Seller will work in good faith with Buyer to transfer Seller’s Rx Data to Buyer in the most effective, efficient, and secure manner. Seller shall fully cooperate and assist Buyer, commencing as of the date hereof, in Buyer’s efforts to convert or transfer Seller’s Rx Data, using such means and efforts as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

Following Buyer’s determination of liability on account of Seller’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder, Buyer shall deduct
2



from the Holdback Amount an amount equal to the damages suffered or incurred and either retain such amount for its own account or make payments directly to the appropriate party. Within thirty (30) days after six (6) months following the Date of Inventory, Buyer shall pay to Seller, the remaining Holdback Amount, if any, minus any amounts held in respect of pending, disputed, or otherwise unpaid claims for damages.

(b)Compliance with Laws. Seller will duly comply with all laws applicable to its business, the Stores and the Assets.

(d)     Maintenance of Insurance. Seller will maintain all of the insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof unless replaced by policies which are substantially comparable to such policies.

    (e)    Notification.

Any notice given pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall not operate to cure any breach of the representations and warranties made by Seller herein or in any Exhibits or Schedules hereto.

4.    AUDIT; PHYSICAL INVENTORY; CLOSING.

    (a)     Store Closings. On the evening prior to the applicable Date of Inventory, Seller shall close the applicable Store to the general public and the applicable Store shall remain closed thereafter. Seller shall, within sixty (60) days of the applicable Date of Inventory, remove all interior and exterior signage in reference to the applicable Store and all pharmacy-related fixtures, furniture, millwork and equipment. The terms and provisions of this Section 4(a) shall survive Closing.
    (b)     Audit. Buyer shall have the right to conduct one or more audits of Seller’s business and operations in the Stores prior to the first Date of Inventory (each an “Audit”). The parties shall mutually agree on a time and date for the Audit(s). If the Audits reveal that the aggregate average number of prescriptions per week from all Stores in the aggregate as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Aggregate Prescription Average”) for the last four (4) week period prior to the Audit has declined by more than five percent (5%) below the Aggregate Prescription Average, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to proportionately reduce the Non-Inventory Purchase Price based on the percent decline in prescription volume greater than five percent (5%); provided, however, that any such Audit will account for the national holiday on January 16, 2023 by incorporating the daily average volume as indicated on the bottom of Exhibit A for such date. As an example of a reduction in Non-Inventory Purchase Price described herein, if an Audit reveals that the aggregate average prescription volume for the Stores is 8,230 (or ten percent (10%) prescriptions less than the Aggregate Prescription Average), the Non-Inventory Purchase Price shall be reduced by five percent (5%). It is agreed that no new lines of pharmacy and non-pharmacy inventory or additional inventory (other than everyday inventory) shall be ordered or reordered following an Audit. Upon demand, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with invoices of all brand name and generic name prescription drugs for the (6) months prior to the Date of Inventory. Upon request by Buyer in connection with any Audit, which request may be made on one or more occasions on or prior to the Date of Inventory, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a detailed statement setting forth any prescriptions transferred from the Store to other pharmacies for the dates specified in Buyer’s request. Each such statement shall (i) be de-identified of any patient specific information, (ii) include the location to which the prescriptions were transferred and the number and types of prescriptions so
6



transferred, (iii) be certified in writing as true and accurate by an authorized representative of Seller, and (iv) otherwise be in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

    (c)    Date of Inventory. A physical count and valuation of the Inventory at the Stores shall be taken on the respective dates set forth on Exhibit A, provided Buyer may extend such date on one or more occasions by written notice (email being sufficient) to Seller up to and including the Outside Date (as defined below) (the date on which such physical inventory count is actually taken is referred to herein as the “Date of Inventory”). Prior to the commencement of the physical inventory count, Seller shall reverse and return all filled and undelivered prescriptions at the Stores to stock in accordance with applicable governmental regulations, laws and requirements, providing all necessary notice to any third-party payors, reversing any adjudicated claims made in respect of such prescriptions, and shall provide Buyer with a list of such prescriptions so that Buyer is prepared to fill such prescriptions after the Closing. RGIS Inventory Service and/or any other independent firm selected by Buyer (the “Inventory Service”) shall conduct the physical inventory, at Buyer’s expense, using the categories and cost factors listed in the Inventory Instructions. Seller and Buyer shall each arrange to have its personnel present at each Store on each Date of Inventory, who shall monitor and assist in same. If for any reason a Date of Inventory has not occurred by February 28, 2023 (the “Outside Date”), and provided that Buyer has not breached its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and, upon any such termination, both parties shall be released of all future liabilities or obligations hereunder, other than any liabilities or obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, and provided, however, that no such termination notice shall be effective if Buyer is in default of the terms hereof.

