Common use of Ceiling Election Clause in Contracts

Ceiling Election. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under New York law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of New York law for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
