of the provision itself. Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or
is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or

as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so
as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or
invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or
applicable court decisions.
