the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, 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.       Jurisdiction.  EACH
PARTY HERETO AGREES 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 PARTY

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.