    (d)     Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place by facsimile or .pdf transmission of documents including counterpart signature pages effective immediately upon completion of the physical inventory count at such Store on the applicable Date of Inventory, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 6. Possession and control of the Assets, and the risk of loss or damage to the Assets, shall be transferred to Buyer upon the Closing. No later than three (3) business days following the applicable Date of Inventory (the “Date of Payment”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price allocable to such Store as set forth on Exhibit A (less any amounts paid directly to Seller’s secured creditors and subject to the Holdback Amount) by wire transfer to an account to be supplied by Seller; provided, however, that 50% of the Holdback Amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price payable with respect to the first Date of Inventory and 50% of the Holdback Amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price payable with respect to the second Date of Inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder until all conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations hereunder have been satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer. By execution of this Agreement, Seller agrees to the manner and form of payment described in this paragraph and that Buyer, upon making said payment in said manner and form, shall conclusively be deemed to have fulfilled its payment obligations hereunder.

    (e)     Creditor List and Payoff Letters. Seller represents and warrants that a complete and accurate list of all secured creditors which have or may have any interest in the Assets is attached hereto as Schedule 3(c), and that such list contains the names of all such secured creditors (including, without limitation, the names of any persons who may assert claims against
7



the Assets even though the claim(s) may be disputed). On or before the initial Date of Inventory, as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder, Buyer shall have received from Seller an updated creditor list and evidence of the release of all liens, security interests and other encumbrances encumbering any of the Assets, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, any UCC-3 Termination Statements or Amendments, pay-off letters or similar documents required by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payment of the Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller or, at Buyer’s option, paid directly to Seller’s secured creditors. Seller represents, warrants and covenants that, as of the Closing, Seller's creditors will be paid in full and all of the Assets shall be free and clear of any and all security interests, liens and other encumbrances, including, without limitation, those set forth on Schedule 3(c). Should Seller, for whatever reason, fail to pay its creditors and should said creditors then proceed in any manner against Buyer and/or the Assets, and should Buyer suffer any loss as a result of the actions of Seller's creditors, then Buyer shall have, without limiting any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, the right to deduct any such losses directly from the Holdback Amount or any payments to be made to Seller or Equity Holder according to the terms of this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.

(f)     Forwarding of Funds. Buyer agrees to forward to Seller any sums of money received by Buyer for pharmacy services rendered by Seller prior to the applicable Date of Inventory. Seller agrees to forward to Buyer any sums of money received by Seller for pharmacy services rendered by Buyer following the applicable Date of Inventory.

    (o)    Insurance. Seller is insured with responsible insurers (including, without limitation, general liability insurance coverage covering the Assets) against risks normally insured against by similar businesses under similar circumstances.

    (p)    Prohibited Persons and Transactions. Neither Seller nor Equity Holder (i) is a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action, and (ii) has been convicted, pleaded nolo contendere, indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

(q)     Real Estate. Seller or its affiliate is the sole tenant under each of the lease agreements described on Schedule 5(q) attached hereto (each, an “Existing Lease” and, collectively, the “Existing Leases”), pertaining to each Store. Seller has delivered correct and complete copies of the Existing Leases to Buyer. The Existing Leases are in full force and effect and neither Seller nor the applicable landlord is in breach of or default under any Existing Lease and no event has occurred which, with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a breach or default by any party thereunder. Seller represents that the term of each Existing Lease expires on the date set forth on Schedule 5(q). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall cause its tenancy, or its affiliate’s tenancy as the case may be, under each of the Existing Leases to be maintained through the Date of Inventory for the applicable Store.

The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect thereafter.

15



    (b)     Consideration. Seller and Equity Holder each acknowledge that he/she/they/it will receive substantial benefit from the purchase of the Assets hereunder and that the purchase of the Assets hereunder shall be deemed to be good and sufficient consideration for said covenant not to compete. Seller and Equity Holder acknowledge and agree that (i) the foregoing covenants are a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and Buyer is doing so in reliance upon each of Seller and Equity Holder agreeing to be bound by such covenants; and (ii) in light of such reliance, the amount allocated herein is not intended by the parties as a measure of damages that might be incurred by Buyer in the event of a breach of any such covenant.

    (c)     Remedies.

The terms and provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing.

