GOODWILL PROTECTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS GOODWILL PROTECTION AGREEMENT is made effective the 26th day of March, 2008, between APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Buyer”) and JEREMY AVANCE, an individual (the “Seller”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Pharmacy Purchase Agreement dated effective March 24, 2008, (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Buyer, the Seller and Newt’s Discount Pharmacy, Inc., the Buyer purchased the Seller’s pharmacy business located in Guthrie, Oklahoma (the “Business”) for a sum in excess of $1,000,000.00;

 

WHEREAS, the Seller has operated the Business for numerous years during which time the Seller has built a strong patronage which is the predicate on which the Seller’s Business is based;

 

WHEREAS, the Seller has partnered with the owner of Professional Discount Pharmacy located at 1900 N. Classen Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73106 (“PD Pharmacy”) which pharmacy is also being purchased by the Buyer at the same time as the Business; and

 

WHEREAS, to induce the Buyer to perform the Purchase Agreement and to protect the goodwill purchased by the Buyer in the Business, the Seller has agreed to execute, deliver and perform this Goodwill Protection Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Noncompetition Covenant.  The Seller agrees as follows:

 

1.1.                              For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s affiliates and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not undertake any plan, program or effort designed or intended to, directly or indirectly, contract or provide, solicit or offer to prepare, dispense or sell at retail any pharmacy, prescription or over the counter drugs or pharmaceuticals (the “Pharmacy Services”) to any person and the family members of any person, or any entity and the affiliates of any entity, who acquired Pharmacy Services within the past five (5) years from the Business.

 

1.2.                              For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s affiliates and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma or Logan County, Oklahoma.

 



 

1.3.                              For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and shareholders and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business within twenty (20) miles of the location of the Business.

 

1.4.                              For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and shareholders and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business within twenty (20) miles of the location of the PD Pharmacy.

 

For purposes of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the term “Pharmacy Business” means:  owning, managing, operating, controlling, engaging in or being connected with as a partner, investor, stockholder, creditor, guarantor, advisor, employee, independent contractor or consultant, the business of offering, soliciting, conducting or providing Pharmacy Services.  The Seller’s employment with the Buyer will not violate the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.             Separate Covenants.  This Goodwill Protection Agreement will be deemed to consist of a series of separate covenants independent from any provision of the Purchase Agreement.  The Seller expressly agrees that the character, duration and geographical scope of this Goodwill Protection Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as existing on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of this Goodwill Protection Agreement is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as then existing or existing at the execution of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, then it is the intention and the agreement of the Seller and the Buyer that this Goodwill Protection Agreement be construed by the court and given effect in such a manner as to impose only the restrictions on the conduct of the Seller which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as then existing and as are necessary to assure the Buyer of the intended benefit of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together such covenants are more extensive than necessary to assure the Buyer of the intended benefit of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties that those covenants not to be enforced in such proceeding will, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof.

 

3.             Periodic Payments.  As additional consideration for the Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to the Seller sixty (60) monthly payments each in the amount of $1,666.66.  The monthly payments will commence on May 1, 2008, and be made on the 1st day of each month thereafter through and including April 1, 2013.  Each such payment will be sent by regular mail to the addresses provided under Paragraph 6.1 of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  The Buyer will be in default if (i) a monthly payment is not delivered to the Seller within five (5) days of its due date and (ii) such payment has not been delivered ten (10) days after the Buyer’s receipt of notice of non-payment.

