17.Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, any and all court or collection costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees whether any suit is filed (i) in connection with the preparation of the Note Documents in an amount up to $175,000.00, (ii) in enforcing this Note and/or any agreement executed in connection herewith, (iii) in collecting amounts due under this Note, or (iv) in preserving any of its rights under this Note or any other related document.

18.Waiver; Extensions.  The Borrower waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor, waives all exemptions, whether homestead or otherwise, as to the obligations evidenced by this Note and all other exemptions provided the Borrower.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower further waives all rights and benefits of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption and appraisement now provided or which may hereafter be provided by law, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement and collection of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any of the Lender’s rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is express and in writing, and no delay or omission by the Lender in exercising, or failure by the Lender on any one or more occasions to exercise, any of the Lender’s rights hereunder or at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the right of acceleration hereunder) shall be construed as a novation of this Note or shall operate as a waiver or prevent the subsequent exercise of any or all of such rights.  Acceptance by the Lender of all or any portion of any sum payable hereunder whether before, on or after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums payable hereunder or to exercise any of the Lender’s rights, powers or remedies hereunder.  A waiver of any right on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of the Lender’s right to insist thereafter upon strict compliance with the terms hereof without previous notice of such intention being given to the Borrower, and no exercise of any right by the Lender shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an election of remedies by the Lender precluding the subsequent exercise by the Lender of any or all of the rights, powers and remedies available to it hereunder or at law or in equity.  The Borrower expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to, or in conflict with, the foregoing.

19.Severability and Amendments.  Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Note.  No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Note nor consent to any departure by the Borrower from any term of this Note, shall in any event be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

20.Notices.  Any notice to the Borrower or the Lender shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by either party and be effective (a) on the day on which delivered personally to such party at the address set forth below (or at such other address as such party shall specify to the other party in writing), (b) if sent by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, on the third Business Day on which it was mailed to such party at such address, (c) if sent by a nationally recognized courier service, on the second Business Day after the day on which it was

21.Limitation on Interest.  The Borrower and the Lender intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Note or any other Note Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 21, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this Section 21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the obligations under the Note Documents.  In no event shall the Borrower or any other person be obligated to pay, or the Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States of America or of any applicable state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the obligations hereunder at the Highest Lawful Rate.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Note or any other Note Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have

14

 


 

accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions contained in this Note or in any other Note Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the term of any obligation under any Note Document is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason the Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrowers obligations to the Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

22.Successors and Assigns; Continuing Security Interest.  The Borrower may not assign this Note or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may assign this Note and/or the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder.

23.Counterparts.  This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts.  Each such counterpart will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same Note.  Receipt of an executed signature page to this Note by facsimile or other electronic transmission will constitute effective delivery thereof.  Electronic records of executed Note Documents maintained by the Lender will be deemed to be originals.

24.Entire Agreement.  This Note, together with the other Note Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties to this Note and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of all such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the parties hereto of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs, or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Lender.

25.Captions.  The captions in this Note are used for means of reference only and shall not affect in any way the interpretation or construction of this Note.

26.Governing Law; Venue.  THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO

15

 


 

PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5‑1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).  ALL LEGAL ACTIONS BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES REGARDING THIS NOTE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LEGAL ACTIONS TO ENFORCE THIS NOTE OR BECAUSE OF A DISPUTE, BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THIS NOTE, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, WHICH COURTS SHALL HAVE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE IN PERSONAM, SUBJECT MATTER AND OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LEGAL ACTIONS.  THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENT AND AGREE THAT VENUE IN SUCH COURTS SHALL BE CONVENIENT AND APPROPRIATE FOR ALL PURPOSES AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

27.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
