 WHEREAS, the Indenture
provides that under certain circumstances each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which each Subsidiary Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Authority’s Obligations
under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS
pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes as follows: 
 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture. 
 2. INDENTURE PROVISION PURSUANT TO WHICH GUARANTEE IS GIVEN. This Supplemental Indenture is being executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 4.20 of the Indenture. 
 3. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally with all other Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, unconditionally
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the Authority hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Authority to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed
or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately, in each case to the extent lawful. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Subsidiary Guarantee would constitute or result in a violation of any applicable fraudulent
conveyance or similar law of any relevant jurisdiction, the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to such amount as will not, after giving effect thereto, and to all
other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, result in such amount constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 4. EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE. 
 (a) To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be endorsed by an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee after the date hereof. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 (c) If an officer whose signature is
on this Supplemental Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

(d) The delivery of the Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof under the Indenture, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary
Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 (e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, regardless of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Authority, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor in
each case to the extent lawful. 
 (f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent lawful, diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Authority, any right to require a proceeding first against the Authority, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee
made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture or pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Supplemental Indenture. 
  

 2 

 (g) If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Supplemental Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 (h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Authority or any other Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of any payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary
Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand: 
 (i) in each case, to the extent lawful, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of
the Indenture for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantees made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby; and

 (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, in each case to the extent lawful. 
 (i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to seek contribution from any other nonpaying Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture. 
 (j) Each
Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or this Subsidiary Guarantee; and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 5. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. 
 (a) Nothing contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of either Subsidiary
Guarantor with or into the Authority or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any transfer, sale or conveyance of the property of either Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to the Authority or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor.

 (b) Except as set forth in Article 5 of the Indenture, upon the sale or disposition of all of the Capital
Stock of either Subsidiary Guarantor by the Authority or a Subsidiary of the Authority, or upon the consolidation or merger of either Subsidiary Guarantor with or into any Person, or if either Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of either Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case, other than with or to an Affiliate of the Authority), or upon a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes, such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder if no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; provided that in the event of an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom are treated in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture and provided further that in the event of a redesignation of a
Subsidiary, the transaction is in compliance with Section 4.07 of the Indenture. Except with respect to transactions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Authority and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenant and agree that upon any such
consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, the performance of all covenants and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture to be performed by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly assumed by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the
Trustee, by the corporation formed by such consolidation, or into which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have merged, or by the corporation which shall have acquired such property. Upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Authority or
either Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, to the effect that the Authority or such Subsidiary Guarantor has complied with the first sentence of this Section 5(b), the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the
Authority or such Subsidiary Guarantor, at the cost of the Authority or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed
on the Notes and under the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. 
 6. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. The internal law of the State of New York
shall govern and be used to construe this Supplemental Indenture. 
 7. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 8. EFFECT OF
READINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not effect the construction hereof.

attested, all as of the date first above written.

 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
June 8, 2007, is made by and between The Cooper Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Eugene J. Midlock (“Executive”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, Executive is a senior executive of the Company or its subsidiaries and has made and
is expected to continue to make major contributions to the short- and long-term profitability, growth and financial strength of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case for most publicly held companies, the possibility of a Change in Control exists; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure itself of both present and future continuity of management and desires to establish certain severance benefits for Executive, applicable in the event of a Change in Control; 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to ensure that Executive is not practically disabled from discharging his or her duties in respect of a proposed or actual
transaction involving a Change in Control; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide additional inducement for the Executive to continue to
remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries; and 
 WHEREAS, on May 21, 2007 the Organization and Compensation Committee of
the Board authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and Executive agree as follows: 
 1. Certain Defined Terms. In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for “Cause” under (ii) above unless and until there shall have been
delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the Board then in office at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, after reasonable notice to the Executive and
an opportunity for

