If any term of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Parties shall direct such court to revise any provision determined to be invalid or unenforceable to the extent required to make it valid and enforceable, consistent with the original intent of the Parties to the maximum possible extent.

The terms "including," "include," "includes" or "for example" shall not limit the generality of any description preceding such term and as used herein shall have the same meaning as "including, but not limited to" or "including, without limitation." The words "will" and "shall" as used in this Agreement are deemed to be interchangeable. No rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party that drafted such terms and provisions.
