Accumulation Fund

 Section 4 – General Provisions 
 Section 5 – Definitions 

 SECTION 1 – ACCUMULATION FUND – ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION 
  

	1.1	POLICY PAYMENTS. The Policyholder agrees to pay to GLAIC in the currency specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule (the “Specified Currency”), and by wire
transfer, the Net Deposit Amount on the Deposit Date. Regardless of the Effective Date of the Policy or the Deposit Date specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, this Policy shall become effective only upon the receipt by GLAIC, or its designee,
of the Net Deposit Amount. 

  

	1.2	ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND. Upon the receipt by GLAIC of the Net Deposit Amount, GLAIC will establish an Accumulation Fund. The Accumulation Fund is a general
account record that reflects the Fund Balance under this Policy. GLAIC is neither a trustee nor a fiduciary with respect to the Accumulation Fund. The Net Deposit Amount is allocated to GLAIC’s general account for investment but all funds
received under this Policy will become the exclusive property of GLAIC without any duty or requirement for segregation or separate investment. The Fund Balance is not affected by the investment results of the assets held in the general account.

  

	1.3	INTEREST ON THE ACCUMULATION FUND. The Guaranteed Rate for the Accumulation Fund is effective until the Fund Balance is paid in full to the Policyholder. Interest is credited
based upon the methodology specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. 

  

	1.4	VALUE OF THE ACCUMULATION FUND. The Fund Balance on any given day equals the Deposit Amount plus interest, if any, credited thereon at the Guaranteed Rate, less any payments
made under Section 2 of the Policy. 

 SECTION 2 – PAYMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATION FUND 
  

	2.1	PERIODIC PAYMENTS. GLAIC will pay the Policyholder the amounts specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule as Periodic Payouts, including the Maturity Payout, on the dates
specified (subject to Section 4.7). Such payment amounts are adjusted to reflect any other payment payable under this Section of the Policy. The interest factor used in making such adjustments is the Guaranteed Rate. 

 

	2.2	OPTIONAL REPAYMENT. If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC shall pay to the Policyholder the amount the Policyholder needs to redeem or repay any notes or
other instruments issued by the Policyholder and backed by this Policy, pursuant to any limited right of redemption or repayment contained in such note or instrument. GLAIC may require reasonable evidence that the redemption or repayment request
satisfies all the terms and conditions described in the prospectus, prospectus supplement and/or pricing supplement applicable to such note or other instrument. Additional restrictions, if any, on the Policyholder’s reimbursement rights under
this Section may be included in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. 

  

 1 

	2.3	OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. If so indicated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC may elect to pay the Policyholder all or any part of the Fund Balance on the Call Dates
specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. Unless otherwise provided in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC will give the Policyholder at least forty-five (45) days and no more than seventy-five (75) days notice of its intent to make
such pre-payment. No adjustment will be made to the amount of such payment, unless such adjustment is specifically provided for in the Accumulation Fund Schedule. 

  

	2.4	MATURITY PAYMENTS. GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund Balance on the Maturity Date. 

  

	2.5	FORM OF PAYMENT. All payments GLAIC makes to the Policyholder will be made in the Specified Currency, by wire transfer, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties
hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, all payments GLAIC makes will be net of any applicable withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, assessments or other governmental
charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any governmental authority having the power to tax. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, such net payments fully satisfy GLAIC’s obligation to the
Policyholder with respect to the full amount due. 

 SECTION 3 – TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT 
  

	3.1	AUTOMATIC TERMINATION/ACCELERATION. This Policy terminates with respect to the Accumulation Fund when the Fund Balance is zero and GLAIC’s obligations hereunder shall
automatically accelerate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 3.3(a). 

  

	3.2	EARLY TERMINATION/ACCELERATION. The Policyholder may accelerate this Policy by giving GLAIC not less than two (2) Business Days’ written notice upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default specified in Section 3.3 b., c. or d. below. GLAIC may accelerate this Policy, in whole but not in part, by giving the Policyholder not less than forty-five (45) days’, but no more than seventy-five
(75) days’, prior written notice of the occurrence of a Tax Event as described in Section 3.4, provided, however that this Policy shall not be terminated until the Fund Balance has been paid to the Policyholder in full.

