After obtaining the FMRX Stockholder Approval, the Sellers shall provide such access, information and cooperation to the Data Converter as may be required to enable the Data Converter to deliver the Record Data to Buyer (i) with respect to each of the File-Transfer Locations, at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to each of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies and Purchased Worksite Pharmacies, at least two (2) business days prior to the applicable Inventory Closing Date; provided, that prior to the applicable Inventory Closing Date (or, with respect to the File-Transfer Records, the Closing Date) such Record Data shall be maintained and segregated in Buyer’s computer systems and access to such data shall not be transferred and made accessible to any pharmacy locations until the applicable Inventory Closing Date (or, with respect to the File-Transfer Records, the Closing Date), and shall be limited to corporate-level employees and only for purposes of quality assurance and preparing to transition such data from the Sellers to Buyer; provided, further, that if any Inventory Closing Date does not occur within 90 days of the Closing Date, Buyer shall delete and destroy the applicable Record Data (and any copies thereof) so that such Record Data may not be accessed by Buyer or Eastern or any of their respective Affiliates. In the event that the Sellers fail to comply with their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.3(a) and as a result of such failure the Record Data is not or cannot be delivered from Buyer’s corporate-level systems to the applicable pharmacy systems as of the applicable Inventory Closing Date, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole discretion, may delay the applicable Inventory Closing Date until the Record Data is delivered to Buyer’s pharmacy systems. For the avoidance of doubt, the costs and Expenses of the Data Converter are to be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, as part of the Inventory Closing Shared Expense Amount. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, upon Buyer’s receipt of the File-Transfer Records pursuant to this Section 7.3(a), Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, will be obligated to pay to Sellers the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such File-Transfer Records, Sellers will be obligated to sell, transfer and assign to Buyer or Eastern all of its rights, title and interest to such File-Transfer Records, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and each of the parties will be obligated to make the other deliveries required by Article IV with respect to such File-Transfer Records.

(b) In addition, the Sellers agree to make the computer hardware, computer software and electronic data currently used for record keeping purposes available to Buyer and Eastern for up to six (6) months after the Closing Date.

(c) The Sellers have, with respect to each of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies, Purchased Worksite Pharmacies and File-Transfer Locations, maintained an accurate log of all disclosures, to the extent any have been made, as of April 14, 2003, of Protected Health Information (“PHI”), as that term is defined in HIPAA.

7.4. Patient Letters. Buyer will, at its own expense, engage Tribune Direct (the “Third Party Distributor”) to notify each customer who has had a prescription filled or refilled at any File-Transfer Location within the last two years by mailing each of them a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties; provided, that (a) such mailing will occur after the Closing Date or applicable Inventory Closing Date and (b) FMRX shall have the right to review and comment on the contents of any such correspondence prior to mailing, and Buyer shall incorporate FMRX’s reasonable comments in such correspondence. The parties agree that, promptly after its delivery of the Record Data related to the File Transfer Locations to Buyer in accordance with Section 7.3, and subject to obtaining reasonable assurance from Buyer of compliance with applicable Requirements of Law regarding patient confidentiality, the Data Converter will provide the Record Data to the Third Party Distributor in order to enable the Third Party Distributor to assemble and distribute such letters promptly after the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date. Sellers shall instruct the Data Converter not to deliver the File-Transfer Records to the Third Party Distributor until after it delivers such Record Data to Buyer in accordance with Section 7.3. Buyer shall instruct the Third Party Distributor not to distribute such letters prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date.

7.5. Matters Related to Prescriptions. Prior to the applicable Inventory Closing Date, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill and deliver to customers of Operate Location Pharmacies and Worksite Pharmacies any partial-fill prescriptions with a remaining quantity balance (“IOU Prescriptions”). For any IOU Prescriptions remaining on the applicable Inventory Closing Date, the Sellers shall credit the prescription to the customer or to the third party payor, as appropriate, on the applicable Inventory Closing Date. Buyer assumes no liability for IOU Prescriptions. In addition, prior to the applicable Inventory Closing Date, the Sellers shall reverse and return to stock any filled prescriptions that have not been picked up, providing all necessary notice to any third party payors, and shall provide Buyer with a list of such prescriptions so that Buyer is prepared to fill such prescriptions on or after the applicable Inventory Closing Date.

7.6. Interim Operations.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Final Closing Date, the Sellers shall operate and carry on the Business (except to the extent a portion thereof has previously been transferred to Buyer or Eastern as of the Closing Date or prior Inventory Closing Date) only in the ordinary course and substantially as presently operated. Consistent with the foregoing, the Sellers shall (i) keep and maintain the Purchased Assets in good operating condition and repair, normal wear-and-tear excepted; (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the goodwill of the suppliers, contractors, licensors, employees, customers, distributors and others having business relations with the Business; (iii) maintain the Inventory at levels adequate and not excessive in the present circumstances of the Business and at levels reasonably based on past practices and historical sales of the Business; and (iv) maintain the Sellers’ current operating practices with respect to Patient Charges. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Sellers shall maintain normal operating hours, staffing levels, inventory levels and merchandise mix. For the avoidance of doubt, changes imposed or required by third parties of a kind and nature typical for a company that has announced an intent to wind down its business or dissolve shall not be deemed to violate the terms of this Agreement (but may be included in any determination of the existence of a Material Adverse Effect).

(b) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or except with the express written approval of Buyer, the Sellers shall not: (i) take any action that is intended or may reasonably be expected to result in (x) any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any material respect, (y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in this Agreement not being satisfied or (z) any violation of any provision of this Agreement, except, in each case, as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law; (ii) except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, enter into any lease, agreement, Contract or commitment of any nature, oral or written, nor make any capital investment or expenditures, primarily related to the ownership or operation of the Operate Location Pharmacies, Worksite Pharmacies or Transfer Locations; (iii) except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, enter into any Contract with respect to, or make any increase in (or commitment to increase) the compensation payable to any of its employees or agents primarily related to the Operate Location Pharmacies, Worksite Pharmacies or Transfer Locations; (provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the granting of “stay-bonuses” or similar commitments) or (iv) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (including any transfers from any of the Sellers to any of their respective Affiliates), or impose or suffer to be imposed any Encumbrance on, any of the Purchased Assets, other than inventory and minor amounts of personal property sold or otherwise disposed of for fair value in the ordinary course of the Business consistent with past practice.

