Enforcement. In addition to all other legal remedies available to the Buyer and the Seller for the enforcement of the covenants set forth in this [Section 7.6], the Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Buyer may seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain any breach or threatened breach hereof by the Sellers or any Affiliate thereof. The covenants contained in this [Section 7.6] and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this [Section 7.6] are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Buyer, the Target Companies and their respective Affiliates, and constitute a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby.

Acknowledgment. Seller acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the covenants contained in Article VII is necessary to protect Buyer and that a breach of any such covenant would result in irreparable and continuing damage for which there would be no adequate remedy at law. Seller agrees that in the event of any breach of such covenant, Buyer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and to such other and further relief as is proper under the circumstances. Seller agrees that these covenants shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants not to compete for each year within the applicable periods of non-competition.
