Complete Agreement; Modifications: This Agreement cancels and supersedes
all prior negotiations and understandings between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, and contains all of the terms, conditions and promises of the
parties hereto in the premises. No modification of any provision hereof shall be
valid or binding unless in writing. No officer, or representative of REGENT has any
authority to make any representation or promise not contained in this Agreement, and
HERE expressly agree that neither party has executed this Agreement in reliance on
any such representation or promise. Nothing herein contained shall be construed so
as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and if there is any
conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any present or future statute,
law, ordinance, regulation or provision of any applicable collective bargaining
agreement contrary to which the parties have no legal right to contract, the latter
shall prevail, but in such event, the provision of this Agreement affected shall be
curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to make it consistent with such
legal requirements or provisions. This Agreement is not a partnership between or
joint venture by the parties hereto and neither party is the agent of the other.
This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party, whether or not referred to
herein. This Agreement may be signed in counterpart, each of which shall be deemed

enforced, the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall continue in
