LAWFUL LIMITS
All agreements between Borrower and Holder are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Documents shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and, if from any circumstance Holder shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Holder.

PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR DISHONOR, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PROTEST, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DEMAND, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION OR INTENT TO ACCELERATE AND ALL OTHER NOTICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE, PERFORMANCE, DEFAULT OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE ARE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY XXXXXXXX.
Exercise of Remedies. No delay on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right, power or remedy hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Holder shall at all times have the right to proceed against any portion of the Collateral in such order and in such manner as Holder may deem fit, without waiving any rights with respect to any other security.
