7.11 | Professional Fees and Costs. If any Proceeding is brought or undertaken to enforce this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach or default in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the successful or prevailing Party or Parties in such undertaking shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s and other professional fees and other costs incurred in such Proceeding in addition to any other relief to which such Party may be entitled. The Parties intend this provision to be given the most liberal construction possible and to apply to any circumstances in which such Party reasonably incurs expenses. |
7.12 | Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired. Any illegal or unenforceable term will be deemed to be void and of no force and effect only to the minimum extent necessary to bring such term within the provisions of applicable law and such term, as so modified, and the balance of this Agreement will then be fully enforceable. The Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. |
