(g) No funding, facilities, or personnel of any governmental entity or educational institution were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any of the Purchased IP Rights that would impair an Asset Selling Corporation’s control of the Purchased IP Rights or would grant licenses to such entity or institution. The Asset Selling Corporations have not made any submission or suggestion to, and are not subject to any agreement with, any standards bodies or other entities that would obligate the Asset Selling Corporations to grant licenses to or otherwise impair its control of the Purchased IP Rights.

(h) No proceedings, claims or actions have been instituted or are pending against the Asset Selling Corporations, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, are threatened, that challenge the right of the Asset Selling Corporations with respect to the use or ownership of the Purchased IP Rights.

The Asset Selling Corporations have not received any written notice alleging (i) the invalidity of any of the Purchased IP Rights,or (ii) the infringement, misappropriation or breach of any Intellectual Property rights of others by the Asset Selling Corporations relating to stents for transcervical sterilization or stent-like devices for transcervical sterilization. The Purchased IP Rights are not subject to any outstanding judgment, decree, order, writ, award, injunction or determination of an arbitrator or court or other Governmental Authority (other than the U.S. or other national patent office) affecting the rights of the Asset Selling Corporations with respect thereto.

(i) Neither the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement will, with or without notice or the lapse of time, result in, or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare, (i) a loss of, or Lien on, any Purchased IP Rights; or (ii) a breach of, termination of, or acceleration or modification of any right or obligation under any Contract listed in Schedules 3.9(b); or (iii) the grant, assignment, or transfer to any other Person of any license or other right or interest under, to, or in any of the Purchased IP Rights.

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

5.1 Further Assurances.

(a) Subject and in addition to Section 2.1(b), at any time after the Closing Date, Parent shall, and, as applicable shall cause the other Asset Selling Corporations to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any further deeds, assignments, conveyances and other assurances and documents and instruments of transfer reasonably requested by Purchaser and necessary for Parent to comply with its covenants contained herein and, at Purchaser’s expense, will take any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by Purchaser for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, vesting and confirming ownership in or to Purchaser, or reducing to Purchaser’s possession, any or all of the Conveyed Assets.

(b) If, after the Closing Date, Parent determines that any Technology (for use primarily in (i) stents for transcervical sterilization, or (ii) stent-like devices for transcervical sterilization) that it owned on the Closing Date was not included in the Conveyed Assets, then Parent shall promptly notify Purchaser of such determination, and, subject to Section 5.1(d), amend Schedule 2.1(a)(ii) to include such Technology, assign any rights in such Technology to Purchaser, and promptly deliver such Technology to Purchaser (in a manner consistent with the assignment and delivery at Closing). Subject to Section 5.1(a), the amendment of Schedule 2.1(a)(ii) and delivery of the Technology (and assignment of rights in such Technology) as set forth above shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy with respect to the omission of any such Technology from the Conveyed Assets.

include such Registered IP and Parent shall assign any rights in such Registered IP to Purchaser and promptly deliver all applicable documentation and files in its possession or control relating to such Registered IP (in a manner consistent with the assignment and delivery at Closing). Subject to Section 5.1(a), the amendment of Schedule 2.1(a)(ii) as set forth above, assignment of ownership, and delivery of documentation and files shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy with respect to the omission of any such Registered IP from the Conveyed Assets.

(d) If the amendment, assignment or delivery described in this Section 5.1 requires the release or waiver of Liens or restrictions encumbering the assets to be so assigned or delivered, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such release or waiver as soon as practicable, and such amendment, assignment and/or delivery shall occur promptly after such release or waiver is obtained.

5.2 Purchaser’s Investigation; No Additional Representations. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement, Parent has not made and shall have no Liability for any representation or warranty, express or implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Conveyed Assets and/or the Asset Selling Corporations furnished to Purchaser or its representatives in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence review of the Conveyed Assets and/or the Asset Selling Corporations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as specifically set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have any claim or right to recovery pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise, and none of Parent, the Seller Indemnified Parties or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser, any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or any other person, with respect to (i) any information, documents or materials furnished, delivered or made available by the Asset Selling Corporations or their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors to Purchaser or its Affiliates, in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or any other form in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the confidential memoranda and/or other information prepared or delivered by Parent and any of its advisors, or (ii) any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of future revenue, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Conveyed Assets or the future business, operations or affairs of the Conveyed Assets heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Purchaser or its representatives or Affiliates.

The parties and their respective Affiliates will cooperate in timely preparing and filing all Tax Returns that may be required to comply with Law relating to such Taxes. To the extent that one party claims any exemptions from any such Taxes (it being understood that each party shall claim any such exemptions available to it), such party shall provide to the other party the appropriate exemption certificates. For clarity, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any and all fees associated with the recording of the assignment of the Purchased IP Rights in any national patent or trademark office.

