No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
 
This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder in accordance with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement.  This Note shall not be assigned and none of the obligations related hereunder shall be delegated by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder.

payable hereunder is in excess of the amount which the Holder may legally collect under the then applicable usury laws, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the payment of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest or, if all principal shall previously have been paid, promptly repaid by the Holder to the Company.
 
The Company and any endorsers of this Note hereby waive diligence, presentment, protest, demand and notice of every kind and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand hereunder.
 
This Note shall be governed by the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York.
 
Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, such illegal or invalid term or provision shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable.
