(l) Interpretation. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaind

(m) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
