Usury Limitation Sample Clauses

Usury Limitation. Each Loan Document is expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of error of fact or law, payment, prepayment or advancement of the proceeds of the Loans, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the use, forbearance, or retention of money, including any fees or charges collected or made in connection with the Loans which may be treated as interest under applicable law, if any, exceed the maximum legal limit (if any such limit is applicable) under United States federal laws or state laws (to the extent not preempted by federal law, if any), now or hereafter governing the interest payable under such Loan Documents. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity (if any) prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstances Lenders shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the maximum legal limit (if any such limit is applicable), such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due under the Loan Documents and not to the payment of interest or, if necessary, to Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, this provision shall control every other provision of all Loan Documents.

Usury Limitation. All agreements between Borrower, the Guarantors and the Banks are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Banks for the use or the forbearance of such Indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then each Loan Document shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrower and the Banks in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Credit Agreement to contract in strict compliance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever the Banks should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall, at the election of the Borrower, either be

Usury Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Note, Lend▇▇ ▇▇▇ll never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law. If Lend▇▇ ▇▇▇eives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal Sum; and if the Principal Sum is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable in any specific case exceeds the highest lawful rate, Lender and Borrower shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; and (ii) "spread" the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the obligation so that the interest rate is deemed to have been uniform throughout the entire term.

Usury Limitation. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable Laws and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or received by Bank, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Parent shall notify Bank in writing that Parent, on behalf of the Borrowers, elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.

As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.
