RATIFICATION AND CONTINUED VALIDITY.

Consent to this Agreement does not waive the right to strictly enforce any rights under this Agreement or the instruments evidencing the Existing Debt. Consent to this Agreement does not require the Parties to enter into another agreement like this one in the future. The Parties and Lender agree that this Agreement shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of the Existing Debt, but a restatement of the Existing Debt with modifications.
OTHER RESPONSIBLE PARTIES. Any Parties liable for the Existing Debt, including without limitation, cosigners, guarantors, and hypothecators, are not relieved of any obligation except as expressly relieved in this Agreement or any other writing. The liability of any Party who signed the instruments evidencing the Existing Debt, whether primary or secondary, continues in full force and effect, even if that Party does not sign this Agreement.
PARAGRAPH HEADINGS; SINGULAR AND PLURAL TERMS. Paragraph headings of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the Parties and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement. Whoever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders.
