otherwise derogate from any of the rights or remedies of Bank or any of the liabilities,
obligations or undertakings of any Borrower under any such agreement, nor shall any contemporaneous
or subsequent agreement between any Borrower and the Bank be construed to limit or otherwise
derogate from any of the rights or remedies of Bank or any of the liabilities, obligations or

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each Borrower irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Borrower hereby
consents to any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding, (i) by
mailing a copy thereof by registered and certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
to such Borrowers address shown in this Agreement or as notified to the Bank and (ii) by serving
the same upon such Borrower in any other manner otherwise permitted by law, and agrees that such
service shall in every respect be deemed effective service upon Borrower.

INTENTIONALLY, AND AFTER AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, (A) WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS,
