The parties  hereto acknowledge  and agree that the
covenants contained herein  shall be  construed  as a
series of separate covenants.  In  the  event that any of
the covenants as to a geographical area shall be held
invalid  or  unenforceable,  then the remaining  provisions

period which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.