9.     ACCESS TO INFORMATION.

(a)    PHI.     After the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Protected Health Information (as defined hereinafter) that is part of Seller’s Rx Data available for access to patients and disclosure to other authorized third parties in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by Subtitle D of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, Title XIII of Division A and Title IV of Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. No. 111-5) (the “HITECH Act”) and the federal regulations (“HIPAA Rules”) published at 45 CFR parts 160 and 164 and any applicable state privacy and security laws regarding individually identifiable health information and other applicable laws. For the purposes of this Agreement, Protected Health Information shall have the same meaning as such term is defined in 45 CFR 160.103. Seller acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not assume any legal obligations or liabilities of Seller under the HIPAA Rules relating to any uses and disclosures of Protected Health Information made prior to the Closing. All inquiries, including those relating to patient rights or the Seller’s obligations under the HIPAA Rules relating to any uses and disclosures of Protected Health Information made prior to the Closing shall be forwarded to Seller or its designated agent for handling. For a period of six (6) years after Closing, Seller shall maintain HIPAA records as required by HIPAA Rules and can be contacted at the notice address set forth on Page 1 hereof with respect to any inquiries related thereto.

Following Closing, Seller and Buyer each shall preserve in accordance with the applicable record keeping requirements and regulations of Medicare, Medicaid, the FDA, the DEA and state pharmacy boards in jurisdictions that Seller and Buyer conduct business all records possessed by such party relating to the business at the Stores prior to the Closing. To the extent permitted in accordance with the HIPAA Rules and other applicable laws, Buyer hereby agrees to make available to Seller, in a form reasonably determined by Buyer, copies of Seller’s Rx Data transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement if, after the Closing and for a legitimate business reason, Seller requires copies of such Seller’s Rx Data.

To the extent Seller retains or is given access to Seller’s Rx Data, Seller agrees to hold all such documentation and information in confidence and to take commercially reasonable measures to prevent any unauthorized disclosures thereof. Seller further agrees that it will not use Seller’s Rx Data for any purpose after Closing except as required by law, in connection with pending litigation, or the resolution of third party claims. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its affiliates will solicit, whether by mail, internet or any other means, any of the patients whose records are being transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that Seller is requested or required by law, subpoena, court order, or other similar legal process to disclose all or any portion of Seller’s Rx Data transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Seller may make such disclosure, provided it will provide Buyer with prompt written notice thereof.

The terms and provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the Closing.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may comply with the requirements of applicable bulk sales laws or any other laws with respect to the protection of creditors or successor tax liability (collectively, “Bulk Sales Laws”). Seller will cooperate with Buyer to provide any information necessary to comply with applicable Bulk Sales Laws. In the event that Buyer receives notice that Seller owes any unpaid amounts, is scheduled for a review, or is under an audit with respect to any bulk sales tax or other payment, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, delay the Closing until Buyer receives evidence satisfactory to Buyer that such amounts have been paid or such review or audit has been completed, or withhold any amounts from the Purchase Price required to be withheld by the applicable governmental authorities until Buyer receives authorization from such authorities to release such amounts.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer does not assume any of Seller’s obligations or liabilities with respect to any applicable Bulk Sales Laws, including, without limitation, any obligations or liabilities of Seller which may pass to Buyer due to Seller’s non-compliance with any Bulk Sales Laws, and Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer
18



harmless from and/or reimburse Buyer for, any and all claims, liabilities or obligations, including the expense of defense thereof, which Buyer may suffer or incur by virtue of such Bulk Sales Laws, including, without limitation, any and all claims, liabilities or obligations, including the expense of defense thereof, arising from any noncompliance with any such Bulk Sales Laws.

