respective Representatives not to, take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, contractor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of either Company from maintaining the same business relationships with such Company after the Closing as it maintained with such Company prior to the Closing.  
a.Confidentiality. Seller has had access to, and has gained knowledge with respect 
to, confidential and proprietary information of the Companies, including without limitation, trade secrets, existing or prospective product offerings, processes and formulas, know-how and other operating information, existing or prospective customers, suppliers and vendors and historical and current financial statements, financial projections and budgets (the “Confidential Information”).

If Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or any of their respective Representatives is requested or required by Applicable Law or Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective Order at its sole expense or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6(e). If in the absence of a protective Order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority or else stand liable for contempt, such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to such Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the disclosing party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and sole expense of Buyer, an Order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer may designate.  
a.Injunctive Relief. Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (i) a remedy at law for 
failure to comply with its covenants contained in this Agreement may be inadequate; and (ii) Buyer will be entitled to seek from a court having jurisdiction, in its sole discretion, specific performance, an injunction, a restraining Order or any other equitable relief in order to enforce any such provision without the need to post a bond. The right to obtain such equitable relief will be in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer is entitled under Applicable Law (including, but not limited to, monetary damages). Each Party acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to consult with counsel regarding this Agreement, has fully and completely reviewed this Agreement with such counsel and fully understands the contents hereof. Seller agrees that the territorial, time and other limitations contained in this Agreement are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business and affairs of Buyer, and in the event that any one or more of such territorial, time or other limitations is found to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller agrees to submit to the reduction of said territorial, time or other limitations to such an area, period or otherwise as the court may determine to be reasonable. In the event that any limitation under this Agreement is found to be unreasonable or otherwise invalid in any jurisdiction, in whole or in part, Seller acknowledges and agrees that such limitation will remain and be valid in all other jurisdictions. 
a.Transfer Fees and Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, 
value added, change of control and application costs, fees and/or Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred, imposed or assessed in connection with the Transaction and the documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder (“Transfer Fees”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and

                Section 8.         Remedies for Breaches of This Agreement. 
a.Survival of Representations and Warranties.  
i.The Parties, intending to shorten the applicable statute of limitation period, 
agree that all representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4 of this Agreement will survive until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination); except that the representations and warranties in Section 4(a) (Organization), Section 4(b) (Authorization of Transaction), Section 4(e) (Free and Clear), Section 4(f) (Brokers’ Fees) (collectively, the “Seller’s Fundamental Representations”) will survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties made in Section 4(c) (No Conflict or Violation); and Section 4(d) 








(Consents and Approvals) (collectively, the “Seller SL Representations” and together with Seller’s Representations, the “Seller’s Excluded Representations”) will survive the Closing Date (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination) until sixty (60) days following the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, or extension thereof). All covenants and agreements made by Seller contained in this Agreement that by their nature contemplate survival beyond the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement (including the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 8) will survive the Closing Date (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination) until fully performed or discharged. Any Claim by Buyer for a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Seller contained in this Agreement must be delivered to the Seller in writing prior to the applicable expiration date set forth in this Section 8(a), and if not so delivered shall be irrevocably barred. All of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement will not be limited or diminished in any respect by any past or future inspection, investigation, examination or possession on the part of Buyer, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, any Claim by Buyer based on a Seller’s, their Affiliates’ or any of their respective Representatives’ fraud will survive indefinitely. 
i.The Parties, intending to shorten the applicable statute of limitation period, 
agree that all representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 3 of this Agreement will survive until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (or in the event of termination, the effective date of such termination); except that the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) (Organization), Section 3(b) (Authorization of Transaction), Section 3(e) (Brokers’ Fees) (collectively, the “Buyer Excluded Representations”) will survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties made in Section 3(c) (No Conflict or Violation), Section 3(d) (Consents and Approvals) (collectively, the “Buyer SL Representations”) will survive the Closing Date (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination) until sixty (60) days following the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, or extension thereof). All covenants and agreements made by Buyer contained in this Agreement that by their nature contemplate survival beyond the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement (including the indemnification obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section 8) will survive the Closing Date (or, in the case of termination, from the effective date of such termination) until fully performed or discharged. Any Claim by the Seller for a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Buyer contained in this Agreement must be delivered in writing to Buyer prior to the above-referenced applicable expiration date, and if not so delivered shall be irrevocably barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, any Claim by the Seller based on Buyer’s, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives’ fraud will survive indefinitely. 
i.Written notice of any Claim for breach of representation, warranty or 
covenant delivered to the Party against whom such indemnification is sought prior to the above referenced applicable expiration date will survive thereafter and, as to any such Claim, such expiration, if any, will not affect the rights to indemnification under this Section 8 of the Party bringing such Claim. 
a.Indemnification by Seller. In the event a Seller or a Company breaches (or in the 
event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean a Seller has breached) any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, and provided Buyer provides the Seller with timely written notice of a Claim for which Buyer is seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof, Seller shall be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer, its Affiliates and all their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) harmless from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences a Buyer Party may suffer (including any Adverse Consequences a Buyer Party may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such breach (or alleged breach), subject to Section 8(d) below. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8(b) shall survive the Closing (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination). 
a.Indemnification by Buyer. In the event Buyer breaches (or in the event any third 
party alleges facts that, if true, would mean Buyer has breached) any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, and provided the Seller provides Buyer with timely written notice of a Claim for which Seller is seeking for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof, Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences Seller may suffer (including any Adverse Consequences such Seller may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused 








