(iv)     Work in Progress. A Work in Progress Order staged for shipping as of the Closing shall be accounted for as follows: all consideration owed shall be added to accounts receivable and all inventory promised shall be deducted from inventory-finished products. All consideration not received and inventory not delivered prior to the 6 month anniversary of the Closing shall lead to an adjustment in the Second Payment as set forth in Section 2.06(c), such that the Purchase Price reflects the actual resolution of the Work in Progress Orders as if they had been resolved as of Closing.

6.05     Transfer of Employees. From the Effective Date through the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Seller shall continue the employment of the employees of the Company and will make its best efforts to assist in the post-closing employment of any such employees who Buyer, in its sole discretion, seeks to employ after Closing (the "Transferred Employees"). Seller will terminate the employment of the Transferred Employees, effective as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and will pay all liabilities, relating to the employment of and termination of such employees. Seller shall pay directly to each of its employees that portion of all benefits which has been accrued on behalf of that employee (or is attributable to expenses properly incurred by that employee) as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and Buyer shall assume no liability therefor. No portion of the assets of any Benefit Plan, fund, program or arrangement, written or unwritten, heretofore sponsored or maintained by Seller (and no amount attributable to any such Benefit Plan, fund, program or arrangement) shall be transferred to Buyer, and Buyer shall not be required to continue any such Benefit Plan, fund, program or arrangement after the Closing.

 

(a)     Consulting Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Buyer will negotiate in good faith a consulting agreement with Inga Tritt (“Tritt”), pursuant to which Tritt shall serve as a consultant to Buyer for the Original Sprout operations, including transitional assistance, marketing, product development, brand awareness and continuity services, at a flat rate of $2,500 per month beginning on the date of Closing and for a period of 12 months thereafter. Tritt may also receive commissions of 5% on the amount of sales over $4 million. The terms and conditions shall be set forth further in a definitive consulting agreement between Tritt and Buyer.

 

(b)     Employment Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Buyer will negotiate in good faith an employment agreement with Michael Ambacher (“Ambacher”), pursuant to which Ambacher shall serve in the capacity of President and General manager of the Original Sprout operations on terms and conditions which shall be negotiated between Ambacher and Buyer. 

 

(c)     Consulting Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Buyer will negotiate in good faith a consulting agreement with Lisa Brown (“Brown”), pursuant to which Brown shall serve as a consultant to Buyer for the Original Sprout operations on terms and conditions which shall be negotiated between Brown and Buyer.

Buyer, Concierge, Seller and Owners acknowledge and agree that the Confidentiality Agreement dated May 1, 2017, among the Parties remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep all information relating to the Company, the Business and the transactions described in this Agreement confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.06 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

 

6.07     Books and Records.

 

(a)     In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Buyer shall:

 

(i)     retain the Books and Records (including personnel files) relating to periods after to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of Seller; and

(b)     In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by Buyer after the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Seller shall:

(ii)     upon reasonable notice, afford the Buyer's Representatives reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer's expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

 

(c)     Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.07 where such access would violate any Law.

 

6.08     Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each Party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VII hereof.

 

6.09     Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, no Party shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

 

6.10     Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby covenant that each Party shall comply with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

 

(a)     Escrow. Within 30 days of the Effective Date, a bulk sale escrow (“Escrow”) shall be opened with McGovern Escrow. Seller and Buyer each agree to execute and acknowledge, as appropriate, any instructions, instruments, or documents as may be reasonably required by McGovern Escrow to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a bulk sale to ensure no successor liability to Buyer for trade payables, employment or sales taxes or otherwise, and clearance of any liens encumbering the Purchased Assets. Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall place the Initial Payment to be held in Escrow by McGovern Escrow to cover the cost of all expenses and liabilities associated with the Bulk Sale compliance requirements. Buyer and Seller shall share the expense of McGovern Escrow’s fees pro-rata (50/50). 

 

(b)     Bulk Sales Compliance. A Notice to Creditors of Bulk Sale (the “Notice”) shall be prepared by McGovern Escrow. The signature of the Buyer and the Seller on the Notice will be conclusively deemed their approval of the information contained therein. The Notice shall provide for the sale, transfer, and assignment of the Purchased Assets. The Seller shall be solely and entirely responsible to ensure that the Notice complies with all Bulk Sale provisions of Uniform Commercial Code, Bulk Transfer Section, as the law applies in California. In the event that the current laws pertaining to Bulk Sales are modified, amended or changed in any manner during the course of the transactions contemplated herein, such modifications, amendments or changes shall take precedence over the provisions of this Agreement that relate to Bulk Sales.

