applicable usury laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Borrower to each Lender and the Issuer under this Agreement shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the
extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender or the Issuer limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Lender or the Issuer. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated
hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the Federal and state laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable) with respect to a Lender or the Issuer then, in that event,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed as follows: (i) the provisions of this Section 10.6 shall govern and control; (ii) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is
contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Agreement by such Lender or the Issuer shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest
allowed by applicable law (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to such Lender or the Issuer herein called the &#147;<U>Highest Lawful Rate</U>&#148;), and any excess shall be credited to such Borrower by such Lender or the Issuer
(or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess promptly refunded to such Borrower); (iii) all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Lender or the Issuer for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness of such
Borrower to such Lender or the Issuer hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is
uniform throughout the full term thereof; and (iv) if at any time the interest provided pursuant to Article II together with any other fees payable pursuant to this Agreement and deemed interest under applicable law, exceeds that amount which would
have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees to accrue to such Lender or the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement to that amount which
would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Lender or the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of
interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement and such fees deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender or the Issuer if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to Article II had
at all times been in effect, <U>plus</U> the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section 10.6. For purposes of Tex. Fin. Code Ann. Ch. 303, as amended, to the extent, if any, applicable to a Lender or the Issuer,
each Borrower agrees that the Highest Lawful Rate shall be the &#147;weekly ceiling&#148; as defined in said Article, <I>provided</I> that such Lender and the Issuer may also rely, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, on alternative maximum
rates of interest under other laws applicable to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, if greater. Tex. Fin. Code Ann. Ch. 346 (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) shall not apply to
