under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or
fulfillment of any provision of this Note shall, at the time of performance or
fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest
prescribed by law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled
shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender
