Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On or about March 30, 2021 the Registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary Tactical Relief, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a 25-year land lease in the Las Vegas area (the “Land Lease”) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIORE Cannabis, Marapharm Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Marapharm”). This land has ample space to install Allied’s building and further space for future expansion. Allied has completed the construction of an approximate $3.5 million, 9,000 square foot, GMP-complaint facility that is ready to be deployed from the Las Vegas construction factory to this land location. The building has ample space for cannabis cultivation and research as well as large scale product packaging and fulfillment. This building will be deployed to the location in the Las Vegas area and is ready for production.

 

In addition, Allied’s wholly owned subsidiary, Allied US Products LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase of a Nevada State US-based cannabis license from Marapharm. As Nevada is not issuing any new licenses this asset is a key piece of Allied’s business plan and international vertifically integrated supply chain. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price of $1,500,000, payable $150,000 within 45 days and the balance paid pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) from 50% of the net operating income from the facility.

 

Allied US Products LLC, also entered into a master services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Marapharm, a Nevada registered company that has the required licenses to operate the facility and will manage all activities that involve touching the plant. This includes all activities and actions needed to operate and manage the facility and equipment, as well as, perform all cannabis cultivation, production, sales and distribution activities. Allied Corp has sought expert legal opinion regarding corporate structuring in order to structure these agreements such that Allied Corp, as a publicly traded company, will not directly engage in any activities that involve touching the plant.

 

The precise terms of the Land Lease, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Promissory Note and the Services Agreement are set forth in the exhibits attached hereto.

(b) Any and all sums of money or charges (other than Annual Rent and the Profit Distribution) required to be paid by Tactical Relief to Marapharm under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent (“Additional Rent”) and shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following demand if no other time for payment is specified.Annual Rent, the Profit Distribution, and Additional Rent are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Rent”.Tactical Relief covenants to pay, without notice or demand and without deduction or set-off for any reason whatsoever except as expressly provided in this Lease, the Rent and all other sums which under any provision of this Lease may become due hereunder, from Tactical Relief to Marapharm at the times and in the manner provided herein.Marapharm shall have the same rights and remedies for the non-payment of Additional Rent or the Profit Distribution as in the case of the non-payment of Annual Rent.

 

(c) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing throughout the term of this Lease, Landlord shall receive a profit distribution (the “Profit Distribution”) in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the “Net Operating Income” (as defined below) derived from the operation of Tactical Relief’s or its affiliate’s cannabis cultivation, marketing, and sales facility located at the Premises (the “Facility”).

(e) If Tactical Relief shall fail to make any payment of Rent payable hereunder within five (5) days after receiving written notice from Marapharm that the same is past due, Tactical Relief shall pay Marapharm a late charge of 5% of the amount of such payment from the date due until the date paid; provided, however, that Marapharm shall not be required to provide notice of any delinquent Rent more than two (2) times per calendar year.In addition, if Tactical Relief fails to make any payment of Rent when due, Tactical Relief shall pay interest thereon from the date due until the date paid at a rate of 10% calculated on the basis of a 360-day year with twelve (12) months of 30 days each.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of Marapharm’s or Tactical Relief’s organization, convert Marapharm or Tactical Relief into a different form of entity, or to create a holding company, so long as Marapharm, Tactical Relief, or the holding company, as the case may be, will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Marapharm’s or Tactical Relief’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

11. Exculpation. Neither Marapharm nor its members, managers, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Tactical Relief or its successors, assignees or subtenants for any loss, damage, or injury of any kind whatsoever to the person or property of Tactical Relief or any sublessee, or any other person, caused by any use or condition of the Premises or by any defect in any structure erected thereon, or arising from any accident, fire or other casualty on the Premises.

Tactical Relief’s obligation to defend the Marapharm Indemnitees hereunder shall be by counsel reasonably acceptable to Marapharm, and “attorney’s fees” shall include both reasonable attorneys’ fees and paralegals’ fees and expenses.

(vi) Tactical Relief pledges, encumbers, hypothecates, transfers, assigns, or conveys its interest in this Lease or any part thereof, to anyone in violation of the terms of this Lease.

