2.              (a)              Payments of accrued interest on the Principal Sum  shall be paid quarterly in arrears to Holder by Borrower and postmarked by January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year that the principal balance of this Note remains outstanding.

(b)           Notwithstanding the above, if the due date for a payment under this Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), then such due date shall be automatically adjusted so that it falls instead on the first Business Day following such scheduled due date.

(1)           Borrower or any guarantor of this Note (A) files or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of a petition for relief or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, (B) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (C) consents hereafter to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to any substantial part of its property, or (D) or suffers an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or receivership to be filed and not vacated within 30 days.







(i)           If the Event of Default in Section 4(a)(1) occurs, Borrower shall give Holder written notice within 24 hours of the occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default known to Borrower.







(ii)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Event of Default set forth in Section 4(a)(1), the entire unpaid Principal Sum and accrued but unpaid interest hereunder shall, at the option of Lender exercised by written notice to Borrower, at once become due and payable.  Failure to exercise such option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default.







(2)           Any payment or delivery required by this Note is not made when due hereunder during the prior calendar year, or if the total quarterly interest amounts paid in the prior calendar year do not total the amount of interest set forth in this Note;







(i)           If the Event of Default in Section 4(a)(2) occurs, Lender may elect, at its sole option and by delivering written notice to Borrower between January 16th and February 15th of the year following the Event of Default, to demand the entire Principal Sum outstanding and accrued but unpaid interest hereunder to at once become due and payable.


(ii)           If the Event of Default in Section 4(a)(2) occurs, and if Lender elects to redeem this Note as set forth in Section 4(a)(2)(i) by sending written notice to Borrower, Borrower must send Lender the entire unpaid Principal Sum and accrued by unpaid interest due hereunder by April 15th. Interest will continue to accrue on the Principal Sum until the payment of all principal is paid according to this subsection.


                      




4.           All amounts paid by Borrower in respect of amounts due hereunder shall be applied by Holder in the following order of priority:  (a) the interest payable on the Principal Sum hereof, and (b) the outstanding Principal Sum hereof.







5.           Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note:  (a) the rates of interest and charges provided for herein and therein shall in no event exceed the rates and charges which result in interest being charged at a rate equaling the maximum allowed by law; and (b) if, for any reason whatsoever, Holder ever receives as interest in connection with the transaction of which this Note is a part an amount which would result in interest being charged at a rate exceeding the maximum allowed by law, such amount or portion thereof as would otherwise be excessive interest shall automati­cally be applied toward reduction of the unpaid Principal Sum then outstanding hereunder and not toward payment of interest.

6.           The failure of Holder in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and provisions of this Note, or to exercise any option conferred herein shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment, to any extent, of the right to assert or rely upon any such terms, provisions or options on any future occasion.







7.           This Note is deliv­ered in the State of Colorado and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of said State, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions.
