audits, surveys and the like) shall be promptly delivered to Seller upon Seller’s request. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser is under no obligation to provide any notice of termination, and if Purchaser does not provide Seller a Satisfaction Notice prior to expiration of the Contingency Date, then Purchaser is deemed to have terminated this Agreement, and will receive a full return of the Xxxxxxx Money.

8.              Property Condition.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is being given a full opportunity to completely inspect the Property, the operation thereof, and the financial information in connection therewith.  Therefore, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Seller is conveying and Purchaser is accepting the property in strictly “AS IS” condition with all faults and, except for the specific warranties and representations provided in this Agreement, Seller is not making any further warranties or representations, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.  Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser will be familiar with the Property and will have made such independent investigations as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate concerning the Property.  If Purchaser elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property, any objections which Purchaser may have with respect to the Property shall be waived by the Purchaser.  All warranties and representations contained in this Agreement shall survive the closing of this transaction for a period of twelve (12) months after closing.  No suit, cause of action, demand or other claim of any nature whatsoever shall be made under the foregoing warranties and representations unless the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s direct out-of-pocket losses (not including, by way of example only, any diminution in the value of the Property) resulting from the inaccuracy or breach of such warranty and representation exceeds, in the aggregate, FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00).

 

9.              Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows, now and on the Closing Date:

 

a.              Organization.  Purchaser is a limited partnership duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

c.               No Conflict.  Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any governmental restrictions to which Purchaser is subject; or (ii) constitute a violation of any applicable governmental code, resolution, law, statute, regulation, ordinance, judgment, rule, decree or order of which Purchaser has knowledge.

Seller shall pay all special assessments that have been levied as of the Effective Date and all pending special assessments that have been ordered by the City Council or other governmental assessing authorities as of the Effective Date. Real estate taxes attributable to the Property that are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (including any penalties or interest resulting by reason of any late payment by Seller) shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date (as defined below), ad valorem and personal property taxes, sewer rents and charges, and other state, county and municipal taxes, charges and assessments (special or otherwise) shall be prorated on the basis of the calendar year for which the same are levied, imposed or assessed, and regardless of when the same became a lien or are payable, on a per diem basis to the Closing Date. Real estate taxes due and payable in all prior calendar years to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid by Seller. Real estate taxes due and payable in all subsequent calendar years to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be the obligation of Purchaser. At Closing, Seller shall pay any deferred real estate taxes, the payment of which is required as a result of this transaction or recording of the Special Warranty Deed as set forth in Section 4(a)(1) above, and Purchaser shall pay any other deferred real estate taxes. If Closing shall occur before the actual real estate taxes due and payable in the calendar year in which Closing occurs are known, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of real estate taxes for the Property for the immediately preceding year.

 

h.              Other.  Purchaser shall pay the costs of its due diligence performed by Purchaser.

 

12.       Adjustments.  The following items shall be apportioned or prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. Central time, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”) and shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing.  If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final xxxx or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall agree upon a reconciliation of prorated expenses and revenue within 90 days of Closing (the “90-Day Income-Expense Allocation Worksheet”), which will be promptly paid or reimbursed by Seller or Purchaser, depending on which party owes the amount due.  Purchaser or Seller, as appropriate, will deliver simultaneously with such payment, any and all data, information or other backup it may have with respect to such payment and/or such proration so as to fully indicate to the other party the calculation of the amount of payment contained therewith.  The proration provisions of this Agreement shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby for a period of twelve (12) months.

 

16

 

a.              Charges for Telephone, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Utilities.  To the extent the consumption of utilities is measured by meter, Seller shall furnish a current reading of each meter at the Closing, which reading shall have been made no earlier than one (1) business day prior to Closing, and Seller shall pay or cause to be paid the charges therefor to such date.  The telephone service will be changed over as of the Closing Date by Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for charges incurred on the Closing Date and thereafter.  All deposits, if any, made by Seller as security under any contract or license, shall be returned to Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for replacing any required deposits.  Such prorations will be settled on the 90-Day Income-Expense Allocation Worksheet.

 

b.              Room Charges.  Room charges for the night commencing on the Apportionment Date and ending on the morning of the Closing Date shall be split equally between the Purchaser and the Seller and included on the Closing Statement.

