    D. pursue
      any or all such other rights or remedies as Payee may have under applicable
      law
      or in equity; provided,
      however,
      that

      of
      the notice requirements or grace periods expressly provided for hereunder (if

    5. MISCELLANEOUS

     

    5.1. Further
      Assurances.
      Maker
      shall execute and acknowledge (or cause to be executed and acknowledged) and
      deliver to Payee all reasonable documents, and take all actions, reasonably
      required by Payee from time to time to confirm the rights created or now
or
      hereafter intended to be created under this Note, to protect and further the
      validity, priority and enforceability of this Note, provided,
      however,
      that no
      such further actions, assurances and confirmations shall increase Maker’s
      obligations under this Note.

     

    5.2. Modification;
      Waiver in Writing.
      No
      modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver (a
“Modification”)
      of any

      in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the
      party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall
      be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which
      given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand
      on, Maker shall entitle Maker to any other or future notice or demand in the
      same, similar or other circumstances. Payee does not hereby agree to, nor does
      Payee hereby commit itself to, enter into any Modification.

    5.3. Costs
      of Collection.
      Maker
      agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of collection incurred by Payee,
      in addition to principal, interest and late or delinquency charges (including,
      without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and including
      all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the pursuit by
      Payee of any of its rights or remedies referred to in Section 4 hereof or the
      protection of or realization of collateral or in connection with any of Payee’s
      collection efforts, whether or not suit on this Note, or any foreclosure
      proceeding is filed, and all such reasonable costs and expenses shall be payable
      on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate thereon, and also shall
      be
      secured by the Pledge Agreement and all other collateral at any time held by
      Payee as security for Maker’s obligations to Payee.

     

    5.4. Maximum
      Amount.

     

    A. It
      is the
      intention of Maker and Payee to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws
      relating to interest from time to time in force, and all agreements between
      Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral
      or
      written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event
      whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall
      the
      amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to Payee as interest hereunder
      or in any other security agreement given to secure the Obligations, or in any
      other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Obligations, exceed
      the
      maximum amount permissible under applicable usury or such other laws (the
“Maximum
      Amount”).
      If
      under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at
      the
      time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending
      the
      Maximum Amount, then, ipso
      facto,
      the
      obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Amount. For the
      purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable
      hereunder, in respect of laws pertaining
      to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to Payee for
      the
      use, forbearance or detention of the Obligations outstanding from time to time
      shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
      allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of this Note
      until payment in full of all of the Obligations, so that the actual rate of
      interest on account of the Obligations is uniform through the term hereof.
      The
      terms and provisions of this Section 5.4 shall control and supersede every
      other
      provision of all agreements between Maker and Payee.

     

    B. If
      under
      any circumstances Payee shall ever receive an amount that would exceed the
      Maximum Amount, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the Loan
      Amount owing hereunder and any other obligation of Maker in favor of Payee,
      and
      shall be so applied in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, or if such excessive
      interest exceeds the Loan Amount and any other obligation of Maker in favor
      of
      Payee, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and
      shall be refunded to Maker.

     

    5.5. Waivers;
      WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, ETC.
      Maker
      hereby expressly and unconditionally waives presentment, demand, protest, notice
      of protest or notice of any kind, including, without limitation, any notice
      of
      intention to accelerate and notice of acceleration, except as expressly provided
      here-in. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY PAYEE
      ON
      THIS NOTE, MAKER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND EVERY
      RIGHT
      IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

    5.6. Governing
      Law.
      This
      Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
      of
      New York and the applicable laws of the United States of America. In any action
      brought under or arising out of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Maker
      hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any competent state or federal court
      within the County of Nassau, State of New York, and hereby irrevocably consents
      to service of process on Maker in any such action or proceeding by the mailing
      of copies thereof to Maker by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
      to
      Maker at its address for notices specified in Section 5.10. Nothing in this
      Note
      will affect the right of Payee to serve process on Maker in any other manner
      permitted by law.

     

    5.7. Headings.
      The
      Section headings in this Note are included herein for convenience of reference
      only and shall not constitute a part of this Note for any other
      purpose.

     

    5.8. Assignment.
      Payee
      shall not transfer, sell, assign or grant any participation in this Note, or
      any
      of the other Loan Documents, or the obligations hereunder, to any Person other
      than an affiliate of Payee that is directly or indirectly controlled by Payee,
      unless Payee obtains the prior written consent of Maker to any such transaction,
      which consent may be withheld in Maker’s sole and absolute discretion. All
      references to “Payee” hereunder shall be deemed
      to
      include the permitted assigns of Payee. In the event that the result of such
      permitted transfer, sale, assignment or participation is that Maker shall be
      obligated to make the payments required hereunder to an entity other than Payee,
      then
      Payee
      shall provide at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Maker
      of
      such transfer, sale, assignment or participation. 

     

    5.9. Severability. Wherever
      possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner
as
      to
      be
      effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note
      shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
      be
      ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
      invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
      this
      Note.

     

    5.10. Notices.
      All
      notices shall be deemed to have been properly given if hand delivered or if
      mailed by United States registered or certified mail, with return receipt
      requested, postage prepaid, or by United States Express Mail or other comparable
      overnight courier service to the parties at the addresses set forth below (or
      at
      such other addresses as shall be given in writing by any party to the others).
      A
      notice shall be deemed to have been given: in the case of hand delivery, at
      the
      time of delivery; in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered
      or
      two Business Days after mailing; or in the case of overnight courier service,
      on
      the Business Day after the same was sent. A party receiving a notice which
      does
      not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this section may
      elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly
      given.
