Seller will not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of Seller from maintaining the same business relationships with Purchaser after the Closing as such party maintained with Seller prior to the Closing. Seller will refer all customer inquiries relating to the Business to Purchaser from and after Closing.

6.5 Employees. Purchaser may need to contract with various key personnel of Seller as of or after the Closing. Seller shall take all actions reasonably required by Purchaser to assist in this process including, without limitation, providing Purchaser access to all Seller's organizational charts, personnel records and payroll records and by allowing and encouraging Seller's employees to meet with Purchaser's representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to any of Seller's employees. Seller shall be solely responsible for the termination and any related costs of all Seller's employees who are terminated or whose employment is otherwise adversely affected by Seller's execution and performance of this Agreement.

6.6 Non-Competition.

(a) As further consideration for the purchase and sale of the Assets and the other agreements and transactions contemplated by this Agreement, during the period commencing on the Closing Date, and ending on the date which is five (5) years thereafter (the "Restricted Period"), Seller shall not, in any Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in any business, activity, or enterprise competitive with or substantially similar to the Business, including, without limitation, in the manufacture, production, design, engineering, importation, purchase, marketing, sale, distribution, research or development of any dental products, or engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, solicit business related to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, lend its name or any similar name, or lend its credit to, or render services or advice to, any Person engaged in any business, activity or enterprise competitive with the Business including, without limitation, in the manufacture, production, design, engineering, importation, purchase, marketing, sale, distribution, research or development of any dental products;

(ii) on behalf of itself or any other Person, recruit or solicit any person who has been an employee, representative, consultant or agent of Purchaser or former employee of Seller hired by Purchaser, to terminate his or her employment with Purchaser;

(iii) solicit, call upon, or attempt to communicate with any customer, former customer, or prospective customer of Purchaser or Seller for the purposes of manufacture, production, design, engineering, importation, purchase, marketing, sale, distribution, research or development of any dental products; provided, however, that Seller may solicit, call upon, or attempt to communicate with any customer, former customer, or prospective customer of Purchaser or Seller pursuant to specific written instructions from Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, "contact" means interaction between Seller or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents directly or indirectly, and the customer, former customer or prospective customer which takes place to further the business relationship, or performing of services, on behalf of Seller.

(b) Seller shall be deemed to be competing with Purchaser in violation of Section 6.6(a) if Seller, or any Affiliate of Seller (except the directors of Seller currently members of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx), is engaged or participates in any activity or activities described in Section 6.6(a), directly or indirectly, whether for its own account or for that of any other Person, and whether as a shareholder, partner or investor controlling any such entity or as principal, agent, representative, proprietor or partner, or in any other capacity; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit purely passive investments in any business so long as the aggregate interest represented by such investments does not exceed one percent (1%) of any class of the outstanding debt or equity securities of said business.

(c) Because a breach, or failure to comply with, this Section 6.6 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser for which there is no adequate remedy at law and the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, if Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, should in any way breach, or fail to comply with, the terms of this Section 6.6, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction restraining such Seller and/or it Affiliate(s), as applicable, from any such breach or failure without having to prove monetary damages. All remedies expressly provided for herein are cumulative of any and all other remedies now existing at law or in equity, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Purchaser shall, in addition to the remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail itself of all such other remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for compensation, and for the specific enforcement of the covenants contained herein without the necessity of proving actual damages. Resort to any remedy provided for hereunder or provided for by law shall not preclude or bar the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate remedy or remedies, or preclude the recovery by Purchaser of monetary damages and compensation, including, without limitation, its right to indemnification pursuant to Article VII.

(d) If any provision of this Section 6.6 shall finally be judicially determined to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, such determination shall apply only in the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made and every other provision of this Section 6.6 shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision shall, without further action by the parties, be automatically amended, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to effect the original purpose and intent of the invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision (and if such provision governs the duration of the Restricted Period or geographic scope of the Restricted Territory, such provision shall be amended to reduce such duration or scope, as applicable, as minimally as possible so that such provision is valid, effective and enforceable for the longest period of time and fullest geographic area as is adjudged permissible for such provision to be valid, effective and enforceable); provided, however, that such amendment shall apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(e) Seller acknowledges that the duration of the Restricted Period, the geographic scope of the Restricted Territory, and the scope of restricted activities described in Section 6.6(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser in view of the nature of the Business, the nature of the business in which Purchaser is engaged, and the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller understands that the foregoing restrictions will significantly limit or bar its ability to engage in business related to the Business, but nevertheless believes that it has received and will receive, directly or indirectly, sufficient consideration and other benefits pursuant to this Agreement and the other agreements relating to this Agreement to clearly justify such restrictions.