 

c.               Prepaid Reservations.  Purchaser shall receive a credit for all prepaid rents and reservations, advance room deposits, or other such deposits assigned to Purchaser hereunder on the Closing Statement.

 

d.              Leases, Contracts, Permits and Licenses.  Charges under the Leases, Contracts, Permits and Licenses (if assumed by Purchaser) shall be prorated at the Closing with Seller paying all such charges through and including the Apportionment Date and any prepaid amounts being appropriately prorated.  Such prorations will be settled on the 90-Day Income-Expense Allocation Worksheet.

 

e.               Accounts Receivable and Guest Ledger.  Seller shall retain the full amount of all accounts receivable.  Purchaser shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to make collections of such receivables and to promptly deliver to Seller all collections received from and after Closing on any such pre-closing receivables and shall report the status thereof to Seller promptly upon request.  Seller shall have the right to audit the books of Purchaser to ensure compliance with this Section.  As to room charges and other income due from guests of the hotel in occupancy through the morning of the Closing Date (“Guest Ledger”), such Guest Ledgers shall be the property of the Purchaser and shall be credited to Seller except for the last night’s room revenues which shall be handled as provided in Section 12(b).  For the convenience of the parties and the guests, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the agreed-to amount of the Guest Ledger at the Closing as an adjustment on the Closing Statement and the right to collect the charges and income comprising the Guest Ledger shall be released to Purchaser.  Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Seller.  It is generally the intention of Purchaser and Seller that although all of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, still, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided.  Any amounts collected from parties who owe

 

17

 

amounts to both Purchaser and Seller relating to the operation of the Property shall be deemed amounts collected on Seller’s receivables and shall be promptly remitted to Seller until the receivable owing Seller from such party is paid in full.

 

f.                House Banks.  Subject to the proration provisions hereof and the credits due to Purchaser for items prepaid by customers and deposits as set out herein, cash, checks and other funds including till money and house banks held at the hotel as of the Apportionment Date (collectively, “House Banks”) shall be credited to Seller.  For the convenience of the parties, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the agreed-to amount of the House Banks at the Closing as an adjustment on the Closing Statement and possession of the cash, checks and other funds in the House Banks shall be released to Purchaser.

 

g.               Inventory.  As part of the Property and included in the Purchase Price are all inventories of food and beverage and unused reserve stock (including in-use operating supplies) of linens (no less than 2.5 par), towels, paper goods, soaps, cleaning supplies, china, glassware, silverware and miscellaneous guest supplies, engineering cleaning supplies and the like.

 

h.              Management.  Seller shall be responsible for paying any wages, vacation pay, sick leave, bonuses, pension, profit-sharing and welfare benefits and other compensation and fringe benefits of all persons employed at the Property by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager, which accrue to the period prior to the Closing Date, including any employment taxes or other fees or assessments attributable thereto.  At a mutually agreed upon time prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser will, through a joint announcement, announce the sale of the Hotel to the employees. Unless Purchaser and Manager have agreed for Manager to continue managing the Hotel after the Closing Date, at Closing Seller shall cause all employees of Manager or an affiliate of Manager working solely at the Hotel (but excluding employees working at the Hotel and one or more other hotels managed by Manager) to be terminated by Manager or an affiliate of the Manager (unless such employees desire to remain employed by Manager or an affiliate of Manager and work at another hotel managed by Manager) and Purchaser shall offer to hire such of the existing employees at the Hotel as Purchaser determines and as necessary to avoid notification requirements of, or violations related to, The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification or analogous provisions of applicable state laws (“WARN”) Act.  Purchaser and Seller agree to work together to minimize any exposure under the WARN Act.  Seller shall be solely responsible for the cost of any Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) or local insurance continuance requirements.

 

i.                  Benefit and Liability.  The purpose and intent of the provisions as to the prorations, adjustments and apportionments set forth above and elsewhere in this Agreement are that Seller shall bear all expenses of ownership and operation of the Property and shall receive all income therefrom accruing through the Apportionment Date, and Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive all

 

18

 

such income accruing thereafter.  Accordingly, Seller hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser as a result of (1) obligations of Seller not expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Purchaser hereunder, or (2) acts, omissions or occurrences which occur, accrue or arise prior to the Closing Date.  Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Seller as a result of (1) obligations of Purchaser arising either under this Purchase Agreement or from and after the Closing Date, and (2) acts, omissions or occurrences which occur, accrue or arise from and after the Closing Date.

