Maybe not. What does the contract say about survivability in the event of sale? If you are bound by provisions of the contract, the contract itself or another agreement you have signed will detemine applicablility and state what is valid and what is not. Carefully read your agreement and if necessary have an attorney review before you spend money on a new venture or other investment which may be affected by your agreements.
