8. Waiver. The Company hereby waives demand, presentment, protest, notice and demand and non-payment in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of this Note. Any failure or delay of Yakov to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any other time or times.

If for any reason any provisions of this Note shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions thereof in any jurisdiction.

10. Amendment. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Note nor consent to departure by Company therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Company and Yakov, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

11. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Yakov to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

This Note shall be binding on the Company and the Company’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Yakov and its successors and assigns. This Note may be assigned by Yakov.
