payable, although the time expressed in the promissory note or notes or other obligation
or obligations shall not have arrived. 10. COVENANT NO. 10. That it is understood and agreed that all the natural increase, during the existence
of this mortgage, of any livestock which shall at any time be subject to the lien

and with the customary manner of handling that kind of livestock which is subject
to the lien hereof. Should the livestock or any part thereof at any time, in the opinion of the mortgagee,
require care, attention or protection other than that provided by the mortgagor, then
the mortgagee may enter or cause entry to be made upon any property where the mortgaged
livestock or any part thereof may be found, and assume control, custody and possession
of the same, and at the expense of the mortgagor care for, protect, and attend to
the same in such manner as it may deem necessary. 12. COVENANT NO. 12. That it is further understood and agreed that the mortgagee, its agents or attorneys,
shall have the right at all times to inspect and examine any property which may at
any time be subject to the lien of the mortgage, for the purpose of ascertaining whether
or not the security given is being lessened, diminished, depleted or impaired, and
if such inspection or examination shall disclose, in the judgment of the mortgagee,
that the security given or the property mortgaged is being lessened or impaired, such
condition shall be deemed a breach of the covenants of the mortgage on the part of
the mortgagor. 13. COVENANT NO. 13. That upon default of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements of any
chattel mortgage whereby livestock is mortgaged, it is agreed that the mortgagee may,
without foreclosure and without legal proceedings and without any previous demand
therefor, with the aid or assistance of any person or persons, enter upon the premises
and ranges of the mortgagor or such place or places as any of the property subject
to the lien of the mortgage is or may be found, and take, lead, drive or carry away
the mortgaged property or any part thereof, and with or without notice to the mortgagor,
at either public or private sale, sell and dispose of the same or so much thereof
as may be necessary to pay the amount and sums secured by the mortgage, for the best
price it can obtain, and out of the moneys arising therefrom it shall retain and pay
the sum or sums then due or payable under the lien of the mortgage, and interest thereon,
and all charges and expenses incurred in gathering, feeding, caring for, and selling
the property or any part thereof, and any other expenses and charges incurred by the
mortgagee, and all other sums secured by any of the terms of the mortgage, and any
overplus shall be paid to the mortgagor. The mortgagee is expressly authorized and empowered, upon any such sale, to make
and execute such bills of sale or other conveyances necessary to convey to the purchaser
or purchasers thereof an absolute title in the property so sold. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser or purchasers at any such sale or sales
purported to be made under the powers granted hereunder to inquire into or in any
way be or become responsible for the actual existence of the contingency or contingencies
upon which such sale or sales shall be made by the mortgagee, and title to the purchaser
or purchasers of the property so sold shall be good and sufficient; and the mortgagor
agrees that the decision of the mortgagee as to the actual existence of the contingency
or contingencies upon which the sale or sales as aforesaid is or may be predicated
shall be conclusive and binding upon the mortgagor. 14. COVENANT NO. 14. That it is expressly agreed by and between the mortgagor and mortgagee that, in the
event suit shall be instituted for the foreclosure of the mortgage, the mortgagee
may, at its option and without notice, apply for the appointment of a receiver for
the purpose of taking possession of the mortgaged property pending foreclosure, and
with the approval of the court wherein such suit is instituted, such receiver as may
be designated by the mortgagee shall be appointed. All costs in connection with the appointment of a receiver or in connection with
the discharge of the duties of the receiver shall be taxed as costs in the suit. 15. COVENANT NO. 15. That it is expressly agreed and understood that in any sale of any of the property
at any time subject to the lien of the mortgage, under the terms of the mortgage or
any of the covenants adopted by reference, the property may, at the option of the
mortgagee, be sold in one lot or parcel or in such other lots or parcels as may be
designated by the mortgagee; and it is further covenanted and agreed that the mortgagee
may become the purchaser of the property or any part thereof at any sale made under
any of the terms of the mortgage, or upon foreclosure.
