The invalid, illegal, unenforceable and/or impracticable provision shall be deemed to be replaced by such valid, legal and enforceable provision or arrangement which comes as close as possible to the spirit and economic purpose of this Agreement and the original intent of the Parties. The Parties expressly agree that the foregoing provision does not merely shift the burden of proof but that Section 139 BGB shall entirely not apply so that none of the Parties have to argue (darlegen) and prove (beweisen) the Parties' intent to uphold this Agreement even without the invalid, illegal, unenforceable and/or impracticable provision.

(b) In the event of any omission or contractual loophole (Vertragslücke) or if any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous or incomplete, the Agreement shall be construed or amended in a manner that best reflects the spirit, contents and purpose of this Agreement

9.5 Counterparts

This Agreement and any amendments hereof may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different Parties hereto on different counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Agreement.
