If, at any time, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency, or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by the laws of any applicable jurisdiction or the rules or regulations of any appropriate regulatory authority or agency, then during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each interest payment attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal or, if all principal has been paid, that portion of each interest payment attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be promptly refunded to Maker.
This Note binds the Maker and its successors and assigns, Maker shall have the right to assign, transfer or delegate its rights or obligations under this Note with the Payee's consent, and this Note shall inure to the benefit of Payee and its successors and assigns.
