Holder
may, in its sole discretion, accept payments made by Maker after any default has
occurred, without waiving any of Holder’s rights herein. No waiver by
Holder of a default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same
default on a future occasion.

under advice there from, Maker and any endorser, guarantor, or other person
primarily or secondarily liable for payment hereof hereby, severally and jointly

and all that excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of
the principal balance, and any portion of the excess that exceeds the principal
balance shall be paid by Holder to Maker or any parties liable for the payment
of the loan made pursuant to this Note so that under no circumstances shall the
Maker, or any parties liable for the payment of the loan hereunder, be required
