In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76 and any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, any Tax imposed solely with respect to an extraordinary transaction that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) causes to occur on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be allocated to the taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.
- 23 -
(b) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.
(i) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than Tax Returns for any Straddle Period of the Company). With respect to any Tax Returns described in this Section 5.10(b)(i) required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide a final copy of such Tax Return to Purchaser no less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions), and Purchaser shall thereafter cause the Company to execute and timely file such Tax Returns and, subject to Section 5.10(a)(i), shall timely remit any Taxes payable with respect to such Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to any Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or on behalf of any affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for Tax purposes that includes the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand.
(ii) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for any Straddle Period of the Company. Purchaser shall (A) prepare all Tax Returns described in this Section 5.10(b)(ii) in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, (B) provide all such Tax Returns to Seller for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including any applicable extensions), (C) not unreasonably refuse to reflect any comments of Seller with respect to such Tax Returns and (D) not file such Tax Returns without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Subject to Section 5.10(a)(i), Purchaser shall timely remit any Taxes payable with respect to such Tax Return.
(iii) Purchaser shall not amend or cause the Company to amend any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller.
(iv) Indemnification payments due under this Section 5.10 shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by the indemnified Party that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority or other applicable third party is or was due by the indemnified Party; provided, that the indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) days before it is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority or applicable third party.
(c) Tax Proceedings.
(i) Purchaser and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing upon the receipt of notice from any Taxing Authority of any pending or threatened audit or administrative or judicial proceeding related to Taxes of the Company for which indemnification may be claimed pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the indemnifying Party from any of its indemnification obligations under this Section 5.10, except to the extent the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.
- 24 -
(ii) Seller shall have the sole right to control any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Proceeding”) for any taxable period that ends, with respect to the Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (including any Tax Proceeding with respect to any affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for Tax purposes that includes the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand); provided, however, that Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to any such Tax Proceeding that relates solely to the Company.
(iii) Purchaser shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding for any Straddle Period of the Company; provided, that with respect to any such Tax Proceeding, (A) Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed with respect to such Tax Proceeding, (B) Purchaser shall consult with Seller before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding and (C) Purchaser shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.
(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with respect to Tax matters, including: (A) cooperating in the preparation of any Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (B) cooperating in the defense of any audit or other dispute with a Taxing Authority regarding any Tax liability of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and (C) making available to the other and to any Taxing Authority, as reasonably requested, all information, records and documents relating to any Tax liability of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.
(e) Tax Refunds. All refunds or credits of Excluded Taxes received (or realized by way of a reduction of Taxes otherwise payable) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be for the account of Seller and shall promptly be paid by Purchaser to Seller.
(f) Tax Benefits. Seller shall be entitled to any Tax Benefit attributable to any Tax Item arising in respect of an Excluded Tax (or in respect of any other obligation or liability that Seller is responsible for hereunder or otherwise), and Purchaser agrees that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall claim any such Tax Item on any Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period, provided, however, that if any such Tax Item is not permitted by Law or administrative practice to be claimed on a Tax Return for which Seller has filing responsibility or a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and is permitted by Law or administrative practice to be claimed on a Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period, then Purchaser shall claim such Tax Item and promptly pay to Seller the amount of any Tax Benefit resulting from such Tax Item.
(g) Timing Differences. Purchaser agrees that if as the result of any audit adjustment (or adjustment in any other Tax Proceeding) made with respect to any Tax Item which relates to or affects any Excluded Tax, by any Taxing Authority or as a result of
- 25 -
any indemnification provided by Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), realizes a Tax Benefit, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such Tax Benefit within fifteen (15) days of filing the Tax Return in which such Tax Benefit is realized.
(h) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local Law).
(i) Transfer Taxes. Any fees, duties, sales, use, transfer, stamp or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect to the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser agree to take all actions reasonably required to minimize the amount of Transfer Taxes, if any, payable under this Section 5.10(i) (including, if requested by either party, all actions necessary to effect the transfer of any Transferred Asset via electronic delivery in the manner specified by such party).
(j) Allocation of Consideration. As soon as practicable after the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Purchase Price Allocation”), allocating the Purchase Price between the Transferred Assets, on the one hand, and the Share, on the other hand based upon the relative fair market values thereof. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller objects to the allocation set forth in the Purchase Price Allocation, Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly retain an independent accounting firm (the “Referee”) (which may in turn select an appraiser if needed) to resolve the dispute. Upon resolution of the dispute, the allocation reflected on the Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take, or shall permit its Affiliates to take, a position for Tax purposes that is inconsistent with (i) the Purchase Price Allocation, as adjusted if adjusted pursuant to any dispute resolution, and (ii) the treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement as a purchase and sale of the Share and the Transferred Assets. The costs, fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.
(k) Coordination and Survival.
(i) (A) The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 5.10 are the exclusive remedy for obligations of the parties arising under this Agreement relating to Tax matters, (B) the procedures relating to claims for indemnification with respect to Taxes shall be governed exclusively by this Section 5.10, and (C) the provisions of Article VIII (other than Sections 8.3(c), 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7) shall not apply to Tax matters.
- 26 -
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the rights and obligations provided in this Section 5.10 (and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.7(a)) shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
(l) Miscellaneous.
(i) To the extent relating to the Company, Seller shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) on or before the Closing Date all Tax sharing agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand, are parties to, and neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall have any rights or obligations thereunder after the Closing.
(ii) Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate (including, after the Closing, the Company) to, [****].
5.11 Encumbrances. From and after the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, extend, renew or expand or permit the extension, renewal or expansion of any Encumbrance listed on Section 3.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter under or with respect to any Company Patents or Transferred Assets.

