Upon a determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law 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 fullest extent possible.

11


United States or any other country or jurisdiction. The Parties agree that Licensee and its Group will retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
