12. Controlling Agreement. Holder and Company intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws.

In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest contracted for, charged, or received under the Note or otherwise exceed the Maximum Rate (as defined below). If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable to Holder in excess of the Maximum Rate, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this section and such document shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable to Holder shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Rate, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Holder shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall at the option of Holder, be refunded to Company or applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note or any other Indebtedness does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Holder does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such Indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
