3.   No Waiver of Payee's Rights. All payments of principal shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, nor any partial or single exercise of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver thereof or of any other option, power or right, and no waiver on the part of the Payee of any of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver of any other option, power or right. Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest, and all notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note. Acceptance by the Payee of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit the right of the Payee to require full payment of all sums due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.







4.   Modifications. No term or provision contained herein may be modified, amended or waived except by written agreement or consent signed by the party to be bound thereby.







5.   Cumulative Rights and Remedies; Usury. The rights and remedies of Payee expressed herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies otherwise available under this Note, the Security Agreement, the Guarantee or applicable law (including at equity). The election of Payee to avail itself of any one or more remedies shall not be a bar to any other available remedies, which Maker agrees Payee may take from time to time. If it shall be found that any interest due hereunder arising from an Event of Default shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law.







6.   Collection Expenses. If Payee shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce this Note, then Maker shall reimburse Payee for its costs of collection and reasonable attorneys fees incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

If any provision of this Note is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in any way invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

In such event, Maker may require the Payee to deliver to Maker an affidavit of lost instrument and customary indemnity in respect thereof as a condition to the delivery of any such new promissory note. Any costs incurred pursuant to this paragraph shall be the responsibility of the Payee.







10.   Due Authorization. This Note has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Maker and is the legal obligation of Maker, enforceable against Maker in accordance with its terms.  The shares of the Maker’s common stock if issued to Payee, when issued will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