 

j.                 Hotel Safe.  On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the delivery to Purchaser of all of the keys to the Hotel safe.  On the Closing Date, Seller shall give written notices to those persons who have deposited items in the safe, advising them of the sale of the Property to Purchaser and requesting the removal or verification of their contents in the safe.  All such removals or verifications on the Closing Date shall be under the supervision of Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective representatives.  All contents that are to remain in the safe shall be recorded.  Items belonging to guests who have not responded to such written notice by so removing and verifying their safe contents by the end of the Closing Date shall be recorded in the presence of the respective representatives.  Any such contents so verified and recorded and thereafter remaining in the hands of Purchaser shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any liability therefor.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any liability arising from claims by guests for any loss of contents in the safe that existed prior to Closing but which were not recorded on the Closing Date.

 

k.              Employees.  Purchaser shall not be required or obligated to hire any employees of Seller except as described in Section 12(h) above.

 

13.       Operation of the Property Pending Closing.  Prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees that:

 

a.              Insurance.  Seller or Seller’s agent shall keep or shall cause to be kept the Property insured against fire and other hazards covered by extended coverage endorsement and comprehensive public liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring in, on or about the Property, consistent with Seller’s prior practices.

 

b.              Operations.  Between the date hereof and the Closing, except as otherwise required or permitted under this Agreement, or as required by applicable law, ordinances, or regulation, or to the extent otherwise consented to by Purchaser, Seller shall continue to operate the Property in the usual, regular and ordinary course of its

 

19

 

business and consistent with the practices pursuant to which Seller now operates the Property and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve its business intact and preserve for Purchaser the relationship of Seller with its customers, suppliers and employees, including, without limitation, the making of maintenance and repairs to the Property so as to maintain each in operating and presentable condition, the maintenance of adequate quantities of inventories and supplies for the operation of the Property, consistent with current practice, and the payment of vendors in the ordinary course of business.

 

c.               Leases and Contracts.  From and after the Contingency Date, Seller shall enter or cause to be entered into only those third-party service and maintenance contracts that are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 13(b) above and which shall be cancelable upon no more than thirty (30) days’ written notice without penalty or premium, or are replacements or renewals of existing contracts or leases on more or less the same terms as provided in any prior contract; copies of which shall be promptly delivered to Purchaser.  Any other contracts and tenant leases entered into from and after the Contingency Date will require prior written approval by Purchaser, which approval Purchaser will not unreasonably delay, withhold or condition.

 

d.              Warranties and Guaranties.  Seller shall not release or modify any warranties and guaranties affecting the Property except with the prior written consent of Purchaser.

 

e.               Franchise Agreement.  Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, and not knowingly cause or permit a default under its existing franchise agreement (with or without the giving of any required notice and/or lapse of time).

14.       Destruction, Damage or Condemnation Prior to Closing.

 

a.              Risk of Loss.  Seller shall bear the risk of all loss, destruction or damage to the Property, or any portion thereof, from any and all causes whatsoever until and including the Apportionment Date (exclusive of items caused by Purchaser or its agents or assigns).

 

b.              Damage of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) or More.  If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur (i) damage to the Hotel caused by fire or other casualty (exclusive of items caused by Purchaser or its agents or assigns) which would cost Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) or more to repair or replace according to a written estimate reasonably acceptable to Seller, or (ii) the taking or proposed taking by condemnation of all or such portion of the Property as would, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, materially interfere with Purchaser’s use and enjoyment thereof, then, and in either of such events, Purchaser or Seller may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice given to the other

 

20

 

party within seven (7) days after Purchaser has received notice of such casualty or condemnation from Seller, in which event no party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder.  If neither party elects to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as herein provided without abatement of the Purchase Price (except for the amount of the deductible under the applicable casualty policy of insurance), and there shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing all interest in any insurance claims and proceeds including, without limitation, any business interruption insurance, or condemnation awards up to the full Purchase Price which may be payable to or available to Seller for any period after the Closing Date on account of any such fire, casualty, or condemnation.

