Rule: According to the loan agreement, Neffensaan is obligated to provide a mortgage bond to secure the loan.

Application: The court will need to consider the terms of the loan agreement and any relevant legal principles regarding the enforceability of such provisions. The court may also consider any arguments raised by Neffensaan regarding the validity or enforceability of the provision in question.

Conclusion: Based on the loan agreement, Neffensaan is obligated to provide a mortgage bond to secure the loan. The court should likely enforce this provision and order Neffensaan to fulfill its obligation.
