6. Pursuant to the 2006 Agreement, ABDC has been (and will continue to) reduce Non-Rx Product inventory levels in anticipation of Longs beginning to self-distribute Non-Rx Products.

F. For purposes of Section 1(C)(1)(d) of Exhibit 1 only, the initial Contract Year (as defined in Section 1(C)(1)(d) of Exhibit 1) will be the period from the Non-Rx Transition Date until June 30, 2007 (up to 12 months) and, as such, Longs’ purchases of * during the period from the Agreement Effective Date to the Non-Rx Transition Date shall not count toward the * .

In all cases, each subsequent Contract Year will be a full 12-month period from July 1 to the next June 30.
