(b)that each of the covenants set forth in Sections 11, 12 and 13 and the subdivisions thereof are separately and independently given, and each such covenant is intended to be enforceable separately and independently of the other such covenants, including, without limitation, enforcement by injunction without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security; provided, however, that the invalidity or unenforceability of this Restated Agreement in any respect shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Restated Agreement in any other respect.  In the event that any provision of this Restated Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Restated Agreement or the enforcement of such provision in other circumstances, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, this Restated Agreement shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis

7

on which such provision has been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable.

14.4Nothing in Sections 10 and 11 shall prohibit Executive from being (i) a stockholder in a mutual fund or a diversified investment company or (ii) an owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation, any securities of which are publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
