The parties further affirm that they are waiving separate representation freely,
voluntarily, and with full knowledge of the effect of this waiver. NO party

respect because of the lack of use of independent counsel, or that the legal
counsel who prepared this Agreement acted improperly in doing so.

restriction on time and geographic area contained in the Covenant Not to Compete
and Confidential Information provisions of this Agreement, is found in binding
arbitration or by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, the attempt shall first be made to read that provision
in such a way to make it valid and enforceable in light of the parties' apparent
intent as evidenced by this Agreement. If such a reading is impossible, the
tribunal having jurisdiction may revise the provision in any reasonable manner,
to the extent necessary to make it binding and enforceable. If no such revision
is possible, the offending provision shall be deemed stricken from the
