Miscellaneous.
5.1
This Note will bind Borrower and the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of Borrower, and the benefits hereof will inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. All references herein to the “Borrower” and “Lender” will include the respective successors, and assigns thereof; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign, delegate, or transfer its obligations under this Note in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Lender and Lender at any time may assign this Note in whole or in part (but no assignment by the Lender of less than all of this Note will operate to relieve Borrower from any duty to Lender with respect to the unassigned portion of this Note). Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section is void.
5.2
If any provision of this Note is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision and without invalidating any other provision in this Note; provided, however, that if the provision that is the subject of such prohibition or invalidity pertains to repayment of this Note, then, at the option of Lender, all of the obligations hereunder will become immediately due and payable.
5.3
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if from any circumstances whatsoever the fulfillment of any provision of this Note involves transcending the limit of validity prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then the obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to the limit of such validity as provided in such statute or law, so that in no event will any exaction of interest be possible under this Note in excess of the limit of such validity and the right to demand any such excess is hereby expressly waived by Lender. As used in this paragraph, “applicable usury statute” and “applicable law” mean such statute and law in effect on the date hereof, subject to any change therein that results in a higher permissible rate of interest.
5.4
No delay or failure on the part of Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or power hereunder or under applicable law will impair or waive any such right, remedy, or power (or any other right, remedy or power), be considered a waiver of or an acquiescence in any breach, Default, or Event of Default or affect any other or subsequent breach, Default, or Event of Default of the same or a different nature. No waiver of any breach, Default, or Event of Default, nor any modification, waiver,



discharge, or termination of any provision of this Note, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, will be established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing; and no modification, waiver, discharge, termination, or consent will in any event be effective unless the same is in writing, signed by Lender and specifically refers to this Note, and then such modification, waiver, discharge, or termination or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case will entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same or any similar or other circumstance.
5.5
No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy by Lender will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. All remedies hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity are cumulative and none of them will be exclusive of the others or of any other right or remedy. All such rights and remedies may be exercised separately, successively, concurrently, independently, or cumulatively from time to time and as often and in such order as Lender may deem appropriate.
5.6
If at any time all or any part of any payment or transfer of any kind received by Lender with respect to all or any part of this Note is repaid, set aside or invalidated by reason of any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body, or by reason of any agreement, settlement, or compromise of any claim made at any time with respect to the repayment, recovery, setting aside, or invalidation of all or any part of such payment or transfer, Borrower’s obligations under this Note will continue (and/or be reinstated) and Borrower will be and remain liable, and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender for, the amount or amounts so repaid, recovered, set aside, or invalidated and all other claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs, and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by Borrower in reliance upon such payment or transfer, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to Lender’s rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or transfer having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section will survive any termination, cancellation or discharge of this Note.
5.7
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Note.
5.8
