				 Section 16.
			Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

			Enforcement.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as divisible and separable and if any provision should be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction (after reformation pursuant to Section 5(h) of the Employment Agreement pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, where applicable), the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.  In addition, Executive agrees and stipulates that breach by Executive of restrictions and requirements under this Agreement will cause irreparable damage to the Releasees and Company would not have entered into this Agreement without Executive binding himself to these restrictions and requirements.
