In addition to payment of the Principal Amount, if there is a default in this Promissory Note, the Holder shall be entitled to recover from the Obligor all the Holder’s costs of collection, including the Holder’s attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees and legal assistants’ fees (whether incurred in connection with any judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, appeals or other proceedings and whether such fees or expenses arise before proceedings are commenced or after entry of any judgment), and all other costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith.

- Demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against any party, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold any Obligor liable hereunder; and
