Lender are hereby and shall automatically be limited so that, after taking into
account all amounts deemed interest, the interest contracted for, charged or
received by Lender shall never exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, (b) in calculating
whether any interest exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate, all such interest shall be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread over the full amount and term of all
principal indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and (c) if through any contingency
or event, Lender receives or is deemed to receive interest in excess of the
Maximum Legal Rate, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied toward
payment of the principal (without payment of any prepayment penalty or premium)
of any and all then outstanding indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.
ARTICLE 5: NO ORAL CHANGE
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 Borrower or
Agent or any Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought.

of the Debt do hereby jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for

shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or
affect the liability of Borrower, and any other Person who may become liable for
the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Loan Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, in each case except to the extent that such
agreement made between Agent, Lender and Borrower, or any other person or party
who has become liable under the Loan Documents, as applicable, expressly states
otherwise. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of
the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Agent or Lender to take further
action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Borrower is a partnership or limited
liability company, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and be
applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals or entities

be applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders comprising, or the
officers and directors relating to, the corporation, and the term “Borrower” as
used herein, shall include any alternative or successor corporation, but any
predecessor corporation shall not be relieved of liability hereunder. Nothing in
the foregoing two sentences shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of,

in the Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document.
