l. 
Usury Savings Clause. It is the intent of the parties hereto in the execution of the Note, this Agreement and all other instruments now or hereafter securing the Note or executed in connection therewith or under any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, the parties hereto stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Note, this Agreement or any other instrument securing the Note or executed in connection herewith, or in any other agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender, are in full force and effect until initial disbursement and shall never be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; that neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Note or the other indebtedness arising under any instrument securing the Note or executed in connection therewith, or in any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender, shall be liable to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this subsection shall control over all other provisions of the Note, this Agreement and any instruments now or hereafter securing the Note or executed in connection herewith or any other agreements which may be in apparent conflict herewith. If at any time it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that interest received by Lender exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on the Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Lender, be either immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Note, this Agreement and any instruments now or hereafter securing the Note or executed in connection herewith, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the loan evidenced by the Note does not exceed the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the loan for so long as the loan is outstanding.