  

	3.3	EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An Event of Default occurs if: 

  

	 	a.	GLAIC is dissolved or a resolution is passed or proceeding is instituted for the winding-up, liquidation or similar arrangement of GLAIC (other than pursuant to a consolidation,
amalgamation or merger); 

  

	 	b.	GLAIC breaches any material obligation, representation or certification contained herein, provided that there is no bona fide dispute as to whether such breach has occurred and that
such breach continues for fifteen (15) Business Days following the Policyholder’s written notice to GLAIC of such breach; 

  

 2 

	 	c.	GLAIC fails to make any required Periodic Payout (other than the Maturity Payout) described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule or any other payment described in Sections 2.2 or 2.3
of this Policy or any other funding agreement GLAIC issues in connection with the Program, and such failure continues for seven (7) Business Days after the due date thereof; 

  

	 	d.	GLAIC fails to make the Maturity Payout described in the Accumulation Fund Schedule or in any other funding agreement GLAIC issues in connection with the Program and such failure is
continuing as of the end of the Business Day following the due date thereof. 

  

	3.4	TAX EVENT. A “Tax Event” occurs if GLAIC has received an opinion of independent legal counsel stating in effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that
as a result of any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or any amendment to, or change
in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any governmental authority in the United States, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced on or after the Deposit Date, the Policyholder is or will
be within ninety (90) days of the date thereof, (1) subject to an entity level U.S. federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or received on this Policy or (2) subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or
other governmental charges. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, if GLAIC shall comply in all
respects with the requirements of this Section 3, but an event of default has occurred with respect to the notes backed by the Policy and as a result payments with respect to the notes have been accelerated, otherwise than by reason of any
default under this Policy by GLAIC, no Event of Default (as defined above) under this Policy shall be deemed to have occurred, no payments with respect to this Policy shall be accelerated and GLAIC will remain obligated to make payments under this
Policy as if no Event of Default had occurred with respect to the notes. 
 SECTION 4 – GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	4.1	PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, GLAIC shall pay the Policyholder the Fund Balance on the Maturity Date. Such payment
fully discharges GLAIC’s obligation to the Policyholder under this Policy. 

  

	4.2	DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY. GLAIC’s only liability is as set out in this Policy, including the Accumulation Fund Schedule attached hereto. In performing its
obligations under this Policy, GLAIC is not acting as a fiduciary or agent for the Policyholder or anyone else regardless of whether or not they are directly or indirectly associated with the Policyholder. 

  

	4.3	NOTICES. All agreements, notices, directions, consents, elections or other communication (“Notices”) required by this Policy must be in writing, directed to the
applicable address designated on the face page. Any such Notices may be given by facsimile transmission or other acceptable electronic means. All Notices are effective when received.

	4.4	AMENDMENTS. This Policy may be amended only by mutual written agreement between the parties hereto. 

  

	4.5	CONFLICT. To the extent that there is a conflict in terms between the Policy and the Accumulation Fund Schedule, the Accumulation Fund Schedule will control the conduct of
the parties. 

  

	4.6	TRANSFERABILITY/ASSIGNMENT. This Policy and the Accumulation Fund established pursuant to it may solely be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged in accordance with, and for
the purposes contemplated by, the documents and agreements governing the establishment and operation of the Program. GLAIC will maintain a record of ownership of this Policy on its books and records. 

  

	4.7	PAYMENTS BY GLAIC. When this Policy provides that GLAIC will make a payment to the Policyholder, such payment shall be made to the Policyholder or to the agent the
Policyholder designates. Unless otherwise specified in the Accumulation Fund Schedule, if a payment date is not a Business Day, GLAIC will pay such amount on the next Business Day. 

  

	4.8	WAIVER BY GLAIC. At the Policyholder’s request, GLAIC may waive any terms, conditions or adjustments provided for in this Policy. Any such waiver is subject to any
limitations GLAIC specifies in making the waiver and does not require GLAIC to grant similar future waivers to the Policyholder or anyone else. A failure or delay in exercising a right under this Policy does not waive GLAIC’s right or ability
to assert such right in the future. 

  

	4.9	MUTUAL REPRESENTATIONS. The parties mutually represent and warrant, each to the other, that: 

  

	 	a.	This Policy is its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
laws affecting creditor’s rights, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principals of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in proceeding in equity or law; 

  

	 	b.	It has the power to enter into this Policy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; 

  

	 	c.	All information provided in connection with this Policy is, to the best of its knowledge and belief, true, correct and complete; 

  

	 	d.	The execution and the delivery of this Policy and the performance of obligations hereunder do not and will not constitute or result in a default, breach or violation, of the terms
or provisions of its certificate, articles or charter of incorporation, declaration of trust, by-laws or any agreement, instrument, mortgage, judgment, injunction or order applicable to it or any of its property. 

