X. TERMINATION

 

  A. Termination Rights. This Agreement may be terminated by written notice before Closing:

 

  1. by Buyer if any condition set forth in Section VIII(B) is not satisfied at the time scheduled for Closing or if the satisfaction of any such condition is or becomes impossible, or

 

  2. by Seller if any condition set forth in Section VIII(C) is not satisfied at the time scheduled for Closing or if the satisfaction of any such condition is or becomes impossible;

XI. Non-Competition

In order to induce Buyer to make the acquisitions set forth in this Agreement, Principal, a principal of the Seller, and Seller agreed to enter into a non-competition arrangement with the Buyer. Accordingly, Principal and Seller hereby agree that for the period of three years from and after the Closing Date, neither of them shall, anywhere within the United States of America (or for such lesser area or such lesser period as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a reasonable limitation on the competitive activity of the Seller or Principal), directly or indirectly: (a) engage in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution, or sale of the Products or of products substantially similar to the Products, (b) solicit, or attempt to solicit, business in connection with the foregoing from any parties who are customers of Buyer, (c) otherwise divert, or attempt to divert from Buyer any business relating to the Products or of products substantially similar to the Products; or (d) render any service as a joint venturer, partner, consultant, or otherwise to, or have any interest as a stockholder, partner, member, lender, or otherwise in, any person or entity that is engaged in activities which, if performed by Seller or Principal would violate this Article XI; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Seller or Principal from purchasing or owning up to 5% of the voting securities or interests of any corporation, the securities of which are publicly-traded. In addition to the proscription against competition with Buyer as set forth herein, Seller also agrees that it will not dispose of any equipment or inventory Seller retains to any entitly which is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution, or sale of the Products or of products substantially similar to the Products. Because Buyer would not have adequate remedies at law to protect its business from any breach of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of such a breach or threatened breach thereof by Seller or Principal, and, in

 

122


the event of such breach, in addition to any other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller and/or Principal, payment of, or reimbursement for, its reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in successfully enforcing any of the foregoing.

  H. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party and the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable means to effect the original intent of the parties.

 

  I. Force Majeure. No party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, acts of terrorism, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment.

Neither party shall assert the Statute of Frauds or non-enforceability or invalidity of the Agreement because of facsimile copies being used, and all parties specifically waive and relinquish any such defense.
