Common use of Severability and Blue Penciling Clause in Contracts

Severability and Blue Penciling. To the extent that any provision of this Section III shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable as written, the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section III (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, you and the Company agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the Restrictive Covenants to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law.
