be made to the Holders pro rata in accordance with the principal amount of
Notes that such Holder owns. If any Holder shall receive any payment in

permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever
fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or of any other document
evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness contemplated hereby,
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 from any such circumstances any Purchaser or any Holder shall ever
receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law
under this Agreement or any other document evidencing, securing or
pertaining to the indebtedness contemplated hereby or otherwise an amount
that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing under this Agreement or on account of any other indebtedness of the
Company to such Purchaser or such Holder, and not to the payment of
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of the Notes and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be
refunded to the Company. In determining whether or not the interest paid or
payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Company to such Purchaser or
such Holder, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful
rate, the Company and such Purchaser or such Holder shall, to the maximum
