Public Policy/Severability Sample Clauses

Public Policy/Severability. The parties do not wish to impose any undue or unnecessary hardship upon Executive following his departure from the Company’s service. The parties have attempted to limit the provisions of this section 5 to achieve such a result, and the parties expressly intend that all provisions of this section 5 be construed to achieve such result. If, contrary to the effort and intent of the parties, any covenant or other obligation contained in this section 5 shall be found not to be reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company, to be unreasonable as to duration, scope or nature of restrictions, or to impose an undue hardship on Executive, then it is the desire of the parties that such covenant or obligation not be rendered invalid thereby, but rather that the duration, scope or nature of the restrictions be deemed reduced or modified, with retroactive effect, to render such covenant or obligation reasonable, valid and enforceable. The parties further agree that in the event a court, despite the efforts and intent of the parties, declares any portion of the covenants or obligations in this section 5 invalid, the remaining provisions of this section 5 shall nonetheless remain valid and enforceable.
