In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the validity of the other provisions of this Release Agreement shall not be impaired. If any provision of this Release Agreement shall be deemed invalid as to its scope, then, notwithstanding such invalidity, such provision shall be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties agree that, if any court or arbitrator makes such a determination, such court or arbitrator shall have the power to modify the duration, scope and/or area of such provision and/or to delete specific words and phrases by “blue penciling” and, in its reduced or blue penciled form, to enforce such provision to the fullest extent permitted by law.
