The Vendor has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the contracts, agreements and instruments required by this Agreement to be delivered by it, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, provided that the Vendor obtains the requisite approval at the Vendor Meeting for the sale of the Purchased Assets.

(3)Authorization.

(4)Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Vendor and (assuming due execution and delivery by the other Parties) is a legal, valid and binding obligation of it enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as that enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and except that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the contracts, agreements and instruments required by this Agreement to be delivered by it will at the Closing have been duly executed and delivered by it and (assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto) will at Closing be enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as that enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and except that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

No receiver or interim receiver has been appointed in respect of it or any of its undertakings, property or assets (including any of the Purchased Assets) and no execution or distress has been levied on any of its undertakings, property or assets (including any of the Purchased Assets), nor have any proceedings been commenced in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

(7)Absence of Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Vendor and the completion of the Transactions will not (whether after the passage of time or notice or both) result in:

 

(a)the breach or violation of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or give any Person the right to seek or cause a termination, cancellation, amendment or renegotiation of any Contract to which it is a party or by which any of its undertakings, property or assets (in the case of the Vendor, including the Purchased Assets and the Ehave Connect Business) is bound or affected;

(d)the requirement of any Approval from any of its creditors.

 

(8)Conduct of Business. The Vendor is conducting the Ehave Connect Business in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

The Vendor holds the entire right, title and interest in and to all of the Owned Intellectual Property, free of all Encumbrances, and has the exclusive and unfettered right to use the Owned Intellectual Property, except to the extent the Vendor has licensed others to use the Owned Intellectual Property pursuant to Contracts listed in Schedule 5.1(12)(a). The Owned Intellectual Property is valid and the rights of the Vendor in the Owned Intellectual Property are enforceable. All registrations and applications for registration of the Owned Intellectual Property are in good standing, have been filed in a timely manner within the appropriate offices to preserve the rights thereto and assignments have been recorded in favour of the Vendor.

The Licensed Intellectual Property is used by the Vendor with the consent or license from the rightful owner thereof, and all necessary consents and licences relating to the Licensed Intellectual Property are in good standing, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and no default exists on the part of the Vendor thereunder, and none of those consents and licenses requires prior approval of any transfer or assignment to remain in force and effect. No consents are required in order for the Licensed Intellectual Property to be licensed or sub- licensed to the Vendor except as set out in Schedule 5.1(12)(b). The Vendor is not in material default or breach of any license agreement required to be scheduled on Schedule 5.1(12)(b) and there exists no state of facts which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default or material breach.

(c)To the knowledge of the Vendor and except as set out in the Contracts listed in Schedule 5.1(12)(b), neither the Licensed Intellectual Property nor the Owned Intellectual Property contains embedded computer code that contains any “open source” Software or any code derived from open source Software (in any format or medium whatsoever). To the extent any computer code embedded in any Licensed Intellectual Property or Owned Intellectual Property contains any “open source” software or any code derived from open source software (in any format or medium whatsoever), Vendor warrants that the Licensed Intellectual Property and the Owned Intellectual Property, when used by or on behalf of Purchaser or any Users will not cause any Licensed Intellectual Property or Owned Intellectual Property or any other Software with which it is used to become subject to any free or open source license or require the distribution or disclosure of the source code for Licensed Intellectual Property, Owned Intellectual Property or any Software acquired by or licensed to Purchaser by Vendor.

  

(d)The Business Intellectual Property is all of the Intellectual Property used or required for the proper carrying on of the Ehave Connect Business, as it has been and is now conducted, and in accordance with the current documented plans of the Vendor. No Business Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding order, award, decision, injunction, judgment, decree, stipulation or agreement materially restricting the transfer, use, enforcement or licensing thereof by the Vendor in the operation of the Ehave Connect Business. Except as set out in Schedule 5.1(12)(d), no Business Intellectual Property is subject to any escrow obligations. The Purchaser has the right and authority to use after the Closing Date the Business Intellectual Property in connection with the conduct of the Ehave Connect Business in the manner presently conducted by the Vendor and to the Vendor’s knowledge, Vendor is not subject to any agreement or arrangement containing any covenant or other provision that in any way limits or restricts the ability of Purchaser to register, use, exploit, assert or enforce any Owned Intellectual Property anywhere in the world.