7.7. Signage. To the extent not prohibited under each real estate lease related to the File-Transfer Locations, if any, (a) the Sellers shall permit Buyer or Eastern to place a sign at the front entrance of each File-Transfer Location for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date advising customers that all prescription files have been transferred to a Walgreen drug store or other location designated by Buyer or Eastern and (b) subject to any consent required by a landlord or lessor (which the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain), concurrently with the delivery of the File-Transfer Records to Buyer in accordance with Section 7.3, the Sellers shall permit Buyer to place a sign and distribute flyers at the File-Transfer Locations advising customers that all prescription files will be transferred to such drug store or other location.

7.8. Telephone Numbers. Upon the applicable Inventory Closing Date, the Sellers shall disconnect existing telephone lines and terminate any existing telephone accounts, including advertising and yellow pages agreements, for the File-Transfer Locations. The Sellers shall arrange, in a manner approved by Buyer and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, for call referral for all calls to the numbers so canceled to a Walgreen drug store or other location designated by Buyer.

7.9. Acquisition Proposals; Board Recommendation.

(a) Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, and shall direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any other proposal or offer to acquire any or all of the Purchased Assets, other than the sale of inventory or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business. From the date hereof until the Final Closing Date, except as provided in this Section 7.9 and subject to compliance herewith, Sellers shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to, and shall direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or take any other action to facilitate any proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or an Alternative Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or disclose or provide any non-public information relating to FMRX to, or afford access to any of the properties, books or records of FMRX to, any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or an Alternative Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any Alternative Proposal, (iv) enter into any letter of intent, agreement or agreement in principle with any Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal or an Alternative Proposal or (v) waive, amend, modify or grant any release under any employee non-solicitation, standstill or similar agreement or confidentiality agreement to which FMRX or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided, however, that prior to obtaining the FMRX Stockholder Approval, Sellers, their respective Subsidiaries and respective Representatives may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.9(a) in respect of a Person that makes an Acquisition Proposal subsequent to the date hereof if, but only if, (x) such Person has entered into a confidentiality agreement with FMRX on terms that are substantially similar to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated October 13, 2006, between FMRX and Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), (y) a majority of the Board of Directors of FMRX has determined in good faith, following consultation with outside counsel including counsel expert in Nevada law, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure of the Board of Directors of FMRX to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the directors’ fiduciary obligations to FMRX’s stockholders under applicable Requirements of Law, and (z) the Acquisition Proposal was received and developed without any intentional breach, or any material violation, of the provisions of this Section 7.9(a).

(b) FMRX shall advise Buyer, telephonically and in writing, of any Sellers’ receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, Alternative Proposal or any request for Confidential Information in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal, and the identity of the Person making any such proposal or request, in any case within two (2) business days of any Sellers’ receipt thereof. FMRX shall include in such written notice the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal. FMRX will keep Buyer reasonably and promptly informed of the status of, and material information concerning (including amendments, modifications or proposed amendments or modifications), any Acquisition Proposal. If the Board of Directors of FMRX determines that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, FMRX shall deliver to Buyer a written notice advising Buyer that the Board of Directors of FMRX has so determined, specifying in detail the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal.

(c) The Board of Directors of FMRX has adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of FMRX (the “FMRX Recommendation”). Except as set forth in this Section 7.9(c), neither the Board of Directors of FMRX nor any committee thereof may (i) amend, withdraw, modify, change, qualify or condition, or propose publicly to amend, withdraw, modify, change, qualify or condition in a manner adverse to Buyer, the FMRX Recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation”), (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal or (iii) cause or permit FMRX to accept any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (each, an “Alternative Agreement”) related to any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, prior to obtaining the FMRX Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of FMRX determines in good faith, after consultation with FMRX’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of FMRX to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to FMRX’s stockholders under applicable Requirements of Law, the Board of Directors of FMRX may (x) make a Change of Recommendation, (y) approve or recommend a Superior Proposal or (z) terminate this Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal or enter into an Alternative Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, but in each case (1) only at a time that follows Buyer’s receipt of written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Buyer that the Board of Directors of FMRX has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal and (2) after having provided Buyer five (5) days prior written notice that FMRX or its Board of Directors intends to recommend such Superior Proposal to its stockholders or terminate this Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal or enter into an Alternative Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, and having negotiated in good faith with Buyer to revise the Buyer’s offer such that the Superior Proposal no longer qualifies as a Superior Proposal, and in the case of clause (z) above, making the payment required by Section 10.3(c), provided, that if in response to a Superior Proposal (a “Pending Proposal”), Buyer revises its offer (the “Revised Buyer Proposal”) such that the Pending Proposal no longer qualifies as a Superior Proposal, and subsequent thereto any Seller receives any revisions or amendments to the Pending Proposal which causes such Pending Proposal to constitute a Superior Proposal, the Sellers shall promptly give notice of such revision or amendment and shall again negotiate in good faith with Buyer (to revise the Revised Buyer Proposal such that the Superior Proposal no longer qualifies as a Superior Proposal) for two (2) business days prior to FMRX’s, Familymeds’ or Arrow’s Board of Directors recommending such Superior Proposal to its stockholders or Sellers terminating this Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal or enter into an Alternative Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the five (5) day period specified above shall apply to each and every Superior Proposal other than a Superior Proposal resulting from a revision or amendment to a Pending Proposal in response to a Revised Buyer Proposal, in which case the two (2) business day period specified above shall apply.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit FMRX or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with FMRX’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of FMRX to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to FMRX’s stockholders under applicable Requirements of Law. Subject to Section 7.9, FMRX shall take all lawful acts to obtain the FMRX Stockholder Approval.

