| 1. | TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH REGARD TO PAYMENT. If any payment or principal called for in this Promissory Note is not received upon the due date, or if any check shall be returned by Maker’s bank for any reason whatsoever, such activity shall constitute default of Maker in the terms of this Promissory Note. Upon such a default, the Holder may, at its option and without notice to any other, declare the entire unpaid principal balance due and payable, together with interest at the highest legal rate available in the State of New York, and together with reimbursement of all costs and actual attorney fees incurred in the collection thereof. Upon such a default and acceleration, interest shall begin on the accelerated balance due from the first day of such default until paid in full. In the event of default, the Holder shall have the right to exercise any and all legal remedies available to the Holder. |
| 2. | Should the Maker be adjudicated a bankrupt or be declared insolvent, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should any Receiver or Trustee be appointed for the business or property of the Maker; then the Holder may, at its option and without notice to any other, declare the entire unpaid principal balance due and payable, together with interest at the highest legal rate available in the State of New York, and together with reimbursement of all costs and actual attorney fees incurred in the collection thereof. Upon such a default and acceleration, interest shall begin on the accelerated balance due from the first day of such default until paid in full. In the event of default, the Holder shall have the right to exercise any and all legal remedies available to the Holder. |
WAIVER. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right under this Note. A waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any such right and/or remedy on any future occasion.
