Section # Interest. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the [[Organization E:Organization]] and each Bank shall conform strictly to Applicable Usury Laws from time to time in effect. Accordingly, if the transactions with the [[Organization E:Organization]] or any Bank contemplated hereby would be usurious under Applicable Usury Laws, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes, or any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security for this Agreement or the Notes, it is agreed as follows: # the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Usury Laws that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Notes, or under any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security for this Agreement or the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such Applicable Usury Laws and any excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, be credited by the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the obligations owed to the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, by the [[Organization A:Organization]] or refunded by the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, to the [[Organization A:Organization]], and # in the event that the maturity of any Advance or other obligation payable to the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, is accelerated or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under Applicable Usury Laws, may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such Applicable Usury Laws and excess interest, if any to the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall, at the option of the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, be credited by the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the obligations owed to the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, by the [[Organization A:Organization]] or refunded by the [[Organization E:Organization]] or such Bank, as the case may be, to the [[Organization A:Organization]].

the applicable interest rate or rates shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful rate allowed to be contracted for in writing under the applicable governing usury laws, and this Note and the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in such interest rate or rates; and

No Defenses. This Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the operation of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. Neither [[Borrower:Organization]] nor any Person claiming through [[Borrower:Organization]] has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense. [[Borrower:Organization]] knows of no facts that would support a claim of usury to defeat or avoid its obligation to repay the principal of, interest on, and other sums or amounts due and payable under, the Loan Documents.

“Applicable Usury Laws” means the Texas Finance Code, any other law of the State of Texas limiting interest rates or the amount of interest that may lawfully be charged and any applicable Federal law to the extent that it permits [[Organization D:Organization]] to contract for, charge, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under the Texas Finance Code or other laws of the State of Texas.

ON THIS 19th DAY of June, 2020, Pipergy Inc., a Wyoming corporation, hereinafter known as the “Borrower” promises to pay to [[Person A:Person]], of P.O. , Box 727, Newcastle, WY 82701, hereinafter known as the “lender”, the principal sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), with interest accruing on the unpaid balance at the rate of nine percent (9.0%) per annum, which is no greater than the maximum usury stated in the Wyoming Statutes.

“Requirements of Law” means, with respect to any Person, any law, treaty, rule or regulation, or order or determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case applicable to or binding upon such Person or to which such Person is subject, whether federal, State or local (including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, Regulations U and T of the Federal Reserve Board and Regulations B, X and Z of the CFPB).

Agreed Interest Rate means interest compounded on a monthly basis, at the rate per annum equal to nine percent (9%), applicable on the first Business Day prior to the due date of payment and thereafter on the first Business Day of each succeeding calendar month. If the aforesaid rate is contrary to any applicable usury Law / Regulation, the rate of interest to be charged shall be the maximum rate permitted by such applicable Law / Regulation.

If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automati- cally be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.

It is the intention of Payee and Maker to comply strictly with any applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall the holder of this Note ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum effective contract rate which Payee may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that the holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, all lawful interest thereon and all lawful fees and charges in connection therewith, are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by Maker shall, to the maximum extent permitted under 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. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between the holder hereof and Maker, that operates to bind, obligate, or compel Maker to pay interest in excess of such maximum effective contract rate shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained in this Note or in any other agreement between the holder of this Note and Maker that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

To the extent it may lawfully do so, the [[Organization A:Organization]] hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take, the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Investor in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the [[Organization A:Organization]] under this Note for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the [[Organization A:Organization]] may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate of interest applicable to this Note from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the [[Organization A:Organization]] to any Investor with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this Note, such excess shall be applied by such Investor to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the [[Organization A:Organization]], the manner of handling such excess to be at such Investor’s election.
