            (b) Fair Meaning; Drafting Responsibility. The language in all parts

            (c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then that provision shall be reformed to the
maximum extent permitted to preserve the parties' original intent as agreed by
the parties hereunder; failing which, such provision shall be severed from this
Agreement with the balance of the Agreement continuing in full force and effect.
Such occurrence shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question
invalid in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance, or of
rendering invalid any other provisions of this Agreement to the extent that such
other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with any applicable
law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a provision to be reformed or
severed, will, if so reformed or severed, materially alter the parties' original
intent as agreed by the parties hereunder such that a party would be required to
perform without receiving a material portion of the consideration which it would
have received hereunder (determined without reforming or severing the
provision), such party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
notice to the other party, to be effective upon receipt.

subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed
part of this Agreement.

      12. Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any
term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver
or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to
that term or any other term of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in writing.
Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not
operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision
or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

      13. Confidentiality. Subject to applicable law, the parties acknowledge
and agree that this Agreement and each of its provisions are confidential and
shall be treated strictly confidentially. During the term of this Agreement and
thereafter, neither party nor its affiliates, permitted assigns or designees,
employees or agents shall disclose any terms or information pertaining to any
provision of this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written
consent of the other party, with the exception of a party's tax, legal or
accounting advisors agreeing to maintain confidentiality, or as otherwise
required by applicable law.