  

 4 

	4.10	TAX PROVISIONS. The Policyholder and each transferee and assignee of this Policy, to the extent required by law, agree to provide GLAIC with any properly completed tax forms
that are needed for GLAIC to satisfy its tax reporting obligations with respect to amounts held under this Policy. This Policy is intended to be ignored for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. To the extent it cannot be
ignored, GLAIC and the Policyholder and each transferee and assignee of this Policy agree to treat this Policy as GLAIC’s debt obligation for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 This Separation and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is made by and between Jeffrey Croft (“Employee”), and DOMINION HOMES, INC., an Ohio corporation, whose address is 4900 Tuttle Crossing Blvd., P.O. Box 4900, Dublin, Ohio 43016-5555 (the “Company”). 
 WHEREAS, Employee has been serving as an officer and employee of the Company under the terms of an Employment Agreement dated March 6, 2006 (the
“Employment Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have mutually decided terminate Employee’s employment (with
respect to his status as an officer and employee) with the Company and all of its affiliates effective as of December 20, 2007 (the “Separation Date”); 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth all agreements and understandings concerning Employee’s separation from service from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”)) and to amicably resolve all differences between them, 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Severance Arrangements. In consideration for the mutual promises set forth
below, the parties have agreed to the following severance arrangements: 
 (a) Lump-Sum Severance Payment. Provided
that this Agreement becomes effective and Employee does not exercise his right to revoke this Agreement as set forth herein, the Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to $575,000, less applicable withholdings for federal, state and local taxes,
on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation Date. In the event of Employee’s death prior to the time that the payment required under this Paragraph 1(a) has been made, such payment shall be paid to Employee’s beneficiary
as designated by Employee in writing prior to Employee’s death or, in the absence of a beneficiary designation or if the designated beneficiary does not survive Employee, to Employee’s estate. 
 (b) Health Care Coverage. The Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to $25,200, less applicable withholdings for federal,
state and local taxes, within ten (10) days of the date on which Employee’s right to revoke this Agreement expires in accordance with Paragraph 5(c). If Employee elects COBRA coverage, Employee may, in Employee’s sole discretion, use
such amount to pay COBRA premium payments consistent with the family health, dental and vision coverage in existence at the time of Employee’s separation. The Company shall have no obligation to pay COBRA premiums directly, and Employee
acknowledges that he will not receive any additional cash payment from the Company for these premiums. 

 (c) Blackberry®. Employee will be allowed to keep his Company Blackberry® device after the Separation Date if he so desires, but Employee shall
transfer the device to a cell phone service account within thirty (30) days of the Separation Date and shall thereafter be solely responsible for all charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 
 (d) Insurance Coverage. As of the Separation Date, the Company will no longer pay for Employee’s long term disability coverage
and life insurance coverage; however, Employee may elect to convert these policies to personal policies which Employee will pay for at his own expense, provided that conversion is permitted by the terms of such policies. 
 (e) Miscellaneous. Employee will be entitled to payment of his final paycheck, covering the period of his active employment, less
applicable withholdings for federal, state and local taxes, within ten (10) days following the Separation Date. 
 (f)
Waiver of Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Paragraph 1, Employee agrees that, as of the Separation Date, he is waiving any rights to all unvested interests in any employee benefits that Employee may have received as a result
of Employee’s employment with the Company. These interests may include, but are not limited to, the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 Monthly automobile and gasoline allowance; 

  

	 	•	 	 All rights under the Company’s executive medical reimbursement plan, except for those eligible expenses that have been incurred, but not yet reimbursed, as of
the separation date; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Any accrued, but unused vacation. 

 2. Employment Agreement, Restricted Stock Award Agreement, Confidentiality, and Cooperation Covenant. 
 (a)
Extinguishment of Employment Agreement Except for Noncompetition, Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Provisions. Employee agrees that this Agreement supersedes and extinguishes his Employment Agreement (the “Employment
Agreement”), and any other similar agreements; except that Paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 of the Employment Agreement, which respectively relate to Noncompetition, Confidentiality and Intellectual Property shall remain in full force and effect and
are incorporated herein as binding material terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Employee and the Company agree that the period of noncompetition specified in Paragraph 10 of the Employment Agreement is hereby reduced from eighteen
(18) months to twelve (12) months. 
 (b) Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement,
Employee and the Company agree that Employee hereby forfeits and relinquishes all shares of the Company’s stock granted to Employee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement executed on or about May 11, 2006, the 

