                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

OVERDUE INSTRUMENT (§ 8.3A-304)

a. An instrument payable on demand becomes overdue at the earliest of the
following times:

   1. on the day after the day demand for payment is duly made;

   2. if the instrument is a check, ninety days after its date; or

   3. if the instrument is not a check, when the instrument has been outstanding
   for a period of time after its date which is unreasonably long under the
   circumstances of the particular case in light of the nature of the instrument
   and usage of the trade.

b. With respect to an instrument payable at a definite time the following rules
apply:

   1. If the principal is payable in installments and a due date has not been
   accelerated, the instrument becomes overdue upon default under the instrument
   for nonpayment of an installment, and the instrument remains overdue until the
   default is cured.

   2. If the principal is not payable in installments and the due date has not
   been accelerated, the instrument becomes overdue on the day after the due
   date.

   3. If a due date with respect to principal has been accelerated, the
   instrument becomes overdue on the day after the accelerated due date.

c. Unless the due date of principal has been accelerated, an instrument does not
become overdue if there is default in payment of interest but no default in
payment of principal.