 

4.             Default by Seller.  If the Seller fails to perform any obligation contained in this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any instrument entered into in connection

 

2



 

therewith, the Buyer will serve written notice to the Seller specifying the nature of such default and demanding performance.  If such default has not been cured within five (5) business days after receipt of such default notice, the Buyer will be entitled to demand specific performance, suspend performance of any obligation under this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any instrument entered into in connection therewith, or exercise all remedies available at law or in equity.  Given the nature of the Pharmacy Business, the parties acknowledge and agree that the goodwill sold by the Seller and purchased by the Buyer cannot be protected if the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement are not strictly enforced.  Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that if there is a breach by the Seller of the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, money damages alone will not be adequate and the Buyer will be entitled to an injunction restraining the Seller from violating the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing and any other remedies available to the Buyer, at law or in equity, in the event the Seller is in default and the Buyer is diligently pursuing a judicial remedy, the periods specified in paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 will be tolled until the conclusion of the judicial action (the “Tolling Period”) and such periods will be automatically extended by the number of days elapsed during the Tolling Period.  The remedies provided by this Goodwill Protection Agreement are cumulative and will not exclude any other remedy to which a party might be entitled under this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  In the event, a party elects to selectively and successively enforce such party’s rights under this Goodwill Protection Agreement, such action will not be deemed a waiver or discharge of any other remedy.

 

5.             Default by Buyer.  If the Buyer defaults in the payments under this Agreement or the Promissory Note delivered to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then (i) the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement will immediately terminate, (ii) the remaining payments due under paragraph 3 will be accelerated and will be immediately due and payable, and (iii) the Seller may exercise all remedies available at law or in equity to collect the remaining balance due.

 

6.             Miscellaneous.  It is further agreed as follows:

 

6.1.                              Notices.  Except as expressly provided herein, any notice, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Goodwill Protection Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and received when delivered personally or by telefacsimile, or on the date following the day sent by overnight courier, or on the third (3rd) business day after the same is sent by certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, directed to the following addresses or to such other or additional addresses as any party might designate by written notice to the other parties:

6.2.                              Severability.  If any clause or provision of this Goodwill Protection Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, the remainder of this Goodwill Protection Agreement will not be affected thereby.  It is the intention of the parties that if any such provision is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there will be added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provisions as is possible and to be legal, valid and enforceable.

 

6.3.                              Entire Agreement.  This Goodwill Protection Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and the other instruments executed in connection therewith, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no agreements, understandings, warranties or representations except as set forth herein.  Neither this Goodwill Protection Agreement nor any of the provisions hereof can be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

 

6.4.                              Attorneys’ Fees.  If any party institutes an action or proceeding against any other party relating to the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the party to such action or proceeding which does not prevail will reimburse the prevailing party therein for the reasonable expenses of attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the prevailing party.

 

6.5.                              Waiver.  Waiver of performance of any obligation or term contained in this Goodwill Protection Agreement by any party, or waiver by one party of the other’s default hereunder will not operate as a waiver of performance of any other obligation or term of this Goodwill Protection Agreement or a future waiver of the same obligation or a waiver of any future default.

 

6.6.                              Assignment.  The Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to: (a) any other entity or person which at any time controls or is under common control with the Buyer, or (b) any entity or person which acquires all or any portion of the Business.

 

4



 

6.7.                              Governing Law.  This Goodwill Protection Agreement will be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, regardless of any applicable principles of conflicts of law.

TRANSITION AGREEMENT

 

This TRANSITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective the 26th day of March, 2008, among APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Buyer”), NEWT’S DISCOUNT PHARMACY, INC., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”) and JEREMY AVANCE, an individual (“Avance” and together with the Company, the “Seller”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Pharmacy Purchase Agreement dated effective March 24, 2008, (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer purchased the Seller’s pharmacy business in Guthrie, Oklahoma, known as “Newt’s Discount Pharmacy” (the “Business”) effective on the date hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, the Seller and the Buyer desire to foster a smooth transition of the Business from the Seller to the Buyer and, in the interests of facilitating such transition, the Buyer desires to use the Seller’s Licenses (as hereinafter defined) to operate the Business for a short period of time after the Closing Date, and the Seller is willing to allow the Buyer to use the Seller’s Licenses to operate the Business for a short period of time after the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and in consideration of the execution and performance of the Purchase Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.             Transition Services.  Commencing at the Time of Transfer and continuing until the termination of this Agreement, the Buyer shall be entitled to utilize, in connection with its operation of the Business and in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the following permits, licenses, registrations or certifications of the Seller related to the Business (collectively, the “Licenses”):

