In the event that any one or more provisions contained herein shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect, unless the revision materially changes the bargain. ZimVie Dental’s failure to enforce, or ZimVie Dental’s waiver of a breach of, any provision contained herein shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or of such provision.
