or any other member of the Unilever Group, those options or rights shall be subject to the rules of that scheme as in force from
time to time which rules shall not form part of the Executives service contract. In particular, if the Executives employment

otherwise.17.2

it is necessary or desirable for the Company to do so.17.3
    
    If any clause, or identifiable part of any clause, of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, then this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining clauses or identifiable parts
of such.17.4
