(i)          Savings Clause. No provision of this Agreement or of any Other Agreement shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. In the event Goodman ever receives, collects or applies as  interest  hereunder or  under any Other Agreement  any amount in excess of the maximum  amount  permitted by applicable law, such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations of Client and, if the principal of such Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Client. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the maximum rate permitted  by applicable  law, Client and Goodman  shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including Section 306.00I (I) of  the  Texas Finance Code, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium  rather than as  interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Agreement so that interest for the entire term does not exceed  the maximum rate permitted  by law.   If at any time the  interest rate set forth in this Agreement or any Other Agreement exceeds the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, the interest rate will be deemed to be such maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law.
 
(j)          Multiple Clients. Each Client acknowledges that the successful operation and condition of each Client individually is dependent on the successful operation and condition of all Clients collectively. Each Client further acknowledges that it expects to derive benefit from the successful operation and condition of each other Client and from any Advances or financial accommodations extended by Goodman to each or any other Client. Each Client agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Goodman the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations. Each Client agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until cash payment in full of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and  unconditional, irrespective of any action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except cash payment in full of all Obligations. Each Client agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any olher Client with respect to any liability incurred by such Client hereunder or under any Other Agreement, any payments  made by it to  Goodman  with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each reference to Client means each Client individually and all Clients collectively.
