v11. Maker fails to keep or observe any other material promise or covenant herein or in the Settlement Agreement of even date herewith.

b.The failure to exercise the foregoing option upon the happening of one or more Events of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time, and no such failure shall nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express written consent of Payee.

6.
Default Interest; Late Charg . If any installment of principal and/or interest is not paid on or before the last day of the Cure Period or if the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest is not paid on or before the earlier to occur of the (i) Maturity Date, or, (ii) any accelerated maturity date as permitted hereby, all unpaid amounts of this Note, including principal and interest, shall thereafter bear interest at a rate of interest (the "Default Rate") equal to the Highest Lawful Rate; provided, however, that the obligation to pay such interest is subject to the limitation contained in the following paragraph. Without limitation of the rights of Payee if a payment is not paid on or before the last day of the Cure Period and without limitation of the obligation of Maker to pay such payments on the due dates thereof, at the option of Payee, Maker will pay a reasonable late charge (the "Late Charge") as required by Payee, not exceeding five percent (5%) of any installment of principal that is not paid on or before the 3rd day of the month in which it is due to cover the extra expenses involved in handling delinquent payments, subject to the limitation contained in the following paragraph.


7.
Compliance with Law. All agreements between Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the Maturity Date, or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Payee in regard to the loan evidenced by this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Payee in excess of the

maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, the interest payable to Payee shall be reduced to the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance Payee shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, an amount equal to the excessive intere st shall be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive amount of interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Payee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated , and spread throughout the full period (including any renewal or extension) until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. Payee expressly disavows any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between Maker and Payee.

9.
Cumulative Rights. No delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. Enforcement by the holder of this Note of any security for the payment hereof shall not constitute any election by it of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other remedy available to it.
