Section 4.2. Exercisability of Option.

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable underSection 3.2;provided,however, that any partial exercise shall be for whole Shares only. For the avoidance of doubt, the Option shall not be exercisable with respect to any of the Shares subject thereto prior to the date (if any) the Option has vested with respect to such Shares in accordance withSection 3.1.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise.

Any exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised solely by delivering to the Office of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable underSection 3.2:

(a) notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other Person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

(b) full payment of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised (i) in cash (by check or wire transfer or a combination of the foregoing), (ii) a “net exercise” method whereby the Option Price for the Shares being exercised is satisfied by the Company withholding from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee, that number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the product of (x) the Option Price and (y) the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, (iii) following theLock-up Lapse Date, by delivery (on a form prescribed or accepted by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell the Shares subject to the Option and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Option Price, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing methods, as elected by the Optionee;

(c) abona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the Shares are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act, and that the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the Shares by such Person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above;provided,however, that the Committee may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations;

(d) unless already delivered, a written instrument (a “Joinder”) pursuant to which the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Management Stockholders Agreement to the same extent as a Management Stockholder thereunder, as provided asAnnex A to the Management Stockholders Agreement;

(e) full payment to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of all amounts which, under federal, state, local and/ornon-U.S. law, such entity is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option;provided, that, at the Optionee’s election, such withholding obligation may be satisfied by (i) the Company withholding from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee that number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to such withholding tax obligation (but in no event more than the minimum required tax withholding);provided,further, that, the Optionee’s right to elect such share withholding shall be subject to Section 4.3(b) of the Management Stockholders Agreement, and any limitations imposed under Delaware law or other Applicable Law and/or under the terms of any preferred stock, debt financing arrangements or other indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any such limitations resulting from the Company’s Subsidiaries being prohibited or prevented from distributing to the Company sufficient proceeds or funds to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in accordance with Delaware law or other Applicable Law and/or the then applicable terms and conditions of such arrangements); (ii) following theLock-up Lapse Date, by delivery (on a form prescribed or accepted by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell the Shares subject to the Option and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of any amounts the Company is required by law to withhold upon the exercise of the Option; or (iii) any combination of the foregoing methods, as elected by the Optionee; and

(f) in the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant toSection 4.1 by any Person or Persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such Person or Persons to exercise the Option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent transfer of Shares shall, in all cases, be subject to the terms and conditions of the Management Stockholders Agreement and the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option does not violate the Securities Act, and may, in its reasonable discretion, issue stop-transfer orders covering such Shares. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (c) above shall, however, not be required if the subsequent transfer of the Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise has been registered under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such Shares.

Following theLock-up Lapse Date and notwithstanding any provision of thisSection 4.3 to the contrary, (x) if the Optionee elects to have all or any portion of either the Option Price and/or any applicable tax withholding satisfied through broker-assisted exercise under clause (iii) ofSection 4.3(b) and/or clause (ii) ofSection 4.3(e), then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require that the Optionee elect broker-assisted exercise to pay 100% of the applicable tax withholding and Option Price for the portion of the Option being so exercised, and (y) if the Optionee elects to have all or any portion of the Option Price and/or any applicable tax

withholding satisfied through net settlement under clause (ii) ofSection 4.3(b) and/or clause (i) ofSection 4.3(e), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require that the Optionee instead satisfy all or any portion of such payment obligations pursuant to clause (iii) ofSection 4.3(b) and clause (ii) ofSection 4.3(e). If the Option Price and/or any applicable tax withholding is satisfied by an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker, the Optionee will be subject to the Company’s policies regarding insider trading restrictions, which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan (e.g., the Option). By acceptance of the Option granted hereunder, the Optionee certifies the Optionee’s understanding of and intent to fully comply with the standards contained in the Company’s insider trading policies (and related policies and procedures adopted by the Company).

Section 4.4. Conditions to Issuance of Shares.

