6.1 Obtaining Consents. Buyer and Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers, if any, from, and give all notices to, and make all declarations, filings and registrations with, any governmental and regulatory agencies and other third parties that are required to consummate or are otherwise related to the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller shall coordinate and cooperate with one another and supply such assistance as may be reasonably requested by each in connection with the foregoing.

6.2 Transfer and Retention of Records. Except as may be required for tax purposes or other regulatory purposes, neither Seller, nor any of its respective successors and assigns, will retain any document, databases or other media embodying any confidential or proprietary information relating to the HIV/AIDS Business or use, publish or disclose to any third person any such confidential or proprietary information relating to the HIV/AIDS business; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to retain copies of any of the foregoing (and have access to the same after the Closing) to the extent necessary in connection with prosecuting or defending any matter not assumed by Buyer or any other appropriate business purpose. Seller shall take all actions requested by Buyer to transfer records relating to Seller’s business to Buyer, which may include making duplicate copies of any records retained by Seller in the form of paper or electronic media.

6.3 Employee Matters. Buyer shall not assume or be responsible in any way for the obligations, liabilities or responsibilities (a) of any Employee Benefit Plan of Seller, (b) of Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any fiduciary under, arising from, or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Seller or (c) to any of Seller's officers, directors, employees and agents, arising from or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall not be deemed to be a successor employer with respect to the employment of any employee of Seller or with respect to any of Seller's Employee Benefit Plans. Buyer shall not be obligated to offer employment to any or all of Seller’s employees.

6.4 Further Assurances. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, at the request and the expense of the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and assumption and take such other action as may be reasonably requested so as to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise to consummate the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will, and will cause its management to, execute management representation letters, forms of which are attached as Exhibit B, reasonably requested by Buyer’s outside auditors in connection with the audit of Seller or otherwise as is required by applicable securities laws.

6.5 Certain Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants that (unless Buyer otherwise gives its written approval in its sole discretion) Seller shall at its sole cost and expense take the actions set forth below:

(a) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Seller shall pay or otherwise discharge (in full, without discount or compromise) all the Excluded Liabilities related to the HIV/AIDS Business.

(b) After the Closing, Seller shall afford Buyer, its attorneys, accountants, consultants and representatives, free and full access to the Acquired Assets and books and records of Seller relating thereto, at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, and shall provide to Buyer and its representatives such additional financial and operating data and other information as Buyer shall from time to time reasonably request.

(c) After the Closing, Seller shall use its best efforts to preserve for Buyer the goodwill of its customers and suppliers, and shall do all things reasonably requested by Buyer for such purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that, after the Closing, certain “walk-in” HIV customers of Seller shall continue to request that Seller fill their prescriptions for HIV/AIDS-related medications. Seller shall advise each such customer of the acquisition by Buyer of the HIV/AIDS Business. In addition, Seller agrees that it shall continue to fill such customers’ prescriptions for HIV/AIDS-related medications out of inventory on hand at the Closing, until such time as Buyer notifies Seller that Seller may no longer sell inventory related to the HIV/AIDS Business.

(d) After the Closing, Seller shall promptly advise Buyer in writing of the commencement or threat against Seller of any suit, litigation or legal proceeding that relates to or might affect the Acquired Assets.

(e) Within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, cause its legal counsel to deliver a legal opinion in customary form, covering the items set forth on Exhibit C.

6.6 Financial Statements. After the Closing, upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall request its accountant to produce and deliver to Buyer, as soon as practicable, compiled financial statements for the HIV/AIDS Business for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the six months ended June 30, 2006. Seller shall request that the accountant use its reasonable efforts to produce them in accordance with GAAP. Seller shall request that such financial statements, when produced and delivered, (i) be prepared from the books and records of Seller, and completely and accurately reflect all financial transactions of Seller related to the HIV/AIDS Business, including, without limitation, the accounts receivable, accounts payable and revenue of Seller for the periods covered by and as at the dates of such financial statements; and (ii) be true and correct, and present fairly the financial condition of the HIV/AIDS Business and the results of its operation for the periods covered by, and as at the dates of, each of such financial statements. In addition, Seller shall request its accountants to assist McGladrey & Xxxxxx in the timely preparation of audited financials for the HIV/AIDS Business. Buyer shall pay to Seller's accountants up to Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) for such services. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has not historically kept separate books and records for the HIV/AIDS Business and its other businesses. For the sake of clarity, Buyer acknowledges that it shall have no claim that Seller has breached its obligations under this Section 6.6 if its accountants or McGladrey & Xxxxxx cannot prepare such financial statements, provided that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist its accountants and McGladrey & Xxxxxx in this regard, including by provided them with access to its books and records and providing such other assistance and cooperation as may from time to time reasonably be requested of Seller by Buyer or such accountants.

