Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Loan Agreement (or of any agreement or document required by this Agreement and any amendment to this Agreement) by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the telecopy or other electronic image shall be promptly followed by an original if required by Lender.
10.14 Document Receipt Cut-Off Date.
Unless this Loan Agreement and any documents required by this Loan Agreement have been signed and returned to the Lender within 10 days after the date of this Loan Agreement (the “Document Receipt Cut-Off Date”), the Lender will have the right to notify the Borrower in writing that the Lender’s commitment to extend credit under this Loan Agreement has expired. If the executed agreement and accompanying Loan Documents are received after the Document Receipt Cut- Off Date, the Lender will have a reasonable period of time after receipt of the executed agreement and accompanying Loan Documents to provide such notice.
10.15 Limitation of Interest and Other Charges.
If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by the Lender as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of the Loan evidenced hereby, will be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Lender to the Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted will be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal. As used herein, the term “applicable law” will mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement will be governed by such new law as of its effective date.
This Loan Agreement is executed as of the date stated at the top of the first page.
