(h).  Excluded Assets.  Any liability listed in Exhibit B and not expressly assumed by Buyer herein for the Assets that accrue before Closing are the sole liabilities and responsibility of the Seller, and Seller shall continue to be responsible for those liabilities that accrue for activity before Closing. Seller shall also release Buyer from any claims against Seller, both registered and unregistered.

 

This Agreement constitutes a sale of all assets of Seller only and is not a sale of any stock in any entity comprising of all or any part of the Seller.  Buyer is not assuming and shall not be responsible for the payment of any liabilities or obligations of the Seller or the shareholders of Seller whatsoever, including but not limited to Exhibit C or any leases, loans, or collective bargaining agreement or other agreement, benefits, plans, or arrangements affecting employees or suppliers.

b.  The Purchase Price balance shall be at the Closing in immediately available funds.

 

3.   Third Party Consents to Transfer.  This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any interest in any instrument, contract, lease, permit, or other agreement or arrangement or any claim, right, or benefit arising under or resulting from them if an assignment without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or violation of them or affect adversely the ability of Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries to convey the interest to Buyer without impairment.  If a consent of a third party which is required in order to assign any interest of Seller in and to the Assets is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, or if an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely affect Seller’s or one or more of its subsidiaries’ ability to convey the Asset(s) to Buyer without impairment: (a) Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries will cooperate with Buyer in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide that Buyer shall receive the Asset(s) of Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries in the benefits, and, to the extent Buyer receives such benefits, Buyer shall accept the burdens and perform the obligations, under any such instrument, contract, lease, permit or other agreement or arrangement, including performance by Buyer or Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries as agent for the other, if economically feasible and (b) any transfer or assignment to Buyer by Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries of any Asset under any such instrument, contract, lease, permit or other agreement or arrangement that requires the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained.  The terms and conditions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive and remain binding upon each of the parties hereto following the Closing hereof.

 

4.  Transferring Permits and Licenses.  Seller will assign, transfer or convey, or cause to be assigned, transferred, or conveyed to Buyer at the Closing those permits and licenses, to the extent that any Contract or any claim, correct, or benefit arising thereunder are held or used by the Seller in connection with the Assets and which can be assigned without having to obtain the consent of any third party with respect thereto.  Seller will cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any third party consents necessary to the assignment or transfer of any other permits or licenses used or held by Seller in connection with the Assets which are so assignable or transferable; however, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor except for filing fees and other ordinary administrative charges which shall be paid by Buyer to the third party from whom such approval, consent or waiver is requested.  Buyer shall assume, as of Closing, all obligations of Seller arising before, at, or after Closing under those permits and licenses which can be transferred without having to obtain the consent of any third party and those permits and licenses for which consent to transfer is obtained before Closing. 

 

5.  Assignment of Contracts.


(a). Contracts Assignable Without Consent.  Seller agrees to assign or cause to be assigned to Buyer, as of the Closing, all of the rights of Seller under the Contracts that are assignable without the consent of any third party, and Buyer shall assume, as of the Closing, all obligations of Seller thereunder which arise before, at or after Closing.

(b). Seller to Use Reasonable Efforts.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall not be obligated to sell, assign, transfer or convey or cause to be sold, assigned, transferred, or conveyed to Buyer, if applicable, any of its rights in and to any of the Contracts without first obtaining all necessary approvals, consents or waivers.  Seller shall use all reasonable efforts, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to obtain all necessary approvals, consents, or waivers or to resolve any impracticalities of transfer necessary to assign or convey to Buyer, if applicable, each such Contract as soon as practicable; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor except for filing fees and other ordinary administrative charges which Buyer shall pay to the third party from whom such approval, consent or waiver is requested.  Such approvals, consents, and waivers shall favor the Buyer.  If the Seller obtains consent to the assignment of a Contract before the Closing, Buyer shall assume, as of Closing, all obligations of Seller thereunder which arise before, at, or after the Closing, as though no consent was required.

 

(c). If Waivers or Consents Cannot be Obtained.  To the extent that any of the approvals, consents, or waivers referred to have not been obtained by Seller as of the Closing, or until the impracticalities of transfer are resolved, Seller shall, during the remaining term of such Contracts, use all reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the consent of any such third party with the filing fees and ordinary administrative charges payable to such third party to be split equally by the parties; (ii) cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of such Contracts to Buyer, so long as Buyer fully cooperates with Seller in such arrangements; and (iii) enforce, at the request of Buyer and at the expense and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising from such Contracts against such issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto (including the right to elect to terminate any such Contracts in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of, and indemnification from, Buyer).