The Company shall not be required to record the ownership by the Optionee of Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a) the obtaining of approval or other clearance from any federal, state, local ornon-U.S. governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

(b) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law; and

(c) the execution and delivery of the Joinder by the Optionee to the extent the Optionee is not already a party to the Management Stockholders Agreement.

Section 4.5. Rights as Stockholder.

The Optionee shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable in connection with the Option or any portion thereof unless and until a book entry representing such Shares has been made on the books and records of the Company.

All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Optionee and his or her beneficiaries or successors, the Company and all other interested persons (including, without limitation, any determination that the Optionee engaged in Repayment Behavior). No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Option. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan and this Agreement.

Section 5.2. Option Not Transferable.

Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in writing, neither the Option nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect;provided,however, that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, thisSection 5.2 shall not prevent transfers by will or by the Applicable Laws of descent and distribution.

Section 5.3. Forfeiture and Repayment Obligation for Engaging in Repayment Behavior.

(a) By accepting this Option, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, if the Committee determines that the Optionee engages in Repayment Behavior at any time during the Optionee’s Employment or theone-year period following the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, then, in addition to the consequences described inSection 3.1(c) above, upon the date on which the Optionee first engages in such Repayment Behavior (as determined by the Committee) (such date, the “Trigger Date”): (i) if and to the extent then outstanding, the portion of the Option held by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group that first vested and became exercisable during thetwo-year period immediately preceding the earlier of (x) the Trigger Date and (y) the date on which the Optionee’s Employment terminated shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration (such two year period, the “Claw Back Period” and such portion of the Option, the “Claw Back Option”), (ii) any Shares then held by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group that were acquired upon the exercise of the Claw Back Option will immediately cease to be transferable by the Optionee or any members of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group (other than to the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Management Stockholders Agreement, to the Company pursuant to this clause (ii), or transfers pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Management Stockholders Agreement) and, subject to any applicable Repurchase Limitations, may, at the Company’s election, be repurchased by the Company for a payment equal to the aggregate Option Price paid by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group to acquire such Shares, which election shall be made within the three (3) month period following the later of (A) the Trigger Date and (B) the date on which such Shares were acquired by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group (provided, that for purposes of this clause (ii), if the Company has made the election described above in this clause (ii), it shall repurchase all such Shares which the Company failed to purchase due to Repurchase Limitations as soon as practicable, in compliance with, and subject to the terms of, the Management Stockholders Agreement), and (iii) if the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group have sold any Shares (including any sales or repurchases pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the Management Stockholders Agreement as in effect on the date of the applicable sale or repurchase) that were acquired upon the exercise of the Claw Back Option during the Claw Back Period, the Optionee and each member of the Optionee’s Management

Stockholder Group shall be required to promptly (and in any event, no later than ten (10) days following receipt of notice thereof from the Company or one of its Affiliates) pay to the Company, in cash (in U.S. dollars) and on demand in immediately available funds by wire transfer an amount equal to (A) the amount paid by the acquiror(s) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, could include the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee, or any Sponsor Stockholder, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the Management Stockholders Agreement as in effect on the date of the applicable sale or repurchase) to the Optionee and/or the members of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group in such sale(s) of Shares, minus (B) the aggregate Option Price paid by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group to acquire such sold Shares;provided, that such amount shall not be less than zero. The Optionee understands that thisSection 5.3 does not prohibit the Optionee from competing with the Company and its Affiliates, but rather simply imposes the economic consequences described in thisSection 5.3 if the Committee determines that the Optionee has engaged in Repayment Behavior.

