11. | INTEREST ADJUSTMENT |
In this Section 11, the terms “interest”, “criminal rate” and “credit advanced” have the meanings ascribed to them in s. 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) as amended from time to time.
The Borrower and the Lender agree that, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, no interest on the credit advanced by the Lender under this Agreement will be payable in excess of the maximum amount that otherwise be permitted under the laws of Canada.

(b) | any remaining excess that has been paid will be credited towards prepayment of the Principal; and |
(c) | any overpayment that may remain after such crediting will be returned forthwith to the Borrower upon demand, |
and, in the event of dispute, a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender shall perform the relevant calculations and determine the reductions, modifications and credits necessary to effect the foregoing and the same will be conclusive and binding on the parties.
