Interest shall be paid in advance for one year at the time of signing of this Note in the sum of $42,500.00. Thereafter, should this Note be renewed for an additional term of one year as provided for in paragraph 3 below, then in such event, interest shall be paid in advance for such additional term at the date of commencement of the second year of this Note. Interest is earned and is non-refundable when paid by Maker to Payee regardless of any prepayment of principal by Maker to Payee.

3. PAYMENT. The principal balance of this Note shall be paid in full on the one year anniversary date of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker, at Maker's option, shall have the right to extend the time of payment of principal of this Note for an additional term of one year provided that the Maker shall pay the interest in advance for the additional term at the commencement of such additional term as provided in paragraph 2 above.

No matter shall be considered waived by implication, or expressly waived unless in writing signed by the Payee. All remedies are cumulative, and not alternative. No right or power of Payee hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Payee, or by any neglect to exercise such right or power, or by any delay in doing so; and every right or power shall continue in full force and effect unless specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Payee.
