If any installment is not paid when due under this Note, if a default occurs under any other obligation of any Maker to Lender or if Lender deems itself insecure, the unpaid balance shall, at the option of Lender, without notice, mature and become immediately payable. The unpaid balance shall automatically mature and become immediately payable in the event any Maker, surety, indorser or guarantor becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings. Lender's receipt of any payment on this Note after the occurrence of an event of default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or the Lender's rights and remedies upon such default. To the extent not prohibited by law, Maker consents that venue for any legal proceeding relating to collection of this Note shall be, at Lender's option, the county in which Lender has its principal office in this state, the county in which any Maker resides or the county in which this Note was executed. 8. Security. This Note is secured by all existing and future security agreements and mortgages between Lender and Maker, between Lender and any indorser or guarantor of this Note, and between Lender and any other person providing collateral security for Maker's obligations, and payment may be accelerated according to any of them. Unless a lien would be prohibited by law or would render a nontaxable account taxable, Maker grants to Lender a security interest and lien in any deposit account Maker may at any time have with Lender. Lender may, at any time after an occurrence of an event of default, without notice or demand, set-off against any deposit balances or other money now or hereafter owed any Maker by Lender any amount unpaid under this Note. 9. Rights of Lender. Without affecting the liability of any Maker, indorser, surety, or guarantor, Lender may, without notice, accept partial payments, release or impair any collateral security for the payment of this Note or agree not to sue any party liable on it. Lender may apply prepayments, if permitted, to such future installments as it elects. Lender may without notice to Maker apply payments made by or for Maker to any obligations of Maker to Lender. Without affecting the liability of any indorser, surety or guarantor, Lender may from time to time, without notice, renew or extend the time for payment. 10. Obligations and Agreements of Maker. The obligations under this Note of all Makers are joint and several. All Makers, indorsers, sureties, and guarantors agree to pay all costs of collection before and after judgment, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including those incurred in successful defense or settlement of any counterclaim brought by Maker or incident to any action or proceeding involving Maker brought pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code) and waive presentment, protest, demand and notice of dishonor. Maker agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising directly or indirectly from credit extended under this Note or the activities of Maker. This indemnity shall survive payment of this Note. Each Maker acknowledges that Lender has not made any representations or warranties with respect to, and that Lender does not assume any responsibility to Maker for, the collectability or enforceability of this Note or the financial condition of any Maker. Each Maker has independently determined the collectability and enforceability of this Note. Maker authorizes Lender to disclose financial and other information about Maker to others. 11. Interpretation. This Note is intended by Maker and Lender as a final expression of this Note and as a complete and exclusive statement of its terms, there being no conditions to the enforceability of this Note.
