If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held or declared to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, for any reason, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, unenforceability, or illegality shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this 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 hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
