If any provision of this section 3-4-10, the application of any provision of this section 3-4-10, or the imposition of this tax on any particular transaction, person or item of tangible personal property is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such occurrence shall not affect other provisions of this section 3-4-10 or their application to other transactions, persons or items of tangible personal property. It is the express intention of the corporate authorities that each unconstitutional or invalid provision, or application of such provision, is severable, unless otherwise provided by this section 3-4-10. It is also the express intention of the corporate authorities that if any exemption contained in this section 3-4-10 is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, then this section 3-4-10 shall be applied as if such exemption had not been enacted.
