 13.2 Export Controls. Licensee shall comply with all applicable U.S. laws dealing with the export and/or management of technology or information. Licensee understands that the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), including its implementing International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Act (EAA), including its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), are some (but not all) of the laws and regulations that comprise the U.S. export laws and regulations.

 ARTICLE 14: OPTION TO PURCHASE
  
 14. Option to Purchase.
  
 14.1 Election; Purchase Price. Upon the occurrence of a “Sale of Licensee” during the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall have the right and option to purchase the Technology Rights. The purchase price to be paid for the purchase of the Technology Rights shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i)$5,000,000.00, and (ii) forty-five percent (45%) of all consideration actually received by Licensee’s members in the Sale of Licensee. The purchase price will be paid in the same form as the consideration received by Licensee’s members; provided, however, that, Licensee may elect to make a cash payment in lieu of delivering non-cash consideration, which payment shall be equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, as mutually agreed by Licensee and Licensor.
  
 	 
	12
	

	 

  
 14.2 Purchase Terms. At any time during the 90-day period preceding a Sale of Licensee, Licensee (or an Affiliate or other entity designated by Licensee) may elect to exercise its right to purchase the Technology Rights by delivering written notice thereof to Licensor. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Technology Rights shall occur within thirty (30) days of the closing of the Sale of Licensee. At the closing, Licensor shall transfer and convey the Technology Rights to Licensee or its designee using such documents and instruments of transfer as are mutually agreeable to Licensor and Licensee (or Licensee’s designee, if applicable), and Licensor shall authorize Licensee or such designee to record and register the assignment with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and such other third parties as are necessary and appropriate. Licensor shall convey the Technology Rights “as, is, where is”, without representation or warranty, other than representations that are substantially similar to those set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof. Upon the closing of the sale of the Technology Rights under this Section 14, Licensee’s obligation to pay the Continuing Royalty shall cease.
  
 14.3 Contingent Consideration. If any portion of the consideration payable to the members of the Licensee is subject to contingencies (including, without limitation, escrow, holdback, earn-out provisions and the like), Licensee (or its Affiliate or designee) shall pay to Licensor an amount calculated based on the portion of such consideration that is not subject to any such contingencies. One or more additional payments will be made to Licensor in the event that any additional consideration becomes payable to the members of the Company upon satisfaction of such contingencies.
  
 14.4 Sale of Assets by Licensee. In the event of the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Licensee (“Sale of Assets”), Licensor acknowledges that the Continuing Royalty will include any net income recognized by Licensee in such Sale of Assets. Accordingly, the Technology Rights will be deemed to have been sold to Licensee or its Affiliate pursuant to Section 14.2 immediately prior to such Sale of Assets, and no additional consideration shall be paid to Licensor; provided, however, that if the Continuing Royalty payable to Licensor for the quarter in which the Sale of Assets occurred is less than $5,000,000, Licensee shall pay to Licensor an amount equal to the difference between $5,000,000.00 and the Continuing Royalty.
  
 ARTICLE 15: MISCELLANEOUS
  
 15. Miscellaneous.
  
 15.1 Further Assurances. Each party shall, upon the reasonable request, and at the sole cost and expense, of the other party, promptly execute such documents and perform such acts as may be necessary to give full effect to the terms of this Agreement.
  
 15.2 Independent Contractors. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.
  
 15.3 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail (in each case, with confirmation of transmission or receipt) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third (3rd) day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

 15.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all other agreements entered into in conjunction herewith and all Exhibits and any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all other agreements entered into in conjunction herewith, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
  
 15.5 Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable or otherwise transferable by Licensee, and any attempt by Licensee to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, shall be null and void; provided, however, that no consent shall be required in connection with the assignment of all of Licensee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to an acquiror or successor in interest in connection with a Sale of Licensee or the sale of all or substantially all of Licensee’s assets.
  
 15.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under, or by reason of this Agreement.
  
 15.7 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the waiving party. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
  
 15.8 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
  
 15.9 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without application of any principles of choice of laws, and the courts within Dade County in the State of Florida shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all disputes arising out of this Agreement. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Florida, in each case located in Miami, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
  
 	 
	14
	

	 

  
 15.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
  
 15.11 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation, and agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party will be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of a restraining order, orders for preliminary or permanent injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, and the parties hereby waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such relief. These remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in this Agreement to the contrary.
  
 15.12 Attorneys Fees. In the event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party hereto against the other party arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the non-prevailing party.
  
 15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail, or other means of electronic transmission (to which a signed PDF copy is attached) shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
