7.4 Proration of Expenses and Other Charges of the Business. On the Closing Date, all charges of the Business will be apportioned so that all charges attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller and such part of the relevant charges attributable to the period after the Closing Date shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer will be responsible for all bills for all Customer Contracts completed on and after the Closing Date and will remit Seller’s portion to Seller. All revenues, royalties and similar sums receivable in respect of the Business shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller on like terms.

 

7.5 Filing of Taxes; Payment. Seller shall for all periods through the Closing Date (a) prepare and timely file (including extensions) all Tax Returns that it is required to file under all applicable laws; (b) timely pay all Taxes it is required to pay; (c) withhold and timely pay over to the applicable authorities all Taxes that it is required to withhold and pay over; and (d) pay all Taxes on any sales and the income and gain, if any, that it realizes on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

 

7.6 Non-Competition Agreement.

 

(a) Following the Closing Date, Seller and Seller’s Representative shall not, nor allow any of their Affiliates to, engage, directly or indirectly, anywhere within the United States, in the sale of products or services that are directly competitive with the products or services offered by the Business as of the Closing Date.

 

(b) The terms of the prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.6 shall expire on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of this Agreement or the date that Buyer permanently ceases to engage in the Business, excluding products identified in Schedule 3.15.

 

(c) Seller and Seller’s Representative acknowledge that a violation of the prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.6 may cause Buyer irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller and Seller’s Representative therefore agree that, in the event of any actual or threatened violation of the prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.6, Buyer, in addition to any other remedies it may have, shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief  against the offending  party. Further, it is agreed that the running of such five-year time period shall be tolled during the time of any dispute between the parties as to enforcement of any prohibition set forth in this Section 7.6. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce the prohibitions set forth herein, if any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 7.6 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

 

7.7 Operation of the Business by the Buyer. Certain consideration may become payable to the Seller under Section 2 of this Agreement based on the performance of the Business subsequent to the Closing Date. Buyer agrees that during the two-year period following the Closing Date, Buyer will exercise its best reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business and not to engage in activities or take action that are detrimental to the success or prospects of the Business. Buyer further agrees to provide the Seller with reasonable access to the books and records of the Buyer and Business for the purpose of Seller’s evaluation of post-Closing operation of the Business by Buyer. Prior to the Closing Date,  Buyer will provide Seller’s Representative with a business plan describing Buyer’s intended commercial activities in support of Product sales and strategic objectives including projected Product sales by calendar quarter for the next two years, and a description of target markets and target customers (the “Business Plan”). Buyer will thereafter submit to the Seller’s Representative a written quarterly report of such sales activities. The point of contact for Seller’s Representative in this respect will be Robert Taggart or his designee.

12.6 Failure by Seller to Defend.

13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

13.1 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only by a written instrument signed by all of the parties to this Agreement.

The failure of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or option contained in this Agreement or to require at any time performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or any of its provisions or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement. No course of dealing shall operate as a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies.

 

13.2 Agreement Non-Assignable; Binding Effect. No party shall assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without obtaining the prior consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, all of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

 

13.3 Construction and Interpretation of Agreement.

 

(a) Section titles or captions in this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement in construing or interpreting any of its provisions.

Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties intend that the court add to this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be valid and enforceable, so as to effect the original intent of the parties to the greatest extent possible.
