(g) Enforcement of the Note; Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial.
(i) | Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note and the rights and obligations arising under this Note, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment or arbitral award or resolution in respect of this Note, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the courts of the State of Florida located in Broward County, Florida or in the event (but only in the event) that such courts do not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court sitting in Broward County, Florida (the “Selected Courts”). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the Selected Courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Note or any of the transactions contemplated by this Note in any court other than the Selected Courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Note, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Selected Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with the provisions of this Note; (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum; (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper; or (iii) this Note, or the subject matter of this Note, may not be enforced in or by the Selected Courts. | |
(ii) | EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. | |
(iii) | The Holder hereby expressly acknowledges that the agreements and restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests, that the Company would not have entered into this Note in the absence of such agreements and restrictions, and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable harm to the Company. The Holder agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, and specific performance of, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of, the agreements and restrictions contained herein, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. The Holder irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of this Note may be brought in the Selected Courts, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Selected Courts in any such proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any Selected Court. |

(h) Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party hereto is required to engage in litigation against any other Party, either as plaintiff or as defendant, in order to enforce or defend any rights under this Note, and such litigation results in a final judgment in favor of such Party (“Prevailing Party”), then the party or parties against whom said final judgment is obtained shall reimburse the Prevailing Party for all direct, indirect or incidental expenses incurred, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees, court costs and other expenses incurred throughout all negotiations, trials or appeals undertaken in order to enforce the Prevailing Party’s rights hereunder.
(i) Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding. It is the intention of the Parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.
(j) Parties in Interest. This Note shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Note, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person or entity any rights or remedies of any nature under or by reason of this Note.
(k) Severability; Expenses; Further Assurances. If any term, condition or other provision of this Note is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Note shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Note is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Note so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Note be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Note, each Party shall be responsible for the expenses it may incur in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Note. The Parties shall from time to time do and perform any additional acts and execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments that may be required by Law or reasonably requested by any Party to establish, maintain or protect its rights and remedies under, or to effect the intents and purposes of, this Note.
(l) Execution in Counterparts, Electronic Transmission. This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. The signature of any Party which is transmitted by any reliable electronic means such as, but not limited to, a photocopy, electronically scanned or facsimile machine, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature or an original document.
(m) No Assignment. This Note may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party in its sole discretion.
(n) Currency. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.
