Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the Principal Amount. In that event, this
Note is payable at the Place for Payment and according to the Terms of Payment. All unpaid
amounts are due by the Maturity Date. After maturity, Borrower promises to pay any unpaid
principal balance plus interest at the Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts.
If Borrower defaults in the payment of this Note or in the performance of its obligations
under the Contract or the HOME Regulations or any other obligation in any instrument securing
or collateral to this Note, Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance, earned interest, and
any other amounts owed on the Note immediately due and payable. Borrower and each surety,
endorser, and guarantor waive all demand for payment, presentation for payment, notice of
intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest, and notice of protest,
to the extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a monetary event of default occurs under the
terms of any of the Loan Documents, prior to exercising any remedies Lender shall give Borrower
written notice of such default. Borrower shall have a period of 7 days after such notice is given within
which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by Lender under the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a non -monetary event of default occurs under the terms
of any of the Loan Documents, prior to exercising any remedies, Lender shall give Borrower written
notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within 30 days, Borrower
shall have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by Lender under the Loan
Documents. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within 30 days, and
if Borrower (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently, continually, and in
good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then Borrower shall have such additional time
as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to exercise of any remedies by Lender. In no event
shall Lender be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become
materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within 180 days after
the first notice of default is given.
Borrower also promises to pay reasonable attorney's fees and court and other costs if this
Note is placed in the hands of an attorney to collect or enforce the Note. These expenses will bear
interest from the date of advance at the Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts.
Borrower will pay Lender these expenses and interest on demand at the Place for Payment. These
expenses and interest will become part of the debt evidenced by the Note and will be secured by
