Notwithstanding that it is not intended hereby to charge interest at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate of interest permitted to be charged to the Maker under applicable law, if interest in excess of such maximum legal rate shall be payable hereunder, then, ipso facto, such rate shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate so that no amounts shall be charged which are in excess thereof, and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such highest lawful rate has been received, such excess shall be applied by the Holder in reduction of the outstanding principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Maker shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs of suit and preparation for such suit (and whether at trial or appellate level), in the event the unpaid principal amount of this Note, or any payment of interest is not paid when due, or in the event Holder is made party to any litigation because of the existence of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or if at any time the Holder should incur any attorneys’ fees in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (or other similar laws for the protection of debtors generally) in order to collect any indebtedness hereunder and whether through courts of original jurisdiction, as well as in courts of appellate jurisdiction, or through a bankruptcy court or other legal proceedings.
11. Construction; Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Note shall be governed as to its validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by and in accordance with the laws and interpretations thereof of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Nevada, and agrees that any dispute litigated shall be commenced and resolved in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, or in any manner arising in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated hereby or involving the parties hereto whether at law or equity and under any contract, tort or any other claim whatsoever and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing or faxing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices as listed in this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
This Note has been negotiated, executed, made and delivered in the County of Davidson, State of Tennessee, where all advances and repayments shall be made. It is agreed that this Note, and all Loan Documents shall not become effective until Maker signs and ratifies them, thus causing this Note and all Loan Documents to be deemed executed in Tennessee. Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of terms in singular and masculine form shall include in all instances singular and plural number and masculine, feminine and neuter gender.
12. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note or any future amendment hereto shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Note or such other agreement, and in lieu of each such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Note a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid, legal and enforceable.
13. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each and every covenant, condition, term and provision hereof.
13.1 Maker and any endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereof or hereon hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of non-payment or dishonor and of protest, and agree to remain bound until the principal sum of this Note or the amount thereof outstanding and interest and all other sums payable hereunder are paid in full notwithstanding any extensions of time for payment which may be granted even though the period of extension be indefinite, and notwithstanding any inaction by, or failure to assert any legal right available to, the Holder.
13.2 It is further expressly agreed that any waiver by the Holder, other than a waiver in writing signed by the Holder, of any term or provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents or of any right, remedy or option under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be controlling, nor shall it prevent or estop the Holder from thereafter enforcing such term, provision, right, remedy or option, and the failure or refusal of the Holder to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect, it being understood and agreed that the Holder’s rights, remedies and options under this Note and the other Loan Documents are and shall be cumulative and are in addition to all other rights, remedies and options of the Payee in law or in equity or under any other agreement.
13.3 Maker and Holder hereby irrevocably waive all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Note and Maker also irrevocably waives the right, in such action, proceeding or counterclaim, to interpose any counterclaims (except to the extent that such counterclaims are compulsory and may not be brought in a separate action) or set-offs of any kind or description.
13.4 In the event that any provision of this Note or the application thereof to the Maker or any circumstance in any jurisdiction governing this Note shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Note and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.
13.5 Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth in this Note, subject to any applicable notice or grace period provided herein; provided, however, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest payable hereunder.

13.7 No act of commission or omission of any kind or at any time upon the part of Holder in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in any way impair the rights of Holder to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Note and no set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which the Maker has or may have against the Holder shall be available hereunder to the Maker.
13.8 The captions preceding the text of the various paragraphs contained in this Note are provided for convenience only and shall not be deemed to in any way affect or limit the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