 

(e)To the knowledge of the Vendor, neither the use of the Business Intellectual Property nor the conduct of the Ehave Connect Business has Infringed the Intellectual Property of any other Person. The Vendor has not received any notice that the use of the Business Intellectual Property or the conduct of the Ehave Connect Business Infringes any Intellectual Property of any other Person, and no Proceedings have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Vendor, are pending or threatened, alleging any such infringement.

For the purpose of that investigation, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor the information relied on by the Indemnitee to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with such information as the Indemnitor may reasonably request. If the Parties agree at or prior to the expiry of this 60 day period (or prior to the expiry of any extension of this period agreed to by the Parties) as to the validity and amount of that Direct Claim, the Indemnitor shall immediately pay to the Indemnitee the full amount as agreed to by the Parties of the Direct Claim. For clarity, the Purchaser is deemed to have incurred or suffered Losses as of and from the Closing Date as a consequence of any reduction in the value of the Purchased Assets resulting from an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or any breach or non-fulfillment by the Vendor of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

 

7.8          Waiver. The Indemnitor waives any right it may have to require an Indemnitee to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or to claim payment from any other Person before claiming under the indemnity provided for in this Article 7. It is not necessary for an Indemnitee to incur expense or make payment before enforcing that indemnity.

 

7.9Duty to Mitigate and Subrogation.

 

(1)Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation under Applicable Law of an Indemnitee to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of a breach by an Indemnitor of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnitor under this Agreement or in any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(2)The Indemnitee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, subrogate its rights relating to any Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor and shall make all counterclaims and implead all third Persons as may be reasonably required by the Indemnitor, the whole at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor.

 

7.10Obligation to Reimburse.

 

(1)The Indemnitor shall reimburse to the Indemnitee the amount of any Losses, as of the later of (i) date that the Indemnitee incurs any such Losses and (ii) the date of demand by the Indemnitee, together with interest thereon from that date until payment in full, at the rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate of the Royal Bank of Canada from time to time plus 5%, that payment being made without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to contest the basis of the Indemnitee’s Claim for indemnification.

 

- 51 -

 

 

(2)The amount of any and all Losses under this Article 7 are to be determined net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnitee under insurance policies, indemnities, reimbursement arrangements or similar contracts with respect to those Losses. The Indemnitee shall take all appropriate steps to enforce that recovery. Each Party waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.

 

(3)If an Indemnitee is subject to Tax in respect of the receipt of an amount pursuant to this Article 7, after taking into account any offsetting deduction or tax credit available in respect of the applicable Losses, then the amount payable by the Indemnitor will be increased by an amount (the “Increased Amount”) such that the Indemnitee will be in the same position after paying Tax on the amount received hereunder, including any Taxes payable on the Increased Amount, as the Indemnitee would have been in had the Losses giving rise to that payment not arisen and had that amount not been payable.

 

(4)If any payment (the “Payment”) made pursuant to this Article 7 is subject to GST/HST or is deemed by the ETA or any similar provision of any Applicable Law to be inclusive of GST/HST, the Indemnitor will pay to the Indemnitee, in addition to the Payment, an amount equal to the GST/HST in connection with that Payment and that additional amount.

 

7.11        Exclusivity. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 7 constitute the sole remedy available to the Vendor and the Purchaser to any Claim for breach of covenants, representation, warranty or other obligation or provision of this Agreement or any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement (other than a Claim for specific performance or injunctive relief) and to any and all other indemnities provided in this Agreement or in any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 

7.12        Set-Off. A Party is entitled to set-off any Losses subject to indemnification under this Agreement or in any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement against any other amounts payable by the Party to another party whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

7.13        Trust and Agency. The Purchaser accepts each indemnity in favour of any of the Purchaser Indemnitees that is not a Party as agent and trustee of that Purchaser Indemnitee and may enforce any such indemnity in favour of that Purchaser Indemnitee on behalf of that Purchaser Indemnitee. The Vendor accepts each indemnity in favour of any of the Vendor Indemnitees as agent and trustee of that Vendor Indemnitee and may enforce any such indemnity in favour of that Vendor Indemnitee on behalf of that Vendor Indemnitee.