(f) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser's communication and negotiation with certain key equity-owning personnel of Seller with whom Purchaser desires to enter into non-compete agreements on similar terms as set forth in Sections 6.6(a)-(e) above.

6.7 FDA Regulatory Matters.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, Seller agrees to permit Purchaser, without further compensation or obligation to Seller, to sell products under Seller's United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 510(k) certification relating to anesthesia delivery products.

(b) Seller agrees to take such action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as Purchaser may reasonably request to assist Purchaser in securing its own FDA 510(k) certification regarding products related to the Business.

(c) Promptly upon the written request of Purchaser, Seller agrees to take such action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to terminate Seller's 510(k) certification. Seller shall not take any action to terminate Seller's 510(k) certification until requested in writing by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.7(c).

(d) Seller shall promptly forward to Purchaser any communications or inquiries received by Seller from or regarding (i) the United States Food and Drug Administration, (ii) comparable state or foreign agencies, or (iii) similar regulatory matters, which relate to or are connected with the Business. In the event such communications or inquiries are received verbally, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser an accurate description of such communications or inquiries, along with contact information for the source of such communications or inquiries.

(a) Any and all Losses and Liabilities resulting from any misrepresentation made or breach of warranty given or covenant made by Purchaser in this Agreement; and

(b) Any and all Losses and Liabilities incurred by, arising out of, or relating in any way to matters pertaining to the conduct of the business of Purchaser which may arise because or as a result of any fact, event or transaction occurring after the Closing Date, except for claims which are subject to Seller's indemnification obligations under Section 7.2.

7.4 Right of Offset. In addition to any other remedies which Purchaser may have against Seller at law, in equity or pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser may, at its option, offset against the payment of (i) any Installment Payments and/or (ii) any royalty payment under the Royalty Agreement, any and all amounts with respect to which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.1, 7.2 or 7.6, regardless of when the claim for indemnification shall be deemed to arise. Purchaser shall exercise its right of offset by notifying Seller that Purchaser is reducing an Installment Payment or royalty payment anytime prior to the due date for such Installment Payment or royalty payment.

7.5 Notice. If a party shall claim any right of indemnity under Sections 7.2 or 7.3, the party shall give the other party a written notice of such claim, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim and the amount of liability asserted by reason thereof.

7.6 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party shall notify either party to this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party to this Agreement (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Article VII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.6(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any of the conditions in Section 7.6(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses and Liabilities the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII.

7.7 Amount of Damages. Each party agrees that the amount of any Liabilities or Losses claimed by it under the indemnity provided in this Article VII shall be a net amount after adjustment for any benefit to such party from insurance receipts from third parties or offsetting tax advantages.

7.8 Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Orange County, California. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator, who shall be an active California State Bar member in good standing. In addition to all other powers, the arbitrator shall have the right to determine all issues of arbitrability and shall have the authority to issue subpoenas. The parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery in connection with any claims that are arbitrated under this Section. All discovery shall be completed within ninety (90) calendar days after the request for arbitration is filed with the appropriate authorities and the first hearing date shall be set for no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the completion of discovery. The arbitrator may extend such period for any reason, including without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. Depositions may be taken by either party upon seven calendar days written notice, and requests for production or inspection of documents shall be responded to within 10 calendar days after service. All disputes relating to discovery that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the arbitrator, whose decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to any award of its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. Any party shall be entitled to file an action in Orange County Superior Court, which shall have jurisdiction over the parties of this Agreement, to compel or aid in the arbitration, or for injunctive relief. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of appropriate jurisdiction.

7.9 Waiver of Bulk Sales Law Compliance. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller will not comply with the provisions of any bulk sales laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless, in accordance with this Article VII, from and against any and all Liabilities or Losses which Purchaser may incur as a result of any failure to comply with any applicable bulk sales laws in connection with this Agreement.

7.10 Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the total liability of Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless pursuant to this Article VII shall be limited to $650,000 in the aggregate.
