limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid

shall be due, shall involve exceeding such amount, then the obligation to be
fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity and if,

Purchase Agreement.

     THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED ON THIS NOTE OR ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR OUT OF ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY
PERSON. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO ACCEPT
