Legal Question in Business Law in New York

promissory notes

I have a promissory note signed by my employer for money loaned for the purchase of materials and utilities to keep our business running. There is a provision in the note stating that the lender cannot avoid payment by utilizing bankruptcy. Could this note be considered as secured vs. non-secured with me as a creditor?

Re: promissory notes

That term would be illegal, void against public policy, and not enforceable. You cannot agree to avoid a law.
