		(d)	In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be held invalid, unreasonable
or unenforceable in any circumstances, the parties hereto agree that the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision of this Agreement to other circumstances shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any
provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered
by such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or arbitrator making such determination shall reduce the scope, duration
and/or area of such provision (and shall substitute appropriate provisions for any such unenforceable provisions) in order to make
such provision enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and/or shall delete specific words and phrases, and such modified
provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The parties hereto recognize that if, in any judicial proceeding, a
court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants contained in this Agreement, then that unenforceable covenant contained
in this Agreement shall be deemed eliminated from these provisions to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants
to be enforced. In the event that any court or arbitrator determines that the time period or the area, or both, are unreasonable
and that any of the covenants is to that extent unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that such covenants will remain in full
force and effect, first, for the greatest time period, and second, in the greatest geographical area that would not render them
unenforceable.
