It is the intention of the parties that the Note shall comply with applicable law. If the Lender ever contracts for, charges, receives, or collects, anything of value which is deemed to be interest under applicable law, and if the occurrence of any circumstance or contingency, whether acceleration of maturity of the Note, delay in advancing proceeds of the Note; or other event, should cause such interest to exceed interest at the Maximum Rate, any such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note or any other indebtedness owed to the Lender by the Borrower, and if the Note and such other indebtedness is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest hereon exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread throughout the entire term of the Note until its payment in full in a manner which will cause the interest rate on the Note not to exceed the Maximum Rate.
