Should the interest of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property be other or less than one hundred percent (100%)

full fee simple title thereto, and should Mortgagor hereafter acquire any other or further right, titled or interest therein, then such right, title or interest shall be included in the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the lien hereof to the same extent as if owned by Mortgagor on the date hereof.
