12. Severability. In case any provision (or any part of any provision) contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein but only to the extent such provision (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.
13. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (excluding New York conflicts of laws rules).
14. Jurisdiction; Venue. Maker hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of the State of New York. Maker waives any right to object to the maintenance of any suit or claim in any of the state or federal courts of the State of New York on the basis of improper venue or of inconvenience of forum. Any suit or claim brought by Maker against Payee that is based, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on this Note or any matters relating to this Note, shall be brought in a court only in the State and City of New York.
15. Time. Time is of the essence of this Note.
16. Maximum Rate of Interest. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Maker under this Note (or any other instrument, agreement or other document evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note) shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment of interest by Payee would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the indebtedness evidenced hereby (or applicable to Maker or Payee) limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be
| Ex A-4 |
charged or collected by Payee on this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note which are made for the purposes of determining whether such rate of interest exceeds the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of this Note, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and then to the extent that any excess remains, all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of said excess which exceeds that principal balance shall be paid by Payee to Maker, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall Maker be required to pay any interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
17. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. MAKER AND PAYEE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS NOTE. MAKER AND PAYEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND REPRESENT TO EACH OTHER THAT THESE WAIVERS ARE MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE. MAKER AND PAYEE AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.
