(a) If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of the franchise or this chapter is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.
(b) If a material provision of a franchise is affected by action of a court or of the State or Federal Government, the City and the grantee may modify any such provision to such reasonable extent as may be necessary to carry out the full intent and purpose of the franchise.
