purposes, and the Obligors hereby ratify and confirm all that the Lender shall do by virtue of this
grant of power.

(5%) per annum above the rate set forth in the Note.

immediately upon the stated or accelerated maturity even though such set-off is not noted on the
Lender’s records until a later time.
7.8. The Lender’s failure to accelerate for any cause shall not prevent the Lender from doing
so for a later cause.

the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power
or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as deemed expedient by Lender. In order to entitle the Lender to
exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it shall not be
necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be expressly required by this Agreement or
the Loan Documents.
