All payments shall be made without counterclaim or setoff, and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.
The Borrowers Debit Balance (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the Loan) shall mean the debit balance in an account on the books of the Bank, maintained in the form of a ledger card, computer records or otherwise in accordance with the Banks customary practice and appropriate accounting procedures wherein there shall be recorded the date and the principal amount advanced by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, each principal payment made by the Borrower to the Bank hereunder, and all other appropriate debits and credits. The Bank shall render to the Borrower a statement of account with respect thereto on a monthly basis. The statement shall be considered correct and accepted by the Borrower, unless Borrower notifies the Bank to the contrary within thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.
The holder of this Note is entitled to all of the benefits and rights, and is subject to all of the obligations, of the Bank under the Loan Agreement. However, neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal and interest of this Note as herein provided. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. This Note is identified in the Loan Agreement as the Term Note.
This Note evidences the Borrowers continuing obligation to pay the Debit Balance (identified as the Term Loan in the Loan Agreement), plus interest and any other applicable charges as determined from time to time.

Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, this Term Note may, as provided in the Loan Agreement, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable in full.
Time is of the essence under this Term Note. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest are hereby waived by Borrower.

Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Citizens Financial Group and its successors and assigns or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence of a Default (subject to any applicable cure period) or Event of Default, without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), Bank may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right, privilege or remedy shall impair such right, privilege or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or of any other right, privilege or remedy. No waiver of any right, privilege or remedy or any amendment to this Note shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the holder. Under no circumstances shall an effective waiver of any right, privilege or remedy on any one occasion constitute or be construed as a bar to the exercise of or a waiver of such right, privilege or remedy on any future occasion.
The acceptance by the holder hereof of any payment after any default hereunder shall not operate to extend the time of payment of any amount then remaining unpaid hereunder or