9

 

   

19. At Marapharm’s option, if Tactical Relief has breached this Lease and has abandoned the Premises, no notice of termination will be given, and this Lease will continue in effect for so long as Marapharm does not terminate Tactical Relief’s right to possession.Marapharm may in that case enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due.

30. Saving Clause.

(b) whether or not this Lease is in full force and effect and that this Lease has not been modified except as provided in an amendment or amendments identified therein, stating further that this Lease as so amended is in full force and effect;

 

(c) whether the date to which the Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease have been paid by or on behalf of Tactical Relief;

(e) that any such statement may conclusively be relied upon by Marapharm or Tactical Relief by any title insurance company which issues a title insurance policy or other guaranty or endorsement relating to the existence and status of this Lease.

 

33. Eminent Domain.

 

(a) The term “total taking” as used in this Section 31 means the taking of the entire Premises under the power of eminent domain or a taking of so much of the Premises as to prevent or substantially impair the conduct of Tactical Relief’s business thereon.The term “partial taking” means the taking of a portion only of the Leased Premises that does not constitute a total taking, as above defined.

 

(b) If during the Lease term there shall be a total taking by public authority under the power of eminent domain, then the leasehold estate of Tactical Relief in and to the Premises shall cease and terminate as of the date the actual physical possession thereof shall be so taken.

 

(c) If during the Lease term there shall be a partial taking of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken upon the date upon which actual possession of the portion of the Premises is taken pursuant to the eminent domain proceedings, but the Lease shall continue in force and effect as to the remainder of the Premises.The Rent payable by Tactical Relief for the balance of the Lease term shall be abated based on the proportion of the square footage of the Premises that is usable, in whole or in part, by Lessee or on any other reasonable basis, as determined by Marapharm in good faith.

 

(d) All compensation and damages awarded for the taking of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be allocated as follows:Marapharm shall be entitled to an award for the loss of its fee interest in the Premises, as encumbered by Tactical Relief’s leasehold interest, as created by this Lease, and Lessee shall be entitled to:(i) any award for diminution in value of its leasehold hereunder or for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease; and (ii) any award which may be made for the taking of or injury to Tactical Relief’s Improvements, or, on account of any cost or loss Tactical Relief may sustain in the removal of Tactical Relief’s fixtures, equipment and furnishings, or as a result of any alterations, modifications or repairs which may be reasonably required by Tactical Relief in order to place the remaining portion of the Premises not so condemned in a suitable condition for the continuance of Tactical Relief’s tenancy.

 

 
13

 

 

(e) If this Lease is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 31, all Rent and other charges payable by Tactical Relief to Marapharm hereunder and attributable to the portion of the Premises taken, shall be paid up to the date upon which actual physical possession shall be taken by the condemning authority.

 

34. Limitation of Liability. If Marapharm sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers (whether by operation of law or otherwise) all or part of its interests in the Premises or this Lease, Marapharm shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this Lease accruing after the effective date of such transfer; and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Marapharm’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease effective from and after the effective date of the transfer.Marapharm, its members, managers, officers, agents, and employees, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have no personal liability under or in connection with this Lease. Tactical Relief agrees that it shall look solely to Marapharm’s interest in the Premises and this Lease for the satisfaction of Tactical Relief’s remedies or to collect any judgment requiring payment of any money by Marapharm.

 

35. Survival of Obligations. All obligations of Tactical Relief hereunder, including Tactical Relief’s indemnification obligations, not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination thereof.

 

36. Holding Over. Tactical Relief shall not use or remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of sooner termination of this Lease. Any holding over, or continued use or occupancy by Tactical Relief after the termination of this Lease, without the written consent of Marapharm, shall not constitute a tenant-at-will interest on behalf of Tactical Relief, but Tactical Relief shall become a tenant-at-sufferance and liable for holdover rent in an amount equal to 150% times the monthly installment of Rent and all other expenses, obligations, and payments in effect immediately prior to such expiration or termination.There shall be no renewal whatsoever of this Lease by operation of law.

