7.8 Exclusivity. Property Management Seller acknowledges that Property Management Buyer has devoted and will devote substantial time and has incurred and will incur out of pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with conducting business, financial, and legal due diligence investigations of Property Management Seller and the Business, drafting and negotiating this Agreement and all related agreements and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In the event that Property Management Seller violates any provision of this Agreement, Property Management Buyer shall have such remedies as are set forth herein. To induce Property Management Buyer to take the actions contemplated under this Agreement, the Restaurant Asset Buyer under the Restaurant Asset Agreement and the Real Property Buyer under the Real Property Contract to incur such expenses, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Property Management Seller will not directly or indirectly: (a) enter into any written or oral agreement or understanding with any person or entity (other than Property Management Buyer) regarding a sale (directly or indirectly including by way of merger or consolidation) of all or any part of the Business or the Acquired Assets or the use of the Location; or (b) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposals or offer from any person or entity (other than Property Management Buyer) regarding the possibility of any such sale or such use or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

7.10. Further Actions. From the date hereof to the Closing or termination of this Agreement, the Property Management Seller will provide prompt notice to Property Management Buyer of any fact, condition, event or occurrence that will or is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement to be satisfied or the breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein.
7.11 Approval of Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Property Management Seller agrees that it will permit a health inspection of the Property by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants and any other inspections required prior to Closing, upon request of the Property Management Buyer.
8. Indemnification. The Property Management Seller agrees to and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Property Management Buyer and its managers, members, employees, agents, representatives (collectively, the “Property Management Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, lawsuits, proceedings, judgments, deficiencies, costs, expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and governmental actions of every kind, nature or description (collectively, “Losses”) which arise out of or relate to any of the following: (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Property Management Seller in the Acquisition Agreements; (b) any failure by the Property Management Seller to perform, comply with or observe any one of more of its covenants, agreement or obligations contained in the Acquisition Agreements; and (c) any transferee liability for which the Property Management Buyer Indemnified Parties become liable on account of any obligation of Property Management Seller, including, but not limited to, any tax liability that the Property Management Buyer assumes by law. If there is any indemnification claim hereunder, Property Management Buyer shall promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the Property Management Seller. The Property Management Seller shall defend such claim at their sole cost and expense with legal counsel selected by the Property Management Seller (provided that Property Management Buyer shall have the right to approve such counsel, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Property Management Buyer and its counsel shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim at the Property Management Buyer’s sole cost and expense. If notice is given and the Property Management Seller fails to promptly assume or assert the defense of the claim in good faith, the claim may be defended, comprised or settled by the Property Management Buyer without the Property Management Seller’s consent and the Property Management Seller shall remain liable under this Section 8. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary: (a) the Property Management Buyer may retain control over the defense (at the cost of the Property Management Seller) of any claim hereunder if such claim is for injunctive or other equitable relief; and/or (b) if in the reasonable opinion of the Property Management Buyer there may be a conflict between the positions of the Property Management Buyer and Property Management Seller in conducting the defense of an action or that there may be legal defenses available to Property Management Buyer different from or in addition to those which counsel for the Property Management Seller would be able to raise, the Property Management Buyer shall be entitled to maintain its own independent defense of such action and the reasonable fees and expenses of
| 14 |
the Property Management Buyer’s counsel shall be paid by the Property Management Seller. Property Management Seller cannot settle a matter other than for dollar damages without the consent of Property Management Buyer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any and all costs and expenses resulting from Property Management Seller’s indemnity obligations contained in this Paragraph 8, if the responsibility of Property Management Seller, shall be paid out of the “Escrow Cash”, it being understood and agreed that Property Management Seller’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreements shall not exceed any and all monies in the Escrow Cash.
9. Post-Closing Covenants. In addition to other obligations contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall perform their respective obligations under the following covenants after the Closing:
9.1. Taxes. Property Management Seller shall pay any and all sales, use, transfer or other taxes due or owing in connection with the transfer and conveyance of the Assets hereunder, and Property Management Buyer shall have no liability therefor.
