(c) Any Tax Return described in this Section 6.8 shall be submitted by the party preparing such Tax Return (the βTax Preparing Partyβ) (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent reasonably requested, supporting documentation) to the other party or parties at least thirty (30) days (or, in the case of any Tax Return that is not an income Tax Return, a reasonable number of days) prior to the due date (including any applicable extension) of such Tax Return. Each party shall have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return. If a party, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any such Tax Return, notifies the Tax Preparing Party in writing that it objects to any items in such Tax Return, the disputed item shall be resolved in a manner mutually agreeable to the parties within ten (10) Business Days, and if not so resolved, then by a jointly retained accounting firm within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution and shall be binding upon the parties without further adjustment. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by the Tax Preparing Party unless such accounting firm adopts the Tax Preparing Partyβs position, and in such case, the costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by the other party.

(d) Without prior written consent of Purchaser, Sellers (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect or relate to the Company, make, change, or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return, or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of the Purchaser or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers agree that Purchaser is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Sellers, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or otherwise) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and any Related Agreements (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Sellers when due. Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes with respect to any Purchaser Filed Tax Return filed under Section 6.8(b). Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to any Purchaser Filed Tax Return prepared in compliance with this Section 6.8, to the extent not paid at or before the Closing, within five (5) days after the date requested by Purchaser.

(e) The parties will provide each other with such reasonable cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request of another in filing any Tax Return or conducting any audit, investigation or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Each such Party will make its employees and representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each such Party will make available all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all other records or documents relating to Tax matters of the Company in their possession or control, including audit reports received from any Tax authority relating to any Tax Return of the Company, until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective Tax periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate.

AGREEMENTS
Β
1. For a period of three (3) years from the date hereof (the "Term"), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, none of the Sellers, the Seller Principals, nor any Affiliate of the Seller Principals or Sellers will, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, or engage or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a manager, member, director, officer, agent, partner, joint venturer, employee, or otherwise with, any business or organization any part of which engages in the business of pharmacy (each, a "Competing Business") within Palm Beach County, Florida (the "Territory"). The foregoing restrictions shall not be deemed to preclude any Seller or Seller Principal or any Affiliate of any Seller or Seller Principal from holding an employment position with the Company or any other pharmacy owned and operated by Purchaser.
Β
- 49 -
Β
2. The parties agree that this Noncompetition Agreement is necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests of Purchaser in purchasing the Membership Interests.
Β
3. The parties agree that the scope of this Noncompetition Agreement in time, geography, and types and limits of activities is reasonable.
Β
4. Because of the unique nature of the Membership Interests, Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law if any Seller, Seller Principal, or Seller Affiliate breaches this Noncompetition Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser shall be entitled upon application to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek an injunction prohibiting any violations of this Noncompetition Agreement, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies to which Purchaser may be entitled at law or in equity. Sellers and Seller Principals hereby waive and covenant not to assert in any action or proceeding, any claim or defense that there exists an adequate remedy at law for its breach of the Noncompetition Agreement.
Β
5. This Noncompetition Agreement is entered into by the Sellers and Seller Principals in consideration of the purchase of the Membership Interests by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The parties understand and agree that no additional compensation shall be paid by Purchaser under this Agreement.
Β
6. If this Noncompetition Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad, whether as to activities restricted, the time period of such restrictions or the geographic areas in which such activities are restricted, this Noncompetition Agreement shall nevertheless remain effective, but shall be deemed amended to the extent considered by such court to be reasonable, and shall be fully enforceable as so amended.
Β
7. The failure of Purchaser to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Noncompetition Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance of any such term or condition, and the obligations of the Sellers or Seller Principals and any other person bound by this Noncompetition Agreement pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof with respect thereto shall continue in full force and effect.
Β
8. All notices, demands, and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be (a) in writing, (b) delivered by personal delivery, or sent by commercial delivery service or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or transmitted by telecopy, (c) deemed to have been given on the date of receipt, and (d) addressed as follows:

This Noncompetition Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be fully enforceable by, Purchaser, its affiliates and their successors and assigns.
Β
10. The validity, performance, and enforcement of the Noncompetition Agreement, unless expressly provided to the contrary, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

11. This Noncompetition Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. The Sellers and Seller Principals shall take any actions and execute any documents that may be necessary or desirable to the implementation and consummation of this Agreement.
Β
