Unless within the fifteen (15) day period following Twenty Two’s receipt of the Net Revenue Certificate, Twenty Two delivers a written notice to the Buyer (the “Earnout Challenge Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement related to the Net Revenue Certificate, the Net Revenue Certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon the Buyer and Twenty Two.

By way of illustration, in the event the Net Revenues during the Earnout Period are (A) $3,250,000, then the number of Earnout Shares shall be 162,500 (200,000 X 1 – (3,250,000-4,000,000)/4,000,000), or (B) $3,750,000, then the number of Earnout shares shall be 187,500 (200,000 X 1 – (3,750,000 – 4,000,000)/4,000,000).
 
(iii) In the event the Net Revenues during the Earnout Period are less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), the number of Earnout Shares shall be zero.
 
 
 
 
(c) Marketing and Advertising Commitment. From the Closing and continuing during the Earnout Period, Buyer agrees to spend at least Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000) per quarter for marketing, advertising and online traffic related expenses for ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

Buyer, the Seller and the Shareholders each acknowledge and agree that there is no assurance that the Seller will become entitled to receive the Earnout Shares, Buyer has not promised nor projected the Earnout Shares and neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates owes any fiduciary or other express or implied duty to the Seller or the Shareholders except as required under applicable law and the Buyer’s organizational documents. During the Earnout Period, Buyer agrees to act in good faith, in accordance with all Legal Requirements and operate the Business in a manner that is not designed or intended to impede or interfere with, and it agrees that it will not take, cause to be taken, or fail to take or cause to be taken, any action that has the purpose or intent of impeding or interfering with the attainment of the Earnout Shares. Further, except with the prior written consent of Twenty Two, from the Closing and continuing during the Earnout Period:
 
 
(i) Buyer will cause the books of the Business, taken as a whole, to remain as a separate corporate entity or as a separate division of Buyer;
 
 
(ii) Buyer will not wind-up or eliminate the Business and will facilitate the continued operation of the Business platform, including without limitation, ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇; and
 
(e) Buyer will, and will cause the Business to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain complete and accurate books and records related to the calculation of Net Revenue.
 
Section 2.9   Consents. If there are any Consents that have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 2.4, neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the Seller Contracts, and following the Closing, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain the Consent relating to such Seller Contract as quickly as practicable.

Once a Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Seller Contract is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Seller Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Seller Contract assigned to Buyer from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional cost to Buyer).

(b) Nonsolicitation. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly (and in each case for purposes of providing, or directing to a Person who provides, products or services that are competitive with those provided by Buyer or the Business):
 
(i) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of Buyer;
 
(ii) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Buyer to cease doing business with Buyer, to deal with any competitor of Buyer or in any way interfere with its relationship with Buyer;
 
(iii) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Seller on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Buyer, to deal with any competitor of Buyer or in any way interfere with its relationship with Buyer; or
 
(iv) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of Buyer or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any of its employees or independent contractors.
 
(c) Nondisparagement. After the Closing Date, Seller will not disparage Buyer or any of Buyer’s shareholders, directors, officers, or employees; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the provision of truthful information made in the course of sworn testimony or in any administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings or investigations.
 
 
 
 
(d) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 5.8(a) through (c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic 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. This Section 5.8 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 5.8 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.
 
Section 5.9   Customer and Other Business Relationships. For the period of twelve (12) months following Closing, Seller will, upon reasonable request by Buyer, cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by Buyer after the Closing, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others. Seller will refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to such business. Neither Seller nor any of its officers, employees, agents or shareholders shall take any action that would actually diminish the value of the Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of Buyer to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of Buyer.
 
Section 5.10   Retention of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain for a period consistent with Buyer’s record-retention policies and practices those Records of Seller delivered to Buyer. Buyer also shall provide Seller and Shareholders and their Representatives reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least three days’ prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or Tax Returns or deal with Tax audits. After the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to Records that are Excluded Assets, during normal business hours and on at least three days’ prior written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice.
 
Section 5.11 Further Assurances. The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
Indemnification; Remedies
 
Section 6.1   Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, subject to Section 6.7.
 
Section 6.2   Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller and Shareholders. Seller and each Shareholder, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and its Representatives, shareholders, subsidiaries and Related Persons (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with:
 
(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or either Shareholder in (i) this Agreement (without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Letter), (ii) any transfer instrument or (iii) any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Seller or either Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller or either Shareholder in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Seller or either Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(c) any Liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Assets prior to the Effective Time other than the Assumed Liabilities;
 
(d) any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made, or alleged to have been made, by any Person with Seller or either Shareholder (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions;
 
(e) any noncompliance with any bulk sales Legal Requirements or fraudulent transfer law in respect of the Contemplated Transactions; or
 
(f) any Retained Liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Section 6.3   Indemnification and Reimbursement by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and its Representatives, shareholders, subsidiaries and Related Persons (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) and will reimburse the Seller Indemnified Persons, for any Damages arising from or in connection with:
 
(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(c) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on Buyer’s behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions;
 
(d) any obligations of Buyer with respect to bargaining with the collective bargaining representatives of Hired Active Employees subsequent to the Closing; or
 
(e) any Assumed Liabilities.
 
