes that it should not have been terminated, that party may proceed
under Rule230(d) for relief from the order of termination. An example of such an occurrence might be the termination
of a viable action when the aggrieved party did not receive the notice of intent to terminate and thus did not timely file
the notice of intention to proceed.
The timing of the filing of the petition to reinstate the action is important. If the petition is filed within thirty days of
the entry of the order of termination on the docket, subdivision (d)(2) provides that the court must grant the petition and
reinstate the action. If the petition is filed later than the thirty-day period, subdivision (d)(3) requires that the plaintiff
must make a show in to the court that the petition was promptly filed and that there is a reasonable explanation or
legitimate excuse both for the failure to file the notice of intention to proceed prior to the entry of the order of
termination on the docket and for the failure to file the petition within the thirty-day period under subdivision (d)(2).
B. Where the action has not been terminated
An action which has not been terminated but which continues upon the filing of a notice of intention to proceed may
have been the subject of inordinate delay. In such an instance, the aggrieved party may pursue the remedy of a
common law non pros which exits independently of termination under Rule 230.2.
