Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Debt for so long as debt is outstanding.

If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or the Debt, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (hereinafter defined) shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or the Debt (or, if the Note and all Debt have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder 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 and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Debt for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
(b) As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used in this Section 2.2.4, the term “Debt” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Lender under the Note.
