case of a Tier 1 Employee, 2.0, (B) in the case of a Tier 2 Employee, 1.0, and (C) in the case of a Tier 3 Employee,

cash payment equal to the pro-rated portion of the Eligible Employee’s annual cash bonus actually achieved for the fiscal
year in which the Severance occurs, based on the number of months that the Eligible Employee was employed by the Employer during
such fiscal year (rounded up to the nearest whole month).


 


(iii)           The
payment made pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be payable commencing on the 61st day following the Eligible Employee’s
Severance Date in equal installments over the Restricted Period (as defined in the Severance Agreement and Release) in accordance
with the Company’s regular payroll practices, provided that the Eligible Employee has executed and returned the Severance
Agreement and Release that becomes irrevocable on or before the 60th day following the Severance Date. The payment made pursuant
to Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall be paid when it would otherwise be paid after the end of the relevant performance period.

(iv)           A
taxable cash payment equal to one (1) times the sum of the monthly premiums for the Eligible Employee’s group medical,
dental and vision coverage (including coverage for the Eligible Employee’s eligible dependents who were covered as of the
Severance Date) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) under the Company’s
or its Affiliate’s group medical, dental and vision plans then in effect (the “Monthly COBRA Payment”).
The Monthly COBRA Payment shall be payable in equal monthly installments over the Continuation Period (as defined below) in accordance
with the Company’s regular payroll practices, provided that the Eligible Employee has executed and returned the Severance
Agreement and Release that becomes irrevocable on or before the 60th day following the Severance Date. The “Continuation
Period” shall be the period beginning on the Severance Date and ending on the earlier of (A) (1) in the case

be delayed until the first payroll date occurring on or after the 61st day following the Eligible Employee’s Severance
Date (the “Monthly COBRA Payment Commencement Date”) and any payments that are so delayed shall be paid on the
Monthly COBRA Payment Commencement Date.





 







(b)            Equity
Awards; Performance-Based Awards.

outstanding, unvested Equity Awards granted prior to the Change in Control will accelerate and vest in full as of the Eligible
Employee’s Severance Date.


 


(ii)            Unless
the Eligible Employee’s applicable award agreement provides for different treatment on a Change in Control and/or a Severance
following a Change in Control, all performance-based equity awards granted to such Eligible Employee prior to the Change in Control
which remain unearned and unvested as of the Severance Date shall vest and be earned on the Eligible Employee’s Severance
Date. The number of shares underlying the performance-based equity award that shall vest and be earned will be the number of shares
assuming the Company’s achievement of the target performance level.


 


2.2            280G
Payments. If Independent Tax Counsel (as herein defined) determines that the aggregate payments and benefits provided or to
be provided to an Eligible Employee pursuant to this Plan, and any other payments and benefits provided or to be provided to the
Eligible Employee from the Company or any of its Affiliates or any successors thereto constitute “parachute payments”
as defined in Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) (“Parachute Payments”) that
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, except
as otherwise provided in the next sentence, such Parachute Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion
thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax. If Independent Tax Counsel determines that the Eligible Employee would receive in the
aggregate greater payments and benefits on an after tax basis if the Parachute Payments were not reduced pursuant to this Section 2.2,
then no such reduction shall be made. The determination of the Independent Tax Counsel under this Section 2.2 shall be final
and binding on all parties hereto. The Company shall reduce or eliminate the Parachute Payments as follows: (i) only from
Parachute Payments that may be characterized as “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code; (ii) only
from Parachute Payments that are required to be made in cash, (iii) only with respect to any amounts that are not payable
pursuant to a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Code Section 409A, until those payments have
been reduced to zero, and (iv) in reverse chronological order, to the extent that any Parachute Payments subject to reduction
are made over time (e.g., in installments). In no event, however, shall any Parachute Payments be reduced if and to the extent
such reduction would cause a violation of Code Section 409A or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.2,
 “Independent Tax Counsel” shall mean an attorney, a certified public accountant with a nationally recognized
accounting firm, or a compensation consultant with a nationally recognized actuarial and benefits consulting firm with expertise
in the area of employee compensation tax law, who shall be selected by the Company and shall be acceptable to the Eligible Employee
(the Eligible Employee’s acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), and whose fees and disbursements shall be paid by the
Company.


