Interest on the debt evidenced by this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall not exceed the maximum amount of non-usurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded. Interest will accrue daily. Unpaid and overdue interest will be compounded monthly, and as such, will be added to principal amount due with interest accruing on such compounded amount. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the debt.
