II. The defaults for which this foreclosure is made are as follows: (1) Failure to pay the Loan in full on or before November 1, 2014 (the "Maturity Date"); (2) Borrower's improper application of draw proceeds to pay invoices unrelated to the specific project designated for such draw proceeds, which has caused the Loan and other loans made by Beneficiary to Borrower (the "Related Loans") to be "out of balance"; and (3) Failure to pay when due the real property taxes for the Property. The following is an itemized summary of the amounts that are now in arrears: Matured principal balance:^$8,435.14 Interest accruing at the note rate thru 5/22/14:^$1,844.92 Interest accruing at the default rate from 5/23/14 to 2/25/15:^$19,443.42 Legal fees:^$722.00 Default Fee:^$1,476.65 Extension Fees:^$3,691.63 Reconveyance Fee:^$200.00 TOTAL AMOUNTS IN ARREARS:^$35,813.76 III.

The defaults referred to in paragraph III must be cured by May 18, 2015 (11 days before the sale) to cause a discontinuance of the sale.

The sale may be terminated any time after May 18, 2015 (11 days before the sale) and before the sale by the Borrower, any Guarantor (defined below), or the holder of any recorded junior lien or encumbrance paying the entire principal and interest secured by the Deed of Trust, plus costs, fees, and advances, if any, made pursuant to the terms of the obligation and/or Deed of Trust, and curing all other defaults.
