9.5	Separate restrictions

The parties agree that:


(a)	clauses 9.1, 9.3 and 9.4 have effect together as if they consisted of separate restrictions, each resulting from combining an undertaking in clause 9.1 with a period in clause 9.3 and an area in clause 9.4, and each being severable from each other restriction;


(b)	clauses 9.2 and 9.3 have effect together as if they consisted of separate restrictions, each resulting from combining an undertaking in clause 9.2 with a period in clause 9.3 and each being severable from each other restriction; and
