any manner or order which the Holder, in their sole discretion, may elect, to
the payment of any other amount required by law and to the payment of any
remaining net proceeds to whomsoever may lawfully be entitled to receive the
same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, without further notice

the Note; in each case simultaneously or consecutively, against or in respect of
Company, all of which rights and remedies shall, to the full extent permitted by

the contrary, this Note is hereby expressly limited so that the interest rate
charged hereunder shall at no time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. If, for any circumstance whatsoever, the interest rate charged
exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the interest rate shall be
reduced to the maximum rate permitted, and if the Holder shall have received an
amount that would cause the interest rate charged to be in excess of the maximum
rate permitted, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to
the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder (without charge for
prepayment) and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal, such excess shall be refunded to the
Company.
