Makers shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note. If Makers default in the payment of this Note or under any term of the Security Agreement, or in the performance of any obligation under any other agreement, instrument or other document executed as security for, or otherwise in connection with, this Note, whether now existing or hereafter executed (collectively, the "Other Documents"), and such default continues after the holder of this Note gives Makers notice of such default and the time within which it must be cured, as may be required by law or by written agreement, then the holder of this Note may, at its option, declare the unpaid principal balance hereof and accrued, unpaid interest thereon immediately due and payable in full without notice of any kind. Makers and each surety, endorser, and guarantor waive all demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, notices of acceleration of maturity, protests, and notices of protests and all other notices of whatever kind, to the extent permitted by law. If any one or more of this Note, the Security Agreement or any of the Other Documents are given to an attorney for collection or enforcement, or if suit is brought for collection or enforcement, or if this Note is collected through probate, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceeding, then Makers shall pay the holder of this Note all costs of collection and enforcement, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, of not less than 10% of the amount due under this Note, in addition to other amounts due. It is the intention of Makers and Payee to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws. Interest on the debt evidenced by this Note, however denominated, shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, collected or received under applicable law; any interest collected or received in excess of such maximum nonusurious amount shall be deemed a mistake and credited against the unpaid principal balance hereof then outstanding or, if the principal hereof has been repaid, refunded to Makers, and the effective interest rate and amount applicable to this Note shall automatically be reduced to the maximum nonusurious contract rate and amount of interest allowed for this Note under applicable law. The foregoing provision shall override all demands and charges, the effect of all prepayments, and all contrary provisions, if any, in this Note, the Security Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Maker is jointly and severally liable for all obligations set forth by this Note. It is the express understanding of the Makers and Payee that any judgment for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or interest thereon will be enforced first against the collateral furnished Page 3 of 5 4 pursuant to the Security Agreement (the "Collateral") and, second, only to the extent that the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any interest thereon is not satisfied by the Collateral, against Richard G. Rawson and Dawn Rawson, or either of them personally or any property of Richard G. Rawson and Dawn Rawson or either of them to the full extent of such deficiency, but not against RDKB Rawson, L.P. or, except for the Collateral, any of its property, in any action to collect any amount payable hereunder or to enforce performance of any of the other provisions of the Security Agreement or any of the Other Documents; provided, however: (a) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or impairing enforcement against the Collateral or otherwise prohibiting Payee from exercising any and all remedies which this Note, the Security Agreement or the Other Documents permit, so long as the exercise of any remedy shall only extend to execution against or recovery out of any property of Richard G. Rawson and Dawn Rawson, or either of them in addition to the Collateral in any action to foreclose or to collect any amounts payable hereunder at such time as the Collateral is fully exhausted and then only to the extent any deficiency was not satisfied by the Collateral; (b) Makers shall be fully and personally liable, jointly and severally, for any and all costs, expenses and other sums payable to third parties (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and court costs) paid or incurred by Payee to enforce this Note, to protect or enforce Payee's security interest in the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the Security Agreement, or to enforce the Other Documents, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent per annum.