the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel (if the Executive chooses to have counsel present at such meeting), to be heard before the Board,
finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive had committed an act constituting “Cause” and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Nothing herein will limit the right of the Executive or his beneficiaries to
contest the validity or propriety of any such determination. 
 (d) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the
following events: 
 (i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock of the Company; 
 (ii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or
other transaction (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, immediately following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of Voting Stock of
the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination
(including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
relative to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Voting Stock of the Company and (B) no Person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination; or 
 (iii) The Company stockholders approve a
plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 (e) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 (f) “Employee Benefits” means any group health and dental benefit plans; provided, however, that Employee Benefits shall not
include contributions made by the Company or its subsidiaries to any retirement plan, pension plan or profit sharing plan for the benefit of the Executive in connection with amounts earned by the Executive. 
 (g) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (h) “Good Reason” means that the Executive (without the Executive’s written consent): 
 (i) Has, except in connection with termination of employment for Cause or due to death or disability, suffered a material and substantial diminution in
Executive’s job responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the public announcement of the Change in Control, excluding for this purpose an isolated and inadvertent action by the Company or its subsidiaries or a successor entity not
taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or its subsidiaries or successor entity within ten days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive and further provided that neither mere changes in title and/or reporting
relationship nor reassignment following a Change in Control to a position that is similar to the position held immediately prior to the Change in Control shall constitute a material and substantial diminution in job responsibilities. 
  

 NED NQ Stock Option

 (ii) Has incurred one or more material reductions in his or her Base Pay; or 
 (iii) Has been notified that his or her principal place of work will be relocated to a new location that is 35 miles or more from Executive’s
principal work location as of immediately before the Change in Control; or 
 (iv) Has experienced a material breach by the Company or by its
successor entity of its obligations to Executive under this Agreement. 
 Before “Good Reason” has been deemed to have occurred,
Executive must give the Company written notice detailing why the Executive believes a Good Reason event has occurred and such notice must be provided to the Company within sixty days of the initial occurrence of such alleged Good Reason event(s).
The Company shall then have thirty days after its receipt of written notice to cure the items cited in the written notice so that “Good Reason” will have not formally occurred with respect to the event(s) in question. 
 (i) “Voting Stock” means securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Board members. 
 2. Termination Following (or in connection with) a Change in Control. In the event that in the 12 months following the consummation of a Change in
Control, the employment of Executive is either terminated by the Company or it subsidiaries for any reason other than Cause, death or disability or is terminated by Executive for Good Reason then the following subsections in this Section 2
shall occur: 
 (a) Subject to the effectiveness of the release of claims and covenant not to sue referenced in Section 2(g) below, the
Company shall pay to Executive cash in 24 monthly installments with each installment equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Base Pay (at the rate in effect at the time of employment termination), commencing on or before the tenth business day
following the effectiveness of such release. However, in the event that payment of such installments would extend past the last day of the second year following the year Executive “separates from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “409A Period”), the total amount of such installments shall instead be reamortized and payable in equal monthly installments over the 409A Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Executive is deemed at the time of separation from service to be a “specified” employee under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to the extent that the total amount of Executive’s installment
payments and any other “separation pay” hereunder (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)) exceeds the dollar threshold set forth in such regulation section, then the amount over such threshold shall not be
paid until the (i) expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” or (ii) such earlier time permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Such deferral shall only
be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Executive, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which Executive would otherwise be liable under Section 409A of the Code
in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any compensation or benefits which would have otherwise been paid during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of such deferral
shall be paid in one lump sum. 
 (b) For the 24 month period following such termination, the Company shall continue to provide to Executive
all Employee Benefits which were received by, or with respect to, Executive as of the date of such termination, at the same expense to Executive as before the Change in Control subject to immediate cessation (other than as to any pre-existing
condition not covered by the new benefits coverage) if 

  

 NED NQ Stock Option 
 [date of grant] 
  

