ARTICLE

COVENANTS
9.01 Covenants
of the Seller.
(a) Notification.
The
Seller shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser of: (i) any notice or other
communication received by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, relating to
a
default or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a
default under this Agreement or become a material default under any other
material contract, agreement, license or instrument related to the Business
to
which the Seller is a party, by which it or any of the Assets are bound or
to
which it or any of the Assets are subject; (ii) any event which, with notice
or
lapse of time or both, would cause any warranty, representation, or covenant
of
the Seller under this Agreement to be inaccurate, untrue, incomplete, misleading
or violated in any respect; (iii) any notice or other communication from any
third party alleging that the consent of such third party was, is or may be
required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
and
(iv) any material adverse change in the Business or the Assets, or the
operations, earnings, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Seller.
16
(b) Conduct
of Business; Certain Covenants.
Prior to
and through the Closing Date, the Seller shall conduct and operate the Business
and will not, without prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, take any action other than in accordance
with the ordinary and usual course of business. The Seller will use commercially
reasonable efforts to preserve intact the Business, the Assets and the
operation, organization and relationships with their employees, independent
contractors, agents, suppliers, customers, regulators, licensing authorities
and
others having business dealings with it.
(c) Access
to Contracts and Information.
Prior
to
the Closing Date, the Seller shall make available to the Purchaser any and
all,
licenses, permits, agreements, contracts, documents, certificates and other
instruments material to the Business or any of the Assets, including without
limitation, those to which the Seller is a party and those by which the Business
or any of the Assets are bound and including without limitation, any and all
materials relating to the intellectual property referred to in Section 1.01(a),
(b), and (k), the Assigned Contracts, the Permits, the insurance materials
referred to in Section 1.01(l), the Accounts Receivable, the leases referred
to
in Section 1.01(f), the agreements referred to in Section 1.01(p), the security
and other deposits referred to in Section 1.01(q), to the extent permitted
by
law, but excluding the personal information of customers of the Business
contained in the Sherlock database.
(d) Non-Solicitation.
During
the period commencing on the Closing Date and for one (1) year thereafter (the
“Non-Solicitation Period”): The
Seller agrees it will not and agrees that IceWeb, Inc. will not induce any
employee or independent contractor of the Purchaser to leave the Purchaser’s
employ or service or hire any such employee or independent contractor (unless
the board of directors of the Purchaser shall have authorized such employment
and the Purchaser shall have consented thereto in writing). Also, during the
Non-Solicitation Period, Seller and its affiliates shall not solicit, directly
or indirectly, any of the customers of the Business being acquired pursuant
to
this Agreement in connection with the provision of ISP services or any similar
or related services.
(e) Confidential
Information.
The
parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Purchaser is to preserve
its
specialized knowledge, trade secrets, customer lists and confidential
information concerning the industry in which it operates. The strength and
goodwill of the Purchaser is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade
secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the
activities undertaken by the Purchaser and its subsidiaries. The disclosure
of
this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and
detrimental to the Purchaser, as would the disclosure of information about
the
products, methods, marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit
margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information,
client contracts, inventory sources, customer information, employee information,
and other similar items of the Purchaser and its subsidiaries. The Seller has
or
will have access to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge,
trade secrets and confidential information about the Business and the
Purchaser’s operations and the operations of its subsidiaries, affiliates,
and/or divisions. The term "confidential" or "proprietary information" shall
not
include information which is i) already known from sources not subject to any
confidential obligations; ii) is or becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of a disclosure by the Purchaser; or iii) required to
be
disclosed by law, regulatory or judicial process. Therefore, the Seller hereby
agrees as follows, recognizing that the Purchaser is relying on these agreements
in entering into this Agreement:
17
During
the Non-Solicitation Period, the Seller will keep secret and retain in strict
confidence, and will not use, disclose to others, or publish any inventions
or
any confidential business information about the affairs of the Purchaser or
the
Business, including but not limited to confidential information concerning
the
Purchaser’s products, methods, marketing practices, pricing practices, costs,
profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical
information, client contracts, inventory sources, customer information, employee
information, and other similar items of confidential information;
(f) Referrals.
Commencing on the Closing Date and thereafter, the Seller agrees and will cause
Iceweb, Inc. to agree that they shall refer all customer inquiries relating
to
the Business to the Purchaser as soon as possible after receiving such
inquiries.
(g) Covenant
Regarding Sales.
The
Seller covenants that Schedule 9.01(g) setting forth the revenues of the
Division during the six month period ending immediately prior to the Effective
Date (the “Revenue Reference Period”) is an accurate schedule of revenues
received by the Division during this period of time. In the event that, within
six (6) months following Closing, the Purchaser determines that the gross
revenues of the Business as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles are less than the amount disclosed in Schedule 9.01(g),
Purchaser shall furnish a copy of a schedule to Seller setting forth the actual
amount of revenues of the Business during the Revenue Reference Period and
Seller agrees that it shall reduce the Purchase Price by a an amount (the
“Purchase Price Adjustment”) equal to the percentage amount of the revenue
shortfall for such period (the “Revenue Shortfall Percentage”) multiplied by the
Purchaser Price; provided that a Purchase Price Reduction payment shall only
be
required to be made the Seller in the event the Revenue Shortfall Percentage
exceeds 5%. By way of example, if the Revenue Shortfall Percentage is 20%,
then
the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment to be paid to the Purchaser by
the
Seller shall equal $150,000 X 20%, or $30,000. Within 15 days of the date of
Seller’s receipt of the schedule of actual revenues for the Revenue Reference
Period from the Purchaser, the Seller shall promptly remit to the Purchaser
the
amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment. The payment of such Purchase Price
Adjustment by Seller to Purchaser shall be payable without regard to, and shall
not count toward, the Seller’s Indemnification Cap.
