      of
      the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time. No amendment
      to
      or modification of this Promissory Note shall be binding upon Holder unless
      in
      writing and signed by Holder. Any provision of this Promissory Note found to

      may sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or assign this Promissory Note without
      the
      consent of Maker. This Promissory Note shall apply to and bind the successors
