3. OPERATIVE PROVISIONS

3.1 Amount Due. As of the Demand Date, the Outstanding Amount is due and owing, exclusive of continuing interest, late charges, and collection costs.

3.2 Demand for Immediate Payment. Creditor hereby demands that Debtor remit the Outstanding Amount in full, together with accrued interest calculated at the Interest Rate, on or before the Payment Due Date.

3.3 Acceptable Payment Methods. Payment shall be made in immediately available funds via:
(a) wire transfer to the following account:
Bank: [ACCOUNT_BANK]
Routing/ABA: [ACCOUNT_ROUTING]
Account No.: [ACCOUNT_NUMBER]; or
(b) such other method as Creditor may approve in writing.

3.4 Conditions Precedent. Receipt by Creditor's bank of collected funds constituting the entire Outstanding Amount shall be a condition precedent to any discharge of Debtor's payment obligations.

3.5 Conditional Payments. Route any check or instrument marked “payment in full,” “full settlement,” or similar language to Arkansas counsel before deposit. A unilateral sentence in this letter does not control the legal effect of a conditional instrument.

4. REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES

4.1 Creditor Representations. Creditor represents that (a) the Outstanding Amount is justly due and owing, and (b) all credits and offsets known to Creditor have been applied.

4.2 Dispute Response. Debtor may identify a disputed entry and provide supporting records. Silence does not constitute an acknowledgment, waiver, or new promise to pay.

4.3 Survival. All representations and warranties herein survive payment in full and any subsequent settlement.

5. COVENANTS & RESTRICTIONS

5.1 No New Covenant. This letter requests payment; it does not create a new promise or covenant.

5.2 Supporting Records. A response may include documents supporting any claimed credit, offset, payment, or dispute.

5.3 No Asset Restriction. This demand does not restrain a transfer, create a lien, or impose an asset covenant.

6. DEFAULT & REMEDIES

6.1 Requested Payment Date. Failure to remit the Outstanding Amount by the Payment Due Date means only that this demand was not satisfied by the requested date. Whether that failure constitutes a contractual or legal default is determined solely by the underlying Agreement and applicable law.

6.2 Cure Period. The underlying agreement and applicable law determine whether notice or a cure period is required.

6.3 Remedies. If payment or a documented proposal is not received, Creditor will evaluate remedies available under the underlying documents and applicable law. No lawsuit, interest award, fee award, attachment, lien, acceleration, or other remedy is represented as automatic.

6.4 Reservation of Rights. Creditor reserves all rights, claims, and remedies, at law or in equity, none of which are waived by the issuance of this Demand.

7. RISK ALLOCATION

7.1 Disclaimer of Duty to Mitigate. Nothing herein shall impose on Creditor any duty to mitigate damages beyond that required by applicable law.

7.2 Damages. This letter does not represent that incidental, consequential, exemplary, or other additional damages are recoverable.

8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

8.1 Governing Law. The underlying agreement and applicable choice-of-law rules determine governing law; this unilateral demand does not create a new choice-of-law agreement.

8.2 Forum. The underlying agreement and applicable jurisdiction and venue law determine any forum; this unilateral demand does not create consent to a court.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Corrections. Creditor may correct or supplement this demand without representing that the letter is a contract.

9.2 Assignment. The underlying agreement and applicable law determine assignment rights; this letter creates none.

9.3 No Contract Terms. Severability, survival, counterparts, and similar agreement clauses are intentionally omitted because this letter is a demand, not a new contract.

9.4 Underlying Agreement Controls. Nothing in this letter supersedes or amends the underlying agreement or a later signed settlement.

9.5 No Debtor Signature Required. The creditor signs the demand only to identify its sender; debtor acceptance is not requested by this form.

10. EXECUTION BLOCK

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby issues this Demand as of the Demand Date.
