         omission, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain
         binding upon the parties. The parties agree to replace any such invalid
         provision or an omission by a valid provision which reflects as closely
         as possible the original commercial intention of the parties or the
         commercial intention which they would have had, had they considered
         such issue.
