an arm's length negotiation between the Parties. In the event any ambiguity is found to exist in
the interpretation of this Agreement or any of its provisions, the Parties, and each of them,
explicitly reject the application of any legal or equitable rule of interpretation which would lead
to a construction either "for" or "against" a particular party based upon their status as the drafter
of a specific term, language, or provision giving rise to such ambiguity.
8. ENFORCEABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement,
whether standing alone or as applied to a particular occurrence or circumstance, shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or of any other
applications of such provision, as the case may be, and such invalid or unenforceable provision
shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.
