No asserted waiver of any right by Payee shall be enforceable unless such waiver is in writing, executed by Payee.


 


Maker shall be responsible for all documentary stamp taxes, if any, due with respect to the delivery of this Note.


 


The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Note shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado.