(b) The parties will make payments to each other to the extent necessary so that the Asset Selling Corporations shall bear the cost of personal property and other similar Taxes imposed on the Conveyed Assets which are due and payable during the Tax periods ending prior to or on the Closing Date (and, with respect to any Straddle Taxable Period, on a per diem basis up to and including the Closing Date) and Purchaser shall bear the cost of real property, personal property, and other similar Taxes imposed on the Conveyed Assets which are due and payable during Tax periods ending after the Closing Date (and, with respect to any Straddle Taxable Period, on a per diem basis following the Closing Date), such payments to be made as soon as practicable after the Closing in each case after the amount of such Taxes has been determined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Straddle Taxable Period” means any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date and ending on or after the Closing Date.

(c) Each of the parties and their Affiliates shall provide the other party with such information and records and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other proceeding that relates to the Conveyed Assets.

5.6 Trademarks; Names. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall ensure that its employees and representatives do not, represent itself or themselves as Parent or as employees or representatives of any of the Asset Selling Corporations. Purchaser shall take appropriate action to remove, cease to use and/or cover the “American Medical Systems” name

Execution Copy

The Asset Selling Corporations shall take appropriate action to remove, cease to use and/or cover the “Ovion” name and logo from all of its materials (including invoices, packaging and other promotional material), signage, telephone listings, letterhead, and other similar materials and documentation.

5.7 Non-Compete.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or significantly participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business endeavor engaged in the research, development, testing, manufacturing, marketing or selling of products in the field of permanent female sterilization (the “Restricted Business”).

(b) For a period of four (4) years after the Restricted Period, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or significantly participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business endeavor engaged in the research, development, testing, manufacturing, marketing or selling of permanent female sterilization products consisting of a stent-like device delivered transcervically using a catheter.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time all or substantially all of Parent’s business is acquired by, sold, or otherwise transferred, regardless of the legal form of such transaction or series of transactions, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.7 shall not apply to or in any way restrict the purchaser or transferee, Parent or their respective Affiliates with respect to the products that such Person is researching, developing, testing, manufacturing, marketing or selling immediately prior to the consummation of the acquisition, sale or other transfer of Parent’s business; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be interpreted as granting any Asset Selling Corporation or any successor entity a license in or to any of the Purchased IP Rights.

5.8 Assignment and Assumption of the Settlement and License Agreement. Pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Settlement and License Agreement, Parent shall cause Ovion Inc. to assign its rights and delegate its duties under the Settlement and License Agreement to Purchaser, and the parties hereby agree that all rights to receive royalties, and other rights granted to Ovion Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, are hereby immediately and automatically terminated and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the releases contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Settlement and License Agreement are unaffected by this Section 5.8 and remain in full force and effect; and (b) Purchaser shall pay to Ovion Inc. at the Closing a royalty payment in the amount of Eight Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($866,000) in cash (the “Royalty Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Parent. Ovion Inc.’s duties under the Settlement and License Agreement shall be Assumed Liabilities hereunder and the Settlement and License Agreement shall be an

Assumed Contract hereunder. Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement (including Purchaser’s payment of the Royalty Payment at the Closing) satisfies any and all payment obligations of Purchaser under the Settlement and License Agreement, including any obligation of Purchaser to make any royalty payment for the period ended September 30, 2009. Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably, perpetually and forever releases and discharges Purchaser and its Affiliates from any and all claims and Liabilities of any nature, in each case whether known or unknown, arising out of the Settlement and License Agreement. Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably, perpetually and forever releases and discharges Parent and its Affiliates from any and all claims and Liabilities of any nature, in each case whether known or unknown, arising out of the Settlement and License Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser, each on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates, each expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits, if any, arising under the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

The failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to give any such Claim Notice in a reasonably prompt manner shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have forty-five (45) days from the delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim and (b) whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim; any failure to so notify the Indemnified Party within such 45-day period shall be deemed an agreement that the Indemnified Party shall have the sole power to direct and control the defense of such Claim. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party, during the period the Indemnifying Party is determining whether to elect to assume the defense of a matter covered by this Section 6.4, may take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary to preserve any and all rights with respect to the matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Claim for which it is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to defend, settle or compromise any Claim with respect to which it has agreed in writing to waive its right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement with respect to attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and 50% of the amount of any settlement or judgment in connection with such Claim. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall direct, control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party Claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts in the defense of all claims hereunder. Any dispute regarding the obligation of a party hereto to indemnify, defend and hold harmless another party with respect to a claimed Loss shall be resolved by appropriate legal proceedings, which may remain pending during or after the defense of such claimed Loss. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, with respect to any Claims regarding the ownership, validity, or scope of the Purchased IP Rights for which Purchaser seeks indemnification under this Agreement: (y) Purchaser shall control all correspondence with, and any legal or other proceedings before, any Governmental Authority (other than judicial authority), such as by way of example only, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and Parent’s indemnification obligations in connection with such Claim shall be limited to 50% of the amount of attorneys’ and consultants’ fees incurred by Purchaser in such proceedings; and (z) in the course of Parent’s defense or settlement of such Claims by third parties with respect to which Parent is controlling the defense hereunder, Parent may not settle or compromise any Claim, or make any admission or stipulation, that affects the scope, validity, ownership, license or control of any Purchased IP Rights, without the specific prior written consent of Purchaser on a case-by-case basis, such

consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, that if Purchaser conditions or withholds consent, Purchaser shall assume control with respect to such Claim, and Parent’s indemnification obligations in connection with such Claim shall be limited to 50% of the amount of further attorneys’ and consultants’ fees incurred by Purchaser in such action and 50% of the amount of any settlement or judgment in connection with such Claim. In any event, the Indemnifying Party’s liability hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.2(b) and 6.3(b).

