                  If any covenant or provision in this paragraph 8 is determined to be unenforceable or declared invalid in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, it shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other covenant or provision hereof or any part hereof, and any such unenforceable or invalid covenant or provision hereof or any part thereof is hereby conceded to be severable and subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 8 are hereby declared to be separate and distinct covenants.