Section 6.4   Time Limitations.
 
(a) Seller and Shareholders will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation or (ii) a representation or warranty as to which a claim may be made at any time, only if on or before December 31, 2022, if Buyer notifies Seller or Shareholders of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer.
 
(b) Buyer will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation or (ii) a representation or warranty, only if on or before December 31, 2022, Seller or Shareholders notify Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller or Shareholders.
 
Section 6.5   Dollar Limitations on Indemnification.
 
(a) No indemnification payments shall be payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations of Seller or Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.2 or the indemnification obligations of Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3, respectively, unless the total aggregate indemnification obligations under either such Section, as applicable to the Indemnified Person, exceeds $25,000 (the "Threshold"). Once the Threshold is satisfied against an Indemnifying Person, the Indemnifying Person shall pay to the Indemnified Person the Threshold plus the amount of all indemnification obligations in excess of the Threshold, subject to the provisions of this Article 6.
 
(b) No Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover indemnifiable Damages from the other party under Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 for more than an amount equal to the aggregate of the Escrow Amount and the valuation of the Indemnification Shares, with each Indemnification Share having the value equal to the NYSE listed closing stock price of YCBD at the close of trading on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Cap”); provided, that the Cap shall not apply with respect to any Damages resulting from or relating to any claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Amount and the Indemnification Shares shall be the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ sole recourse against the Seller and the Shareholders for recovering indemnifiable Damages under Section 6.2 other than with respect to any claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
 
Section 6.6   Right of Setoff; Escrow; Satisfaction of Claims.
 
(a) Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buyer may setoff (or withhold until final resolution) the Indemnification Shares or any other amount to which it may be entitled under this Article VI against amounts otherwise payable or issuable to Seller or Shareholders, including the amounts set forth in the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6, the basis for determining the number of Indemnification Shares which shall be used to setoff such amounts owed by Seller or Shareholders hereunder shall be the NYSE listed closing stock price of YCBD at the close of trading on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or to give a notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.
 
(b) On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following December 31, 2022 (the “Release Date”), Buyer and the Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release any the Escrow Funds less the aggregate amount of Damages specified in notice of any Third-Party Claim or Direct Claim to the Seller. To the extent that any amount has been reserved and withheld from distribution from the Escrow Account on the Release Date on account of an unresolved claim for indemnification and, subsequent to the Release Date, such claim is resolved, the Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to (x) release to Buyer an amount from the Escrow Funds (not to exceed any amounts then in the Escrow Account) equal to amount of Damages, if any, due in respect of such claim as finally resolved and (y) release to the Seller any remaining Escrow Funds not reserved and withheld from distribution in accordance with this Section 6.6(b).
 
 
 
 
Section 6.7   Third-Party Claims.
 
(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6.2, 6.3 (to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 6.3) or 6.4 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice (a “Claim Notice”) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.
 
(b) If an Indemnified Person delivers a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 6.6(a), the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VI for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent. If a Claim Notice is given to an Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person does not, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such Claim Notice, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.
 
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
 
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4, Seller and each Shareholder hereby consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller and Shareholders with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
 
(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.
 
(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its commercially reasonable, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.
 
Section 6.8   Indemnification Procedure for Direct Claims. Any Indemnified Person asserting a claim on account of Damages that do not arise from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Person prior to the expiration of the applicable time limitation set forth in Section 6.4. The Claim Notice shall describe such claim and the nature and amount, or anticipated amount, of the Damages, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time. If the Indemnifying Person in good faith objects to any claim made in such Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Person shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Person during the thirty (30) day period commencing following delivery by the Indemnified Person of the Claim Notice. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made in the Claim Notice. Each claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Notice shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Person’s favor for purposes of this ARTICLE VI on the terms set forth in the Claim Notice upon the earlier of (i) notice that the Indemnifying Person agrees with the Direct Claims asserted in the Claim Notice or (ii) expiration of such thirty (30) day period if the Indemnifying Person does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Person prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. In such event, the Indemnified Person will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Person at the Indemnifying Person’s expense pursuant to the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 6.9   Other Limitations on Indemnification.
 
(a) Payments by an Indemnifying Person pursuant to Article VI in respect of any Damage shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Person in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Person shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Damages prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
 
(a) Each Indemnified Person, as applicable, shall take, and cause its affiliates to take, all reasonable steps required by applicable law to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
 
 
 
 
ARTICLE VII
 
Confidentiality
 
Section 7.1   Definition of Confidential Information.
 
