All payments hereon shall be applied first to interest, if any, and thereafter to the balance of principal.





It is expressly provided that upon default in the punctual payment of this Note or any part thereof, principal or interest, as the same shall become due and payable, then at the option of the holder, the entire indebtedness shall be matured; and in the event default is made in the prompt payment of this Note when due or declared due, and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same is collected through Probate, Bankruptcy or other judicial proceedings, then Makers agree and promise to pay reasonable attorney's fees.

In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intent of the Payee and Makers in the execution and delivery of this Note to contract in strict compliance with the applicable usury laws.

Neither Makers nor any guarantors, endorsers, sureties, or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be liable for interest in excess of the maxi­mum interest that may lawfully be charged under such laws, and the provisions of this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions of this Note­.
