hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under
this Promissory Note. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy conferred to it

acceleration hereof or any charges made hereunder result in the computation or
earning of interest in excess of such legal rate, any and all such excess shall
be and the same is hereby waived by Lender, and any such excess shall be
credited by Lender to the balance hereof.
