8.7.2

if, at the time of enforcement of Clauses 8.1, 8.3 or 8.5, a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to replace such restrictions with valid and enforceable substitute restrictions which carry out, as closely as possible, the intentions of the Parties under this Agreement.