 

37. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Lease is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such 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 Lease or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

38. Compliance with Law. Upon execution of this Lease, Tactical Relief acknowledges that Marapharm may execute a Notice of Nonresponsibility in substantially the same form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and may record the same within three (3) days of execution of this Lease pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Chapter 108.Tactical Relief further agrees that, at least ten (10) days prior to Tactical Relief entering into a contract with any prime contractor intending to perform alterations, and prior to the commencement of any work of improvement relating to the Premises, Tactical Relief shall comply with the requirements of NRS 108.2403 and NRS 108.2407 regarding posted security and shall notify Marapharm in writing of the name and address of any such prime contractor to enable Marapharm to properly serve the recorded Notice of Nonresponsibility upon the prime contractor pursuant to NRS 108.234.This Section serves as the notice required under NRS Chapter 108.234(3)(e).

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,350,000.00    

 

 March 30, 2021
Las Vegas, Nevada

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Allied Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Debtor”), hereby promises to pay to Marapharm Las Vegas LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Holder”), or its successors or permitted assigns, in lawful currency of the United States of America, the aggregate principal sum of One Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,350,000.00) (the “Principal”) plus accrued Interest as provided herein. This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the provisions of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of March __, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Holder and Allied US Products, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Buyer”). Initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. This Note is subject to the following terms:

 

1. Payment Terms.

 

(a) Interest. Interest (“Interest”) shall accrue on the Principal outstanding from time to time at a per annum rate equal to the Short Term Applicable Federal Rate of 0.11%.Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year and actual days elapsed.

 

(b) Late Payment Charge. If any payment is not received by Holder within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Debtor shall be charged a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the scheduled payment.

 

(c) Payments of Principal and Interest. Debtor shall remit to Holder, on a quarterly basis, no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Net Operating Income (as defined below) that Debtor or any of its affiliates receive in connection with the operation of Debtor’s or its affiliate’s cannabis cultivation, marketing, and sales facility generally located at 13435 Apex Harbor Lane, North Las Vegas, 89124 (the “Facility”).Such amounts shall be paid to Holder on or before the thirtieth day of each month immediately following the end of each calendar quarter (April 30th, July 30th, October 30th, and January 30th).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, as both Debtor and Holder prepare quarterly financials, payments will be reconciled and paid on a quarterly basis to reduce the time and cost of financial reconciliation if this was done monthly.All of the outstanding Principal and accrued Interest thereon shall be due and payable on the second anniversary of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).“Net Operating Income” is defined as the total revenue made from the proceeds of sale of any products from the Facility (with the exception of products from Columbia) minus operating expense payments (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include any and all fees reimbursed to Marapharm under the Services Agreement), as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied; provided, however, that in computing Net Operating Income, total revenue will not be reduced for amortization, depreciation, taxes, or interest.The Facility’s Net Operating Income shall be mutually determined by Marapharm and Buyer acting reasonably and in good faith, and a transparent accounting will be conducted and any items can be challenged.

 

 
1

 

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note shall become due and payable together with accrued but unpaid interest upon a Change of Control. For purposes of this Note, “Change of Control” means the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Debtor or Buyer with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than a majority of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by person(s) who were not holders of a majority of Debtor’s or Buyer’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization; or the sale, transfer, or other disposition of (but not the creation of a mere security interest in) all or substantially all of Debtor’s or Buyer’s assets. A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of Debtor’s or Buyer’s organization, convert Debtoror Buyer into a different form of entity, or to create a holding company, so long as Debtor, Buyer, and/or holding company, as the case may be, will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Debtor’s or Buyer’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

 

(e) Application of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Note, each payment made under this Note shall be applied (i) first to any late payment charge, (ii) then to any accrued but unpaid Interest, and (iii) thereafter to Principal.

 

(f) Method of Payment. All payments to Holder under this Note shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Holder.

 

2. Prepayment. Debtor may, at any time during the term hereof, prepay this Note either in its entirety or in part, without penalty or premium.

