7.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of
this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never
been contained herein unless the deletion of such provision or provisions would result in such a material change as to cause
completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable.