 






    6


     


    

 


2.3            Recoupment
and Forfeiture of Severance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if it is determined by the Company
that an Eligible Employee has violated the Company’s code of conduct or code of ethics or violated any restrictive covenants
contained in the Severance Agreement and Release or any other restrictive covenants contained in any other Company plan or program
or agreement between the Company and the Eligible Employee, the Eligible Employee shall be required to repay to the Company an
amount equal to the economic value of all amounts already paid or provided to the Eligible Employee under the Plan and the Eligible
Employee shall forfeit all other entitlements under the Plan. Additional forfeiture provisions may apply under the Plan or other
agreements between the Eligible Employee and the Company, and any such forfeiture provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall have the full, discretionary authority to (a) construe and interpret

applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, (c) prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations necessary or desirable for the proper and effective administration of the Plan, (d) prescribe,

of the Plan.


 


3.2            The
Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate, with
the exception of duties relating to Eligible Employees whom are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.


 


3.3            The
Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems
necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged
by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall
have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or
discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Company.





 






    7


     


    

 


3.4            Unless
such requirement is waived pursuant to Section 3.1, the Plan Administrator shall promptly provide the Severance Agreement
and Release to an Eligible Employee who becomes eligible for a payment and benefits under Section 2.1 and shall require an
executed Severance Agreement and Release to be returned to the Plan Administrator within no more than forty-five (45) days
(or such shorter time period as the Plan Administrator may impose, subject to compliance with applicable law) from the Severance
Date. Unless such requirement is waived under Section 3.1, if the Eligible Employee does not execute and return the Severance
Agreement and Release to the Plan Administrator within the specified time period, he or she will not be entitled to any payments
or benefits under the Plan.


 


Section 4.
SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY. The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors.
The Company shall require any corporation, entity, individual or other person who is the successor (whether direct or indirect

Company to expressly assume and agree to perform, by a written agreement in form and in substance satisfactory to the Company,
all of the obligations of the Company under the Plan.

Date”) unless (a) the Plan is extended by the Board or (b) the Board terminates the Plan.


 


5.2            Amendment
or Termination. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2, the Board shall have the discretionary authority to amend
the Plan in any respect, including as to the removal or addition of Eligible Employees, at any time; provided that an amendment
that is adverse to the interests of an Eligible Employee (except for an amendment to which the adversely affected Eligible Employee
consents) shall not be effective until the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such amendment, and if a Change
in Control occurs during such twelve (12)-month period, such amendment shall not become effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Board shall have the discretion and authority to amend the Plan at any time in accordance with Section 6. The Board shall
have the discretionary authority to suspend or terminate the Plan at any time prior to the Expiration Date, provided that no such
suspension or termination shall become effective until the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such suspension
or termination. If a Change in Control occurs while the Plan is in effect, the Plan (i) may not be amended, suspended or terminated
on or following the date such Change in Control occurs, (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for at least two (2) years
following the date such Change in Control occurs, and (iii) shall not terminate or expire until after all Eligible Employees
who become entitled to any payments or benefits hereunder shall have received such payments and benefits in full.

law.


 


Section 6.
GENERAL PROVISIONS.


 


6.1            Code
Section 409A.


 


(a)            If
any provision of this Plan (or of any payment of compensation, including benefits) would cause an Eligible Employee to incur any
additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company
shall, after consulting with the Eligible Employee, reform such provision to comply with Code Section 409A; provided that
the Company agrees to make only such changes as are necessary to bring such provisions into compliance with Code Section 409A
and to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Eligible Employee of the applicable
provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Plan, if an Eligible Employee is deemed on the Severance Date to be a “specified employee”
within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any
benefit that is required to be delayed in compliance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) such payment or benefit shall not be
made or provided (subject to the last sentence hereof) prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period
measured from the date of the Eligible Employee’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treasury
Regulations issued under Code Section 409A) or (ii) the date of his or her death (the “Deferral Period”).
Upon the expiration of the Deferral Period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) (whether
they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed
to the Eligible Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Plan shall be paid or provided in
accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.


 


(c)            If
and to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Plan on
account of termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment shall be made unless and until the Eligible Employee incurs a
 “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.


 


(d)            For
purposes of applying the provisions of Code Section 409A to this Plan, each separately identified amount to which the Eligible
Employee is entitled under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Code
Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Plan shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.


 






    9


     


    

 


(e)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to any Eligible Employee that the payments or benefits provided under
this Plan are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other
obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Eligible Employee or any beneficiary of any Eligible Employee for any tax, additional
tax, interest or penalties that any Eligible Employee or any beneficiary of any Eligible Employee may incur in the event that any
provision of this Plan, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to
violate any of the requirements of Code Section 409A.





 


6.2            No
Assignment of Benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under
the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including,
without limitation, by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof
shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation
or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a Severed Employee who is unable to care for his
or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.


 


6.3            No
Right to Continued Service. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund,
trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever,
the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same
extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.