by the breach (or alleged breach). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8(c) shall survive the Closing (or, in the case of termination, the effective date of such termination). 
a.Limitations on Indemnification. 
i.For purposes of this Section 8(d), the term “Threshold” means a dollar 
amount equal to $65,000. 
i.No Seller shall be liable for any Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(b) until the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences suffered by the Buyer Parties exceeds the Threshold, in which case, subject to Seller Maximum Indemnification Liability, the Buyer Parties will be entitled to recover all Adverse Consequences paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Buyer Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold amount). For purposes hereof, the “Seller Maximum Indemnification Liability” shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Claim by Buyer Party arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by: (A) the Seller’s Excluded Representations; or (B) a Seller’s, their Affiliates’ or any of their respective Representatives’ intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the Seller shall be responsible for all Adverse Consequences without application of the Threshold up to a maximum amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price. 
ii.Buyer shall not be liable for any Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(c) until the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences suffered by the Seller exceeds the Threshold, in which case, subject to the Buyer Maximum Indemnification Liability, the Seller will be entitled to recover all Adverse Consequences paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Seller (including, for the Threshold amount). For purposes hereof, the “Buyer Maximum Indemnification Liability” shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Claim by the Seller arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by: (A) a Buyer Excluded Representation, or (B) Buyer’s, its Affiliates’ or any of their respective Representatives’ intentional misrepresentation or fraud, Buyer shall be responsible for all Adverse Consequences without application of the Threshold up to a maximum amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price. 
b.Notification of Claims. In the event that any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) 
becomes entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may deliver to the Party responsible for the indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) a signed certificate (an “Indemnification Notice”), which certificate will: (i) state that a Claim for indemnification is being made; (ii) specify the section(s) of this Agreement that have been breached by the Indemnifying Party or any other Person for whom the Indemnifying Party is responsible to provide indemnification hereunder, (iii) state that Adverse Consequences have occurred or are reasonably likely to occur; and (iii) to the extent possible, specify in reasonable detail each individual Adverse Consequence including the amount thereof and the date such Adverse Consequence was incurred. In addition, each Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly following its receipt of service of any Claim initiated by an unaffiliated third party which pertains to a matter for which indemnification may be sought hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder if the Indemnifying Party has not been prejudiced thereby. 
a.Defense of Third-Party Claims. 
i.An 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: (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim; (B) 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; (C) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (D) 








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 or the reputation of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim with reasonable diligence; and (F) 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 result in criminal proceedings against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. 
i.So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third- Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(f)(i): (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at his, her, or its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim; (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) and without the Indemnified Party receiving an unconditional release of such Third-Party Claims. 
ii.In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(f)(i) above is or becomes 
unsatisfied, however: (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (provided that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense of the Third-Party Claim, and shall not agree to any settlement thereof without the consent thereto of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be un reasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (B) 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 (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences 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 Section 8. 
a.Direct Claims. In the event of a Claim for indemnification under this Agreement 
for which an Indemnified Party has provided notice of such Claim to an Indemnifying Party under this Section 8 (but excluding any Third-Party Claim) and the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice disputes all or any part of such Claim, then Buyer and Seller will first attempt to resolve such Claim through direct negotiations in good faith. No settlement reached in such negotiations under this Section 8(g) will be binding until reduced to a writing signed by all of the applicable Parties. If the dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) business days after the date of delivery of such Claim, then such dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 11(c). Nothing in this Section 8(g) will prevent any Party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in accordance with this Agreement. 
a.Other Indemnification Matters.  
b.All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 8 will be 
treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. 
i.The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in 
derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any Party may have with respect to the Transaction.  
i.Seller hereby agrees that Seller will not make any demand for 
indemnification, reimbursement, contribution or any other amount whatsoever from either Company in connection with Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 8, and neither Company shall have any obligation to indemnify, reimburse, contribute or pay any amount to any Seller or any other Person in connection with Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Section 8. 
Section 9. Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain tax matters following the Closing Date: 
a.The Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared and will file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for each Company for all Tax periods ending prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Periods”). Each Tax Return referred to in this Section 9(a) will be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the applicable each Company and without a change of any election, accounting method or convention (in each case except as otherwise required by 








