Subsequent to the Closing Date, in the event the Buyer is required by any Governmental Authority to make any regulatory filings and/or disclosures, which may include but is not limited to the preparation and filing of audited statement of revenue and direct expenses of the Seller as they relate to the Acquired Assets for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 (an “Audit”), the Seller will use its best efforts to cooperate and make available to the Buyer and any independent auditing firm, as applicable, such books and records of the Seller as are requested in order for the Buyer to comply with its regulatory obligations, including an Audit, on a timely basis. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure of the Seller to use its best efforts to cooperate and make such books and records available as set forth above shall be a material breach of this Agreement. In the event an Audit is required, the independent auditing firm to perform the Audit will be selected by the Buyer. The Buyer will be responsible for costs and expenses, including professional fees, relating to an Audit up to $30,000.00 (regardless of whether such costs and expenses are incurred prior or subsequent to the Closing). The Seller will be responsible for costs and expenses, including professional fees, relating to an Audit which are in excess of $30,000.00 (regardless of whether such costs and expenses are incurred prior or subsequent to the Closing). For the purposes of clarity, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to the preparation of any statement of revenue and direct expenses necessary for an Audit (regardless of whether such costs and expenses are incurred prior or subsequent to the Closing); provided, however, the Buyer shall solely be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to the preparation and Audit of any statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which might be required as part of the regulatory requirements relating to this transaction.

(c) Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Business, the other Party will cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under §8 below).

(d) Transition. The 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 the Business from maintaining the same business relationships with the Buyer after the Closing as it maintained with the Business prior to the Closing. The Seller will refer all customer inquiries relating to the Business to the Buyer from and after the Closing.

(e) Confidentiality. The Seller will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement or for historical accounting, regulatory and/or tax support. In the event that the Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Seller will notify the Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this §6(e). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain, at the request of the Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall designate.

(f) Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of five years from and after the Closing Date, the Seller will not engage directly or indirectly in any business that the Business conducts as of the Closing Date in the United States; provided, however, (i) the Sellers activity set forth in the Reseller Agreement shall specifically not be a violation of this §6(f) and (ii) that no owner of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation shall not be a violation of this §6(f) solely by reason thereof. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this §6(f) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

The limitations of this provision shall not apply to any claim for fraud or willful misconduct.

(i) the Buyer and the Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Party notice in the manner herein set forth.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(i) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Seller. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(j) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

(k) Expenses. Except for as specifically set forth in §6(b), each of the Buyer and the Seller will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid one half by Seller and one half by Buyer when due, and the Seller will, at an expense shared one half by Seller and one half by Buyer, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, the Parties will, and will cause their affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(l) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(m) Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(n) Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in §10(o) below), in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

(p) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process (i) to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in §9(h) above. Nothing in this §9(p), however, shall affect the right of any Party to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.
