10.Notices.
All Notices required or permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 15.02 (Notice) of the Loan Agreement.
11.Time is of the Essence.
Borrower agrees that, with respect to each and every obligation and covenant contained in this Note, time is of the essence.
12.Loan Charges Savings Clause.
Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Mortgage Loan and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents.  Neither this Note, the Loan Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents.  If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document, or otherwise charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Mortgage Loan, or on acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Loan or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such violation.  Amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan without the payment of any prepayment premium (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents.  For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.
