Advertising. |
Neither Seller nor Buyer may issue a press release or other public announcement relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements without the prior written consent of the other (such consent may not be withheld, conditioned, or delayed without cause), provided, however, that either Party may, without such consent, provide the information required by Law or by any Governmental Authority and, in the event that such disclosure is necessary, the Party making such disclosure shall, if permitted by Law and reasonably practicable, give prior notice to the other Party, enclosing a copy of the information provided, and consider in good faith any changes or additions suggested by the other Party. If it is not possible to send such a notification, the respective Party shall send such notification immediately after providing the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent Seller or its Affiliates from providing information relating to the transactions contemplated herein or the Related Agreements to a competent Government Authority or provided to Buyer prior to this date without notice to any person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 10.9 shall limit Track Group's ability to operate its business after the Closing.
10.10 |
Expense. |
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs, expenses or charges incurred by the Parties, including any legal or financial advice fees, brokerage fees, commissions or agent fees, shall be borne by the Party incurring thereof.
10.11 |
Specific Compliance. |
The Parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that immediate, substantial and irreparable harm will be caused, for which there would be no sufficient remedy at law and the damage would be difficult to complete, should any provision of this Agreement be violated or not performed in accordance with its specific terms. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Buyer or Seller, and without limiting such remedies, the Injured Party under this Agreement would be entitled to demand specific performance of the terms of this Agreement without having to prove the insufficiency of monetary damages as a remedy.