 


6.4            Notice
Period. If an Employer is obligated by law, contract, policy or otherwise to pay severance, a termination indemnity, notice
pay, or the like, or if an Employer is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”),
then any Severance Payment hereunder shall be reduced, if and to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, by the amount
of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation
received during any Notice Period.


 


6.5            No
Duty to Mitigate. A Severed Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Plan
by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(a)(iv), shall the amount of any
payment or benefit provided for in this Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by such a Severed Employee as a result of employment
by another employer after the Severance Date or otherwise.


 


6.6            Withholding.
An Employer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid to the Severed Employee hereunder any U.S. or foreign federal,
state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which it reasonably believes it is required to withhold.


 






    10


     


    

 


6.7            Successors.
This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the
parties, including, without limitation, each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Employer. If a Severed
Employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to such Severed Employee under the Plan if the Severed Employee had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan
to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the Severed Employee’s estate.





 


6.8            Severability.
If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.


 


6.9            Plan
is Unfunded. The Plan shall not be funded. No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any
Employer which may be applied by the Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.


 


6.10          Notice.
Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall be in writing and shall be given when
delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient
at his, her or its last known address. A written notice of an Eligible Employee’s Severance Date by the Company or the Eligible
Employee, as the case may be, to the other shall (a) indicate the specific termination provision of the Plan that is being
relied upon; (b) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated and (c) specify the termination
date (which date, in the case of a termination by the Eligible Employee for Good Reason, shall be not less than thirty (30),
and in all other cases shall be not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such
notice). The failure by the Company or the Eligible Employee to provide such notice or to set forth in such notice any fact or
circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Company or the Eligible Employee
hereunder or preclude the Company or Eligible Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s
or the Eligible Employee’s rights hereunder.


 


6.11          No
Right to Other Benefits. Nothing in the Plan shall require the Employer to provide any payment that duplicates any payment,
benefit, or grant that an Eligible Employee is entitled to receive under any Employer compensation or benefit plan, award agreement,
or other arrangement. Any severance benefit provided under any Employer compensation or benefit plan, award agreement, or other
arrangement shall offset, on a dollar for dollar basis, any benefits owed under the Plan. The amounts paid or provided under the
Plan shall not be treated as compensation for purposes of determining any benefits payable under any Employer retirement, life
insurance, or other employee benefit plan unless otherwise required by the terms of the plan or local law.


 






    11


     


    

 


6.12          Plan
Conflicts/Integration. Except to the extent explicitly provided in this Plan, any awards made under any Employer compensation
or benefit plan or program shall be governed by the terms of that plan or program and any applicable award agreement thereunder
as in effect from time to time. The Plan, as amended from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and
any Eligible Employee concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety any and all plans, agreements and understandings
related to the subject matter hereof except as otherwise stated in this Section 6.12 or the Plan.


 


6.13          Governing
Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Rhode Island (not including any Rhode
Island law that would require the substantive law of another jurisdiction to apply), to the extent not preempted by federal law,
which shall otherwise control.


 


6.14          ERISA.
Because the Plan is not intended to provide retirement income or result in the systematic deferral of income to termination of
employment, the Plan is intended to be an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of
the ERISA, and not an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA. However,
to the extent that the Plan (without regard to this Section 6.14) is determined to be an “employee pension benefit plan”
because (a) with respect to certain participants the Plan provides for payments in excess of the amount specified in 29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-2(b) (the “Severance Pay Regulation”) and (b) the facts and circumstances indicate the
Plan (without regard to this Section 6.14) is not otherwise an “employee welfare benefit plan,” then the following
provisions shall apply: The Plan shall be treated as two plans, one of which provides the benefits required by Section 2 not
in excess of the safe harbor described in the Severance Pay Regulation and the other of which provides for all other payments and
benefits required by Section 2 pursuant to a plan maintained “primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation
to a select group of management or highly compensated employees” as described in Section 201(2) of ERISA.


