Asset Buyer understands and agrees that regardless of the date of the Inventory description delivered to it prior to Closing, that portions of said Inventory will be used in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices by Asset Seller in the continued operation of the Business through and including the Closing. Immediately after the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Asset Seller and Asset Buyer shall conduct a physical count of the entire inventory (the “Inventory”).

If any provision of this Section 9.4 or Section 7.1 is violated, in whole or in part, Asset 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 Asset Buyer may have at law or in equity and Asset Seller hereby consents to the issuance thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Asset Seller agrees that the restrictions in this Section 9.4 or Section 7.1 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Asset Buyer’s business and goodwill and that Asset Buyer will suffer irreparable injury,

Original Oyster House II

for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate, if Asset Seller engages in the prohibited conduct. If Asset Buyer seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, Asset 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 Asset Seller waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. If any provision of this Section 9.4 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 9.4 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. The non-compete shall be conditioned upon Asset Buyer not being in breach of its post-closing obligations, including the return to Asset Seller of any remaining cash under the Escrow Cash provisions of this Agreement.

10. Consultation. Xxx and Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx agrees to provide Asset Buyer, at no cost to Asset Buyer, with consulting services relating to the operation of the Business on a full time basis for two (2) weeks prior to Closing and for two (2) weeks after Closing. Thereafter, for the following ninety (90) days, they shall be 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 Asset Buyer. During the Due Diligence Period, Asset Buyer or, if approved by Asset Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed, Asset Buyer may send his designated agent, and shall be permitted to visit the Business to observe the operation of the Business.

Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (A) current city, state and county ad valorem taxes not yet due and payable; (B) easements for the in¬stallation or maintenance of public utili¬ties serving only the Property; and (C) any other matters specified on Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

(b) No later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Date, Real Property Buyer may give Seller written notice of any exceptions to title which render Real Property Seller’s title less than good, market¬able and insurable fee simple title. Thereafter, Real Property Buyer shall have until the Closing Date in which to re¬examine title to the Property and in which to give Real Property Seller written notice of any objections to any additional exceptions to title which may be disclosed by such reexamination. Real Property Seller shall have five (5) days after receipt of Real Property Buyer’s notice of objections to notify Real Property Buyer in writing whether Real Property Seller will satisfy any of Real Property Buyer’s objections to title; provided, however, Real Property Seller shall be required to satisfy any monetary liens (each a “Monetary Lien”) on the Property.

Advisor agrees that Advisor has no other rights with respect to the payment of a fee in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property, except as specifically set forth in this paragraph 17 and the separate agreement with Seller and Advisor waives any statutory rights in regard to any fee or commission due it arising out of this Agreement. Real Property Seller, Real Property Buyer and Advisor shall and do each hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the others from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any manner arising out of, by reason of or in connection with the claims, demands, actions and judgments of any and all advisors, brokers, agents and other intermediaries alleging a commission, fee or other payment to be owing by reason of a breach of such party of its representation set forth above.

full extent contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated by and provided for in this Agreement.

In the event of such exchange, Real Property Seller shall indemnify and hold Real Property Buyer harmless from any and all liabilities, losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Real Property Buyer arising from such exchange or the request to extend the Closing Date, which liabilities, losses and expenses would not have been incurred if there had not been a exchange of properties.

Agreements; and (c) all debts, costs, invoices, liabilities and expenses, except for the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Acquisition Agreements), if incurred prior to Closing; and

WHEREAS, in order to assure the Buyer of available funds after the Closing should Sellers’ representations and warranties prove to be false to the financial detriment of the Buyers, Sellers have agreed to escrow the total sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) from the Closing Proceeds (as said term is defined in the Acquisition Agreements) arising from the sale of the various assets contemplated under the Acquisition Agreements for a period of one (1) year after the Closing (“Indemnification Period”) to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Buyers have agreed to close the purchase of the assets of the Restaurant Asset Sellers provided Sellers agree to escrow a portion of the closing proceeds in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.

I. Escrow

A. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Acquisition Agreements unless otherwise defined herein.

B. Escrow Agent shall hold the total sum of $750,000.00 (hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Fund”), out of the Closing Proceeds which would otherwise be due and payable to Seller arising from the sale of the various assets contemplated under the Acquisition Agreements, which total sum shall be disbursed to the Escrow Agent from the Closing Proceeds from each sale in such manner as the Seller shall determine.

C. The Seller agrees to and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer under the Acquisition Agreements and its managers, members, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Asset Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, actions, lawsuits, demands, 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 Seller in the Acquisition Agreements; (b) any failure by the Seller to perform, comply with or observe any one of more of its covenants, agreement or obligations contained in the Acquisition Agreements and (c) all debts, costs, invoices, liabilities and expenses, except for the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Acquisition Agreements), if incurred prior to Closing. If there is any indemnification claim hereunder, Buyer shall promptly cause written notice of the claim to be delivered to the Seller and Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) business days of its receipt of Buyer’s written notice whether it will pay, bond or diligently defend such claim at their sole cost and expense with legal counsel selected by Seller or, if it objects to the claim as not being covered under the indemnification clauses contained in the Acquisition Agreements, then in that event Seller shall, within five (5) business days of its receipt of such written notice from Buyer advise Buyer and Escrow Agent that it disputes the claim. If the Parties cannot agree if the claim is an indemnified claim, the Parties agree that within twenty (20) days of Seller’s denial of the claim to submit the issue to binding arbitration. In the event the claim is such that its failure to be immediately resolved is detrimental to the Buyer’s ongoing Businesses then, in that event, Buyer may, bond, settle or compromise the claim out of the Escrow Fund subject to a final determination by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding a possible dispute between the Parties as aforesaid, in the event Seller is not diligently pursuing the payment, settlement or defense of the claim to the detriment of the Buyer, the Buyer and its counsel shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim and/or compromise or settle the claim and all such expense shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund. Similarly, if notice is given and the Seller fails to promptly (for purposes herein, “promptly” shall be deemed to be within 20 calendar days of the service of any notice upon Buyer or Seller) assume or assert the defense of the claim in good faith, the claim may be defended, comprised or settled by Buyer without the Seller’s consent and any expense incurred in defending the claim or any compromise or settlement made shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund up to the amount of the Escrow Fund then in the possession of the Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed that the Seller’s obligations under the Escrow Agreement as to any expenses, costs or otherwise and in connection with any indemnification claim shall be limited to the amount of the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1 (C) to the contrary: (a) the Buyer may retain control over the defense (at the cost of the Seller) of any claim hereunder if such claim is for injunctive or other equitable relief with the expense of such defense being paid out of the Escrow Fund. Seller cannot settle a matter other than for dollar damages without the consent of Buyer.

