sole discretion, Maker shall not sell, transfer, convey, assign or otherwise
dispose of, or further encumber, all or any part of the Property or any
interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or

(i) may increase the interest rate on all or any part of the obligations

indebtedness; (ii) may charge a loan fee and a processing fee in connection
with the change; and (iii) shall not be obligated to release Maker from any

At the option of Holder, the entire unpaid principal balance, all
accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall
become immediately due and payable without notice upon the failure to pay any

ten (10) days after notice thereof to Maker or upon the occurrence of any
event of default, as defined in the Security Documents.
Default Rate Interest. After
maturity, including maturity upon acceleration, the unpaid principal balance,
all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall
bear interest at that rate which is
five percent (5%) above the rate that would otherwise be payable under the
terms hereof.

attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred in the collection or enforcement of
all or any part of this Note, whether or not litigation is filed.
All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.

judgment obtained by Holder.
Prepayment.
Maker shall have the option
to prepay this Note, in full or in part, at any time without penalty, except {Specify
any exceptions to prepayment}.

waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default
or in the event of continuance of any existing default after demand for strict
performance hereof.
Binding.

shall inure to the benefit of Payee, and any subsequent holders of this Note,
