facsimile or nationally-recognized express delivery service and deemed given
upon receipt. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not act to
amend or negate the rights of the waiving party. If any provision contained
in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed
and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the original
intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement
will remain in full force and effect.
