Section 7.09 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, each of the Seller and Parent shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any Competing Business or (ii) own, manage, operate or control (or participate in the ownership,

management, operation or control of), be employed by, provide financing to, consult with or otherwise render services to any Person who is engaged in any Competing Business; provided that the ownership of an equity interest of not more than 2% in a publicly traded entity that is engaged in a Competing Business is not a violation of this covenant so long as such Person has no active participation in the business, management or operation of such entity.

During the Restricted Period, each of the Seller and Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice or induce any customer, supplier, distributor, sales representative, agent or contractor of Carmell, the Buyer, the Business, or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate his, her or its relationship with, or reduce the amount of business that he, she or it does with, Carmell, the Buyer, the Business, or any of their respective Affiliates, or otherwise interfere with any of Carmell’s, the Buyer’s, the Business’ or any of their respective Affiliates’ customer, supplier, distributor, contractor or other business relationships.

Non-Disparagement. Each of the Seller and Parent agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, such Party shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, in any way, either directly or indirectly, disparage Carmell, the Buyer, the Business, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, products, services, management, business practices, officers, managers, directors, employees or agents in any way that could adversely affect the goodwill, reputation or business relationships of Carmell, the Buyer, the Business or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the forgoing shall not restrict any Person’s truthful cooperation or testimony in connection with any investigation or inquiry by a Governmental Authority.

If either Parent or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates is in breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7.09, then the Restricted Period will be extended by the length of time during which such Person is in breach of any of such provisions.

Each the Seller and Parent acknowledges the highly competitive nature of the Business and acknowledges that the duration, geographical scope and subject matter of the restrictions contained in this Section 7.09 are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill, business relationships, legitimate business interests and confidential information of Carmell, the Buyer, the Business, and their respective Affiliates. The Parties recognize that the Laws and public policies of various jurisdictions may differ as to the validity and enforceability of covenants similar to those set forth in this Section 7.09. If at the time of enforcement of any provision of this Section 7.09, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions set forth herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area permitted by the applicable Laws of such jurisdiction will be substituted for the stated period, scope or geographical area and that such court shall be allowed to, and is hereby requested to, revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and geographical area permitted by Law; provided, that if any such restriction cannot be, or is not, so revised, then such restriction shall be ineffective in such jurisdiction to the minimum extent necessary to make the remainder of this Section 7.09 enforceable in such jurisdiction and such shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any such Party, money damages may be inadequate, and the non-breaching Party may have no adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that such non-breaching Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at Law or in equity, to seek to enforce its rights and the other Party’s or Parties’ obligations hereunder not only by an action for damages but also by an action, for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without the posting of bond or other security). Each of the Parties hereto agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the Seller or Parent, on the one hand, and to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Buyer, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10. PARTIES IN INTEREST

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as specifically identified herein (including with respect to the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons not parties hereto, each of whom is expressly made a third-party beneficiary hereof), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
