(ii)give effect to the Music Business Carve-out as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Music Business Carve-out Notice by complying with their respective obligations under the Separation Plan;

 

(b)the Separation Plan shall detail:

(v)any day 1 gaps in business continuity of the Music Business where a TSA will not be provided.

 

(c)the Parties shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to procure that the Separation is achieved by the date upon which the TSA expires;

 

(d)where the Separation Plan identifies that TSAs will be required following the Music Business Carve-out Completion, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith such TSAs as are needed to address any such interdependencies while ensuring the Anghami Group and its underlying businesses (other than the Music Business) continue to operate substantially in the same manner as operated immediately prior to Music Business Carve-out Completion;

 

(e)the Parties shall (x) engage in good faith to exchange information regarding the status and the implementation of the Music Business Carve-out and (y) appoint at least one representative per Party to oversee implementation of the Separation Plan, negotiation of the definitive documentation to implement the Music Business Carve-out, including the TSAs, and coordinate any such information exchange until the Music Business Carve-out Completion; and
