c.    If any court of competent jurisdiction construes any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Paragraph 7, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or scope covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

9.    Effect of Obtaining New Employment. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 above, your acceptance of a position with another employer after your Designated Last Day of Work will not affect your eligibility for the Program Separation Benefits described in Attachment A, except your eligibility to remain in BMT’s group health insurance plan will cease as soon as you become eligible for your new employer’s health insurance coverage, and if applicable, BMT’s obligation to pay you the Medicare subsidy will cease immediately upon your commencing any new employment. You are required to notify BMT in writing immediately if you obtain new employment and to advise BMT whether and when you become eligible to participate in any new employer’s group health plan.