ARTICLE 8

GENERAL

 

8.1          Confidentiality of Information. The Parties shall at all times treat the Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

 

8.2          Public Announcements. No Party shall make any public statement or issue any press release concerning the Transactions except as agreed by the Parties acting reasonably or as may be necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Party making that disclosure, to comply with the requirements of all Applicable Law. If any public statement or release is so required, the Party making the disclosure shall consult with the other Parties before making that statement or release, and the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree on a text for the statement or release that is satisfactory to the Parties.

 

8.3Disclosure and Consultation.

 

(1)Before any public statement or press release concerning the Transactions, no Party shall disclose this Agreement or any aspect of the Transactions except to its board of directors, its senior management, its legal, accounting, financial or other professional advisors, any financial institution contacted by it with respect to any financing required in connection with the Transactions and counsel to that institution, or as may be required by any Applicable Law or as agreed by the Parties.

 

(2)The Vendor and the Purchaser shall consult with each other concerning the manner by which the Vendor’s Employees, customers, suppliers and other Persons having dealings with the Vendor shall be informed of the Transactions, and the Purchaser shall have the right to be present for any such communication.

 

8.4          Expenses. Each Party shall pay all expenses (including Taxes imposed on those expenses) it incurs in the authorization, negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees and expenses of its legal counsel, bankers, investment bankers, brokers, accountants or other representatives or consultants. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Vendor shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Fairness Opinion.

 

8.5          Best Efforts. In this Agreement, unless specified otherwise, an obligation of any Party to use its best efforts to obtain any Approval does not require the Party to make any payment to any Person for the purpose of procuring the Approval, except for payments for amounts due and payable to that Person, payments for incidental expenses incurred by that Person and payments required by any Applicable Law.

 

8.6          No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as provided for in Section 7.13, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and no third party accrues any benefit, claim or right of any kind pursuant to, under, by or through this Agreement.

 

- 53 -

 

 

8.7          Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other agreements to be entered into as contemplated by this Agreement (the “Other Agreements”) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Other Agreements and supersede all prior correspondence, agreements, negotiations, discussions and understandings, written or oral. Except as specifically set out in this Agreement or the Other Agreements, there are no representations, warranties, conditions or other agreements or acknowledgements, whether direct or collateral, express or implied, written or oral, statutory or otherwise, that form part of or affect this Agreement or the Other Agreements or which induced any Party to enter into this Agreement or the Other Agreements. No reliance is placed on any representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made either prior to, concurrently with, or after entering into, this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any amendment or supplement hereto or thereto, by any Party to this Agreement or any Other Agreement or its Representatives, to any other Party or its Representatives, except to the extent the representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact has been reduced to writing and included as a term in this Agreement or that Other Agreement, and none of the parties to this Agreement or any Other Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement or any Other Agreement or any amendment or supplement by reason of any such representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. There is no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to the representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except as contemplated in this Section.

 

8.8          Non-Merger. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties set out in this Agreement do not merge but survive Closing and, notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation by or on behalf of a Party, continue in full force and effect. Closing does not prejudice any right of one Party against another Party in respect of any remedy in connection with anything done or omitted to be done under this Agreement.

 

8.9Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

 

8.10       Amendment. This Agreement may be supplemented, amended, restated or replaced only by written agreement signed by each Party.

 

8.11       Waiver of Rights. Any waiver of, or consent to depart from, the requirements of any provision of this Agreement is effective only if it is in writing and signed by the Party giving it, and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement operates as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any such right precludes any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

 

8.12        Jurisdiction. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province of Ontario sitting in Toronto in respect of all disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with it or derived from it.

 

8.13        Governing Law. This agreement is governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in the Province of Ontario, excluding the choice of law rules of that province.

If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement or its application to any Party or circumstance is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, that provision will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of that restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, without affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction and, if applicable, without affecting its application to the other Parties or circumstances. The Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is so restricted, prohibited or unenforceable with an unrestricted and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the restricted, prohibited or unenforceable provision which it replaces.
