20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other part of this Agreement, but the Agreement shall be construed as not containing the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid or unenforceable.
