Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Note may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by UPDI and Atmel.  No failure or delay by Atmel in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.  A waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.


 


In addition to any rights and remedies of Atmel provided by law, Atmel shall have the right, without prior notice to UPDI, any such notice being expressly waived by UPDI to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default, to set-off and apply against the principal balance outstanding under this Note and any accrued interest thereon, whether matured or unmatured, owed by UPDI to Atmel, any amount owing from Atmel to UPDI.

Atmel agrees promptly to notify UPDI after any such set-off and application made by Atmel, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
