The contract would still be invalid regardless of what exceptions were
written in it, it would be an illegal contract. Try assisted suicide
and see how many fancy agreements and lawyers got around that one.
Plain and simply the law states that you cannot write up contracts that
violate applicable laws, if it were otherwise there would in fact be no law.

Unless of course there is an exception to the "loan sharking" law that
says if you have the document notarized then it is ok to charge rates
above 60%. Carefully read the exemptions, as it isn't black and white,
and the "illegal" part isn't necessarily there.

An interesting fact in law is that you cannot have someone sign an
agreement to circumvent applicable laws and then claim indemnity. For
example, charging interest rates above a certain amount is illegal
(loansharking). Let's say the that rates above 60% P.A. are illegal.
If you loan me money and tell me outright upfront that you will charge
me 120% interest, and if I sign the loan agreement and accept your
terms, you are still guilty of loansharking and if I were to take you
to court you would lose. Even if I signed and accepted your contract
you would still lose because the contract violates the law, it is an
illegal contract.

If you accepted the agreement which is necessary for use, you have
