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.

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

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
