Maximum Rate of Interest. The Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby agree and stipulate that the only charges imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement are and shall be the specific interest and fees described in this Article 2 and in any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Lender Group further agree and stipulate that all closing fees, agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by any member of the Lender Group to third parties or for damages incurred by the Lender Group, or any of them, are charges to compensate the Lender Group for underwriting and administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed and incurred, by the Lender Group in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 7-4-2 and 7-4-18 or any other Applicable Law. In no event shall the amount of interest and other charges for the use of money payable under this Agreement exceed the maximum amounts permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and other charges for the use of money and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the amount of such interest and other charges for the use of money or manner of payment exceeds the maximum amount allowable under Applicable Law, then, ipso facto as of the Agreement Date, the Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Loans to the extent of such excess.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (in each case, the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans, and not to the payment of interest, or, if the excessive interest exceeds such unpaid principal, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the applicable Obligor. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lenders exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Indebtedness and other obligations of any Obligor hereunder, or (d) allocate interest between portions of such Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable Law.
Maximum Rate of Interest. It is not Our intent to receive interest at a rate greater than the maximum rate permissible by law, which We shall call the “maximum rate”. If a court determines You have actually paid Us interest based on a rate that exceeds the maximum rate, then We shall apply the excess as follows: first, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Our accrued interest and any other principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us in respect of the Secured Obligations; and third, after all amounts owed by You to Us are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to You.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Note, if the amount of any interest, premium, fees or other monies or any rate of interest required to be paid under this Note or any other document entered into in connection with this Note would, but for this provision, contravene any applicable Law, then such amount or rate of interest shall be reduced to such maximum amount as would not contravene such provisions; and to the extent that any excess has been charged or received the Holder shall apply such excess against the outstanding Obligations and refund to the Borrowers any further excess amount.
Maximum Rate of Interest. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of the Company and Holder at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on or in connection with all indebtedness and transactions hereunder (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount of money or other consideration called for hereunder, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to any loan or advance hereunder, or if acceleration of the maturity of this Note or the indebtedness hereunder or if any prepayment by the Company results in the Company's having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is the Company's and Holder's express intent that all excess cash amounts theretofore collected by Holder be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or if this Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Company), and the provisions of this Note immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of this Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Holder does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment would be contrary to the provisions of any Applicable Law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Lender, and in such event Borrower shall pay Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Any provision contained in the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall the Borrowers be obligated to pay, interest, fees, or charges thereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Law, and if any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents is construed or held by any court of law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to permit or require the charging, collection or payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision. The intention of the parties is to at all times conform strictly with all applicable usury requirements and other Laws limiting the maximum rates of interest which may be lawfully charged upon the Loans. The interest to be paid pursuant to the Notes shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury or other Laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any sums of money paid in excess of the interest rate allowed by applicable Law shall be applied in reduction of the principal amount owing pursuant to the Notes.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing herein contained, nor in any Loan Document or transaction related thereto, shall be construed or so operate as to require Mortgagor or any person liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to pay interest in an amount or at a rate greater than the maximum allowed by law. Should any interest or other charges in the nature of the interest paid by Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the Credit Agreement result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by the holder hereof, and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of said excess which exceeds the principal balance shall be paid by the holder hereof to Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the said Credit Agreement, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations hereunder be required to pay interest in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law.
Maximum Rate of Interest. It is intended that the rate of interest herein shall never exceed the maximum rate, if any, which may be legally charged on the Loans evidenced by this Note (the “Maximum Rate”), and if the provisions for interest contained in this Note would result in a rate higher than the Maximum Rate, interest shall nevertheless be limited to the Maximum Rate, and any amounts which may be paid toward interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of principal, or, at the option of Lender, returned to Borrower.
Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents would oblige the Company to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Holders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Holders of interest at a criminal or prohibited rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada) or any other Applicable Law), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with the same effect as if adjusted at the Closing Date to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Holders of interest at a criminal or prohibited rate, such adjustment to be effected to the extent necessary in each case, as follows (a) by reducing any fees and other amounts which would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) or any other Applicable Law; and (b) by reducing the Interest Rate.
