German term or phrase: Lücke; Ausfüllung
Sollten eine oder mehrere Bestimmungen des Vertrages unwirksam sein oder werden, so werden die Parteien die unwirksamen Bestimmungen durch wirksame ersetzen. Wird bei der Umsetzung dieses Vertrages eine *Lücke* offenbar, die der *Ausfüllung* bedarf, gilt vorstehende Regelung entsprechend.

Kann man hier wirklich von "gap" und "filling" sprechen?

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: Yes, this is a contractual "Auslegungsregel", according to which a gap in the contract/agreement (should one become apparant) will be filled with a legally valid provision/arrangement (see: http://www.west.net/~smith/interpret.htm). :-)
