    17.  Remedies,
      Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.
      The
      Lender’s remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
      all other remedies available to the Lender under this Note, at law or in equity
      (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief),
      no
      remedy of the Lender contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
      with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit
      the Lender’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to
      comply with the terms of this Note. No remedy conferred under this Note upon
      the
      Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy available to the Lender,
      pursuant to the terms of this Note or otherwise. No single or partial exercise
      by the Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other
      or further exercise thereof. The failure of the Lender to exercise any right
      or
      remedy under this Note or otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or
      remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. Every right and remedy of the
      Lender under any document executed in connection with this transaction may
      be
      exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the
      Lender. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
      hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender and that the remedy at
      law
      for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in
      the
      event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Lender shall be entitled,
      in
      addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
      breach, and specific performance without the necessity of showing economic
      loss
      and without any bond or other security being required. 

    


    18.  Governing
      Law; Jurisdiction.
      All
      questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
      of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth
      of
      Virginia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
      provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any other
      jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
      other than the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
      to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of
      Virginia sitting in Richmond, Virginia and the United States Federal District
      Court for the District of Washington, D.C., for the adjudication of any dispute
      hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
      contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
      agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
      not
      personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
      or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
      suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
      personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
      suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
      address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
      shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
      Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
      process in any manner permitted by law.

    19.  No
      Inconsistent Agreements.
      None of
      the parties hereto will hereafter enter into any agreement, which is
      inconsistent with the rights granted to the parties in this Note.

    


    20.  Third
      Parties.
      Nothing
      herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon
      or
      give to any person or entity, other than the parties to this Note and their
      respective permitted successor and assigns, any rights or remedies under or
      by
      reason of this Note.

    


    21.  Waiver
      of Jury Trial.
      AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO LOAN TO THE COMPANY THE MONIES
      HEREUNDER, THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
      PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER
      DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

    


    22.  Entire
      Agreement.  This
      Note (including any recitals hereto) set forth the entire understanding of
      the
      parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be modified
      or
      affected by any offer, proposal, statement or representation, oral or written,
      made by or for any party in connection with the negotiation of the terms hereof,
      and may be modified only by instruments signed by all of the parties
      hereto.
