                    agreement and  understanding  among the Parties with respect
                    to the subject  matter  hereof and supersede and preempt any
                    prior understandings,  agreements,  or representations by or
                    among the Parties,  written or oral,  which may have related
                    to the subject matter hereof in any way.

               9.9  Severability.  Whenever  possible,  each  provision  of this
                    Agreement  will  be  interpreted  in  such  manner  as to be
                    effective  and  valid  under  applicable  law,  but  if  any
                    provision of this  Agreement is held to be  prohibited by or
                    invalid  under   applicable  law,  such  provision  will  be
                    ineffective  only  to the  extent  of  such  prohibition  or
                    invalidity,  without  invalidating  the  remainder  of  this
                    Agreement.

               9.10 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
                    counterparts,   any  one  of  which  need  not  contain  the
                    signatures of more than one Party, but all such counterparts
                    taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

               9.11 Descriptive  Headings.  The  descriptive  headings  of  this
                    Agreement  are  inserted  for  convenience  only  and do not
                    constitute a part of this Agreement.

               9.12 Terminology.  As  used  in this  Agreement,  the  masculine,
                    feminine,  or  neuter  gender,  and the  singular  or plural
                    number,  shall be deemed to include the others  whenever the
                    context so indicates or requires.

               9.13 Legal Fees. If any legal action or any  arbitration or other
                    proceeding is brought for the enforcement or  interpretation
                    of  this  Agreement,  or  because  of  an  alleged  dispute,
                    default, misrepresentation, or breach in connection with any
                    of the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  the  successful  or
                    prevailing  party or parties  shall be  entitled  to recover
                    reasonably  attorneys'  fees,  expenses,   and  other  costs
                    incurred  in that  action or  proceeding  in addition to any
                    other relief to which it or he may be entitled. The right to
                    such attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs shall be deemed to
                    have accrued upon the  commencement of such action and shall
                    be  enforceable  whether or not such action is prosecuted to
                    judgment.

               9.14 Broker's or Finder's Fees. Each of the Parties represents to
                    each of the others that it or he does not have any liability
                    to any  broker  or any  representative,  nor  owe any fee or
                    compensation to any agent,  finder, or broker, in connection
                    with the subject matter of this Agreement,  and each of them
                    hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party
                    against any liability, damage, cost, or

                    Agreement, is familiar with the terms and conditions herein,
                    and was advised by legal counsel with respect thereto.  Each
                    Party agrees that the terms and  conditions set forth herein
                    are fair and not unconscionable.

               9.16 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall
                    create   a   partnership,    joint    venture,    employment
                    relationship,  or any other relationship between the Parties

                    documents,  and statements  including,  without  limitation,
                    instruments  and  documents  of  assignment,  transfer,  and
                    conveyance,  and take such other action as may be reasonably
                    necessary or convenient in the  discretion of the requesting
                    Party to carry out more  effectively  the  purposes  of this
