Purchaser acknowledges that violation of such covenant not to compete would cause irreparable harm to Seller, which cannot be fully redressed by payment of damages. Accordingly, Seller shall be entitled in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at law or in equity, to an injunction, enjoining or restraining Purchaser from any violation or threatened violation of this section. If any of the rights or restrictions contained herein shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or geographical scope thereof or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto contemplate that the court shall reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision and enforce this section in its reduced form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.
