16. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be interpreted according to the
laws of the State where the Leased Property is located. Except as specifically
set forth herein, no party shall assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written approval of the other parties. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral
or written, and all other communications among the parties relating to such
subject matter. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by
mutual written agreement. The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of
any provisions of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be, a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. In the
event any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid for
any reason, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable
in accordance with its terms disregarding such unenforceable or invalid
provision. The captions or headings in this Agreement are made for convenience
and general reference only and should not be construed to describe, define or
limit the scope and intent of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original
and taken together shall constitute one and the same document. Signature and
acknowledgement pages, if any, may be detached from the counterparts and
attached to a single copy of this document to physically form one document.
Subject to the provisions set forth above regarding assignment by either party,
this Agreement shall be binding and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, and their respective heirs, legatees, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns. The parties acknowledge that all
parties hereto, and their counsel, have read and fully negotiated all of the
language used in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, because all
parties and their counsel participated in negotiating and drafting this
Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to this Agreement which construes
ambiguous and unclear language in favor of or against any party because such
party drafted this Agreement. With respect to all provisions of this Agreement,
time is of the essence. The word "including", when following any general
statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term
or matter to the specific terms or matters as provided immediately following the
word "including" or to similar items or matters, whether or not nonlimiting
language (such as "without limitation", "but not limited to", or words of
similar import) is used with reference to the word "including" or the similar
items or matters, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or
matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of the
general statement, term or matter. References to any party in the singular, or
as "him," "her," "it," "its," "itself," or other like references, shall also be
deemed to include the plural or the masculine or feminine references, as the
case may be. References to any of the parties in the plural, or as "they,"
"them," "their" or other like references, shall also be deemed to include the
singular reference.
17. EXECUTION BY TELEFACSIMILE. Any copy of this Agreement bearing a
signature of a party to this Agreement and sent by facsimile to any other party
shall be deemed a manually-executed original of this Agreement, and shall be
deemed sufficient to bind such party.
