govern and prevail and neither the Company nor its successors or permitted assigns shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of amounts owing pursuant hereto. In
the event the Issuer receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the obligations

thereof, and (c)&nbsp;amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the obligations outstanding hereunder so that interest for the entire term does not
