No delay or omission on the part of Payee in exercising any right hereunder or under any other instrument now or hereafter given to evidence or secure the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate as a waiver of such right, or any other right hereunder, or under any of said other agreements.

          21. Waiver of Presentment, Notice and Demand. The Maker waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment, protest of nonpayment and consent to any and all renewals, extensions or modifications which might be made by Payee as to the time of payment of this Note, from time to time, and further agree that the security for this Note, or any portion thereof may, from time to time, be modified or released, in whole or in part, without affecting the liability of any party liable hereon or for the payment of this Note.

          (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW (OTHER THAN THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW §5-1401)).

          (b) THE MAKER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN SITTING IN OTTAWA COUNTY AND ANY FEDERAL AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND THE MAKER AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE PAYEE EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH MICHIGAN COURT, OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE MAKER AND THE PAYEE AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

EACH OF THE MAKER AND THE PAYEE (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MAKER AND THE PAYEE HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS NOTE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          24. Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions in this Note or any instrument securing the same, is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note or securing instrument to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable so that the remainder of this Note and any such securing instrument shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained herein or therein, and that the rights, obligations and interests of the Maker and Payee under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect.
