12. CONFORMITY WITH LAW. All agreements between the Company and Holder are expressly limited, so that in no event or contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of the advancement of the proceeds of this Debenture, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder of this Debenture for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be advanced under this Debenture exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws.  If, under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Debenture or any other agreement pertaining hereto, after timely performance of such provision is due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction deems applicable, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if, under any circumstances whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive as interest an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance under this Debenture and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal under this Debenture, such excess shall be refunded to Company.  This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Company and Holder.
