Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the Buyer, and its affiliates, agents and representatives, from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, claims and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including without limitation court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (“Damages”), incurred in connection with or arising out of or resulting from (a) any material breach of any covenant or warranty, or any inaccuracy in any representation made by the Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement; (b) the material failure by the Seller to perform or observe any term, provision or covenant of this Agreement; (c) any liability of the Company or Seller asserted against Buyer or affiliates, including any third-party claims arising from the act or omission of the Company or Seller, or the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates relating to the Company or any liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Company prior to the Closing; (d) the enforcement of this indemnification obligation; or (e) all taxes payable by the Company that are allocable to taxable period, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date. This indemnification obligation shall survive for three (3) years from the date hereof. Any indemnification obligation incurred by Seller hereunder may be satisfied by Seller, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, either through: (i) the transfer and conveyance by Seller to Buyer of a number of HUMBL Shares equal in value to the amount of the Damages, or (ii) the offset of the Damages against amounts owing under the Note.
4.5. Covenant Not to Compete. The Seller agrees that for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), with respect to any area in which the Company, during the Restricted Period, is engaged or intends to become engaged in the Company’s business, he shall not, alone, together or in association with others, as owner, shareholder, member, officer, director, manager, partner, lender, investor, consultant, principal, agent, independent consultant, co-venturer, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly engage in, have a financial interest in, or be in any way connected or affiliated with or render advice or service to, any person, firm, business or enterprise which is in competition with the business of the Company. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the duration and area for which the covenant not to compete set forth above is to be effective are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Buyer, and the Seller hereby waives any objections to or defenses in respect thereof. In the event that any court determines that such time period or area, or both, are unreasonable, and that such covenant is to that extent unenforceable, each of the Buyer and the Seller agrees that this paragraph shall be deemed amended to delete such provisions or portions adjudicated to be unenforceable so that the covenant shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest geographic area that would not render it unenforceable.
4.6. Ownership of Intellectual Property. The Seller acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any Buyer Confidential Information (as defined in Section 4.8 below)) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to the Company’s actual business, research and development, currently existing or currently anticipated future products or services and which were conceived, developed or made by the Seller (whether above or jointly with others) prior to the Closing Date, belong to the Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall perform all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).
4.7. Release of Claims. The Seller, together with the Seller’s heirs, representatives and assigns, hereby fully and completely releases and waives any and all claims, complaints, causes of action or demands of whatever kind which he has or may have against the Buyer and the Company, their respective officers, employees, members or managers, arising out of any actions, conduct, decisions, behavior or events occurring prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation claims related to the Seller’s ownership of the Shares or any other equity or claim thereto of the Company. The Seller understands and accepts that this release specifically covers but is not limited to any and all claims, complaints, causes of action or demands which the Seller has or may have against the above-referenced released parties.

4.9. Nondisparagement. By execution below, the Seller agrees not to disparage or defame the Buyer or their products or services. In addition, the Seller agrees not to counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges or complaints by any third party against the Buyer and/or any officer, manager, employee, agent, representative, member or attorney of the Buyer, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or pursuant to violations of agreements entered into between any of the Parties after the execution of this Agreement.
