mutandis.

arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement.

5.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all
other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in

Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
