Subject to a party’s right to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will initially extend from the Effective Date through such date as Longs has purchased its Total Branded Rx Net Purchase Volume (as defined in Section 3 of Exhibit 1). Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to purchase the Total Branded Rx Net Purchase Volume, the Term will extend through at least June 30, 2009 unless terminated as provided below in this Section 7.
1. | Either party may terminate this Agreement effective upon a date after Longs has purchased the Total Branded Rx Net Purchase Volume, but not earlier than June 30, 2009, by giving written notice to the other of its intent to terminate not less than 90 days prior to the effective termination date. |

B. No Assignment. Neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except each party hereby consents to the other party’s assigning part or all of its obligations to any parent, subsidiary, and affiliate, or to any entity with which the assigning party may merge or consolidate, or any entity which may purchase the assigning party or a material part of its business or assets; provided, however, that (i) such entity will assume and agree in a writing delivered to the non-assigning party to perform the covenants of the assigning party contained in this Agreement and (ii) the assigning party will remain responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its assignee.

E. No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time or for any period of time any one or more of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions of the right of such party thereafter to enforce each such provision.

ABDC will credit Longs * at the time of the return for return of unsaleable Rx Products that meet their manufacturer’s return policy, less * .

In connection with Longs Processor, ABDC will * , but only to the extent ABDC receives credits from a manufacturer.
