(collectively, the Additional Sums), whether pursuant to this Note, the
Agreement or any other documents or instruments in any way pertaining to this
lending transaction, or otherwise with respect to this lending transaction for
the purpose of any applicable law that may limit the maximum amount of interest
to be charged with respect to this lending transaction, shall be payable by
Borrower as, and shall deemed to be, additional interest and for such purposes
only, the agreed upon and "contracted for rate of interest" of this lending
transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the rate of interest resulting
from the inclusion of the Additional Sums.
It is the intent of the parties to comply with the usury law of the State of
Arizona (the "Applicable Usury Law"). Accordingly, it is agreed that
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the
documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event
shall this Note or such documents require the payment or permit the collection
of interest in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable
Usury Law (the "Maximum Interest Rate"). In the event (a) any such excess of
interest otherwise would be contracted for, charged or received from Borrower or
otherwise in connection with the loan evidenced hereby, (b) the maturity of
indebtedness evidenced by this Note is accelerated in whole or in part, or (c)
all or part of the principal or interest of this Note shall be prepaid, so that
under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, shared or
received in connection with the loan evidenced hereby, would exceed the Maximum
Interest Rate, then in any such event (1) the provisions of this paragraph shall
govern and control, (2) neither Borrower nor any other person or entity now or
hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of
such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate,
(3) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a
credit against the then unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Borrower,
at Lender's option, and (4) the effective rate of interest shall be
automatically reduced to the Maximum Interest Rate. It is further agreed,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent permitted
by the Applicable Usury Law; (x) all calculations of interest which are made for
the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed the Maximum Interest
Rate shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the
period of the full stated term of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any
time contracted for, charged or received from Borrower or otherwise in
connection with such loan; and (y) in the event that the effective rate of
interest on the loan should at any time exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, such
excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there been no
ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Lender from time to
time, if and when the effective interest rate on the loan otherwise falls below
the Maximum Interest Rate, to the extent that interest paid to the date of
calculation does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, until the entire amount
of interest which would otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling
imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full. Borrower further
agrees that should the Maximum Interest Rate be increased at any time hereafter
because of a change in the Applicable Usury Law, then to the extent not
prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such increases, if applicable, shall
apply to all indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred; but,
again to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such decreases
shall not apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when
incurred.

7.6 No delay or omission on the part of the holder of this Note in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or of
any other right.
7.7 No waiver by the holder of this Note upon any one occasion shall
be effective unless in writing nor shall it be construed as a bar or
waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
7.8 Time is of the essence for the performance by the undersigned of
the obligations set forth in this Note.
7.9 Should any one or more of the provisions of this Note be determined
illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless remain
effective.
7.10 This Note cannot be changed, modified, amended or terminated
orally.
7.11 This Note shall be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without reference to
the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
7.12 THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS
NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT XXXXXX ALSO WAIVES SUCH RIGHT.
8.0 Security For This Note.
