(b) | The undertakings contained in this Schedule are no more extensive than is reasonable to protect genuine commercial interests of the Purchaser; | |
(c) | In so far as each of the restraints relates to any activity, commodity, capacity, person, area or place is separate, distinct and severable from any other activity, commodity, capacity, person, area or place; and | |
(d) | The invalidity of a restraint in respect of any one or more of such particulars shall not affect its validity in respect of any of the others. |
4. | SEPARATE UNDERTAKINGS | |
4.1 | For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the restraints in clause 2 of this Schedule shall have effect as if it were a number of separate covenants, consisting of: | |

4.4 | If any part of a Restraint Obligation is, or is found to be unenforceable for any reason, then such invalid or unenforceable part may be severed without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining part of that Restraint Obligation, or any of the other Restraint Obligations. |
4.5 | In the event that any of the several separate covenants identified in clause 2 of this Schedule are found to be void, but would be valid if some part were deleted, then such undertaking shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. |
5. | EXCLUSIONS |
Nothing in this Schedule prevents a Covenantor (or any of its associates) from holding less than 10 per cent of the issued shares or units of a body corporate or a unit trust listed on an official stock exchange. |
6. | VALUE OF THE KARTKRAFT ASSETS AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF | ||
6.1 | Value of KartKraft Assets | ||
Each Covenantor agrees and acknowledges that a failure to comply with the terms of this Schedule may reduce the value of the KartKraft Assets and the undertakings in this Schedule are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate commercial interests of the Purchaser. | |||
6.2 | Injunctive relief | ||
Each Covenantor acknowledges that: | |||
(a) | Monetary damages alone may not be adequate compensation for the Purchaser for a breach the terms of this Schedule; and | ||
(b) | The Purchaser is entitled to seek an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction if: | ||
(i) | a Covenantor breaches any provision of this Schedule, or threatens to do so; or | ||