 

3. Default. The following events shall be considered an Event of Default (each, an “Event of Default”) under this Note:

 

A. If the Debtor:

 

(1) shall commence any proceeding or any other action relating to it in bankruptcy or seek reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of its debts, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, composition or any other relief under the United States Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any other insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or any other similar act or law, of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing;

 

(2) shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature in any petition or pleading in connection with any such proceeding;

 

(3) shall apply for, or consent to or acquiesce in, an appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee or similar officer for it or for all or substantially all of its assets and property;

 

(4) shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

 

(5) shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature.

 

 
2

 

 

B. If any proceedings are involuntarily commenced or any other action is taken against the Debtor in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of its debts, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, composition or any other relief under the United States Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any other insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or any other similar act or law, of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing; or a receiver, conservator, trustee or similar officer for the Debtor or for all or substantially all of its assets and properties is appointed; and in each such case, such event continues for ninety (90) days undismissed, unbounded and undischarged.

 

C. A default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder.

 

D. Debtor or its affiliate has defaulted under either the Land Lease or the Services Agreement, failed to cure such breach (if applicable), and Holder is entitled to terminate the Land Lease or Services Agreement, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the respective agreement.

 

E. The default by Debtor on any obligation concerning the borrowing of money that could impair the Holder’s ability to collect all amounts payable hereunder.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder may, at its election, declare the entire balance of the Principal and accrued Interest immediately due and payable. A delay by Holder in exercising any right of acceleration after an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default or of the right of acceleration of any other right or remedy for such Event of Default. The failure by Holder to exercise any right of acceleration after an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy in the event of any other or subsequent Event of Default.

 

In addition to all rights and remedies available to Holder in the Event of Default, in the event that any amount due hereunder is not paid when due, the amount due will begin to bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%).

 

4. No Waiver. No act of commission or omission by Holder shall be deemed to waive any of Holder’s rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Holder of one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy on any subsequent event. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, Debtor waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of balloon payment, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of interest on interest and late charges, notice of balloon payment, diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or to assets or properties securing payment of this Note. Debtor further waives exhaustion of legal remedies, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to any demand on this Note, to any agreement to pay the same, to any demands secured by any guaranty of this Note or any other security for this Note.

5. Governing Law; Venue For Disputes. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would require the application of any other law. For purposes of any proceeding involving this Note, each of Holder and Debtor hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and of the United States having jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada, and agrees not to raise and waives any objection to or defense based upon personal jurisdiction or the venue of any such court or based upon forum non conveniens.

 

6. Waiver of Jury Trial.Each of Holder and Debtor acknowledge and agree that any controversy which may arise under this Note is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such 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 Note.

 

7. Attorney’s fees. If any party commences an action against another party to interpret or enforce any terms of this Note, or because of the other party’s breach of any provision in this Note, or an action arising out of and/or in connection with rights and/or obligations set forth in this Note, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, court costs and other costs of action incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, whether or not the action is prosecuted to a final judgment.

 

8. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision in this Note to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this Note. In such event, the invalid provision shall be deemed severed therefrom and the remainder of this Note shall remain enforceable in accordance with its terms and of full force and effect.

 

9. Construction and Interpretation. The Section headings contained in this Note are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this Note. As used in this Note, unless otherwise provided to the contrary, (i) all references to days, months or years shall be deemed references to calendar days, months or years and (ii) any reference to a “Section” shall be deemed to refer to a section of this Note. The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Note refer to this Note as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Note. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive, and the term “including” (and related term, “include”) shall not be deemed to limit the language preceding such term, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words, “without limitation”. This Note shall be considered for all purposes as having been prepared through the joint efforts of Debtor and Holder. No presumption shall apply in favor of either such party in the interpretation of this Note or in the resolution of any ambiguity of any provision hereof based on the preparation, substitution, submission or other event of negotiation, drafting or execution hereof.

 

10. Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Holder’s rights and Debtor’s obligations under this Note shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of Holder and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the successors and assigns of Debtor. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Note shall be construed to give any person or entity other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Note, except such rights as shall inure any successor or permitted assign of either party pursuant to this Section 10.

