Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others If fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any transaction related thereto at the time performance of any such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and such clause or provision shall be deemed invalid as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative in full force and effect.
