9. Amendment. This Note may not be amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

10. Late Charge. Borrower recognizes and agrees that any default of any the payment due hereunder will result in loss and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, handling such delinquent payments and meeting Lender's other financial obligations, the extent of which loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower therefore agrees that in the event that any payment hereunder is not paid on the date it becomes due, for any reason other than an error for which an independent banking institution or wire service is determined to be wholly responsible, then in addition to all other rights set forth herein, or in the Security Agreement, Lender shall have the right to collect a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the delinquent payment.

Furthermore, any default under the Security Agreement, which remains uncured within the timelines specified therein shall also be considered a default by Borrower under this Note.

12. Time. Time is strictly of the essence in this Note.

13. No Waiver by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right under this Note, or under any other agreement or instrument securing this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right on any future occasion, or of any other rights under this Note or any agreement or instrument securing this Note.

14. Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies of Lender provided for in this Note are cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in the Security Agreement or by law or in equity.
