9. COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE.

9.1 Seller’s Covenant Not to Compete and Nonsolicitation. Each of Seller and SunLink hereby covenants that at all times from the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and SunLink shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns, not to, directly or indirectly, (i) except as a consultant or contractor to or of Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer), own, lease, manage, operate, control, or participate in any manner with the ownership, leasing, management, operation or control of any business which offers services in competition with those services being provided by the Acute Care Hospital or the SNF as of the date of this Agreement within a fifty (50) mile radius of 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx, Xxxxxxx (the “Territory”) without Buyer’s prior written consent (which Buyer may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) or (ii) directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any person who prior to Closing was an employee or independent contractor of Seller, and at Closing becomes an employee or independent contractor of Buyer, to terminate his or her employment relationship or engagement with Buyer or its Affiliates or to enter into an employment or similar relationship with any other Person; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the operation by Seller of any pharmacy company, the provision of information technology consulting services or assisting or rendering services outside the Territory to any physician on the medical staff of any hospital of SunLink or its subsidiaries or Affiliates who may draw patients from within the Territory to the extent such services are customary and usual services provided to members of such hospital’s medical staff generally. For purposes hereof, “solicit” or “induce” will not be deemed to include general solicitations through employment or physician search agencies or through the public media so long as not, in any such case, specifically directed or targeted to any employee(s) of Buyer at the Hospital Facilities or any physician on the staff of any of the Hospital Facilities.

9.2 Remedies. In the event of a breach of this Section 9, the parties recognize that monetary damages shall be inadequate to compensate the injured party and the injured party shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or similar security, to an injunction restraining such breach. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the parties from pursuing any other remedy available to them for such breach or threatened breach. Seller and SunLink hereby acknowledge the necessity of protection against the competition and that the nature and scope of such protection has been carefully considered by the parties. Seller and SunLink further acknowledge and agree that the covenants and provisions of this Section 9 form part of the consideration under this Agreement and are among the inducements for Buyer entering into and consummating the transactions contemplated herein. The period provided and the area covered are expressly represented and agreed to be fair, reasonable and necessary. The consideration provided for herein is deemed to be sufficient and adequate to compensate for agreeing to the restrictions contained in this Section 9. If, however, any court determines that the foregoing restrictions are not reasonable, such restrictions shall be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of their nature and scope as will render them enforceable. The party who substantially prevails in an action to enforce this Section 9 shall be entitled to an award of costs and attorneys’ fees to be paid by the non-prevailing party.

-34-

The Parties agree that in construing this Section 9 in an enforcement action, the court should seek to comport with the reasonable intent and expectations of the Parties and in favor of providing reasonable protection of all legitimate business interest of the Buyer; and further if a court finds that a contractually specified restraint of Section 9 is overly broad, restrictive, or otherwise violates laws applicable to the scope of the restrictive covenant, then the Parties agree that the court may modify the restraint provision and grant only the relief reasonably necessary to protect such interest, or interests, and to achieve the original intent of the Parties to the extent possible.

10. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

10.5 Reproduction of Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, (b) the documents delivered at the Closing, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to Seller or to Buyer, may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.10 hereof, be reproduced by Seller and by Buyer by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process and Seller and Buyer may destroy any original documents so reproduced. Seller and Buyer agree and stipulate that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by the Seller or Buyer in the regular course of business) and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

10.6 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

-37-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall hire at least the minimum number of Seller’s employees as of the Closing, and upon such terms of employment, as necessary so as not to cause Seller to violate the WARN Act (defined below) in connection with the transition of the ownership of the Hospital Facilities from Seller to Buyer at the Closing. Buyer shall recognize the Hired Employees’ accrued seniority with Seller for purposes of Buyer’s employee benefit plans to the extent allowed or authorized by the terms, qualifications and limitations of said plans, and to the extent that such recognition does not require retroactive funding by Buyer for time or seniority accumulated by an employee of Seller prior to Closing. Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall assume for each Hired Employee such Hired Employee's accumulated and unused paid time off to benefit its employment with Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall agree on the dollar value of any unused paid time off accrued by Hired Employees prior to the Closing Date, for paid time off obligations for such Hired Employees and Buyer shall receive a dollar for dollar deduction from the Purchase Price in the amount of such paid time off assumed for such Hired Employees.

