1.                  Payments. All unpaid principal and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable on Dec. 31st. 2015.

2.                  Prepayment. Maker shall prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time, or from time to time, without penalty or premium.

3.                  Events of Default; Acceleration. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder, and upon such Event of Default, the entire principal balance outstanding hereunder, together and other amounts payable hereunder, at the election of Payee, shall become immediately due and payable, without any notice to Maker, provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) below, the remainder of the debt evidenced hereby shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Maker:

4.                  Costs of Collection. Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed, and all costs of suit and preparation for suit (whether at trial or appellate level), in the event any payment of principal or other amount is not paid when due, or if at any time Payee should incur any attorneys’ fees in any proceeding under any federal bankruptcy law (or any similar state or federal law) in connection with the obligations evidenced hereby.

No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder, acceptance of a past-due installment, or other indulgence granted from time to time shall be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Payee thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law. No extension of the time for payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless Payee agrees otherwise in writing. Maker agrees to continue to remain bound for the payment of principal and all other sums due under this Note notwithstanding any changes by way of release, surrender, exchange, modification, substitution of, failure to perfect or maintain perfection of any security for this Note. No delay or failure of Payee in exercising any right hereunder shall affect such right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude further exercise thereof.

7.                Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Note and each and every provision hereof.

9.                Amendments. No amendment, modification, change, waiver, release, or discharge hereof and hereunder shall be effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

10.              Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Note or portion of a provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Note or the remaining portion of the applicable provision.