ARTICLE VII

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

7.1 Non-Competition. Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge hereby agree that as a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge covenant and agree that it, and each of Seller’s officers, directors and Affiliates, and each of Seller’s Shareholder’s and the Pharmacist-in-Charge’s respective Affiliates and immediate family members, shall not, (a) for the period from the date hereof until five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or in the service of or on the behalf of others, as a director, trustee, owner (except as the owner of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation), employee, consultant, advisor, independent contractor or in any other capacity, engage in the business of operating, within fifty (50) miles of Seller’s present pharmacy in Brooklyn, New York (the “Restricted Territory”) a pharmacy that services or treats, or markets or sells AIDS/HIV products to, AIDS/HIV patients, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.5(c), or (b) for the period from the date hereof until three (3) years following the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, permit a pharmacy that services or treats, or markets or sells AIDS/HIV products to, AIDS/HIV patients to operate at the location of Seller’s present or future pharmacy in Brooklyn, New York, or cooperate with or assist any Person to engage in any such activities, including without limitation by (i) selling or otherwise transferring its business and assets (which may include its real property interest or a license to use same) to any Person that may or is permitted to engage in any such activities and/or (ii) cooperating with or otherwise assisting any other Person to acquire a license to so engage in any such activities. For the sake of clarity, a pharmacy “services or treats, or markets or sells AIDS/HIV products to, AIDS/HIV patients” if it either derives more than one percent (1%) of its revenues from the sale of AIDS/HIV services or products or in any way is marketing its AIDS/HIV services or products specifically to the AIDS/HIV community.

7.2 Non-Interference. Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge further agree that, during the Restricted Period and within the Restricted Territory, Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge will not, directly or indirectly; (a) induce any former customer of or referrer of customers to Seller or customer of or referrer of customers to Buyer to patronize any Person who competes with Buyer; (b) request or advise any former customer of or referrer of customers to Seller or customer of or referrer of customers to Buyer to withdraw, curtail or cancel such Person’s business with Buyer; (c) enter into any contract, the purpose or result of which would benefit such Seller if any former customer of or referrer of customers to Seller or customer of or referrer of customers to Buyer were to withdraw, curtail, or cancel such customer’s or referrer’s business with Buyer; or (d) disclose to any other Person the names or addresses of any former customer of or referrers of customers to the HIV/AIDS Business or customer of or referrers of customers to Buyer, either individually or collectively.

7.3 Acknowledgements. If the provisions of this Article VII are violated, in whole or in part, Buyer shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to restrain and enjoin Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge, and their respective Affiliates, from such violation without prejudice as to any other remedies Buyer may have at law or in equity. In the event of a violation, Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge agree that it would be virtually impossible for Buyer to calculate its monetary damages and that Buyer would be irreparably harmed. If Buyer seeks such temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, Buyer shall not be required to post any bond with respect thereto, or, if a bond is required, it may be posted without surety thereon. If any restriction contained in this Article VII is held by any court to be unenforceable, or unreasonable, as to time, geographic area or business limitation, Buyer, Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge agree that such provisions shall be and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic area or business limitation permitted by applicable laws. The parties further agree that the remaining restrictions contained in this Article VII shall be severable and shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable independently of each other. Seller, Seller’s Shareholder and the Pharmacist-in-Charge specifically acknowledge, represent and warrant that the covenants set forth in this Article VII are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement or paid the Purchase Price in the absence of such covenants. The Pharmacist-in-Charge specifically acknowledges that he is Seller’s Shareholder’s spouse and will benefit financially from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in Articles IV and V of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations.

