Limit on Interest. It is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall the Lenders ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest under any Note any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum rate that the Lenders may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and, in the event that the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest on the Notes, any such excess, such amount that, but for this provision, would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes; and, if the principal amount of indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, and all lawful interest thereon, is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency exceeds the highest contract rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as a reasonable loan charge, rather than as interest. Any provision of any Note, or of any other agreement between the Lenders and the Borrower, that operates to bind, obligate, or compel the Borrower to pay interest in excess of such maximum lawful contract rate shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this Section 10.9 shall be given precedence over any other provisions contained in the Notes or in any other agreement between the Lenders and the Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.9.
