The                terms of this Agreement are severable.

The parties agree that in construing this provision, any                tribunal                of competent jurisdiction shall deem the unenforceable paragraph,                provision or part deleted to the minimum extent possible, thereby                saving                to the greatest extent possible all paragraphs, provisions and parts                or                this Agreement. |

|   | 26. | Nothing                contained in this Agreement shall be construed in any way as an admission                by you or Bausch & Lomb of any act, practice or policy of                discrimination or breach of contract either in violation of applicable                law                or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed                as an                admission by you that you have acted improperly or failed to perform                your                duties. |

The                parties hereto hereby agree that any dispute concerning formation,                meaning, applicability or interpretation of this agreement shall                be                submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York                (including federal courts in the State of New York), and venued in                Monroe                County, New York, and further agree that no other state shall have                jurisdiction over such matters. |

|   | 28. | You                acknowledge and agree that Bausch & Lomb's remedy at law for any                breach of your obligations under Sections 12, 13 and 21 of this Agreement                would be inadequate and agree and consent that temporary and permanent                injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding that may be brought                to                enforce any provision of this Section without the necessity of proof                of                actual damage. With respect to any provision of Sections 12, 13 and                21 of                this Agreement finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction                to                be unenforceable, you and Bausch & Lomb hereby agree that such court                shall have jurisdiction to reform this Agreement or any provision                hereof                so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law,                and you                and Bausch & Lomb agree to abide by such court’s                determination. |