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;
(b) by either Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if:
(i) any Order permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order becomes effective (and final and nonappealable); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure or whose Affiliate’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on or before such date; or
- 28 -
(ii) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before six months after the Effective Date (such date, the “Outside Date”); provided, that if all conditions to Closing other than those in Section 6.1(a) shall have been satisfied as of the Outside Date, the Outside Date may be extended by Seller or Purchaser to the date one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the Outside Date (the “Extended Outside Date”) upon written notice to the other Party delivered prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that this termination right shall not be available to a Party if its breach of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Outside Date or the Extended Outside Date, as applicable. If Purchaser extends the Outside Date pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(ii), the Purchase Price shall be increased by $[****] per day for each day elapsed from the initial Outside Date to and including the Closing Date;
(c) by Seller, if all of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but which conditions at the time of termination shall be capable of being satisfied) and Purchaser fails to consummate the Sale within two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.4; or

ARTICLE VIII
SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION AND GUARANTEES
8.1 Survival. Except as set forth in Section 5.10(k)(ii) and the last sentence of this Section 8.1, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (at which time they shall terminate, and no claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) shall be made thereafter); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 3.2 (Authority Relative to this Agreement), [****], 3.5 (Capitalization of the Company) and 3.6(a) solely as it applies to an Encumbrance on any Company Patent or Transferred Asset in favor of any of the Person(s) set forth in Schedule 8.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any of their respective Affiliates (each, a “First Defined Licensee”) or the Person(s) set forth in Schedule 8.1(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any of its Affiliates (a “Second Defined Licensee”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants or agreements of the Parties that are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive for the period provided in such covenants or agreements, if any, or until fully performed.
8.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify and defend and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim) arising out of or resulting from (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (other than those expressly given as of a specified date on or prior to the date of this Agreement, which need only be true and accurate as of such date) to be true and correct as of and as if made on the Closing Date and (ii) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and defend and hold Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim) arising out of or resulting from (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser under
- 30 -
this Agreement (other than those expressly given as of a specified date on or prior to the date of the Agreement, which need only be true and accurate as of such date) to be true and correct as of and as if made on the Closing Date and (ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
8.3 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud or a breach of Seller’s representation in Section 3.9, Seller shall have no indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for any individual Losses unless and until the aggregate amount in excess of all such Losses exceeds $10,560,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case Seller shall have such an indemnification obligation pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) as to all such Losses and not just the amount of Losses above the Threshold.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud, the maximum aggregate obligations of Seller for claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $105,600,000 (the “Aggregate Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6(a) as the result of any Encumbrance on any Company Patent or Transferred Patent (i) in favor of a First Defined Licensee, the indemnification obligation of Seller with respect to each such Defined Licensee shall be limited to $264,000,000, (ii) in favor of a Second Defined Licensee, the indemnification obligation of Seller shall be limited to $633,600,000 and (iii) the maximum aggregate indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed $792,000,000.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be entitled to receive indemnification from the other in respect of all or any portion of the same Loss more than once, in each case, whether proceeding under Section 5.10 or this Article VIII.
8.4 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Any Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under such agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
- 31 -
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.4(a), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any determination of a Third Party Claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party informs the other Party that it is not assuming the defense, and does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, it may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party and shall use reasonable best efforts in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing to, cooperate fully in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case at no cost to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment, (ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(c) If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.
- 32 -
8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, the rights and remedies of the parties under Section 5.10 and this Article VIII are the exclusive, and are in lieu of any and all other, rights and remedies which the Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise against each other with respect to the matters for which indemnification is provided hereunder and each Party expressly waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, any and all other rights or causes of action that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the other Party now or in the future under any Law with respect to such matters.
8.6 Insurance Adjustments. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement or any other document executed in connection herewith (a) all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance proceeds that have been or shall be recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, and the Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance provisions covering such Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder; and (b) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items.
8.7 Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.
8.8 Coordination. The above provisions of this Article VIII (other than Sections 8.3(c), 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7) shall not apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of Section 5.10.
ARTICLE IX

Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.
9.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that except as otherwise set forth herein no Party shall assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of Purchaser (in the case of Seller) and Seller (in the case of Purchaser), except that (a) Seller may assign its rights and benefits under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Seller and (b) Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and benefits under this Agreement, including its right to acquire one or more Transferred Patents or the Share under this Agreement, to one or more Third Parties.
9.7 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person not a Party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder.
- 35 -
9.8 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. At any time prior to the Closing, Seller may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Purchaser contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by Purchaser pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance by Purchaser with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. At any time prior to the Closing, Purchaser may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Seller contained herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties Seller contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by Seller pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance by Seller with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure or delay on the part of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
9.9 Specific Performance.
(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that either Party fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance in such event, in addition to any other remedy at Law or in equity.
(b) Both Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, including the obligation of the Parties to consummate the Closing as required by Section 2.4, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek and obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. In circumstances where Purchaser is, or Seller is, obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such transactions have not been consummated, each of Purchaser and Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other Party and its shareholders or members shall have suffered irreparable harm, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate such other Party and its shareholders or members, and that such other Party on behalf of itself and its shareholders shall be entitled to enforce specifically Purchaser’s or Seller’s, as the case may be, obligation to consummate such transactions.
(c) Both Parties further agree that neither the other Party, nor any other Person, shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.9, and both Parties irrevocably waive any right they may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
- 36 -
(d) Except as provided in Section 7.3, the remedies available to Seller and/or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which such Parties are entitled at Law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit such Parties from recovery of monetary damages against Purchaser and/or from terminating this Agreement.
9.10 Severability. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
