Affiliates. Each Party may perform its obligations hereunder personally or through one or more Affiliates, although each Party shall nonetheless be solely responsible for the performance of its Affiliates.

11.5

No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative.

11.6

Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under law in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties as nearly as may be possible.