  

 - 2 - 

 
Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Equity Plan or any other stock award or stock option or incentive equity plan which have not vested
pursuant to such agreement or plan prior to the Separation Date, and Employee and the Company agree that the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company shall not effect or cause a lapse of any restriction with respect to any
previously granted shares of restricted stock and shall not effect or cause an acceleration of vesting of any shares of stock unvested prior to the Separation Date. 
 (c) Confidentiality of this Agreement. Employee agrees to keep the existence and terms of this Agreement and the settlement it
embodies strictly confidential, unless disclosure is required pursuant to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Employee may make disclosures regarding the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement to his spouse, attorney(s), or
tax advisor(s) provided they are advised of the terms of this Paragraph. 
 (d) Cooperation Covenant. Employee agrees
to cooperate with the Company (and its officers, directors and employees), after the Separation Date in the following areas: 
 (i) Employee agrees [a] during the first thirty (30) days following the Separation Date to be available for at least sixty (60) hours to provide to the Company’s officers, directors and employees assistance, guidance,
information and transitional services and thereafter to be reasonably available to answer questions for the Company’s officers, directors and employees regarding any matter, project, initiative or effort for which Employee was responsible or
had substantial involvement in while employed by the Company, and [b] to cooperate with the Company during the course of all third-party proceedings arising out of the Company’s business about which Employee has knowledge or information. For
purposes of this Agreement, “proceedings” includes internal investigations, administrative or regulatory investigations or proceedings and lawsuits (including pre-trial discovery and trial testimony), and “cooperation” includes
[1] Employee’s being reasonably available at the Company’s request for interviews, meetings, depositions, hearings and/or trials without the need for subpoena or assurances by the Company; [2] providing any and all documents in
Employee’s possession that relate to the proceeding; and [3] providing assistance in locating any and all relevant notes and/or documents. Provided any such cooperation is reasonable in scope and time commitment, the Company shall reimburse
Employee’s reasonable, documented expenses, including attorney’s fees, if any, incurred as a result of his cooperation with the Company, but it shall not otherwise be required to compensate Employee therefor. The parties agree that such
required cooperation will not unreasonably interfere with Employee’s employment or efforts to obtain employment. 
 (ii)
Unless compelled to do so by lawfully-served subpoena or court order, or authorized to do so by the Company in writing, Employee agrees not to communicate with, or give statements or testimony to, any 

  

 - 3 - 

 
opposing attorney, opposing attorney’s representative (including private investigator), media representative, or former employee or director relating to
any substantive matter regarding the Company and its affairs (including pending or threatened lawsuits or administrative investigations) about which Employee has knowledge or information as a result of his service with the Company. Employee also
agrees to notify the Company’s Corporate Counsel and Secretary immediately after being contacted by a third party or receiving a subpoena or court order to appear and testify with respect to any matter affected by this section. This paragraph
will not apply to requests by any government entity or investigation in connection with an investigation or legal proceeding brought against the Company by a governmental entity. 
 Employee also agrees not to make any false or disparaging comment concerning the Company, whether orally or in writing, and whether
concerning Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise, to any third party, including, but not limited to, any customer, supplier, or vendor of the Company, or print or broadcast media company or employee. The Company agrees that senior
management will not make any false or disparaging comment concerning Employee, whether orally or in writing, and whether concerning Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise to any third party. This restriction shall not apply to
communications to government officials in conducting a governmental investigation or government lawsuit. Employee represents and warrants, however, that he has no knowledge or information of any violation of law or ethics by the Company or its
employees. 
 (e) Remedies. The Company and Employee agree that, in the event of a breach of the provisions of this
Paragraph 2, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph 2 and to liquidated damages of $10,000 for each proven violation in addition to any other remedies that may be available. Any
liquidated damages due under this Paragraph 2(e) shall be paid by the breaching party by no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable violation is proven. 
 3. Release. Employee hereby releases and forever discharges the Company and its affiliates, their successors, assigns, and their past and present
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers and shareholders, personally and in their representative capacities, from any and all claims, demands or causes of action, of whatever nature, whether legal or equitable, whether known or
unknown, in any manner arising out of Employee’s employment with or separation from the Company. 
 Employee acknowledges that the
amounts set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, upon payment, shall represent full and complete satisfaction of any and all monies purportedly due and owing to Employee arising out of, or relating in any way to, Employee’s employment with
or separation from service from the Company. Employee therefore expressly releases and waives his rights to pursue any and all claims, 

