MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
8.1  
Invalidity.  Any provision of this Agreement which is or is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality, and shall not effect in any way the validity, enforceability or legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, it being the intent and purpose that this Agreement should survive and be valid to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  For greater certainty, this Agreement shall be read as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision had never formed part of this Agreement, and a “provision” for these purposes shall include the smallest severable portion of sections, paragraphs or clauses, or sentences contained herein, and not, unless the context absolutely requires, the whole thereof.
 
8.2  
Governing Law; Submission.  This Agreement and the legal relations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties hereto shall be governed by, the laws in force in the Province of British Columbia.  There shall be no application of any principle of conflict of laws which could result in the application of any other laws or systems of laws.  Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia.
 
8.3  
Enurement and Assignment.  This Agreement shall enure to the benefit and be binding upon the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No party to this Agreement may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement.

8.4  
Waivers.  For the purposes of this Agreement,
 
(a)  
no failure on the part of any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of their failure, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any further or other exercise of such right or remedy;
 
(b)  
no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, including this section, shall be effective otherwise than by an instrument in writing dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement, executed by, or by duly authorized representatives of, the party making such waiver; and
 
(c)  
this Agreement shall not be varied or amended in its terms by oral agreement or by representations or otherwise except by an instrument, in writing dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement, executed by, or by duly authorized representatives of, parties to this Agreement.
 
8.5  
Third Party Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create any rights in favour of any persons other than the Vendor, the Purchaser, and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.  In particular, the indemnification rights set out in sections 6.2 and 6.3 of this Agreement are personal to the persons specifically named therein and may not be relied upon by, or assigned by such persons (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) to, any other person without the prior written consent of the party providing such indemnity, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld.
 
8.6  
Time of Essence.  In this Agreement, time is of the essence.
