Severability; Interpretation. The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of Sections 7, 9-11 and 13-21 are severable from the remainder of this Agreement and supported by adequate consideration. In the event any one or more whole or partial provisions of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining whole or partial provisions shall not be affected, and such adjudication shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such whole or partial provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties further agree that if any whole or partial restrictive covenant in this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable because overly broad in geographic scope, activity or time duration, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid or unenforceable whole or partial provision were not contained herein; provided, however, if, under applicable law, such whole or partial provision may be modified or interpreted so as to be enforceable, that provision shall be so modified or interpreted so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
