If a provision of this contract is or shall become ineffective, the legal validity of the remaining provisions remain unaffected by such. The contractual parties shall agree to an effective provision in the place of the ineffective provision which comes closest to the mutual will, economically speaking. Likewise applies to the filling of any regulatory loopholes.