 

2.1.                              Oklahoma Pharmacy License;

 

2.2.                              Oklahoma Narcotics Registration;

 

2.3.                              Drug Enforcement Agency Registration;

 

2.4.                              National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Provider Number; and

 

2.5.                              Credit Card Services.

 

To effect the foregoing authorization, on the Closing Date, the Seller will execute the Limited Power of Attorney in the form attached at Exhibit “A” authorizing the Buyer to act on the Seller’s behalf in connection with the Licenses, and other documents, if any, as may be required or requested by a government agency, including, without limitation, powers of attorney.  In

 



 

addition, during the term of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to keep open the bank accounts used for payments from insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and credit card services (whether one or more, the “Accounts”) and furnish to the Buyer all information regarding the Accounts and payments by third parties to the Accounts so that the Buyer may perform the accounting described in paragraph 5 below.

 

3.             Termination of Right to Use Licenses.  The Buyer’s right to use the Licenses will terminate upon the written notice of either party upon the earlier of:  (a) the issuance to the Buyer of the same types of permits, licenses, registrations or certifications as the Licenses (the “Required Licenses”); or (b) sixty (60) days from the Closing Date; provided, in the event that the Buyer has not obtained the Required Licenses within the required time period, the term of this Agreement and the Power of Attorney will be extended by twenty (20) days if (i) the Buyer has not breached and is not in default of the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any document executed in connection therewith, and (ii) the Buyer is actively seeking and using best efforts to obtain the Required Licenses as promptly as possible.

 

4.             Will Call Prescriptions.  The company performing the Inventory will account for all orders at the Business for prescriptions placed but not paid for prior to the Time of Transfer (“Will Call Prescriptions”) and determine the cash amount owed by customers for Will Call Prescriptions (the “Will Call Receivables”).  On the Closing Date, the Buyer will pay the Seller the amount of the Will Call Receivables.  All Will Call Receivables will be the property of the Buyer.  All other receivables from third parties in connection with the Will Call Prescriptions will be the property of the Seller subject to paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

 

5.             Third Party Receivables.  All accounts receivable generated prior to the Time of Transfer other than the Will Call Receivables (the “Seller Receivables”), will be the property of the Seller.  The Buyer will collect the Seller Receivables on behalf of the Seller and furnish an accounting of all Seller Receivables (reconciled to the transaction generating such Seller Receivables) to the Seller on a monthly basis.  The Buyer will pay the Seller all collected Seller Receivables on a weekly basis.  The Buyer will conduct the foregoing collection, accounting and reconciliation at the Buyer’s expense.  All accounts receivable generated after the Time of Transfer will be the property of the Buyer and the Seller agrees to promptly deliver to the Buyer any such receivables delivered to the Seller.  It is anticipated that all mail addressed to the Seller will be forwarded to the Buyer and that for the first thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will simply forward to the Seller all checks received as payment of the Seller Receivables on a weekly basis.

 

6.             Consulting.  During the term of this Agreement, Avance agrees to provide information reasonably requested by the Buyer regarding the Seller’s and the Business’s operations, arrangements, policies and similar matters, regardless of whether Avance is employed by the Buyer or the Buyer’s agents or affiliates.

 

7.             Indemnification.  The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and the Seller’s partners, employees, agents and affiliated entities (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss, damage, claim, liability, debt, obligation or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of litigation), whether or not actually incurred or paid that the Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of:  (a) any actions or omissions of the Buyer or any employees, agents, representatives or other personnel of the Buyer related to the Business

and the Licenses occurring after the Closing Date; or (b) the parties entering into this Agreement or the Buyer’s use of the Licenses.

 

8.             Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the documents executed in connection therewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties hereto, whether oral or written.

 

9.             Assignment.  This Agreement, and all rights and obligations hereunder, shall not be assignable by any party in whole or in part.

