provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated
hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon
such
determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to
modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as

respect to this Agreement or otherwise, by way of a claim or counterclaim,

parties agree that in any such action, and on all issues, the parties
irrevocably waive their right to a trial by jury. Exclusive jurisdiction and
