The Deferral Fee is in addition to any other fees, expenses, interest or principal subject to the Security Agreement and Promissory Note, as amended. At any time after September 1, 2023, regardless of whether an Event of default has occurred, Burish may issue a notice in writing to Borrower a Deferral Fee Cancellation Notice at any time after the 15^th day of the preceding month that the Deferral Fee will no longer be accepted and that the full Regular Monthly Payment will be due on the first day of the month immediately following said notice.

Such additional borrowings are subject to the same 12% rate of interest per annum.