EXHIBIT ‘E’

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This Non-Competition Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective as of November ____, 2016, by and between ARK OYSTER HOUSE GULF SHORES 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ARK OYSTER HOUSE CAUSEWAY II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively “Buyer”), Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx (collectively referred to herein as “Principals”) and ORIGINAL OYSTER HOUSE, INC., an Alabama corporation and ORIGINAL OYSTER HOUSE II, INC., an Alabama corporation (collectively “Seller”).

WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the restaurant businesses operating under the name Original Oyster House (the “Businesses’) at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 and 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (collectively the “Business Premises”), and

WHEREAS, Buyer is purchasing substantially all the outstanding assets of Company Seller pursuant to Asset Purchase Agreements between the parties (“Asset Purchase Agreements”), and

WHEREAS, Principals are the sole shareholders of the Seller and the only key personnel of the Businesses.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars and no/100 ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the parties intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

1) Non-Compete. Seller and Principals hereby acknowledge and agree that the Buyer would suffer irreparable injury if Seller or Principals or their immediate family members operate a restaurant in competition with Buyer (as more particularly described in the following sentence) within a thirty-five (35) mile radius of the Business Premises (“Restricted Area”). As a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreements dated as of October 21, 2016 with Seller and Principals and conclude the transaction contemplated herewith, Seller and Principals agree that for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date (“Non-Compete Period”), they will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, or as an owner, officer, employee, agent or otherwise, operate a restaurant, bar or catering hall or banquet facility or engage in any restaurant business similar to that involved in this transaction either with the name “Original Oyster House” or any similar name and/or menu or design or service similar to that of the Seller within a radius of thirty-five (35) miles from each Business Premises. The term “engage” shall be deemed to mean: directly or indirectly, operate, organize, maintain, establish, manage, own, participate in, or in any manner whatsoever, individually or through any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or any other form of entity, firm or organization of which they shall be affiliated in any manner whatsoever, have any interest in, whether as owner, operator, partner, stockholder, director, trustee, officer, lender, representative, employee, principal, agent, consultant or otherwise, or any other business or venture anywhere, that is in direct competition with the Buyer’s Business, unless such activity shall have been previously agreed to in writing by the Buyer or its successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the above noted restriction, Principals may lend funds to their immediate family members to own and/or operate a restaurant provided it is not located within the Restricted Area nor use the name “Original Oyster House” or any similar name and/or menu or design or service similar to that of the Seller. Neither shall Seller or Principals or their immediate family members otherwise solicit for employment or employ any employees of the Business or cause an employee of Buyer to leave his or her employment, or to seek employment with any person or entity other than Buyer nor shall they directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or encourage any dealer, supplier or customer of Buyer to modify or terminate any relationship, whether or not evidenced by a written contract with Buyer.

2) Injunctive Relief. In view of the irreparable harm and damage that would result to the Buyer as a result of a breach by Seller or Principals of the covenants in this Agreement, and in view of the lack of an adequate remedy at law to compensate the Buyer for such harm and damage in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller or Principals of those covenants, the Buyer shall have the right to receive, and Seller and Principals hereby consent to the issuance of, temporary and permanent injunctions enjoining Seller and Principals from any violation of said covenants. This provision shall not

Original Oyster House II

preclude any action for damages that may be brought by Buyer.

3) Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable in law and in equity notwithstanding the existence of any claim or cause of action by Seller or Principals against Buyer whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise. Seller and Principals have carefully read and considered the provisions of this Agreement and, having done so, agree that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business interests of Buyer. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any of the foregoing restrictions are unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that it is their desire that such court substitute an enforceable restriction in place of any restriction deemed unenforceable, and that the substituted restriction be deemed incorporated herein and enforceable against Seller and Principals and that all other terms of this Agreement remain the same except for those in conflict with the unenforceable restriction. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the court, in determining any such enforceable substituted restriction, recognize that it is their intent that the foregoing restrictions be imposed and maintained to the greatest extent possible. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit any party’s rights to appeal.

4) Survival. The obligations of Seller and Principals under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

5) Entire Agreement. Other than as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written regarding the Non-Competition. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties regarding a non-competition agreement.

6) Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended, if the amendment is made in writing and is signed by all parties.

7) Applicable Law/Attorney Fees. The laws of the State of Alabama shall govern this Agreement. If any action is brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs through appeal. Venue shall be in Xxxxxxx County, Alabama.
