Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, sell or transfer any contract or any other asset that is not assignable or transferrable without the consent of any Person to the extent that such consent shall not have been given prior to the Closing (the “Unassigned Assets”), and any such Unassigned Asset shall not be a Purchased Asset under this Agreement; provided, that the Seller shall assign its freely assignable rights under such Unassigned Assets. The Purchased Assets shall include $200,000 of the Loan Parties’ cash (the “Purchased Cash”), which shall be wired to the Buyer no later than the business day following the Closing Date. Within ten days following the Closing Date, Seller shall obtain from the Loan Parties, and deliver to Buyer, a schedule setting forth the Purchased Assets with a value of $25,000 or more (the “Material Assets”) and a written certification (the “Asset Certification”) providing that the Loan Parties owned such Material Assets immediately prior to the Closing Date, that such Material Assets were included in the Purchased Assets and the location of such Material Assets.

Buyer shall not advise or encourage any Hired Employee to request paid time off to be paid by MVF and shall not waive, amend, modify or terminate any provision of an offer letter executed by a Hired Employee (“Offer Letter”) related to paid (personal) time off. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Offer Letters to Seller. For purposes of clarity, Buyer shall not assume any liability or obligation for paid time off of employees of the Loan Parties who have not agreed that such paid time off shall be assumed by the Buyer.
1.3 Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Purchase Assets to Buyer, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 5.1 below), in full payment for all right, title and interest of Seller in the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall issue to Lenders (i) 2,000,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of common stock of Buyer (“Common Stock”), and (ii) a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Consideration”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase 800,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

4.6 Publicity; Confidentiality.
(a) Except for a filing of a report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, without the prior written approval of Buyer and Seller, no party shall disclose the existence and/or contents of any discussions relating hereto nor issue any press release or other public disclosure regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as required by applicable securities or other laws.
(b) Seller and each Lender understands and agrees that any confidential and proprietary information of the Buyer, including, without limitation, any and all trade secrets (“Confidential Information”), constitutes valuable assets and, following the Closing, agrees not to, and agrees to cause its controlled affiliates not to, direct or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or a Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Seller nor any Lender will be restricted from disclosing Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law after the Closing, (i) the applicable Seller or Lender shall provide the Buyer with as much advanced notice as is practicable of such requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure, and (ii) the applicable Seller or Lender shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in seeking such protective order (at the Buyer’s cost and expense) and (B) only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by the law.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement may disclose the contents of this Agreement and Confidential Information in any legal proceedings between the parties relating to this Agreement or to any advisors, service providers or investors (provided such advisors, service providers and investors agree to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6).

4.8 MVF Employees. As of the Closing, other than PTO, Seller shall ensure that all payment obligations of MVF to current or past employees of MVF have been satisfied in full under California law, which shall consist solely of current wages, and that all MVF employees are terminated. Buyer shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to any obligations to, or any claims of, any current or past MVF employees, except with respect to PTO as set forth in Section 1.2 above. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall make an offer in writing to hire all existing employees of MVF whose names are listed in the document entitled “Modern VideoFilm, Inc., Current Active Employees,” which Seller delivered to Buyer or its representatives on July 5, 2015 (the “Employee List”), in substantially similar roles, and with the same annual salary, as set forth on the Employee List with respect to such employee. For the avoidance of doubt, other than PTO assumed as provided in Section 1.2, Buyer is not assuming any of the Loan Parties’ obligations or liabilities to its employees.

4.12 Transactions with Affiliates. At any time that Buyer ceases to have filing obligations under the Exchange Act, neither Buyer nor any direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer will enter into any material contract (oral or written) or material transaction with (including, without limitation, issuance of equity interests or incurrence of debt to or from) any Affiliated Person without the prior written consent of Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing sentence shall not impair Buyer’s ability to make claims under Section 7.2 related to the validity, priority, extent and enforceability of Seller's liens on, and rights with respect to, the Purchased Assets, and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Assets free and clear of all liens, security interests and other claims on title and encumbrances.
