If any payment to be made on or under this Note is stated to be due or becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

  8. Exercise of Rights.

(a) Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, powers, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish or subordinate or to determine to take any other action with respect thereto, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent or the Lenders’ rights, powers, Liens, security interests or remedies hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, under Applicable Law or at equity.

This Note is expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Agent and/or the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Agent and/or the Lenders, or any of them, shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan and Security Agreement.