(b) For purposes of thisSection 5.3, if the Optionee and/or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group sell any Shares during the Claw Back Period and, at the time of any such sale, the Optionee and the other members of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group collectively own (after giving effect to this sentence) both (x) Shares that were acquired upon exercise of the Claw Back Option during the Claw Back Period and (y) Shares that were not acquired upon exercise of the Claw Back Option during the Claw Back Period, then the Shares that are sold shall be conclusively deemed to not have been acquired upon exercise of the Claw Back Option during the Claw Back Period unless and until, after giving effect to this sentence, all Shares described in clause (y) have been sold in such sale and are no longer owned by the Optionee or any other member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group (e.g., if on a date of sale of Shares, the Optionee and the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group own an aggregate of 1,000 Shares described in clause (x) and 1,000 Shares described in clause (y) and the Optionee and/or other members of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group sell an aggregate of 1,500 Shares, 500 of the Shares sold will be deemed to be Shares that were acquired upon exercise of the Claw Back Option during the Claw Back Period). The Optionee agrees to promptly provide the Company with all information that the Company reasonably requests in order to determine any amount payable pursuant to thisSection 5.3 to the Company by the Optionee or any member of the Optionee’s Management Stockholder Group.

Section 5.4. Applicability of the Plan and the Management Stockholders Agreement.

The Option, and the Shares issued to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Management Stockholders Agreement, to the extent applicable to the Option and such Shares, with the exception of any provision of the Management Stockholders Agreement relating to the clawback of Shares or Share proceeds in connection with repayment behaviors or forfeiture of Shares or Share proceeds in connection with post-retirement service. Any disputes regarding the determination of matters contemplated in the Management Stockholders Agreement (including but not limited to the determination of whether the Optionee engaged in Repayment Behavior for purposes of the Management Stockholders Agreement (but not for purposes of this Agreement)) shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 (Governing Law) and Section 7.4 (Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) of the Management Stockholders Agreement. In the

event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement or the Plan and the Management Stockholders Agreement, the terms of the Management Stockholders Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Management Stockholders Agreement, as of the Merger Closing, this Agreement shall be the exclusive source of forfeiture and clawback provisions applicable to Shares and Share proceeds.

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be contained in a written instrument delivered in person or sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission),e-mail (with written confirmation of transmission) or a nationally-recognized overnight courier, which shall be addressed, in the case of the Company to the Office of the Secretary; and if to the Optionee, to the address,e-mail address or facsimile number appearing in the personnel records of the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable. By a notice given pursuant to thisSection 5.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to the Optionee, shall, if the Optionee is then deceased, be given to the Optionee’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of the representative’s status and address by written notice under thisSection 5.5. Any and all notices, designations, offers, acceptances or other communications shall be conclusively deemed to have been given, delivered or received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the day of actual delivery thereof, (ii) in the case of facsimile ore-mail, on the day of transmittal thereof if given during the normal business hours of the recipient, and on the business day during which such normal business hours next occur if not given during such hours on any day, and (iii) in the case of dispatch by nationally-recognized overnight courier, on the next business day following the disposition with such nationally-recognized overnight courier. By notice complying with the foregoing provisions of thisSection 5.5, each party shall have the right to change its mailing address,e-mail address or facsimile number for the notices and communications to such party. The Company and the Optionee hereby consent to the delivery of any and all notices, designations, offers, acceptances or other communications provided for herein by electronic transmission addressed to thee-mail address or facsimile number of the Company and the Optionee, as applicable, as provided herein.

Section 5.6. Titles; Interpretation.

Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. Defined terms used in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms thereof. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The term “hereunder” shall mean this entire Agreement as a whole unless reference to a specific section or provision of this Agreement is made. Any reference to a Section, subsection and provision is to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

Section 5.7. No Right to Employment or Additional Options or Stock Awards.

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Employment, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the Employment of the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, subject to the applicable provisions, if any, of the Optionee’s Employment agreement (if any such agreement is in effect at the time of such termination). Neither the Optionee nor any other Person shall have any claim to be granted any additional Options or any other Stock Awards and there is no obligation under the Plan for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Options or other Stock Awards. The terms and conditions of the Option granted hereunder or any other Stock Award granted under the Plan or otherwise and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto and/or with respect to the Optionee and any other Participant need not be the same (whether or not the Optionee and any such Participant are similarly situated).

