Payments made hereunder shall be applied when received, first, to interest accrued, and then to reduce the principal balance; except that if any monies paid by the holder of this Note to cure any default of Maker shall not then have been repaid, payments made on account of monies due under this Note may, at the option of the holder of this Note, be applied first to repay such monies paid and remaining unpaid or against other amounts then due and the balance, if any, shall be applied on account of principal and interest in such proportions as the holder of this Note shall determine.
