In addition, Borrower will have first right of refusal to purchase any property obtained from Borrower and the right to match any bona-fide offer. |
8. | Legal Fees.

11. | Conflicting Agreements. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and any other document related to the loan evidenced by the Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail. |
12. | Severability. If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent under applicable law, such provision shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. |
13. | Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Arizona. |
14. | Interest Savings Clause. If any interest payment due hereunder is determined to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of each interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall instead be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of the obligations evidenced by this Note. |
15. | Waiver. The Borrower and Lender hereby expressly waive presentment, demand for payment, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any other formality. |
