any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the parties
hereto agree that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply

strictly construed against the party who itself or through its agents prepared
the same, it being agreed that Borrower, Lender and their respective agents have
participated in the preparation hereof.

parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties.

Subsidiaries executing, this Loan Agreement or any other loan document
associated with this Loan.

OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT

hereunder and the agreements, covenants, representations, and warranties of the
other Subsidiaries.
8.24 No Inference of Extension
Past Maturity Date. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the terms, conditions, and requirements provided for herein that would,
by their express terms, be applicable to time periods after the Maturity Date of
the Note, are not to be interpreted as an inference that the Lender has agreed
to any extension, automatic or otherwise, to the extension of the Maturity
