3. Should the Debtor default under Paragraph 1 or 2 herein, or should any payment be returned for insufficient funds, the Movant may file with the court and mail to the Debtor and their attorney an Affidavit of Default and Notice of Termination of Automatic Stay. Should the Debtor then fail to cure the default including any amounts which have become due between the execution of the Affidavit and the expiration of the cure period, within ten (10) days from the date of the filing of the affidavit, and/or should the Debtor fail to file an opposition to the Default Affidavit pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3), the stay shall terminate without further court action and without further court order. Should the Debtor file an Objection, Response or Motion to Strike the Affidavit of Default, the Debtor shall bear the burden of proof as to the inaccuracy of the Affidavit. Any payment(s) tendered to cure a default arising under the provisions of this consent agreement must be in the form of certified or cashier's check or money orders. If the Debtor fails to cure the default noted, the Noteholder may proceed to enforce its rights, including but not limited to foreclosure, under the provisions of the Deed of Trust recorded among the land records of Baltimore City, Maryland, at Liber 08921 and folio 0067 and which is secured by the property of the Debtor located at 5506 Price Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21215. The additional stay provided by Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3) is hereby waived.
4. Should there be more than two (2) defaults in payment as provided in this agreement, there shall be no ten day "cure period"; the Movant shall file the Affidavit of Default with the court and mail copies to the Debtor and their attorney and may proceed with collection and/or foreclosure actions immediately.
5. This agreement shall be and become null and void on the termination of this bankruptcy proceeding. Should the Debtor convert to a Chapter 7 proceeding, this agreement shall constitute the Debtor's consent to the termination of the automatic stay and the repayment provisions in Paragraph (1, 2 or 3) shall be and become null and void. This agreement shall apply to proceedings for possession of the real property after the foreclosure sale and shall apply to successors and/or assigns of Movant.
6. The Movant and/or its successors and assigns may, at its option, offer, provide and enter into a potential forbearance agreement and/or loan modification or other loan workout/loss mitigation agreement which does not otherwise require court approval. The Movant may contact the Debtor via telephone or written correspondence to offer such an agreement. Any such agreement shall be non-recourse unless included in a reaffirmation agreement.