7.10. FMRX Stockholder Meeting; FMRX Proxy Statement.

(a) FMRX shall, subject to compliance by Buyer and Eastern with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 7.10(d), as soon as practicable after the date on which the FMRX Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “FMRX Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the FMRX Stockholder Approval.

(b) In connection with this Agreement and the FMRX Stockholder Meeting, FMRX shall, subject to compliance by Buyer and Eastern with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 7.10(d), prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable and at FMRX’s expense, a proxy statement relating to the FMRX Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “FMRX Proxy Statement”). FMRX shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity (but not less than three (3) business days) to review and comment on the FMRX Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. FMRX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the comments of the SEC and to cause the FMRX Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of FMRX as promptly as practicable. FMRX shall promptly notify Buyer of the receipt of comments of the SEC and of any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the FMRX Proxy Statement or for additional information, and will promptly supply Buyer with copies of all correspondence between FMRX and the SEC or members of its staff with respect to the FMRX Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the FMRX Stockholder Meeting any event should occur that is required by applicable Requirements of Law to be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the FMRX Proxy Statement, FMRX will prepare and mail such amendment or supplement. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.9, the FMRX Recommendation shall be included in the FMRX Proxy Statement.

(c) FMRX covenants that, subject to compliance by Buyer and Eastern with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 7.10(d), the FMRX Proxy Statement (including the description of the Sale Process included therein) will (i) as of the time of the FMRX Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereof) is first mailed to its stockholders and as of the time of the FMRX Stockholder Meeting, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act.

(d) Buyer and Eastern shall promptly provide to FMRX all relevant information related to Buyer and Eastern for inclusion in the FMRX Proxy Statement, and any amendments thereto, and so assure that the information does not contain any untrue statement of material fact, or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

7.11. Access Through Final Closing Date.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, subject to applicable Requirements of Law, each Seller shall, and shall cause each of its directors, officers, agents and employees to, afford Buyer and its representatives reasonable access during regular business hours from the date hereof through the Final Closing to the Premises, the Tupelo Property, and any and all properties, Contracts, books, records, data and personnel of the Sellers relating to the Business; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its representatives shall initiate contact (whether by written correspondence, telephone, in-person meeting, e-mail or otherwise) with any employee of any Seller regarding the transactions and matters contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of FMRX (which may include an e-mail consent from any officer of FMRX or the designee of any such officer), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided, further, that a representative of FMRX designated by any officer of FMRX shall have the right to attend or participate in any such conversations or meetings between Buyer and Sellers’ employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree jointly to schedule and cause to occur preliminary meetings with all Business Employees within five (5) days after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of providing such general information as the parties deem appropriate. In addition, each Seller shall afford to Buyer and its representatives reasonable access to and an opportunity to speak with any third parties to the Real Estate Leases and Worksite Agreements (including any doctor groups, employers or persons related to the Prospective Worksite Pharmacies) as well as Sellers’ third party payors and vendors; provided, however, that FMRX and its representatives shall have the right to attend such conversations or meetings between Buyer and its representatives and any third parties to the Real Estate Leases and Worksite Agreements, any third party payors or vendors. The Sellers shall provide to Buyer such information and documents concerning the Business as reasonably may be requested by Buyer. In exercising its rights under this Section 7.11(a), Buyer shall not unreasonably interfere with the Sellers’ business and shall coordinate the exercise of such rights through the Sellers. Any information obtained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer shall notify each of those employees of Buyer responsible for transitioning the Locations to Buyer or Eastern pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of the foregoing restrictions and shall be liable for any action by any of such Persons that, if taken by Buyer, would have been a violation of this Section 7.11(a).

(b) Upon reasonable notice, the Sellers shall permit Buyer access to all of the Premises in order to install wiring and equipment for communication devices and other store systems and to prepare for the integration of the Business with Buyer’s own business, all at Buyer’s cost and without causing material damage to such Premise. If this Agreement is terminated and the Closing Date or applicable Inventory Closing Date shall not have occurred with respect to one or more Locations, Buyer shall remove all such wiring and equipment at its sole cost and expense. Buyer agrees to repair any damage which may be caused due to the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from any and all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with Buyer’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 7.11(b). In exercising its rights under this Section 7.11(b), Buyer shall not unreasonably interfere with Sellers’ Business and shall coordinate the exercise of such rights through the Sellers and Buyer shall act diligently to conduct such installations and integrations as promptly as reasonably practicable.

7.12. Taxes.

(a) The Sellers shall be liable for and covenant to pay and, pursuant to Article VIII, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Group Member from and against (i) any and all Loss and Expense incurred by any of them in connection with or arising from, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business or the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods ending prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and (ii) all Taxes (and all Loss and Expense incurred by Buyer in connection with such Taxes) applicable to the Business or Purchased Assets and attributable to taxable years or periods ending prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, for which Buyer has transferee liability; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer Group Member from and against, any Taxes for which the Buyer is liable under this Agreement. Buyer shall be liable for and covenants to pay and, pursuant to Article VIII, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all Loss and Expense incurred by any of them in connection with or arising from, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business or the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods beginning on or after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents from and against, any Taxes for which the Sellers are liable under this Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to the preceding sentence or Section 5.3. For purposes of this Section 7.12 any Straddle Period shall be treated on a “closing of the books” basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis. If the actual amount of property Taxes for a Straddle Period is not known on the Closing Date, the amount of such Taxes prorated by the parties shall equal (i) with respect to real property Taxes, one-hundred and ten percent (110%) of the amount of such real property Taxes payable for the prior taxable year and (ii) with respect to personal property Taxes, one-hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such personal property Taxes payable for the prior taxable year.

