operations of the Company listed on Exhibit 1 attached to the Consulting
Agreement. The foregoing shall not prohibit KAYNE from (1) serving on the Park
Hospital District Board; (2) from being employed in any retail pharmacy
provided that the retail pharmacy does not engage in the nursing home pharmacy
business (except incidentally) or in the home IV infusion business, and to the
extent it does that KAYNE does not directly or indirectly engage in such
businesses; (3) from being employed by any retail drug chain provided the chain
does not engage in nursing home pharmacy (except incidentally) or in the home
IV infusion business (except incidentally), and to the extent it does that
KAYNE does not directly or indirectly engage in such businesses; (4) from being
employed by an acute care general hospital provided the hospital does not
engage in the nursing home pharmacy business off its licensed premises, or
-7-
8
in the home IV infusion business except in the care of its own on-site
patients, and to the extent it does that KAYNE does not directly or indirectly

from being employed by any Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Pharmacy
Benefit Management Plan, School of Pharmacy and/or its affiliated teaching
hospital(s) or by a Pharmacy Trade Association or Professional Society so long
as any such organization or institution does not engage in the nursing home
pharmacy business (except incidentally) or in the home IV infusion business
(except incidentally), and to the extent it does that KAYNE does not directly
or indirectly engage in such businesses.
(b) KAYNE shall not during the Consulting Period, as set forth in
the Consulting Agreement, or at any time thereafter make, use for his own
purposes or divulge to any person, firm or corporation (except under the
authority of the Company or if ordered to do so by a court of competent
jurisdiction) any information or fact relating to the management, business
(including prospective business), finances, its customers or the terms of any
of the contracts of the Company which has heretofore or may hereafter come to
the knowledge of KAYNE which is not freely available to the public.
(c) KAYNE hereby covenants with the Company that he will not for
any reason whatsoever and whether directly or indirectly, either alone or
jointly with any person, firm or corporation and whether as principal, servant
or agent:
(i) During the Consulting Period, as set forth in
-8-
9
the Consulting Agreement, solicit or endeavor to entice away, offer
employment to or employ, or offer or conclude any contract for
services with any person who is employed by the Company as of the date
of this Agreement so as to affect adversely the goodwill or business
of the Company;
(ii) At any time, in any way defame the Company or disparage
its business capabilities, products, plans or management to any
customer, potential customer, vendor, supplier, contractor,
subcontractor of the Company so as to affect adversely the goodwill or
business of the Company; and
(iii) At any time, use to the detriment of the Company
any confidential information of a technical, trade, financial or
other character which constitutes a legally protectable trade
secret and which KAYNE has acquired or may acquire in the course of or
as a result of his employment by the Company or his consulting to the
Company.
(d) The parties agree that the geographical areas and time period
referred to in this Section 11 are divisible and severable and that if the
restrictions in subsections 11 (a) and (c) are held by any court to be
unenforceable with respect to a specific geographical area and/or time
interval, the restrictions shall remain applicable to all other geographical
areas and terms and to that portion of any reduced geographical area and time
interval designated by the court.
(e) The parties recognize that, in the event of a breach of the
covenant contained in subsections 11 (a) through (c) above, the Company's
remedy at law alone would be inadequate and, accordingly, the Company shall be
-9-
10
entitled to an order or injunction restraining KAYNE from violating the
covenant herein contained.
(f) For purposes of this Section 11 and in consideration of this
Agreement, this non-competition and non-solicitation agreement has been
separately negotiated and bargained for, and constitutes a substantial portion
of the consideration for this Agreement.
Section 12. LITIGATION. KAYNE recognizes that as a key member of the
staff of the Company, KAYNE has occupied a position of trust and confidence
with respect to information of a secret or confidential nature which is or will
become the property of the Company, including but not limited to information
concerning various claims and lawsuits that have arisen or may arise out of the
Company's operations in which KAYNE was indirectly involved (collectively, the
"Litigation"). KAYNE agrees that KAYNE will not at any time for so long as any
such information shall remain confidential or otherwise remain wholly or
partially protectable, use, divulge, furnish, or make accessible such
information to anyone outside of the Company, the Company's agents or
representatives, except as required by legal process.
For purposes of this Section 12, the term "information of a secret or
confidential nature" shall mean any information of any nature in any form which
at the time or times concerned is not generally known to or which could not be
obtained by persons engaged in a business similar to that conducted or
contemplated by Company and which relates to any one or more of the aspects of
the present or past businesses of the Company. For purposes hereof any such
confidential information which is disclosed to any third party by a present or
past employee or representative of the Company not authorized to make such
disclosures shall be deemed to remain confidential and protected. KAYNE
-10-
11
further agrees that KAYNE shall continue to cooperate with the Company and its
attorneys concerning all aspects of the Litigation, including but not limited
to making himself available for a sufficient and reasonable period of time for
reviews, conferences, meetings, depositions, and testimony until such time as
the Litigation has been finally resolved to the Company's satisfaction.
