If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and any interest or any other charges of any kind received which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Section 8 shall control to the extent any other provision of this Term Note or any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.
