without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.


 


13.

THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY THE HOLDER PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE SHALL PROPERLY (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY) LIE
IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA.  BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH

17.        
Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Note to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including,
without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed
the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note or any other applicable law. In the event the total
liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions
or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of
interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction
governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further
agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder
immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder hereof
had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and
from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess
of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding.
It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge
or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable
law.


 


18.        
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.
