The Holder shall have the optional right to declare the amount of the total unpaid balance hereof to be due and forthwith payable in advance of the maturity date, as fixed herein, upon the Makers failure to remit any monthly payment when due. Upon exercise of this option by the Holder, the entire unpaid principal shall bear interest at the maximum contract rate permitted by law until paid. Forbearance to exercise this option with respect to any failure or breach of the undersigned shall not constitute a waiver of the right as to any continuing failure or breach or any subsequent failure or breach.
