k. Waiver
of
Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it
may
lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any
manner whatsoever claim, and shall resist any and all efforts to be compelled

or
other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein
and
therein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which
may
effect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit
or
advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of power herein granted to the holders of the Notes, but
shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such
law
had been enacted. All agreements between the Company and holders of the Notes,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason or demand or
acceleration of the final maturity date of the Notes or prepayment or otherwise,
shall the interest contracted for (or any original issue discount that would
be
determined to be interest), charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to
holders exceed the maximum amount permissible under the laws of the State of
New
York (hereinafter the “Applicable Law”). If, from any circumstances whatsoever,
interest (or any original issue discount that would be determined to be
interest) would otherwise be payable to any holder of the Notes in excess of
the
maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, the interest payable to such
holder shall be reduced to the maximum amount permissible under Applicable
Law,
and if from any circumstances such holder shall ever receive anything deemed
interest by the Applicable Law in excess of the maximum amount permissible
under
the Applicable Law, an amount equal to the excessive interest shall be applied
to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of interest,
or
if such excessive amount of interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of
principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to the Company as applicable.
All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Notes shall, to
the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout full period (including any renewal or extension) until payment in
full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall
not
exceed the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law.
10

Brokers. No fees or commissions will be payable by the Company to any broker,
financial advisor, finder, investment banker, bank or employee with respect

made by or on behalf of any Persons for such fees payable by the Company of
a
type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