In addition, except as otherwise provided in the Optionee’s Employment agreement, if the Optionee ceases to be an employee or other service provider to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, under no circumstances will the Optionee be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan which the Optionee might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise. By accepting the Option granted hereunder, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Option granted hereunder and any other Options or other Stock Awards the Optionee has been awarded under the Plan and any other Options or other Stock Awards the Optionee may be granted in the future, even if such Options or other Stock Awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount: (a) are wholly discretionary, are not a term or condition of Employment and do not form part of a contract of Employment, or any other working arrangement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, (b) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future Options or other Stock Awards or to continued Employment, and (c) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including, without limitation, termination indemnities, severance, resignation, redundancy, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or similar payments, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or as otherwise expressly provided in the Optionee’s Employment agreement.

Section 5.8. Data Privacy.

(a) The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s Data as described in thisSection 5.8 by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates, (including any of their respective payroll administrators), wherever they may be located, (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that the Data Recipients will collect, hold, and process certain personal information about the Optionee (including, without limitation, (i) the Optionee’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality and job detail and (ii) details of the Option granted hereunder and any other Stock Award granted to the Optionee) (such personal information, the “Data”).

(b) The Data Recipients will treat the Data as private and confidential and will not disclose the Data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and will take reasonable measures to keep the Data private, confidential, accurate and current.

(c) Where the transfer is to a destination outside the jurisdiction in which the Optionee resides, the Company and its Affiliates (including any of their respective payroll administrators) shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Data continues to be adequately protected and securely held. Nonetheless, by accepting the Option granted hereunder, the Optionee acknowledges that the Data may be transferred to a jurisdiction that does not offer the same level of protection as the jurisdiction in which the Optionee resides. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of the Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option. The Optionee understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

(d) The Optionee may, at any time, view the Data, require any necessary corrections to the Data or withdraw the consent referenced in thisSection 5.8 by contacting the Secretary of the Company. The Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the processing of personal data, including the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that the Optionee may contact the Optionee’s local human resources representative.

Section 5.9. Nature of Grant.

In accepting the grant, the Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or its Affiliates takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or othertax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for allTax-Related Items legally due by the Optionee is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility, and the Optionee shall pay to, and indemnify and keep indemnified, the Company and its Affiliates from and againstTax-Related Items legally due by the Optionee that are attributable to the exercise of, or any benefit derived by the Optionee from, the Option and that the Company and its Affiliates (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of anyTax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Agreement, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise or the receipt of any dividends with respect to such Shares; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability forTax-Related Items.

In addition, in accepting the grant, the Optionee acknowledges that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement;

(b) the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(d) the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Optionee’s Employment at any time with or without Cause;

(e) the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f) this Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Affiliates, and is outside the scope of the Optionee’s Employment agreement, if any;

(g) this Option, and benefit derived therefrom, is not part of the Optionee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(h) if the Optionee ceases to be an employee or other service provider to the Company and its Affiliates, this Agreement will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and furthermore, in no event will the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or this Option grant be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Company or any of its Affiliates;

(i) (i) the future value of the Shares underlying this Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (ii) if such underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; and (iii) if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains Shares, the value of those Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option Price;

(j) (i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option, or diminution in value of the Option or Shares purchased through exercise of the Option, resulting from termination of the Optionee’s Employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise, and (ii) if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Optionee’s entitlement to pursue such claim;

(k) (i) in the event of involuntary termination of the Optionee’s Employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option after such termination, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Optionee’s active Employment (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law and (ii) the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for all purposes under this Agreement; and

(l) each of the provisions in this Agreement and the restrictions set out inSection 5.3 hereof is an entirely separate, severable and independent provision and/or restriction. If any provision or part-provision, restriction or part-restriction of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision or restriction or part-restriction shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision or restriction or part-restriction under thisSection 5.9(l) shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
