to make it binding on and enforceable against him

Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be *binding on and enforceable against* the parties and their respective successors and assigns. ...

In the context of contracts, agreements and so forth, you can use either 'binding on' or 'enforceable against'; as Bourth says, either will work.
In the context of rights, claims and legal actions, it would be more usual to use 'raised against'/'relied upon'.
I very often use 'enforceable against', but that's just a personal preference.
Just for the purposes of information, my legal dictionary also offers:
'effective against' and 'valid vis-a-vis third parties' (for 'opposable aux tiers').
