transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and
if, for any circumstance, the Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount
which would be excessive interest, such amount shall be applied to the reduction
of the unpaid due hereunder and not to the payment of interest. The Company will
