Severability. If any term or other provision of this Termination Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Termination Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Termination Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any 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 Termination Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Termination Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
