FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Premier Indemnity Holding Company, a Florida corporation (hereinafter called "Maker"), promises to pay to the order of Gregg Barrett with principal address at 106 Terrace HL, Bigfork, Montana 59911 (together with all subsequent holders of this Note, hereinafter called "Payee"), or at such other place as Payee may from time to time designate in writing, the principal amount of at least Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) but no more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Principal”) (with the actual amount of Principal to be repaid determined as funds are subsequently received from Payee), with interest thereon calculated on a daily basis (based on 365/366-day years) from the date hereof on the principal balance from time to time outstanding (the "Principal Amount") as hereinafter provided, principal, interest and all other sums payable hereunder to be paid in lawful money of the United States of America as follows:

 

A.         Interest shall accrue at all times hereunder at the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum (non-compounded) commencing upon the execution of this Note, and shall be payable on July 31, 2008 (the "Maturity Date").

 

B.         If not earlier due and payable, the unpaid principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

Maker agrees to an effective rate of interest that is the rate stated above plus any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges in the nature of interest paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Maker, or any benefit received or to be received by Payee, in connection with this Note.

 

If any payment required under this Note is not paid within forty-five (45) days after the date such payment is due, then, at the option of Payee, Maker shall pay a "late charge" equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of that payment to compensate Payee for administrative expenses and other costs of delinquent payments.

 

All payments on this Note shall be applied in such manner as Payee elects, and may be applied first to the payment of any costs, penalties, late charges, fees or other charges incurred in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby, next to the payment of accrued interest and then to the reduction of the principal balance.

Time is of the essence of this Note. At the option of Payee, 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 sum due and owing hereunder as provided herein or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default in any of the Loan Documents. The occurrence of the following event shall constitute and is hereby defined to be an "Event of Default": Any failure to pay any principal or interest or any other amount due in connection with this Note when the same shall become due and payable.

 

After maturity, including maturity upon acceleration, the unpaid principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest from the date of maturity until paid at the rate that is three percent (3%) above the rate that would otherwise be payable under the terms hereof. Maker shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred in the collection or enforcement of all or any part of this Note. In the event of any court proceedings, court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by the court and not by jury and shall be included in any judgment obtained by Payee.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, Payee may proceed against any collateral securing this Note or proceed against the undersigned in such order and manner as Payee, in its sole discretion, shall determine, provided that under no circumstance shall Payee be obligated to proceed against any collateral or against the undersigned for collection of any sums due hereunder.

 

Failure of Payee to exercise any option hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default or in the event of the continuance of any existing default after demand for strict performance hereof.

 

Maker, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof: (a) agree to be jointly and severally bound, (b) severally waive demand, diligence, presentment for payment, protest and demand, and notice of extension, dishonor, protest, demand and nonpayment of this Note, (c) consent that Payee may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of any part or the whole of the debt evidenced by this Note, at the request of any other person primarily liable hereon, and such consent shall not alter nor diminish the liability of any person, and (d) agree that Payee may set off at any time any sums or property owed to any of them by Payee.

 

No provision of this Note is intended to or shall require or permit Payee, directly or indirectly, to take, collect or receive in money, goods or in any other form, any interest (including amount deemed by law to be interest) in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

 

If any amount due from or paid by Maker shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in excess of such maximum rate, Maker shall not be obligated to pay such excess and, if paid, such excess shall be applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Note, or if and to the extent that this Note has been paid in full, such excess shall be remitted to Maker. This Note shall be binding upon Maker and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Payee and its successors and assigns.
