Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest, and all notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note. Acceptance by the Payee of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit the right of the Payee to require full payment of all sums due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

The election of Payee to avail himself of any one or more remedies shall not be a bar to any other available remedies, which Maker agrees Payee may take from time to time. If it shall be found that any interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law.

7. Use of Proceeds. Maker shall use the proceeds from this Note hereunder for capital expenditures on equipment and working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of Maker's or Subsidiary's debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of Maker's business and prior practices), to redeem any of Maker's equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.

8. Collection Expenses. If Payee shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce this Secured Promissory Note, then Maker shall reimburse Payee for his costs of collection and reasonable attorneys fees incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest.