·
9.2. Property Management Seller’s Employees. Property Management Seller acknowledges that on or after the Closing Date, Property Management Buyer may hire one or more persons previously employed by Property Management Seller, that any such persons shall be treated as new hires by Property Management Buyer and that Property Management Buyer’s employment of such persons shall in no way limit Property Management Seller’s obligations to pay any amounts or provide any benefits to such persons in connection with their employment by Property Management Seller or the termination thereof. Nothing herein shall obligate Property Management Buyer to employ such employees or to employ them for any specific time period or to provide them with any specific benefits or pay rate.
9.3. Restrictive Covenants. The Property Management Seller acknowledges and agrees that Property Management Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement to purchase the Acquired Assets but for the following restrictive covenants, that the provisions of this Section 9.3 are supported by good and sufficient consideration, that the Property Management Seller (including, but not limited to, officers, shareholders (and their spouses, if any), employees and agents thereof) possesses information and expertise relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets that will enable them to injure Property Management Buyer and diminish the value of the investment by Property Management Buyer in the Business and the Acquired Assets if the Property Management Seller should engage in any business that is competitive with the Business conducted by Property Management Buyer. The Property Management Seller hereby represents and warrants that the Property Management Seller (including, but not limited to the officers and shareholders thereof, and their spouses) do not own a management company that operates within the restricted area (hereinafter defined) and they covenant hereby covenants and agrees to deliver to Property Management Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements, in a form acceptable to Property Management Buyer, executed by the Shareholders of Property Management Seller. This separate non-competition agreement shall provide (a) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”) Key Personnel shall not: within twenty-five (25) miles of the Location, directly or as an owner, officer, employee, agent, or otherwise, operate a management company either with the name “Island Beach Resort” or any similar name and/or design, or style of service similar that of the Business; (b) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date directly or indirectly, as an owner, officer,
| 15 |
employee, agent, or otherwise solicit for employment or employ any employees of the Business. If any provision of this Section 9.3 or Section 7. 1 is violated, in whole or in part, Property Management Buyer shall be entitled in addition to damages upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, to restrain and enjoin such violation without prejudice as to any other remedies Property Management Buyer may have at law or in equity and Property Management Seller hereby consents to the issuance thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Property Management Seller agrees that the restrictions in this Section 9.3 or Section 7.1 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Property Management Buyer’s business and goodwill and that Property Management Buyer will suffer irreparable injury, for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate, if Property Management Seller engages in the prohibited conduct. If Property Management Buyer seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, Property Management Buyer shall not be required to post any bond with respect thereto, or, if a bond is required, it may be posted without surety thereon and Property Management Seller waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. If any provision of this Section 9.3 is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or unreasonable, as to time, geographic area or business limitation, the parties agree that such provisions shall be and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic area or business limitation permitted by applicable law and the court in each case shall reduce the necessary terms to a permissible duration, burden or scope. The parties further agree that, in such event, the remaining restrictions contained herein shall be severable and shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable independently of each other. Upon any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 9.3 whether or not there is litigation, the restrictions as to duration contained therein shall be deemed automatically extended for a period at least equal to the total period of such breach or breaches.
10. Consultation. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) agrees to provide Property Management Buyer, at no cost to Property Management Buyer, with consulting services relating to the operation of the Business for two (2) weeks prior to Closing on a reasonable basis (i.e., 20 hours per week) and for two (2) weeks after Closing provided, however, Xxxxxxx shall provide, prior to Closing, a schedule of his availability so that such consulting services shall be subject to Anthony’s schedule. Thereafter, for the following ninety (90) days, Xxxxxxx shall be reasonably available during regular business hours, as needed, but no more than ten (10) hours total per week. Such assistance may be by telephone or in person at the discretion of the Property Management Buyer.
