interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or

connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the conflicts of law
provisions of the State of Nevada or of any other state.

determined to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the validity, lawfulness
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
14. Excessive Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to
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.
