A savings clause is a provision in a contract that ensures the remainder of the agreement remains enforceable even if one part is found invalid or unenforceable. It serves to preserve the integrity of the contract by allowing it to function to the greatest extent possible, notwithstanding the invalidated sections.
6. SAVINGS CLAUSE This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

8.12Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, each provision in this Plan shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable.
Section 3.07. Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

If any provision of this Amendment or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Amendment or the Employment Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Amendment and the Employment Agreement are declared to be severable. Subject to the foregoing, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Amendment so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent reasonably practicable.

11.409A Savings Clause. All amounts payable hereunder are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
8.3 Savings Clause. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, each provision in this Plan shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be legally invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, only that particular provision shall be affected, such determination shall have no effect whatsoever on any other provision of this Agreement, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
7. SAVINGS CLAUSE This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is not the intention of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
7. Usury Savings Clause. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, no provision contained in this Note which purports to obligate the Payor to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent it calls for the payment of any interest or other amount in excess of such maximum. If interest would otherwise be payable to Payee in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Payee shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If Payee receives anything of value to deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall, at the option of Payee, be refunded to Payor or be applied to the reduction of the amount owed under this Note, as if a regular payment were made or, if such excessive interest exceeds the amounts owing under this Note, such excess shall be refunded to Payor.
10. Savings Clause. Any provision herein or in any other agreement or commitment between the Borrower and the Lender, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender shall never be entitled to charge, receive, or collect, nor shall amounts received hereunder be credited as interest so that the Lender shall be paid, a sum greater than interest at the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time may be contracted for, charged, received, or collected on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). It is the intention of the parties that the Note shall comply with applicable law. If the Lender ever contracts for, charges, receives, or collects, anything of value which is deemed to be interest under applicable law, and if the occurrence of any circumstance or contingency, whether acceleration of maturity of the Note, delay in advancing proceeds of the Note; or other event, should cause such interest to exceed interest at the Maximum Rate, any such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note or any other indebtedness owed to the Lender by the Borrower, and if the Note and such other indebtedness is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest hereon exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread throughout the entire term of the Note until its payment in full in a manner which will cause the interest rate on the Note not to exceed the Maximum Rate.
14. Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Note, the Payee shall not be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on this Note any amount in excess of the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto. If the Payee 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 Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall promptly be paid to the Maker.
9.Section 409A Savings Clause To the extent applicable, this incentive plan is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the US Internal Revenue Code. The incentive plan shall be construed, administered and governed in a manner consistent with this intent. Any provision that would cause any amount payable under this plan to be includable in the individual’s gross income under Section 409A(a)(1) shall have no force and effect unless and until amended to cause such amount to be not so includable. Such amendment (a) may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A and (b) may be made by the company without the consent of any individual employee. No payment of compensation subject to Section 409A may be accelerated, except as provided in guidance promulgated under Section 409A.
SAVINGS CLAUSE. In no event shall the amount of interest or charges paid hereunder, together will all amounts reserved, charged, or taken by Lender as compensation for fees, services, or expenses incidental to making, negotiation, or collection of the loan evidenced hereby exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof, charges or compensation for fees, services, or expenses allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate or amount, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt.
9. Usury Savings Clause. It is the intention of the Parties hereto to comply with applicable state and federal usury laws from time to time in effect. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or any other documents related hereto, in any event (including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation) will this Note or any such other document require the payment or permit the collection or receipt of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate. If under any circumstance whatsoever, any provision of the Note or of any other document pertaining hereto will provide for the payment, collection or receipt of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if, from any such circumstances, the Holder will ever receive anything of value as interest (or anything of value deemed interest by applicable law) under this Note, or any other document pertaining hereto, an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owning under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Note 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 the Holder, under any specified contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Company and the Holder will, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium, rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness (including any extension or renewal) so that interest thereon does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (iv) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.
A Savings Clause is a provision within a contract that ensures that if one part of the contract is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of law, the remainder of the contract will still be enforceable and valid. It essentially “saves” the rest of the contract from being voided if a specific provision cannot be upheld.
You should use a Savings Clause when you want to safeguard the enforceability of a contract. This clause is particularly useful in complex agreements where there are many provisions and the risk of one part being invalidated could undermine the entire contract.
To write a Savings Clause, ensure clarity and specificity. Here is a simple template:
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Modify the clause to fit the specific needs of your contract.
