After the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) following the date of the Note, the Borrower shall have no right of prepayment.
With respect to any loan or forbearance other than the above described residential mortgage loans, the term interest for purposes of New York civil and criminal usuary statutes, means all amounts paid or payable, directly or indirectly, by any person, to or for the account of the lender which would be includible as interest under New York law as it existed prior to the enactment of (section 14-a of the New York Banking Law chapter 349 of the laws of 1968.
One of the cases cited is Funding Group v Water Chef, Inc. where the courts found both the converted shares and the late payment penalty usurious under New York criminal usury laws. Would the prepayment penalty in the KBM note also be above the criminal usuary limits since the amounts are documented in the note from it's inception?
