3. Events
of Default. The following shall constitute an Event of
Default:
(a) In
the event Maker shall fail (i) to pay any sums due hereunder
when due, or (ii) to observe or perform any term, condition,
covenant, representation or warranty set forth herein, when due or
required, or within any period of time permitted thereunder for
cure of any such default or non-performance.

6.
Limitation on Interest. In no contingency, whether by reason
of acceleration of the Maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall
the interest contracted for, charged or received by Holder exceed

such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of
the Note such excess shall be refunded to Maker. All interest paid
or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal
of the Note (including the period of any renewal or extension
thereof) so that interest thereon for such full period shall not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
7.
Remedies; Nonwaiver. Failure of Holder to exercise any right
or remedy available to Holder upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver on the part of
Holder of the right to exercise any such right or remedy for that
Event of Default or any subsequent Event of Default. The exercise
of any remedy by Holder shall not constitute an election of any
such remedy to the exclusion of any other remedies afforded Holder
at law or in equity, all such remedies being nonexclusive and
cumulative. If an Event of Default occurs under this Note and this
Note is referred to an attorney at law for collection, Maker agrees
to pay all costs incurred by Holder incident to collection up to a
limit of 10% of the unpaid principal balance, including but not
limited to reasonable attorney fees, enforceable as a contract of
indemnity, plus all court costs.

demand, (ii) waives notice of protest, demand, dishonor and
nonpayment of this Note, and (iii) expressly agrees that this
Note may be renewed in whole or in part, or any nonpayment
hereunder may be extended, or a new note of different form may be
substituted for this Note or changes may be made in consideration
of the extension of the Maturity date hereof, or any combination
thereof, from time to time, but, in any singular event or any
combination of such events, Maker will not be released from
liability by reason of the occurrence of any such event, nor shall
Holder hereof be deemed by the occurrence of any such event to have
waived or surrendered, either in whole or in part, any right it
otherwise might have.
