The Borrower agrees to pay to the <br /> County reasonable attorney's fees not exceeding a sum equal to fifteen per cent (15%) of the <br /> outstanding balance owing on the Note, plus all other reasonable expenses incurred by the <br /> County in exercising any of the County's rights and remedies upon default. <br /> COVENANTS <br /> All parties to this Note, including the maker and any sureties, endorsers or guarantors, <br /> hereby waive (to the extent permitted bylaw) protest, presentment, notice of dishonor and notice <br /> of acceleration of maturity and agree to continue to remain bound for the repayment of principal, <br /> interest and all other sums due under this Note, notwithstanding any change or changes by way <br /> of release, surrender, exchange, modification or substitution of any security for this Note or by <br /> way of any extensions of time for the payment of this Note; and all such parties waive (to the <br /> extent permitted by law) all and every kind of notice of such change or changes and agree that <br /> the same may be made without notice or consent of any of them. <br /> GOVERNING LAW <br /> The Borrower and the County intend that North Carolina law shall govern all matters <br /> related to this Note. <br /> RIGHTS CUMULATIVE <br /> The rights and remedies of the County as provided in this Note and any instrument <br /> securing this Note shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively, or together <br /> against the property described in the UCC Financing Statement or any other funds, property or <br /> security held by the County for payment or security, in the sole discretion of the County. The <br /> failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall not be a waiver or release of such rights or <br /> remedies or the right to exercise any of them at another time. <br /> AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION <br /> No waiver by the County of any of the terms and conditions of this Note shall be effective <br /> unless it is in writing and signed by the County.
