10



 

petition with any bankruptcy court or be the subject of any petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., the “Code”), dddd) file or be the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, eeee) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator, or ffff) be the subject of any order, judgment, or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors, Lender shall thereupon be entitled, and Buyer irrevocably consents, to the entry of an order by a bankruptcy court granting to Lender relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Code, or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as provided in the Loan Documents, this Agreement or as otherwise provided by law or in equity, and Buyer hereby irrevocably waives its right to object to, attempt to enjoin or otherwise interfere with such relief and the exercise and enforcement by Lender of its rights and remedies following entry of such order.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer agrees that Lender will be entitled to and hereby consents to immediate relief from the automatic stay imposed by the Code to allow Lender to take any and all actions necessary, desirable or appropriate to enforce any rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the right to possession of the Property, collection of rents, and/or the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose Lender’s liens and security interests.  Buyer further agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code which postpones, prevents, delays, or otherwise hinders Lender’s efforts to collect the amounts due under the Note or to liquidate any of the collateral therefor shall be deemed to have been filed in bad faith and, therefore, shall be subject to prompt dismissal or conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the Code upon motion therefor by Lender.  Further, Buyer agrees that it will not seek, apply for or cause the entry of any order enjoining, staying, or otherwise prohibiting or interfering with Lender’s obtaining an order granting relief from the automatic stay and enforcement of any rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender’s right to possession of the Property, collection of rents and/or the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose Lender’s liens and security interests under the Loan Documents.

 

27.           COMPLIANCE WITH INTEREST LAW.  It is the intention of Seller, Original Guarantor, Buyer, Guarantor and Lender to conform strictly to the Interest Law (herein defined).  Accordingly, Buyer and Lender agree that any provisions contained in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate of all interest, or consideration constituting interest under the Interest Law, that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under the Note or under any of the aforesaid documents or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law.  If any excess interest is provided for in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, then i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, ii) neither Buyer nor Buyer’s successors or assigns shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law, iii) any such excess shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited against the Indebtedness (or if the Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Buyer), and iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest (as hereinafter defined).  To the extent permitted by the Interest Law, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Indebtedness shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Note.  For purposes of the Note, “Interest Law” shall mean any present or future law of the State of Michigan (meaning the internal laws of said state and not the laws of said state relating to choice of law), the United States of America or any other jurisdiction, which has application to the interest and other charges under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents and to the classification of Buyer under such law.  For purposes of the Note, the “Maximum Legal Rate of Interest” shall mean the maximum effective contract rate of interest that Lender may from time to time, by agreement with the Buyer, legally charge Buyer and in regard to which Buyer would be prevented from successfully raising the claim or defense of usury under the Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate jurisdiction.
