Third-Party Claims.

In the event that the Obligor fails to give the Holder notice of its agreement, as the indemnifying party, to defend within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the claim or demand, or thereafter fails to properly defend, the Holder may, by counsel of its own choosing, upon notice to the Obligor, undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim or demand on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Obligor and at the Obligor’s sole expense. The term “defense” includes all necessary action to protect the Holder prior to trial, during trial and on any appeal. This provision shall supplement and be in addition to any other "hold harmless and indemnify" provision or "indemnity and reimbursement" provision contained in this Note or any other Loan Document.

21.

Limit of validity -Usury Limitation. If for any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note that is in excess of the current limit of validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of validity. Any payments inadvertently charged to Obligor or collected by Holder that would constitute interest in excess of any applicable legal limit shall be applied by Holder to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount due hereunder. It is the intention of Obligor and Holder not to create any obligation in excess of the amount allowable by law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Note.