(a) As used in this Article I, the term “Confidential Information” includes any and all of the following information of Seller, Buyer or Shareholders that has been or may hereafter be disclosed in any form, whether in writing, orally, electronically or otherwise, or otherwise made available by observation, inspection or otherwise by either party (Buyer on the one hand or Seller and Shareholders, collectively, on the other hand) or its Representatives (collectively, a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or its Representatives (collectively, a “Receiving Party”):
 
(i) all information that is a trade secret under applicable trade secret or other law;

(iv) all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries and other material prepared by the Receiving Party to the extent containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included in the foregoing.
 
(b) Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Article I, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article I to the extent included within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer, Seller and Shareholders hereby waives any requirement that the other party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.
 
Section 7.2   Restricted Use of Confidential Information.
 
(a) Each Receiving Party acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party; (ii) shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information of Seller or Shareholders (each, a “Seller Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”). Each of Buyer and Seller and Shareholders shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer, Seller or Shareholders, as the case may be, of the obligations of this Article I with respect to such information. Each of Buyer, Seller and Shareholders shall (iv) enforce the terms of this Article I as to its respective Representatives; (v) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article I; and (vi) be responsible and liable for any breach of the provisions of this Article I by it or its Representatives.
 
(b) Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller and each Shareholder shall maintain as confidential any Confidential Information (including for this purpose any information of Seller or Shareholders of the type referred to in Sections 7.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), whether or not disclosed to Buyer) of the Seller or Shareholders relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.
 
(c) From and after the Closing, the provisions of Section 7.2(a) above shall not apply to or restrict in any manner Buyer’s use of any Confidential Information of the Seller or Shareholders relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Section 7.3   Exceptions. Sections 7.2(a) and (b) do not apply to that part of the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that a Receiving Party demonstrates (a) was, is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Article I or the Confidentiality Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (b) was or is developed by the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (c) was, is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a nonconfidential basis from a Third Party not bound by a confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary or other obligation restricting disclosure. Neither Seller nor either Shareholder shall disclose any Confidential Information of Seller or Shareholders relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in reliance on the exceptions in clauses (b) or (c) above.
 
Section 7.4   Legal Proceedings. If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Article I, that Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article I. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based upon advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body, provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. The provisions of this Section 7.4 do not apply to any Proceedings between the parties to this Agreement.
 
Section 7.5   Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. If this Agreement is terminated, each Receiving Party shall (a) destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party prepared or generated by the Receiving Party without retaining a copy of any such material; (b) promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all other Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, together with all copies thereof, in the possession, custody or control of the Receiving Party or, alternatively, with the written consent of a Seller Contact or a Buyer Contact (whichever represents the Disclosing Party) destroy all such Confidential Information; and (c) certify all such destruction in writing to the Disclosing Party, provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain a list that contains general descriptions of the information it has returned or destroyed to facilitate the resolution of any controversies after the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is returned.
 
Section 7.6   Attorney-Client Privilege. The Disclosing Party is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The parties (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in Proceedings to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Closing the Receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. No Receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either party or otherwise, that any Disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to a Receiving Party due to the Disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party.

Section 8.4   Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the courts of the State of North Carolina, County of Mecklenburg, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction in any other court. The parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any Proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this section may be served on any party anywhere in the world.
 
Section 8.5   Enforcement of Agreement. Seller and Shareholders acknowledge and agree that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any Breach of this Agreement by Seller or Shareholders could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
 
Section 8.6   Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.
 
Section 8.7   Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between Buyer and Seller) and constitutes (along with the Disclosure Letter, Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.
 
Section 8.8   Disclosure Letter.
 
(a) The information in the Disclosure Letter constitutes (i) exceptions to particular representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller and Shareholders as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) descriptions or lists of assets and liabilities and other items referred to in this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the statements in this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Letter with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in this Agreement will control.
 
(b) The statements in the Disclosure Letter, and those in any supplement thereto, shall be deemed to modify the representations and warranties in ARTICLE III only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure that the disclosure in one section is applicable to other sections. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and neither party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy with any party as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Disclosure Letter is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts are required to be disclosed as material) or in the ordinary course of business for the purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in the Disclosure Letter is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of any Legal Requirement or Breach of any agreement. The information contained in the Disclosure Letter is intended to qualify the representations and warranties in ARTICLE III but is not intended to constitute a representation or warranty itself for purposes of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.9   Assignments, Successors and No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Buyer and may collaterally assign its rights hereunder to any financial institution providing financing in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 8.9.
 
Section 8.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
 
 
 
 
Section 8.11 Construction. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Articles,” “Sections” and “Parts” refer to the corresponding Articles, Sections and Parts of this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter.
 
Section 8.12 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
 
Section 8.13 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would require the application of any other law.
 
Section 8.14 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
 
Section 8.15 Shareholder Obligations. The liability of each Shareholder hereunder shall be joint and several with Seller and with the other Shareholder. Where in this Agreement provision is made for any action to be taken or not taken by Seller, Shareholders jointly and severally undertake to cause Seller to take or not take such action, as the case may be. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Shareholders shall be jointly and severally liable with Seller for the indemnities set forth in Article 6.