 

(d). Non-assignability.   The rights and obligations of either party are not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred, or conveyed without the approval, consent, or waiver of the issuer thereof or the other party thereto, or any third person (including a government or governmental unit), or if such sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance or attempted assignment, transfer or conveyance would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any law, decree, order, regulation or another governmental edict, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof, or an attempted assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof.

 

6.  Disclosure of Confidential Information and Noncompetition.

 

a.  Non-Disclosure.  Seller agrees that Seller shall not use for any purpose and will not directly or indirectly disseminate or disclose to any other person or entity any of the trade secrets; marketing techniques and materials; customer names and all other information relating to Seller’s customers; price list; pricing policies and any financial information relating to the business of Seller or Buyer or its customers; employee lists, supplier lists; prospect list; and any other confidential or proprietary information relating to the business of Seller or Buyer (collectively the “Confidential Information”).


 

4



b.  Non-Solicitation.  For two (2) years following the Closing Date, the Seller shall not directly or indirectly: (i) contact, solicit, advise or consult any customer of either Seller or Buyer to cause such customer to purchase, license, or otherwise obtain products or services which are similar to or in any way compete with the products or services sold or provided by the Buyer; or (ii) induce, or attempt to induce, any customer to cancel, diminish, decrease or curtail any business relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the Buyer; or (iii) contact, solicit, induce or attempt to induce or influence any employee, independent contractor or agent of Buyer to terminate their employment, engagement or contractual relationship with Buyer.

 

c. Covenants Against Competition.  For two (2) years following the Closing Date, the Seller shall not within a one hundred (100) mile radius of Seller’s principal business address listed in the Preamble of this Agreement (the “Restricted Area”), directly or indirectly, assist or have an interest in (whether or not such interest is active), whether as partner, investor, stockholder, officer, director or as any principal whatever, or entered into the employment of or act as an independent contractor or agent for or advisor or consultant to any individual or entity that is or is about to become directly or indirectly engaged in, any business or activity which is the same or similar to the business of Buyer, or that competes in any manner with the business conducted by Buyer.

 

d.  Damages and Remedies.

 

(i)  Injunctive Relief.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably injured, the value of the business of Buyer would be irreparably damaged, and Buyer could not adequately be compensated solely by monetary damages if Seller were to violate the terms of Sections 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) of this Agreement (collectively the “Restrictions”).  Seller agrees that if Seller shall violate any of the Restrictions, Buyer specifically shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enjoin Seller’s violations of such Restrictions.  Seller agrees to (i) not oppose such injunctive relief and (ii) pay all court costs and attorney fees Buyer incurs in seeking or obtaining injunctive relief.  

 

(ii)  Remedies Cumulative.  The above remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Buyer is or may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement.

 

e.  Enforceability of Agreement.

 

(i)  Reasonableness of Restrictions.  The seller has carefully read and considered the Restrictions and, having done so, agrees that the Restrictions (including, but not limited to, the period of restriction and the geographical areas of restriction set forth herein) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interest of Buyer.  The Seller has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney before the execution of this Agreement and freely executes this Agreement following such consultation and with the advice of its attorney.

(ii)   Severability.  If, notwithstanding the preceding, any part of the Restrictions shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts thereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included herein.


 

5



(iii)   Time Period.  Suppose a Court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final judgment that the scope or period of any Restrictions is too broad to be capable of enforcement. In that case, such Court is authorized to modify such covenants and to enforce them to the full scope and extent and for the full-time period that the Court deems just and equitable.  

 

7.   Covenants of Seller.  Seller promises, covenants, and agrees:

 

a.

Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to transition as much Confidential Information as possible to Buyer, including Seller’s customers, clients, business relations, and goodwill.

 

b.

Seller shall provide to Buyer, on or about the Closing Date, all of its billing records, any other records relating to customer accounts, and any other records required by Buyer.

 

8.   Seller’s Representations and Warranties.  To the best knowledge of Seller, Seller makes the following representations and warranties and agrees the same shall be true and correct as of the Closing and for not less than one (1) year after that, where applicable:

 

a)

Seller is a Limited Liability Company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.  Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform or cause to be performed its obligations hereunder, and to consummate or the transactions cause to be consummated.

 

b)

The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein does not conflict with or violate any provisions of or create a breach of any agreement to which Seller is a party.

Seller has and will deliver to Buyer at Closing good and marketable title to all Assets to be transferred under this Agreement, free and clear of and from any claims, liens, encumbrances, security interest, or liabilities.

There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, against or involving Seller or one or more of its subsidiaries which questions the validity of this Agreement or seeks to prohibit or forbid or otherwise challenge the transactions contemplated, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no basis for any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation.

 

h)

All Assets sold herein by Seller are and will be adequately insured against fire or other casualties up to the Closing Date. Valid policies, therefore, are and will be outstanding and duly in force, and the premiums thereon will be paid until the Closing Date.
