Limitations on Interest Clause Samples

The Limitations on Interest clause sets a cap on the amount of interest that can be charged or accrued under an agreement. Typically, this clause ensures that any interest rate or total interest charged does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law, and may require adjustments if the calculated interest would otherwise surpass legal limits. Its core function is to protect parties from inadvertently violating usury laws and to prevent excessive or unenforceable interest charges, thereby ensuring the enforceability and fairness of the contract.
Limitations on Interest. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.
Limitations on Interest. It being the intention of the parties hereto to strictly conform to the applicable usury laws, all agreements between the Debtor and the Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to the Secured Party for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If due to any circumstance or reason whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of the Note or of any mortgage, loan agreement, or other document evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve 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 the Secured Party shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under the applicable law which would exceed interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, such amount which would have been excessive interest shall instead automatically be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, and if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Note, such excess shall be refunded to the Debtor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Secured Party for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the Debtor to the Secured Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of such indebtedness so that the rate of interest on such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control all agreements between the Debtor and the Secured Party.
Limitations on Interest. The applicable Final Terms may specify a minimum rate at which the Notes bear interest (a “Minimum Interest Rate”). If the Rate of Interest determined in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 4 is less than the specified Minimum Interest Rate, the Rate of Interest shall be such Minimum Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, the applicable Final Terms may specify a Maximum Interest Rate. If the Rate of Interest determined in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 4 is greater than the maximum rate at which the Notes bear interest (the “Maximum Interest Rate”), the Rate of Interest shall be such Maximum Interest Rate. In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate which may be applicable to any Note pursuant to the above provision, the interest rate on such Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. Under present New York law, the maximum rate of interest is 25.00 per cent. per annum on a simple interest basis, with certain exceptions. The limit may not apply to Notes in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested.
Limitations on Interest. All agreements between TMCC, Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by TMCC exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to TMCC in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to TMCC shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance TMCC shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations to which such excess pertains and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal balance such excess shall be refunded to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to TMCC shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between TMCC and Borrower and Guarantor.
Limitations on Interest. No provision of the Loan Agreement, the other Credit Documents, or other instrument constituting or evidencing any of the Obligations or any other agreement between the parties shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate which Trustor may agree to pay under applicable laws. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to applicable usury laws now in force, the interest on the principal amount of the Loan Agreement and the interest on other amounts due under and/or secured by this instrument shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any excess interest paid shall be credited to Trustor.
Limitations on Interest. This Note is hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other agreement evidencing or securing the indebtedness, at the time performance of such provision occurs, shall involve the payment of interest in excess of that authorized by applicable law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit so authorized by applicable law, and if, from any circumstances, Payee Shall ever receive as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate applicable to Maker, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest.
Limitations on Interest. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore Net Multi-Tenant Laboratory 825 Industrial – Multiple Suites/Vaxcyte - Page 53 collected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.
Limitations on Interest. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Maker be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate which could subject Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum ate which Maker is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note Maker is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of such Maximum Rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such Maximum Rate and interest payable hereunder shall be computed at such Maximum Rate.
Limitations on Interest. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Promissory Note to the contrary, no holder hereof shall ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest on this Promissory Note any amount in excess of the highest lawful rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto. If any holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial payment of principal and treated hereunder as such, and, if the principal balance of this Promissory Note if paid in full, any remaining excess shall promptly be paid to Maker.
Limitations on Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in this instrument, any note representing the Obligations, or any other instrument executed or delivered in connection with the Obligations, it is the express intent of the parties that at no time shall Mortgagor pay interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), and Lender will never be considered to have contracted for or to be entitled to charge, receive, collect, or apply as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious). In the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations, or if paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Mortgagor. In determining whether the interest exceeds the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), Mortgagor and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments expressly designated as interest) as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof; and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the term.