 

6.11     Receivables. From and after the Closing, if Seller or any of its Affiliates receives or collects any funds relating to any Accounts Receivable or any other Purchased Asset, Seller or its Affiliate shall remit such funds to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt thereof. Accounts Receivable which were assigned to Seller pursuant to Section 2.05(i), if any, are excluded from this requirement, but Seller shall still provide notice of such receipt for Buyer’s records within 10 Business days. From and after the Closing, if Buyer or its Affiliate receives or collects any funds relating to any Excluded Asset, Buyer or its Affiliate shall remit any such funds to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt thereof.

 

6.12     Transfer Taxes. All transfer, sales, use, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including unsecured personal property tax to county tax collectors) that are attributable to Seller under state or federal tax Law shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

 

6.13     Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The expiration of any representation, warranty or covenant shall not affect any claim made in accordance with this Agreement prior to the date of such expiration.

 

8.02     Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller and Owners jointly and severally shall indemnify Buyer against, and shall hold Buyer harmless from and defend against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

 

(a)     any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date)

 

(b)     any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)     any refunds and other costs associated with such refunds, including shipping, freight, product replacement costs and handling charges, that may result from sales made by the Company prior to the Closing;

(e)     any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability.

 

8.03     Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and shall hold Seller harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

 

(a)     any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement;

 

(b)     any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

(c)     any Assumed Liability to the extent such Loss by Seller arises after the Closing Date.

 

8.04     Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the "Indemnified Party", and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the "Indemnifying Party". The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

 

(a)     The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a) 8.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a) exceeds $10,000 (the "Deductible"), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible.

 

(b)     The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

 

(c)     Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any Losses while seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(d)     In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages.

 

(e)     In determining any indemnification obligation or Losses resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty, all references to "materiality" or "Material Adverse Effect" in the subject representation or warranty shall be ignored.

 

8.05     Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)     Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

(b)     Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c)     Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty-day (30) period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty-day (30) period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)     Right of Offset. In the event that Buyer identifies and determines that an event or occurrence is more likely than not to trigger an indemnification obligation of Seller, pursuant to Section 8.02, Buyer shall have the right to offset the reasonably anticipated amount of such offset from the Second Payment and Final Payment. Any offset amount shall be placed in an escrow account to be held for the benefit of the Parties until the triggering event has been resolved by the Parties pursuant to a settlement agreement or if a dispute as to the indemnity obligation arises, such dispute shall be referred to a mediator for resolution in Orange County, California.

 

8.06     Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

8.07     Exclusive Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to claims for money damages, other than claims arising from intentional misrepresentation or fraud on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled, or to seek any remedy on account of any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by any Party hereto.

This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November __, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and among (i) Inga Tritt (“IT”); (ii) William Pritchett (“WP”) (IT and WP shall sometimes be collectively referred to herein as the “Non-Competing Parties”), and (iii) Kahnalytics, Inc., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Concierge Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively, the “Company”). The Company and the Non-Competing Parties may sometimes be referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties,” or individually as a “Party.”

 

 

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, the Non-Competing Parties, as the owners of The Original Sprout, LLC (“Original Sprout”), are selling their interests in Original Sprout to the Company pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 20, 2017 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”); 

 

WHEREAS, Original Sprout, IT, and WP have experience in and specialized in the manufacture and sale of organic, non-toxic, all natural hair care, bath, skin, and styling products (the “Business”);

 

WHEREAS, WP has confidential information and know-how imperative to the operation of a business which may compete with the Business and IT has been the face of Original Sprout since its inception; and the continued use of IT’s name and likeness in promotional materials and other sales material is an important intangible asset value that Kahnalytics, Inc. is acquiring pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, in contemplation of, among other things, the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement requires the execution of this Agreement providing for the Non-Competing Parties no longer participating in any business which competes with the Business, unless expressly set forth otherwise herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	
			1.

				
			Definitions. In this Agreement, the following terms (in addition to any capitalized terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement) shall have the meanings specified or referred to in this Section 1 and shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms: 

			

 

“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, (a) any other person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person or entity, (b) any officer, director, manager, shareholder or member of such person or entity, and (c) any parent, sibling, descendant or spouse of such person or entity or of any of the persons or entities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) or anyone sharing a home with such person or entity or any of the persons or entities referred to in clauses (a) and (b). For purposes of this definition, the term “control” of a person or entity shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

“Business” means the business of manufacturing and selling organic, non-toxic, all natural hair care, bath, skin, cosmetics and styling products. More specifically, the Business includes the development, manufacture, distribution, production, branding and marketing of natural, safe and/or vegan products for entire families – babies, kids, teens, and adults, alike – including, but not limited to,: baby shampoo, baby wash, conditioner, detangler, curl calmer, hair gel, hair balm, baby cream, sunscreen, and hair oil. The Business shall include any products intended for cleaning, care, rejuvenation, treatment and betterment of hair, skin, and the general physical wellbeing and appearance of human beings. The term “Business” shall not include the operations of any businesses as described in Schedule A (“Schedule of Non-Competing Business Operations)”.

