If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and to such end, the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable.
Severability; Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, for any reason, then, to the full extent permitted by law: (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intent of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible, (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof, and (c) any court or arbitrator having jurisdiction thereover shall have the power to reform such provision to the extent necessary for such provision to be enforceable under applicable law.
Severability; Validity. The provisions of the Agreement (including Exhibit A) are severable and the validity or unenforceability of any provision shall not effect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, with the following exception. If a court rules in an action to which you are party that the provisions of Section I (2) regarding the agreement to waive the right to have Severance Claims or Employment Claims decided by judge or jury are unenforceable, any and all rights created by Section I (2) of the Agreement and Exhibit A to the Agreement will be voided retroactively, and the proceeds of any arbitration award involving you and AKS must be returned to the party from which they originated.
Severability; Validity if any provisions of this Agreement should become inconsistent with the Applicable Laws and Rules, such provision(s) shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to comply therewith. If any provision or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court, governmental authority or SRO, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or condition and only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability. The validity of the remaining provisions and conditions shall not be affected, and this Agreement shall continue, and any such invalid or unenforceable provision or condition shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to be deemed valid and enforceable.
Severability; Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of the particular provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the other provisions hereof, all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and in the event one or more provisions contained herein shall be invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid provision had not been inserted; provided, however, that if such invalidity shall be caused by any value, any price, the length of any period of time, the size of any area, or the scope of activities set forth in any provision hereof, such value, price, period of time, area, or scope shall be considered to be adjusted to a value, price, period of time, area, or scope that would cure such invalidity. The parties hereto agree that the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement are severable and divisible, that none of such covenants or obligations depends on any other covenant or obligation for its enforceability, that each such covenant and obligation constitutes an enforceable obligation, that each such covenant and obligation shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by one party to this Agreement against another party to this Agreement, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by any party to this Agreement of any such covenants or obligations. This Agreement shall be construed in a manner which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. To the extent that any provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable portion of such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that should the duration of or geographic extent of, or business activities covered by, the non-competition agreement contained in Section 1 be determined to be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly or enforceably covered.
Severability; Validity. If any term or provision of this Agreement is ---------------------- invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired; (b) any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; and (c) the invalid or unenforceable term shall, for purposes of such jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision, as determined by a court or pursuant to an arbitration proceeding, that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision (but such replacement shall not in any event be more restrictive or burdensome upon Executive).
Severability; Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such provision or its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such provision as may be possible.
Severability; Validity. A. If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or with respect to a Party, that shall not affect the validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions, or with respect to any other Party, of that or any other provision of this Agreement;
Severability; Validity. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of law, or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any administrative agency or any court, the parties shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in such provision in order to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the purpose of this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect (d)
Severability; Validity. (a) Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the release agreement executed by Executive pursuant to paragraph 7 hereof is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be null and void and the Company shall have no obligation to provide Executive any of the benefits described in paragraph 5(b) hereof.
