8. The Maker shall have the right to prepay at any time part or all of the outstanding Principal Amount, accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under this Note without premium or penalty upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Payee.

9. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, and any or all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note, and assents to extension of the time of payment, release or forbearance as determined by the Payee, without notice. All of the Payee’s rights and remedies, whether established hereby or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. The Maker acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable and material harm to the Payee and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