(b) The Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax for a Straddle Period paid by one party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.12 without regard to the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder.

(c) After the Closing Date, each of the Sellers and Buyer shall (and cause their respective Affiliates to): (i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Business or the Purchased Assets; (iii) make available to the other party and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Business or the Purchased Assets; (iv) provide timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to Taxes of the Business or the Purchased Assets for taxable periods for which the other party may have a liability under this Section 7.12; and (v) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tax (including a sales tax, use tax, real property transfer or gains tax, or documentary stamp tax) attributable to the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets shall be shared equally by the Sellers on one hand and Buyer and Eastern on the other.

(e) Sellers shall, from the date hereof through the date of the final distribution of assets to FMRX’s stockholders or dissolution of FMRX, promptly notify Buyer of the commencement and resolution of, and any oral or written communications with taxing authorities regarding, any audit with respect to state and local Taxes of the Business and the Purchased Assets.

7.13. Consent of Third Parties; Regulatory and Other Authorizations; HSR Act.

(a) The Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure before the Closing Date (i) each consent, approval or waiver, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, required to be satisfied or obtained prior to Closing in order to avoid any breach, default or termination of any agreement, Contract, Permit, license or other instrument and (ii) each Other Lease Amendment (it being acknowledged that “commercially reasonable efforts” with regard to the Other Lease Amendment shall mean sending a proposed amendment substantially in the form of the Other Lease Amendment to the applicable counterparty and negotiating in good faith to obtain amendments substantially similar to those set forth in the Other Lease Amendment); provided, that the Sellers shall not make any agreement or understanding affecting, in any material respect, the Business or the Purchased Assets as a condition for obtaining any such consents or waivers except as set forth on Exhibit B, and except with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. During the period prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers to obtain the consents, approvals and waivers contemplated by this Section 7.13(a).

(b) During the period prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to (1) secure any consents and approvals of any Governmental Body required to be obtained by them in order to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (2) otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2; provided, that the Sellers shall not make any agreement or understanding affecting, in any material respect, the Business or the Purchased Assets as a condition for obtaining any such consents or waivers except with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in no event more than ten (10) days after the date hereof, Buyer and FMRX shall file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division the notifications and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party warrants that all such filings by it are, as of the date filed, true and accurate and in accordance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Each of the Sellers and Buyer agrees to make available to the other such information as each of them may reasonably request relative to its business, assets and property (including, in the case of the Sellers, the Business) as may be required of each of them to file any additional information requested by such agencies under the HSR Act. Each of the Sellers and Buyer agree to provide to the other copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any such agency relating to this Agreement or any of the matters described in this Section 7.13(c); provided, that such correspondence does not contain or reveal Confidential Information of Buyer, the Sellers or their respective Affiliates. Each of the Sellers and Buyer agree that, except as either party may otherwise agree, all telephonic calls and meetings with such agencies regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the matters described in this Section 7.13(c) shall include representatives of each of Buyer and FMRX. All filing fees associated with this Section 7.13(c) are to be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other, as provided in the Closing Date Shared Expenses Schedule; provided, that if the Closing shall not occur, the parties agree to share equally the costs of all filing fees incurred with respect to the HSR Act (including reimbursing one party or the other, as applicable).

7.14. Avoiding Abandonment.

(a) Effective as of the applicable Inventory Closing Date with respect to each of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies and Purchased Worksite Pharmacies, the Sellers hereby authorize Buyer and Eastern to operate under each Permit related to the Business at such Location after the Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and to the extent necessary to enable Buyer and Eastern to conduct the Business at such Location while Buyer and Eastern seek to replace such Permit with their own license, authorization, permit or waiver (such Permits, the “Transferable Permits”). Buyer and Eastern shall promptly after execution of this Agreement prepare and submit the necessary applications (the “Buyer Applications”) to the applicable regulatory agencies to obtain the licenses required to operate the Business. The Sellers will take all steps reasonably necessary to maintain their respective authorizations under the Transferable Permits that Buyer and Eastern operate under during the period between Closing and the issuance of Buyer’s and Eastern’s own licenses, authorizations, permits or waivers and the Sellers will cooperate with Buyer and Eastern in preparing and submitting the Buyer Applications. Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorney fees and Expenses) incurred by the Sellers in connection with such cooperation, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and employees against any Losses incurred by such Persons as a result of the foregoing.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer and Eastern in (i) obtaining all licenses, authorizations, permits or waivers as may be necessary for Buyer and Eastern to conduct the Business at the Operate Location Pharmacies and the Worksite Pharmacies (including, taking all steps reasonably necessary to relinquish the Permits) and (ii) making such licenses, authorizations, permits or waivers effective as of the Closing Date or as promptly thereafter as is practicable. The parties further agree that, prior to the Closing, they will cooperate as may be reasonably necessary to enable Buyer and Eastern to (x) obtain either a new license or the approval of the transfer of Buyer’s and Eastern’s existing license issued by the pharmacy boards of the states in which the Operate Location Pharmacies and the Worksite Pharmacies are located, and (y) obtain any other required authorizations, permits or licenses. Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorney fees and Expenses) incurred by the Sellers in connection with such cooperation, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and employees against any Losses incurred by such Persons as a result of the foregoing.

(c) Effective as of the applicable Inventory Closing Date with respect to each of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies and Purchased Worksite Pharmacies, the Sellers shall execute a power of attorney, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, authorizing Buyer and Eastern to operate the Business at such Location under state pharmacy and Drug Enforcement Agency permits included in the Transferable Permits (the “Power of Attorney”) and such other powers of attorney, pharmacy management and other agreements, assignments, amendments, addenda and other documents as may be necessary to enable Buyer and Eastern to conduct the Business at such Location, in each case as are reasonably requested by Buyer and Eastern.

(d) During the term of the Real Estate Leases and any extensions, the Sellers will not take or fail to take any action under the Real Estate Leases that would impair the ability of the Sellers to perform their respective obligations under the Real Estate Leases.

