         ------------

          (a) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or
subject, it shall be deemed to extend only over the maximum duration, activity
and/or subject as to which such provision shall be valid and enforceable under
applicable law. If any provision shall, for any reason, be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Such court shall have
the authority to modify or replace the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision which most accurately
represents the parties' intention with respect to the invalid or unenforceable
term or provision.

          (b) The parties intend that the covenants contained in Section 3 above
shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each geographical
unit specified. Except for geographical coverage, each such separate covenant
shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 3 above.
If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the
separate covenants deemed included in this Agreement, then the unenforceable
covenant shall be deemed eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of
those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate
covenants to be enforced.

in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that