 

10.           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement duly executed by representatives of both parties hereto.

 

11.           Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oklahoma, disregarding conflicts of laws principles which may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

12.           Audit Rights.  The Seller shall have the right, at all times during the term hereof, to monitor, review and audit at the Seller’s expense the accounts, books, records, documents and procedures relating to the Buyer’s performance under this Agreement and use of the Licenses.

 

13.           No Third Party Rights.  This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any parties other than the Seller and the Buyer and no other person shall assert any rights as a third party beneficiary hereunder.

 

14.           Waivers.  Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing.  A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term and condition of this Agreement.

 

15.           Independent Contractor.  By executing this Agreement, the parties intend to create an independent contractor relationship, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make either the Seller or the Buyer a partner, joint venturer, principal, agent or employee of the other, and neither party shall have any right, power or authority, express or implied, to bind the other.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not amend or affect the terms of any other agreements among the parties that may expressly create any of the foregoing relationships.

 

16.           Severability; Partial Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed amended to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable, or if the provision or portion thereof cannot be so amended without materially altering the parties’ intent, the provision or portion thereof shall be stricken, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

3.             Borrower’s Representations and Covenants.  The Borrower hereby warrants, represents and agrees as follows:

There are no consents required in connection with the grant by the Borrower of the security interests in the Property. The Borrower has good right and lawful authority to pledge the Property in the manner hereby done or contemplated. All filings and other actions necessary or appropriate to perfect or protect such security interest will be or have been duly taken.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$400,000.00

 

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

 

 

March 26, 2008

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of NEWT’S DISCOUNT PHARMACY, INC., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Lender”), at 102 W. Noble Avenue, Guthrie, Oklahoma 73044, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Note, the principal sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), together with interest thereon at the rate hereafter specified, payable as follows:

 

The unpaid principal balance of this Note will bear interest from the date of this Note until payment in full at a per annum rate equal to six percent (6.0%).  All interest will be computed as a per diem charge for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be.

 

Provided no uncured default has occurred under this Note, the unpaid principal balance of this Note plus accrued interest thereon will be paid by the Borrower paying to the Lender twelve (12) blended quarterly installments of principal and interest equal to Thirty Six Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Two Dollars ($36,672.00), commencing on June 26, 2008, and on the twenty sixth (26th) day of each successive September, December, March and June thereafter through March 26, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”).  In the event of an adjustment, prepayment or set-off against the unpaid principal balance of this Note, the annual payment will be recalculated to the amount which would fully amortize the unpaid principal balance of this Note on such date, together with accrued interest thereon, over a term ending on the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Each payment will be applied first to the payment of interest on the unpaid principal and the balance, if any, will be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.  The Borrower will have the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, but with interest on the unpaid principal balance accrued to the date of prepayment.

 



 

The Borrower and the Lender also agree that the Borrower’s obligations under this Note may be set-off against any amounts owing to the Borrower under that certain Pharmacy Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated March 24, 2008, among the Borrower, the Lender and affiliates of the Lender, subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement.

 

The Borrower agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the holder’s rights hereunder or under any instrument securing payment of the same, the Borrower will pay to such holder its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses incurred in connection therewith.  This Note is to be construed according to the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

 

This Note is issued subject to the terms of the Agreement.  Payment of this Note is secured by the Financing Documents as more fully described in the Agreement.  If the breach of any provision of this Note is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice by the holder to the Borrower, then on written notice by the holder to the Borrower, the entire unpaid indebtedness evidenced by this Note will become due, payable and collectible then or thereafter as the holder may elect, regardless of the date of maturity of this Note.  Failure by the holder to exercise such option will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default.

 

The makers, endorsers, sureties, guarantors and all other persons who may become liable for all or any part of this Note severally waive presentment for payment and protest.  The foregoing parties consent to any extension of time (whether one or more) of payment hereof, the modification (whether one or more) of payment hereof, release or substitution of all or part of the security for the payment hereof or release of any party liable for payment of this Note.  Any such extension or release may be made without notice to any such party and without discharging such party’s liability hereunder.