 

c.               Damage under Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000).  If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur (i) damage to the Hotel caused by fire or other casualty (exclusive of items caused by Purchaser or its agents or assigns) which would cost less than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) to repair or replace, or (ii) the taking or proposed taking by condemnation of a portion of the Property which, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, is not material to the use or enjoyment thereof, then, and in either of such events, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, but Seller shall, at its election, either repair the damage or there shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing all interest in any insurance claims and proceeds, including, without limitation, any business interruption insurance, or condemnation awards up to the full Purchase Price which may be payable to Seller for any period after the Closing Date on account of any such fire, casualty or condemnation.  In addition, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the deductible of the applicable casualty insurance policy.

 

15.       Defaults and Remedies.

 

a.              Seller’s Default.  If (a) Seller fails to perform any of Seller’s obligations hereunder for any reason other than (i) the termination of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to any right to terminate expressly set forth in this Agreement or (ii) Purchaser’s failure to perform Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, or (b) any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth herein are determined to be materially inaccurate or untrue; then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and demand the return of its Xxxxxxx Money, or seek specific performance as its sole and exclusive remedies.

 

b.              Purchaser’s Default.  If Purchaser fails to perform any of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder then Seller may terminate this Agreement, receive the Xxxxxxx Money and have the option to xxx for actual damages.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

 

This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of            , 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Lodging Fund REIT III OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, with an address of 0000 00xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx 00000, or its assignee (“Buyer”), XXXXX LODGING INVESTORS II, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Seller”), and North Central Group, Inc., its manager and Xxxxx X. Xxxx, principal owner of the Seller (the “Interested Parties”).  The Seller and Interested Parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Restricted Parties.”

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

1.                                      The Buyer and Seller have entered into a Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of April    2019, (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the Hampton Inn & Suites hotel, located at 3000 Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Hotel”).

 

2.                                      The agreement of the Restricted Parties to deliver this Agreement was a material inducement to Buyer in entering into the Purchase Agreement, and the delivery of this Agreement by the Restricted Parties was a condition to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Hotel and to pay the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  Buyer seeks assurance that the Restricted Parties will refrain from competing with Buyer, as well as to protect the confidential information of the Hotel which the Buyer has purchased and to generally preserve the existing goodwill contemplated as part of the Purchase Price paid by Buyer under the Purchase Agreement.  The Restricted Parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of the confidential information, to protect the goodwill of the Hotel and to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of the Buyer, their affiliates and the Hotel.

 

3.                                      The Buyer, as the owner of the Hotel from and after the date of closing of the Purchase Agreement, desires to preclude the Restricted Parties from competing against it during the term of this Agreement in the geographic area specified in this Agreement.

 

A G R E E M E N T

 

In consideration of the foregoing and the payment of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement, and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

2.                                      COVENANTS AND CONSIDERATION

 

(a)                                 Non-Competition.  The Restricted Parties covenant and agree that, for a period of two (2) years beginning on the closing date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), neither the Restricted Parties, nor any entity controlled by the Restricted Parties (an “Affiliate”) will, without the prior written consent of the Buyer directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate,

 

 

join, control, or engage or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a shareholder, director, officer, agent, partner, joint venturer, lender, employee, consultant or advisor with, any business or organization any part of which engages in the business of hotel or motel ownership or management or is in competition with any of the business activities of the Hotel, within the Non-Competition Area.  The term “Non-Competition Area” in this Agreement means the area within a seven (7) mile radius of the Hotel.  This provision shall not apply to any business which was in operation prior to the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement.  Provided further, this provision shall not restrict the Interested Parties, individually or as owners or employees of an entity from managing or consulting regarding one or more hotel(s) or motel(s) under management agreement for owner(s) or lender(s) which either or both Interested Party(ies): (a) do business with prior to the Effective Date, (b) are part of a multi-property management relationship with owner(s); or a lender(s); or (c) is a property in receivership or foreclosure controlled by a lender

 

