circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law, provided, however, that if any court determines that any provision in either Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the corresponding provision in Section 2.2 or Section 2.1, as the case
may be, shall also be deemed invalid or unenforceable.