The terms “single site of employment,” “operating unit,” “employment loss” and “mass layoff” shall be defined as in the WARN Act. With respect to terminations of employees following the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for any notification required under the WARN Act. In respect of the Hired Employees employed by Buyer, it shall provide such employees with employee benefits consistent with the benefits generally offered to similarly-situated employees of Affiliates of Buyer in the same geographic area as the Hospital Facilities.

(c) Buyer will credit each eligible Hired Employee and their eligible dependents under any applicable Buyer employee welfare benefit plans with any deductibles, co-payments or other cost-sharing amounts attributable to the Hired Employee or eligible dependent under the Seller’s employee welfare benefit plans, as the case may be, following receipt by Buyer of reasonable evidence of any such deductibles, co-payments and/or other cost-sharing amounts.

10.9 Contract Rights Not Assigned. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any third party consents to the assignment of the Contracts and the assignable permits; provided, that, Seller shall not agree to any additional term or fee requested by a third party to such Contract without the prior consent of Buyer. If one or more of such consents is not obtained where such failure to obtain consent would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, Buyer shall have the right, acting reasonably and in good faith, to terminate this Agreement. If any other consent to assignment of the Contracts or assignable Permits is not obtained, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith after Closing in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer the benefits of such Contracts and Permits.

-38-

10.10 Use of Hospital Forms, Policies and Records. For a period of sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall permit Buyer to continue to use all electronic and printed forms and policies (the “Hospital Forms”) historically used by Seller in connection with the operation of the Hospital Facilities, regardless of whether such forms contain Seller’s trade names, trademarks and/or service marks. Upon Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with a database of information regarding prior patients so that Buyer may timely request a prior patient’s records should that patient be readmitted. Additionally, Buyer shall have complete access to all documents, policies and records stored on that portion of the computer system designated specifically to patient clinical care and patient billing.

10.11 Misdirected Payments, Etc. Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to remit to the other, with reasonable promptness, any payments received, which payments are on or in respect of accounts or notes receivable owned by (or are otherwise payable to) the other. In addition, and without limitation, in the event of a determination by any governmental or third-party payor that payments to the Seller or the Hospital Facilities resulted in an overpayment or other determination that funds previously paid by any program or plan to the Seller or the Hospital Facilities must be repaid, Seller shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered after the Closing Date. In the event that, following Closing, Buyer suffers any offsets against reimbursement under any third-party payor or reimbursement programs otherwise payable to Buyer, relating to amounts owing under any such programs by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall immediately upon demand from Buyer pay to Buyer the amounts so billed or offset.

10.12 Use of Controlled Substance Permits. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer shall have the right, for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, to operate under the licenses and registrations of Seller relating to controlled substances and the operations of pharmacies, until Buyer is able to obtain such licenses and registrations for itself. In furtherance thereof, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer at or prior to the Closing a limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

Buyer anticipates that (i) it may not obtain by the Closing Date all necessary governmental approvals to allow it to xxxx following Closing for services at the Hospital Facilities, and (ii) it will require information technology services from Seller or SunLink during a period of transition following Closing. Accordingly Buyer, Seller and SunLink agree to negotiate a mutually satisfactory form of agreement on or before the Cutoff Date (to be executed at the Closing) (x) providing for Buyer’s billing, at Buyer’s option, under Seller’s third party payor agreements for a period of approximately one hundred eighty (180) days, more or less, following Closing, and (y) for the provision of interim information technology services to Buyer of the type currently provided by SunLink to Seller for a period of approximately one hundred eighty (180) days, more or less, following Closing.

To the extent applicable, Buyer shall also provide a copy of all remittance advices or other documentation related thereto to Seller within five (5) days of submitting claims for Straddle Patients to payors.
