The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Article 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Parties and that neither Party would have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Article 9 would result in irreparable injury to the other Party for which there would be no adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Article 9 by a Party, the other Party shall be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such Party may be entitled in law or equity.  The breaching Party agrees to waive any requirement that the non-breaching Party (a) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief and (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy.  Nothing in this Section 9.7 is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the Parties’ rights to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any provision of this Agreement.
