Upon and at any time after any Default (as defined below) all amounts due under this Note, at the option of Lender and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, may be declared and immediately shall become due and payable.

This Note may be modified only by a written document that refers specifically to this Note and is signed by both parties. A partys failure or delay in enforcing any provision of this Note will not be deemed a waiver of that partys rights with respect to that provision or any other provision of this Note. A partys waiver of any of its rights under this Note is not a waiver of any of its other rights with respect to a prior, contemporaneous or future occurrence, whether similar in nature or not. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
