The parties shall meet and confer in good faith with respect to any provision found to be in contravention of the law in order to agree on a substitute provision. Any heading, caption or section title contained herein is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. All terms defined in the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified.
