Accordingly, (x) HomeFed covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver from the SEC in connection with the GAAP Financials referenced in clauses (a) and (b) hereof (the “Waiver”); and (y) if the Waiver is not granted, the Applicable Companies covenant to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare the required GAAP Financials referenced in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 14 within sixty-seven (67) days from the Closing Date. The Waiver will have no impact on the need to prepare the GAAP Financials referenced in clause (c) of this Section 14 and so the Applicable Companies will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver audited GAAP Financials referenced in clause (c) by March 20, 2019.
