TO THE EXTENT ANY RENT OR PAYMENTS HEREUNDER ARE HEREINAFTER CHARACTERIZED BY ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AS THE REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST THEREON, THIS SECTION 30.14 SHALL APPLY. ANY SUCH RENT OR PAYMENTS SO CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST MAY BE REFERRED TO HEREIN AS "INTEREST." ALL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO ARE HEREBY LIMITED BY THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH WHICH SHALL OVERRIDE AND CONTROL ALL SUCH AGREEMENTS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.

USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. It is the intention of the parties that all charges under or in connection with this Agreement and the Obligations, however denominated, and including (without limitation) all interest, commitment fees, late charges and loan charges, shall be limited to the Maximum Lawful Amount. Such charges hereunder shall be characterized and all provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed as to uphold the validity of charges provided for therein to the fullest possible extent. Additionally, all charges hereunder shall be spread over the full permitted term of the Obligations for the purpose of determining the effective rate thereof to the fullest possible extent, without regard to prepayment of or the right to prepay the Obligations. If for any reason whatsoever, however, any charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the Obligations shall exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount, then, without any specific action by Lenders, Agent or Borrower, the obligation to pay such interest and/or other charges shall be reduced to the Maximum Lawful Amount in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Lenders that exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and/or refunded to Borrower so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the Obligations exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. This provision shall control every other provision herein and in any and all other agreements and instruments now existing or hereafter arising between Borrower and Lenders with respect to the Obligations.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Borrowers (individually and collectively) are not and will not be required to pay interest at a rate or any fee or charge in an amount prohibited by applicable law. If interest or any fee or charge payable on any date would be in a prohibited amount, then such interest, fee or charge will be automatically reduced to the maximum amount that is not prohibited, and any interest, fee or charge for subsequent periods (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) will be increased accordingly until Administrative Agent and each Lender receives payment of the full amount of each such reduction. To the extent that any prohibited amount is actually received by Administrative Agent or any Lender, then such amount will be automatically deemed to constitute a repayment of principal indebtedness hereunder.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. It is expressly stipulated to be the intent of Bank and Seller, and understood and agreed by Bank and Seller, that this Agreement: (a) does not represent a loan from Bank to Seller; and (b) allows Bank to purchase the Participation Interests for its own account and for a short term investment. If, notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction establishes a loan or extension of credit within this Agreement from Bank to Seller, then the parties to this Agreement hereby understand, acknowledge and agree that in such event: (a) Seller shall be the underlying obligor of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction; (b) Seller is utilizing the proceeds of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction for business, commercial, investment, or similar purposes; and (c) Seller has determined that it is beneficial to use any and all proceeds of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction to establish collateral for that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction by: (i) making deposits at Bank; (ii) purchasing certificates of deposit from Bank; and/or (iii) establishing other accounts at Bank. Furthermore, it is Bank’s and Seller’s intention and agreement that if a court of competent jurisdiction establishes a loan or extension of credit from Bank to Seller under this Agreement, then any proceeds of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction deposited with Bank as additional collateral for that loan or extension of credit: (a) shall be considered a compensating balance under and pursuant to Section 276.003 of the Texas Finance Code; and (b) shall not be considered a reduction in the amount of the proceeds of that loan and/or extension of credit from Bank to Seller. Additionally, it is the stipulated, understood and agreed to be the intent of Bank and Seller that this Agreement shall at all times comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), if any, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Bank to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. For purposes of this provision, “Indebtedness” shall mean all indebtedness, if any, evidenced, r...
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Borrower shall not be required to pay interest at a rate or any fee or charge in an amount prohibited by applicable law. If interest or any fee or charge payable on any date would be in a prohibited amount, then such interest, fee or charge will be automatically reduced to the maximum amount that is not prohibited, and any interest, fee or charge for subsequent periods (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) will be increased accordingly until Lender receives payment of the full amount of each such reduction. To the extent that any prohibited amount is actually received by Lender, then such amount will be automatically deemed to constitute a repayment of principal indebtedness hereunder.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. It is the intention of the parties that all consideration under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Obligations, however denominated, and including (without limitation) all interest; commitment, transaction, or processing fees; late charges; loan charges; and other such charges shall be limited to the maximum lawful amount permitted under applicable state law or, if higher, applicable federal law (the "Maximum Lawful Amount"). Such consideration shall be characterized and all provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to uphold the validity of charges provided for therein and any rates shall be calculated based upon the scheduled maturity of the Obligations and not based upon any prepayment or early maturity by acceleration. If for any reason, any interest and/or other charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the Term Loans shall exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount, then, ipso jacto, the obligation to pay such interest and/or other charges shall be reduced to the Maximum Lawful Amount in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Lenders that exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Term Loans and/or refunded to Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the Term Loans exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. This provision shall control every other provision herein and in any and all other agreements and instruments now existing or hereafter arising between Borrowers and Lender with respect to the Term Loan.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no Borrower is or will be required to pay interest at a rate or any fee in an amount prohibited by applicable law. If interest or any fee payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender on any date would be in a prohibited amount, such interest or fee will be automatically reduced to the maximum amount that is not prohibited, and any interest or fee for subsequent periods, to the extent not prohibited, will be increased accordingly until Administrative Agent and each Lender receives payment of the full amount of each such reduction. To the extent that any prohibited amount is actually received by Administrative Agent or any Lender, such amount will be automatically deemed to constitute a repayment of principal indebtedness hereunder.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. The parties hereto intend, at all times, to comply strictly with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable in respect of this Note. If applicable law is ever changed or judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to this Note, (ii) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of the Lender’s acceleration the maturity of this Note, or (iii) the Borrower has paid or the Lender will receive, then it is the express intent of the parties hereto that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by the Lender shall be applied to the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Borrower), and the provisions of this Note shall 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 applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise due hereunder; provided, however, that, if this Note is paid in full before the Maturity Date, then the Borrower and the Lender agree that the Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after the Lender discovers or is advised by the Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, refund such excess interest to the Borrower. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by the Lender pursuant to this Note may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full hereof, so that the rate or amount of interest on account of this Note does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to this Note. As used herein, “Maximum Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender in accordance with applicable laws.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. It is the intention of the parties to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws ("Usury Laws"). All agreements contained in the Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of the making of advances on account of the Debt, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any applicable Usury Law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, compliance with any of the Loan Documents, at the time performance thereunder shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity under any Usury Law then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If from any circumstance, the Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due under the Note and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender; provided, however, that there shall be no automatic reduction of such, payments or obligations as to any party barred by law from availing itself in any action or proceeding of the defense of usury, or any party barred or exempt from the operation of any Usury Law, or in the event and to the extent the loan evidenced by the Note, because of its amount or purpose or for any other reason is exempt from the operation of the Usury Law.
USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Borrowers (individually and collectively) are not and will not be required to pay interest at a rate or any fee or charge in an amount prohibited by applicable law. If interest or any fee or charge payable on any date would be in a prohibited amount, then such interest, fee or charge will be automatically reduced to the maximum amount that is not prohibited. To the extent that any prohibited amount is actually received by any Lender, then such amount will be automatically deemed to constitute a repayment of principal indebtedness hereunder.