For purposes of this Section 12, KAYNE acknowledges that the
Litigation consists or may consist of several lawsuits of a complex nature such
that it is difficult to estimate the exact number of hours that KAYNE will be
needed to devote to the Litigation. KAYNE therefore agrees to make himself
available to the Company in compliance with this Section 12, for sufficient
periods of time as is required for lawsuits of a complexity similar to those
comprising (or which may in the future comprise) the Litigation. The Company
agrees that its attorneys shall work with KAYNE to insure that, to the extent
possible, the time that KAYNE shall be required to devote to the Litigation
shall be scheduled in accordance with KAYNE'S preferences. During the
Consulting Period, KAYNE agrees that he will provide his services (including
actual travel time) required in connection with the Litigation at no cost to
the Company provided, however, the Company shall reimburse KAYNE for the costs
and expenses reasonably incurred by KAYNE in connection with the provision of
such services, and provided further that all services provided pursuant to this
Section 12 shall be treated as meeting KAYNE's obligation under Section 5 of
the Consulting Agreement. After the end of the Consulting Period, KAYNE will
continue to be obligated to provide the services called for by this Section 12,
and in such circumstances, he will be compensated at the rate of Seventy- Five
Dollars ($75.00) per hour, and the Company will reimburse KAYNE for the costs
and expenses reasonably incurred by KAYNE in connection with the
-11-
12
provision of such services.
Section 13. RELEASES. In consideration of the provisions of this
Agreement and for other good and sufficient consideration, receipt whereof is
hereby acknowledged, the Company and KAYNE do each hereby release and discharge
the other, from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of
money, accounts, reckonings, attorneys' fees, costs, disbursements, bonds,
bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, and demands
whatsoever, at law or in equity, present and future, known or unknown, in any
manner arising out of the employment relationship between the Company and
KAYNE, and the termination thereof, and all said actions, causes of action,
suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, attorneys' fees,
costs, disbursements, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies,
agreements, promises, and demands whatsoever, at law or in equity, are hereby
satisfied in full, terminated and forever discharged. No further action
whatsoever shall be taken before any tribunal and forum regarding said actions,
causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings,
attorneys' fees, costs, disbursements, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts,
controversies, agreements, promises, and demands whatsoever, at law or in
equity.
Other than arising out of this Agreement, KAYNE further agrees not to
file or lodge or bring any charges, complaints, grievances or other claims in
any forum including, but not limited to judicial, administrative or arbitral
forums against the Company arising out of his employment with the Company or
his resignation and severance therefrom.
KAYNE affirms that there is no administrative or judicial proceeding
against the Company to which KAYNE is a party or which has been filed on his
- 12 -
13
behalf. In the event that there is outstanding any such proceeding, KAYNE
agrees to cause the immediate withdrawal and dismissal with prejudice of that
proceeding. In the event that any agency, court or other forum does not
dismiss with prejudice such proceeding, KAYNE agrees that he will not give
testimony or evidence voluntarily against the Company in such proceeding. The
prohibition contained herein shall not apply with respect to information or
testimony provided by KAYNE pursuant to a subpoena enforced by order of the
court.
Section 14. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company will indemnify KAYNE to the
fullest extent permitted (including payment of expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding) by the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of
the Company, as in effect at such time or on the effective date of this
Agreement, whichever affords or afforded greater protection to KAYNE, and KAYNE
shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may
elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers,
against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by him
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a
party by reason of his being or having been an officer or employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or his serving or having
served any other enterprises as an officer or employee at the request of the
Company. The Indemnification Agreement between Xxxxxxx Enterprises, Inc. and
KAYNE dated January 20, 1992 shall remain in full force and effect for the
period up to and including May 31, 1995.
Section 15. POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION. The Company shall respond,
verbally, to inquiries from a potential employer of KAYNE with a positive
recommendation, and upon request of either KAYNE or any such potential
-13-
14
employers, shall provide a positive letter of recommendation, provided KAYNE
shall inform any such potential employers to direct their inquiries to the
attention of Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Section 16. THE COMPANY'S RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In the event the Company,
in its reasonable discretion, believes that KAYNE has breached any material
obligation under this Agreement and/or the Consulting Agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit "A", then, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it
may have, the Company may suspend making the payments to KAYNE provided for in
Section 3 hereof and Section 4 of the Consulting Agreement and, instead shall
place such payments in an interest bearing account to be held in escrow by the
Company pending judicial resolution of the issue of whether KAYNE has breached
this Agreement and/or the Consulting Agreement. Within a reasonable time of
suspending such payments, the Company shall commence an action in any court of
competent jurisdiction seeking, in addition to whatever other remedies may be
available to it, an order that KAYNE has breached any provision of the this
Agreement and/or the Consulting Agreement. Upon the entry of a final judgment
to that effect (and after any appeals, if any) , then any damages to the
Company resulting from said breach, including but not limited to liquidated
damages, may be set-off by the Company from the amounts it holds in escrow
under this Section. Upon entry of any final judgment that KAYNE has not
breached any provision of this Agreement and/or the Consulting Agreement (and
after any appeals, if any) then all funds held in escrow, including interest
thereon, shall be released to KAYNE
