SECTION 2.4. Payment of Sales and Transfer Taxes. Each of Seller and the Purchaser shall pay one half of any and all sales, use or other transfer taxes payable by reason of the transfer and conveyance of the Assets hereunder.

SECTION 2.5.           Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller's rights under any contract or permit constituting a portion of the Asset, or any other Asset, may not be assigned to the Purchaser without the consent of another person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair the Purchaser’s rights under the Asset in question so that the Purchaser would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Asset, shall act after the Closing as the Purchaser’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Asset, with the Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.2(d) hereof unless and until the Purchaser either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.

Purchaser shall pay Sellers for all credit card receipts in transit, royalty and delivery receivables, security deposits, and Purchasers pro rata share of utilities charges and prepaid insurance and property taxes as of 11:59 PM on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Purchaser also shall pay Sellers for food inventory in an amount equal to the total value of these items on Seller's February 28, 2015 balance sheet and for small wares inventory in an amount equal to $5,000 for each store location owned by Sellers. Promptly after Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall collectively account for each of these items, list the amounts owed to and/or due from each party, and arrive at a net total (the “Working Capital Settlement”) to be paid or received from the other party. This Working Capital Settlement shall be paid by the owing party to the receiving party as soon as practicable after Closing.