7.15. Licenses.

(a) For a period of 120 days after the applicable Inventory Closing Date, Buyer and Eastern shall have the non-exclusive right to use the tradenames and Trademarks associated with the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies in connection with store signage, advertisements, solicitations, announcements and similar matters related to any Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies; provided, however, that Buyer and Eastern shall have obtained the prior written consent of FMRX (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to the use in connection with store signage, advertisements, solicitations, announcements and similar matters (other than with respect to use that is limited to announcing a change in the name or location of a particular pharmacy, for which prior consent is not required); provided, further, that such period shall be extended to the extent necessary if re-branding is not permitted by the applicable Requirements of Law before the expiration of such period. For a period of 120 days after the applicable Inventory Closing Date, Buyer and Eastern shall be permitted to continue using existing store signage located at the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies and Purchased Worksite Pharmacies.

(b) After the Closing Date, Buyer and Eastern shall have the right to use existing packaging, labeling, containers, supplies, advertising materials and any similar materials, to the extent Buyer and Eastern have purchased such materials from the Sellers, bearing the tradenames and Trademarks primarily used in or related to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies for 90 days following the applicable Inventory Closing Date. Buyer and Eastern shall have the right to use the tradenames and Trademarks associated with the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies in advertising that cannot be changed by Buyer or its Affiliates or resellers using commercially reasonable efforts for a period not to exceed 180 days after the applicable Inventory Closing Date. Buyer and Eastern shall comply with all applicable Requirements of Law in any use of packaging or labeling containing the tradenames and Trademarks primarily used in or related to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies. Buyer and Eastern shall not be obligated to change the tradenames and Trademarks primarily used in or related to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies on goods in the hands of dealers, distributors and customers at the time of the expiration of the time period set forth herein.

(c) For a period of one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall have a non-exclusive right to use the Intellectual Property included in the Purchased Assets and used in the operation of any Excluded Worksite Pharmacies. Additionally, the Sellers shall have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the existing tradename of any Excluded Worksite Pharmacy, provided, that the Sellers will act diligently to re-brand any such Excluded Worksite Pharmacy and such license may only be transferred to a purchaser of such Excluded Worksite Pharmacy. If the Sellers are able to re-brand any such Excluded Worksite Pharmacy, the license granted pursuant to the preceding sentence will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

7.16. Excluded Pharmacies; Post-Closing Consents.

(a) The parties agree that on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may (i) designate any Operate Location Pharmacies for which Required Lease Consents are not obtained as an “Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy” and (ii) designate any Worksite Pharmacies for which Required Worksite Consents are not obtained as an “Excluded Worksite Pharmacy”. The parties agree Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, will purchase and the Sellers will sell to Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, any Operate Location Pharmacies designated as an Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy or any Worksite Pharmacies designated as an Excluded Worksite Pharmacy pursuant to this Section 7.16(a) if the Sellers are able to obtain the Required Lease Consent or Required Worksite Consent for such location within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The parties agree that the risk of loss or damage to the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date, but prior to the assets being transferred to Buyer on the applicable Inventory Closing Date, shall be on the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if any Purchased Assets at a particular Operate Location Pharmacy or Worksite Pharmacy are damaged or destroyed prior to the applicable Inventory Closing Date (any such event, an “Event of Loss”) and such Event of Loss shall materially affect the value of the Purchased Assets at such Operate Location Pharmacy or Worksite Pharmacy, Buyer may designate such Operate Location Pharmacy or Worksite Pharmacy as an “Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy” or “Excluded Worksite Pharmacy”, as applicable. The parties agree Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, will purchase and the Sellers will sell to Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, any Operate Location Pharmacy or Worksite Pharmacy designated as an Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy or Excluded Worksite Pharmacy pursuant to this Section 7.16(b) if the Sellers are able to cure the applicable Event of Loss within sixty 60 days of the Event of Loss, on the terms set forth in this Agreement. If any Event of Loss results in any Operate Location Pharmacy or Worksite Pharmacy being designated as an Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy or Excluded Worksite Pharmacy, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to cause such Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy or Excluded Worksite Pharmacy to be purchased and sold as though it were a File-Transfer Location (taking into account all relevant consideration, including the proximity of existing pharmacies owned and operated by Buyer or Eastern or their respective subsidiaries and Buyer’s and Eastern’s expected retention of the business generated by such Excluded Operate Location Pharmacy or Excluded Worksite Pharmacy if any such pharmacy were purchased and sold as though it were a File-Transfer Location).

7.17. Prospective Worksite Pharmacies. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Sellers shall continue to pursue and develop Prospective Worksite Pharmacies consistent with past practices and the Sellers shall not enter into any Worksite Agreements with respect to any Prospective Worksite Pharmacies without the written consent of Buyer. To the extent that Sellers do not receive any of the Required Worksite Consents and Buyer and Eastern designate all three (3) of the Worksite Pharmacies as “Excluded Worksite Pharmacies” pursuant to Section 7.16, the Sellers will not sell to Buyer, and Buyer will not purchase from the Sellers, the Prospective Worksite Pharmacies. The parties agree Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, will purchase and the Sellers will sell to Buyer or Eastern, as applicable, the Prospective Worksite Pharmacies on the terms set forth in this Agreement if Buyer or Eastern purchase an Excluded Worksite Pharmacy after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.16(a).

7.18. Nonassignable Contracts.

(a) To the extent that the assignment by the Sellers of any Assumed Contract is not permitted without the consent of the other party to the Contract, then this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment of the same, if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof.

(b) If any necessary consent or approval is not obtained, the Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer and Eastern in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer or Eastern with all of the benefits under such Contract, as if such consent or approval had been obtained. Nothing herein shall excuse the Sellers from responsibility for any of their respective representations and warranties or covenants hereunder.

