2. |
Non-Usurious Provision. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Global Secured Note, or any amendments thereto, Note Holder shall never be entitled to charge, receive or collect, nor shall amounts or property received hereunder be credited to Note Holder so that Note Holder shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum interest allowed by applicable law. It is the intention of the parties that the Global Secured Note, and all instruments securing the payment of the Global Secured Note or executed or delivered in connection therewith, shall comply with applicable law. If Note Holder ever contracts for, charges, receives or collects anything of value which is deemed interest under applicable law and the result is that Note Holder may be deemed to have charged, received or collected an amount of interest in excess of what is permitted by applicable law, any amount which so exceeds the maximum rate allowed by law shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Global Secured Note. |