 

Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms defined or referenced in the Agreement will have the same meanings herein as therein.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this instrument effective the date first above written.

GOODWILL PROTECTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS GOODWILL PROTECTION AGREEMENT is made effective the 26th day of March, 2008, between APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Buyer”) and GARY NICHOLS, an individual (the “Seller”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Pharmacy Purchase Agreement dated effective March 24, 2008, (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Buyer, the Seller and Pendergraft Drugs, Inc., the Buyer purchased the Seller’s pharmacy business located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Business”) for a sum in excess of $550,000.00;

 

WHEREAS, the Seller has operated the Business for numerous years during which time the Seller has built a strong patronage which is the predicate on which the Seller’s Business is based;

 

WHEREAS, the Seller has partnered with the owner of Newt’s Discount Pharmacy located at 102 W. Noble Ave., Guthrie, OK 73044 (“ND Pharmacy”) which pharmacy is also being purchased by the Buyer at the same time as the Business; and

 

WHEREAS, to induce the Buyer to perform the Purchase Agreement and to protect the goodwill purchased by the Buyer in the Business, the Seller has agreed to execute, deliver and perform this Goodwill Protection Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Noncompetition Covenant.  The Seller agrees as follows:

 

1.1.

 

For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s affiliates and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not undertake any plan, program or effort designed or intended to, directly or indirectly, contract or provide, solicit or offer to prepare, dispense or sell at retail any pharmacy, prescription or over the counter drugs or pharmaceuticals (the “Pharmacy Services”) to any person and the family members of any person, or any entity and the affiliates of any entity, who acquired Pharmacy Services within the past five (5) years from the Business.

 

 

 

1.2.

 

For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s affiliates and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma or Logan County, Oklahoma.

 



 

1.3.

 

For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and shareholders and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business within twenty (20) miles of the location of the Business.

 

 

 

1.4.

 

For the five (5) year period beginning on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Seller, the Seller’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and shareholders and any person receiving a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any Pharmacy Business within twenty (20) miles of the location of the ND Pharmacy.

 

For purposes of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the term “Pharmacy Business” means:  owning, managing, operating, controlling, engaging in or being connected with as a partner, investor, stockholder, creditor, guarantor, advisor, employee, independent contractor or consultant, the business of offering, soliciting, conducting or providing Pharmacy Services.  The Seller’s employment with the Buyer will not violate the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.             Separate Covenants.  This Goodwill Protection Agreement will be deemed to consist of a series of separate covenants independent from any provision of the Purchase Agreement.  The Seller expressly agrees that the character, duration and geographical scope of this Goodwill Protection Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as existing on the date of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of this Goodwill Protection Agreement is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as then existing or existing at the execution of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, then it is the intention and the agreement of the Seller and the Buyer that this Goodwill Protection Agreement be construed by the court and given effect in such a manner as to impose only the restrictions on the conduct of the Seller which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as then existing and as are necessary to assure the Buyer of the intended benefit of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together such covenants are more extensive than necessary to assure the Buyer of the intended benefit of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties that those covenants not to be enforced in such proceeding will, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof.

 

3.             Periodic Payments.  As additional consideration for the Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to the Seller sixty (60) monthly payments each in the amount of $916.66.  The monthly payments will commence on May 1, 2008, and be made on the 1st day of each month thereafter through and including April 1, 2013.  Each such payment will be sent by regular mail to the addresses provided under Paragraph 6.1 of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  The Buyer will be in default if (i) a monthly payment is not delivered to the Seller within five (5) days of its due date and (ii) such payment has not been delivered ten (10) days after the Buyer’s receipt of notice of non-payment.