7.19. Remittance. The parties agree that (a) in the event Buyer or Eastern receives payment from any parties for services rendered by the Sellers before the applicable Inventory Closing Date with respect to any Location (including payment from Medicare and Medicaid programs), Buyer or Eastern will remit such payment to the Sellers as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days) and (b) in the event the Sellers receive payment from any parties for services rendered by Buyer or Eastern after the applicable Inventory Closing Date with respect to any Location (including payment from Medicare and Medicaid programs), the Sellers will remit such payment to Buyer or Eastern as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days).

7.20. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time at or after the Closing, the parties agree to cooperate with each other to execute and deliver such other documents, instruments of transfer or assignment, files, books and records and do all such further acts and things as may be reasonably required in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

7.21. Access to Records and Management After Closing.

(a) From the Closing Date through the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) FMRX’s final distribution of assets to FMRX’s stockholders or dissolution of FMRX, the Sellers shall afford to Buyer and, upon request, Buyer’s counsel, accountants and other representatives, reasonable access at reasonable times and occasions to access and inspect information not included in the Purchased Assets but relating to the Purchased Assets, the Business, any Transferred Employee, or a claim by any Buyer Member for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1. From the Closing Date through the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) FMRX’s final distribution of assets to FMRX’s stockholders or dissolution of FMRX, Buyer shall afford to the Sellers and, upon request, the Sellers’ counsel, accountants and other representatives, reasonable access at reasonable times and occasions (and for any reasonable business purposes) to information previously provided to Buyer by the Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets, Transferred Employees, Records related to periods before the Closing Date or a claim by the Sellers for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2. If FMRX determines to dissolve itself prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, FMRX will notify Buyer at least thirty (30) days in advance and give Buyer an opportunity, at its sole expense, to make copies of any of the Sellers’ records relating to the Purchased Assets.

(b) Buyer and FMRX agree that for a period of four (4) months following the Closing (the “Management Consulting Period”), upon reasonable advance notice from Buyer, FMRX shall cause its senior management to provide reasonably requested consulting services to Buyer (relating the ownership and operation of the Business prior to Closing); provided, however, that such consulting services shall be limited to services that can reasonably be performed by those members of senior management who are at such time employed by FMRX throughout any time period in which such services are to be performed, and shall not interfere with FMRX’s operation of its businesses or with senior management’s duties and responsibilities to the Sellers. Buyer shall compensate FMRX for such management time at an hourly rate equal to each employee’s time on a fully loaded basis, provided, that Buyer shall not be required to compensate FMRX for (i) any cooperation required by Section 7.20 or (ii) any services provided pursuant to the Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement to be executed between Buyer and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx.

7.22. Tupelo Property. Buyer shall, at its expense, be permitted to conduct a Phase I environmental audit with respect to the Tupelo Property. Additionally, Buyer shall have the right to obtain prior to the Closing Date, at its expense, a title commitment setting forth the current state of title (the “Title Commitment”). If (i) the results of any such environmental audit, assessment or study reveals any environmental defects or liabilities or violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements, (ii) if the Buyer shall have attempted in good faith and been unable to obtain an acceptable Title Commitment or the Title Commitment is obtained and reveals any Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, (iii) the Tupelo Property is subject to condemnation or a taking under eminent domain or (iv) Sellers do not deliver a deed with respect to the property in form and substance acceptable to Buyer, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) that materially and adversely affects the value of the Tupelo Property, then Buyer may elect to exclude the Tupelo Property from this Agreement, in which case the Sellers will not sell to Buyer, and Buyer will not purchase from the Sellers, the Tupelo Property; provided, that such election shall constitute the sole remedy of Buyer or Eastern with respect to any breach of representation, warranty or covenant hereunder with respect to the Tupelo Property; and provided, further, that no such election, nor any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder regarding the Tupelo property, shall alter the obligations of the parties regarding the purchase and sale of the other Purchased Assets.

7.23. Collection of Patient Charges. During the 90 day period that begins on the applicable Inventory Closing Date with respect to each File-Transfer Location and Purchased Operate Location Pharmacy (the “Collection Period”), Buyer and Eastern shall collect and receive payment in the ordinary course of business with respect to the Patient Charges transferred to Buyer and Eastern with respect to each File-Transfer Location and Purchased Operate Location Pharmacy, generally in accordance with the billing and collection practices presently applied by the Sellers in the collection of patient charges, except that Buyer and Eastern shall be under no obligation to commence or threaten any litigation to effect collection and may, after reasonable consultation with, and written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) from, the Sellers, make any adjustment, concession or settlement which in the good faith judgment of Buyer or Eastern is commercially reasonable. The Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the collection of the Patient Charges when so requested by Buyer and Eastern; provided, that the Sellers shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket Expenses in connection with such efforts. If the cumulative principal amount of the collections received with respect to the applicable Patient Charges as of the expiration of the applicable Collection Period, less Buyer’s collection costs, exceeds 110% of the Patient Charges Aggregate Amount (such collection amount in excess of 110% of the Patient Charges Aggregate Amount, less Buyer’s collection costs, the “Collections Excess”), Buyer shall pay promptly to the Sellers an amount equal to the Collections Excess. If the cumulative principal amount of the Patient Charges collected as of the expiration of the Collection Period is less than 90% of the Patient Charges Aggregate Amount (such difference between the collection amount and 90% of the Patient Charges Aggregate Amount, the “Collections Deficiency”), the Sellers shall promptly pay to Buyer an amount equal to such Collections Deficiency. At the end of the applicable Collection Period, Buyer shall cease to have any further responsibilities to the Sellers with respect to the applicable Patient Charges.

7.24. Website Termination. As of or immediately following the Closing Date and any Inventory Closing Date, Sellers shall disable any connection between the Sellers’ websites, including xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, and the Locations purchased by Buyer or Eastern on such Closing Date or Inventory Closing Date.

