Adjustment of Covenants. The parties consider the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 7 to be reasonable, that they give rise to the Employer's interest in restraining Employee as specified herein, and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Employer and/or the Related Parties. In addition, the Employee agrees that the Employee shall not assert that, and it should not be considered that, any provisions of this Section 7 are otherwise void, voidable or unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable. However, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalid or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required, and the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect. Employee further agrees that in the event any of the covenants contained in Section 7 shall be held by any court or arbitration panel to be effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only if said covenant is modified to limit its duration or scope, then the court or arbitration panel, as applicable, shall have such authority to reform the covenant and the Employer and Employee shall consider such covenant(s) and/or other provisions of Section 7 to be amended with respect to that particular jurisdiction so as to comply with the order of any such court or arbitration panel and, as to all other jurisdictions, the covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.
