To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such the Lender may have.

SECTION 10.8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor the Lender (except as provided in Section 10.9) shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other.

SECTION 10.9. Assignments and Participations. The Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Notes held by it), whether pursuant to a sale of participations or otherwise.

SECTION 10.10. Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between the Borrower or the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made in respect of an amount due under any Loan Document or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Notes or any other Loan Document or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as a result of any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of or compliance with any provision hereof or of any of such Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due or at any other time shall involve exceeding the amount permitted to be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Lender under applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled or complied with shall be reduced to the limit prescribed by such applicable usury law, and if, from any such circumstance, the Lender shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied, in the Lender’s sole discretion, to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Notes or the amounts owing on other Obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lender under any Loan Document and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and the amounts owing on other Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under any Loan Document, as the case may be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if at any time the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall not reduce the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of such Notes below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, taken in the aggregate, equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest rate had at all times been in effect and not been reduced. In the event that any rate of interest under the Notes or any Loan Document is reduced due to the effect of this Section 10.10 and there is a subsequent increase in the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest rate shall, automatically without any action of the Borrower or Lender, be increased to the then applicable Highest Lawful Rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 10.10 shall control and supersede every other provision of all Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in any Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party or in any instrument contemplated thereby, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained therein, and any other application thereof, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 10.12. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state.

SECTION 10.13. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING OF A COPY THEREOF (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.3 HEREOF OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.3.

(d) THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 10.14. Reserved.

SECTION 10.15. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Borrower promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the Issue Date until the principal balance thereof is paid in full. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note from and including the Issue Date to and including the Maturity Date at the rate or rates, and shall be due and payable on the dates and paid in accordance with the terms and conditions, set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Payments of principal and interest, and all Fees, and amounts due with respect to costs and expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement, shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim to the Lender to the account maintained by the Lender not later than 11:59 a.m. (New York time) on the dates on which such payments shall become due pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement. Interest due under the Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each succeeding month, commencing one month from the Issue Date, at the Interest Rate, in cash.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall be payable at the Default Rate.

At its option, Borrower may make prepayments of principal hereof without penalty, in whole or in part, at any time, provided that on the date of each such prepayment Borrower shall pay all then accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount hereof. The Obligations of the Borrower under this Note and any additional note issued hereunder are secured by the Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and are entitled to the benefit of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and are subject to all of the agreements, terms and conditions therein combined.

If any payment of principal or cash interest on this Note shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing cash interest in connection with such payment.

This Note is the Note provided for in, and is entitled to the benefits of the Loan and Security Agreement, which, among other things, contain provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events, for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions and with the effect therein specified, and provisions to the effect that no provision of the Loan Agreement or this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.

The Borrower and any and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally waive grace, demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor or default, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and diligence in collecting and bringing of suit against any party hereto, and agree to all renewals, extensions or partial payments hereon and to any release or substitution of security hereof, in whole or in part, with or without notice, before or after maturity.