8.1. Indemnification by the Sellers.

(a) The Sellers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Group Member from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by such Buyer Group Member in connection with or arising from:

(i) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation of the Sellers contained or referred to in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant hereto;

(ii) any breach by the Sellers of any of their respective covenants or agreements, or any failure of the Sellers to perform any of their respective obligations, in this Agreement;

(iii) the failure of the Sellers to pay, perform or discharge any Excluded Liability;

(iv) the failure of Seller to comply with any applicable Uniform Commercial Code filing provisions with respect to “bulk transfers”; or

(v) any and all claims from or on behalf of any former, current or future (A) holder of capital stock of, or other rights or interests in FMRX or (B) creditor of the Sellers (other than with respect to Assumed Liabilities), in either case, arising from or relating to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby

provided, however, that:

(A) the Sellers shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Group Members under clause (i) of this Section 8.1(a) with respect to Losses and Expenses incurred by Buyer Group Members (other than Losses and Expenses incurred as a result of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1, 5.4 and 5.25, as to which this proviso shall have no effect) unless the aggregate amount of such Losses and Expenses subject to indemnification by the Sellers exceeds $200,000, and once such amount is exceeded, the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer Group Members only for the amount in excess of such amount; and

(B) in no event shall the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.1(a) (other than Losses and Expenses incurred as a result of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1, 5.4 and 5.25, as to which there shall be no limitation) exceed $10,000,000.

(b) The indemnification provided for in clause (i) of Section 8.1(a) shall terminate on the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Closing Date or (ii) the final distribution of assets to FMRX’s stockholders or dissolution of FMRX (the “Indemnity Termination Date”) (and no claims shall be made by any Buyer Group Member under clause (i) of Section 8.1(a) after the Indemnity Termination Date), except that the indemnification by Seller shall continue as to:

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.4 and 5.25, as to which no time limitation shall apply; and

(ii) any Loss or Expense arising under or related to a claim pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.1(a) of which any Buyer Group Member has notified the Sellers in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.4 on or prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 8.1, as to which the obligation of the Sellers shall continue until the liability of the Sellers shall have been determined pursuant to this Article VIII, and the Sellers shall have reimbursed all Buyer Group Members for the full amount of such Loss and Expense in accordance with this Article VIII.

8.2. Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by any of them in connection with or arising from: (a) any breach by Buyer of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement or in any agreement or document required to be delivered by Buyer hereunder; (b) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations in this Agreement or in any agreement or document required to be delivered by Buyer hereunder, (c) any Assumed Liability; (d) the acts or omissions of Buyer or its Affiliates, employees, agents and contractors, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 shall terminate on the Indemnity Termination Date (and no claims shall be made by Seller under Section 8.2 thereafter).

8.3. Indemnity Fund; Termination of Indemnity Fund.

(a) For purposes of satisfying any amounts owed to any Buyer Group Member under this Agreement, the Buyer Group Members shall be entitled (subject to final determination of the right to, and amount of, indemnification pursuant to Section 8.4(b) to either (a) set off and reduce any amounts owed to the Sellers under this Agreement, or (b) charge the amount of any Loss and Expense against (and be entitled to receive payment from) the Indemnity Fund, until the amounts owed under this Article VIII exceed the Indemnity Fund.

(b) In the event that on the Indemnity Termination Date, no claims for indemnification by any Buyer Group Member are pending or remain unpaid, the Indemnity Fund shall terminate and any funds then remaining in the Indemnity Fund shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Alternatively, in the event that on the Indemnity Termination Date, any such good faith claims for indemnification are pending or remain unpaid, the Indemnity Fund shall not terminate and any funds remaining in the Indemnity Fund shall not be distributed to the Sellers or any of their respective creditors or stockholders unless and until all such claims have been resolved and, if appropriate, paid in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that if the aggregate maximum amount of such claims is less than the then existing Indemnity Fund, the Indemnity Agent shall distribute such difference in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. The parties agree that if six (6) months after the Indemnity Termination Date, any good faith claims for indemnification remain pending or unpaid, the party making such claim shall bring an action to adjudicate such claims as promptly as practicable.

8.4. Notice and Determination of Claims.

(a) The party which is entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Person”) may make claims for indemnification hereunder by promptly giving written notice thereof to the party required to indemnify (the “Indemnitor”) within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party (the “Third Person Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall also give written notice thereof to the Indemnitor promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so, or any delay in doing so, shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Article VIII, unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnitor are prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice. Such notice shall in good faith summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification (the “Claim Notice”) describing such Loss or Expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Loss or Expense, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement, any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss or Expense shall have occurred.

(b) Within fourteen (14) days after receiving such notice (or sooner as is reasonably necessary, in the case of a Third Person Claim), the Indemnitor shall give written notice to the Indemnified Person stating whether it in good faith disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any Third Person Claim at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnitor fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within 14 days after receipt of notice thereof (or sooner as is reasonably necessary, in the case of a Third Person Claim), it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, and the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Person shall be entitled under this Article VIII shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final, non-appealable judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

8.5. Third Person Claims.

(a) Subject to Section 8.5(b), the Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder if the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any Third Person Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless the terms of any settlement or compromise provide for (i) no relief other than the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (ii) a full release of the Indemnified Party for all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above which grant to the Indemnitor the right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, if (i) the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense or fails to assume the defense in a timely manner, (ii) the Indemnitor and any Indemnified Party are both parties to or subjects of such Third Person Claim and a conflict of interests exists between the Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party which has the potential of materially and adversely affecting the interests of the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Person Claim or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines in good faith that the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates could be adversely affected in any material respect in such Third Person Claim other than as a result of monetary damages, then the Indemnified Party may conduct its own defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor to represent or defend it against such Third Person Claim, in which case the Indemnitor will pay the reasonable Expenses of such counsel. If the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, the Indemnitor shall reasonably cooperate in providing information to and consulting with the Indemnified Party about the Third Person Claim.