 






    12


     


    

 


6.15          Claim
Review Process. In the event of a claim for benefits hereunder by an Eligible Employee, such Eligible Employee shall present
the reason for his or her claim in writing to the Plan Administrator as set forth in Section 6.10. The Plan Administrator
shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such written claim (unless special circumstances require an extension of time,
but in no event more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such receipt), send a written notification to the Eligible Employee
as to the Plan Administrator’s determination of the claim. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written
notification shall (a) state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (b) make specific reference to pertinent
Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (c) provide a description of any additional material or information necessary
for the Eligible Employee to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (d) set
forth the procedure by which the Eligible Employee may appeal the denial of his or her claim, including, without limitation, a
statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, following an adverse determination
on appeal. In the event an Eligible Employee wishes to perfect the claim and/or appeal the denial of his or her claim, he or she
must request a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt
of such denial. Such Eligible Employee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative), upon written request to the Plan Administrator,
shall be permitted to review any documents pertinent to his or her claim, and submit in writing, issues and comments in support
of his or her position. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a written appeal (unless special circumstances, such as the need
to hold a hearing, require an extension of time, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such receipt), the
Plan Administrator shall notify the Eligible Employee of the final decision. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include
(i) specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (ii) specific
references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled
to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents relevant to the claim for benefits,
and (iv) a statement describing the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. No
legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought in any forum until the Eligible Employee has brought a claim for benefits
under the Plan and exhausted the remedies set forth in this Section 6.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan Administrator
does not respond to the Eligible Employees claim or appeal within the relevant time periods set forth above, the Eligible Employee’s
claim is deemed to be denied and the Eligible Employee can proceed with a legal action for benefits.

Business Partner to stop doing business or reduce its business with the Company, unless a duly authorized officer of the Company
gives Employee written authorization to do so. Employee also agrees that during the Restricted Period, he or she will not work
on a Company account on behalf of a Business Partner or serve as the representative of a Business Partner for the Company. During

or make any other statement that could reasonably be expected to impair the goodwill of any of them, the reputation of any products

and as such are the sole property of the Company. Employee understands and agrees that the decision whether or not to commercialize
or market any Invention developed by Employee solely or jointly with others is within the Company’s sole discretion and for
the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to Employee as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize
or market any such Invention.


 








5.              Release

and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.


 


Employee agrees that
the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters
released. This release does not extend to any severance obligations due Employee under the Plan and does not release claims that
cannot be released as a matter of law. Nothing in this Agreement waives Employee’s rights to indemnification or any payments
under any insurance policy, if any, provided by any act or agreement of the Company, state or federal law or policy of insurance.


 


6.              Acknowledgment
of Waiver of Claims under ADEA. Employee acknowledges that Employee is waiving and releasing any rights he or she may have
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing

under the ADEA after the Effective Date. Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition
to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he or she has been advised by this
writing that (a) Employee should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) Employee has
at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Employee has seven (7) days following the

at the Company by close of business on the seventh day from the date that Employee signs this Agreement. In the event Employee
signs this Agreement and returns it to the Company in less than the 21-day period identified above, Employee hereby acknowledges
that he or she has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement. The parties

Company or any other person or entity referred to herein.

the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to the Employee or to any third party.


 


9.              Protected
Activity. Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Employee from engaging for

or proceeding that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and

Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”). Employee understands that in connection with such Protected Activity,
Employee is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving
authorization from, the Company. Employee agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure
of any information that may constitute Confidential Information under this Agreement to any parties other than the relevant Government
Agencies. Employee further understands that Protected Activity does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged
communications.

(e)            Attorneys’

(f)             Entire

separation from the Company.


 


(g)            No

(h)            Governing

(i)             Effective

    A-7


     


    

 


(l)             Specific
Performance. Employee agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 4, including the length of the Restricted Period,
the geographic area covered and the scope of activities proscribed, are reasonable for the purposes of protecting the value of
the business and goodwill of the Company. Employee acknowledges that compliance with the restrictions set forth in Section 4
will not prevent Employee from earning a livelihood, and that in the event of a breach by the Employee of any of the provisions
of Section 4, monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, in
addition to any other remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief
(without having to post bond or other security and without having to prove damages or the inadequacy of available remedies at law)
to secure the enforcement of these provisions, and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Employee for attorneys’
fees and expenses incurred by it in enforcing these provisions. In addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, the Company
shall have the right to require the Employee to account for and pay over to it all compensation, profits, money, accruals and other
benefits derived or received, directly or indirectly, by the Employee from any breach of the covenants of Section 4, and may
set off any such amounts due it from the Employee against any amounts otherwise due Employee from the Company. If the Employee
breaches any covenant set forth in Section 4, the running of the Restricted Period as to such covenant only shall be tolled
for so long as such breach continues. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of Sections 4 be enforced
in full; however, if any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time determine that, but for the provisions of this paragraph,
any part of this Agreement relating to the time period, scope of activities or geographic area of restrictions is invalid or unenforceable,
the maximum time period, scope of activities or geographic area, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the maximum which such
court deems enforceable with respect only to the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. If any other part of this Agreement
is determined by such a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended (with
respect only to the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render them enforceable and to effectuate
as nearly as possible the original intentions and agreement of the parties.
