Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution and shall be binding upon the parties without further adjustment. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by the Tax Preparing Party unless such accounting firm adopts the Tax Preparing Party’s position, and in such case, the costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by the other party.

 

 

(d) Without prior written consent of Purchaser, Sellers (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect or relate to the Company, make, change, or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return, or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of the Purchaser or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers agree that Purchaser is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Sellers, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or otherwise) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and any Related Agreements (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Sellers when due. Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes with respect to any Purchaser Filed Tax Return filed under Section 6.8(b). Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to any Purchaser Filed Tax Return prepared in compliance with this Section 6.8, to the extent not paid at or before the Closing, within five (5) days after the date requested by Purchaser.

 

(e) The parties will provide each other with such reasonable cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request of another in filing any Tax Return or conducting any audit, investigation or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Each such Party will make its employees and representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each such Party will make available all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all other records or documents relating to Tax matters of the Company in their possession or control, including audit reports received from any Tax authority relating to any Tax Return of the Company, until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective Tax periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate. Any non-public information obtained from the Parties under this Section 6.8(e) will be kept confidential, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

 

Section 6.9 Further Assurances. At the Closing and after the Closing Date, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, for no additional consideration, such assignments, deeds, drafts, checks, stock certificates, returns, filings, resignations, and other instruments, agreements, consents and assurances and take or cause to be taken all such actions as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request for the effectual consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Related Agreements.

Section 8.5 Claims.

 

(a) In the case of any third party Action as to which indemnification is sought, the Indemnitor shall, if necessary, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and shall have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (ii) to take all other steps to settle or defend any such Action (provided that the Indemnitor shall not settle any such Action without the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iii) to employ counsel to contest any such Action or liability in the name of the Indemnitee or otherwise. In any event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third party Action. The Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notify the Indemnitee of its intention to assume the defense of such Action. If (i) the Indemnitor shall decline to assume the defense of any such Action, (ii) the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Claim Notice of the Indemnitor's election to defend such Action, (iii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor (in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee), or (iv) a conflict exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded would prejudice the Indemnitor's defense of such Action, then in each such case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall, at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, defend against such Action and (x) in the event of a circumstance described in clause (i) or (ii), the Indemnitee may settle such Action without the consent of the Indemnitor (and the Indemnitor may not challenge the reasonableness of any such settlement) and (y) in the event of a circumstance described in clause (iii) or (iv), the Indemnitee may not settle such Action without the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The reasonable expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of such Actions shall be borne and paid by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and the Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee, in immediately available funds, the amount of any Damages, within a reasonable time of the incurrence of such Damages. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense or negotiation of the settlement of the Action, the parties shall cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith.

 

 

(b) In the event that the Indemnitee incurs Damages other than with respect to a third party Action, then the Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Claim Notice from the Indemnitee, pay to the Indemnitee, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Damages.

 

(c) In the case of any third party Action as to which indemnification is sought, the Indemnitor shall, as promptly as reasonably possible, notify the Indemnitor of the existence of such Action and allow Indemnitor to participate in the defense of any such Action.

(a) by the mutual consent of each of the parties;

(c) by the Sellers or Purchaser following reasonable written notice to the other party based upon the notifying party's determination, supported by an opinion of nationally recognized healthcare and tax legal counsel engaged by the notifying party, that existing or changed Laws applied to this transaction create a substantial likelihood of sanction, prosecution, or assessment (or, in the case of Purchaser, the likelihood of an adverse effect on the status of any of its Affiliates as an exempt organization under the Code). For purposes of this Section 9.1(d), Akerman LLP shall be considered to be nationally recognized healthcare and tax legal counsel.

RECITALS

 

A. Sellers, Purchaser, and Seller Principals have entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of March 30, 2018 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which on the date hereof Purchaser has purchased from Sellers, and Sellers have sold to Purchaser all of the membership interests in Touchpoint Rx, LLC (the "Membership Interests" in the "Company").

 

B. This Noncompetition Agreement is an important aspect of the transaction contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and Purchaser would not consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement absent the execution by Seller Principals of the Noncompetition Agreement. This Noncompetition Agreement is necessary to protect the Company's trade secrets and the patient goodwill that the Company has built over the years in the Territory as defined below.

 

C. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

As an inducement for Purchaser to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration paid thereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of such consideration being hereby acknowledged, Seller Principals, Sellers, and Purchaser, intending to be bound legally, hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENTS

 

1. For a period of three (3) years from the date hereof (the "Term"), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, none of the Sellers, the Seller Principals, nor any Affiliate of the Seller Principals or Sellers will, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, or engage or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a manager, member, director, officer, agent, partner, joint venturer, employee, or otherwise with, any business or organization any part of which engages in the business of pharmacy (each, a "Competing Business") within Palm Beach County, Florida (the "Territory"). The foregoing restrictions shall not be deemed to preclude any Seller or Seller Principal or any Affiliate of any Seller or Seller Principal from holding an employment position with the Company or any other pharmacy owned and operated by Purchaser.

 

2. The parties agree that this Noncompetition Agreement is necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests of Purchaser in purchasing the Membership Interests.

 

3. The parties agree that the scope of this Noncompetition Agreement in time, geography, and types and limits of activities is reasonable.

 

4. Because of the unique nature of the Membership Interests, Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law if any Seller, Seller Principal, or Seller Affiliate breaches this Noncompetition Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser shall be entitled upon application to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek an injunction prohibiting any violations of this Noncompetition Agreement, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies to which Purchaser may be entitled at law or in equity. Sellers and Seller Principals hereby waive and covenant not to assert in any action or proceeding, any claim or defense that there exists an adequate remedy at law for its breach of the Noncompetition Agreement.

 

5. This Noncompetition Agreement is entered into by the Sellers and Seller Principals in consideration of the purchase of the Membership Interests by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The parties understand and agree that no additional compensation shall be paid by Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

6. If this Noncompetition Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad, whether as to activities restricted, the time period of such restrictions or the geographic areas in which such activities are restricted, this Noncompetition Agreement shall nevertheless remain effective, but shall be deemed amended to the extent considered by such court to be reasonable, and shall be fully enforceable as so amended.

 

7. The failure of Purchaser to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Noncompetition Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance of any such term or condition, and the obligations of the Sellers or Seller Principals and any other person bound by this Noncompetition Agreement pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof with respect thereto shall continue in full force and effect.

 

8. All notices, demands, and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be (a) in writing, (b) delivered by personal delivery, or sent by commercial delivery service or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or transmitted by telecopy, (c) deemed to have been given on the date of receipt, and (d) addressed as follows:
