In addition, Seller has had and will continue to have access to trade secrets and confidential business methods, plans and practices considered confidential by Buyer prior to the Closing Date and after the Closing Date. This information has commercial value in the business in which Buyer will be engaged after the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. Buyer post-Closing will be irreparably damaged and its substantial investment in the transactions contemplated herein materially impaired if Seller were to enter into an activity competing or interfering with the Business in violation of the terms of this Agreement. The scope and length of the term of the terms of this Article VII and the geographical restrictions contained herein are fair and reasonable and not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind, and the full, uninhibited and faithful observance of each of the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will not cause Seller any undue hardship, financial or otherwise. The agreements and covenants provided by Seller in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to Buyer’s protection of its legitimate interests in the transactions contemplated herein. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Article VII shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provisions or portion of this Article VII shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Article VII shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this Article VII in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

Section 7.03 Covenants.

 

  (a) Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will not (directly or indirectly) without the express written approval of Buyer, Compete (as defined below) with Buyer at any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Term”). As used in this Agreement, to “Compete” shall mean to, directly or indirectly, either itself or through one or more Affiliates, own, operate, be employed by, act as an independent contractor to, or act as an advisor to, any business or enterprise that is substantially similar to the Business as conducted on the Closing Date, or which provides, in whole or in part, the same or similar services and/or products as offered by Seller in the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date. The restrictions set forth in this Article VII shall apply to the activities of Seller worldwide. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, ownership, either of record or beneficially, of 5% or less of the outstanding securities of any class of securities of a public company shall not be considered to be competition with Buyer and shall not be a violation of any of the terms or conditions of this Article VII.
     
  (b) Seller agrees that, during the Term, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly (a) solicit or accept, or induce any person to reduce goods or services to Buyer; (b) in any manner assist others in the solicitation, acceptance, or inducement of, any business transactions with the existing and prospective clients, accounts or suppliers related to the Business; (c) solicit or induce any client or person to cease being a customer or client of Buyer or the Business or reduce their business relationship with Buyer or the Business; or (d) solicit or accept, or induce any employee, independent contractor or agent of Seller or related to the Business to cease being engaged or retained by Buyer, or to reduce their engagement therewith.

 

Section 7.05 Remedies. The Parties recognize and acknowledge that the performance of the obligations under this Article VII by Seller is special, unique and extraordinary in character and Seller acknowledges that Buyer will be irreparably damaged (and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy) if this Article VII is not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach, or threatened breach, by Seller of any provision of this Article VII, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies which may be available at law or in equity, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Article VII.

 

Article VIII. TERMINATION

  (c) By Seller (i) if the conditions to Closing as set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.03 have not been satisfied or waived by the Seller, which waiver the Seller may give or withhold in its sole discretion, by the Termination Date, provided, however, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) if the reason for the failure of any such condition to occur was the breach of the terms of this Agreement by Seller; or (ii) or there has been a material violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, which violation, breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 not to be satisfied, and such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Seller or cured by the Buyer, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Buyer of written notice thereof from Seller or is not reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date; or
     
  (d) At any time prior to the Closing by any Party, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and such order or action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

 

Section 8.02 Survival After Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by in accordance with Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect with no liability to any Person on the part of any Party hereto (or any officer, agent, employee, direct or indirect holder of any equity interest or securities, or Affiliates of any Party); provided, however, that this Section 8.02, Article IX, Article X and Article XI shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (iii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for fraud or any willful and material breach of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement.

 

Article IX. INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 9.01 Indemnification of Buyer. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the Buyer, each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all out-of-pocket loss, cost, payments, demand, penalty, forfeiture, expense, liability, judgment, deficiency or damage, and diminution in value or claim (including actual costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with (i) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller contained herein or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto; and (ii) the ownership, and operation of the Assets prior to the Closing Date, including due to any Actions by any third parties with respect to the Assets for any period prior to the Closing Date.

 

 11 

 

 

Section 9.02 Indemnification of Seller. The Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the Seller and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or sustained by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with (i) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Buyer contained herein or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto; and (ii) and the ownership, and operation of the Assets following the Closing Date, including due to any Actions by any third parties with respect to the Assets for any period following the Closing Date.

