interpretation or administration, has or would have the effect of reducing the
Bank's rate of return under this Note to a level below that which the Bank could

of protest and notice of dishonor and waive all exemptions, whether homestead or
otherwise, as to the obligations evidenced by this Note. The undersigned and
each other Party waive any rights to require the Bank to proceed against any

termination or waiver of any provision of this Note, nor consent to any

power or remedy under this Note may be construed as a waiver of the right to
exercise the same or any other right at any time.