8.6. Calculation of Losses and Expenses.

(a) Any indemnity payment hereunder with respect to any Loss or Expense shall be calculated on an “After-Tax Basis”, which shall mean an amount which is sufficient to compensate the Indemnified Person for the event giving rise to such Loss or Expense (the “Indemnified Event”), determined after taking into account (1) all increases in federal, state, local or other Taxes (including estimated Taxes) payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of the receipt of the indemnity payment (as a result of the indemnity payment being included in income, resulting in a reduction of Tax basis, or otherwise), (2) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of the such Loss or Expense, all increases in federal, state, local and other Taxes (including estimated Taxes) payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of the Indemnified Event for all affected taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date, and (3) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of such Loss or Expense, all reductions in federal, state, local and foreign Taxes (including estimated Taxes) realized by the Indemnified Person as a result of the Indemnified Event for all affected taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person; provided, that such exclusion shall not be interpreted to include any actual out-of-pocket Losses or Expenses.

8.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Sellers and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

8.8. Indemnification as Sole Remedy. Except as permitted under Section 11.11 and except with respect to claims for Losses and Expenses which cannot be waived as a matter of law (including fraud), the indemnity provided herein will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Group Members and the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to any and all claims for Losses and Expenses sustained, incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

10.1. Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date whether before or after the FMRX Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained (except for any termination pursuant to Section 10.1(h)):

(a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and each of the Sellers;

(b) by Buyer in the event of any material breach by any Seller of any of such Seller’s agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein and such material breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by such Seller of notice of such material breach from Buyer;

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be terminated without further liability of any party or its stockholders, directors or officers to the other parties, provided, (a) that this Section 10.3 and Sections 11.2, 11.7 and 11.13 shall survive any such termination, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability or damages for its willful breach of this Agreement.

(b) If:

(i) (A) (x) any of the Sellers or Buyer shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e) or (y) Buyer shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b), and

(B) at any time after the date of this Agreement and before such termination, a Superior Proposal shall have been publicly announced, become publicly known or otherwise communicated to senior management, the Board of Directors and stockholders of FMRX (whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn), and

(C) within twelve months of such termination FMRX or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal;

(ii) Buyer shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(g); or

(iii) FMRX shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(h);

then the Sellers shall promptly, but in no event later than the date of such termination (or, in the case of clause (i), if later, the date any of the Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries enters into such agreement with respect to or consummates such Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal), (x) pay Buyer an amount equal to $2,500,000 and (y) assume and pay, or reimburse Buyer for, all reasonable, out-of-pocket Expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (but not in excess of $500,000) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) If any of the Sellers or Buyer shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f), then the Sellers shall on the date of such termination assume and pay, or reimburse Buyer for, all reasonable, out-of-pocket Expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (but not in excess of $500,000) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In addition, if any of the Sellers or Buyer shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f), and at any time after this date of this Agreement and before the FMRX Stockholder Meeting, (i) there shall have been a Change of Recommendation or (ii) a Superior Proposal shall have been publicly announced, become publicly known or otherwise communicated to senior management, the Board of Directors and stockholders of FMRX (whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn) and within twelve months of such termination any of the Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Proposal, then the Sellers shall pay Buyer an amount equal to $2,500,000 (x) in the case of clause (i) above, upon the date of such termination or (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, upon the date any of the Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries enters into such agreement with respect to or consummates any Acquisition Proposal.

11.4. Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Either party may assign any of its rights hereunder, but no such assignment shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth in Article VIII, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 11.4 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

11.5. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and, except with respect to the Confidentiality Agreement, supersede all prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto.

11.6. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

11.7. Expenses. Except for the Closing Date Shared Expenses and Expenses included in the Inventory Closing Shared Expense Amount, each party hereto will pay all costs and Expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, Expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants. All items of income and Expense incurred in connection with the Business of the Purchased Operate Location Pharmacies or the Purchased Worksite Pharmacies and, unless excluded pursuant to Section 7.22, the Tupelo Property (including rent, Expenses, utilities, prepayments, deposits and similar items) shall be prorated between the Sellers and Buyer such that Sellers shall receive and be responsible for all items of income and Expense earned or incurred on or prior to the Closing Date or applicable Inventory Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Closing Date or the applicable Inventory Closing Date, Buyer will reimburse to Sellers the aggregate amount of any lease deposits transferred to Buyer (and acknowledged to be transferred to Buyer by the applicable landlord or sub-lessor) in connection with any Purchased Operate Location. For administrative convenience, Buyer agrees to pay and be liable for the Closing Date Shared Expenses and Expenses included in the Inventory Closing Shared Expense Amount. In consideration therefore, the parties agree that Buyer will be reimbursed, through a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing, in an amount equal to one-half of the Inventory Closing Shared Expense Amount and one-half of the Closing Date Shared Expenses.

11.8. Disclaimer Regarding Projections. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of FMRX, Buyer has received from FMRX certain projections and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that Buyer will have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that FMRX does not make any representation or warranty with respect to such projections, forecasts or plans.

11.9. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Requirements of Law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

11.10. Injunctive Relief; Remedies.

(a) The parties agree that any breach or threatened breach by any party or its Affiliates of this Agreement, including Section 7.2, would result in substantial and irreparable damage to the other parties, the amount of which would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Therefore, each party agrees that in the event of any such breach or threatened breach thereof, each non-breaching party shall have the right to enforce this Agreement by preliminary or permanent injunctive or other relief in equity, without the necessity of proving any actual damages or providing any bond or other security. The right of each party to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the terms hereof shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies it may otherwise have at law, in equity, or otherwise. Such right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief may be exercised, at the option of the non-breaching parties, concurrently with, prior to, after, or in lieu of the exercise of any other rights or remedies which the non-breaching party may have as a result of any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms hereof.

(b) The prevailing party or parties in any action brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith.

11.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement.

11.12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of New York.
