Common use of Challenges to Validity Clause in Contracts

Challenges to Validity. Should I attempt to challenge the enforceability of the release of Claims in Section 3(b), I agree first (1) to deliver a certified check to Semtech for all amounts I have received on account of my release of Claims because I signed this Agreement, plus 8 percent interest per annum, (2) to direct in writing that all future benefits or payments I am to receive because I signed this Agreement be suspended, and (3) to invite Semtech to cancel this Agreement. If Semtech accepts my offer, this Agreement will be canceled. If it rejects my offer, Semtech will notify me and deposit the amount I repaid, plus all suspended future benefits and payments, in an interest-bearing account pending a determination of the enforceability of this Agreement. If the release of Claims in Section 3(b) is determined to be enforceable, Semtech is to pay me the amount in the account, less any amounts I owe Semtech. If the release of Claims in Section 3(b) is determined to be unenforceable, the amount credited to the account shall be paid to the entities that paid the consideration for this Agreement in proportion to their payments, and the suspension of future benefits or payments shall become permanent.