(b)                                 Confidential Information.  The Restricted Parties acknowledge and recognize that the Confidential Information (as defined below) constitutes valuable trade and business secrets belonging to the Buyer from and after the Closing Date.  On and after the Closing Date, the Restricted Parties will not use, and will not disclose to anybody, and will cause any and all of their respective Affiliates to refrain from disclosing to anybody, any Confidential Information except:  (a) where necessary to comply with any legal obligation, such as a court order or subpoena, provided the Restricted Parties shall first promptly notify the Buyer prior to any such disclosure and permit Buyer to intervene to block such disclosure; (b) where necessary, to the Restricted Parties’ attorneys and accountants, provided that they shall have first been apprised of the limitations of this Agreement and shall have agreed to be comply with and be bound by such limitations; or (c) where the Restricted Parties have obtained the express, prior written consent from the Buyer.  The term “Confidential Information” is defined as information of Seller specific to the Hotel, including but not limited to:  customer lists, contact information, needs, preferences and history of service; business operations and methods; training materials; marketing plans; customer relations information; service and operations forms; practices, procedures, policies and guidelines; supplier/vendor agreements and information; and all other information, lists, records and data relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of the Hotel, the disclosure of which may provide valuable benefits to any other person or entity or which would embarrass or damage the Hotel, Buyer or their affiliates, monetarily or otherwise.  The term “Confidential Information” is intended to be construed in its broadest possible meaning, and includes all such information in any and all forms, whether written or oral, on paper or stored electronically or in any other medium, and includes all originals, summaries, portions and copies of any and all such information, but specifically excludes any franchise information.  Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was widely known in the industry at the time of disclosure to the Restricted Party, (ii) becomes widely known or readily available other than by a breach of this Agreement, or (iii) belongs to North Central Management, Inc., and is utilized in other hotels owned, managed or operated by such parties.

 

(c)                                  Non-Solicitation. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, without the prior approval of Buyer, Seller will not actively recruit or induce a termination of service or employment of the Business’s property management team members hired or engaged on behalf of Buyer to work at the Hotel after the Closing Date.

 

 

(d)                                 Non-Disparagement.  For a two (2) year period commencing on the Closing Date, the Restricted Parties and Buyer shall not: (a) make any disparaging or defamatory statements about the other party, the Hotel or the other party’s affiliates, or (b) authorize, encourage or participate with anyone to make such statements.

 

3.                                      ENFORCEABILITY; REMEDIES

 

(a)                                 Reasonableness; Independent Covenants.  The Restricted Parties acknowledge that the restrictions set out in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of the Hotel’s and the Buyer’s confidential business information and to protect the goodwill and business relationships of the Hotel, and to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and the Hotel from and after the Closing Date.  The Restricted Parties further acknowledge that all of the restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity restricted.  The Restricted Parties agree that the covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as separate agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement between a Restricted Party and Buyer.

 

(b)                                 Remedies.  The Restricted Parties agree that if they or any of their Affiliates engage or threaten to engage in any activity that constitutes a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced to the extent permitted by law by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach of this Agreement would cause immediate irreparable injury to Buyer and/or the Hotel and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law for any breach.  Therefore, the Restricted Parties agree that Buyer, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief by temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction (without the requirement of posting a bond or other security), including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent the Restricted Parties’ failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 1 of this Agreement.  Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity, including the right to seek monetary damages.   The applicable two (2) year period of the covenants contained in Section 1 above shall be extended on a day for day basis for each day during which a Restricted Party is in violation of the covenant, so that each Restricted Party is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by the covenant for the full two (2) year time period. The Restricted Parties agree that the existence of any claim or cause of action by a Restricted Party against Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Reformation.  It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions of the Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be void, illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction, then such term or provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified by such court so that it is enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.  The language used in this Agreement

 

 

shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce one or more of the covenants set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement because the duration is too long or the scope is too broad, it is expressly agreed between the parties that the court making such determination shall be empowered to reduce the duration and scope of the covenants set forth in Section 1 to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants.

 

4.                                      MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a)                                 Notices.  All written notices and demands of any kind which either party may be required or may desire to serve upon the other party in connection with this Agreement may be served (as an alternative to personal service) by electronic mail, registered or certified mail, or overnight courier.  Any such notice or demand so served by registered or certified mail shall be deposited in the United States Mail with postage thereon fully prepaid and addressed to the party to be served at the addresses set forth below.  Service of any such notice or demand so made by mail shall be deemed complete three (3) days after the day of mailing; and serving of notice by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed served upon receipt of evidence of successful transmission, and return confirmation of receipt from intended recipient within one (1) business day.  Further, any such notice may be made by Federal Express (or other reputable overnight courier service), which shall be effective one (1) business day after delivery to such overnight courier, at the addresses indicated below.
