     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause, the period of the non-competition restriction shall be for the duration of the severance period.
     The parties hereto agree that both the scope and nature of the covenant and the duration and area for which the covenant not to compete set forth in this Article VI is to be effective are reasonable in light of all facts and circumstances. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation any provision of this Article VI, shall to any extent be held invalid, unreasonable or unenforceable, in any circumstances, the parties hereto agree that the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision of this Agreement to other circumstances shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered by such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power, and is hereby asked by the parties, to reduce the scope, duration and/or areas of such provisions (and to substitute appropriate provisions for any such unenforceable provisions) in order to make such provisions enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and/or to delete specific words and phrases, and such modified provisions shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.
VII.
