8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, interest under this note shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law; and if any amount is paid under this note as interest in excess of such maximum rate, then the amount so paid will not constitute interest but will constitute a prepayment on account of the principal amount of this note.

12. No failure by Holder to exercise, or delay by Holder in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy. Holder may not waive any of its rights under this Note except by an instrument in writing signed by it.

13. If any provision of this Note shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
