(a) Monthly Repayment.

(g) Notices. Any demand or notice hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto shall be in writing and duly given if delivered to the Debtor (at its address set forth in the heading of this Note) or to the Secured Party (at its address set forth in the heading of this Note). A notice shall, for all purposes, be deemed given and received: (i) if hand delivered to a party against receipted copy, when the copy of the notice is receipted; (ii) if given by a nationally recognized and reputable overnight delivery service company, the day on which the notice is delivered by the delivery service company to such party; or (iii) if given by certified mail, two (2) business days after it is posted with the United States Postal Service.

The Debtor knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives the rights it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Note, any document contemplated to be executed in connection with this Note, or any underlying matter, course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written), or action (each an “Action”).
(i) Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Debtor knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally (i) consents in each Action commenced by the Secured Party to the nonexclusive personal jurisdiction of any court that is either a court of record of the State of Delaware or a court of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, (ii) waives each objection to the laying of venue of any such Action and any claim that such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) waives personal service of process in each such Action, and (iv) consents to the making of service of process in each such Action by registered mail directed to the Debtor at the last address of the Debtor shown in the records relating to this Note maintained by the Secured Party, with such service of process to be deemed completed five (5) days after the mailing thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, may initiate an Action in the courts of any other jurisdiction in which the Debtor may be found or in which any property or asset of the Debtor may be located.
(j) Savings Clause. The agreements made by the Debtor with respect to this Note are expressly limited so that in no event shall the amount of interest received, charged, or contracted for by the Secured Party exceed the highest lawful amount of interest permissible under the laws applicable to the Loan. If at any time performance of any provision of this Note results in the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable laws being exceeded, then the amount of interest received, charged, or contracted for by the Secured Party shall automatically and without further action by any party be deemed to have been reduced to the highest lawful amount of interest then permissible under applicable laws. If the Secured Party shall ever receive, charge, or contract for, as interest, an amount which is unlawful, at the Secured Party's election, the amount of unlawful interest shall be refunded to the Debtor (if actually paid) or applied to reduce the then unpaid amount of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts contracted for, charged, or received under this Note included for the purpose of determining whether the interest rate would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be calculated by allocating and spreading such interest to and over the full stated term of this Note.
