Legal Rate of Interest Sample Clauses

Legal Rate of Interest. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require payment of interest at a rate greater than the highest permitted contract rate under applicable law, or to make any payment or to do any act contrary to applicable law. To this end, if during the course of any litigation involving the enforceability of the obligations represented by this Note, a court having jurisdiction of the subject matter or of the parties to said litigation shall determine that either the interest rate as set forth herein, or the effect of said rate in relation to the particular circumstances of default resulting in said litigation, are separately or collectively usurious, then the interest rate set forth herein shall be reduced, or the operation and effect thereof ameliorated, to achieve the highest interest rate or charge which shall not be usurious. As an example of such an amelioration, in the event the indebtedness represented by this Note is declared due by the Lender prior to maturity, and the total amount of interest paid causes interest to exceed the highest rate permitted by law, such interest rate shall be recalculated at the highest rate which shall not be usurious and any excess paid over such recalculated interest rate shall be credited to the unpaid principal of this Note.

Legal Rate of Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in this Agreement or in any Guaranty, the rate of interest borne by the Notes shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under any applicable law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited on the principal of the Notes or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the Notes or, if the principal of the Notes has been paid, refunded. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum amount of nonusurious interest, the Company and holders of the Notes shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Notes.
