and accrued interest owing upon this Note and all other Obligations to be
immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration such principal and
interest shall become and be forthwith due and payable without any further
notice, presentment, or demand of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrower
13
Wherever used in this Note, the term "Lender" shall include any holder or
assignee of this Note. Except for the notice required in the immediately
preceding paragraph, Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, and
all other demands and notices in connection with delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Note, assents to any extension or
postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, and to the addition
or release of any other person primarily or secondarily liable. Borrower
understands and agrees that this Note is subject to and shall be construed
according to the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to principles of
conflict of laws. Lender's rights, remedies, and powers that are expressly
specified in this Note are in addition to Lender's rights, remedies, and powers
under any other instrument or agreement or under applicable law.
Any deposits or sums at any time credited by or due from Lender to Borrower
and any securities or other personal property of Borrower in the possession of
Lender may at all times be held and treated as additional security for the
payment of the Obligations. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender
may apply or set off such deposits or other sums against the Obligations at any
time and without further notice.
Any waiver of Lender's rights hereunder must be in writing and signed by
Lender. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any such right or remedy on a future occasion. Delay or failure by
Lender to exercise its powers, rights, or remedies, in whole or in part, shall
not be deemed a waiver of any such power, right, or remedy; no single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall preclude the exercise of
any other right, power, or remedy. All agreements, representations, and
warranties made herein will survive the making of the loan evidenced by this
Note and will bind and inure to the benefit of Borrower and its successors and
assigns and Lender and its successors and assigns.
Any notice required or authorized to be given to Borrower pursuant to the
provisions of this Note shall be sufficiently given when such notice is either
delivered, sent by telegram, or mailed (deposited for delivery, postage prepaid,
by U.S. mail) to Borrower either at the address set forth below (as modified by
any change therein which Borrower has supplied in writing to Lender) or at any
other address at which Lender customarily communicates with Borrower.
If any provision of this Note, or any covenant, stipulation, obligation,
agreement, act, or action, or part thereof made, assumed, entered into, or taken
hereunder or any application thereof, is for any reason held to be illegal or
invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision or
any other covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement, act, or action or part
thereof, made, assumed, entered into, or taken, each of which shall be construed
and enforced as if such illegal or invalid portion were not contained herein.
Such illegality or invalidity of any application of any provision hereof shall
not affect any legal and valid application thereof, and each such provision,
covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement, act, or action, or part shall be
deemed to be effective, operative, made, entered into, or taken in the manner
and to the full extent permitted by law.
The relationship between Borrower and Lender with respect to this Note and
any writing executed or delivered in connection herewith is and shall be solely
that of debtor and creditor, respectively, and Lender has no fiduciary
obligation toward Borrower with respect to any such document or the transactions
contemplated thereby.
This Note and any agreement, document or instrument referred to herein or
executed on or as of the date hereof integrate all of the terms and conditions
mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and
negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Borrower agrees to promptly reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses,
including attorney's fees, incurred by Lender in connection with any
restructurings of this Note or any documents executed and delivered in
connection herewith and in connection with any collection proceedings as a
result of nonpayment of this Note, as and when due and payable.
Borrower has received consideration which is the reasonable equivalent
value of the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to Lender.
Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute,
14
nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this
Note to Lender. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or
transaction for which the assets retained by it shall be an unreasonably small
capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Lender incurred hereunder.
Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts
beyond its ability to pay them as they mature.
Borrowers authorize any attorney-at-law to appear for each Borrower in any
court of record in the State of Ohio after this Note becomes due and waive the
issuing and service of process and confess judgment against Borrowers in favor
of Lender for the amount then appearing due, together with costs of suit, and
thereupon to waive all errors and all rights of appeal and stay of execution.
The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment, and if any
judgment is vacated for any reason, Lender may thereafter use the foregoing
warrant of attorney to obtain any additional judgments against Borrowers.
Borrowers agree that Lender's attorney may confess judgment pursuant to the
foregoing warrant of attorney. Borrowers further agree that the attorney
confessing judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney may receive a
legal fee or other compensation from Lender. This is a joint and several warrant
of attorney.
Borrowers, to the extent permitted by law, waive any right to have a jury
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
otherwise, between Lender and Borrowers arising out of, in connection with,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lender in connection with this Note or any other agreement, instrument or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

related thereto. This waiver shall not in any way affect, waive, limit, amend or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modify Lender's ability to pursue remedies pursuant to any confession of
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
judgment or cognovit provision contained in this Note, or any other agreement,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
instrument or document related thereto.
