the party that is entitled to benefit thereof. Such waiver must be in writing
and must be executed by an executive officer of such party. A waiver on one

or by law or, otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.
6. Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing duly
executed by all parties.

in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah (without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law) applicable to a contract executed and
performable in such state.

have received from the others all information requested and have had an adequate
opportunity to investigate all aspects of this transaction. Each party has done
its own due diligence with respect to this transaction.
12. Invalid Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal;
invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or
obligations under this Agreement of Security National and Xxxx Xxxxxx will not
be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully
severable; (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof;
and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision or by its severance from this Agreement.