12.     EMPLOYMENT.

    (a)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer, Seller and Equity Holder agree that Buyer has not offered any terms of employment to any employees of Seller or its affiliates as consideration for the sale contemplated herein.  Buyer may (but is under no obligation to) hire certain employees (collectively, the “Eligible Employees”), provided such employees meet Buyer’s standards for similarly situated employees and subject to satisfactory completion of Buyer’s standard hiring process and procedures (including, without limitation, drug and background checks). The parties acknowledge that Buyer shall be free to exercise full discretion in applying its customary standard hiring practices, processes, procedures and policies. It is agreed that in the event that any Eligible Employees of Seller shall be employed by Buyer as the result of the Closing of the transaction contemplated herein, then each such individual Eligible Employee of Seller shall be an “employee-at-will” of Buyer, and Buyer shall have no contractual obligation with regard to such employment, except that, for purposes of the participation of any such hired Eligible Employees in the Buyer’s 401(k) and applicable welfare plans, the Buyer shall cause such plans to take into account, for purposes of eligibility thereunder, the pre-Closing service of such Eligible Employees as if such service was with Buyer or its Affiliates to the same extent such service was recognized by the Seller immediately prior to the Closing under the comparable Seller benefit plan, in all cases to the extent allowed under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other applicable law.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein the contrary, Buyer is not assuming any liability or obligations related to any of Seller’s employees, terminated employees or other employees of Seller or related to the Store, including, without limitation: (i) any accrued salaries, wages, vacation, payroll Taxes, retirement plan payables, liability for any U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claim, wage and hour claim, unemployment compensation claim or workers’ compensation claim or personnel policy, or any lawsuit, putative or pending, arising from events occurring or conditions existing on or prior to the Closing; (ii) any obligation to offer them continued employment, further leave, reinstatement or reassignment or to offer them or their qualified beneficiaries the opportunity to elect health care continuation coverage, compensation and other benefits, any obligation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), vacation or sick time, payroll Taxes, leave of absences (e.g., FMLA benefits), retirement plan payables and any liabilities or obligations with respect to any Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit or retirement plan or policy or any liabilities or obligations arising from the termination or liquidation of any Benefit Plan; (iii) any liability or potential liability for any claims arising out of any employee’s employment or termination of employment with Seller, including but not limited to, contract, wrongful termination, unfair labor practices, discrimination or retaliation, failure to accommodate, ERISA, wage and hour, FMLA or other protected leave time, tort, unemployment compensation, workers’ compensation, or claim for violation of personnel policy or practice; and (iv) any liability or obligation relating to or arising with respect to any individual acting as an independent contractor of Seller or with respect to the Store or any Benefit Plan, including any liability relating to the termination of such independent contractor relationship, or
19



characterization thereof, on or prior to the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, no Benefit Plan, or obligation or liability related to any Benefit Plan, will be transferred to Buyer or any of its Affiliates or to any plan of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and all such Benefit Plans and related obligations and liabilities will remain with Seller, whether prior to, on or after the Closing, other than to the extent accepted by Buyer after the Closing in its sole and absolute discretion as a qualified rollover. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall maintain its health plan and/or otherwise provide and maintain continuing COBRA coverage to its employees through the maximum COBRA period after the Closing, and will be solely responsible for all wages, benefits, sick leave, vacation or other paid time off accrued, but not yet taken, by its employees and shall pay such amounts to the extent accrued with respect to periods prior to the Closing as of the Closing, and Seller shall comply with all other terms and conditions of employment or the termination thereof with respect to its employees, including any COBRA obligations, and will reimburse and hold harmless the Buyer and its affiliates in respect of any obligations arising out of such terms and conditions.

Seller shall be responsible for any notifications and liability under the WARN Act and any similar state or local Law or regulation relating to “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (in each case as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event with respect to employees who are terminated by Seller on or prior to the Closing (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement).

(d)    It is expressly agreed and understood that neither Buyer nor Seller has any right, power or authority to control, direct or regulate the labor relations and human resources policies and procedures of the other, that neither is deemed to constitute the agent or representative of the other, and that neither is liable in any manner whatsoever for the acts or omissions of the other, its agents, representatives or employees. Seller shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the operation and management of the Stores and the Assets at all times prior to the Closing, for the employment and control of its employees, for compliance with all applicable Laws governing the employment relationship with its employees, and for compliance with the terms of any Benefit Plan.

(e)    No provision of this Section 12 shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or of any of its affiliates in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with Buyer or any of its affiliates and no provision of this Section 12 shall create any such rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established by Buyer or any of its affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify or terminate any such plans or arrangements of Buyer or any of its affiliates.

The terms and provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing.

13.     BROKERS.

20



The parties each represent and warrant to the other that their negotiations relative to this Agreement have been carried on by them directly, and in such a manner as not to give rise to any claims against either party for a brokerage commission, broker’s fee, finder’s fee or other similar fee or payment other than Triavo Health (“Seller’s Broker”). Seller is solely responsible the payment of any fee, commission or other payment due to Seller’s Broker. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer have any liability or obligation with respect to any commission, fees, or expenses of, or any other payment to, Seller’s Broker and Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all claims for said commissions, fees and other payments, including, without limitation, any damages, costs and attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by Buyer related to any such claim. Each party shall defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all other claims for said commissions, fees and other payments based upon its acts, including, without limitation, any damages, costs and attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by the indemnified party related to any such claim. The terms and provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing.