  

 - 4 - 

 
demands or causes of action against the Company regarding any of the employee benefits that he participated in as an employee, except as noted above.
Employee acknowledges that he is aware of his rights under federal, state and local statutory and common law, including those laws relating to age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et
seq.) and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 623 et seq.), and acknowledges that he has been advised of his right to consult with an attorney regarding his rights under such laws, and acknowledges that the
consideration being paid in connection with this Agreement is conditioned on his waiver of any and all such rights. 
 4.
Indemnification. Employee warrants and represents that he is not aware of any family member who has suffered loss of his services, companionship, emotional injury, physical injury, or any other harm or damages of any kind as a result of or
related in any way to Employee’s employment with or separation from service from the Company. Additionally, Employee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its affiliates harmless for any claims, demands, costs, damages, judgments,
attorneys’ fees, and costs asserted against or incurred by the Company or its affiliates as a result of or in defense of any action brought against the Company or its affiliates by any family member that arises out of or is in any way related
to Employee’s employment with or separation from service from Company or any other event arising prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 This Agreement shall not supersede, eliminate or replace the rights and obligations of the Employee and the Company provided in that certain Indemnification Agreement dated November 9, 2007 between the Employee and the Company.

 5. Compliance with Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act. The Parties desire and intend that this Agreement comply with the
terms of the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act. Accordingly, Employee acknowledges that he has been advised of the following rights: 
 (a) Employee understands that state and federal laws, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, prohibit employment discrimination based upon age, sex, race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, or
disability. Employee further understands and agrees that, by signing this Agreement, he agrees to waive any and all such claims, and release the Company from any and all such claims. 
 (b) Employee acknowledges that he has been advised in writing to consult with his attorney, has been provided with a reasonable
opportunity to consult with his attorney, and has, in fact, consulted with his attorney prior to signing this Agreement, which contains a general release and waiver of claims. 
 (c) Employee acknowledges that he was given the opportunity to consider the terms of this Agreement for twenty-one (21) days before
signing it and has used as much or as little of that time as he needed. Employee also acknowledges that he has seven (7) days following his signing of this Agreement to revoke it (the “Revocation Period”). If he revokes this
Agreement, it will be null and void and the Company shall have no obligation to perform any terms set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the Revocation Period has expired.

 (d) Employee acknowledges that he is receiving pursuant to this Agreement consideration
in addition to that to which he is already entitled. 
 6. Breach and Specific Enforcement. Both parties agree and acknowledge that
this Agreement may be used as evidence in any subsequent proceeding in which either party alleges a breach of this Agreement or asserts claims inconsistent with its terms. In the event that further legal action becomes necessary to enforce any of
the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree that any party that prevails in enforcing this Agreement through judgment, ruling, court order, or settlement shall be entitled to recovery, in addition to such party’s damages or any equitable
relief, such party’s reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees. If the party bringing the action fails, however, that party shall pay the prevailing party’s reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in
defending the action. In addition, from the effective date of this Agreement, if Employee breaches the noncompetition, confidentiality, cooperation or intellectual property provisions referenced in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, the Company will be
entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies including injunctive relief, to stop any remaining payments still owed to Employee under Paragraph 1 of this Agreement. 
 7. Successors and Assigns. The Company and Employee expressly agree that this Agreement shall remain binding and effective, in accordance with its terms, between Employee and any successor or assign of the
Company, including a successor or assign by merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or shares. 
 8.
Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. 
 9. Compliance with
Agreement and Severability. No failure by the Company to insist upon compliance with any term of this Agreement, to exercise any option, enforce any right, or seek any remedy, upon any default of Employee shall affect, or constitute a waiver of,
the Company’s right to insist upon strict compliance, exercise that option, enforce that right, or seek that remedy with respect to the default or any prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent default; nor shall any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with any provision of this Agreement affect, or constitute a waiver of, the Company’s right to demand strict compliance with all provisions of this Agreement. If any provision, section, subsection or other portion of this
Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, and that determination becomes final, the provision or portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to
the extent required to render the remaining provisions and portion of this Agreement enforceable. This Agreement as thus amended shall be enforced so as to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar as that is possible. In addition, the
parties expressly empower a court of competent jurisdiction to modify any term or provision of this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with existing law and to enforce this Agreement as modified.
