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

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.