Competition includes use of or association with ITs name, image, likeness, face, voice or other attributes, including but not limited to, the professional reputation and image of IT for any commercial purpose related to the Business. 

 

	
			2.

				
			Non-Compete Agreement. During the five year period (the “Restricted Period”) commencing on the Closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement none of the Non-Competing Parties, nor any of their respective partners, joint venture participants, nor any controlled Affiliate of any of the foregoing will, directly or indirectly, in any manner (whether on his, her or its own account, or as an owner, operator, manager, consultant, officer, director, employee, investor, agent or otherwise), anywhere in the United States where the Business and/or Original Sprout has distributors and/or operations (the “Applicable Area”) – engage directly or indirectly in the Business or any business that competes with the Business – including the creation, manufacturing, and/or selling of organic, non-toxic, vegan, all-natural baby/family/adult hair care, bath, skin, and/or styling products – or own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, operator, manager, consultant, officer, director, employee, investor, agent, representative or otherwise), or consult with or render services for any person or entity that is engaged in the Business or in any activity that competes directly or indirectly with the Business; provided however, that ownership, for passive investment purposes not intended to circumvent this Agreement, of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation, and, shall not be deemed to be engaging in the Business solely by reason of such ownership.

			

 

	 	
			a.

				
			Right of First Refusal. Upon the Effective Date through the termination of this Agreement, if Non-Competing Parties elect to engage in any business operations or product development which may Compete with the Company and the Business including any operations which shall use the name and likeness of IT, (i) the Non-Competing Parties shall offer the Company, by written notice, delivered with confirmation of receipt, a right of first refusal with respect to the development of such business, (the “Right of First Refusal”) and the Company shall have 30 days after receipt of such offer to exercise the Right of First Refusal; and, (ii) If the Company expressly elects not to exercise the Right of First Refusal, the Non-Competing Parties may proceed with the development of such business. 

			

 

	
			3.

				
			Consent to use Name and Likeness for New Products. If the Company develops any new products, which were not acquired in the Asset Purchase Agreement and which were developed after the Closing thereof, the Company shall obtain the written consent of IT prior to utilizing ITs name, image, likeness, face, voice or other attributes, including but not limited to, the professional reputation and image of IT on any new products. The Company is free to use IT’s name and likeness on products that were acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement without any further consent.

			

 

	
			4.

				
			Acknowledgment. The Non-Competing Parties hereby acknowledge that the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement may potentially interfere with their ability to pursue business opportunities, including, without limitation, the expansion or development of a business similar to the Business or which shall produce or sell any competing products with that of the Business. The Non-Competing Parties recognize and agree that the enforcement of this Agreement is necessary to ensure the sale of Non-Competing Parties’ respective interests in the Original Sprout assets, including without limitation related trade secrets, goodwill, technology, formulas, client/vendor/distributor lists and processes. Each of the Non-Competing Parties hereby acknowledges that he, she, or it has been advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement and that he, she or it has done so or, after careful reading and consideration, has chosen not to do so. 

			

 

	
			5.

				
			Enforcement. Notwithstanding Section 10 of this Agreement (Severability), if at the time of enforcement of Section 2 of this Agreement or any other time, a court or mediator holds that the restrictions in this Agreement are unreasonable or to any extent invalid or overbroad under circumstances then existing or otherwise, the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable, valid or enforceable under such circumstances or otherwise shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area, and the covenants herein should be interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent that such court or mediator deems reasonable, valid or enforceable. The Parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement, and any breach of the terms of Section 2 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which there would be no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or, as applicable, its respective successors or assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security), without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity. In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by a Non-Competing Party of Section 2 of this Agreement, the Restricted Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured. The terms of this Section shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Non-Competing Parties. 

			

 

	
			6.

				
			Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. 

			

 

a.     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

b.     Mediation. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall, at first instance, be referred to a mediator for resolution with the mediation to take place in Orange County, California. The Parties shall agree upon a mediator who has experience with business transactions. The Parties shall mutually agree upon a mediator within fourteen (14) days and schedule such mediation. The Parties involved shall equally pay their respective portion of the costs of mediation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek equitable relief by court action before or after instituting mediation, including, without limitation, seeking and obtaining temporary restraining orders, injunctions or other provisional or ancillary remedies, and the initiation and/or maintenance of any such action shall not constitute a waiver of the right to mediate any controversy or claim. 

 

	
			7.

				
			Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury. 

			

 

	
			8.

				
			Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be delivered (1) in person, (2) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (3) by electronic mail, or (4) by a commercial overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery and provides a receipt, and such notices shall be addressed as follows, or to such other address as either Party may from time to time specify in writing to the other Party consistent with these notice provisions.
