14.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or be invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Note, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

15.    Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Holder under this Note shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Holder by virtue of any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Holder’s rights hereunder. The Company waives any right to require Holder to proceed against any person or entity or to exhaust any collateral or to pursue any remedy in Holder’s power.

16.    No Waiver. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or any delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy of the Holder.
