If, by the terms of this Debenture, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Debenture shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest payable hereunder shall be computed at such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of this Debenture.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Debenture shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Debenture, but this Debenture shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Debenture to be executed on the day and year first above written.
