empowered to sever any portion of the Territory, any prohibited business
activity or any time period from the coverage of this Agreement and to apply the
provisions of this Agreement to the remaining portion of the Territory, the
remaining business activities and the remaining time period not so severed by
such judicial authority. The time period during which the prohibitions set forth
in this Agreement apply will be tolled and suspended for a period equal to the

in any respect. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this
Agreement is determined not to be specifically enforceable, either party will
nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach
of any such provision by the other party.