8.2 Indemnification by Seller and Seller’s Shareholder. Seller and Seller’s Shareholder shall indemnify and save Buyer and its Affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives and all of their successors and assigns (collectively “Buyer Claimants” and individually a “Buyer Claimant”) harmless from and defend each of them from and against any and all demands, claims, actions, liabilities, losses, costs, damages or expenses whatsoever (including any reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, “Losses”) asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Buyer Claimants resulting from or arising out of (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller, Seller’s Shareholder or the Pharmacist-in-Charge contained herein; (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller contained herein; (c) any liability of Seller arising out of events occurring, conditions existing, products sold or activities of Seller; (d) noncompliance with any applicable bulk sales or similar laws (including laws which may impose transferee liability on Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or create Encumbrances on the Acquired Assets relating to Seller's liability for sales, use or other taxes or withholdings arising out of the operations of Seller); and (e) any liability arising out of or related to Seller’s business prior to Closing, or the assertion against a Buyer Claimant of a claim which, if valid, would constitute a liability arising out of or related to Seller’s business prior to Closing.

8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and save Seller and its respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively “Seller Claimants” and individually a “Seller Claimant”) harmless from and defend each of them from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Seller Claimants resulting from or arising out of (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained herein; (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained herein; (c) any liability of Buyer arising out of events occurring, conditions exisiting, products sold or activities of Buyer; and (d) except as described in Section 8.2 above, Buyer's ownership of the Acquired Assets and operation of its business from and after the Closing Date.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The rights and obligations of each party claiming a right to indemnification hereunder (“Indemnitee”) from the other party (“Indemnitor”) shall be governed by the following rules:

(i) The Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor of any state of facts which Indemnitee determines will give rise to a claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor based on the indemnity agreements contained herein, stating the nature and basis of said claims and the amount thereof, to the extent known. No failure to give such notice shall affect the indemnification obligations of Indemnitor hereunder, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such Indemnitor's ability successfully to defend the matter giving rise to the indemnification claim.

(ii) In the event any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnitee, with respect to which the Indemnitor may have liability under the indemnity agreements contained herein, then upon the written acknowledgment by the Indemnitor within thirty (30) days of the bringing of such action, suit or proceeding that it is undertaking and will prosecute the defense of the claim under such indemnity agreements and confirming that the claim is one with respect to which the Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify and that it will be able to pay the full amount of potential liability in connection with any such claim, the action, suit or proceeding (including all proceedings on appeal or for review which counsel for the Indemnitee shall deem appropriate) may be defended by the Indemnitor. However, in the event the Indemnitor shall not offer reasonable assurances as to its financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement, the Indemnitee may assume the defense and dispose of the claim, after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnitee's own expense unless (A) the employment of such counsel and the payment of such fees and expenses both shall have been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded and specifically notified the Indemnitor that there may be specific defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor.

(iii) In addition, in any event specified in clause (B) of the second sentence of subparagraph (ii) above, the Indemnitor, to the extent made necessary by such different or additional defenses, shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee. If Indemnitor and Indemnitee cannot agree on a mechanism to separate the defense of matters extending beyond the scope of indemnification, such matters shall be defended on the basis of joint consultation.

(iv) The Indemnitee shall be kept fully informed by the Indemnitor of such action, suit or proceeding at all stages thereof, whether or not it is represented by counsel. The Indemnitor shall, at the Indemnitor's expense, make available to the Indemnitee and its attorneys and accountants all books and records of the Indemnitor relating to such proceedings or litigation, and the parties hereto agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action, suit or proceeding.

(v) The Indemnitor shall make no settlement of any claims which Indemnitor has undertaken to defend, without Indemnitee's consent, unless the Indemnitor fully indemnifies the Indemnitee for all losses, there is no finding or admission of violation of law by, or effect on any other claims that may be made against, the Indemnitee and the relief granted in connection therewith requires no action on the part of and has no effect on the Indemnitee.
