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. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
