In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest on all or any part of the Loans, any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate in effect from day to day, and, in the event the Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be deemed excessive interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment of the principal of the Loans and treated hereunder as such; and, if the entire principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lender is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be repaid to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate in effect from day to day, the Borrower and the Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loans so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Loans; provided that, if the interest received by the Lender for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate in effect from day to day, the Lender shall apply or refund to the Borrower the amount of such excess as provided in this Section, and, in such event, the Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate in effect from day to day.
