The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. References herein to the “knowledge” of a Party, shall mean the knowledge of such Party and any of its officers or management level personnel, as a prudent business person, could have obtained after making reasonable inquiry with respect to the particular matter in question, including reasonable inquiry of any other appropriate employees and contractors of such Party.
