Any agreement and its component provisions are subordinate to any present or future Federal or Colorado State Laws or regulations or final decision of any Colorado Court or administrative agency having requisite jurisdiction and any Board policy in effect pertaining to any agreement. Each such provision will be deemed amended or severed to the extent necessary to comply with such law, regulation, or decision.
