Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, for a hearing on the amount of the attorney's fee to be awarded to the plaintiff, and thereafter for entry of an appropriate judgment.
The plaintiff made a prima facie showing of its entitlement to summary judgment pursuant to CPLR 3213 by establishing the existence of an instrument for the payment of a sum certain and the defendant's failure to make the payments called for by its terms ( see Juste v Niewdach, 26 AD3d 416). In opposition, the defendant failed to raise a triable issue of fact or a meritorious defense ( see Black Rock, Inc. v Z Best Car Wash, Inc., 27 AD3d 409). Contrary to the defendant's contention, the instrument at issue did not require any additional performance on the part of the plaintiff as a condition precedent to repayment, nor did it require the plaintiff to pursue its claim against the defendant's insure r ( see Afco Credit Corp. v Boropark Twelfth Ave. Realty Corp., 187 AD2d 634).
Since, the instrument did not provide for a sum certain with respect to the recovery of an attorney's fee in the event of a default in payment on the instrument, a hearing must be held to determine the amount of such award ( see Borg v Belair Ridge Dev. Corp., 270 AD2d 377, 378).
