All rights and remedies provided in this Secured Promissory Note, the Guarantee, the Security Agreement or any law shall be available to the World Focus and shall be cumulative.

The Company hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, and protest, notice of demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Secured Promissory Note, and all other notices or demands of any kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement hereof, and hereby consents to any delays, extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted or consented to by the Noteholders with respect to the time of payment or any other provision hereof or of the Security Agreement.

No course of dealing between the Company and the World Focus or any other Noteholder or Noteholder Party and no delay or failure in exercising any rights hereunder in respect thereof shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Noteholder Party.

This Secured Promissory Note, and the indebtedness of the Company to the World Focus evidenced hereby, shall not be subject to any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, each of which is hereby expressly waived by the Company with respect to this Secured Promissory Note and such indebtedness.
