any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right under this
Note.&#160; This Note is being delivered in
the State of California.&#160; This Note
shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California as it
applies to contracts between California residents, which are made and to be
performed in California.</font></p>

times with applicable usury laws.&#160; If at
any time such laws would render usurious any amounts due under this Note, then
it is the Obligor&#146;s and the Payee&#146;s express intention that the Obligor not be
required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum lawful
rate, that the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other
provisions of this Note which may be in apparent conflict hereunder, that such
excess amount shall be immediately credited to the principal balance of this
Note (or, if this Note has been fully paid, refunded by the Payee to the
Obligor), and the provisions hereof shall be immediately reformed and the
amounts thereafter collectible under this Note reduced, without the necessity
of the execution of any further documents, so as to comply with the then
applicable usury law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount
otherwise due under this Note.&#160; Any such
crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by the Obligor under
this Note.&#160; The term &#147;applicable law&#148; as
used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of California or the laws of
the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such
laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.</font></p>