 

4.             Default by Seller.  If the Seller fails to perform any obligation contained in this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any instrument entered into in connection

 

2



 

therewith, the Buyer will serve written notice to the Seller specifying the nature of such default and demanding performance.  If such default has not been cured within five (5) business days after receipt of such default notice, the Buyer will be entitled to demand specific performance, suspend performance of any obligation under this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any instrument entered into in connection therewith, or exercise all remedies available at law or in equity.  Given the nature of the Pharmacy Business, the parties acknowledge and agree that the goodwill sold by the Seller and purchased by the Buyer cannot be protected if the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement are not strictly enforced.  Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that if there is a breach by the Seller of the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, money damages alone will not be adequate and the Buyer will be entitled to an injunction restraining the Seller from violating the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing and any other remedies available to the Buyer, at law or in equity, in the event the Seller is in default and the Buyer is diligently pursuing a judicial remedy, the periods specified in paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 will be tolled until the conclusion of the judicial action (the “Tolling Period”) and such periods will be automatically extended by the number of days elapsed during the Tolling Period.  The remedies provided by this Goodwill Protection Agreement are cumulative and will not exclude any other remedy to which a party might be entitled under this Goodwill Protection Agreement.  In the event, a party elects to selectively and successively enforce such party’s rights under this Goodwill Protection Agreement, such action will not be deemed a waiver or discharge of any other remedy.

 

5.             Default by Buyer.  If the Buyer defaults in the payments under this Agreement or the Promissory Note delivered to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then (i) the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement will immediately terminate, (ii) the remaining payments due under paragraph 3 will be accelerated and will be immediately due and payable, and (iii) the Seller may exercise all remedies available at law or in equity to collect the remaining balance due.

 

6.             Miscellaneous.  It is further agreed as follows:

 

6.1.

 

Notices.  Except as expressly provided herein, any notice, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Goodwill Protection Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and received when delivered personally or by telefacsimile, or on the date following the day sent by overnight courier, or on the third (3rd) business day after the same is sent by certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, directed to the following addresses or to such other or additional addresses as any party might designate by written notice to the other parties:

It is the intention of the parties that if any such provision is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there will be added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provisions as is possible and to be legal, valid and enforceable.

 

 

 

6.3.

 

Entire Agreement.

6.4.

 

Attorneys’ Fees. If any party institutes an action or proceeding against any other party relating to the provisions of this Goodwill Protection Agreement, the party to such action or proceeding which does not prevail will reimburse the prevailing party therein for the reasonable expenses of attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the prevailing party.

 

 

 

6.5.

 

Waiver. Waiver of performance of any obligation or term contained in this Goodwill Protection Agreement by any party, or waiver by one party of the other’s default hereunder will not operate as a waiver of performance of any other obligation or term of this Goodwill Protection Agreement or a future waiver of the same obligation or a waiver of any future default.

 

 

 

6.6.

 

Assignment. The Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to: (a) any other entity or person which at any time controls or is under common control with the Buyer, or (b) any entity or person which acquires all or any portion of the Business.

TRANSITION AGREEMENT

 

This TRANSITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective the 26th day of March, 2008, among APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Buyer”), PENDERGRAFT DRUGS, INC., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”) and GARY NICHOLS, an individual (“Nichols” and together with the Company, the “Seller”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Pharmacy Purchase Agreement dated effective March 24, 2008, (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer purchased the Seller’s pharmacy business in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, known as “Professional Discount Pharmacy” (the “Business”) effective on the date hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, the Seller and the Buyer desire to foster a smooth transition of the Business from the Seller to the Buyer and, in the interests of facilitating such transition, the Buyer desires to use the Seller’s Licenses (as hereinafter defined) to operate the Business for a short period of time after the Closing Date, and the Seller is willing to allow the Buyer to use the Seller’s Licenses to operate the Business for a short period of time after the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and in consideration of the execution and performance of the Purchase Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.             Transition Services.  Commencing at the Time of Transfer and continuing until the termination of this Agreement, the Buyer shall be entitled to utilize, in connection with its operation of the Business and in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the following permits, licenses, registrations or certifications of the Seller related to the Business (collectively, the “Licenses”):

