14.  
Savings Clause.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of the Borrower and the Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than permitted under state law) and that this section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and any other Loan Document.  If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (the “Indebtedness”), or if the Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note, or if any prepayment by the Borrower results in the Borrower having paid any Interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the Borrower’s and the Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofor collected by the Lender shall be credited on the Principal Balance of this Note and all other Indebtedness (or, if this Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of Interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as the Indebtedness is outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of the Lender to accelerate the maturity of any Interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned Interest at the time of such acceleration.
