Severability; Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable, or void by the final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction and all appeals therefrom shall have failed or the time for such appeals shall have expired, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section 5.5, such clause or provision shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement but the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be given full force and effect. In the event this Agreement or any portion hereof is more restrictive than permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought, this Agreement or such portion shall be limited in that jurisdiction only, and shall be enforced in that jurisdiction as so limited to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that jurisdiction.
Severability; Enforceability. If all or any portion of any provision of this Agreement as applied to any person, to any place or to any circumstance shall be ruled by an arbitration commission or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the same shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by Law) that provision or the remaining portions of that provision as applied to any parties, places or circumstances or any other provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole.
Severability; Enforceability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held or deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason, such term or provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only, and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The Company and Employee desire and intend that the restrictions be given effect to the maximum extent permitted by law and equity. They therefore respectfully request that any restriction determined to be over broad in any manner shall be interpreted or reformed to give that restriction the maximum effect permissible by applicable law and equity, and Employee agrees to the enforcement of the restriction as so modified.
Severability; Enforceability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective while this Agreement remains in effect, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Severability; Enforceability. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, the other portions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative and, so far as is reasonable and possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth in any covenant contained herein are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed. Each of the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.
Severability; Enforceability. In the event that the provisions of the Sections captioned "Competing Business" or "No Solicitation" or "Confidentiality" or any portion thereof, should ever be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in proceedings to which the Company is a proper party to exceed the time or geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions will be deemed reformed to the maximum time or other limitations permitted by applicable law, as determined by such court in such action, the parties hereby acknowledging their desire that in such event such action be taken. Without limiting the foregoing, the covenants contained herein will be construed as separate covenants covering their respective subject matters, including, without limitation, with respect to (a) each of the separate cities, counties, metropolitan areas, and each other political subdivision of the United States in which any of the Company or its successors now transact any business or propose to transact business, (b) each business now conducted by the Company or its successors, and (c) the Company and its successors separately. In addition to the above, all provisions of this Agreements are severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement or portions or aspects thereof will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, or portion of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect as if executed with the unenforceable or invalid provision or portion or aspect thereof modified, as set forth above.
Severability; Enforceability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision(s), consistent with the intent of the Parties at the time of its execution. If deletion of such provision materially alters the basis of this Agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate a good faith alternative.
Severability; Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited, unenforceable, or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Severability; Enforceability. If any provision of this Lease, or its application to any person, is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or its application will not be affected. Each term and provision of this Lease will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding any language in this Lease to the contrary, if the Lease Term does not commence on or before January 1, 2010, this Lease will automatically terminate, and neither party will have any further liability to the other.
Severability; Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement without violating applicable law.
