In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable (in whole or in part) pursuant to applicable law by a court or other governmental authority, the Parties agree that: (a) any such authority shall have the power, and is hereby requested by the Parties, to reduce or limit the scope or duration of such provision to the maximum permissible under applicable law or to delete such provision or portions thereof to the extent it deems necessary to render the balance of such Agreement enforceable; (b) such reduction, limitation or deletion shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable provision or portion thereof were so reduced, limited or deleted, in each case unless such reduction, limitation or deletion of the unenforceable provision or portion thereof would impair the practical realization of the principal rights and benefits of either Party hereunder; provided that if any provision of the release of claims in Section 2(a) herein is held to be invalid and the Employee proceeds with any claim within the scope of Section 2(a) against any of the Company Releasees, then the Employee agrees to return all consideration paid to him under Section 1 hereof, and the Company will be relieved from any further obligation to provide the Employee with any further compensation, benefit, or consideration described in this Agreement; (c) such determination and such reduction, limitation and/or deletion shall not be binding on or applied by any court or other governmental authority not otherwise bound to follow such conclusions pursuant to applicable law; and (d) upon the written request of SGRP, the Employee agrees to promptly execute a substantially similar release, waiver or covenant that counsel to SGRP advises should be legal and enforceable before the same tribunal.
