permitted by applicable law or (ii) to reduce the amounts payable under this

act, failure or delay by the Payee hereof to declare a default as set forth
herein or to exercise any right or remedy it may have hereunder, or otherwise,
shall constitute a waiver of its rights to declare such default or to exercise
any such right or remedy at such time as it shall determine in its sole
discretion.

                  Maker further agrees to pay all costs of collection, including
a reasonable attorney's fee and all costs of levy or appellate proceedings or
review, or both, in case the principal or any interest thereon is not paid at
the respective maturity thereof, or in case it becomes necessary to protect the
security hereof, whether suit be brought or not.