 3 

 
Executive is offered employee benefits coverage in connection with new employment. Through the 24 months following Executive’s termination of
employment, Executive shall provide advance written notice to the Company informing the Company when the Executive is offered or becomes eligible for other employee benefits in connection with new employment. In addition, if periodically requested
by the Company during the 24 months after termination of Executive’s employment, the Executive will provide the Company with written confirmation that he/she has not been offered other employee benefits. 
 (c) The Company or its subsidiaries shall pay Executive a pro-rata share (based on the number of months Executive served as an executive of the Company
or its subsidiaries during the fiscal year of Executive’s termination of employment) of annual incentive award payments, if any, due to Executive under the terms of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ annual incentive payment plan. Any
amounts payable to Executive under this Section 2(c) will be paid to Executive at the same time payments are made to other participants under the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ annual incentive payment plan. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any restricted stock, stock option or other equity compensation plan or agreement or deferred
compensation or retirement plan or agreement, upon the date of his/her termination the Executive shall become immediately fully vested (and all vesting restrictions removed) in all of his/her then outstanding stock options, stock appreciation
rights, warrants, restricted stock, phantom stock, deferred compensation, retirement agreement or similar plans or agreements with the Company or its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any award that is subject to a performance condition
will vest only to the extent the performance condition has been satisfied on or prior to the date of termination. 
 (e) As of his/her
termination date, Executive shall also be paid for his/her accrued but unpaid salary and vacation, unreimbursed valid business expenses that were submitted in accordance with the policies of the Company or its subsidiaries; and is eligible for other
vested benefits pursuant to the terms of any employee benefit plan. 
 (f) In the event that it is determined that any payment or
distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive made by the Company, by any of its subsidiaries, by any person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s
assets (within the meaning of section 280G of the Code, and the regulations thereunder or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Total
Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the
“Excise Tax”), then such payments or distributions shall be payable either in (x) full or (y) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such payments or distributions being subject to the Excise Tax and
Executive shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (x) or (y) above. All mathematical determinations and all determinations of whether any of the Total Payments are “parachute payments” (within the meaning of section
280G of the Code) that are required to be made under this Section 2(f), shall be made by a nationally recognized independent audit firm not currently retained by the Company most recently prior to the Change in Control (the
“Accountants”), who shall provide their determination, together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any relevant matters, both to the Company and to the Executive within seven (7) business days of the
Executive’s termination date, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. Such determination shall be made by the Accountants using reasonable good faith interpretations of the Code. Any determination by the Accountants
shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error. The Company shall pay the fees and costs of the Accountants which are incurred in connection with this Section 2(f). 
  

 NED NQ Stock Option 
 [date of grant]

 (g) All payments and benefits provided under this Section 2 are conditioned on and subject to the
Executive’s continuing compliance with this Agreement and the Executive’s timely execution (and effectiveness) of a reasonable and customary release of claims and covenant not to sue in a form prescribed by the Company or its subsidiaries
upon termination of employment. There is no entitlement to any payments or benefits unless and until such and release of claims and covenant not to sue is effective. 
 (h) To the extent Executive receives severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like of the Company or its subsidiaries, or under the WARN Act or
similar state law, the payments and benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be correspondingly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis (or vice-versa). 
 (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall also remain effective (and Executive shall be eligible for payments and benefits hereunder) if, during a period beginning 3 months immediately prior to a public
announcement of an impending Change in Control that is actually consummated, the Company (or its subsidiaries) terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause, death or disability or the Executive terminates his/her
employment for Good Reason and such termination is determined to be in connection with the Change in Control. The Board shall determine in good faith whether such a termination is occurring in connection with the impending Change in Control.
However, such a termination shall in any event be deemed to be in connection with an impending Change in Control if such termination (i) is required by the merger agreement or other instrument relating to such Change in Control, or (ii) is
made at the express request of the other party (or parties) to the transaction constituting such Change in Control, or (iii) occurs after the public announcement of the impending Change in Control. 
 3. Successors and Binding Agreement. 
 (a)
The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company. 
 (b) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees and legatees. 
 (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without
the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 3(a) and 3(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive’s
right to receive payments hereunder will not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 3(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

 4. No Retention Rights. This Agreement is not an employment agreement and does not give the Executive the
right to be retained by the Company or its subsidiaries and the Executive agrees that he/she is an employee-at-will. The Company (or its subsidiaries) reserves the right to terminate the Executive’s service as an employee at any time and for
any reason. 
 5. Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests
or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business
days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL,
addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) at its principal executive office and to the Executive at her principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in
accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 6. Validity. If any provision of this
Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances will