 

2.1.                              Oklahoma Pharmacy License;

 

2.2.                              Oklahoma Narcotics Registration;

 

2.3.                              Drug Enforcement Agency Registration;

 

2.4.                              National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Provider Number; and

 

2.5.                              Credit Card Services.

 

To effect the foregoing authorization, on the Closing Date, the Seller will execute the Limited Power of Attorney in the form attached at Exhibit “A” authorizing the Buyer to act on the Seller’s behalf in connection with the Licenses, and other documents, if any, as may be required or requested by a government agency, including, without limitation, powers of attorney.  In

 



 

addition, during the term of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to keep open the bank accounts used for payments from insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and credit card services (whether one or more, the “Accounts”) and furnish to the Buyer all information regarding the Accounts and payments by third parties to the Accounts so that the Buyer may perform the accounting described in paragraph 5 below.

 

3.             Termination of Right to Use Licenses.  The Buyer’s right to use the Licenses will terminate upon the written notice of either party upon the earlier of:  (a) the issuance to the Buyer of the same types of permits, licenses, registrations or certifications as the Licenses (the “Required Licenses”); or (b) sixty (60) days from the Closing Date; provided, in the event that the Buyer has not obtained the Required Licenses within the required time period, the term of this Agreement and the Power of Attorney will be extended by twenty (20) days if (i) the Buyer has not breached and is not in default of the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any document executed in connection therewith, and (ii) the Buyer is actively seeking and using best efforts to obtain the Required Licenses as promptly as possible.

 

4.             Will Call Prescriptions.  The company performing the Inventory will account for all orders at the Business for prescriptions placed but not paid for prior to the Time of Transfer (“Will Call Prescriptions”) and determine the cash amount owed by customers for Will Call Prescriptions (the “Will Call Receivables”).  On the Closing Date, the Buyer will pay the Seller the amount of the Will Call Receivables.  All Will Call Receivables will be the property of the Buyer.  All other receivables from third parties in connection with the Will Call Prescriptions will be the property of the Seller subject to paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

 

5.             Third Party Receivables.  All accounts receivable generated prior to the Time of Transfer other than the Will Call Receivables (the “Seller Receivables”), will be the property of the Seller.  The Buyer will collect the Seller Receivables on behalf of the Seller and furnish an accounting of all Seller Receivables (reconciled to the transaction generating such Seller Receivables) to the Seller on a monthly basis.  The Buyer will pay the Seller all collected Seller Receivables on a weekly basis.  The Buyer will conduct the foregoing collection, accounting and reconciliation at the Buyer’s expense.  All accounts receivable generated after the Time of Transfer will be the property of the Buyer and the Seller agrees to promptly deliver to the Buyer any such receivables delivered to the Seller.  It is anticipated that all mail addressed to the Seller will be forwarded to the Buyer and that for the first thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will simply forward to the Seller all checks received as payment of the Seller Receivables on a weekly basis.

 

6.             Consulting.  During the term of this Agreement, Nichols agrees to provide information reasonably requested by the Buyer regarding the Seller’s and the Business’s operations, arrangements, policies and similar matters, regardless of whether Nichols is employed by the Buyer or the Buyer’s agents or affiliates.

 

7.             Indemnification.  The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and the Seller’s partners, employees, agents and affiliated entities (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss, damage, claim, liability, debt, obligation or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of litigation), whether or not actually incurred or paid that the Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of:  (a) any actions or omissions of the Buyer or any employees, agents, representatives or other personnel of the Buyer related to the Business

and the Licenses occurring after the Closing Date; or (b) the parties entering into this Agreement or the Buyer’s use of the Licenses.

 

8.             Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the documents executed in connection therewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties hereto, whether oral or written.

 

9.             Assignment.  This Agreement, and all rights and obligations hereunder, shall not be assignable by any party in whole or in part.

