giving the right to declare the whole indebtedness due and payable on default of
the payment of any part thereof may, at the election of the holder of the evidence
of debt, be foreclosed as to any one or more past due installments of principal or

(d) Not more than one foreclosure proceeding may be commenced pursuant

to the lien securing the remaining obligation.

evidence of debt secured by any mortgage or deed of trust from exercising any
option contained therein to declare the whole indebtedness due and payable, nor

whole indebtedness has been declared due and payable.
