order or judgment of any court, the Agreement shall be construed to contain a modified version of such clause which reflects the intent of the Parties to the maximum extent which is valid or enforceable. If such modification is not reasonably
practicable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain such invalid or unenforceable clause and shall, in all other respects, remain in full force and effect.