 

10.           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement duly executed by representatives of both parties hereto.

 

11.           Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oklahoma, disregarding conflicts of laws principles which may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

12.           Audit Rights.  The Seller shall have the right, at all times during the term hereof, to monitor, review and audit at the Seller’s expense the accounts, books, records, documents and procedures relating to the Buyer’s performance under this Agreement and use of the Licenses.

 

13.           No Third Party Rights.  This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any parties other than the Seller and the Buyer and no other person shall assert any rights as a third party beneficiary hereunder.

 

14.           Waivers.  Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing.  A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term and condition of this Agreement.

 

15.           Independent Contractor.  By executing this Agreement, the parties intend to create an independent contractor relationship, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make either the Seller or the Buyer a partner, joint venturer, principal, agent or employee of the other, and neither party shall have any right, power or authority, express or implied, to bind the other.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not amend or affect the terms of any other agreements among the parties that may expressly create any of the foregoing relationships.

 

16.           Severability; Partial Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed amended to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable, or if the provision or portion thereof cannot be so amended without materially altering the parties’ intent, the provision or portion thereof shall be stricken, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$220,000.00

 

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

 

 

March 26, 2008

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, APOTHECARYRX, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of PENDERGRAFT DRUGS, INC., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Lender”), at 1900 North Classen, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73106, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Note, the principal sum of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000.00), together with interest thereon at the rate hereafter specified, payable as follows:

 

The unpaid principal balance of this Note will bear interest from the date of this Note until payment in full at a per annum rate equal to six percent (6.0%).  All interest will be computed as a per diem charge for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be.

 

Provided no uncured default has occurred under this Note, the unpaid principal balance of this Note plus accrued interest thereon will be paid by the Borrower paying to the Lender twelve (12) blended quarterly installments of principal and interest equal to Twenty Thousand One Hundred Sixty Nine and 60/100 Dollars ($20,169.60), commencing on June 26, 2008, and on the twenty sixth (26th) day of each successive September, December, March and June thereafter through March 26, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”).  In the event of an adjustment, prepayment or set-off against the unpaid principal balance of this Note, the quarterly payment will be recalculated to the amount which would fully amortize the unpaid principal balance of this Note on such date, together with accrued interest thereon, over a term ending on the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Each payment will be applied first to the payment of interest on the unpaid principal and the balance, if any, will be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.  The Borrower will have the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, but with interest on the unpaid principal balance accrued to the date of prepayment.

 



 

The Borrower and the Lender also agree that the Borrower’s obligations under this Note may be set-off against any amounts owing to the Borrower under that certain Pharmacy Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated March 24, 2008, among the Borrower, the Lender and affiliates of the Lender, subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement.

 

The Borrower agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the holder’s rights hereunder or under any instrument securing payment of the same, the Borrower will pay to such holder its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses incurred in connection therewith.  This Note is to be construed according to the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

 

This Note is issued subject to the terms of the Agreement.  Payment of this Note is secured by the Financing Documents as more fully described in the Agreement.  If the breach of any provision of this Note is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice by the holder to the Borrower, then on written notice by the holder to the Borrower, the entire unpaid indebtedness evidenced by this Note will become due, payable and collectible then or thereafter as the holder may elect, regardless of the date of maturity of this Note, and, at the option of Lender, and to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to fifteen (15%) percent per annum calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable under this note are paid in full.  Failure by the holder to exercise such option will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default.

 

The makers, endorsers, sureties, guarantors and all other persons who may become liable for all or any part of this Note severally waive presentment for payment and protest.  The foregoing parties consent to any extension of time (whether one or more) of payment hereof, the modification (whether one or more) of payment hereof, release or substitution of all or part of the security for the payment hereof or release of any party liable for payment of this Note.  Any such extension or release may be made without notice to any such party and without discharging such party’s liability hereunder.

 

Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms defined or referenced in the Agreement will have the same meanings herein as therein.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this instrument effective the date first above written.
