14.     Severability Clause

Should any part or provision of this Annex be held unenforceable or in conflict with the applicable law of any jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining parts or provisions shall not be affected thereby. The void, ineffective or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an appropriate provision, which most closely approximates to the sense and purpose of this Annex and which the parties to the Main Agreement would have wished if they had taken into account the voidness, ineffectiveness or unenforceability.
