If at any time the performance of any provision of this Note or of any other agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Note involves a payment exce...eding the limit of the interest that may be validly charged for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed shall be reduced to such limit, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Holder that all payments under this Note are to be credited first toward the payment of interest, but not in excess of the lesser of (i) the agreed upon Interest Rate as set forth herein or (ii) that which is permitted by law; and payments shall thereafter be credited toward the reduction of the outstanding Loan Amount. The provisions of this Section 12 shall under no circumstances be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Note and all other agreements and instruments entered into between the Company and the Holder in connection with this Note.
