  4  

 

 

(c) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (b) above, upon an Event of Default, Payee may, subject to any requirements of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by Payee, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Payee in its sole discretion may determine.

Maker shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Payee, his successors and assigns, his affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (the “ Indemnified Parties ” and each, an “ Indemnified Party ”) and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, losses, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), of every nature, character and description which such Indemnified Party may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Loan Transactions (except any such amounts sustained or incurred solely as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10 shall remain operative even after the Maturity Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the obligations owing hereunder.

 

11. Amendment; Waiver; Remedies . This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of a party hereto but only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

14. Severability; Usury Laws . In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Note with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Maker be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate which could subject Maker or Payee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum rate which Maker is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Maker is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest payable hereunder shall be computed at such maximum rate.

 

15. Continued Effectiveness; Waiver or Delay .

No failure or delay by Payee in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any reference in this Agreement to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that Maker or any other party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

16. Lost, Mutilated or Stolen Note . Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Maker of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of this Note or cancellation to Maker at its principal office, Maker will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of like tenor containing the same terms as this Note, dated so that there with no loss of interest on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