Applicable Law). At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return is due (with applicable extensions), the Seller will submit such Tax Return to Buyer for review, and comment, and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer will provide any written comments to the Seller no later than fifteen (15) days after receiving any such Tax Return and, if Buyer does not provide any written comments within fifteen (15) days, Buyer will be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. Seller and the Buyer will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to any such Tax Return. If Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve any such dispute at least five (5) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return (“Tax Dispute”), the matter will be referred to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants as may be mutually selected by Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the Tax Dispute. The Seller and Buyer shall instruct the Independent Accountant to furnish notice to each the Seller and Buyer of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 30 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Independent Accountant will be binding on the Parties and the Seller and Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer. 
b.Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and will file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of each Company that are required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Straddle Period. Each Tax Return referred to in this Section 9(b) will be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the applicable Company and without a change of any election, accounting method or convention (in each case except as otherwise required by Applicable Law).  
c.For purposes of this Section 9, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, 
property or operations of each Company that is attributable to any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends on or after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) will be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 9(c). The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will: (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and excluded the Closing Date. The portion of a Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period will be calculated in a corresponding manner.  
a.The Seller shall be Liable for fifty percent (50%) of all Taxes owed with respect 
to any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and, in the case of a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, all Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period together with any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. The Seller shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which any Seller receives written notice that Taxes are paid with respect to such periods or transactions in an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period, as the case may be, for which Seller is responsible hereunder. 
a.The Seller and Buyer will cooperate fully in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9 and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include (upon the other Person’s request) the provision of records and information that are available and reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Seller and Buyer further agree, upon the request of the other Person, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may 








be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transaction). 
b.Notwithstanding Section 8 or anything contained herein to the contrary, to the 
extent of any inconsistences between Section 8 and this Section 9(f), this Section 9(f) will control any inquiries, assessments, proceedings or similar events with respect to Taxes. Buyer will promptly notify the Seller: (i) upon receipt by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer of any notice of any audit or examination of any Tax Return of any Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and any other proposed change or Claim related to Taxes from any Tax authority relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Tax Matter”); or (ii) prior to Buyer or any Company initiating any Tax Matter with any Tax authority relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. The Seller, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, may participate in the defense of any such Tax Matter; provided that the failure of Buyer to provide notices as required under this Section 9(f) will not negate Buyer’s right to indemnification under this Section 9 and Section 8 with respect to Tax Liabilities resulting from such Tax Matter except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced as a result of such failure. Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to exercise control at any time over any Tax Matter regarding any Tax Return of either Company (including the right to settle or otherwise terminate any contest with respect thereto). 
a.Fifty percent (50%) of any refunds for Taxes (including any interest in respect 
thereof actually received from a Governmental Authority), net of reasonable expenses and net of any income Taxes of Buyer, either Company or any of their respective Affiliates attributable to such refund, actually received by Buyer or either Company, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Buyer, either Company, or any of their respective Affiliates become entitled and that reduce or could reduce the Taxes otherwise payable by Buyer, either Company, or any of their respective Affiliates (including by way of any amended Tax return), related to, or resulting or arising, directly or indirectly from Taxes of either Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be for the benefit of Seller (excluding any refund or credit attributable to any loss in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) beginning on or after the Closing Date applied (e.g., as a carryback) to income in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date).  
a.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 9 will survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days and, except to the extent specifically set forth in Section 9(f) above, any indemnification obligations arising pursuant to this Section 9 will be subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof. 
                Section 10.       Termination. 
a.Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Transaction may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date: 
i.By mutual written consent of Buyer and the Seller; 
ii.By either Buyer or the Seller if a Governmental Authority will have issued 
an Order or taken any other action (excluding any Order or action arising under, relating to or in connection with the Federal Cannabis Laws), in each case that has become final and non-appealable and that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Transaction or any part of it; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10(a) will not be available to any Person whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has resulted in the issuance of such Order or caused such action; 
i.By Buyer upon written notice to the Seller at any time prior to Closing if: (A) Seller has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect and (1) the breach cannot be cured, or (2) Buyer has notified the Seller of the breach in writing, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Seller of the written notice of breach; (B) Buyer determines in there has been, or is likely to be, a failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Transaction; (C) Buyer determines there has been, or is reasonably likely to be, a Material Adverse Effect on, or a Material Adverse Change to, the Companies taken as a whole, or that the Merger Transaction has been terminated or otherwise will not be consummated; (D) the Closing has not occurred by the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective 
Date; or 








i.By the Seller upon written notice to Buyer at any time prior to Closing if: (A) Buyer has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect and (1) the breach cannot be cured, or (2) the Seller has notified Buyer of the breach in writing, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of the written notice of breach, (B) Seller determines in there has been, or is likely to be, a failure of a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to consummate the Transaction; or (C) the Closing has not occurred by the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Date.

contemplated herein is abandoned prior to Closing pursuant to Section 10(a), this Agreement will forthwith become void, without Liability on the part of any Party hereto (except for the provisions of this Section 10(b) and Section 8, Section 11(b), Section 11(c), Section 11(d) and Section 11(q), and such other provisions herein that contemplate survival beyond termination of this Agreement, all of which shall all survive such termination), and all rights and obligations of each Party will cease and be of no further force or effect, except that nothing in this Section 10(b) will relieve any Party from Liability imposed upon such Party pursuant to any Section of this Agreement that survives termination. 
                Section 11.       Miscellaneous. 
a.Further Assurances. Following the Closing Date, each Party will cooperate in good 
faith with each other Party and will take all commercially reasonable actions which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out and consummate the Transactions.
