Blue Pencil Doctrine. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable under applicable law, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected.

The provisions of this Agreement will, where possible, be interpreted so as to sustain its legality and enforceability.
Blue Pencil Doctrine. The covenants set forth in this Section 11 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant.

Blue Pencil Doctrine. In the event that any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Article shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographic area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, then such restrictive covenant shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it reasonable and enforceable under the circumstances.

If the duration of, the scope of, or any business activity covered by any provision of this Section 14 is in excess of what is determined to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision will be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable, and Employer and Executive consent to the judicial modification of the scope and duration of the restrictions in this Section 14 in any proceeding brought to enforce such restrictions so as to make them valid, reasonable and enforceable. Executive hereby acknowledges that this Section 14 will be given the construction, which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law.

Blue Pencil Doctrine. If the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, this Section 7.11 are in excess of what is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, geographical extent or activities that are valid and enforceable.
