Hello,
Can someone tell me what the term "Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding" mean.
My guess is that the term renders the previous text subordinate; what about the subsequent text. Or am I off base?

notwithstanding

adv : despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession); "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"; "while we disliked each other, nevertheless we agreed"; "he was a stern yet fair master"; "granted that it is dangerous, all the same I still want to go" [syn: however, nevertheless, withal, still, yet, all the same, even so, nonetheless]

It renders all contrary text in the document subordinate.

Thanks for the quick response; I had the definition but the “It renders all contrary text in the document subordinate" cleared it up for me.

Thanks again
