8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 The failure of Lender to exercise any option herein provided upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option in the event of any continuing or subsequent Event of Default. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the maturity of all or any part of the Indebtedness may be postponed or extended and that any covenants and conditions contained in this Note or in any of the other Loan Documents may be waived or modified without prejudice to the liability of any Borrower on this Note or the other Loan Documents.
8.2 When this Note becomes due, by acceleration or otherwise, Lender may, at its option, demand, sue for, collect, or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable with reference to property held as security herefor. Lender shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the property held as security herefor against prior parties, which each Borrower hereby assumes to do. The provisions hereof shall apply and be controlling as to all property which may at any time be security herefor.
8.3 Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to apply all or any portion of the balance of any account maintained by such Borrower with Lender to the payment or reduction, in whole or in part, of any and all the Indebtedness then due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to setoff all obligations of each Borrower to Lender hereunder, whether matured or unmatured, against all amounts owing to such Borrower by Lender, whether or not then due and payable, and all other funds or property of such Borrower on deposit with or otherwise held in the custody of Lender, all without notice to or demand on such Borrower, such notice and demand being hereby waived.
8.4 Presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and diligence in bringing suit against any party hereto are hereby waived by each Borrower.
8.5 Each Borrower hereby waives all relief from any and all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted.
8.6 The obligations evidenced or created by this Note, as well as all waivers of rights by each Borrower contained herein shall effectively bind and be the obligations and waivers of any and all others who may at any time become liable for the payment of all or any part of this Note, including, without limitation, all endorsers and guarantors.
8.7 Nothing herein contained, nor in any of the other Loan Documents, shall be construed or so operate as to require any Borrower, or any person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, to pay interest in an amount or at a rate greater than the highest rate permissible under applicable law. Should any interest or other charges paid by any Borrower, or any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by Lender, and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the unrepaid advances of the principal sum, and any portion of said excess which exceeds the unrepaid advances of the principal sum shall be paid by Lender to such Borrower and any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall such Borrower or any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, be required to pay interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the Indebtedness, including the period of any renewal or extensions thereof, so that interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that the interest rate to be charged hereunder ever exceeds the highest rate permissible under applicable law, thereby causing the interest accruing on the Indebtedness to be limited to such rate, then any subsequent reduction in the interest rate, to which any Borrower would otherwise be entitled, shall be held in abeyance until the total amount of interest accrued on the Indebtedness equals the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Indebtedness had the interest rate not been limited to the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
8.8 Each Borrower shall, within five (5) business days of written request from Lender, provide (or cause to be provided) any documentation or information reasonably requested by Lender for the purpose of verifying the identity of such Borrower, the Guarantor, or any person that has authority over or control of such Borrower and/or the Guarantor, in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act as that Act may be amended from time to time.
