The restrictions contained in this Section 5.5 (other than the confidentiality provisions) shall not be binding upon any third party purchaser of Parent, or of any assets, stock, division or business unit of Parent or of any Affiliate of Parent.
(b) Seller and Parent represent and warrant that there are no employees, consultants or agents of Parent having expertise in the operation of the Applicable Business or having a relationship with any customers of the Applicable Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the foregoing representation and warranty and all indemnification rights with respect thereto shall not expire until the date that is three (3) years after the date hereof.
(c) Seller and the Parent hereby agree that, for a period of three (3) years following the date hereof, without the express written consent of IHS, none of Seller, the Parent and their respective Affiliates will directly or indirectly, for themselves or on behalf of any other person, firm, entity or other enterprise:

Accordingly, the Parent and Seller each agrees that upon the violation by it of any of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.5, Buyer and IHS shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction a preliminary and permanent injunction as well as any other relief provided at law, equity, under this Agreement or otherwise, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security whatsoever. In the event any of the foregoing restrictions are adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the parties agree that the period of time or the scope of such restrictions (or both) shall be adjusted to such a manner or for such a time (or both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.
(e) The Parent and Seller each acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 are independent covenants and that any failure by the Buyer or IHS to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not be a defense to enforcement of the covenants contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to a temporary or permanent injunction.
(f) Seller and Parent agree to take any and all actions necessary, including, without limitation, commencement of legal proceedings, to enforce each of the non-competition agreements set forth on Schedule 1.4
