Interpretation of Agreement It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.
Application and Interpretation For the purposes of this Chapter:
Interpretation and Intent 3.1 The Contract Documents are intended to permit the parties to complete the Work and all obligations required by the Contract Documents within the Contract Time(s) for the Contract Price. The Contract Documents are intended to be complementary and interpreted in harmony so as to avoid conflict, with words and phrases interpreted in a manner consistent with construction and design industry standards. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity between or among the Contract Documents, the Contract Documents shall take precedence in the order in which they are listed in Section 2.1 hereof.
Terms and Interpretation In this Agreement:
Construction and Interpretation Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the parties hereto agree that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be more strictly construed against the party that itself, or through its agent, prepared the same, and it is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Company and Executive and each of his and its representatives, legal and otherwise, have participated in the preparation hereof.
Definition and Interpretation 1.1 Except as otherwise defined in the terms or context hereof, the following terms in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:
Severability and Interpretation If a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms. Further, in the event that any provision is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to law and enforced as amended.
Definitions and Interpretation 1.1 In this Agreement:
Definitions and Interpretations The terms "specifically approved at least annually," "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities," "assignment," "affiliated person," and "interested person," when used in this Agreement, shall have the respective meanings specified, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Federal Securities Acts") shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the Federal Securities Acts and to interpretations thereof, if any, by United States federal courts or, in the absence of any controlling decisions of any such court, by rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Where the effect of a requirement of the Federal Securities Acts reflected in any provision of this Agreement is revised by rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such provisions shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule or regulation.
Clarifications and Interpretations It may be determined that clarifications or interpretations of the Contract Documents are necessary. Upon direction by the ODR such clarifications or interpretations will be provided by the A/E consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. The A/E will issue these clarifications with reasonable promptness to the Contractor as Architect’s Supplemental Instruction (ASI) or similar instrument. If Contractor believes that such clarification or interpretation justifies an adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time, the Contractor shall so notify the Owner in accordance with the provisions of Article 11.