 

Section 9.03 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification:

 

  (a) An indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party Action with respect to which such indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such indemnified Party under Section 9.01 or Section 9.02, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the indemnifying Party to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.
     
  (b) In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any indemnified Party, such indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the indemnifying Party, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 are applicable to such Action and the indemnifying Party will indemnify such indemnified Party in respect of such Action pursuant to the terms of this Article IX and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the indemnifying Party’s liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the indemnifying Party to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
     
  (c) If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.03(b), then the indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the indemnifying Party and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such indemnified Party unless (i) the indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying Party.

 

 12 

 

 

  (d) If the indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.03(b), the indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the indemnifying Party withdraws from or fails to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the indemnified Party for such liability. If the indemnifying Party does not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the indemnifying Party fails to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the indemnifying Party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the indemnified Party (at the expense of the indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the indemnified Party. In the event the indemnified Party retains control of the Third-Party Claim, the indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     
  (e) If the indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.03(b) and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the indemnifying Party’s expense. The indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of such indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the indemnified Party (such as an increase in the indemnified Party’s income tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other Actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.

 

Section 9.04 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by this Article IX for costs, disbursements or expenses of any indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Action shall be made by periodic payments by the indemnifying Party to each indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

 

Section 9.05 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third-party reimbursement actually received.

 

Section 9.06 Time Limit. The obligations of the Seller and the Buyer under Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 shall expire two (2) years from the Closing Date, except with respect to (i) an indemnification claim asserted in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX which remains unresolved, for which the obligation to indemnify shall continue until such claim is resolved; (ii) resolved claims for which payment has not yet been paid to the indemnified Party; and (iii) claims pursuant to Section 11.01.

 

 13 

 

 

Section 9.07 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall be obligated to indemnify the other for any Losses hereunder until all such to-be-indemnified Party’s Losses exceed $10,000 (the “Basket”), and shall thereafter be obligated to indemnify the other Party up to a maximum amount of $350,000 (the “Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Basket and the Cap shall apply (i) as to all of the Buyer Indemnified Parties collectively, and the Seller shall not be obligated to satisfy the Basket, and shall not be subject to the Cap, with respect to each individual Buyer Indemnified Party; and (ii) as to all of the Seller Indemnified Parties collectively, and the Buyer shall not be obligated to satisfy the Basket, and shall not be subject to the Cap, with respect to each individual Seller Indemnified Party.

Section 10.01 Arbitration.

 

  (a) The Parties shall promptly submit any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including with respect to the meaning, effect, validity, termination, interpretation, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement) or any alleged breach thereof (including any action in tort, contract, equity, or otherwise), to binding arbitration before one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to be jointly selected by the Buyer and the Seller. Binding arbitration shall be the sole means of resolving any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including with respect to the meaning, effect, validity, termination, interpretation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement) or any alleged breach thereof (including any claim in tort, contract, equity, or otherwise).

  (e) On application to the Arbitrator, any Party shall have rights to discovery to the same extent as would be provided under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to any arbitration under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall limit any discovery or evidence such that his decision shall be rendered within the period referred to in Section 10.01(c).
     
  (f) The Arbitrator may, at his discretion and at the expense of the Party who will bear the cost of the arbitration, employ experts to assist him in his determinations.

The determination of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Parties and not subject to appeal.
     
  (h) Any judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties expressly consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts (Federal and state) in Palm Beach County, Florida to enforce any award of the Arbitrator or to render any provisional, temporary, or injunctive relief in connection with or in aid of the Arbitration. The Parties expressly consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to arbitrate any and all matters to be submitted to arbitration hereunder. None of the Parties hereto shall challenge any arbitration hereunder on the grounds that any party necessary to such arbitration (including the Parties) shall have been absent from such arbitration for any reason, including that such Party shall have been the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding.

 

Section 10.02 Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

  (a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

No Party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the all of the other Parties and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, and agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