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications permitted or required to be given hereunder must be given, an shall be deemed duly given, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

12. Dates and Times. Dates and times set forth in this Note for the performance of Debtor’s obligations hereunder or for the exercise of Holder’s rights hereunder shall be strictly construed, time being of the essence of this Note. All provisions in this Note which specify or provide a method to compute a number of days for the performance, delivery, completion or observance by Debtor or Holder of any action, covenant, agreement, obligation or notice hereunder shall mean and refer to calendar days, unless otherwise expressly provided. Except as expressly provided herein, the time for performance of any obligation or taking any action under this Note shall be deemed to expire at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the last day of the applicable time period provided for herein. If the date specified or computed under this Note for the performance, delivery, completion or observance of a covenant, agreement, obligation or notice by Debtor or Holder, or for the occurrence of any event provided for herein, is a day other than a business day, then the date for such performance, delivery, completion, observance or occurrence shall automatically be extended to the next business day following such date.

 

13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Note and the applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Land Lease, and the Services Agreement constitute the entire and final agreement and understanding of Holder and Debtor with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, covenants, representations, understandings and communications between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof are superseded by this Note and such applicable provisions of such other agreements. This Note may not be amended without the written approval of Holder and Debtor.

 

14. Execution of Note. This Note may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

3.1 Designate one of its employees or agents to serve as its primary contact with respect to this Agreement and to act as its authorized representative with respect to matters pertaining to this Agreement (the “Customer Contract Manager”), with such designation to remain in force unless and until a successor Customer Contract Manager is appointed.

4. Fees and Expenses

 

4.1 In consideration of the provision of the Services by Service Provider and the rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, Customer shall pay the expense reimbursements set forth in this Section 4:

 

(a) Customer shall advance to Service Provider the amount set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which amount reflects the funds that Service Provider will need to commence the provision of the Services.  Such amounts shall be advanced by Customer to Service Provider promptly following Customer’s receipt of a written invoice from Service Provider.  In the event the amounts set forth on Exhibit A are insufficient to enable Service Provider to commence the provision of the Services, then Customer and Service Provider agree to work together, acting reasonably and in good faith, to amend Exhibit A to address any shortfall.  Any funds remaining will be applied by Service Provider to offset amounts subsequently incurred by Service Provider and subject to reimbursement by Customer.

4.2 Service Provider shall issue invoices to Customer monthly in arrears for its fees for Labor and Materials for the immediately preceding month, together with a detailed breakdown of any expenses for such month incurred in accordance with Section 4.4.  To the extent reasonably practicable without impacting any preferred pricing or terms available to Service Provider through bulk purchases, Service Provider will cause suppliers and vendors to invoice Customer directly for Customer’s Labor and Materials.  For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall be solely responsible for its own costs, including Customer’s labor, utilities, starting materials, nutrients, and packaging.

 

4.3 Customer agrees to reimburse Service Provider for all actual, documented, and reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Service Provider in connection with the performance of the Services, including the cost of any insurance policies that Service Provider elects to maintain in connection therewith.

4.4 Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder.  Any such taxes, duties, and charges currently assessed or which may be assessed in the future, that are applicable to the Services are for Customer’s account, and Customer hereby agrees to pay such taxes; provided, that in no event shall Customer pay or be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Service Provider’s income, revenues, or gross receipts.

 

4.5 Customer shall pay any and all properly invoiced amounts due to Service Provider upon Customer’s receipt of such invoice.  All payments hereunder shall be in US dollars and made by check or wire transfer.  Except for invoiced payments that Customer has successfully disputed, all late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the rate of 10% per month and (b) the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly.  Customer shall also reimburse Service Provider for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law (which Service Provider does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Service Provider shall be entitled to suspend the provision of any Services if Customer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for five (5) days following written notice thereof.

(a) In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement.

Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, 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.

Nothing in this Agreement shall give Customer the right to instruct, supervise, control, or direct the details and manner of the completion of the Services or activities with respect to the Licenses. 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.

 

13.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the next sentence, this Agreement benefits solely the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING EXHIBITS, SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS, AND APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH 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, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS, SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS OR APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
