(d) Usury Saving
Provision. All payment obligations arising under this Note are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company be obligated
or required to pay interest at a rate which could subject the holder of this

maximum rate which the Company is permitted by law to contract or agree to
pay. If by the terms of this Note, the Company is at any time
required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate,
the applicable rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
such maximum rate, and interest thus payable 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
principal.
