Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Shareholders against, and in respect of, claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations, and liabilities it may incur by reason of Buyer's breach of or failure to perform any of its warranties, guaranties, commitments, or covenants in this Agreement, or by reason of any act or omission of Buyer, or any of its successors or assigns, after the date of closing, that constitutes a breach or default under, or a failure to perform, any obligation, duty, or liability of any of GLOBAL under any loan agreement, lease, contract, order, or other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound at the date, but only to the extent to which Buyer expressly assumes these obligations, duties, and liabilities under this Agreement. 34. All notices to third parties and all other publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be jointly planned and coordinated by and between Buyer and Selling Parties. No party will act unilaterally in this regard without the prior written approval of the others; however, this approval will not be unreasonably withheld. 35. Each party represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker or finder in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and, as far as it knows, no broker or other person is entitled to any commission or finders fee in connection with any of these transactions. 36. Each party will pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 13 37. The subject headings of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Agreement are included for convenience only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise: a. Plural and singular numbers will each be considered to include the other; b. The masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will each be considered to include the others; c. The words `shall' `will' `agree' and `covenants' are each mandatory; d. The word `may' is permissive; e. The word `or' is not exclusive; and f. The words `includes' and `including' are not limiting. 38. This Agreement the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by all the parties. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. 39. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 40. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the parties to it and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement. No provision gives any third persons any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement. 41. Except as provided for in paragraph 42 below, any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the making, performance, or interpretation of it, will be settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator appointed under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy. The venue of any such arbitration shall be Orange County, California. 42. Each party's obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any party should default in its obligations under this Agreement, both parties acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the non-defaulting party or parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may sue in a court of law for specific performance or injunctive relief, and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate. 14 43. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled. 44. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 28, relating to the time of closing of this transaction, any party may on the date of closing or earlier terminate this Agreement, without liability to any other party except as specifically provided for in this Agreement: a. If any bona fide action or proceeding will be pending against any party on the date of closing that could result in an unfavorable judgment, decree, or order that would prevent or make unlawful the performance of this Agreement; or if any agency of the federal or of any state government has objected at or before the date closing to this acquisition or to any other action required by or in connection with this Agreement; b. If the legality and sufficiency of all steps taken and to be taken by the parties, their Shareholders and Board of Directors in carrying out this Agreement has not been taken to the satisfaction of counsel of any party; or c. If Buyer does not receive within sixty days of the date of this agreement the approval to the transfer of license under the California Bureau of Private Post Secondary Education to change of control of GLOBAL in order it operate the business of GLOBAL in substantially the same manner and offer the same services that are now being offered by GLOBAL. Buyer retains the right to extend the time and or waive this provision as provided for in paragraphs 19.c and 28. 45. If either Buyer or Selling Parties materially default in the due and timely performance of any of their warranties or agreements under this Agreement, the non-defaulting party or parties may on the date of closing give notice of termination of this Agreement, in the manner provided hereafter. The notice will specify with particularity the default or defaults on which the notice is based. The termination will be effective five days after the giving of such notice, unless the specified default or defaults have been cured on or before this effective date for termination. 46. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, or in any instrument, certificate, opinion, or other writing provided for in it, will survive the closing. 47. There are no representations or warranties made by any party except as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, or in an instrument, certificate, opinion, or other writing provided for in this Agreement. All statements contained in any of these instruments, certificates, opinions, or other writings will be considered to be representations and warranties under this Agreement. The representations, warranties, and indemnities made by the parties in this Agreement or in instruments, certificates, opinions, or other writings provided for in the agreement to be performed or complied with by the respective parties under it before the date of closing, will be continuing and will survive the closing, but will expire on the second anniversary date following the date of closing, unless a specific claim in writing with respect to these matters has been made, or an action at law or in equity or arbitration has been commenced or filed, before that date. Nothing in this paragraph will affect the obligations and indemnities of the parties with respect to covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are permitted to be performed, in whole or in part, after the date of closing. 15 All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be considered to have been duly given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth day after mailing if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, and properly addressed as follows: To Selling Parties at 32 A Mauchley Place Irvine, CA 92618 Khalid Mahmood 14 Villager Irvine, CA 92602 Aslam Ali 2504 Wilson Drive Irvine, CA 92782 To Buyer at: Digital Learning Management Corporation.