6.5 Exclusive Remedy; Limitation of Remedy. The parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, except to the extent set forth in Sections 5.1 and 7.2, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise.

6.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by Parent or Purchaser to the other under this Article 6 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

6.7 Computation of Losses Subject to Indemnification. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 6 or otherwise in this Agreement shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds when actually received by the Indemnified Party (less its reasonable costs of enforcing the insurance) from the Indemnifying Party’s insurance carrier(s); provided that such indemnification amounts shall be paid when due pursuant to the terms hereof and the Indemnified Party, upon receipt of such proceeds, shall transfer to the Indemnifying Party the entire amount of such proceeds.

6.8 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any provision herein, neither Parent and/or any of the Asset Selling Corporations, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall in any event be liable to the other party or such party’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives on account of any indemnification obligation set forth in this Article 6 for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages (including, lost profits, damage to goodwill or loss of business) except if held responsible for such by third parties.

6.9 Mitigation. An Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Losses to which it may become entitled to indemnification hereunder.

6.10 Waiver of Conditions; Indemnity. The parties acknowledge and agree that if Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach by Parent of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and Purchaser proceeds with the Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such breach and Purchaser and any and all of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified by Parent under Section 6.3 above, to xxx for damages or to assert any other right or remedy for losses arising from any matters relating to such breach, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.

7.2 Specific Performance. In the event of any breach by an Asset Selling Corporation of Sections 5.1 or 5.7 hereof, or any breach by either party of Sections 5.6 or 7.8 (or the control of defense provisions of Section 6.4) hereof, the breaching party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby agrees that the non-breaching party may be irreparably harmed and unable to be made whole by monetary damages and that the non-breaching party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek specific performance of such provisions.

7.3 Amendment; Waiver. Except as described in Section 6.10 above, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Purchaser and Parent, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Except as described in Section 6.10 above, no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

7.4 Assignment. No party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

7.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect with respect to any confidential information not included within the Conveyed Assets for the term provided for therein, and any written agreement of the parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by this Agreement.

7.6 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any party to any other party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such party.

7.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to the Asset Selling Corporations, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is

intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser, Parent, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.8 Public Disclosure; Confidential Information.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees with the other party hereto that no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless the parties shall have agreed in advance as to the contents thereof, except as such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject or submits, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, to the extent so required, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party.

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.8, “Confidential Information” means confidential information in the possession or control of an Asset Selling Corporation that relates to the Conveyed Assets, including technical, manufacturing or marketing information, ideas, methods, developments, inventions, improvements, business plans, trade secrets, scientific or statistical data, diagrams, drawings, specifications or other proprietary information relating thereto, together with all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents, records or data prepared by an Asset Selling Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial and other advisors) or agents (collectively, “Representatives”) which contain or otherwise reflect or are generated from such information. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by an Asset Selling Corporation or its Representatives, or (ii) is or becomes available to an Asset Selling Corporation on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Purchaser or any other person with respect to such information.

(c) Each Asset Selling Corporation shall treat all Confidential Information as confidential, preserve the confidentiality thereof and not disclose any Confidential Information, except in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements, or in connection with the exercise of rights or the satisfaction of obligations hereunder or thereunder. Each Asset Selling Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to treat all Confidential Information as confidential, preserve the confidentiality thereof and not disclose any Confidential Information, as provided herein. Each Asset Selling Corporation shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. If, however, an Asset Selling Corporation is made aware that Confidential Information has been disclosed as prohibited

Execution Copy

herein by it or its Representatives, Parent shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing and take all reasonable steps required to prevent further disclosure.

(d) If an Asset Selling Corporation or any of its Representatives is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) or is required by operation of law to disclose any Confidential Information, Parent shall provide Purchaser with prompt written notice of such request or requirement, which notice shall, if practicable, be at least 48 hours prior to making such disclosure, so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of such a waiver, an Asset Selling Corporation or any of its Representatives are nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, then such Asset Selling Corporation may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided such Asset Selling Corporation uses its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, whereupon such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

7.9 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.

7.10 Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement to which such matter could reasonably be expected to be pertinent, but shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Asset Selling Corporation or Purchaser, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.

7.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, its rules of conflict of laws notwithstanding.

7.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives its rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. This Section 7.12 has been fully discussed by each of the parties and these provisions shall not be subject to any exceptions. Each party hereby further warrants and represents that such party has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that such party knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and this waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, supplements or modifications to (or assignments of) this Agreement. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial (without a jury) by the court.

7.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. A facsimile or PDF signature of this Agreement shall be valid and have the same force and effect as a manually signed original.

7.14 Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

7.15 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
