Should STANLEY® Engineered Fastening be the converting party, it shall be reimbursed for any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion from Local Currency into U.S. Dollars.
(l) If any provision of the Agreement is held to be contrary to Local Law, such provision shall be modified as narrowly as necessary as to conform to Local Law. Any amendment required to be made by the foregoing shall be made in a manner so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by Local Law.
