Time shall be of the essence in the payment of all installments of interest and principal on this Note and the performance of Maker's other obligations under this Note.

Lender may add the accrued attorney fees, court costs and other costs of collection into the principal due under the Note and the Mortgage if Maker has not paid these fees within thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to Maker of the fees which are due.
